OLD MADE YOUNG AGAIN
BY USE OF ELECTRICITY

Paris is fuU OF plans fer living for
ever these days. There is the Aogurt
or sour milk plan; the Rene Quinton
or sea water plan, the vegetarian plan,
the fruitariau plan, and the Arsonval
or electrical plan, which is based on
the theory that the majority Of people
die from scleIosis or hardening of the
walls OF the arteries.
Prof. Jacques Arsene d'Ars0nval is the
originator of the theory that this can
be prevented by the application 10 the
system of electric currents of high fire.
ouencv and other doctors have taken
up the idea and are practcing frank

According 10 one system the patient
sits in a chair placed on slab OF
glass or other nonconducting material

wire is lowered over him so that he

No More SQucdIS

To those who can recall the times in
which women took part in games in a
more or less frivolous and light-hearted
spirit. nothing is more remarkable than
The seriousness OF the modern sports
woman, and. what is more, her almost
oppressive silence.
Women no longer bring laughter and
merriment into the games they take Up.
On ladies golf links there are fewer
voices heard than when men are en-
gagged in the game, and even the excite
ment OF the hockey ground is not con-
sidered an excuse for those small squeals
Of triumph and walls OF despair which
were common TO the early days OF the
game.
Women have made great progress. in
sport but their proudest accomplishment
should surely be that they have learned
the golden value Of silence IN the field.

Court Beauty
Picture Model
In Noted Work

The death OF an old German barytone
singer named julius Muller revives the
story Of the picture of queen Louise OF
Prussia. which is almost as Wen known
in American households as it is in Ger
many. It Is the picture in which the
beautiful and unfortunate Queen is rep
resented in a long white Empire gown
with a jeweled crescent above her
forehead and her hand resting across
her breast as she comes down a flight
OF stairs.
Many people have supposed that the
picture, which is now in the Museum at
Cologne. is a portrait Of the patriotic
Queen, but as matter Of fact 1t was
painted ia 1879, whereas Queen Louise
died in 1910, and the model for IL was
Julius Mullers wife. 1t is the work OF
Prof. Gustav Richter, and when he con-
Ceived the idea of painting it he search
ed far and wide for a model finally Sc
lecting Fraulein Josehne Won Ziegler
und Klipphausen.
She was the youngest daughter OF
Baron Theodor Won Ziegler, chamber
lain of the Prusslan court. and was
famous beauty OF the Prussian court In
her giTIhood.
ElauiEiA Won SleG teF was just tlb4t-
cen when Richter picked her as the
model for the picture. II was and is
tradition. almost d religious conviction,
in her family. that ia youth she bore
strong resemblance to the Queen, at
whose court her grandmother had been
a prominent figure. When the picture
was finished, however, the old Kaiser,
Wilhelm ], was invited 10 see ii. He
looked at it long and tenderly. then
turned away, shaking his head sadly.

pretty. very pretty, but not the least
trace of resemblance

Louise and was old enough when she
died 90 have preserved recollection
of nCT.
Muller was an excellent singer; he be-
lOqged 10 the Nissbadeu company, but
died at Frankfort-Ou-Main. His wife,

survives him.

NO SALARY RAISE
Business Depression of Present
 Year Against Il.

The board of finance met yesterday afternoon and passed the following resolutions:
 Voted: That the board of finance is of the opinion that in the present condition of business and with the probability that the actual revenue of the city for the current year will, on account of business depression, be less than it's estimated resources, that no more salaries ought to be increased by the city at the present time.
 Voted: That all requests for in creases in salary be returned to the board from which they came with q copy of this note."
 Comptroller Russell reported that he was unable to find unappropriated revenue to the amount of $IG0, the sum asked for by the department of education to complete work on the stairways of the Croft school. It was voted to report the fact to the alder men.
 The bond of Comptroller Russell was approved.

TRIAL DRAGGING ON
Attorney Kellogg Complained of
 Repetition By Witnesses.

The Samele murder case is drag ging along very slowly in the super for court. A dispute between counsel to-day somewhat enlivened the pro- ceedings. Assistant Sate's Attorney Kellogg claimed Attorney Russell, counsel with Attorney Bauby for the defence, was repeatedly going over and over the same evidence without any advantage to his case or satis- facion to the state, and thereby con siderable time was lost He did not think this was right
 Attorney Russell with some warmth retorted that it was necessary to have the witness go over his story for no two witnesses for the state have told the same story of the beginning of the hght that cost Vito Summa his life. IT counsel was to be subjected to in- terruptions from the states attorney every few minutes, he said he could not examine the witness with any satisfaction to himself or justice to the man whose life is in the balance.
 MT Kellogg answered that he did rot wish to interfere with the rights of the accused in the smallest particle but he wished to remind the court that Mir Russell went over the same evi- dence yesterday, he went over it again this morning and toward II o'clock he was beginning to go over it again. He thought that was the limit It was not just to the state to spend month in asking exctly the same ques- tions over and over again.
 Judge Reed said it was his wish that counsel for the defense should be given all reasonable latitude in a case of this kind, but there must be a limit to cross examination, and he was ready to take it for granted that counsel for defence desired to be reasonable in his examination and make it short and just.
 The witness, one Scrlsti, then began to repeat what he had already stated, that is, three or four men jumped on Vito Summa. So far as he was aware Summa had said or done nothing to them. But DeLucia, the bartender, sprang from behind the bar and jumped in on the fighters with a view to esperate them. He saw no knives then but the moment DeLucia re- turned to behind the bar knives were flashed and Summa went down. The accused was in the fight.

THE POLICE COURT.
Man Who Broke Into Saloon Held
 Under $500 Bonds.

F.. !. Fisher of 565 East Main street asked the court to give his brother-in- law Adelard Vallerand IS, the limit of punishment. Nallerand was charged with theft of check for S14 from letter left in the house mail box by the letter carrier. The check was mailed by Patrick Courtney to Fisher and was sick benefits from q society. Fisher was expecting the money and the other day he asked vallerand to see if there were any mail in the mail box. Nallerand sus- pecting there was check in the let ter, denied there was any mail. On Mill street he met man named Trombley whom he asked to have the check cashed in bank. Detective Keegan happened along about that time and Vallerand's arrest resulted. yallerand had nothing to say for him self and his brother-in-law, Fisher, asked the court to give him all that the law allowed on the ground that it would do him good. Nallerand was fined $T and costs.
 Harry Bigel, the lad who broke in- to Loucks and Weizizbucks saloon at the corner of Spring and Scoylll streets was charged with theft of SS6. WeieZbuck's testified that he sr- curely locked every door in the saloon Wednesday night aud hid the days receipts $9G.45 behind the back bar. The door which Patrolman James F.. Walsh found open was fastened by two bolts which could not be opened only from the inside. The proprietor also stated that he several times re- moved Bigel from the saloon and licked him once or twice to get him to keep away, he being a minor. Officer Walsh stated he found the back door open and saw a number of bottles of whiskey, a few packages of cigarettes and a blue handkerchief with white spots tied, containing q lot of silver or the bar. When searched there was found on Bigel $36 in bills. the bal- lance of the $S6 was in change tied up in the handkerchief. Bigel said he fell asleep under pool table when the saloon was locking up. and that he took the money because he was out of work and had no prospect of q job. He was bound over under bail of SJOo. Frank Gunkusky who was arrested on suspicion of acting sem tinel for Bigel was let %.
