PRINCE ABDUCTS HIS OWN DAUGHTER Parisians Thought It Was Done for Moving
 Pictures

Paris, November 25.-(Special.)-A couple of days ago there was an abduction in the Avenue du Trocadero, which at the moment was believed to be one of the fantastic events that happen almost every day fin Paris, and which are produced for the cienematograph pictures. It is not stated however, that the abduction in the present case was something more than this, and was in reality a proceeding taken by Prince Louis of Monaco to ob- tain possession of his daughter.
 The circumstances are interesting. For some years there has been a certain amount of dissension between Prince Louis and his father, Prince Albert of Monaco. In consequence of this a. fam fly arrangement was come to by which Prince Louis daughter was placed in charge of Madame Kohn, an intimate friend of the child's grandfather, who lives in the Avenue du Trocadero. Prince Louis had access to his child, and was frequent visitor at Madame Kohns resi- denee. Recently two new governesses were appointed to take charge of the lit- tie princess education.
 Prince Louis lately came to the con- cusion that these ladies were 1nculcdl- ing sentiment hostile to himself in his daughters mind, and he decided, as he was unable to obtain their dismissal, to regain possession of the child. Ac- cordingly he presented himself at Madame Kohns resident about midday on Tuesday last, attended by couple of friends in d motor car Despite the oD- lection of the two governesses, who were the only occupants of the house at the time, Prince Louis took the child and placed her in the car The governesses insisted on accompanying her, but when the Bois de Boulogne was reached the two women were quietly, but firmly, per suaded to get out. The car then drove to pr. Doyan's nursing home in the Rue Piecini, where the princess was placed in charge of that physician, as she is at present suffering from d slight attack of appendicitis. Here her father intends her 10 remain until she is completely recov- cred.
 The whole affair, as already indicated, is the outcome of certain family disagree ments, and it is not expected that any legal proceedings will arise from the incl dent.

INTEREST GROWS IN MISSIONARY WORK Private COnsistOry of IS

 Whole Country Aroused
ABLE JEWISH WOMAN

The general secretary of the Iaymen' s
 Missionary Movement. MT. J. Campbell l White, has issued a message to the l churches of the United States and Can-
 ada, calling attention to the fact that the movement was five years old on No- vernber 15 last. The secretary thinks that the past five years have witnessed the l most extensive and inspiring increase of
 missionary interest during modern times. | Tie greatest series of union meetings for Christian men ever held in North Amer
 ica has occurred during this period. Sev- eral hundred thousand men have been reached directly and many more indi- rectly.
 The movement has proved, thinks the secretary, that intelligent enthusiasm for foreign missions is not hindrance, but help to every other Christian activity. With larger offerings for work abroad nave come larger gifts for work at home. Thousands of mems missionary commit tees have been appointed as a result of it's agitation, and all of these work for both home and foreign missions. The spirit of Christian unity has had a phe nomenal development. Great commun- ions are now cooperating to a degree supposed to be impossible five years ago. Far higher standings of Christian stew ardship are coming to be recognized and adopted That most expensive of all hu- man effort, prayer, is being offered with multiplying frequency by laymen.
 The secretary states that financial gains Jr Aya ba greatest ever made during similar pe riod by the churches of entire nations. Churches of Canada have increased from 8, ,402, ,30o to $2,216O00 annually in their combined home and foreign gifts. Taking United States and Canada together the increase of foreign missions alone has been from SS,0S0,000 to s13350,000 annually, or a gain of about 50 per cent. In addi- ton to this increase to current gifts, more than s5,0OOo GOO have been raised dur ing the past two years in special equip ment or endowment for foreign work.
 The secretary says the movement ex- poets to cooperate with the missionary agencies of the churches, until the work of world evangeization is actually &C., complished. At present there are % reg ular paid secretaries of the movement, and the number is steadily increasing. The movement is not a spasmodic or temporary sentiment. says the secretary, but the expression of a profound and de- termined purpose to rally and hold the men of the churches to the accomplish ment of the greatest task ever committed to human agency.

 The influence of his brother, the Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the throne, prevented his marriage at that period, and the IImperor's refusal to countenance the union induced the archduke to postpone 1t. Since then a severe attack Of influenza has inca pacitated him from further military

LOVE AFFAIRS OF
 HOUSE OF HAPSBURG

Vienna, November 25.-(Special) )--If it is true that all the world loves a lover, the House of Hapsburg should be the heart loved in Europe. It certainly has had more love romances than any two of the other reigning families.
 Vienna has not yet ceased talking of the romance of Archduke Ferdinand Karl and his lady love, the latest of the Haps- burg romanccs.
 The archduke, who is now 43 years of age, has renounced all his titles and dig mites in order that he may marry Frau .s nLuDei, the daughter of Viennese professor of engineering, whom he met in 1900 at a ball.
 The lady for whom the archduke has waited for over 10 years is now 30 years old, ana is distinguished for beauty and talent which brought her into the higher circles of society, though the family is of humble origin and possesses only mod crate means The Archduke Ferdinand Karl, who is very popular, is devoted to art, science and theatricals. The list of members of the House of 1apsburg whose love affairs have at tracted attention, is worth giving: Archduke Rudolph, the Emperor's only son and crown prince who shot himself owing to love affair. Countess Lonyay, his widow, who con- d count, though with the Emperors con sent.

New Cardinals

The consistory announced for Novem- Der 2, is the private one. The date of the public one, when all cardinals in
 Rome assemble, with many other clergy,
 is next Thursday, November 90, our
 Thanksgiving Day. Already it is known
 that an 18th cardinal has been added to
 the first announced list of r. He is Mgr.
 Henrique Almariz Santos. Archbishop
 of Seville. He was born at La Felles. in
 the diocese of Salamanca, Spain. on Sep
 tember p, 1S47; was made Bishop of
 Palencia on January 19, 1893, and Arch
 bishop of Seville on April IS, 1909.
 With the two new Spanish cardinals there will be four resident in that coun- try besides Cardinal Wives y Tuto, a
 member of the curia It is said that the King of Spain requested of the Pope the
 promotion of the Archbishop of Seville, but there was some hesitation at the Vat iean as to the wisdom of creating an- other Spanish cardinal. Hence the de- l lay in the announcement.
 When Mgr. Lugari is created a cardinal | the place of Assessor of the Holy Office will be vacant. This position is one of | the most desirable in the church in Rome The Pope is himself the prefect | of this congregation. Cardinal Rampola | ually promoted to the sacred college after | few years service. Mgr. Domenieo Serafni, Archbishop of Spoleto, is men l toned for the place. He was born in Rome on August 3, 1852, and is Monk of the Benedictine Monastery at Monte | Cossino the greatest of the monasteries | of that order. He was at one time the general of the Benedictines and was apostolic delegate to Mexico, when by special desire of the pope he studied the religious situation there.
 Plus x has high regard for Mgr. Ser afni, so much so that some well in- ! formed persons believe that he may be
 made cardinal soon. They go as far as to predict that, in such case, Sera- | dni would be named as one of the prom l nent candidates for future Pope and gos-
 sip says that Plus x has mentioned him l as possible successor.

To Sell Tolstoy's Estate

St petersbur November 25.-(Special)- Tolstoy's estate at Yasnoya is the subject of tragic comedy. Tolstoy desired 1t to be divided among the peasants. His fam ily-who in business matters did not often sec eye to eye with him-want to sell it to the government. They are asking s250 eco, but the government appraisers fixed the outside value at $100,000 The govern ment, however, is willing to pay S250,000 for the estate as a monument to the fllustfi- ous dead, but they will not submit to a measure of control of the family.

 Churches have long had sermons. pray CTS, Psalm reading, Bible lessons, an- thems and hymns. Bidding prayers form new, yet old variety in public religious worship, and are being introduced not only on great occasions, but into ordinary Sunday morning services.

Able Jewish Woman

Miss Sadie American is president of the New York section of the Council of Jew. ish Women She is also executive sec. retary of the Council of Jewish Women of the United States. Aggressive and able, accustomed to attack big problems and to solve them, she has long known not only warm friends, but also warm and often active enemies. The rumor is that some of the latter in the National Council would not object were she to resign, or be superseded by another woman next year.
 In part to show her standing at home, and in part to honor her for really great things achieved Miss American has just been given substantial testimonials from Jewish women of New York Among the svers of these testimonials are some Of the most prominent leaders in Jewish so- oiety. With the testimonials were ad- lresses, one personal and the other gen. eIal, recording achievements of Jewish women of New York under her leader ship.
 The list of these achievements is a long one, and includes an advance in member slip frcm 300 to 1700, the founding of two great charities, one for wayward girls and one for sick girls out of employ ment, remarkable home work for the blind, through which they earn money for support the founding of an immi- grant aid bureau, and the successful op- eration of several employment agencies for Jewish girls.

These prayers are not put into prayer services on week nights, but are employed oftenest on great occasions, and sometimes they are ncw forming part of regular Sunday morning worship. Bidding prayers had their origin at period when by no means all occupants of pews were able to read. ..
