BERLIN, July 6.-Emperor William
has been using the telephone so dill
gently since he found it a quick and
easy method of communication that he
says he has forgotten how to Write a
letter, and expects that soon he Will
have forgotten how to dictate one.
Recently the emperor has had his
special telephone service enlarged and
improved. Not so long ago one wire
was enough; a wire to enable him to
talk with the empress. But he soon
saw what an enormous amount of time
telephone saves and had wires to con-
meet him with the principal ministers.
Then he gradually had the wires ex-
tended, until now he is In direct verbal
communication with all the army corps
commanders and the admirals at Kiel
and Wilhelmshaven.
But nobody dares ring the emperor up
except the chancellor of the empire, the
chief of the civil cabinet and the chief
of the general staff.
When the emperor calls anybody up
he does not say, "This is the kaiser"
He simply gives orders and leaves 1t to
the person at the other end of the wire
to guess who is talking, judging from
the voice and from the nature of what
is said. The telephone is in his work
ing room and is an elaborately orna-
mented affair, which nobody except the
emperor is allowed to touch.
A learned antiquarian who had just
returned from exploring the ruins of
Babylon was summoned before the en-
peror to report what he found. In the
conversation the archaeologist remarked
that the ancient Babylonians appear to
have put all their writing on soft bricks,
which then were dried in the sun. Most
of the inscriptions, he added, have been
deciphered, but few have defied every
scholar to translate them.
Perhaps" suggested Emperor Will

NEW YORK. July 6.-Mrs. Catherine
Mace, an elderly woman of Avenue G
and Ninety-second street, Canarsie,
sold a strip of land yesterday and
started for Borough square, Brooklyn,
to bank $4,000, which she carried in
bills in a satchel.
AS she was crossing Joralemon street,
which is torn up for the new tunnel,
she stumbled and fell and the precious
satchel burst open The rolls of paper
money chased each other down an en-
bankment. Many of them broke open
and the wind that plays pranks about
the borough hall caught up the bills
and scattered them to the four winds.
Laborers, newsboys and passersby
scrambled and fought with each other
for the possession of the cash. Mrs.
Mace had sprained her ankle and when
she tried to arise she fell back She
called for help. crying to the struggling
crowd to give her her money. Patrol
man John O'Reilly of the Adams street
station saved the day. He sprang into
the croad and ordered every person
who had any OF the money to deliver it.
Strange to say, not bill was lost.
O'Reilly helped the ruffled Mrs, Mace
count the money and not a dollar was
missing. She was placed in cab and
driven to her bank, where the teller
waited on her from the sidewalk, as she

CHARLES FROHMAN HELD
CAPTIVE IN ELEVATOR

Special Gable to The Herald.
LONDON, July 6.-Charles Frohnan
had the experience of being kept d
prisoner for more than an hour IN
cell-like chamber in Hlcks theater a. st.a' ~
morning while on his way to his office.
IT was, as he put it, the first time he
had been arrested and confined In Eng
land. 1t all happened through, or.
rather. in a lift, which started merrlly
inward with the dramatic manager
and then baked at the wrong moment.
The lift is one of those automatic at
fairs to work which you enter, press
button and stand a chance of being
delivered at your destination. Mr..
Frohman was in his usual hurry to get
to work. Reaching the theater, he en-
tered the elevator, banged the door,
pressed the button and up shot the
car past the first and second floors, but
before it reached the third it came 20
Sudden stop.
Mr.. Frohman pressed the button Wig
orously again, but the car wouldn't
bulge. The lift shaft is built of solid
brick, with openings only at the differ
ent floors. The car being large enough
for only two or three persons, Mr..
Frohman became uncomfortable. He
banged on the wall Of the shaft with
an energy that was rather heating.
He soon laid aside, first, his hat, then
MS OVGTCOdl, COdJ anu WoioSSO@S'
1t was fully a Quarter Of an hour be-
fore anybody's attention was attracted.
In that time Mr.. Frohman's cigar went
out and The couldn't find match.
Finally a chorus of voices was heard
from the floor above. They were those
of Mr.. Frohmans typewriter girls, who
shrieked with dismay when they found
their employer was for once out of
reach Of dictation.
"Get the electrician" called Mr.
Frohman, without adjectives and in
the cheeriest tone.
In two minutes the shaft door below
opened. Then came chorus from the
scene shifters and office boys.
"The electrician has gone out for his
'arf an 'arf."
So the manager stood and thought
sadly Of the frailties of electricians in
general and two of his in particular.
Three quarters of an hour passed be-
fore another shout went up. The
thirsty electrician had returned. There
was a brief instant of uncertainty,
then the lift moved and continued its
upward course.
Mr.. Frohman stepped out and was
congratulated by the entire office force.
He was apparently quite content,
though still a trif1e warm, for in the
dim recesses of the shaft he had found
an idea, which will probably be i'm
parted to Mr.. Barrie or Mr.. Pinero, the
playwrights.

AMERICAN WALK
IS NOW THE RAGE
LONDON ADOPTING NEW MODE
OF PROGRESSION
Swift Glide Which Makes Figure Look
Long and as II Swayed by Wind
Now Correct In the
Swell Set
ecial Cable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald.
LONDON, July 6.-Certain OF the
London papers have entered upon SER
ious discussion of the new style of wall
which society women are adopting. 1t
is called the american walk" and Is
declared the most beautiful of all ways
of walking. In fact, so popular ,s IL pc
coming that some we'll known leaders or
society are taking lessons in 1t from
dancing masters.
The tiny mincing steps of French
women and the long, manly strides or
English women are no longer goou
form. The tall walk" as the new
fashion is also called, requires tan
figure. or. if the walker be short, she
must as least be slender and hold her-
self exceedingly upright. ,,,,f
Last seasons walk was the Plccaollly
walk. 1t was walk that was almost
stride The skirts were short ana fasn-
ionable women, taking big steps,
showed their shoes and ankles. 1t may
have been considered graceful, but 1t
was not feminine.
This new walk is said to have been
imported from America. 1t does not
force the woman to take long strides
nor does it necessarily show her shoes.
AS described by dancing master, who
takes credit himself of having improved
or perfected the importation, the new
straight walk forces a woman to stand
perfectly erect and carry her shoulders
squarely. A..
It is a swift glide and makes the
figure look long, as If swaying IN the
wind 1t gives one the idea of yacht
in a breeze. A good walker stands
erect, takes a step, sways ever SO little
in the wind and then, without dipping
her head, sails straight ahead, keeping
her upright position.

DRESS REHEARSALS FOR
PRESENTATION AT COURT
Special Cable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald.
LONDON, July GA court dress re-
hearsal is one of the most necessary
ton The ladies who make their first
curtsy to their king will do so in the
assurance that every movement ano
gesture Is correct If they have beer
prepared by some experienced teacher
A representative visited the Cour'
| School of Dancing and Department II
Albemarle street yesterday, where the
principal explained the study of fin
ished presentation.
"Old customs give place to new,'
Miss Vincent said. 1.-THE teacher OF
departments task is much lighter than
it was twenty years ago, as these Gus
toms are less ceremonious.
"In the reign of Queen Victoria the
debutante had to rehearse the removal
of her glove, the entry to the throne
room, the curtsy and kissing the queens
hand, the graduated curtsies to each
of the royal family, and retiring back
ward with her train. Today only two
curtsies are necessary, one to the king
and one to the queen. The debutante
then passes straight on to the supper
room.
"In spite of the fact that there is not
so much to learn, make it a rule to
instruct my pupils in various small de-
tails which will insure the ordeal being
passed through with courage, grace and
simplicity.
IT have arranged certain exercises
which are particularly successful In
imparting a dignified carriage and po-
etic movements. One of the most
beautiful of these is the old Spanish
dance which illustrates that we'll known
quotation, the rose in the hand in the
sweet saraband'
Fan exercises and Spanish move
ments are also taught, and these ex-
ercises lend themselves to imparting
gracefulness to the figure.
"The debutante is taught every stage
of her presentation, from presenting
her card and curtsying to their majes-
ties to the art of receiving her long
train on her arm again as she leaves
the presence chamber"
A court dress rehearsal was then wit
messed in Miss Vincents drawing
rooms, which are decorated in shades
of apple-green and white. The floor
was polished, and shining like mirror,
and then the charming procession of
snowy-cled debutantes went through
the imaginary ceremony of the most
important event of their Coming out"
until perfect and assured. In turn
they passed gracefully throught the diff
ferent stages of the "call to enter"
giving the name" curtsying to their
majesties and leaving the presence
chamber.

FREAK WEDDINGS ARE
DENOUNCED BY CHURCH
snec,al Cable to The Herald.

LONDON, July 6.-"The growing
practice of turning weddings into fancy
dress performances and raree-shows
should be discouraged by the author
tiles" says the Church Times.
1--WE continually read of proceedings
which are quite unfit for religious
function and church" continues the
newspaper, and 1t quotes the recent
case of an Exeter lady who was fol-
lowed to the altar by her large white
bulldog, sporting wedding favors!
On the same day comes news of a
Brooklyn wedding party, at which the
happy couple, 500 guests, and the min
lister were all mounted on roller skates,
and the nuptial knot was tied in a skat-
ing rink to the strains of waiting at
the Chucrh."
A representative who recently made
tour of the fashionable churches Of
London found that, while incidents such
as these are rare, yet many weddings
nowadays are regarded more from the
spectacular than the religious point of
view.
Many London ministers deplore this
growing love of display and sensation
at up-to-date weddings, and wherever
possible put in a plea for a return to
simpler fashions.
Father Bernard Vaughan, whose out
spoken criticisms of the smart set''
have futtered Mayfair society, strongly
expressed his disapproval.
MANY people are in danger of over
looking the sacred nature of the con-
tract into which they enter at the altar
rails" said Father Vaughan.
Nowadays people may be found who
appear ready to do anything however
far-fetched and ridiculous, in their
search for a new sensation.
1T Is the desire to be noticed, talked
about and envied that leads to such ex-
cess in display, and causes such ridicu-
lous conduct"
At st. Georges, Hanover square,
where so many fashionable marriages
are solemnized, the minister in charge
said: I'VE do not permit anything but
what is we'll ordered and decent at we'd
dings at st. Georges.
1T is true that there is display at
some weddings, but do not think that
there is any more fuss and fashion now
than in the past.
"At one wedding at st. Georges it was
suggested that we should allow bioscope
pictures of the ceremony to be taken,
but of course we refused any such per-
mission"
AT other west end churches the same
answer was returned, and the bad ex-
ample set by Exeter and Brooklyn was
sternly denounced.

OSCAR TO DIRECT
OPERA IN LONDON
Special Gable to The Herald.

SDeCldl CaDlS " 1 llS IlSidlus
LONDON, July 6.-Oscar Hammer
stein, the American impresario, may
continue his meteoric career on both
sides of the ocean. Before he sailed
he gave hits of pending plans
for a great London opera house where
he may repeat the history of the New
York Manhattan.
'It has been hitherto supposed" said
Mr.. Hammerstein, that opera appeals
only to the highest CLASSES of society.
Architects who design great opera
houses invariably make allowances
first, not for the acoustics, not for the
stage or the scenery, but for the dis
play of magnificent garments and dia-
monds that represent fortunes.
IT have in my mind almost completed
the scheme for an opera house in Lon
don for the middle classes. No existing
house could be adapted to the purpose,
and the money is ready. So when 1
come here in the late autumn l shall
be able to give full details of the idea.
When the English masses have been
educated to appreciate grand opera, be-
ginning with the old melodious italian
school and gradually bringing them on
to Wagner and some of the newer conf
positions, they will contract the fas-
cinating disease of opera going and the
music halls will begin to decline in
popularity.
Opera going is one of the greatest
educational features of modern life. /

success. A pessimist always fails"

ARTIFICIAL FEET FOR

LONDON, July 6.-By a marvellous
piece of surgery Miss Dot Stephens, the
we'll known music hall artist, VIII be
enabled to appear in July at Her Ma
jesty's theater, Walsall-the town she
left one day last October to meet with
a terrible accident on the railway.
Miss Stephens, who was under long
engagement on the Moss-Stoll tours,
was travelling in a corridor coach en-
route for Glasgow. when she fell
through one of the doors and was
hurled on the track passing train
crushed both her feet leaving only the
heel of the left foot and the large toe
of the right intact.
She was taken to the general hospital
at Wolverhampton, where DR.. Dent
amputated the crushed portions or the
feet. Miss Stephens face and head were
also very much injured and her left
arm was badly cut.
Mr. Stoll, Mr.. Bannister Howard and
Mr.. Lennon gave benefit matinees and
arranged cricket matches for her, and
certainly not one of her friends imag-
ined that she would ever be able to
work" again; but the Wolverhampton
hospital staff were not to be beaten,
and she was fitted with artificial feet
(at a. cost of 9200) so wonderfully made
as entirely to escape detection.
A representative found Miss Ste
phens, who bears a striking resem-
blance to Miss Edna Nay, at her home
There is not a trace of scar on her
face. and the feet which peeped from
under the long skirt were as dainty and
''real" as possible.
"I can walk couple of miles with
out any fatigue and without the aid OF
stick" she said laughingly. I'm fact,
I walked all over the Earl's court ex-
hibition the other night.
