tRUMORS OF ANEW
 TRIPLE ALLIANCE Germany, England and the United States Involved A SENSATIONAL TRIAL Germany Aroused by Details of Crime In Which Bold Adventurer
 Killed Mother of His
 Alliance

Berlin, January S-A most interest ing bit of gossip is current in high off, fieial and diplomatic circles which fl true may have a most important bear ing on the development of the world g history in the near future.
 It is no less than that the Kaiser has set his mind on bringing about new triple alliance which will include Ger many, England and the United States. Whether there is anything more than gossip in the report it Is, of course, irh- in all seriousness.
 It is pointed out that such combina- ton would be able absolutely to domi- nate the world. In naval strength it would be irresistible. While there is no conceivable combination of powers which could hope to successfully cope with it on land, more than this it would have almost monopoly in finances.
 With these three great powers work ing together war would be practical ly impossible and they could if they would impose on the world policy of disarmment and of international arbi- tratlon. By just what means the Kaiser hopes to bring about such an alliance. if he does, is not known, but 1t is believed in Germany if he really sets his mind 10 do 1t he will.
 The sensation of the hour in Germany is a murder trial, in which one of the dramatis personae is a young lady known as "the mable bride" Among the inhabitants of the little seaside town of zoppot, was. an elderly widow of noble lineage, Won Laszewski by name. Like many other German ladies of aris- tocratic birth, but fin reduced circum- stances. she sought to increase her in- come by keeping boarding house for holiday visitors, and in this enterprise she was helped by her daughter, Sts- phanie, a young woman of 2S years.
 Tn girl however, did not willingly associate either with the changing guests who went and came under her mothers roof. or with the young peo- pie of the district A luxuriance of att tire not common in those parts of Prussia showed that she was not indif- ferent to the opinions of others, and helped to concentrate public attention upon her. By reason of her pallor and her reputed frigidity, she was popularity known as the marble bride.
 One day she no longer walked alone, but had 4 male companion, with whom she was now frequently seen. He was man well on in the forties the deep tan of whose rough and uningratiating features was all the more noticeable when set off by pallid complexion | of the lady at his side. The person | aiity of the stranger who had sue | ceeded in breaking through the crust of | icy reserve with which the marble bride had enveloped herself. was soon the general topic Of conversation in the town. By degrees it leaked out that he was Johannes Gaffke. d native of those parts, born in q neghboring vil- lage. who had left his home at the age of 15, and after 30 years of nomatic life had returned to settle down and

T haven't been coasting for years, ' said Peggy Sunday afternoon, when the snow covered the ground like an Ermine Mantle and bunch of people suggested that they knew a beautiful hill not far away, where we could have some dandy coasting.
 Neither have T. I added for polite ness, and looked wistfully at all the new magazines and books piled high up on the library table before the blazing fire and wondered if I wasn't foolish to ac- cept such an invitation.
 Then we got busy, and as I was the one who talked more about getting cold" than anybody .else they made me put on everything in the house but the kitchen stove and off we started in a great big automobile. for the hill the men knew where there was some dandy coasting''

GENTLE REFERENCE : TO SOUTHERN BREEDING

Pearson's magazine is publishing an article, in serial form, relative to the 400. The well known families are dis cussed in a dignlfied, interesting manner, void of the jeering mood which has some- times characterized references to promi- nent families, whether as to their man ners or morals. In the course of the dis cussion, which began in the November number, it was pleasant to note the fol- lowing reference to the south:
 'The only gentle blood indigenous to this country is in the south, and south- ern society has always deightfully ostra- eized the extravagances and display of the New York 400."
