KAISER MAKES HIS
 POWER FELT IN ART

Berlin, April As a result of dis agreements with the Kaiser on art mat ters, Herr von Tschudi, director of the Berlin National gallery, has retired from office. The history of the case shows how the emperor makes his pow : CT felt even in such matters as the ss- lection of pictures for the public gal leries.
 The Kaiser's decision is final in the ch oice of new pictures, and as usual the latest new batch of pictures de- signed for the gallery were submitted tor his approval. They were mostly of the modern French school, style which the Emperor does not favor, while Herr von Tschudi is an admirer of it. Some of the pictures were "e- jected by his majesty, and he was nel- traI about others. Herr von TschuCi took 1t that he might purchase those which the Kaiser had not actually thrown out He even used his infia- ence with wealthy art patrons to haze the rejected pictures presented to the nation.
 The result of this intrigue coming to the Emperors ears was that the dc ouisition of the pictures was declared regular, as it had not had the Kaiser's sanction; the paintings were withdrawn from the gallery and the director was instructed to take years leave, which, of course, meant his dismissal.

The Assassination of Lincoln.

w. H. Taylor an Eyewitness, in Leslie's
 Weekly.
 About the middle of the third act shot was heard and immediately thereupon rang out John Wilkes Booths cry. Sic semper tyrannis"; not after he reached the stage, as has been stated in some &C., counts; neither did he jump from the box full height, with arms outspread and up- stretched, as we often see him in illus trations On the contrary. he placed both hands upon the rail of the box and swung himself over in that manner. thereby lessening the fall by the distance of his own height. One of his spurs caught in the American colors with which the box was draped. and he prob ably landed his whole weight on one foot On striking the stage he pitched forward on all fours. and I then saw the blade of a long stiletto or dagger glisten in the footlights. as his hand lay on the floor. He quickly rose to his feet and took one or two uncertain steps, then turning face to the audience, drew him. self LID in theatrical attitude, and. swing ing his arm in a half circle, made grand flourish with the dagger, and was off the stage in flash. Next came the piercing and horrifying shrieks of Mrs. Lincoln and then arose fearful commotion. Di- rectly efforts were made by some par ties to get into the box from the out side, but the door was barred from the inside. I next noticed a Rlilitary officer standing on the shoulders of another man and endeavoring to climb up to the

Wash Day at Pullman.
Silccess Maeazine.

From Success Magazine.
 The Pullman company. whose president Robert Todd Lincoln, Is the only living son of the best friend the plain people ever had, is strong on economy
 Those of us who know have long grum- bled at the fact that the porter, who closes down the untenanted upper berth where one's head will strike it hardest, Is paid only $25 a montn. Now. the inter- state commerce commission tells us that of this $500 a year the porter must give up to the company each year $50 for two uniforms of a grade which wholesale clothiers have offered to supply at 40 per cent less Three-fourtns of the porter s wages is paid by the travelling public in the form of tips.
 The Pullman company Is capitalized at S12S, 900 GOO, and two years ago its stock holders cut 'melon of $c0,000,000; but does it's frugality stop, think you, at hold ing up the porters, the public and the railroads? Far from 1t! Herewith is a further crumb of information from that hard working commission:
 Esthetic travellers have looked with favor on the practice of covering up the blanlxet in a berth with clean, white sheet. This is in conformity with what is known as the "third-sheet rule,' which was adopted January 1, 1905. Up to that time the Pullman company washed the

box from the stage. Meantime, the Pres ident had remained sitting in his chair with his head bent forward but I dis tinctly saw him rise once to his feet and in dazed sort of way attempt to take a step or two. He was not upright but half erect. Just then Major Rathbone came to his assistance, and. supported by the latter, he sank back into the chair. About this time I noticed Miss Laura Keene, who had reached the box from the private way back of the stage, and who was said to have brought a glass of water which might refresh the President The bar against the door having been re- moved from the inside, several people went into the box from the dress circle, and little more could be distinguished thereafter.
 Strangely enough. an assassination plot seemed to have been understood at once. for word was passed around that the place would be blown mp. There was a general rush to vacate the theatre, and from our position we were necessarily about the last ones who could possibly leave the place. On nearing the door way we saw men approaching rom the passage way back of the box with the form of the President, carried on an inn provised stretcher-as 1t now seems to me a window shutter or something of that nature-and we stopped to let them pass They were hastening from the building as well as they could, and the Presi- dents head was thrown back and some what down. He was quite unconscious. seemed perfectly limp. and was bleed ing slightly from the wound in his head. Just as they passed by I glanced on the floor, and, seeing crimson blotch on the piece of paper herewith Illustrated, picked it up. That the marks thereon are the life blood of Abraham Lincoln is as certain as that he was shot on the date and in the place mentioned.

KEY TO ANCIENT
 CALENDAR FOUND
RECENTLY DISCOVERED HEBREW DOCUMENTS SOLVES TIMES
 MEASUREMENT OF ISRAELITES IN DAYS OF NEBUcHADNEzzAR.

London, April IA key to Israers an- cient calendar has just been discovered in Egypt. E. B. Knobel, in paper read before the Royal Astronomical society, described the finding of ancient Hebrew documents by which has been estab- lished the method of time measurement among the Israelites in the time of Nebu- chadnezzar.
 In the Book of Jeremiah it is recorded that after the overthrow of the Jewish monarchy by Nebuchadnezzar a number of the principal inhabitants who were left fled into Egypt. Some of these, it ap- pears from recently translated papyri, founded an important colony at the first cataract-Syene the modern Assouan, now famous as the site of the great Nile dam.
 Some papyri discovered at this place, and translated recently by Professor Sayce and MT. Cowley, contain contracts dated according to both the Egyptian and Jewish calendars As the Egyptian calen- dar is perfectly well known to us, 1t IS now possible to reconstruct the Jewish calendar.
 MT Knobel's reconstruction shows that the Jewish calendar in use at the period in question was one derived, not from actual observation of the first appearance Of the new moon. but from calculation This cal- culation was clearly based upon knowl- edge of the fact that 19 solar years con- tain an exact number of lunar months-a fact made use of in the "Golden Num- ber'' of the Prayer Book tables for find- ing Easter. The discovery of this cycle is usually ascribed to Meton the Greek, but it is now clear that 1t was in reg ular use among the Jews long before his time

been cut off in 1872 we can figure this na- tion in 1908 as one of possibly 45,000000 souls.
 With immigration stopped in 1S42. we might have had no Civil War. The south would be in control in Washington, and, if the south wished it, slavery would still exist.

 Recent varying verdicts of courts has started a discussion as to the value or life and limb. A judge in this city re- fused the other day to accept the valua- tion of $2000 which jury placed upon a. boys leg. The figure was increased 10 sSoO0 and the judge was satished. short time before this a jury awarded S35, GOO to young woman who hao IDS. a leg in an accident. A higher court reduced the amount to $25,O0O.
 The only explanation of the wide dls- crenancies of verdicts in accident cases is the fact that the law does not take into consideration such items as the par ent's pain and suffering; it seeks cold bloodedly to estimate the pecuniary JOSS which has been sustained by the rela- lives for whose benefit the action IS brought. For instance in the case of a man of 8 who was earning S7OOO year a verdict of s1O0,00o was upheld; sbo'oOo was the award in the case of man or s5 who earned s5000 a year.
