Van HISE TO BE PREXY
All the Indications Point to His
Election at Tuesdays Meeting
at Madison.
Special to. The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Madison, Wis, April 20.-From all in
formation to be had to-day it is believed
Professor Charles r. Van Hise will be
elected president of the state university
at the meeting of the regents to borrow
afternoon. Only two of the recents have
arrived here, neither being members of
the special committee having the presi-
dency in charge, but one of these said to-
day.
There is no question but that ma
jority Of the board is in favor of the cleo
tion of Professor Van Hise. We have
had plenty of time to make up our minds
and outside the committee, at least there
is no question but that he is practically
the unanimous choice. / see no reason
why he should not be elected tomorrow
We certainly cannot be accused Of un-
due haste, and I cannot see any reason
for further delay.
Asked if there is anything to the report
that there is doubt of Professor Van Hise
accepting the presidency. In view of
his work on the. United States geological
survey, the gentleman said there was
no doubt$o fhis acceptance.

DIED AT CITY HOSPITAL
Mrs. ). W. Hyde, Who Believed She Was
Heir to Hyde Park, Lon


/ Mrs. J. w. Hyde. aged IS years, the
last Of a family whose members thought
themselves heirs to the Hyde park prop
erty in London, died at the city hospital
yesterday of old age. Her husband died
eight days before and with her death the
family becomes extinct.
For several years the old couple had
lived alone in little hut at 1421 Wash
ington avenuelN and had eked out mis-
erable existence by the odd jobs which
the husband secured from sympathetic
neighbors. Several times they were in
want but when the charitable institutions
tried to do anything for them they were
repulsed They always explained that
they were heirs to the Hyde park prop
erty in London and would one day be
rich.
few weeks ago the police from the
North Side police station found the old
man sick and there was no food in the
house. The man was sent to the city
hospital and nurse was sent by the
Humane society to the house to care for
the woman who refused to be removed.
But the other day her condition became
much worse and she was sent to the city
hospital where she died without rallying.

reduced, there is more land ready for crop this

years. The percentage OF summer-fal1ow is
also much larger than for several years, which
would indicate good crop prospects If the land is
seeded In good time and the season is at all
favorable.
Not only does tile good weather mean much
because the crops can be sowed i'll good shape.
but it also means an immense saving to the
farmers, amounting to millions of dollars in the
aggregate, for the reason that by getting a good
start they can get along with fewer horses. less
machinery, a. smaller force of hired help, etc.

The elster (Pica candata) is a bird
that is respected and feared through
out south Germany. 1t belongs to the
raven tribe and is about the size of a
dove, with black and white feathers
and long, pointed tail. 1t builds it's
nest in orchards, and its life is sacred.
If it is seen three times in succession
on the same house top in place remote
from its home it is believed to be a
sure sign of death in that house. If it
flies over a house where any one is ill
and gives its peculiar cry the sick per-
son is sure to die, but if it does not
scream the patient may recover. 1t is
better for the sick person if the bird
does not come near.
No one could be hired to bother these
birds for fear they might seek revenge,
and if by chance one of them should
die it is a sign of bad luck to the own
er of the property where it was found.
The bird is valuable insect destroyer
and in this way probably more than
compensates for the fear it occasions
among the farmers.

CARE OF SHOES.

How to Preserve and Keep Them In
Good Condition.
Shoes are large item in woman's
expense and a large item in her per-
sonal appearance. The economical wo-
nan possesses several pairs of shoes. A
change about is restfu to the feet and
saves wear and tear on the boots.
She tres TO have on hand always
pair of heavy walking boots, pair of
lightweight boots, a pair of house
shoes, ties or slippers, according to
taste, and pair of bedroom slippers,
also a pair of foot holds and a pair of
storm overshoes.
Calfskin boots need good, honest at
tention, says the st. Louis Post-Dis-
BACKED as trinity as a mans. This can
be done at home or by the professional
at the shop where they have been pur-
chased
Laced shoes should be snugly laced
SO as to keep the wrinkles around the
ankles from getting loose and shape
less Several pairs of laces should be
kept Ill WOlnuHS emergency DON, lOI
knotted shoe lace is an abomination.
Shoe thread is, after all, better than
the patent fasteners, although requir-
ing more attention, because the fasten-
ers are often clumsy and sometimes
tear the leather.
All leather will wear better If an oc-
casional generous bath of vaseline Is
given it, A quantity may be rubbed on
and into the leather, then this carefully
rubbed off and the gloss restored by
brisk polishing with the palm of the
hand.
This is the best possible method for
keeping patent leather shoes in good
condition. Keep them well rubbed with
vaseline and never put them on until
soft rubbing with a flannel or the
hand has warmed and softened the
leather. Keep them rolled in flannel or
cotton when not in use, thus protecting
them from extremes of heat and cold,
and keep the toes stuffed into shape
with cotton

THE EVIL
THAT MEN DO
Massacre Of Servia's Rulers
Is Significant in More
Ways than One.
A HOUSE CLEANING NEEDED

The massacre in Belgrade, in which
the profiigate King of Servia and his
equally profligate Queen were shot
down in cold blood by the very troops
who had sworn to protect them, is sig
nificant in more ways than one. 1t
shows, first of all, that the old fallacy
to the effect that the King can do no
wrong" is no longer seriously accept
ed, even in semi-barbaric Servia, where
outward show and pomp naturally i'm
press the populace. 1t shows further
that rottenneSS, whether on throne
or in a hovel, is bound to demoralize
any condition of society it may infeSt.
Seryia is not an oyerscrupulouS land.
Things happen there for which even
Paris would blush, and happen with
little or no comment. Every reader of
newspapers is familiar with the careers
of mad King Milan and Queen Nata-
lie, both on and off the Seryian throne.
Inscriptions as she was, Natalie did
her best to protect her only son from
the vice infection that had Sullied the
royal house for thirty years. Her good
intentions were frustrated by the de-
bauchee, Milan, who instructed the
young prince in the science of liber-
image and found remarkably apt
pupil. Milan's conduct eventually be-
came such that he was compelled to
,abdicate and leave the country.
1t was hardly expected that Alexan-
der. bred and taught as he was, would
prove an ultimate saint 1t was only
when he had married the notorious di-
vorced wife of German physician and
installed her on the throne that his
subjects showed resentment. The end
was foreshadowed from that time,
vaguely, perhaps, but none the less
surely The family of Karageorge-
witch, which had been ousted from the
throne after a very brief reign in the
'40s, began to show its influence, tacit-
ly aided, it is rumored, by Russia. So
it was that on "Wednesday Alexander
and Draga were invited to step off the
throne. Their refusal had the inevita-
bile result-ineyitable in Servia.
Debauchery and license have wiped
away royal family and turned Servia
over to a plebeian king. 1t will take
strenuous housekeeping on the part
of Peter, the acclaimed ruler, to rem
der the throne fit to sit on. 1t remains
to be seen if he is the man for the
task.

The care of the sick can scarcely

TO the life of every woman. There are
