Those were the last words any one

was taken by the neighbors. A patrol

|KAISER'S MUSTACHE
NO LONGER BRISTLES
MARTIAL STYLE GIVES WAY TO
MELANCHOLY DR00P
Revolution That Profoundly Affects
Teutonic Fashions Attributed to
Accident Attending Lighting
of Imperial Cigarette

Special Cable to The Herald
BERLIN, May 20.--The kaiser has al
tered his style OF wearing his mus
tache. Thirty million loyal Teutons, the
estimated male population of the en-
pire, are directly affected, for to turn
ones mustache in the martial manner
immortalized by the emperor has be
come an unwritten law of masculine
patriotism throughout the fatherland.
1t is stated that the kaiser has decided
to do away with the familiar bristling,
upward effect which has SO long given
his countenance an aspect of fierceness,
and will henceforth wear his mustache
with the ends long drawn out and with
only the remotest suggestion Of perpen-
dicularity.
This revolutionary change, which will
cause the caricaturists of the world to
revise their whole conception of the
imperial physiognomy, appears TO have
been forced upon the emperor rather
than chosen by him. 1t Is related that
while his majesty recently was lighting
a cigarette the left end of MS mus
tache was singed and half of II burned
off. This necessitated the cutting off of
the other end. to secure symmetry
The new formation evoked the lively
admiration of the empress, and the
kaiser determined to retain 1t.
The court barber. Herr Haby, VINO is
given the credit in contemporary Ger
man history of having designed the
kaiser's perpendicular mustache, be-
came wealthy and famous In conse-
az ,nce of 1t. Herr Haby placed an IN
vention upon the market called the
skaiser band" to be worn across the
mouth for a certain period each day
until the mustache became trained to
bristle upward at an angle of 10 de-
grees. exactly like the kaiser's. Millions
of "kaiser bands are In daily use In
Germany and are among the proudest
possessions of many q budding youth.

WHOLESALE FABRIC DEALERS
MAKE FRESH CUT IN PRICES

CHICAGO, May 20.-In their fight
against manufacturers to reduce the
cost Of cotton fabric the wholesale deal
ers announced reduction yesterday,
making the prices of cotton goods 35
per cent less than they were last Oc-
tober. 1t is said that this will be the
last reduction.
Last fall a large Chicago firm, be-
Heving that manufacturers were de-
manding too high a price for cotton
goods, when an estimate of the cost of
the raw material and labor was made,
caused a furry by cutting the price
about 10 per cent. Since that time
there have been several other reduc-
tions, Chicago and New York houses
entering the fight to compel manufac-
turers to lower the cost of the finished
product.

Mrs. Eddy was being driven around
the reservoir, one of her favorite
drives, by the way, and shortly AFTER
she had returned Mrs. Sargent came
to the drawing room and said that
Mrs. Eddy had asked to have me
shown up to her room.
On the way up the one flight or
stairs Mrs. Sargent said that Mrs. Eddy
had recognized me from her carriage
and desired to see me, but" said Mrs.
Sargent, "she probably won't ask you
to sit down, as she always plunges
right into her work of writing as soon
as she returns from her drive"
By the time this had been said we
had arrived at the door of the large
room where Mrs. Eddy does her work.
This room Is almost an exact dupli-
cate of the one she occupied as her
study at Pleasant View, and Is SINH
larly situated. There Is an immense
bay window, with a balcony running
around 1t, and in the center of the bay
window there is a small secretary from
which depends an electric bellcord. In
front of the secretary is Mrs. Eddy s
easy chair, and next to that is very
heavy natural-wood mahogany table
The room is finished in lighter colors
than was the one at Concord the 1ur-
niture being of light-colored mahogany
with the exception of Mrs. Eddy's chair,
which is upholstered in dark-colored
| material and looks comfortable rather
than elegant.
AS Mrs. Sargent and I entered the
commodious room Mrs. Eddy rose from
her chair, and quickly taking the three
or four steps which covered the dis
| lance between her chair and the end OF
the desk, advanced to meet me with
right hand outstretched in greeting
| She looked me straight in the eyes
and as she took and shook my hanc
with a strong grasp she said Mr.
Park, 1 am very glad to see you again
1t was then that I remarked that she
was looking wonderfully well and asked
her If she were well and she replied
why, of course"
Still holding my hand Mrs. Eddy
| again said: az am glad you called.
would ask you to sit down, but this Ii
my time for work. 1t is a work of eter'
nifty. The hours do not give me time
enough"
Then Mrs. Eddy bowed and resumed
her seat to take UP her pen and 9
writing pad and I left the room with
Mrs. Sargent.
| Mrs. Eddy will be 81 years old July
| is, and she is wonderfully vigorous
mentally and physically, for one of hel
years. There has been no deterioration
in her condition during the past year,
and there is no doubt. Judging from hel
| appearance and her conversation, thai
| she Is now in vigorous health.

RUMOR OF ILLNESS
is PROVED BASELESS
MRS. MARY EDDY GREATLY
IMPROVED
Founder of Christian Science Stronger
Physically and as Alert Mentally
as She Was Eleven
Months Ago

Baseless rumors to the effect that
Mrs. Mary Baker g. Eddy, discoverer
and founder of Christian Science, is Sc
riously Ill at her handsome home in
Chestnut Hill have been circulated for
several days, writes Edwin j. Park In
the Boston Globe. The inspiration for
the rumors appears to have been a
dispatch published last Saturday morn
ing in a New York newspaper which
said that Mrs. Eddy was suffering Sc
verely as the result of cold and had
been unable to go out for a drive for
two weeks.
Each statement in the dispatch re-
ferred to was denied seriatim yester-
day at Mrs. Eddy's home, and the
writer, who saw, shook hands and
talked with Mrs. Eddy, certifices that
she is apparently stronger physically
and quite as alert mentally as she was
eleven months ago, which was the last
former occasion upon which he had an
opportunity of conversing with the not
ed woman.
There was yesterday no visible indi-
cation that the passage of eleven
months time has in any way affected
Mrs. Eddy adversely. Her eye Is as
bright, her hand-clasp as strong and
hearty and her voice as full and steady
as when | visited with her for forty
minutes on the afternoon of June IL
last year at her old home in Pleasant
View, Concord, N. H.
If there has been any change in Mrs
Eddys physical condition during the
past eleven months it has been for the
better. Yesterday afternoon I saw hei
walk from the door of her home
through the porte cochere to her car
riage, into which she stepped alone
without assistance from any one. and
there was neither hesitancy nor weak
ness In her step. When she returned
from her drive l saw Mrs. Eddy in heI
work room. She rose from her chair
when entered the large room, stepped
to the outer end of her long desk, and
grasping my right hand with hers
gave me a vigorous handshake.
No Quaver In Her Voice
In her greeting to me, and in the few
words she said following that, there
was no quaver or other uncertain quail
| ity in her voice, which was as full and
| strong as it ever has been, or rather
during the year 1 have known her per-
| sonally.
Mrs. Eddy is undoubtedly in good
health. When l asked her II she were
we'll she replied, why, of course" as
though the question had been superfiu-
ous-as it probably was.
No one of her household has at any
time been disturbed concerning her
physical or mental condition, for there
has been nothing in either to give them
cause for concern. The household and
those other friends who are nearest to
Mrs. Eddy say unanimously that at no
time since she removed from Concord,
N. H., to Chestnut Hill, on January &c,
has she shown the slightest signs of
indisposition, and they are greatly mys-
titled over the publication in New York
