A MAN AGAINST A NATION.
Tho Most Curious European War That
Was Ever Waaed.

The Most Curious European War That
Was Ever Waqed.
The most curious European war ever
waged was that which in the sixteenth
century. the period of the reformation
and the renaissance, was carried on
single handed for between five and six
years between "a bankrupt grocer Of
Berlin and the elector of Saxony. who
was the most powerful German prince
of the pericd. The grocer's name was
Hans Kohhase. and the immediate
cause of the quarrel was the arresting
of two Of his horses in the electors
territory. he being a subject Of the
elector of Brandenburg. Failing to
get redress. he adopted what was then
a perfectly legal expedient and de
clared formal war ON the realm Of
Saxony. The declaration was accepted
in due form. and the war began.
The extraordinary part Of the story
is that the grocer kept the war up for
nearly six years practically single
handed and even went to the extrem-
ity of declaring war on his own sOver-
eign in the meantime before he was
caught He burned farms and even
villages. employed mercenaries after
the fashion Of the times and made
himself the terror of the district. He
was finally Influenced to stop hostili-
ties by Luther. and after he had taken
the sacrament from his hands he was
betrayed into a further act of hostility
by treachery and. being captured, suf-
fered death on the wheel after refus-
ing IN act Of grace which granted hin
the painless and honorable death .
the sword. Tie story is perhaps the
strangest of all tine romanres of tha'
romantic Westminster Gazette.

was slave to Gypsy King.

Stranger than fiction, and almost un
believable, is the remarkable deathbeC
statement OF Miss Jessie Habersham
daughter OF H. G. Habersham, a prom
inent canning broker OF Baltimore
Nd, who died at the Seton hospta
in Cincinnati, o.. a few hours after
giving birth to baby girl.
According to the girls statement
she was stolen from her home in Bal
timore five years ago by a band o
gypsies, sold to one of the tribe fol
5000, and then, under hypnotic inhJ.
ence, compelled to be the slave and
wife OF the king Of the gypsies.
The long search of the past five
years in every niche and corner OF
the United States. it is said. has ruined
the girls fathers health, so that the
sister superior, who notified him Of
his daughters death by telegram, re.
ceived a telegram stating that he was
too sick to come to Cincinnati at the
present time to prosecute the abduc.
tors. The shock of the girls abduction
it was further said. was too great for
her mother, who died several months
afterward
Miss Habersham was twenty-five
years old. Her large brown eyes and
perfect features showed that she had
been very pretty, but her years OF suf-
fering had emaciated her face. She
said that she had been enticed away
from home by an old gypsy woman,
who belongtd to a tribe that was stay
ing near the Habersham home. She
was then sold by this woman to her
nephew for 5000 and compelled by him
to work hard and to endure more than
the hardships Of the ordinary gypsies.

The ring had been lost by Miss Har-

COUNTRY AWAKE TO DANGER
Increase Of sanatoria and Hospitals
for consumptives Is Most
Gratifying.

The growth of the crusade against
tuberculosis in the United States is
shown to good advantage in the two
directories that have been issued by
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis and
the one in preparation. The first tu-
beculosis directory published in 1904,
by the tuberculosis committee of the
New York Charity Organization Socie-
ty and the National Association listed
1873 sanatoria and hospitals for con-
sumptives in the United States, for
some Of which preliminary provision
only has been made, The combined
capacity Of these institutions was
only 5000 beds. Thirty.two special
dispensaries and thirty.nine anti.tu-
berculosis organizations summed up
practically all Of the fighting force
enumerated in the first directory.
The second directory was prepared by
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis and
published under the auspices of the
Russell Sage Foundation in August,
1908. This directory listed $40 sana-
toria and hospitals. an increase OF
107 from the former directory; 1853
dispensaries, an increase of 1876; and
1876 associations. an increase Of 1856.
The number Of hospital beds listed
in 1908 was 14,014.
The new directory that will be Is
sued soon, will list over 400 sanatoria
and hospitals with bed capacity OF
nearly $4,000; more than 800 special
tuberculosis dispensaries; and fully
$50 anti.tuberculosis associations and
committees. Since the first directory
was issued in 1904, the increase in
the number Of agencies fighting con.
sumption aggregates nearly 500 per
cent.
The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis
would like to get in touch with all
agencies engaged in the fight against
tuberculosis, In order that they may
be listed In the new directory.

AN INToLERABLE ITCHING

Just about two years ago, some
form Of humor appeared on my scalp.
The beginning was slight itching but
1t grew steadily worse until, when I
combed my hair. the scalp became
raw and the ends Of the comb.teeth
would be wet with blood. Most Of the
time there was an intolerable itching,
in a painful. burning way, very much
as a bad. raw burn. II deep, will itch
and smart when first beginning to
heal. Combing my hair was positive
torture. My hair was long and tan
gled terribly because Of the blood and
scabs. This continued growing worse
and over half my hair fell out. was

Poulard is becoming one Of the
most popular silks for fall wear. 1t
Is used not only for entire dresses and
for trimmings. but also for lining
loose coats, being especially favored
with those Of shantung and like ma.
terials. It Is an excellent material to
choose for a frock for weekend visits.
as It packs well. and is easily shaken.

freshness.
Plain foulard is supplemented for
these purposes with the dotted and
striped wcaves and those printed In
tiny flowers or In oriental designs.
Altogether It Is wise choice for the
woman who must be economical In

REMOVING THE YELLOW TINT
How Delicate Embroidery, Long Pack
ed, May Be Restored to
Proper Color.

A young woman who was given hall
a dozen antique hand-embroidered
round collars and under sleeves OF
exquisite stitchery found them Just
the style to use with round.neck and
kimono sleeves.
The drawback was the yellow tint
from years OF packing. An old col
ored laundress succeeded In whiten.
Ing them without acids or weaking
fabrics made delicate with age. This
is the way to do It:
The pieces are put into cold water,
which Is thick with pure white soap
and drop OF bluing. This is allowed
to come to the boil. Remove the artl-
cles at once. rinse through several
lukewarm waters, finally through a
biuing water. and put on the grass
while wet 10 bleach.
Do not rub or squeeze hard. Some
times It is necessary to repeat the
washing and boiling II the pieces are
very yellow.
When bleached put the right side
down on the ironing board. smooth
edges into place and iron under q
linen cloth. Do not use too hot an
iron, as old materials scorch easily.
II the grass is dusty put pieces on q
clean towel. They bleach better when
fiat on the grass. though sometimes
they need an after rinsing.
Never permit old embroidery to be
casually done up. II you cannot do

Flood cIeanses Paris.

Paris, Feb. THE fall of the river
Seine was more rapid today. The ap
pearance of the city is approaching the
normal, but the subways system is still
imperative. Water remains in the
tubes, which, after they have heer
emptied, must be cleaned and disinfect-
ed. The progress toward the restora-
tion Of the lighting, telephone and tel
egraph lines is slow. The work of dis
infection and other precautions against
an epidemic of typhoid has been 80
thorough that some of the newspapers
predict that Paris will not only es-
cape contagion but will emerge from
the flood cleaner than before.

ports that from the examinations
which he has been able to make, few

Despite the attempts of some of the
opposition papers to make it appear
hat dissensions prevail among the
y arious relief organizations, investiga-
tion indicates that all are cooperating
with zeal. Foreign contributions to
the relief fund today reached total of
about 100000.

Seaports Need go Submarines for
Defence in Time of War.
Washington, Feb. 5.-Ten submar-
ines year for the next FIVE years is
the program of naval construction for
the Pacific Coast defenses that has
been prepared by the members of con-
gress from the states of the Pacific
Coast.
This will be insistd upon strongly at
an early date before the house commit
tee on naval affairs.
Delegations from Oregon, Washing
ton and California have organized to
press this claim. Representatives
Hayes, of California; Ellis, of Ore
gon, and Humphrey, of Washington,
were appointed by the Pacific Coast
delegation to lay their plans before
the naval committee. Mr.. Hayes
strengthened his position in his argu-
ment by quoting from the report of the
naval board of strategy and other gov
ernment documents.
"The Pacific Coast is in a defense
less condition" declared Representa-
tive Hayes. "In San Francisco Bay
the current is so strong that it is next
to impossible to protect the entrance
to the harbor with mines."
