ABDUL HAND Los.
|hG HIS MIND
DEPOSED SULTAN OF TURKEY IN
STUPEFIED FEAR OF DEATH
AND HAS NO MEMORY OF LAST
EVENTS OF HIS REIGN.

London, June 22.-'There Is ex-
cellent Young Turkish authority for
the statement that ex-Sultan Abdul
Hands health is completely break
ing; that he is showing serious signs
of mental collapse and that his death
is a question certainly Of no more
than months and perhaps only of
weeks. He has never recovered, 1t Is
said, from the condition of semi
stupefaction in which he was found
by the officers who visited him at
Yildiz to take him to Salonica, but
sits for hours at a time muttering to
himself, regardless of remarks ad-
dressed to him and apparently uncon-
scious of his attendants presence.
Some of the latter doubt If he even
realizes that he is no longer at Yildiz,
though 1t is clear he has the events
during the period following Constan-
|tinople's capture by the Young Turks
still In his mind, for he is obviously
in constant fear Of death. He trem-
bles at the slightest incident. and
what can be understood Of his NUT
terings relates almost wholly to teh
perils by which he believes himself
to be surrounded, to his services to
Turkey and to the ingratitude with
which the country has requited him.

: JOAN Of ARC
At HARVARD

Boston, June 22.-Crowds of Wis
itors from New York and other cities
have arrived here. to attend the
grand spectacular performance Of
Schiller's Joan of Arc" at the Har-
ward stadium In Cambridge this
evening. The performance, which will
be on a scale of unprecedented mag
nitude and promises to be the great
est and most brilliant dramatic
spectacle ever seen in the United
States will be given under the aus
pices of the German department of
Harvard university, by SPECIAL COM
pany headed by Miss Maude Adams
and under the artistic management
of Charles Frohman of New York.
Schiller's "Joan of Arc" the Eng
lish version of which will form the
basis of the spectacular dramatic
production, has been performed hun
dreds of times in various theatres
in Europe and, occasionally, in the
United States, but even the largest
theatres and companies were utter
" inadequate for the representation
of the heroic scenes and action Of the
drama, as contemplated by the poet
author
Tonight, for the first time in his
tory, the dramatic figure of the in
spired Maid Of Orleans will appear in
setting of adequate proportions.
TThe enormous arena Of the Stadium
will be the scene upon which several
thousand men, carefully trained and
drilled, will give a realistic represen-
tation of the battle on the iefile near
Orleans, in which the French were
led to victory over the English by the
inspired Joan of Arc. 1t will be a
gorgeous spectacle, this battle, In
which several thousand men, among
them 200 knights and spearmen in
full armor, CARRIED, ACQUIRED, armed
and otherwise equipped historically
true to the style and type Of the
early part of the fifteenth century
will enact a wonderfully realistic
battle scene. the like has never been
seen at any dramatic performance
in this country or in Europe.
OF course, Miss Maude Adams, the
"Joan of Arc" of tonight's spectacu'
lar performance, will be the principal
character in the magnificent scenes
of the presentation. Dressed In full
armor and mounted on snow-white
charger of Arab blood, she will gal

YOUNG MAN LEADS
AGAIN
G. COUNTESS, NEW
PRESIDENT OF CHICAGO STOCK
EXCHANGE, HAS MADE MARK
AT AGE OF 81 YEARS.

Chicago, June 22-The young
mans leadership in business gets
another boost by the election of
Frederick D. Countiss at 81 to the
presidency of the Chicago Stock ex-
change, an institution whose trans
actions have grown in recent years to
reach tens of millions annually and
seem now on the eve of a squirt.
President Countiss' predecessor, Will
liam H. Colvin, also is young man
and as team, president and vice
president of the exchange, they have
applied the young mans enterprise
and energy to the upbuilding of ex-
change business with marked sue
cess.
From messenger in a bank Mr..
Countiss advanced to a bank book
keeper and then to teller and at &c
became a member of a stock and
bond house and is now the senior
member of firm of S. B. Chaplin &
Co., which holds memberships on
the New York and Chicago Stock ex-
changes, the Chicago Board of Trade
and the New York Cotton exchange.

MYSTERY Wells ES-
TATE Of SUICIDE
NO ONE CAN DISCOVER WHAT
HAS BECOME OF SMALL FOR
TUNE LEFT BY MRS. RUIZ
WILLIAMSON MAY TALK.

London, June ga reporter of
the Hearst News Service has search
ed the records of Somerset House,
where all wills made in England are
filed, but has been unable to find the
will of Mrs. Mary Agnes Ruiz, who
committed suicide on May 16 in her
splendid mansion in Grosvenor
street, leaving jewels, gowns, plate,
linen, etc, matching her position in
life. The new mystery in this extra
ordinary case is what became of the
Ruiz property.
Mrs. Ruiz owned horses, an cleo
trio brougham, a powerful automo-
bile, jewelry, gowns, etc., of an ap-
proximate value OF $4,000, all of
which disappeared on the day of the
funeral. The reporter ascertained
that they were shipped to Paris, but
the name of the consignee can not
be learned. Whether he is the mys-
terious G. r. Williamson, who man
aged to throw the pail of secrecy
over all the proceedings, from en-
gaging Mrs. Ruiz house to paying
her funeral bills, nobody seems to
know
| AS Mrs. Ruiz died within English
jurisdiction something may be heard
officially about the sudden and mys-
terious disappearance of her effects.
English officials are interested be-
cause they will want to know how
even small fortune disappeared
from the country without their
knowledge and without the collec-
ton of death duties, which nobody in
England ordinarily escapes. All of
Mrs. Ruiz household bills were paid
promptly, so the tradesmen in the
Ineighborhood are satisfied. The only
| bill unpaid is the gas bill which was
seen on the hall table unopened.
AS the English officials know that
Mrs. Rpiz died leaving an estate we'll
within the limitations of the death
duties law, there may be an official
! inquiry seeking to unravel the mys-
terry of the disappearance of the sui
cide's fortune after the tragedy. The

WORK Of GE0[0G-
|CA[ COMMISSION
PROF. LANDES TELLS OF WORK
COLUMBIA RIVER THE BASIS
OF PHOTOGRAPHIC SURVEYS
IN WASHINGTON.

In conjunction with the govern
mental departments, the state geolo-
logical commission is getting into
action all along the line, and the in
vestigations and researches which
are designated to reveal, develop and
conserve the natural resources of the
state of Washington, according to the
statements of Professor Henry Landes
of the state university, state geolo-
gist and president of the geological
commission.
Professor Landes states that the
general scope Of the work has been
laid out along four different lines or
branches, all of which are already
getting busy" The first department
of the work consists of making the
Typographical surveys. Two parties
are in the field, each working on a
basis triangle, one located at Mt
Vernon, Skagit county, and the
other at Quincy, in the new county
of Grant, in the central part of east
ern Washington. When these lines
have been run out with the incest
exactness. they will be used as the
basis for the remaining surveys OF
the state.
In this, as most of the other work
OF the commission, the federal gov
eminent. which is cooperating with
the state and paying one-half the ex-
pense of the work, is furnishing the
experts from their department, only
the minor positions of ordinary work
being filled by men employed by the
commission.
In the second department, that OF
the photographic surveys, the forces
are taking the field, beginning down
on the Columbia river and working
their way northward into the Cas-
cades, as the snow melts off the
slopes. The work is for measuring
of streams and to ascertain the water
power resources of the Cascades.
Two parties are about ready to make
the start at the Columbia river.

lop into the fray. bearing the banner
OF the Virgin, directing the French
forces ana leading them to glorious
victory. She will be supported by a
competent company OF players and
about 1900 supernumerries.
An idea may be formed Of the
magnificence of the production, from
the fact that the properties require
500 full suits of armor, trappings
for 200 chargers, costumes, equip
ments and arms of various kinds for
1900 men, in addition to the scenery
and thousand and one accessories
necessary to make the presentation
as lifelike and historically true to
art and the most lavish expenditure
of money can make it.
After many weeks of rehearsing in
New York the entire company, with
its trainload of scenery and proper
ties arrived here yesterday and was
temporarily housed at the Colonial
theatre, where the final rehearsals OF
the principal actors were held, while
the army of supernumeraries was
taken to the Stadium for its final
rehearsals Of the intricate battle.
scenes upon the actual scene of to-
nights spectacle The large special
orchestra, which will play a special
arrangement of Beethoven's "Eroica'
symphony at the performance to-
night, also rehearsed at the Stadium
yesterday and today.
1t is said that Charles Frohmar
regards the Harvard performance as
the most ambitious act of his long
career as a manager. 1t will Ger.
tainly be the high-water mark Of the
distinguished stage career Of Miss
Adams. Mr.. Frohman was determin
ed to make this performance an ar.
tistic success and gave carte blanche
to Miss Adams and the technical
managers of the spectacle. Never
was money spent more lavishly upor
a dramatic performance and the tota
cost will be enormous.
! The entire financial proceeds from
the performance-and they are ex
pected to be large--will be devoted
! to the Germanic Museum of Harvard
university, which is one of the chiet
monuments to the administration o.
the recently retired President Charles
Eliot. The arrangements for the
performance were made by a com
mittee of the German department e
Harvard, under whose auspices the
spectacle will be given. Every de
tail was carefully worked up by the
artist, John w. Alexander, ably as
sisted by Miss Maude Adams and Mr.
! Charles Frohman.
