KARL Haul FOUND
GUILTY OF MURDER
CONDEMNED TO DEATH FOR KILL.
ING HIS MoTHERIN-LAW.
HEARS VERDICT CALMLY
Rlotous Mobs Make Demonstration In
His Favor and Against .Molltor
FamiIy-DIspersed by
Infantry.

Karlsruhe, Germany, July 23.-Karl
Hau, brilliant young law professor,
of Washington, d. G., was condemned
to death Tuesday morning after a five
days trial for the murder of his wife.
Frau Molitor, q wealthy resident of
Baden Baden, in that city November 6
last. ".m.t
The prisoner heard the verdict of
the Jury with perfect composure and
chatted smilingly with his counsel
after the judges withdrew to fix his
sentence. Upon the return of the
judges, Hau arose and standing erect
with folded arms, listened to the SEN
tence without moving a muscle. A
moment later hewas hurried away to
prison by halfsa dozen policemen. The
sentence is unpopular with the street
crowds, which have been demonstrate
ing more and more openly for several
days In Hau's favor and against the
Molitor family.
Riotous Crowds Are for Hau.
After the adjournment of the court
foS an hours recess at eight o'clock
Monday evening. the women of the
Molitor party were compelled to re.
main in the house of one of the off,
GERS of the court because it was dan
gerous to appear in the streets. A
carriage waited for them in the court
yard and it was several hours before
they were able to leave Meanwhile,
enormous crowds had assembled in
the streets adjacent to the courthouse.
Cordons of police kept the crowds
in check for an hour or more, but then
lost control Of them, the masses push
ing and crushing forward to the doors
with the evident intention of storming
tho entrance.aim
I There were many shouts from the
crowd Of ''Hau is not guilty" the
voices penetrating to the courtroom.
Soldiers Dispense Mob.
The companies of infantry and a
squadron of mounted police appeared
on the scene and drove the rioters be-
fore them. The infantry with fixed
bayonets cleared,sll the streets within
500 yards of the, courthouse. 20. "
A large number Of arrests were
made. One old woman was trampled
down by the horses, and it is reported
that several persons were wounded.
The demonstration IN favor of Hau
appears to be due largely to the same
maudlin sentiment which has made a
hero out of many another accused of
a daring crime. To the unthinking
people, Hans daring trip to Baden
Baden made him appear hero. An
other reason for the demonstrations
that have taken place in the last few
days appeared in the statos attorneys
manner of conducting the prosecution,
and It is further explained by citizens
that the Molitors are unpopular in
Karlsruhe.

.SHOPNEN OF THE ORIENT
REALLY ENJOY HAGGLING

To achieve a successful days shopping
in the east, in the bazaars, say. OF Con-
stantinople. you do not require a long
purse so much as an inexhaustible stock
Of patience and the certain knowledge
that. unless you wish TO pay an eaor-
nous amount more than you should do,
you Will have TO waste a large proper
ton OF your time in bargaining.
Nor is that all. There are tricks in
every trade, and there are certain set
tricks that are the recognized stock-in-
trade of every shopper in eastern marts.
One thing you can always be sure of.
If you leave the matter of price to the
owner Of the shop he viii always ask
you at least treble what he expects TO
get, and that even in places where
fixed price" is ostentatiously displayed.
In England you walk into. shop;
suave shopwalker advances. asks you
your pleasure" and leads you to wher-
ever you may wish to go. Then goods
are displayed before you. and you make
your selection. and If you don't like a
thing you arc at perfect liberty to say
So
The Hussulman trader has q very dIi-
ferent way of doing things.
Say you enter a bazaar. A turbsued
old fellow viii be sitting there. as like
" as not smoking a hubble-bubble. He
Will salute you politely, and come for
ward To hear your pleasure.
little jeweled ornament may strike
your fancy. You pick it up and signify
your approval and admiration. Watch
your wouId-be sellers face. You will
probably notice that contrary to your
approval evoking an answering apprecia-
uon from him, ne looks somewhat glum.
You wonder, maybe, how much you
had better offer him for the trifle. Sud
denly your gaze is attracted by a tine
piece Of pottery on a tray. Instantly
you approach this, and. picking IT up
once more, show your evident apprecla-
ton.
You win only see the gloom on your
merchants face deepen. Admire some
thing else in the same way, and he VIII
probably resume his hubble-bubblo ana
his seat in obvious dUdgeon.
.Why2 UncCnsCiOusly. You have been
expressing the fact that you have not
come there 10 bargain, but merely 10
have a look round. that you do not
want to buy anything. Had YOU so
wished. your behavior would have been
far different.
You would have picked up the jeweled
ornament with cOntemptuous gesture.
would have asked the shopman what he
meant by selling such rubbish, would
have avOwed that you had never seen
such gimcracl6 ware. Then his GUINNESS
would have vanished. He would have
entered into the spirit OF the game i'm
medately. would have avowed that the
thing was worth two hundred piastres.
would have ended by accepting sixty
piastres for IL.
And had you offered him eventually
fifty piastres for the thing, he would
have sworn in the most picturesque
manner possible that he would rather
fling himself into the Bosphorus than
accept so ridiculous a sum. Thereupon
YOU would have promptly made as
though you meant to leave the shop.
and he would have taken your bid.
That is how you shop in the east. II
Is not likely that the same method will
ever catch on in our London stores

Il Tdflot'S Deufce.

There are many lessons in dressmak-
ing that can be learned from the tailor
ard his methods. One of the most valu-
able is TO be found in a study of the
way in which he marks the two sides
OF a waist or coat. so that pleats to be
laid or trimming TO be applied shall be
exactly the same in both. First, he
cuts the two pieces and lays them to-
gether face to face; then he either
places over them paper pattern. which
is carefully marked. or chalks the
proper marks on the upper piece. Then
with long double thread he takes al
ternately one long and two short
stitches over the indicating lines. He
then clips through the long stitches and
proceeds to pull the two thicknesses Of
material gently apart. clipping each
short stitch as it appears between the
two. When ali is done there remains
on each piece a perfectly clear and true
indicating line that cannot deviate in the
least from the corresponding one on the
other.

Culinary Hints

For a hot luncheon dish some Italian
cakes that have cheese in them NAV
prove acceptable. They are called
gnocchi. To make them two processes
are necessary. First some butter must
be melted. Take a fourth of a cupfuI
of II. and when il begins TO bubble well
add 10 1t half cupful Of flour and a half
cupful of cornstarch with some salt.
Add two cups Of milk gradually, stir
ring we'll all the time for a few min
utes and the yOlks Of two eggs that
have been beaten a little.
Pour into a buttered pan. making the
mixture not very thick When il has
cooled turn it out into a cutting board,
and with a sharp knife divide il into
fancy shapes. either diamonds or squares
or in finger-length strips Arrange them
on platter, sprinkle with some Of the
same finely grated cheese used in the
gnOcchi and place the platter or baking
plate in the oven until the gnocchi are
OF nice brown color.
Another way is to use two kinds Of
cheese and some potato in the mixture.
Sift two or three large. fine, boiled DO
tatOes. while still hot. Mix them with
two tableSpoOufuls Of flour ana a beaten
egg ana enough milk TO make rather a
stif paste Roll this up like big bologna
sausage and cut il down in slices They
should be about three-quartcrs OF an
inch In thickness. Put them away i'm
the pantry TO dry off for somewhat less
than an hour Have ready some boiling
salted water. Drop the slices OF
gnocchl into ii and cook for ten minutes.
Lift with a spatula or pieknife Place
them In a dish suitable for baking such
as is used for macaroni or pUGdings Put
butter between each layer and some
grated cheese and finish with cheese on
top. Brown the top by means Of a sala-

kinds Of cheese recommended.
