THE WORLD AND THE LOVER.
An Old Proverb That Is Exceedingly
Open to Question.

An Oi1 TFoNcED ! Hdt - -%S~@otHSi[
Open to Question.
The whole world is proverbiaIly
said to love lover. Like most pro-
verbal statements, this one is OK
ceedingly open to question In fact,
all the evidence seems fatty the
other way. On what data, one won
ders, did the Old proverb maker.
base his dictum? Surely not on
the great love stories. The world,
with its appetite for vicarious ex-
element, likes well enough to
watch the tragic spectacle Of a
great passion. Incapable of great
feelings itself, it thrills to the
drama of them in others. 1t even
applauds their lawlessness and can
onizes their audacity. All the same,
it will not raise a finger to help
while the story is in the making,
but, on the contrary, does every
thing In its power to prosecute and
impede. The moment Romeo and
Juliet are safely dead in each 9th
er's arms the world is voluble with
its sympathy, but not till it is quite
sure that its sympathy can be of no
possible service to the lovers. While
sympathy would be of some use, the
world, which is the embodied cow
ardice and can't of humanity, stands
firm with Montague and Capulet,
seniors. If the lovers win, well and
good. No one has ever denied that
the world loves success, though it
has always consistently done its
worst to prevent it. Yes, the world
loves successful love, as it fawns on
anything that has conquered it. 1t
loves also pity that costs it nothing
But that it loves a lover, for love of
love, IS simply not true. If it were
true, there would probably have
been no love stories, for the drama
of love has mostly come Of the con
fiict between the lovers and the
world. They had to count the world
well lost to win each other. 1t was
so in the days of Tristan and Iseult,
and so it still is in the days of Ru-
dolph of Bavaria. Richard LIE Gal

May Hold Special Session.

1t looks as if the legislature were
in for two or three weeks more of
hard work before adjourning, or
else a special session may be held
Immediately after adjournment of
the regular session. From Hon. c.
F. Elkins, one of the representa-
tives from this district, who is now
at home on short visit, THE HER
AID learns that it is not likely that
the appropriation bills and other
work yet unfinished can be COM
pleted in shorter time. The SEN
ate has not yet concurred with the
house resolution to adjourn sine
die on April 6, Mr.. Elkins says,
and should it do so, a special ses-
sion would very probably be neces
sary. Naturally the m,mbers do
not relish the prospect of several
weeks work on the two dollar per
diem, and it is not unlikely that
adjournment will be decided upon.
with the understanding that a spe-
cial session will follow.

Heaven to Fight.

Special Dispatch TO The Star
PITTSBC re, Pa, April 17-Believing
that she has command from heaven to
make fight against the saloons on their
own ground, Mrs. j. b. Masters, wife of a
wealthy Pttsburger and social leader

Last night the first of the visits to the
larger saloons of the district was made
Mrs. Masters passing tracts and her col
leagues singing. There was no attempt at
personal exhortation. In every instance
the saloonkeepers, apprised beforehand of
the coming of the crusaders, gave them
respectful attention and stopped the SELL
ing of drinks while the little band was
present. I'VE are Christians and want to
see the men saved was the remark of the
richest Highland avenue Saloonist at the
close of a service in his bar room
Mrs. Masters work has aroused consid-
cradle opposition among members of the
Emory Church, but she says she will not
be deferred. The crusade is to extend to
the downtown districts. Mrs Masters
says her mission was revealed to her at
her home after a night at a fashionable
card party. She moves in the most ex-
elusive circles.

FIRST CASE OF ITS KIND.
King Edward Sued by Woman for
Train Injuries.

Special Dispatch to The Star
BOSTON, Mass, April 17.-Sued by an
American woman. his majesty. Edward
VII King of Great Britain and Ireland
and Emperor of India, has been made the
DEFENDANT in equity proceedings for per-
sonal injuries to Annie Mason of Boston
In order TO consider Internal ional questions
which are involved Judge Fessenden of
the superior court has taken the case under
Amusement. ....
Last summer, while visiting relatives in
Canada, the plaintiff alleges that she was
seriously injured while boarding a train of
ire lntercolonial railway. On returning
to Boston she brought suit in the slperior
court of Suffolk county, naming the Boston
ana Name railroad and Robert w. Chapman
OIL the Canada Atlantic Plant Steamship
company as trustees. Through its counsel
Arthur II. Russell, the IntercoIonial rail-
ROAD moved the court to dismiss the action
on the ground that the Intercolonial rail-
way Is owned by his majesty. King Ed
ward. and that international law fOrbids
against a friendly sovereign
The contention of the plaintiff through
Nathan Wolfman, her counsel, is that
the sovereign of England conducts the un-
dertaklng in his private capacity, and
therefore should be held liable, as is any
private corporation, for the negligence of
his servants. 1t was also pointed cut that
u the suit was dismissed the PLAINTIFF
would be without remedy. for, in the Cana
dian courts, no action could be brought
The case is the first one of its kind to be
brought in the United States and is arous-
ing much interest among the legal profess
sion.

NO ADVICES AS TO QUAKE.
Believed Here That It Was Not as
Extensive as First Reported.

From the fact that the gunboat Princeton
sailed from Salina Cruz, Mexico, and that
the commander did not mention earthquake
damage In his message to the Navy De-
partment is taken as an indication that
the shock was not serious that far south.
salina Cruz is the most southerly port on
the Pacific coast of Mexico. The greatest
damage from the earthquake is said to be
south of Mexico City. and therefore the
failure of the Princetons commander to
send news causes naval officials to believe
that the quake was not as extensive as at
first reported. 1t was said at the State
department today that no advices had been
received from any point concerning the
shock.

Proposed Washington Conference.

The city of Washington continues to grow
in favor as the best place for a permanent

the opinion that the Washington govern

bringing about a lasting agreement. The

governments on the subject of selecting
Washington as the place of holding the

that the conference would be warmly well

Roosevelt Weak in the South.
The vote of the southern states in the
next national convention promises to play
a greater part in affairs than heretofore

the conclusion that it would be better not

other southern states the negroes who alb

begun already TO organize against the
