PRINCESS MAKES ARTIST SANE
SCULPTOR GEMITO, TWENTY
YEARS MELANCHOLIC.
Induced by Aosta's Consort to Visit
Palace-Efect Magical to
Restore Reason.

Foreign Correspondence OF The Star.
NAPLES, October II. 1899
The Duchess of Aosta. princess of the
house of Orleans and sister to Queen
Ameie of Portugal. has performed what
may well be regarded miracle.
There lives in Naples a great Italian
sculptor, Vincenzo Gemito, once disciple
and friend OF Meissonier. whose late:
Fife has been clouded by sadness. Some
twenty years ago. owing to overwork and
distressing mental suffering, his reason
became unhinged.
1t was quiet madness. which impeled
the poor sufferer to cxpend all his en-
ergy in the labor of his craft. Gemito
passed these twenty years working hard
at the production of statuettes.
These were real masterpieces which the
sculptor modelled and remodeled time
after time. bringing them to the highest
degree of perfection. But he refused to
leave his studio.
He feared the attacks of fantastic foes
Pigments of his Giiordered brain. lie
took all his meals and even slept in the
studio. amid the products of his dexter
Gus hands.
The Duchess of Aosts frequently paid
visits to the studio of the afflicted sculp-
tor. At last she has succeeded in induc-
ing him to go to the royal palace
One day this week for the first time
since his voluntary withdrawal from the
outside world. Gemito, accompanied by
two relatives. left his house and walked
along the sunny streets of Naples. AS he
passed through the thron;,ed thorough
fares he was respectfully saluted by the
numerous people who recognized him.
At the royal palace Gemito was cheer
fully greeted by the Duke and Duchess
of Aosta. who entertained him for con
siderable time. The effect was magical
Throwing off the depressing gloom OF
years. the aged sculptor returned home
full of joy. declaring he would come out
again and enjoy life.
All Italy is rejoicing over the eXquis-
itely tactful victory of the Duchess OF
Aosta, the effect of which will. perhaps,
be to give back to the world a great
artist.

GENIUSES BAD HUSBANDS.
English Writer Warns Women i
Their Search for Companion.

From the New York Press
Sidney Low. an English writer, warns
all women in search of a husband to shun
a genius Low has written a lengthy
article on the subject. He finds the ge-
MUS is misfit as husband. He has a
list of sixty-eight geniuses. and out of
the lot only twenty he found were pass
able husbands. Several of the twenty.
indeed. such as Fielding, who. after his
wife's death married her maid. were irri-
table and hard to manage. Low suggests
that the genius sees too much of his wife.
The man of letters he says. may or
may not be domeSticated. but he usually
gets an overdose of domesticty. owing to
the nature of his employment and the
conditions under which IL Is carried out.
Most men, from stonemasons to cabinet
ministers. transact their main activities
outside their own homes and aside from
the presence of their wives and children.
The literary genius does his work at
home. He sits in his study. with his
wife. so to speak, outside the door. Not
all wives would resist interruptfng the
composition Of epic by deferrinS till
the late evening the announcement that
the cook was drunk or that the kitchen
boiler had burst; not all geniuses would
accept the interruption In the right
spirit" Still. Low Is not confident that
to drive a genius out of the house to
work would make him acceptable a
husband. for, he says that out of his
sixty-eight specimens. twenty-three were
nothing short of diabolical in their treat
ment of their wives, and that without any
reason of which the outside world had
knowledge. Lows finding that the genius
two times in three fails as a husband,
however falls far short of being trust
worthy guide. He neglects exactly 10 per
cent of the problem when he fails to pass
judgment on the feminine element. What
kind of raging creatures We're those TWEEN
tythree diabolical husbands married to?

Why Do Men Wait on Womenp


Irreverent persons suggest that mans
only object In life is to please woman and
to serve her. Slightly exaggerated This
statement. perhaps: yet there must be
some truth at the bottom of it. Other
wise, why should man wait on woman
at all? Why take pleasure in being
agreeable to her? Why go ont of his
way to assist her? In other words, VIII,
should he be chivalrous?
Chivalry Is the expression of mans rea

though. like other instructive feelings i,

three different stages. In the first on,
he strives to attract Woman's attention
in the second to please her, finally t,

Foreign Correspondence OF The Star.
BERLIN. October H. 1909
The celebrated quack doctor Of Rad

many public honors.
Shephardast was most successful, rs-

great landowner and multimillionaire.
His method of diagnosing complaints
was extremely simple. and evidently APP
pealed to his patients. He examined the
hair Of each patient. and then wrote his
prescriptions. He had four prescriptions,
each of which was harmless.
In spite of the remarkably primitive
character of his treatment, there were
days on which more than thousand
patients clamOred for his advice

TUMULT IN THE SEA.
Terrific Force of Marine Upheaval
OF Cape Horn.

| oFte o1 u
OF Cape Horn.
A sailing ship rounding Cape Horn
was caught in a dead calm. something
almost unprecedented in that stormy
! latitude. The sky was filmed with a
| light haze, and the sea was fiat and
lead colored. About 10 o'clock on the
morning of the second day the ship
began to shake violently, the masts
whipped and bent like fish poles. and
everything movable above and below
came down with clatter. 1t was like
striking rock. only the shock was
less pronounced at first, but increased
in violence during the thirty seconds
it lasted. The sea heaved in oily
swells with strange. hoarse murmur.
and it continued to be agtated after
the tremors ceased.
Half an hour later fish by the thous-
ands began to rise to the surface until
it was covered with them. Forty
seven whales were counted, many cow
fish fully eight feet across, sharks
without number and seals by the hun
dreds. They were evidently stunned
with the force of some terrific marine
upheaval. and when struck with
pole by one of the sailors showed only
faint signs of life. In twenty min
utes after the first fish arose to the
surface they began to drop out of sight
like pieces of lead. Whether they were
stunned and, on recovering, Immediate
ly dived beneath the waves in a panic.
or whether they died from the shock
and, instead of floating as dead fish
do, were drawn under by some sub
marine whirlpool, were scientific ques-
tions too deep for the skipper, but half
dozen of the smaller fish hauled
aboard by the cook for dinner were
quite dead when examined. The calm
continued twenty-four hours longer be-
fore the ocean resumed its usual aspect
and wind from the southeast per-
mitted the ship to continue its course.
