SANDER by Telephone.

Vienna Correspondence London Mail.
Seldom has a legal decision caused so
much popular excitement the recent
ruling OF the Austrian supreme court that
a conversation over the telephone Is to be
regarded as speaking in public, because 1t
might be overheard by a third party. The
judgment was given in connection with
one of those "Ehrenbeleidigung" or SANDER
cases, which are everyday occurrences in
this country. Speaking through the tele-
phone, a man called the cashier of bath
ing establishment IAN impudent person.
and was promptly hauled up for "Ehrenbe-
leidigung." and compelled to pay fine.
He appealed against the decision, saying
that the remark was made in private, but
the court of appeal held that 1t was not so
because the telephone operator or some
other person might possibly have over
heard 1t.
So much interest was aroused over this
decision that the minister of commerce. DR..
Forscht himself made a personal inspec-
ton of the chief telephone Office to see to
what extent telephone employees were like
ly to overhear conversations going on be-
tween the subscribers The minister has
now issued stringent general order for
bidding the employees to listen to CONVERSE
lions over the wires, and reminding them
that In cases where II is impossible for
them to avoid overhearing such talk II
must be regarded service secrets
which all officials and operators are SOL
EMMY pledged to observe.

The Bee Cure.
From Life.


One of the latest cures for rheumatism
is bees. These are applied to the place or
places most in need.
Care should be taken before applying the
remedy to secure good, active bees. Some
bees are naturally timid by nature. They
are understood and underfed and have not

of bee determines his power. 1t fire.

The Siege Of Mulligan's Fort.
From the London Mail


"Mulligan's Fort Arva. County Cavan,
has fallen after siege lasting since June.
Then the landlord obtained a decree for
possession of the premises of Mr.. Mulligan,
who Immediately barricaded the house,
built a wall along the back OF the premises
topped with barbed wire, heavily shattered
the windows and REINFORCED them with
sandbags and put in extra doors.
The fort was garrisoned with relays of
men. who at first numbered about fifty,
and these kept a sharp lookout for the po-
lice and bailiffs. The display of force was
apparently too much for the authorities,
who made no attempt to storm the citadel.
A few weeks ago Mr.. Mulligan obtained
another house, and funds for the defense
having run low the garrison was withdrawn
and the fort was shut up.
Yesterday morning n special train arrived
at Leggaginny Crossing. near Armagh. with
a very strong force of police and bailiffs.
The men reached Arva before the inhabi-
tants We're astir. and when they rose they
found the fort in possession of the enemy
without a blow being struck. The landlord.
who arrived in Cavan during the day. was
unable to obtain a conveyance to take him
to Arva.

NEW MEMBERS SECURED.
Progress of the Jobbers and Shippers
Association.

AS a result of the efforts of the cam
vasser who is working to increase the
membership of the Jobbers and Shippers
Association. it was stated today that six
new members have been added to the roll
of that organization. 1t is the expectation
of Mr.. Woodwork Clum. the assistant sec
rotary. that the 900 membership mark will
be reached before New Year day. Within
a few days a committee. composed o.
Messrs. b. w. Guy. Monroe Luchs and
Woodwork Clum. will depart for Lynch
burg, Va, with the view of endeavOrlng
TO induce one of the big shoe concerns
there to locate a wholesale establishment
in this city.
Complaint is made that the local mer-
chants are very slow in subscribing to the
space that is left of the aggregate amount
engaged at the jamestown exposition for
the District exhibit. 1t is said that approx
mately 5000 feet remains for disposition.

Restoring a Rubens Ceiling.

From the London Tribune.
Provision has been made in next years
estimates for a sum of f2.000 toward the
cost of cleaning and restoring the famous
Rubens ceiling in the old banqueting hall
of Whitehall Palace. The work. which has
become urgent. is to be carried out on next
summer.
These valuable paintings have been re-
touched upon several occasions-once by
Cipriani. who received exactly $4,000 for
his labors. Rubens. who was commissioned
by Charles l to undertake the work, re-
ceived as his reward $4,000. or E10 a yard.
1t was intended originally that Vandyke
should have painted the sides of this beau
uful apartment with history of the Order
of the Garter.
An interesting fact In connection with
the ceiling is that Rubens canvases are
attached by leather bands. SO that their re-
moval for purposes of restoration is mat
ter of little or no difficulty. The subjects
of the paintings are chosen to illustrate the
prosperous condition of Great Britain in
the reign of King James I.

The Chaperon.
From the London World


OF course the chaperon question. as it is
generally understood, Is a middle-ciass one:
but Father Vaughan perfectly understood
what he was saying when he alluded to
the lack of surveillance of a properly digni-
fed and perfectly agreeable kind from
which SO many girls really suffer nowadays.
This is due partly to the fact that mothers
do not seem to want to be bothered to
look after their girls. and partly to the
fact that hostesses seem to resent much
"mothering." But even allowing for the
fact that the preacher has not spared his
colors in order to make his picture suffi-
GENTLY striking. one knows perfectly well
that far too much latitude is given to girls
not only In country houses but in town as
we'll It would not be at all a bad thing
for English society IL we could go back
to the days when people kept almosc
absurdIy watchful eyes on the proprieties.
Their vigilance may sometimes have been
eiuded, II Is true; 1t may sometimes have
provoked ridicule; but at least II conveyed
the idea that mothers set a high standard
for their girls, and were at some pains 10 see
that they came somewhere near 1t. 1t was
good for men to feel this, moreover. for II
surely made women seem better worth the
winning IL they had been Jealously guarded
under the experienced eye of a duenna who
knew man and his ways.

KNITTING OF PEARRE
FEATURE - OF THE ELECTION
AROUND CUMBERLAND.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star
CUMBERLAND. Md, November 6-The
election today is the quietest in the history
OF this city. The voting is slow. and 1t IL
very probable that the vote will be light.
In precinct No. 1. of ward No. 6, the home
of Representative George A. Pearre and ex-
Senator Wellington, as well as Mr.. LLOYD
Lowndes. but eighty-f1ve votes had been
polled at noon out Of a total of 500 No. a
worker was to be seen in the vicinity of
the polls, and there was no evidence what
ever that an election was in progress
This being at the court house, there had
always heretofore been a crowd about the
polls. the voting is slow in the mining re-
gion. Notwithstanding this, the republican
committee says that 1t has made arrange
ments to get out full vote.
Postmaster William Pearre, brother of
Representative George 4. Pearre. and a
member Of the state central committee, says
that he expects from 800 to 1900 majority
in this county. He is confident Of such a
result because of the democratic support
which is being accorded his brother.
The Dick following at Homecoming offered
to give odds last night that Pearre would
not receive over SOC majority in the county.
They are knitting Pearre today but this
will be more than offset by democratic
votes. The Pearre people said today that
they did not look for the votes of Mr..
Lloyd Lowndes and his immediate follow
ing.
Is Doughless Fight.
Practically no money is being used. The
only expenditure is for hacks. The demo-
Gratis have no money at ALL. 1t Is known
that In one republican district where the
majority is over 100. but SO were allowed
for election purposes.
There being but one name to count upon
a ticket, 1T is assured that the result will
be known very early.
The Pearre people declare that the pub
LEGATION of a private letter by the demo-
cratic committee, which Mr.. Pearre had
written to David E. Dick. had acted as a
boomerang The democratic committee had
waited on Col. Pearre and threatened to
publish the letter If he, Pearre, used the
charge that his opponent, Mr.. Spessard.
was an inf1del.
Mr.. Pearre said he had not intended to
use the charge against Spessard at all, al
though he had 1t ready for mailing, but
when this threat was made he determined
to act as he had originally planned, and the
charge was sent out after the curt retort to
the democratic-committee: I'm going to
run my campaign. and you can run yours
as you see ft.''
Col. Pearre was much angered by the
publication Of the confidential letter which
he wrote Mr.. Dick. He said. however, he
did nothing to retract, and IL the public in
dorsed such methods, he would be very
much surprised.

third-class cities in the state-near.y fifty


cities in all.
The state offices to be filled by the votes
of qualified citizens are those of governor.
lieutenant governor. auditor general and
secretary of internal affairs In addition to
these. thirty-two representatives In Con-
gress, twenty-five state senators and 2OI
members of the state house of representa-
tives will be voted for.
In the state the greatest interest turns
on the election of a governor and the state
senators, who will nave a voice In choos-
ing a successor to United States Senator
Penrose.
In many of the sixty-six counties outside
of Philadelphia the contest for other offices
has been overshadowed by the guberna-
toral conflict. but the voters OF the us
trlcts are waging bitter and determined bat
ties against the election OF candidates TO
senate known to be Penrose supporters.
The great issue in the state was the cap
itol extravaganza, and this and the cry
against organization control have been the
arguments universally advanced by the III"
sionlsts against the election of Stuart. the
republican candidate for governor.
In this city the issue has been the dis
trict attorneyship. While a city treasurer
and register of wills and four judges are to
be elected here. the entire fight centers on
the contest between d. Clarence Gibbony
and Samuel Rotan. The fight for state
offices has been of less interest here than
for county officers, and the result Will
probably show that the heads of the ticket
have fallen behind the county candidates.
Besides voting for the county and state
officers, Philadelphians are called upon to
pass upon the authorization of perma-
nent loan of $13,JO0.OO0 This loan is re-
quired to complete the filtration system and
other public improvements.

suspended, the other end of the hammock
Is left on the hook from which it usually
hangs. The hammock is thus suspended
diagonally across the BERTH. now put In
two pillows end to end. These serve the
double purpose of spreader and bedding
If the hammock is strung tightly it will
swing clear of the person sleeping below
and the rougher the road the more the
hammock swings and the sounder the baby
