that sum will be increased by fully

TO PREVENT HER WEDDING
Imprisoned In Cellar for Fifteen Years
by Brothers Who Objected
to Marriage
Special Cable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald.
ATHENS, May 19.-,Fifteen years ago
beautiful girl belonging to well
Known family, conceived an extraordf-
nary passion for a boatman consider
ably older than herself, and allowed
herself to be carried off. The abduc-
tion created a scandal. The girls two
brothers went in search of the fugi-
tices, and found them In a cave on a
deserted island. On seeing the brother
accompanied by a number of friends,
the boatman escaped. He jumped into
the sea and swan to the opposite
shore where, however, he was met by
the other brother.
The latter, instead of killing the
boatman, set him free after giving him
a thrashing. AS for the girl, the broth
ers took her home, and, 1t is alleged,
shut her up in the cellar telling her
that she would never be allowed to
leave it. According to the story, she
has been confined in the cellar for
fifteen years. She sees only an old SER
want, who puts her food through
small window every day.

DON'T BRUSH THE CLOTHES
London Medical journal Points Out
Awful Danger of oerms-Special
Room Urged

Special Gable to The Herald.
LONDON, May 19.-The current num-
Der of the Lancet devotes an article
to pointing out the danger of the
clothes brush. 1t declares the brush
ing Of clothes in living rooms is op-
posed to cleanly sentiment, apart alto
gether from the evil to health. which,
as the bacteriology of dust indicates,
might easily be caused.
After dilating on the dangers of the
micro-organisms and pathogenic en-
titles contained in the dust of gar
ments, the Lancet admits that clothes
must be brushed, but in a household
conducted on hygienic lines a special
room should be set apart for this work.
Even this, however, says the Lancet.
is not sufficient, for the brushing of
clothes is a clumsy, unsanitary pro-
cedure which might be advantageous
ly superseded by some more effective
and less offensive method. The use of
some kind of vacuum brush would
from a sanitary point be the ideal way
of cleaning clothes.

SEA IS EATING
ALL ENGLAND UP
OCEAN PLAYING FRANKS WITH
TIGHT LITTLE ISLE
People In Some Places HurrledIy Move
From Houses on Coast They Had
Considered secure-elo
Tract Goes Yearly y

Special Cable to The Herald
LONDON May 19.-Such sighs as go
up in New York when~old Ocean bites
off a bit Of beach at Coney island would
but feebly express the distress of Eng
lishmen who realize that the sea is
steadily eating up their "bright little,
tight little ISLE" Everything that the
coast people can do to stop It has been
done, but with small effect. Now a
royal commission has been appointed
to study the problem.
on the east coast the question Of coast
erosion is both chronic and acute. 1t
is even a matter of personal danger to
many people living in houses that may
at any moment crumble about their
heads.
In some districts such as Pakefleld,
near Lowestoft, 1t is no unusual sight
to see furniture hastily withdrawn In
the dead of night from house that IL
week before seemed centuries away
from demolition by the waves. At this
spot. the breaking of the waves upon
the coast can be distinctly felt far IN
land, and houses well behind the sea
front tremble and shudder in an
ominous manner when seas of more
than usual heaviness break upon the
crumbling cliffs.
From the tweed around the eastern,
southern and western coasts to Solway
Firth remorseless Neptune Is CONSTANT
ly wearing away the edge of the lard,
throwing the debris back into the depths
or making sandbanks, shoals and other
obstructions dangerous to shipping and
threatening to dam many a waterway
that gives life to a thriving port.
Every year England loses a portion
of her mainland equal to the Rock Of
Gibraltar, whose base covers nearly two
square miles and whose summit Is 1900
feet above Since Caesar first set foot
in Britain move than one hundred
square miles of land has disappeared.
Roughly speaking, so much Of Eng
land as still remains above water lies
in the form of an inclined plane, Of
which the lower edge is the east coast
and the higher edge is the west coast.
In Wales Cumberland and Cornwall
rocks rise abruptly to face the stormy
Atlantic, whose waves dash themselves
against the cliffs with much noise and
foam, but with little further conse-
quence. And yet, in spite of this, the
west coast has been robbed Of an er1or-
nous area of land.
The Scillyj Isles are the remains of
what was once the famed and fertile
land of Lyonesse, believed by competent
authorities to have extended fifty miles
west of the Lizard. Mounts Bay was
an impenetrable forest.
Wales and Som ersetshire were once
joined, and the actual narrow mouth OF
the Severn was much nearer the outer
end of Bristol Channel. Indeed, this
opening has been widened by the cease
less rush of the Atlantic tides and to-
day there is no more imposing sight
than the "bore" of the river, which
sweeps upward in a solid wall of water
at high speed, carrying everything
before it.
The great gap in the coast of Wales,
known as Cardigan Bay, was once dry
land and from the North Welsh coast
to Solway Firth the land has paid
ceaseless toll to the sea.

Special Gable 10 The Herald.


PARIS, May 19.-Cats and mirrors
nearly fill Jan Van Beers studio.
The wealthy artist has opened his
atelier on the Champs Elysees to visit
ors, who are simply amazed at it.
When a certain American society
woman entered the studio she gasped,
then exclaimed:
The apotheosis of pussy cats!"
Painted cats peer down from all the
walls. china kittens collected from all
over the world repose on the brackets
living Angoras purr by the fireplace,
from every chair and lounge yellow
eyes stare.
The effect of the cats is intensified,
multiplied, by Van Beers other mania
that for mirrors The walls of the
salons are lined with mirrors so that
the house is more like crystal maze
than private residence. Mysterious
corridors hung with huge looking
glasses open a seemingliy endless vista.
The dining room is a triumph of spec
tacular effect The table is made of
huge glass slab, which is Illuminated
from below by myriad electric lights,
which, however, throw the rouge pow
der of the feminine guests into glar-
ing relief.
"How can you live in such a gilt.

Il am only indulging myself in
harmless hobbies" Van Beers replied.

CRITICISE HERR CONRlED
Paris Writers Say Impresario's Meth

special Gable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald.
PARIS, May 19-The director of the
Metropolitan opera finds a heap of ad-
verse criticism and ridicuIe awaiting
him. The press of Europe unites in
criticising his dollar empire in the
realms of music" The leading critics
say: True, the Yankees have the most
expensive opera in the world, but dol
lars play the first fiddle, sometimes
good, oftener bad, never artistically."
These irreverent critics of the Herr
Director insist that Conried began his
career by asserting that he would have
no stars, while he "dexteriously manu-
features a star out of every second
rate singer or prima donna hired for
New York.
For So he sometimes delivers FIVE
stars of an evening-one might call his
enterprise a grand opera tingle:tangle
or grand opera variety. The singers
are everything, the work doesn't count
at ALL"
The Berlin and Vienna press stoutiy
denies that America has a music low
ing public. THE great majority of
Metropolitan opera goers go to hear the
stars or some special aria; also to see
and be seen."

ST. HELENA is PASSING
British War Office to Take Steps That
viii Leave Real Inhabitants With
No Alternative
Special Gable to The Herald.

Special Gable TO The Herald.
PARIS, May 19.-Napoleon died at
st. Helena, May 5, 1921. Almost at the
same time the British war office has
resolved to withdraw the entire gar
rison from the little island 1400 miles
off the coast of Guinea where Napoleon
lIed, and where in recent years the
conquered Boer generals had their hab-
itation. At first thought this may
seem an insignificant matter, but, as
It will be presently pointed out in
the house of commons, it means ruin
to the permanent inhabitants of St.
Helena.
The total estimated value of the is
lands wealth is only $1,000, 900, divided
among about 10000 inhabitants. To
keep this wealth productive the garri-
SOD, which in normal times amounts to
nearly 1000 men, has been a most
active factor. This will at once be seen
when it is noted that the imports in
cluding specie, are usually five times
the value of the exports, and that the
expenditure of the island is almost
double the revenue
The presence of the garrison means
the active annual circulation of over
$300.000-just sufficient to keep up the
equilibrium. II this be annihilated the
products sold to the ships entered and
cleared at st. Helena, while possibly
sufficient to keep the population from
actual want, must curtail to a meas
urable degree public expenditures,
and hence the civilization of the is
land, notwithstanding the paltry grant
OF $4,000 annually from the home gov
ernment for education, will inevitably
suffer.

of Annemasse mear Orange). was
murdered in the train by which he
was travelling from Lyons to Orange.
His murderer, a man of 35. named
odier, occupied a third-class car
riage when the train left Lyons. He
quarreled with the other occupant of
the compartment, a gendarme, and at
the next stop the gendarne complained

The guard persuaded Rodier to get
into a-first-cass compartment in the
corridor portion of the train. The other
occupant of this compartment was a
captain of chasseurs, and immediately
after the train had started again Ro-
dler picked a violent quarrel with him.
Rodier drew a revolver and fred sew

with him and tried to wrench the
weapon from his hand.
Nj. Bastin was i'm the next compart- =
ment and he ran to the captains as
sistance armed with a revolver. He
fired several shots at Rodier but missed
and Rodier struggling free from the
captain, turned on NJ. Bastin, shot
him dead and emptied the remaining
chambers of the revolver into the BODY

Special cable % INC Herold.

Special Gable to The Herald.
PARIS, May ia young dress
maker named .Juliette Graneche fired
five shots at a friend of hers, Nine.
Lheriteau, clairvoyant, yesterday
morning. after having accused her of
attempting to injure her by sorcery.
The two women had been very inti-
mate and had studied spiritualism to-
gether. Nine. Lheriteau had shown
her pupil how to bring misfortune upon
an enemy. She burned a small piece
of wax in the shape of a heart, to
represent the soul of the person in
question, in the flame of candle, at
the same time muttering incantations.
She then blew out the flame of the
candle, and from that moment the be-
witched person would never know a
moments peace.
Mile. Graneche had suffered a num-
ber of misfortunes during the last fort
night, and imagined that her friend
had cast her spell over her. She ac-
cused Nine. Lheriteau to her face, and.
after a violent quarrel, shot her,
wounding her very seriously.

GORGEOUS HOTEL
FOR LONDONERS
viii BE Opened on May 26-one Side
of Restaurant Has Look Out on
Green Park and Diners Can
Sit on Terrace
Special Gable to The Herald.

Special Gable to The Herald.
LONDON. May 19.-Still another
great hotel, one of the most magnifi-
cent in the world will soon be ready,
for on May 26 the new Ritz hotel, in
Piccadilly. will open it's doors.
On entering the visitor is faced by a
winter garden, the floor being of pure
marble. The upholstery here and in
the corridors is of cream and green
Genoa velvet which has a very rich
effect.
What viii especially charm the wo-
men in the bedrooms is the skillful way
that cupboards and wardrobes are pro-
vfded for them, and all without losing
any space. The mantel pieces are mar
BILE, some pure white, others a tawny
orange, and a few Of a lovely slate
color, those in the sitting rooms being
not infrequently embellished with
ormolu relief Bathrooms attached to
the various suites of rooms have white
tiles, with decorative frieze introduced
of shaded apple green tiles, which
looks at once cool and artistic.
Naturally every one will be anxious
to see the new restaurant, about which
so much has been said. Those who eX-
pect to find a very large room will be
disappointed. but the proportions are
superb and it will seat about one hun
dred and twenty to one hundred and
thirty people comfortably.
The walls of the room are pale green
and peach blossom marble, with col
umns of the same colored marble on
either side. The carpet Is Aubusson,
costing $1,000 CS5OO0). 1t is Of Louis
XVI design, copied from an old parch-
ment of that period.
One side of the room has a lookout
over a green park, and in the summer
dinners will be served on a terrace that
again gives onto a garden, and 1t will
be the most delightful place for after
dinner coffee. Nothing but silver will
be used in the restaurant and there is
not TO be any band.
