MOTORS RELOCATE HORSES.
Notable Fall in Prices at Yorkshire
Farm Sales

Special Correspondence of The Sunday Star.
LONDON, April g. 1906
A heavy fall in the price of cart horses
at the Yorkshire spring farm sales Is at
tributed to the increasing use of motor We
E1cles for town work.
Motors are affecting horse breeding in
good many ways. In some districts where
farming is on a large scale it has been found
cheaper to employ power instead of horse
mesh for the conveyance Of heavy loads, be-
cause of the adaptability of the motor to
other fields Of agricultural labor.
The breeding of lighter horses, for doc
tors carriages, butcher carts and livery
stables, will for a time show a decline In
profit, because of the gradual cheapening
of motor cars
But the ultimate end will be-" predicted
well-known expert, that the price of or
binary horse flesh will go up. After the
stump the BOOM People will give I'D rails
ing horses because it does not pay, but
there will always be a certain demand for
them and as the supply may easily fall be-
low the actual requirements, those who re-
main in the business will be able to make
larger profits. 1t Is hoped that the war Of
flee is noticing the trend Of modern locomo-
ton, and organizing encouragement to
farmers for the breeding Of army horses"

At the annual meeting of the National

Sir William made a powerful appeal for

man of the meeting. Lord Derby suggested
that the question Of dealing with tuber-
culosis resolved itself into a three-fold
treatment. First, there was the hospital
for cases where the disease could be ar
rested and the patients sent back to their
ordinary life.
To supplement the hospital there should
be places of rest, where those who could
go back to active employment could be
able to work under easier conditions and
others.
Lastly. there should be refugees where
those whose days were irrevocably num-

comfort, segregated from those whom they
would otherwise infect.

themselves with revolvers at one and the
same moment, both falling beside Creslna

RUSSIAN COURT LIFE.
Stories of Little Duchess Olga-Deeply
Loves Gear.

Special Correspondence of The Sunday Star.
ST. PETERSBURG, April 6. 1905.
Miss Eagan, a lady who in 1893 was
chosen by the czarina to take charge of the
little grand duchess, remaining six years at
the Russian court relates some pretty sto-
ries of the inner side of life in the winter
palace.
The little Grand Duchess Olga was three
years old when Miss Eagan went to the
Russian court She was then a dutiful
child, with large blue-gray eyes and long
golden curls. The Grand Duchess Titiana
was a year and a half. She is described
as very pretty, and very like her mother
but delicate in looks.
The Grand Duchess Marie was born some
time after the arrival of Miss Eagan, who
believes that the little princess came into

NEWBORN ISLANDS.
Origin by Volcanic Eruption - Japan
Italy of the Seas.

Special Correspondence of The Sunday Star.
LONDON, April 8, 1905.
A member of the Royal Geographical So
ciety, speaking of the newborn island in
Japan, says there have been many such
occurrences in the worlds history.
ages ago. he said, 1.-The sudden upheav-
al of land was a common occurrence, and
many Of these Mechanically fashioned places
today support life and are the scenes of
human activity.
1.-The Azores, in the North Atlantic ocean,
are typical of islands whose existence is
due to subterranean volcanic eruptions. St.
Michael, ST. Mary and the seven smaller
islands Of the group, although fertile and
lovely, in this way sprang unexpectedly
into being. So recently as 1911 a new island
rose suddenly among the Azores to height
of 800 feet, then as suddenly disappeared.
Upon his return from a voyage across
the Indian ocean the captain of a trader
reported the presence of an island unmarked
upon the chart. Investigators, unable to
discover any sign Of the new island, made
facetious references to whisky and the sea
serpent. Yet. 1t was pointed out, the phe-
nomenon of an island of a day was by no
means beyond the bonds of possibility.
In this Self-Same ocean, and z, 600 miles
from the nearest land, is the small island
of st. Paul. Its existence is due to the
energy of submerged volcanoes.
Instances of this sort might be multiplied
Indefinitely The raised beaches of the Isle
of Man and Ayrshire and some of the rocky
islands round our own coasts are due to
submarine volcanoes.
Whether or not Japan's new island has
come to stay it is impossible now to sug-
gest. 1t certainly is not safe foothold at
present. Japan is prominently the land
of earthquakes. I do not think, though
that the country is in serious danger from
this cause. One might compare Italy, with
its Vesuvius, TO Japan, with it's volcanic
system, onl ythe latter is more active and
energetic"

THE MAIDS OF SURREY.

LONDON, April s. 1905.
Feminine Indifference to man has always

there was nothing to be CLEANED there.

INTERESTING NEWS

FOUND A SLEEP CURE.
Swedish Professors Remedy-A Sym
pathetic Treatment.

Special Correspondence of The Sunday Star.
STOCKHOLM, April 8, 1906.
DR.. Otto Watterstrand, the eminent au-
thority on therapeutics, has inauguarted
what is termed as the "sleep cure" for
those suffering from mental depression due
to overwork and kindred causes His
method is to induce prolonged sleep-even
to three or four weeks in succession. DR..
Watterstrand has already treated over
5000 cases.
The jaded, worried man reclines in an
easy chair; he sees others doing the same;
he listens, as they do. to quiet, forcible
exposition of the cure from the doctor;
he afterward speaks to him individually in
a subdued undergone, suggesting the ben
eft his particular malady will receive
After a few days of such preliminary
treatment the patient goes willingly to bed
and to sleep, reused occasionally to a half
conscious state to eat and be tended.
No unauthorized person is allowed to en-
ter the room; the sleeper is put en- rapport
with sympathetic nurse, and receives the
necessary suggestions as to eating, ETC.,
from the doctor himself
THE remarkable results" says a great
French physician, which Wetterstrand has
had will considerably extend the limits OF
suggestive therapy."
The deeper the sleep the quicker the
cure, and, unlike that produced by hypnotic
drugs 1t Is as invigoratirIg as natural sleep,
and allows nature an equal chance of re-
pairing organic and functional disorders.

MYSTERIOUS LETTER WRITER.
Berlin Arrest Developed Remarkable
Case-Slander Charged
ce of The Sunday Star.

speciaI Correspondence of The Sunday Star.
BERLIN, April g. 1905.
The arrest of Privy Councillor Won Kracht
and his wife on the charge of SANDER IN
the prncipality of Detmol6 has developed
one of the most remarkable cases of its
kind in Germany.
About 1897 the defendants father recefv-
ed large number of anonymous letters
containing scandalous statements about his
son and his love affairs with certain young
ladies we'll known in the district. The de-
PENDANT himself and nearly all the other
prominent people of Detmold received SINH
lar scandalous letters.
The whole principality was in state or
the greatest excitement, and nobody would
trust even his most intimate friends for
fear of being exposed in these anonymous
missives.
Finally Won Kracht himself was accused
of having written them. court, however,
decided in his favor. In 1900 the defendant
was married, and the anonymous letters
suddenly ceased. Won Kracht's father died
in 1903, leaving his son great fortune.
The works of the anonymous slanderer
were almost forfotten when suddenly in
1904 letters were again showered on all the
leading families of the principality. AS
the result of the researches of detectives
an order to examine Won Krachts house
was obtained, and imprints were found on
his blotting paper which correspond ex-
actly with some of the anonymous miSsives.
He was accordingly arrested, but the pub
lie establishment was even greater when
while Won Kracht was in prison, the letters
still continued. He was thereupon released
on $50 900 ball. and the Berlin police were
intrusted with the case.
After weeks of research they arrested
Frau Won Kracht as the principal offender,
and she and her husband now stand ac-
cused of having written nearly two hundred
letters of the most scandalous nature.
