Burton Holmes at oberammerpau.

Perhaps the most interesting lecture or
''travalogue" in the series to be delivered
by Mr.. Burton Holmes this coming winter
will be on the STORY of the Cross" which
Is the tableau presented by the inhabitants
of that most quaint and picturesque village
of Oberammergau, Bavaria. Mr.. Holmes
has been in Oberammergau for the past two
weeks gathering material for this lecture.
The following interesting account has just
been received Of Mr.. Holmes recent visit
there:
I'VE reached Oberammergau on Friday.
Saw the play Sunday, but l was more
concerned in getting shots at the Queen
Dowager, Margherita of Italy. AS l stood
on wall. waiting TO photograph the queen
as she descended from her hotel after the
play, the village interpreter shouted at me,
Sir, the courier of the queen wishes to see

bows low-presents his card and begs me
in mingled French and Italian to confide
my address to him. Her majesty, said he,
possesses bioscope and desires to add to
her collection copies of the films this morn
ing taken by Signor Holmes-if possible
"Of course We promised to send posi-
tives' positively. The fact that the queen
mother OF the reigning King of Italy owns
a bioscope and takes her own motion pic
ture records of people and events will no
doubt appear bit strange to Americans
nevertheless 1t is a well-known fact that
In Europe many wealthy people devote no
little of their spare time to taking ami
mated pictures"

A Constitution for the Transvaal.

hdiper "eehiy-
The new Transvaal constitution makes
provision for a legislative assembly con-
sisting of the lieutenant governor between
six and nine official members. and between
thirty and thirty-1ve elected members.
Every burgher of the former republic who
was entitled to vote for the first volksraad,
and any white British subject occupying
premises of the annual rental value OF flo.
or capital value of f100. VIII be entitled to
vote-a privilege entirely denied to the ma
tive blacks. All debate In the new legfsla-
ture will be in English: but, by permission
of the presiding officer, any member may
address the assembly in Dutch. Financial
measures must first be recommended to
the assembly by the governor. and no part
of the revenue may be issued without his
authority. That, however, England does
not propose to give too much latitude in
her new possessions is indicated by the
circumstance that from the former Orange
Free State, now the Orange River Colony,
representative institutions are withheld
There Is less urgency" explains the colo
NAL secretary. The London Times is more
outspoken. The real reason for not CIV
ing representative institutions to the Or
ange River Colony" says the government
organ, rs very plain and very strong, and
we see no advantage in refusing to avow
1t. The Beers are in a majority in the
colony and not in the Transvaal. 1t is
pushing confidence In them quite far
enough to give them representative insti-
tutions three years after the war, where
they will form a powerful minority in the
Legislature. 1t would be folly to give them
such institutions so early where they must
be an all-powerful majority"

MISS CHARLOTTE WALKER. - Miss
Charlotte Walker has become, during her
stay here, one of the most popular leading
women this city has ever had. She was not
exactly a stranger to Washingtonians, as
she had been seen here before during the
past three seasons. when she visited here as
leading woman with Mr.. James X. Hackett,
but having been here on only three different
occasions local theatergoers had not had
an opportunity of becoming SO well ac-
quainted with her. During her engagement
with the Columbia Theater company she
has had several varieties of roles to enact.
and in each line of work she seems equally
proficient
Miss Walkers stage career has not been
a very long one; Her first engagement was vas
she remained in this position only few
weeks when she was taken Ill and was
obliged to take rest. She went to Eng
land with her mother, and while there was
engaged as leading woman with Charles
Hawtrey, the well-known English actor,
playing an American girl in production
he made called The Mummy" She took
London by storm and the papers on the
morning after the first night were loud in
their praise of this young American. She
soon gave up the part, however, as her
mother raised so much objection to her
taking up a stage career. She returned
visit to Paris, and probably the stage would
never have seen her again had not the
flood which visited that town wiped out
most of her family's worldly possessions.
Her next venture on the stage was in
musical comedy, of which work Miss Walk
is very fond. While in the musical piece
she was advised by well-known manager
to take up more serious line of work. and
so she joined Mr.. James X. Hackett's COM
pany, with which she has been ever since.
Her first engagement with Mr.. Hackett
was gypsy in Don Caesars Return"
and from that small beginning she has
worked her way to leading position. While
with Mr.. Hackett she created several roles,
but the one she likes best of all is Vir-
ginia Carvel In The Crisis" Miss Walker
was the ideal Virginia. There has been
some talk of starring her in this play, and
she has also had several other splendid
offers for next season, but she has not yet
decided just what she will do.
Many are the predictions for brilliant
future for this charming actress, and
Neutrality-suspicious. will always feel deep in
terest in anything she undertakes.

CURE FOR HAY FEVER.
German Professors Experiments With
Massage Treatment Favorable.

few years ago Prof. Dunbar OF Hams
burg found that by means of a solution of
salt 1t is possible to extract from the pollen
of varieties of grass held responsible Tor
the disease a substance which, through It's
effects upon the mucous membranes of the
nose or eye, has shown itself to be the pol
son of hay fever.
United States Consul General Guenther,
at Frankfort, who has made a report 10 the
State Department on the subject. says;
What has heretofore been surmsed has
now been demonstrated-that a peculiar
predisposition Is necessary to contract the
disease. Prof. Denker of Erlangen has made
a series of further experiments and has
published his conclusions in the Munich
Medical Weekly Journal. He first vacci-
mated hay fever patients with the serum
prepared by Prof. Dunbar. and regretfully
ascertained that the remedy did not always
produce the desired effect. He resorted to
another mode of treatment consisting IN
massage of the mucous membrane OF the
nose which first must be rendered insens
sihle by cocaine The massage Is made by
means of a probe covered with cotton, and
is made once a day, lasting only from TWO
10 three minutes for each nostril; later, one
minute longer. The results so far oDserVeS
IN eight cases have been very encouraging,
and the favorable effects have not only
la sted for one year, but have also been
noticeable in the second ear. As hay fever
is very Irritating and, on account OF Its re-
currence very Troublesome. a trial OF PROF..
Denker's method is recommended.

Washington is the possessor OF more than
100000 ornamental trees, a larger number
than the inhabitants and with its FREQUENT
parks Is peerless emerald set about with
opalescent and ruby gems. After a view
OF London or New York the city of Washs
ington is tiny thing, for. looked at from
such height as the tower of the post
office or monument, the horizon is near at
hand, and the line Of demarkation between
buildings and real country is almost sharp
In It's outline. A waving mass OF deep green

ating avenues lend to the picture a charm
possessed by other city In the world,
From a height Washington Ia withoue
doubt the most beautiful of all mans creaa
lions. She Is set in vale bordered with
softly rising heights, and her parks are SO
many that they can scarcely be counted,
Every where the eye looks Is sea OF green
with here and there an island OF deep red
or dazzling white fading to cream. Away
to the south is the winding silver ribbon
called the Potomac. which grows still wider
as II leaves the city, while on the north are
the heights that circle the town and seem
to forbid 1t leaving their embrace. On tho
east Is a white island that outclasses any,
thing In Europe for beauty Of proportion
and harmony OF color. 1t is the Capitol
while just beyond is an island of simmer
ing gold set in a sea of green. 1t Is the
Library of Congress. And all around are
the dots of red and white and gray and
cream that mark the places that man calls
hotels and apartment houses and governs
ment buildings Here at the feet is brilr
liant white dot in the midst of a great
mass of waving green speckled with red
and yellow. 1t is the White House in its
setting In the midst of the parks, while the
varicolored dots are the flower beds and
that silvery spray is a fountain. There is,
after all, nothing quite so beautiful as
Washington when seen from height at
the beginning of summer before the leaves
of the thousa nds of trees have taken on
that tone of maturity that detracts from
the brilliant green of early June. 1t Is b
dream of beauty, and whenever Ii is doubt
ed that the capital is the gem of all cities
let the doubter ascend to the top OF the
monument and look about him. He will
be converted to what all Washingtonians
have been taught and what the most OF
them sincerely incorporate as part OF
their creed Washington is peerless.

The very immensely of London Is bewli-
dering and its color tones are as varied as
the scene spread before the eye from
height. Down in what Londoners call the
city the smoky haze that almost always
overhangs 1t gives to the atmosphere
blue-gray tinge that, at a distance, be-
comes a color that would appeal TO the
eye Of an artist. 1t Is the tone effect seen
in the impressionist pictures of the modem
school of art. Artists of that school see
dark blue rocks in lighter blue meadow.
The unframed eye cannot see these colors
in nature, but readily see them when they
are transferred to canvas. So 1t is with
the London of the skies. The impression is
one of soft blue at the center fading away
to gray, maroon and light blue at the
horizon, for one must get long distance
above the worlds metropolis to have the
horizon show anything but miles upon
miles OF buildings dotted with parks.
But the most amazing and at the Same
time varicolored sight is the metropolis of
the western world. New York may be seen
from any one of its innumerable sky-scrap-
ers for the tops of these tremendous struc-
lures are SO far above the street level that
they form vantage ground from which
magnificent spectacle Is spread before the

Great cities of the world all have their
individual color tones. No two are pre-
cisely similar and many are In broad con-
trast.-Some, seen as the birds see them,
are gray. some are red, some are green
and some blue. A few OF them mingle two
or more colors so that a variegated scene Is
shown to the bird's-eye viewer. for. no mat
ter how many colors are in the composition
of the city a gradual mingling of all is
effected when the view Is had from dis
lance.
There are even strong contrasts between
the cities of Europe and those of America.
The former are generally lighter In tone
than their cousins this side of the wa
ter, not even excepting smoky London, for
that city, when seen from a considerable
height, gives the impression of blue-gray
dotted with creamy spots and divided by
a deep blue band. which is nothing less
than the historic Thames. Paris is the
cream city of Europe yet in contrast with
Milwaukee, the real cream city," 1t is
rather murky. The houses Of Paris are al
most all of the same general height and.
seen from above. there is a monotony of
form and color that wearies the eye. Be-
fore the erection Of the Eiffel Tower there
was really no good point of vantage from
which Paris could be seen save a balloon,
and the views that swung between the Wis
ion of the aeronauts who sailed over the
great city were ever changing and mag
nifcent, for under such conditions every
thing in the landscape beneath seems to
be moving while the balloon remains sta
tionary. Paris at such time rolls beneath
the eye in a panorama of color and form
quite bewildering in its combined beauty.
Here and there are green and blue islands
in the sea of cream and slate and the SHIN
mering Seine winding It's serpentine course
through all. Yet the general aspect of
Paris is decidedly soiled cream.
From the birds point of view one of the
most beautiful cities Of the world is Buda
Pesth, Its character being an emerald green
with here and there the dots that show
where a great state building stands. This
Is the only city in Europe that may be COM
pared with the capital of the United States,
and whenever Washington is called the
most beautiful city on earth there are those
who have visited Buda Pesth who shake
their heads and say: Not yet" The
character of the Hungarian city varies, as
do all the others, according to the height
from which II Is seen. Near at hand the
tone is deep green-always remembering
that these views are to be observed at the
time of most abundant verdure and never
in the winter-but the observer goes
higher and higher the tone changes toward
a blue and finally beautiful turquoise spot
on the map of the earth below is the pic
ture of Buda Pesth. 1t is exclusively
picturesque gem set in a sea of harmonic
ing tones of which IT is the center.
