AMERICANS GREATEST
 GLOBE BROTHERS

erl n, October 1.-(Special. .)-That Americans are by far the greatest asset to the German tourist industry is the most striking feature of the season that has just ended. Years ago the English were the greatest globe-trotters, but now Americans are easily first. and the rest nowhere. From the official list of visi- tors kept in every German resort, 1t is possible to show that In some places the Americans have outnumbered the Eng fish by ten to one. In Berlin the propor- ton was four to one, but at Oberammer- gau, where the Passion Play was the greatest attraction, there were ten times as many Americans as English.
 At Austrian resorts, the predominance of Americans was even more striking Twelve Americans to every English tour ist were counted at Carlsbad and Mar ienbad. tasF
 Besides being more numerous, the Americans spend more money than visi- tors from other countries. Where the English spends a shilling the American spends a dollar-four times as much German hotel people have, therefore, learned to cater especially to Americans.

SOCIETY IN NEW YORK
By MARGARET WATTS DE PEYsTER-

New York, October 1.-(Specal. 1.-The recent nervous breakdown of Mrs. Adolph Ladenburg necessitating her talk ing long rest cure emphasizes anew the fact that the pace set by New York society Is pretty nearly the pace that kills The demands on the time and strength of a society woman who is at all popular are most beyond belief and quite beyond the strength of any but the strongest.
 It is not strange, therefore, that the close of the season marks general exodus to the health resorts, in an ef- fort to recuperate sufficiently to meet the demands of the winter.
 Among those better known society peo- pie who have been compelled to slack down are Mrs. Joseph E. Widener, Miss May Van Alon, Mrs. Herbert Hartman, Mrs. Elsie French Vanderbilt, Mrs. Craig Riddle, Miss Edna Barger, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Paul A. Andrews, Miss Van Cutzen, Mrs. Willard s. Brown, Mrs. Reynolds Hitt, Mrs. William E. Carter, and Mrs. Reginald Vanderbilt There are scores of others somewhat less well known either on the sick or near-sick list.
 Miss Eleanor Sears is not among the disabled. This remarkable young woman is perhaps second to none as a hard working society girl, but she thrives on 1t. Perhaps the vigorous outdoor life she loves makes her immune.
 I hear rumors, by the way, that Miss Eleanor may abandon her attitude of indifference to the "male sect.'
 It Is said that Paul Rainey and liar old Vanderbilt are assduous not to say ardent in their wooing, and that Miss Sears may soon decide to make one of them happy. Which one, society says it

ENGLISH PAUPER
 OWNS GOLD MINE

London, October -(Special)-There is at present living in Lewisham, su- burb of London, a man who is in the astonishing position of being pauper in England and the owner of a gold mine in South Africa. According to inquiries made by the guardians, it has been established that after the South African war the man inherited tract of land In that country. which. owing to his poor circumstances he was unable to take over. It has since been dis covered that this land covers gold mine. the value of which may possibly amount to hundreds of thousands of dol lars. Its present owner is very old and in feeble health. and for the last five years has received outdoor relief from the Lewisham guardians.

 and has been exceedingly popular, but

 Rainey. They have been attentive MT. Vanderbilt is said to have shown his de- termination to remain in Newport and
 avow his love. MT. Rainey on the other hand, is thought to have taken the arctic
 hunt as a means of proving his prowess to Miss Sears. If the letter Miss Sears

 Invitations have been sent out by MT. and Mrs. Albert Brown Hilton, of New York, for the marriage of Mrs. Hilton s daughter, Miss Dorothy Carroll Trego, to MT Howard Bissell, of Buffalo, on Wednesday afternoon, October 5. at four o'clock, in Christ church, in Hackensack, New Jersey.

of fields had noticed similar effect, and wondered what could be the cause.
 They then watched the movements of the aeroplanes. which were constantly flying over their fields, and they noticed that when machines passed over field the wind which they raised flattened down the corn on all sides. Their pas sage was unperceived at a height of 800 feet or 600 feet, but when, as often happened, they flew close to the ground, the effect, 1t Is alleged, was disastrous. Baliffs from Versailles were called upon to take note of numerous instances of the passage of aeroplanes, and, backed by these observations, complaint has been lodged against the flying men, who are asked to pay the damages to the crops. Of course the aviators have not had time to reply. They will probably prove that their propellors drive the wind, indeed with greater force, but in a horizontal and not in a vertical direc- ton, and that the crops, therefore, were most likely damaged by other causes.

Cure For Constipation--Trial Free

Constipation is not an imaginary ailment. You know whether you have it or not. No one can argue you into 1t or out of 1t. By the same token, if you take a remedy and 1t cures you, you must be con vinced that 1t was the remedy that did it. Here are some people who give pr. CaIdwelps Syrup Pepsin the credit of curing their constipa- tion-a credit that is important when you consider how many pre- vious attempts they had made with other remedies. Syrup Pepsin Is the recognized peer of all laxatives. 1t is not only a substitute for salts and purgatives. but, by its milder. more scientific action. has done much to lessen their use. It Is the best remedy you can buy for your self and family for any stomach, liver or bowel trouble. All drug gists sell 1t and 1t can be obtained of them at fifty cents and one dollar a large bottle. If you want to test 1t first send your address to pr. Caldwell and he will furnish you a free sample bottle for home trial. Between these testimonials and the offer of free sample bot tie you ought to begin the use of Syrup Pepsin without delay.

CONFUSION ARISES
OVER THE DATE OF
Mk|NlEY'S BIRTH
January % and February 70
Each Given in Official
Life Sketches.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-January 20
is known from one end OF. the United
States to the other as Mckinley Day."
but admirers of the martyred president
will be astonished tt learn that Tan
uary 20 is probably not President Nc
Kinley's birthday anniversary at all.
In one of the congressional directories
issued when Mr.. Mckinley was presi-
len the date of his birth was given
as January 20, 1S43. But in all the
directories published during McKin-
ley's six terms as a member of the
House Of Representatives the date is
given as February 26, 1914.
Sketch Written by Himself.
The first sketch OF Mr.. McKinley's
life, which appears in the directory
issued at the beginning of the first ses-
sion of the Forty-hfth Congress, Mr..
Mckinley wrote himself. There are
two or three editions of the directory
each session, and before each edition
was printed a proof of this sketch was
sent to him for revision, He must have
seen it dozens of times after he origi-
nally wrote it-and a man is usually
supposed to know the date of his W
birth-but there was never suggestion
that the late was wrong. The same
can be said, however. of the date of
January %, published in the directories
during Mr.. McKlnley's term as presi-
dent.
Members of the Ohio delegation will
make a thorough inquiry. If Mckinley
Day is really February 26 they don't
want January % celebrated as such.
The discrepancy was discovered By
Representative James Burke, of Penn
sylvania, who had received an invita-
ton to a Mckinley Day banquet, but
lost the card and undertook to dig up
the date in a congressional directory.
