Berlin. June S.-"Great Britain IS afraid of showing the world in gen eral and Germany in particular how weak and utterly worthless is a great part of her much praised navy. says Count Ernest Reventlow. the famous German naval critic. In an article which has created an enormous sensa- tion here. And for that reason the British Government has very wisely i decided not to have any naval manoeu- vres."
 "As a consequence of recent naval manoeuvres" the Count writes, the British Admiralty was forced to send scores of cruisers. which had figured on the active list, to the kyles Of Bute. because 1t had been made clear to all that they were about as fit to go into battle as the Czar's Baltic Sauaoroh was to fight the Mikado's ironclads.
 'The days when Britannia ruled the waves are drawing to an end and no one needs fear the once formidable British lion"
 "England still has an overwhelmins- 1y large navy on paper. but she oares do nothing more this ySar in the way of naval display than to send part or her home fleet on a show cruise around the British Isles. because most or the ships are sadly in need of repair. AS long as they are not subjected 10 any severe strain they appear to be all right, but at the first attempt to put

Some very curious stories are being related in Paris as to the eccentricities of NJ. Edmond Rostand, the famous poet and author of L'Aiglon. His utter indifference to the consequences of whether he works or not may be caused by the bad state of his health, but the rumors of a few years ago as to his mental condition are also being revived.

Evidence of Tariff Progress.

The New York Journal of Commerce.
 The manufacturing interests of the country are not standing pat, but are recognizing changed conditions and new necessities calling imperatively for readjustment of our tariff policy. Ther" Is evidence of a strong tendency to- ward a more rational and logical pro tectionism, though certain fundamen- tai fallacies are still adhered to. These men are calling for high minded. non partisan action" which would bring about the gradual, intelligent re- vision of the tariff without disturbance of business conditions" There Is in all ths gratifying evidence of progress on the part of those who heretofore have been rather indiscriminate in their demands and blind to any inter ests but their own.

I had had the jim jams previously and was in fair way of having them again, but you brought me around all right, and today l am a happy man. At home, my friends are awfully proud of me. and everybody shows an inclination to help fellow who will do right when he Is placed in a condition to do so by your wonderful cure for that indescrbable appetite for whiskey and drugs which dominates the man who tampers with them.
 "I not only do not feel a hesitancy about giving my testimonial. but I am actually glad to acknowledge that you have accomplished that which l. as well as all other whiskey drinkers, believed could not be accomplished, viz; re- move the thirst. desire and necessity for whiskey. I am also pleased to avail myself of this opportunity of let ting those who may not already Know it. that I am cured and that I am lead ing a very much happier and far more satisfactory life, remain. sir, most gratefully yours

Annunxio VIII Lecture.

Signor Gabrielle d Annunzio, who a short while ago refused an engagement in South America for a paltry box ot cigars G 1S,000 dollars for eighteen representations, has succumbed to the tempting bait offered him by another American impresario-namely, fifty thousand dollars for a series of lec- lures.

 When the opera was performed some years ago in Berlin the Kaiser declar- ed that, although it was masterpiece, if might be easily improved. He made suggestions on the subject to Baron von Hulsen. director of the opera house, and to Major Lauffer, dramatist-ln-or- dinary to the Kaiser.
 The three then put their heads to- gether and managed to evolve re- vised version of "Oberon." This was performed for the first time at Wles- baden, and the Kaiser was gratihed to hear the loyal appreciation with which 1t was received.
