over the abduction of a married woman
by Mormon of Salt Lake City. The

Berlin, Jan. 25-Influences deftly woven

in the art world OF Europe.
From time to time, and apparently
without rhyme or reason, the musical

one royal kapellmeister after another

Paur Held on Six Months.
Now comes and goes Emil Paur for
merly leader OF the Boston Symphony

who managed to hold onto the swaying

reputation as leader of famous Ameri-

But he did not, or some people in his

On the life and death OF this aged mon-
arch hangs the peace OF Europe. This
is the situation which is generally ac-
cepted by the students of European af-
fairs. The Emperor has maintained a
stand for peace during the war between
the Balkan states and Turkey. and Il is
his attitude which kept Austria from
getting into the imbroglio. Those who
are close to the Emperor and who know
his physical condition say that his reign
is drawing to a close. II he should pass
away before the Balkans and Turkey
settle their differences, IL is not hard
TO guess what the consequences will be.

Sunday was Mothers Day and
several of the lOealchurches observed
1t with special services. Many in the
audience had done their share toward
the special observance of the day by
the wearing of & carnation. The
idea is that those whose mothers are
living wear colored Carnations and
those mothers who are not, shall wear
white carnations. The day is of re-
cent origin. 1t is observed the
second Sunday in May.
1t was not only at the churches that
the carnations of Mothers Day we're

spending Sunday here, unable to be
