FOR DAN CUPID

BERLIN, March 2.-The Countess

title. wealth and a high position in
Berlin society for love Of penniless
secretary, whom she has married
against her fathers wishes.
The countess father is Prince Philip
zu Gutenberg. the Kaiser's favOrite
courtIer- and it was with great reluct-
ance that he at last gave his consent TO
his daughters marriage with his former
secretary. Emil JOraliineks who is a
Roumanian of common birth.
The countess romance began at her
fathers country house, where she met
JoraIinek. She took opportunities for
secret meetings with her lover. and
when they had made up their minds TO
marry, she sought her fathers consent
to the unequal match.
After sterniy opposing the marriage,
Prince Philip at last gave way. He
granted his son-in-law a small income
on condition that he took his wife to
settle in some distant place and hold
no communication with the sprincely
family
Countess no longer. but simply Frau
JoraIIinek. the daughter of Prince Zu
Gutenberg has gone to live with her
pIebein husband far from the gay So
ciety she was born into and will have
to practice economy.

OFFERS A MILLION
FOR HIS DAUGHTER

DETROIT, Mich, March 2-would
you be willing TO give $1,OOO.OOO in cold
cash Of you had iD for a daughter?
One man would and. in fact. has
offered to do it.
The man is Merrill Beecher Mills, the
millionaire yachtsman and stove manu-
facturer of Detroit, who is suing his
wife. formerly Miss Eddy, of Saginaw.
for divorce
The little girl is Cynthia Mills, an only
child. She is six years old.
Half a dozen lawyers are now taking
dispositions in the divorce proceedings in
Asheville, n. c., where Mrs. Mills and
the little girl are temporarily staying.
The offer of 81 100000 for the girl was
made to Mrs. Mills on behalf of Mills,
by the husbands lawyers.
And the mother rejected the offer with
Scorn.
I'D sooner see the child dead" she
said.
Mrs. Mills who is wealthy in her own
right, is suing Mills on a cross bill for
$200,00 alimony and custody of the little
girl.

New Picture Lighting.

frightened light and intensified
shadow are obtained for paintings
with a device reported by Prof. r.
w. Wood, of the Johns Hopkins
faculty. The effect, according To his
description in "The Scientific Ameri-
can" is like that of nature and gives
the fat canvas the luminosity and
depth of the open air.
The method is simple-of course.
\ lantern slide is made of the pic
ture itself. That negative is then
placed in a stereopticon so that the
clear light of the lantern is shut off
from the shadows and shed in shin
ing brilliancy on the high lights.
I'VE feel at once the writer says,
that here for the first time we are
looking at a picture in which the
enormous luminosity contrasts of
nature are really approached" He
goes on:
If after looking at the picture iIlum-
mated I'm this way for a few minutes,
we remove lne Sllde from the lantern
allowing a uniform illumination 10 fall
upon il, we feel a decided shock The
picture looks as If ii had not been busted
for ten years. the sunlight leaves il and
everything looks fiat. As we become ac-
custOmed once more TO the usual il
Elimination, the appearance Of the pic
tuTe gradually improves
Interesting as all this is, Prof.
Wood believes that the method is
Of little practical Importance. In
an exhibit each picture would re-
quire separate illumination, and
there are few collectors with means
and enthusiasm enough to maintain
stereopticons all about their gal
leries.
Yet the invention, like most in
ventions, may have utility neverthe-
less. Prof. Wood senses it when he
says: Very likely scenic effects on
the stage could be frightened by
employing this method of illumina-
tion or some modification of it," As
a matter of fact, if it meets the test
of the enterprising stage manager it
is certain to be so employed. Natu-
ralism is the key to modern theatri-
cal production. Drops, flats, out of
door settings of every sort, all now
require the-eXercise of undue imagi-
nation on the part of the spectator.
If they can be made livelier, if the
effect of open air can be heightened
by Prof. Woods device, the average
theatrical entrepeneur will seize il
| eagerly.

PadrOneS and Others.

a determined effort is To be made
by the Federal Government to break
up the operations of certain pa
drones who for several years have
been engaged in the traffic of inn
porting Greek boys who are held
for long periods in what amounts
to absolute slavery. This is excel

The governors of several States,
the mayors of many large cities, and
other persons have filed complaints
with the Secretary of Commerce and
Labor that have resulted in an order
calling for thorough Investigation

SEA MARRIAGES
DECLARED LEGAL

SAN PEDRO, Cal, March "A test of
the legality of marriage at sea was set
tied at Portland by United States AttOr-
ney Bristol, acting in the case OF Carl
John Beckman, a former San Pedran
well known here. and Miss Nettie An
derson, of Portland. who were married
by Captain Mcclellan, of the steamer
F. A. Kilbrn, going from San Fran
cisco to Portland.
When the couple arrived at port the
groom took the marriage certificate to
the county recorder for filing, and he
refused it. claiming that he had no legal
right to record a marriage of that kind.
Attorney Bristol was appealed to and
he decided that the marriage was legal
and that the certificate should be re-
corded, which was done.

Not BattIeShipS-ShOyels.

"No Discrimination" is the head
ing of a sturdy protest in the New
York Sun against having two parties
of Congressman visit the Isthmian
Canal works like ordinary visitors.
They are ''the final judges of what
shall be done there" and the people
of both Republics should be i'm
pressed with their dignity. Where
fore the Sun would have them trans
ported by fleet of, at least, three
battleships, attended by at least six
cruisers The 'scandaI"-that is the
word the Sun uses-Iies not in the
going but in the manner of it; for
the Sun thinks it -eminently desir-
able" these Senators and Represen-
tatives should acquaint themselves
with Isthmian conditions"
Battleships, cruisers, Senators, and
Representatives do not compose the
means which shall inform and inn
press the people of the two Repub-
lies. Digging dirt and expert re-
ports on the celebrity OF the digging
are the means of doing that This
country, in particular, has no time
for the playing of hands and maneu-
vering of holiday fleets, even at the
behest of the New York Sun. 1t
has fixed now on one resultant
one result alone-engineering work
done by American engineers.

The MOther-in-LaW Element.

An astonishing discovery has been
made by the president of the Tele-
phone Reform Association, of Mas
sachusetts, regarding the close con-
nection between telephone rates and
mothers-in-Iaw. This gentleman has
asserted in an address that a large
part of the objection to certain new
telephone rates was based on the
fact that many of the subscribers
would 5e deprived of free talk with
their wife's relations.
perhaps" said he, "they think it
is better to have their mothers-in-
law talk to them over the telephone
than to have them at closer quar-
ters, through inability to tele-
phone"
That thought opens up a vast field
of speculation. How many men who
put telephones in their houses really
do so 10 keep their wives near rela-
tives away? What part do the tele-
phone companies play in this matri-
monial diplomacy? Is a mother-in-
law really content to depend upon
the phone when she might come
over and personally harry her
daughters totally unworthy hus-
band?
We wish the Concord School of
Philosophy were yet in existence.
