 One of the worlds greatest singers is most impressionable where ladies are concerned this trait has brought much trouble upon him. A few days ago, the singer caught sight of beautiful lady walking along the promenade at Bath | iem With his usual ardor he endeavored
 to force his acquaintance upon her only to meet with rebuff. He made another
 attempt the following day. The lady's 1 husband was following on behind and | on coming up gave him a severe punch | ing and kicking. For some days the
 singers friends missed him from his us-
 ual haunts as he had a pair of beauti-
 full black eyes to fix up.
 The annual meeting of the Navy league at Nuremberg on Sunday, resolved it. l self into demonstration in favor of | the addition on one large cruiser more l a year from 1912 onwards than is includ- 1 ed in the programme of construction.
 The Vossische Zeitung recently published
 leading article severely critisizing the l league, complaining that a representa- l ingtive of the admiralty attended the

 dsturbance of public opinion, especially
 in England.
 Herr Edward Richter, of Jena, has been captured by brigands in the woods I of the Olympus range, near Kokinopoulo
 He was traveling on behalf of the Geo. | graphical societies of Jena and Berlin | In a telegram he says he was well, but | in captivity and asked that steps might | be taken to raise the ransom demanded of him. His employers have telegraphed 1 to the consul, stating that they are pre- pared to make any kind of material sac rifices that may be necessary to secure | his release.
 The railway administration of 3Saar- | brucken, Germany, has given orders to | its officials that ladies whose hats are | transfixed with long hatpins are to be | requested to remove them, and If they decline they are to be prevented from l travelling in the trains and to be called l upon to leave the stations. If they re- | fuse they will be arrested.
 The monarch aims at nothing less than | the elimination of all Latin phraseology 1 from scientific nomenclature and the sub stitution therefore of German words. If the Kaiser is successful it will mean the | complete rewriting of all scientific works | in German. The present Latin forms are | comparatively simple and easily under stood For instance, the term ''fraktion- | ierte distilation' (fractional distillation) as it now appears in German, would be- come "bruchstuckweise fussige Verdam- pfungs ngsstoffaufsaugung gu verschiedenen Warmestarken.
 l A few days ago the crown prince was
 returning to this city by auto from the
 maneuvering ground and was obliged to stop few minutes for a slight repair

 den was causing the man trouble, stopped | him and offered to carry it to its destna | ton in his auto The barber gladly accepted the offer. | The irons were placed in the car, and it was only when they had been set down
 at inn that he saw who 1t was who helped him. He almost collapsed from 1 joy upon learning that the heir apparent
 had acted as expressman for him. Re- l | Recent revelations concerning the nobil- lity are causing almost as much of stir | as the famous Round Table disclosures and criminal prosecutions probably will
 be instituted against noblemen who have entered into nominal marriages for
 money with women of shady reputations l The Zeitung says there are no less than seven genuine countesses whose &C., quaintance can be made without any par ticular ceremony in the red light quarter They got their titles as follows: A paper published recently advertisements stating | that several barons, counts a fnaraufs desired to wed women who have money. Seven women applied, while two other women inserted advertisements in the l same paper, giving a regular schedule of | the prices they were prepared to pay for the titles. The prices were not high, but | they got a number of answers and ar engagements for the marriages were soon in progress The marriage contracts con- tained stipulations that the parties should
 separate after marriage and the husbands
 should not further interfere with the manner of life of their wives, nor make inquiries into their conduct"
 Later the barons secured undefended or
 collusive divorces, Tt is said this gang of noblemen have married dozens of women
 and are getting rich in the business. An operation has been performed on the injured knee of Prince Joachim of Prus- sia, who met with an accident at the re- cent maneuvers. The effusion of blood was removed.
