BRIGHT AND SUNNY
Was Sunday at the Capitals Of
France and Italy.
King Edward Pays Several Visits
Kaiser and Sons Visit Pope.
London Alarmed at False Report of
King Edwards Assassination.

Paris, May 3.-The picturesque fea-
lures of King Edwards visit to Paris
are practically over. The incidents of
today were comparatively quiet, but
they were still expressive of the re-
newal of Anglo-French good WILL
This morning, the King took short
stroll on his way to church. He seemed
to enjoy mingling in the throng of
church goers clad in bright spring at
tire. King Edward wore a dark grey
morning suit and high hat. He car
ried a cane in his left hand and walked
briskly with Sir Edmond j. Monson, the
British ambassador. Crowds of people
in their Sunday attire gathered at the
British embassy and along the thor
oughfares where His Majesty passed
and gave mild demonstrations of good
will.
The English chapel was decorated
with flowers and plants. The King was
met at the entrance by three of the Of
floating clergymen and conducted by
them to q red velvet arm chair at the
right of the chancel. The British am
bassador sat at the left of the chancel.
AT noon, today, Foreign Minister Del
casse gave a breakfast at the foreign
Office to His Majesty. Among the hum
dred guests present We're many notable
figures in official and diplomatic life, as
well as persons famous in the salons.
The grand dining hall had been elabor-
ately decorated and festooned with
flowers. On King Edwards right
hand sat Madame Delcasse and his left
was seated NJ. Fallieres, President of
the Senate. Opposite the King sat Nj.
Delcasse, the Papal nuncio, and Count
Won Wolkenstei the Austrian ambas-
sador, who is dean of the diplomatic
CORPS Admiral Cotton, Commander
HARDER, the naval attache at the Ameri
can embassy, and Lieut.. Charles l..
Hdssey of the Chicago, were present in
recognition of the courteSies extended
President Loubet by the American
squadron at Marseilles. Ambassador
Porter was unable to attend the break
fast, on account of the recent death of
his wife.
This afternoon, King Edward planted
a chestnut tree in the garden of the
British embassy in commemoration OF
his visit, and received the orphaned
pensioners of the British institution,
the corner stone of which he laid when
he was Prince of Wales. He also
found time, this afternoon. to discuss
the purchase of a new automobile.
Tonight. a gala dinner was given at
the British embassy to President Lou
bet This was followed by concert
by the leading artists of the opera.
The decoration of number Of
French officials by King Edward are
announced. The members of the King S
party have received the decoration OF
the order of the Legion of Honor.
An incident occurred, this evening,
on the street. but it was apparently OF
slight importance. At the moment
when President Loubet was leaving
the British embassy after the reception
following the dinner, a movement IN
the crowd about the embassy attract
ed the attention of the police. An in
vestigation was made and the police ar
rested three suspicious characters.

DO YOU HAVE RHEUMATISM?

The pains left like magic and my
weight increased. My appetite is bet
ter than it ever was, and now am well
and hearty. 1 cheerfully recommend
Father Johns Medicine to my friends
who know how l suffered"
This old remedy furnishes the nutri-
ton for the blood that makes strength,
and it has a gentle laxative effect
without weakening: it forces the pol
SOnouS matter out of the system
through the proper channels-the only
way disease can be successfully treat
ed. With this increase in vitality each
organ of the body is gradually enabled
to do the work nature intended it
should do-each day the kidneys get a
little more help, until finally they are
strong enough to throw off all the
waste matter and poison that accumu-
lates from day to day. The danger
with patent medicines is that they
either produce a temporary stimulation
by the use of alcohol, at the expense of
weakening the system or by the use of
injurious drugs deaden and Supply the
nerves so that they have less power and
vitality and consequently an increased
quantity of poisonous waste matter re-
mains in the system, and you grow
worse all the time. That is another
reason why we have warned you
against patent medicines, and why we
say it again-not a patent medicine,
but the prescription of an eminent ply
stefan who prescribed it for the late
Rev. Father John O'Brien of Lowell,
Mass, by whom it was recommended
and from whom it derived it's name.

RuiIding Collapsed.

New York, June lS.-Four persons
are missing and seven are more or less
seriously injured as the result of the
collapse OF the interior OF the factory
building at No. 40 Bowery at IL o'clock
this morning. The second and third
floors of the building were occupied by
the Lyons Paper Box Manufacturing
Company, and their employees, about oo
in number, were carried into the cellar
and buried in mass of debris, when the
break came. Many were able to scramble
out unaided and comparatively unin-
jured, but Others were pinned down by
huge boxes of paper or beams. Citizens,
policemen and iremen were quickly at
work and rescued several who were
quite seriously hurt. Two men
and two women are believed to
TO be buried in the ruins and the rescuers
are working hard to reach them. The
overlooking of the third floor with stock
caused the collapse. 1t gave way sud
denly and carried the other floors with il
into the cellar. Maurice Albert, owner
OF the building, was arrested.

largely responsible for the massacre OF
the Jews in Kisheneh, was attacked by
a party of Jews in the street in ct.

is not believed to be fatal. His assail-
ant was captured and proved to be a
former student of the Polytechnic School
at Kietf.
The Berlin Tageblatt yesterday in
mail advices from LODI, Russian Poland,
gives an account of disturbances there
ON Monday last. About 5000 young
working men Jews paraded the streets
in an orderly manner, but as a socialist

the number of those engaged, called on
the Cossacks for assistance and then the
police and Cossacks charged the work
ingmen, beating them with the fiat OF
their swords and with their fists and
mercilessly continuing the beating after
a number of the men had been arrested
and were helpless, and further beating
them when the prisoners were taken
into the police station, where, according
to the mail advices, blood ''ran in
riyulets." 1t is reported that 10 young
men we're beaten to death and that OF
the 100 who were arrested all were
seriously wounded. Surgeons worked
for five hours sewing up wounds after

STRIKE IN RICHMOND.

Richmond awoke yesterday morning
without street ear service. The union
street-car men of Richmond, Man
chester and Petersburg were includ-
ed in a strike order promulgated
at $3.50 O'Clock yesterday morning by
vote of the men at Old Market Hall,
and not an electric car wheel is turning
in the twin cities on either side Of the
James river. Richmond is pervaded by
an almost Sabbath air of stiffness, and
business was greatly retarded during the
day in many ways by lack of rapid tran
sit. Not car was run yesterday, and
the Passenger and Power Company post
ed notices at noon informing the men
that their pay was ready at the Office of
the company, at Seventh and Main streets,
and advising them that all who did not
report for duty by So'clock that morning
would be stricken from the rolls, and there
after will only be eligible to position in
the order in which they apply. They were
instructed to turn in their badges when
they apply for their pay. The strike so far
has not affected the powerhouses or shops,
both of which are being operated.
The strikers have pickets on duty at all
the depots, and as the ''strike-breakers"
arrive they will make an effort to dis
suade them from going to work. No
trouble has occurred, and the men have
been advised TO maintain an entirely
peaceful demeanor. A strike of hack
drivers was also scheduled for yesterday,
but fortunately for the public, did not
materialize. The public so far has taken
the tie-up good-humoredly. Public
opinion was against the strike, and for
this reason it is believed the strikers
will lose in their fight against the COM
pany. Special police arrangements have
been made About 600 men are out.
No trouble is apprehended from the
street ear men themselves, but there j:
fear of trouble from the hoodlum element
who generally are viciously active al
such times. The downtown restaurant
we're overrun yesterday with people wht
were in the habit of going home to din
ner, and business methods ofmany kinds
we're knocked out of beaten ways by the
strike.

porto Threatens bulgaria.

Sofia, June 1S.-The Balkan situa-
ton within the past few days has as
sumed a much more serious aspect.
The Turkish troops in Europe, which
now number 100000, are being gradu-
ally concentrated along the Bulgarian
frontier. The Porte has asserted that as
the instruction in Macedonia is sup
ported by Bulgarians, the only effective
way to check the movement may be to
invade Bulgaria.
NJ. Natchoyitz, the Bulgarian envoy
at Constantinople has strenuously repre-
scented to the Porte that the trouble in
Macedonia is due to the seventies of the
Turks themselves but has failed to secure
any change in the Turkish policy. Since
Sunday last, |, 500 more refugees, mostly
women and children, have entered Bull
garia from the province of Adrianople
alone, bringing tales of new atrocities
by the Turks.

Blown TO Atoms by Explosion.

London, June ia terrific and

factory at WOolwich this morning.
Five buildings we're completely wreck
ed. The latest statement places the
dead at IA and the injured at lS. Those
killed were blown to atoms. Theirre-
mains are unacceptable inasmuch as
the fragments were so small that they
were gathered up in buckets. The scene
about the wrecked buildings is pathetic
in the extreme. Women and children
and even strong men are standing about
weeping. many of them vainly trying to
see in the burned fragments of the
bodies some semblance of a missing
loved one.
