BERLIN, July 30.-A somewhat singular
trial, in which one of the most ancient aris-
tocratic families of Germany is involved
has of late been engaging public attention.
Hereditary Count Erasmus gu Erbach-Er-
bach married last year in London pretty
girl, named Dorothea Fischer, daughter of
his washerwoman. They had good time
in England, but on their return to Ger
many Count Erasmus father and other
members of the family decided that, If they
could not obtain the annulment Of the mar
riage the count must be disinherited, and
that the millions to which he was entitled
must go to the next nearest of kin. With
this purpose in view they procured medical
opinion to the effect that Count Erasmus
was OF infirm mind.
Evidently the count was OF the same
opinion. for he permitted himself to be re-
moved to a sanatorium in Oberursel. where
he still remains. Countess Dorothea was
cashiered with monthly allowance of 500
This sum she deemed altogether insufficient.
especially as she and her husband had been
living at the rate of $4,000 a year, on
credit. of course She therefore brought
an action against her father-in-law to

out that IL the marriage was not an

The next stage in these curious proceedings
will be an action for the dissolution of the
marriage on the ground that when 1t was
contracted Count Erasmus was non cOmpos

CONSTANTINOPLE, July 30.-The influx
of Jews into Palestine during the last few
months has been remarkable.
Some weeks ago about 5000 Jewish immi-
grants from Russia and the Balkan states
landed at Jaffa. They are settling In the
plain of Sharon, round the towns Of RAM
len and LYDIA, and in other Jewish col
onies along the sea coast
A few days ago some Jewish fnanciers
made trip to the region east of the Jor-
dan, In the direction of Kerak They
saw the land, and were highly satisfied with
its fertility and the nature of its soil. They
are willing to colonize the district but are
rather suspicious of the nelghboring
Bedoufn tribes, who are averse to any per-
manent settlement being affected in their
midst
1t Is believed that the Jews are in commu-
nication with the government on the SUBJ
tect. and should the latter give them suf-
icient guarantee of protection against the
raids of their neighbors the sale OF large
tracts will soon be completed.
II Is noteworthy fact that some of the
most fertile districts of Palestine are pos
sessed by Jewish colonists. The Jews are
repossessing the land by degrees, and
should this quick rate of possession con-
tinue, the whole country will In a few years

NEW CAMP AN|LE
is CRITICISED

Special Cablegram TO The Star
VENICE, July 3o-7Serious doubts have
been raised concerning the methods fol-
lowed in rebuilding the fam gus campanile.
especially with regard to the five large
steps at the base. now all above ground.
while before two and half had gradually
become entirely covered. The college of
Venetian engineers, presided over by Sig
nor Romanin Jacur, ex-minister. appointed
committee to study the question and re-
port on it. In the report which has now
been presented the committee say they
have especially inquired "if the work pro-
ceeds. and promises to proceed. according
to the sentiment and wishes OF Venice"
which can be summarized as follows:
That the campanile must stand where it
was, and as 1T was, In order that the his
toric tower may harmonize as it did before
with that sublime artistic center which Is
the piazza of San Marco. Therefore. no
line nor any detail outside or inside the
campanile should be changed IL would

a modern appearance. The report. how

the five steps above mentioned. which have
also the fault of being differently cut from
the originals. The new ones are polished,
placed with geometrical regularity, and all
perfectly even in height and width. while
the ancient ones We're purposely irregular
and rough, producing an artistic effect
The conclusion OF the report Is rather Sc

the new campanile will not respond
