Monarchy and Literature.
From Current Literature.

At the coronation Of King Edward VII,
according to William Watson, there was
present only one person who had been
invited as a representative of English lit
erature-'a novelist not usually reckOned
as Of the first rank The attitude OF
the British monarchy. said Mr.. Watson
In his lecture in New York city, toward
English literature has been a regrettable
factor in English life" Regrettable, per-
haps, so far as the nations social life is
concerned but is 1t altogether regretta-
BILE so far as English literature is con-
cerned? Does not the muse gain in free
dom and sincerity what she loses In
pomp and social eclat by this divorce
from royalty? Mr.. Watson himself
seems to warrant this view. for he con-

community Perhaps here is to be found
one reason why, as Edmond Gosse once
said. Tennyson was able to hold English
poetry stationary for sixty years." Per-
haps he gave poetry too high a social
royalty or aristocracy for Its credentials
and rewards is apt to be more orna-
mental than vital. Today, at any rate,
English poets seem to be achieving more

a long extract from Gibson's poem. THE

extract from poem Of similar general

The Hardest Wood.
From the Building Age.


1t is interesting to note that more than
twenty mahoganylike woods are now Of
fered as true mahogany. not to mention
a considerable number of woods cunning
ly stained to initiate that wood. In the
present circumstances, therefore, when
the demand for mahogany Is greater than
the supply. unusual interest attaches to
such woods as Carfniana, or Colombian.
mahogany, which is acknowledged not to
be mahogany, but which is SO similar to
1t in color. grain effects and working quail
tiles as to serve for the rarer wood
The statement Is made that while Car
iniana differs widely In its botanical ana
anatomical character from true mahog-
any. its close superficial resemblance to
mahogany and its physical properties at
once distinguish it as a high-class cabinet
wood. When properly seasoned 1t does
not warp, check or shrink, while much
of the lumber Is beautifully figured. IL

Starvation Pay Of Actors.

At some Berlin theaters actors who
play small parts and dancers receive oniy
SIS or $40 q week. In the provinces the
matter is far worse. A ballet girl IN the
Hof Theater. in Hanover, may be paid
as little as $3.50 a month.
The managers appear to have no con-
science In the matter, and expect the
persons they employ to get money from
other sources An actress with q
monthly salary Of $40 is expected to dress
we'll, and II she plays parts requiring
elaborate costumes, she has, as rule,
to pay for all Of them.
Tho kaiserin is determined to remedy
this state of affairs. AS q preliminary
step the minister of the interior has been
in conference with representatives OF the
different branches of the theatrical Pro-
fession with a view to legislation in the
interest of actors and actresses.

The Patent Tire

These tires are made so they
can't rin-cut. The method of
making is controlled by the
Goodyear patents.
Other devices for making
tires of this type have proved
unsatisfactory. That Is why
this flood-like demand for tires
that can't rim-cut centers on
Goodyear No-Rim-Cut tires.

Special Cablegram to The Star
BERLIN, May 4-The avowed pur-
pose OF a remarkable book to be pub
lished shortly at Zurich, Switzerland, is
to show up the weak side of the kaiser 8
character. This work, which is believed
to be a socialistic maneuver to discreflit
Emperor William. is announced in a cir
cular mailed to many men prominent In
Berlin society,"
But even the circular Is ANONYMOUS.
Neither the author of the book nor the
author Of the circular is indicated, and
the names OF the printer and publisher
Of either the circular or the book are
omitted in this printed foreword.
The circular states that the book is to
be issued at Zurich because the Ger
man law makes Its publication in Ger
many impossible.
Severe Criticism Of Kaiser.
After this Introduction the circular
gives an outline Of what the book pro-
poses to reveal concerning the kaiser, as
follows:
The kaiser is an overrated and
overadvertised man.
He is not an heroic figure, but a
weak. irresolute and an essentially
tfT1id man, who Is always ready to
quit and always does quit at every
critical moment.
His reign is long record of per-
sonal bI1nders.
His widely Wanted versatile
knowledge is purely superficial.
His alleged military genius Is nom
existent
His reputed ability as an admins
traitor and ruler is pure humbug.
He Is faithless friend. whose dis
loyalty to personal ties Is proven
bial
He Is a man OF colossal deceit. fed
on fattery and surrounded by syco-
plant courtiers. who exploit to the ut
termost his follies and failings
Tne fact that many men behind the
scenes In court life have long talked in
similar terms concerning the kaiser has
not diminished the sensation caused by
the appearance Of this anonymous circu-
lar.
Empress Idol Of People.
But. even though the emperor may be
attacked. oovertly or openly, the empress,
who has been obliged to go to Bad Maui
helm for the cure, has the sympathy OF all
loyal Germans, who regard her as an
ideal hausfrau and q model for matrons
in the fatherland.
That is the popular view Of the kaiserin,
but few know that the imperial lady
takes an active interest in public affairs.
Although she prefers to remain in the
background-doing good by stealth-she
has for long time sought to improve the
condition Of theatrical life in Germany.
And 1t Is largely due to her influence that
the government is preparing a bill which
It expects to introduce in the reichsta8
next session to further the interests Of
actors and actresses.
There Is urgent need for government in

CLAIMS INCREASE IN
 TAXES HURTS CREDIT

London, March 2,-(Special )-viscount St. Aldwyn. who as Sir Michael Hicks Beach, was twice chancellor of the ex- | chequer. has made an appeal to MT. Lloyd George to restore British credit which | has been so severely damaged by the gov ernment's attack on property. Presiding at the meeting of the London | Joint Stock bank, viscount St. Aldwyn | showed the seriousness of the depreciation | of consols and other gilt edged securities | by stating that since 1903 nine of the greatest London banks had written off counts.
 The most patent cause of the decline was the spread of settled government and industrial advance in foreign countries, while at the same time attacks on prop
 erty in England deterred the investor.
 ''The speeches of foolish and reckless politicians" he said, "and the enormous increase in the taxes on property have caused doubts as to the security of prop erty and as to the wisdom of investing money here and have undoubtedly made investments in England seem less secure than they were 10 years ago.
 "A fall of consols means fall in the credit of the country and 1t is vital question to the whole of our people.
 After all the primary duty of a chan cellor of the excheuuer Is to take care or the public purse and to maintain public credit. And If Mir. Lloyd-George is able to devote his lndoubted abilities to the circumstances of the subject I think he will do a very great service to the coun- try"

 BLACK HAND PLOT AGAINST THE KING

Vienna. March 2.-(Special. )-It is stated that the crown prince is com promised in the plot organized by a number of young regicide officers who. dissatisfied with the present radical government. have formed a secret so- ciety known as the Black Hand"
 The object of this society Is stated to have been to force the King to get rid of the government. or else to abdicate in favor of his son. It the last mo- ment the crown prince seems to have quafled before the prospect of a mili- tary rising against h,s father, and to have informed the government of the conspiracy.
 It is stated that the Kisg and govern ment wished to trans.er the leaders of the plot to the provinces, but that the minister of war resisted this proposal and the government did not feel itself strong enough to enforce it's will.
 These statements must be accepted with reserve. although there is no doubt that considerable unrest prevails in the Servlan capital. The Belgrade newspapers publish pessimisfic articles regarding possible military dictator ship.

Black Hand Terrorizes Serians

Belgrade, March 2.-(special)-In the midst of Servia's political crisis, the min- istry having resigned, terror is added to the situation by the threats of the Black Hand agents, The old radical leader and former Servian premier has received another death warrant from these people. This document orders him to leave Servia within IS days, otherwise his fate is fixed. "If you leave the coun- try within 13 days, never to return, your life is safe. If you remain, on the 14th day you will have uncondtlonally seen the last of this world. Accept this as final; do not jest with us. We, the men of the Black Hand, will no longer allow your criminal actions to remain unpun- ished" The warrant is signed with the seal of the secret society of the Black Hand. Some unknown persons during the night have pacarded the walls of Belgrade with fiery red letters stating, 'The palace Is to be let (Signed) Black Hand"

LONG DISCARDED
 DOLL IS POPULAR

London, March 2.-(Special )-The doll, long discarded by the juvenile matrons of the nursery, is being rehabilitated.
 Whatever the attraction of the soft woolly and flexible golliwog or zoo play mates, none of them could yield that in- timate soul companionship obtainabe from the human doll
 The head of a famous toy department says that the arms of the little girls of today are being stretched out eargerly towards dolls of all ages and sizes, so long as they have human characteristics
 The up to date child, like it's elders, has a craving for verissimilitude in all things, and this Is exempliied in the strong reac- tion setting in against the various distorr- ed and fantastic creations so popular of late. The doll Is coming into it's own again, in proportion as 1t becomes more real
 High born dolls, with all the appur- tenances of wealth and fashion, are still to the fore, but are less favored than the little school girl doll with it's satchel and pinafore. which is a veritable conrade and confidant.
 The rising tide of dolls will be at it's flood in March, when a great doll exhibi- tion will be held in Brussels under the patronage of Queen Elizabeth of Belgium
