JEWELS ARRIVE
 FROM NEW YORK

Budapest, May 23.-Countess Gladys Szech enyi's jewels have at last arrived here from New York. They were sent in two strong boxes, addressed to Count Ladislaus Szechenyi. The cus- toms house valued the larger box at 100000 kronens-s600 ,oOO in all. The smaller box contained diamonds only, many of them unmounted.
 The jewel cask cts are of a highly in steel boxes lined with purple vel vet. One of the younger brothe of Count Ladislaus, armed with the lat ter's power of attorney examined the jewels in conjunction with the customs people and finally carried them off, in an automobile.
 They are now deposited with the Szechenyfs local bank, as 1t would be unsafe to ship them to, or keep tn hem at, the Szechenyis country seat.
 For the first time Countess Gladys Vanderbilt Szechenyi's name appears in the real estate records. In conjunction with her husband, Count Ladislaus she has bought the castle and landed es- tates of Remete- vasgyar from Count Karolyi, paying 800,000 kronens cas (s160000) The estates are rich in wood, and the castle is far more lordly than the Szechenyi homestead.
 It is surmised that Countess Gladys will rebuild the old residence and make 1t her country home.

Private Saved Life at Time of Assas.
 sination.

Lisbon, May 2S.-Private Alvaro valente, of the Twelfth Infantry regiment is the produest and most envied man in the Portuguese army He has been publicly thanked and decorated by his Queen, whose life he saved when King Carlos and the Grown Prince were assassinated.
 Valente saw one of the assassins aim ing point-blank at the Queen with car bine. He knocked up the weapon and the ball whizzed harmlessly into the air.
 For this prompt action he has received honors higher than any common soldier in Portugal has ever won. He was sum- moned to the palace, where Queen AmelIe pinned on his breast the Cross of .he Order of the Tower and presented him with the sword for merit.
 The Queen and her son the young King then appeared on the balcony of the pal ace. followed by Valente. With one arm around the neck of the King, she pointed to the soldier with her left hand, and m a voice broken by emotion said "He saved my life" The touching scene was wit messed by a huge crowd of people who cheered the hero of the hour as much as the King and Queen.

HARRY LAUDER IS
 IN TIGHT PLACE
COMEDIAN TRIES TO BUY OFF THE LONDON MANAGER FOR AN AMERICAN TRIP-JAPANESE PRAISE FALLS ON LONDON.

London, May 23-Harry Lauder, the over again to New York next October. has been placed in very awkward position.
 One of the leading managers of the pantomime. Robert Arthur, some time ago secured MT. Lauders services for the pantomime of Cinderella to be performed at the Theatre Royal, Glasgow. next Christmas. The contract is for s1000 a week. MT. Lauder would, of course, have to get back to London for rehear- sals, and his season on the other side would have to be a brief one, so last week he went to MT. Arthur with an unusual offer.
 He proposed to hand over s12,500 in cash to MT Arthur on condition that the contract for the pantomime should be cancelled. MT. Arthur thought it over a day or two and then decided to decline the tempting offer. That Is how matters stand at present, but the canny Scot still hopes to wriggle out of his con- tract
 Londoners are greatly amused at the superlative politeness of their Japanese visitors who have arrived here from America on their world-tour in search of knowledge. But Londoners are also growing somewhat tired of this sustained diplomatic attitude, and this feeling is in- spired to a great extent by the arrival of the American mail.
 In the New York papers one finds that all the sweet praise which has been so generously lavished upon things English and Englishmen has already been poured

KAISER AS AN ARCHITECT.
Even His lnadvertent Corrections of a
 Building Must Be O5eyed.

Samuel G. Blythe in the June Every
 body's.
 Emperor William is the busiest man in Germany. Temperamentally, I take it, President Roosevelt resembles him much, but the Kaiser is the more versatile of the two. If there is anything going on In the empire that the Kaiser does not find an opportunity to take hack at, it has escaped the notice of those who watch him closely. He revises all public findings, supervises all archtec- ture, lectures everybody, and is a gen. eral all-round Little Father, In every sense of the term.
 When they want to illustrate his cease less activity as well as his resstless power, they tell the story of the star above the cross on the spire of the Em- peror William Memorial church. This Is the tale as 1t was told to me: Of course, the Kaiser insisted on revising the plans of the church. That is one of his fondest prerogatives-zy 'vising every thing and especially plaY The architect brought the plans to hin.. and the Kaiser scratched out what he didn't like and made such additions as he fancied before he gave them the imperial o. K. The church was built. There was to be a big, gilt cross on the spire, and 1t ap- peared in it's proper place. But, much to the general astonlshment, when the cross was put up large, many-pointed gold star was raised above it, on heavy rod The Berliners could not un- derstand the star. They inquired. The architect said the Kaiser had added the star to the plans.
 The plans were examined. Then 1t was found that, In revising them, the Kaiser had let fall a drop of ink from his pen, which hit the paper just above the cross. The architect studied a long time over this blot of ink. His Teutonic mind grappled with the problem for weeks. There was no appeal. There could be no inquiries. He finally decided the blot of ink signified a star above the cross, and he put tine star there, making 1t to cor respond, as nearly as possible, with the outlines of the blot. The star Is still there.

WIFE IS ABANDONED.
Money For Which He Married Is All
 Gone.

Berlin, May 23.-Because Ciscountess Ci- cray, the grand daughter of the late Duke Carl of Brunswick who left his enormous fortune to the City of Geneva, lost her suit asking for a portion of the estate, her husband, Count Wolf von Durckhei1n has abandoned her.
 The count is 30 years of age; his wife is 55, but the elderly lady did not know that the gay officer of cruirassiers, who talked so much of honor and nobility married her merely for the money she expected to realize from her late grand fathers estate The courts hadsno sooner decided against her claim than Count Durckheim left her in London, where they were married, without word of explan- atiOn. 5H

 out upon things American and American men Londoners are told that English women are the prettiest in the world and greatly superior to their sisters across tile Atlantic. But they find that the Ameri- can press chronicles the Japanese opin- ion that English women are poor things compared to the beauties of America
 Londoners learn that the Oriental con- siders America the most commercial na- tion in the world-while on American ground. Here in London, commercial su- premacy is the sole legacy of the British.
 In New York American public buildings and thoroughfares were the last word in architecture and town-planning. In Lon don the Japanese express their admiration for the finest streets and architecture in the world.
 The result of this accommodativenes has been that their visit. after the first couple of days, has failed completely fiat, their movements promote no further in- terests and their views on people and places are no longer recorded. Even a !apanese can be too diplomatic.
