intrusted with the task Of reorganziug the

available. These rooms will IN the future
be opened to the public only i'm turn on
one or two days of the week. The museum
henceforth will be opened at II o'clock in
the morning instead Of at 9.
To prevent the recurrence Of a theft like
that Of the Mona Lisa, a rule has been
made that no picture may he removed
from the wall without written order
signed by the curator and which must be
left with the guardian ir charge OF the
room who keeps it until the picture is re-
turned to its place
NJ. Pujalet decided to furnish the staff
of night watchmcu with two watchdoss,
and selected them at the police kennels at
Charenton. The animals. who combine
ferocty with sagacity, answer to the names
of Jack and Milford. the first being of
Greenlandish origin and the second haiHus
from Belgium. The dogs will accompany

Word comes from Paris that the corps
de ballet at the opera there Is up in
arms a new ballet master-a Russian,
of course-has just been appointed, and
he threatens to abolish the tutu The
hallerina would rather die than discard
her short horizontal nounces and put
on long clinging skirts, or at least some
would. The Russian ballet master, on
the contrary, is not fond of the tutu.
The question arises, VIII he do away
with it? He will probably restrain its
use and keep it within bounds. Every
one acknowledges that the short, hounced
skirt is often absurd, but nobody can
be found to maintain that it is not some
times the only wear for ballerina.
Nine Mariquita, famous ballet mis-
tress. points out that. while the question
of the abolition of the tutu is about
twenty years old. the tutu itself barely
dates back more than half a century, to
1860. The fact is that for every one
except the star the tutu will be discour-
aged but for the star the tutu is often
essential, and the new Russian ballet
master at the Paris opera would not
dream of banning it from her. Indeed,
it often figures in the Russian ballets,
and Nine Pavlowa, for one, dances some
Of her best dances in the classic, short
frilled petticoats.

GIVES NEW SHOULDER JOINT
Prof. Kuttner Successfully Trans
plants One from Dead Man.

Berlin, Sept. 22.-The remarkable sue
cesses Of American surgeons in transplant
ing organs Of the human body have awak-
ened much interest among German sur
geons who are doing similar work. Pro-
fessor Hermann Kuttner, of Bresau Uni
versity has recently succeeded in giving a
patient new shoulder joint through trans
plantation. The patient was suffering from
a tuberculous shoulder joint, which it was
found impossible 10 treat by the usual
method of cutting away the diseased tissue.
The surgeon, therefore, decided to trans
plant a Joint from q man who had just
died from water on the brain.
The Joint was removed six hours after
death and kept in a certain solution six
teen hours at a temperature just above
freezing; then. after o bacteriological eX-
animation, it was inserted in the place Of
the tuberculous shoulder joint, both bail
and socket Of which had been removed.
The wound healed without any innamma-
ton developing.

GERMANS PRONE TO LITIGATE
More than 100000 Trivial
Gases at Law Last Year.

Berlin, Sept 22.-EXcesstye litigation is
coming TO be recognized as one Of the
worst habits of the German people as Il
whole. \ statisticidn has recently found
that during the year above 10000 cases
at law were Of the NEST trivial character
so-called "bagatelle cases" As a conse-
quence of this prediction of the people to
appeal to the courts about trihing matters
the number Of judges is relatively much
greater in Germany than in Anglo-Saxon
countries There are not fewer than 1914
Judges I'm Germany, or about one for every
$500 OF the population. In Berlin alone
there are LIS judges.
Just now the government is occupied
with a bill for the reform Of judicial pro-
cedure, which is I'm part designed to check
excessive litigation.
one cause for the pressure Of work at
the courts IS to be found in the fact that
mayors Of cities and police officials have
no judicial functions in Germany. Litiga-
ton is also encouraged by the reasonable
ness Of lawyers charges as well as the
costs collected by the courts themselves.
Lawyers fees are strictly regulated in civil
cases according to a scale based upon the
amount Of money involved

10y cable 10 The Tribune. ]

Paris, Sept 30-The gloom and de-
spondency of leading bankers here in
regard to the ultimate consequences Of
Italy's stand and deliver policy in Tripoli
are only partly reflected by the depreci-
alton of government bonds and banking
securities on the Bourse.
Heavy falls are noted all along the
line, especially in Italians, Greeks and
Austro- Hungarians. Turkish unified
have fallen from to points, but are
frmer than might be expected, owing 70
the fact that financially Turkey is in the
leading strings of the great powers, the
bulk of Turkish loans being under the
control of the international Debt Coun-
ell.
Three million dollars in gold has beer
withdrawn from Paris banks for Con

The tendency Of French investors to
take up United States railroad securi-

strike i'm the Illinois Central machine

suits against the Steel, Sugar, Copper
and other combinations for violation Of

Shocks the Germans.

former Crown Princess Of SaXony, has been
much discussed In Germany whore the
book has made painful impression and
las been generally condemned by the news
papers as grave breach Of common
LOYALTY 20 cid friends and relatives.
Much curiosity was felt as TO what ac-
ton the Saxon court would take in view
f the publication, since the contract be-
tween il and the former Crown Princess,
under which she receives an annuity of
nearly $4,000 from the court, contains
clause restraining her from publishing any
thing against her former husband.
II Is understood. however, from Dresden
advices that the King decided at once TO
take no notice Of the book, believing that
the best course toward his former wife
would be to let her choose her own way
TO destroy the remnants Of popularity that
she enjoys with the Saxon people.
