civilization has not had a salutary et-

LONDON, March 24.-One of the
most remarkable prosecutions for
cruelty to animals ever undertaken by

although there was plenty of hay on
the premises, none had been supplied
to the animals for the past five days.
They had become skeletons Some of
the sheep lay dead in the fields. and
some of the hens had died in the barn,
those which survived having eaten por-

The cowsheds pigsties and other
buildings were in an indescribably
filthy state, owing to the neglected
condition of their inmates
The police at once released the an
imals, and provided them with food,
which they devoured ravenously.
When the police sergeant attempted
to enter a pigsty, one of the women
rushed at him with a broomstick. A
struggle ensued, and the sergeant

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE READ OUT
English Rector Says Faith Curists
Have no Standing in Anglican
Church
Special Cable to The Herald.

Special Cable to Ihe Herald.
LONDON, March 24-The announce
ment that lecture on Christian
Science was delivered in Holy Trinity
Church hall, Sloane square, last Tues
day, has created criticism of the rec
tor of the church, Rev. H. r. Gamble,
whose view of Christian Science is that,
while there is a great deal in it that
a churchman can accept, it is impos-
sible for a man to be a Christian
Scientist and a member of the Angli-
can church.
Archdeacon Sinclair said in answer
to a question as to the Church of Eng
lands relationship to Christian Science
that he had recently preached a SER
mon on that subject in which he point
ed out that Christian Science under
appearance of an agreement with
Christianity was really full of deadly
perversions. There was one good point
in the doctrine, and that was the IN
sistence on the power of faith.
A new religious sect, the Millennial
Dawnists, has been formed in Wharfe-
dale. Yorkshire. The adherents believe
that man will not be endowed with
soul until the general resurrection,
which is timed for 1915.

EMPIRE STLYE RULES FASHION
Rue de la Paix, Where the "creations"
Come From, Is Given Over
to latest Craze
Special Cable to The Herald.

Special Gable to The Herald.
PARIS, March 24.-The heads and
hands of the Rue de la Paix have been
at work during the long, dull days Of
the winter on the daintiest taffetas and
mousselines designated in advance by
fashion experts Now the realization
is in sight with an array of empire
princess corselet styles. Boleros, tailor
costumes, and even sunshades have
been smitten by the empire style. There
are dainty little sunshade creations
with a wide fiounce of lace gathered
at the top and descending over the
border also with founce. They are
too slender for the promenade or even
for autos, which didn't exist in em-
pre days, but "the thing" for carriage
or the races. 1t has been recently no
ticed in Paris that the new dress
styles made for American custom
cause more women to turn their heads
for a close scrutiny than those de-
signed specially for Parisiennes. This
is particularly the case with tailor
costumes, fancy boleros, and short
walking skirts.

Complains of Usher
special Cable to The Herald.

MONTE CARLO, March 24.-W. K.
Vanderbilt, jr., who has money to buy
the Casino, is telling the amazing story
of how he was twice turned down" by
the ushers at the entrance to the gam
bling room during his present visit.
On the afternoon he arrived here from
his motor trip (Which was marked by
an incident so unpleasant in italy, he
presented himself at the gambling room
door. One of the half dozen polite,
black-coated, black-cravatted French
men who guard the entrance and scru-
tinize visitors, raised a deprecatory
hand and said: Monsieur cannot
enter"
"Why?" exclaimed Mr. Vanderbilt,
greatly surprised.
The courteous Frenchman pointed to
the young milionaires collar. 1t was
not white. but had the faint colored
pattern on it that his shirt had. Said
the Cerberus of this particular hall:
mo one can enter here unless he
wears a white collar"
Young Mr. Vanderbilt protested, but
he was bowed aside. He went to the
office, and, being nettled, asked the
chief for redress.
'I regret to say that the objection is
quite an order" said the chief, bowling
low. 1.-The rule is ineXorabe."
So Willie K, jr., had to go to his
hotel and put on a white collar. Then
he walked past the ushers.
1.-THE whole thing was ridiculous"
said young Mr.. Vanderbilt, telling
about 1t. But what mortified me be-
yond words was the patronizing air of
approval with which the doorkeeper
said: 'Ah! Monsieur's costume now is
quite proper"
Again, soon afterward, having been
for a walk In the rain one afternoon,
Mr.. Vanderbilt went to the same door.
Another usher said
Pardon, monsieur cannot enter.
Monsieur's trousers are turned up
Willie K. jr., looked down; his trous-
ers were turned up. What the -
is the difference?"
Monsieur must know that coins
sometimes fall from the tables" OBJ
served the doorkeeper, with elaborate
politeness, land they might get caught
in the turned-up end of monsieur
pantaloons."
So Mr.. Vanderbilt submissively turned
down his trousers ends, for he had nc
design really on any money that might
roll off the table.

LONDON, March 24.-There were
enough open air courtships in the Lon
don parks yesterday to justify the sus-
picion that spring had arrived. The
sun also shone steadily, but that was
a mere detail.
The meteorological office may be
playing huge practical joke, and have
blizzard in reserve, but the confiding
public gladly accepted the signs of the
moment and spent the day in the fresh
air. 1t was well-nigh perfect day
and the parks were crowded.
Invalids emerged from their winter
retreats and Joined the noble army of
bath chairs. Decrepit old gentlemen
tottered up and down the broad walk,
assuring each other that the sun was
quite warm" Small boys lined the
banks of the Serpentine and gazed
longingly at the water while there
were unmistakable signs on every
hand that the season of outdoor court
ships was in full swing.
Various spring flowers took the
weather on trust and exhibited them
selves as evidences of good faith. There
were crocuses and primroses and
polyanthuses in plenty. and it was ru-
mored in Hyde park that given a little
further encouragement, the members of
the daffodil, narcissus and hyacinth
families would speedily make their
debut.
Two Straw Hats
At least two men were brave enough
TO don straw hats. One was greeted
with satirical cheers as he alighted
from southeastern train at Chatham:
the other created an equal sensation as
he tried to stroll through st. James
park with a jaunty air Dainty spring
costumes were plentiful and the scene
between the Marble arch and Hyde
Park corner was CHEEKY with color.
Forewarned by the dry bright
weather. many people Joined the week
end throng. 1t was an ideal day for the
seaside as we'll as the country.
More motor cars were seen going
from London than on any other day
for the past six months. All the old inns
along the main roads did a thriving
business and many of them being un-
prepared for the rush we're perforce
obliged to serve cold viands.
Motor traps became fashionable
again and the demand for petrol and
lubricatng oil caused corner in these
necessaries at many inland places.
1t Is estimated that over 500 motor
cars passed through Brentford along
the Bath road.
The ubiquitous cyclist was out in
full force.
Rush to the River
Thousands of people visited Kew
gardens, Richmond and Hampton
court and the extra cars placed on the
London United tramways were filled
to their utmost canacity.
Proprietors of river hotels and restau-
rants did heavy business and num-
Der of boats were out. A few ladies
were courageous enough to appear in
white dresses.
The temperature in London rose
fifty-eight degrees. The lowest tenn
perature in the United Kingdom was
at Holyhead, where the thermometer
registered forty-six degrees.
In the meantime the physicians say
that fine days will bring the inevitable
grist to their mill in the form of thou
sands Of colds which will have to be
cured.
1t was one degree warmer in London
yesterday than In Biarritz.
