TURKISH WOMAN
 ASSERTS FREEDOM

Constantinople, April 2.-(Special.)-A daughter of Abdul Hamid, the deposed Sultan, has won victory for the cause of women's freedom In Turkey. Princess Chadye, who is only Is years old, was recently brought here from Salonika. where her father and his household arc located, to be welded to Namih Boy, son of the ex-grand visier, with whom marriage had been arranged for. her. But the young princess, showing more. spirit than most Turkish women, refused to marry a man she did not love. t.ss
 Her protest against the marriage took the very modern form of writing to the newspapers, saying that she had not been consulted in the matter of her mar riage and was determined not to. submit to compulsory marriage. Her letter was published and the effect was to bring official notice to the press that the marriage would not take place. The au- thorities gave in to the princess Will in order to avoid a scandal. .,

FATTEST MAN
 IN THE WORLD

Paris, April 2.-(Special. )-According to the statements of a contemporary, mag istrate who has recently died in this city was the fattest and heaviest man in the world He claims the magistrate weighed S07 pounds; that he was so stout that he could neither walk nor get into a carriage, and that he proceeded to and from his office in a two-wheeled car, which was lowered with the shafts in the air, so as to enable him to place his back on the floor and be raised after desperate exertion. A strong horse was then har- messed to the car, and so the magistrate made the little journeys in a recumbent position. It Is added that a window had to be demolished to get the coffin out of the house for the funeral and that, as no hearse could have met the emergency a huge and very solid cart had to be used to take 1t to the church and the ceme- tery

tracting rain, and recall how a torrential downpour spoiled the cheerful merrymak- ing of the Englinton tournament and marred the magnificence of the church pageant But. the mercury cannot be all ways falling. even In the British Isles and the English summer at It's best Is something to rejoice the heart of the gods.
 London as city of pleasure has beyond question incomparable attractions It's hotels today are the best in the world. and their prices compare favorably with any abroad. The transit system of our capital, once d stumbling block to the tourist. is now at once fast and efficient, owing to the development of the tubes and the, abundance of taximeter cabs. No capital. except perhaps Paris. has such beautiful scenery in its immediate neigh borhood, and no capital boasts such charming parks. The belief that London Is a city of gloom is dying rapidly. Even the fogs are disappearing. The only menace to a season of exceptional attrac- tions is the fearful possibility of a fresh general election.

MOST PRIMITIVE
 RACE OF PEOPLE

Berlin. April 2.-(Special.)- )-The most primitive race of people on, earth says Professor Molz, the ethnologist, are the Cooboos, who inhabit Southern Sumatra They are Nomads of the forest, living casually on what food they can find At night they sleep in holes or under shell ter rudely made of large leaves
 The Cooboos have no industries, tools, implements, utensils, or domestic animals. They simply wander about the virgin forest in small groups searching for food. They appear to have no religion, no tribal system and no instinct for family life. When a Cooboo dies the corpse is left just where it falls.

London, April 2.-(Speeial.)- "Salome, :" the opera by Richard Strauss, is going through various vicissitudes at the hands of the censor before it Is produced in England. The censorship regulation which prevent the representation of Bible stories on the stage. has hitherto operated against the production But now, for the second time, the ban has been removed-and 1t is whispered that a command" from high quarters reached the lord chamberlain to that effect.

LAUGH ON THE CHIEF

Berlin. April 2.-(Special 1.-The pilgrim age of King Peter of Servia is being watched by Germany with no little inter- est. Following as it does the series of conferences between Balkan rulers and the recent visit to St Petersburg of King Ferdinand of Bulgaria, it is believed to be of much more importance than would naturally attach to the travels of a toy Balkan King.
 It is understood here that after his visit to St. Petersburg it is the intention of the Servian monarch to go to Vienna, Rome and Constantinople, with possible visits to Athens and Bucharest.
 That all these recent events in St. Petersburg and the near east mean a Slav alliance with Russia as the leading spirit is not doubted here. It is regarded as equally certain that only the fear of Ger many prevents the provocation of Tur- key to war by Bulgaria, which would mean the elimination of Turkey from Europe.
 Germany seeing nothing in this for her at the present time will not permit such war if it can possibly be avoided. She has practically, though unofficially, put Bulgaria and Russia on notice that in the event they force war Germany will play the part played by England after the last Russo-Turkish war and see that the victory, should one be gained, will be fruitless.
