AsPERSES NAME OF WOMAN.
Diplomat CircuIates Libel 40 Force
Husband from His Office.

Vienna, Jan. 1.-THE NeGes Wiener
Tagbiat publishes details OF a scandal IN
diplomatic circles which is probably with
out precedent.
A few days ago all the ambassadors and
the members of the diplomatic body ac-
credited TO Vienna received each an
anonymous letter conveying the grossest
aspersions on the fair fame OF a woman,
the wife OF a diplomat resident here.
The woman in question is well known as
Of blamelcss life. being devoted to her
husband and family
The accusation became the subject Of
much discussion in court and diplomatic
circles, which are much incensed at the
character Of the libels The husband.
whose Indignation may well be Imagined
left no stone unturned 10 discover the
writer of the Infamous insinuatl0ns. All
the letters were subjected TO a severe
scrutiny. and owing to certain Peculiari-
ties Of the handwriting, their authorship
was traced to a member OF the diplomats
body.
il appears that the writer attempted 20
strike at the husband through the wife,
and force him 20 leave his post. His
clumsy method Of attack has failed. and
the caIumniatOr has left the city hastily.
His government has been communicated
with. and letters for his recall are now
on their way to Vienna, which has prob
ably seen him for the last time.

ANTI-SUICIDE BUREAU AIDS
Many Lives Saved by Salvation

Tales of Misfortune Are Heard from
1,2OO in First Year

London, Jan, 1.-THE Salvation Army
publishes a report of the first weeks
working Of its anti-suicide bureau. which
was established by Gen. Booth. The prin-
clples on which the scheme was founded
were fnvioIable secreasy, free consulta-
ton and advice. and no financial help
guaranteed. No less than LBS men and
ninety-fye women applied 70 the London
bureau. Gen. Booth says that 70 per cent
were diverted from their intention.
Whether the remainder peTished by
their own hands is not stated. Most Of
the applicants belonged TO the middle
classes. and a majority Of the women
have received d good education. More
than 80 per cent Of the men attributed
their distress TO financial embarrassment
or poverty. II per cent TO drink. drugs.
and disease, and y per cent 10 accidents.
sickness, and other misfOTtunes. Two
thirds OF the womeS were suffering from
melanchOlia, caused by money worries,
and the remainder from drugs and drink.
In regard to the method Of treatment.
Gen. Booth observes that each applicant
had 10 be treated on his merits None
tary help was often given, and in some
cases with the best results. For the rest
sympathy, prayer. and encouragement
were always useful. while in case of
those whose trouble was due to criminal
transactions the general rule had been to
awaken the wrongdoer to consciousness
Of his wrong and encourage confession
and restitution.

NACONSUMPTION CURE
European Doctors Recommend II
and Say 1t Has Advantages.
Lack of Expense One, as Trip up in
the Clouds Costs Less Than
Into the Mountains.

Munich, Jan. 1.-THE kneU Of Davos
and other Alpine resorts frequented by
consumptives is sounded by an ever
growing band of continental medical men,
who are advocating the balloon cure"
for tuberculosis.
Go up in a balloon every day, IS the
advice Of these doctors to consumptives.
The cure has many advantages. Lack
Of expense is one Of them. It is far
cheaper TO keep a balloon in your back
garden in the suburbs and take your daily
two hours up above the clouds than 10
have to so away and live in expensive
hotels for months at time
II is also claimed for the balloon cure"
that such a wide range Of altitude is OBJ
tainable by means Of a balloon that It
makes it far superior treatment 10 that
Of ordering a patient away to some Alpine
village, where. even with hard exercise,
he cannot vary his altitude by more than
a few hundred feet a day.
In paper he read recently before the
Academy of Sciences, NJ Christian Beck.
Ia well-knOwn scientist. declared that the
balloon Veatment could be carried on in
conditions impossible OF attainment in any
mountain resort
In a balloon, he said, the patient could
be conveyed in a few moments into an
atmosphere where neither mineral nor
vegetable particles were present in the
air. which would also be bacteriologically
pure.
The dose can easily be regulated, the
patient being able TO breath air at any al
Ititude the physician thinks best for him.
Even on the fOggiest London days he can
ascend through the clouds into an atmos-
phere of perfect purity, and, sitting well
wrapped up in the car, enjoy the keen,
pure air and bright sunshine denied to his
unfortunate fellow-creatures below

EXHUME LONG-BURIED CITY
The Light of Day to Shine On HerCu.
laneum After 1900 Years.
Big Government work Being Under
markabIe Finds Expected.

Rome. Jan. 1.-THE italian govern
mcnt announces that the excavation Of
the buried city Of HercuIaneum will be
begun at once
The work viii be carried out by the
Italian government with Italian funds,
and the advice Of eminent foreign arch
eologists viii be gratefully accepted
Thus the proposal made by Prof Wald-
stein, Of Cambridge University, that the
excavations should be supervised by an
international committee is finally mega
tived.
The artistic treasures which should be
unearthed are expected to prove far
richer than those already discovered in
the buried city of PompeH, where Roman
houses have been uncovered, with manu-
scripts. fragments Of Roman newspapers,
frescoes. and innumerable other strange
relics of human life !, 500 years ago.
The difficulty In the way OF excavations
in the past has been the fact that the
surface of the deposit which covers the
ancient city is occupied by modern vii
lagos. These have gradually spread and
grown. thus hampering the explorer.
The city of Herculaneum lies about five
miles from Naples. close to the Mediter-
ranean. II was a great and pOpulOus
center in Roman times. but it was totally
destroyed in A. D. 7s by terrible erup-
ton of Vesuvius. A poor village after
ward sprang up on the site. but this also
was overwhelmed by a second eruption
in A D. AZ. The ancient city now lies
from 30 to 100 feet deep under a mass of
lava and volcanic dust. cOmpacted by
ages. But the very calamity which de-
stroyed It preserved for future genera
tions its treasures. But for Pompeii, that
buried city which has been exhumed in
the last 80 years. no one would have
known what a Roman town looked like
or how the Romans Of the first century

for example. to print mechanically the
messages transmitted by the London and
Paris cable. 1t can be used without tele-
graphists being present.
This latest invention, Mr.. Poulsen an
nounees, makes his system complete and
ready to compete with the cables. Only
slowness in delivery Of several iron and
steel machines ordered from abroad, he
adds, has delayed the establishment OF
foreign wireless stations.
Since Thursday night the stations at
Berlin and Newcastle-on-Tyne have been
in communication with Mr.. Poulsen's sta
ton at Lyngby, near here, and using the
new writing machine. Mr.. Poulsen claims
that the experiments proved that the new
method occupies less time than the cable.
The rate of transmission averaged twen-
ty-two words 4 minute The reproduction

don in March.
The story of her discovery IS Interest,"
ing. short time ago Dr. Grosz, a Ber-
lin concert agent, was told by an Eng
lsh friend that he had heard. while pass
ing a house in a London street, a violin
ist playing with extraordinary skill and
feeling. He listened for some time and
became convinced of the genius OF the
musician.
All ne could tell DIR. Grosz. however,
was that he thought the mysterious vio-
linist was probably "a pupil of Prof.
Auer.
DR.. Grosz at once offered a detective
$3.50 if he could find the musician, and iE
three days he succeeded. Miss PaTi0w
played TO DIR. Grosz. and he was so inn
pressed that he offered TO bring her out
as a solo violinist
Miss Parlpw was glad 20 agree, as her
father is dead and she had been living
with her mother in London. on very
slender means She has already made
several thousands Of pounds in Berlin
and Copenhagen, where she played be-
fore 3,eo0 persons. and she is engaged TO
play at 120 concerts in North and South
