ENGLISH DIVINE FEARS
WE'LL STEAL VIM. PENN

Special Gable to The Herald.
LONDON, July 6.-Some notion of
the fear of American enterprise enter
tained in certain quarters may be
judged from the following amazing let
ter written by DR.. Rendel Harris, one
of the most distinguished Nonconform-
list divines in England, to a London
Young Free Churchman's league on the
occasion of the annual pilgrimage to
PennTs and Miltons country at Jor-
dams and Chalfont. ST. Giles, Buck
inghamshire. He says:
"Be careful not to let the Americans
do any damage If they come with you,
for they have plots laid to unearth
William Penn and exhibit him as a
relic in Philadelphia. This cannot be
permitted They will also want to cart
away the house at Chalfont where ELL
wood tried to teach Milton the doc
trines of Paradise regained.
Don't let the Americans carry that
house off. 1t ought to be government
property. I will buy it myself pres
emily and present it to the Free Church
council"
1t is inferred that DIR. Harris, who is
president of the Free Church council,
the highest honor in the church's gift,
has been reading the adventures of the
duke of the Abruzzi with the souvenir
hunters as recounted here

"RED NOSES" GET GOOD NEWS
FROM SPECIALIST IN BERLIN
Special Cable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald.
/ BERLIN, July 6.-Hope for the "red
nosed" is held out by DR.. Kapp, a Ber-
lin specialist, who has devised a pro-
cess whereby the application Of galvan-
ic current at a certain strength eradi-
Gates nasal erythema," usually after
only one or two treatments of five min
utes each.
DR.. Kapp publishes in the Berliner
Klinische Wochenschrift a report of
thirty-seven topical and absolute cures
of red nose. In cases where small iso-
lated veins were visible he has caused
them to disappear forever by simply
touching them lightly with a micro
thermo cautery needle for moment.
1t is said the needle is so hot that it
does not even give the patient sensa-
ton of warmth but it touches the ar
terry and the redness vanishes.
DR.. Kapp points out that indulgence
in strong liquor is by no means the only
cause for red noses, and says anaemic
girls particularly are liable to such
aff1iction on account of their predispo-
sition to freeze the nasal organ when
skating or through wearing tight fit
ting wells, which press against the nose
on cold day, bringing about a con-
traction Of the muscular tissues upon
the walls of the lesser arteries. This,
he says, leads often to "venous stasis, -
a disease which easily becomes chronic.

GERMAN NOBLEMEN'S SONS
FORM R0BBER BAND
Special Cable to The Herald.

BERLIN, July 6.-Thirty lupils of
the Royal gymnasium here, youths be-
longing to the highest families of Rhen-
ish Prussia and Westphalia, have or
ganized themselves into gang of rob-
bers and have been plundering the
best shops in Essen Of their costliest
wares. The facts only came to light
through a confession of one Of the gang
made to the school priest. No arrest
has been made, as the police are anx-
ious to avoid a scandal and the parents
have offered to compensate the shop
keepers tenfold.
About twenty Of the boys have been
dismissed from the Royal gymnasium
and their parents informed that they
need not hope for a career in Prussia.
The leader of the gang is the son of
wealthy baron boy whose mind be-
came somewhat unhinged by reading
the adventures of a famous thief and
swindler named Manolesca, of Rouman-
ian extraction, whose exploits have been
occupying much space lately in the Ger
man press.
The lads did not steal for profit, but
for excitement. Most of the stolen
articles watches, jewelry, works of art
and wearing apparel-were given to
needy acquaintances.

CIGAR SETS FEATHERS
OF THE CANARY ABLAZE
Special to The Herald.


CLEVELAND, Ohio, July 6.-Its ker-
osene-bathed wings aflame from COM
ing in contact with a burning. cigar
held by it's sleeping owner, a pet
canary this morning flew into the
kitchen in the home Of Patrick Dooley
25O6 Lakeside avenue, and caused an
explosion that wrecked the interior of
the structure. The bird was the pet
of a boarder and he is now trying to
nurse 1t back to health.
The boarder, a foreigner who came
to this country recently, washed the
bird this morning, using kerosene to
kill possible insects. He then placed
it on curtain pole to dry. He lit a
cigar and set watch over his pet, but
before long was asleep. The bird came
off it's perch, lighting upon the cigar
held in its owners fingers:
1t didn't roost there longer than a
second, for it's weight knocked the
Havana to the floor. Still burning, the
cigar set fire to the canary, and it flew
into the kitchen where Mrs. Dooley
was filling the gasoline stove. 1t came
in contact with the gasoline and caused
an explosion that changed the map of
the kitchen. Mrs. Dooley escaped with
slight injuries. The bird will probably
die.

FAMILIES COMBH'E TO
BRING UP CHILDREN
Special Cable to The Herald

ST. PETERSBURG, July 6.-About a
hundred well-to-do families of this city
have dubbed together with the object
of bringing up and educating their 400
children in common, the disturbed con-
djtion of the country having disorgan-
lied the schools. They have hired a
large building, to which they have made
extensive additions. Here the children
assemble and delegations of parents at
tend daily to carry out the program of
instruction. Free course is given to the
chHd's will, no task is imposed, no
punishment is inflicted. The child just
attaches himself to that teacher and
learns that particular branch to which
he is attracted. There is large garden
for the children to play and work in,
and all the domestic arrangements are
carried on inside the institution and
with the cooperation of the children.
The educational authorities have had
their attention directed to this COM
munal system of education, and SO
pleased are they with the progress
made by the pupils that they intend to
offer facilities for extending the sys-
tenn.

pected that scoffers might be encoun-
tered the five snakes were nailed upon

opposed income tax bill, has just de-
vised another means of reducing the
national debt. He has discovered that
government officials invariably use
double sheets of paper for correspond

sheets were used the national finances
would benefit by ten million francs

sent a circular to his colleagues in the
cabinet appealing to them to give or

Special Gable to The Herald.

LONDON, July 6.--A new kind of
athletic exercise is meeting with great
favor among society people here 1t
consists in walking for about half an
hour every morning on ones hands and
feet-on all fours. The practice is as
cribed to the recent assertion of a well
known physician that quadruped ami
mails are less subject to Ills than bipeds,
and that a continuous standing pos
ture prevents the full development of
certain muscles and sinews.
Some of the gentlemen who have
tried the new exercise say it is i'm
mensely beneficial and it Is even pre-
dicted that soon on the lawns of coun-
try houses will be seen serious looking
gentlemen walking on all fours on the
grass.

ToNiGHT'S THE TIME!

When Astoria gets itself together
tonight at the Astoria theatre and
summarizes her real status. most peo-
pie win be surprised at the scope of
favorable conditions that belong TO her
OF right, and the only marvel will arise
from contemplation of the fact that
she has temporized so long with OPP
portunities instantly and always avail
able. overweening, outside influences
have done much to retard and dis
courage her; she is not wholly to-
blame for her denial of benefits that
should have been wrought long ago.
Now she is to scan her own field, do her
own work, start on her own initiative,
compel recognition and enforce her
own ends. She lacks nothing by way
of natural and legal predicate; she
has everything to win out on, II she
will but take snap judgment and de-
mand instead of ask.
Organization is the first needful
thing; after that comes the real work.
Once banded in a common purpose,
the essential requisites may be pro-
grammed in importance and sequence,
and put into the hands of live COM
mittees. Abandon red-tape, chuck
diffidence, scout all interference, turn
down the temporizers, put up bold,
honest, defiant front, and go after re-
suits. 1t has been done in other
places that lacked half the natural,
commercial advantages we possess. 1t
can be done here, and what Is more,
It will be.
The man in Astoria vino deprecates
this policy of aggressive, strong-hand-
ed acquisition Of things that belong
to US, will do well to keep mum on
the subject, and let the real acquis-
five spirit of the community have
full play for while. Come out, ev-
erybody and come shouting for AS
