NEWS OF THE OLD WORD
 ALFONSO IS OPTIMISTIC
Spain's Young King Expects To Be Assassinated - Paris is Baseball Crazy-Rich Woman a smuggler- Unique Thieving Society.

Paris, May 24.-Alfonso of Spain has returned home. His Paris visit was short, but not so the memory of his fatalistic courage. When the King was told that George of Greece had been assassinated at Sa1onika, his only comment was: Ut will be my turn next" A close friend who heard this remark urged the King to agree never to go out on horseback again unless accompanied by a strong es- cort. 'If," replied the young mon arch," I am never to be allowed to go about as I wish, I can only hope that my turn will come quickly
 Five actual attempts have been made on the life of King Alfonso in the past ten years, the last occurring at Madrid, April 13 of this year.
 Baseball has come to Paris, and has taken the city virtually by storm. Ne gotiations are under way for the pur- chase of a ball park in the Bois de Bou1ogne; sporting houses are stock ing baseballs, bats, masks and gloves to meet an increasing demand, and the American baseball vernacular is being translated into French
 All this Is the direct result of a few exhibitions of the great American game witnessed near Paris recently but France was ripe for the innova- ton. Grafted on a. newly awakened love for outdoor sports and living

SCRAP BOOK FOR TO-DAY

Throughout that far-hung empire on which the sun never sets the name and fame of Victoria will be commem- orated to-day. No other secular holiday in the worlds calendar is so generally celebrated. nor enlists the enthusiasm and sympathy of so many people of divers races, as that which marks the birthday of Eng lands great and good Queen. In all of the continents of the globe and in countless islands of the seven seas there will be observances to-day in honor of a wise and just ruler who was also an affectionate wife and devoted mother. It was under Vic toria's beneficent rule that the tight little island off the coast of Europe became the center of vast empire which holds within it's boundaries the great Dominion of Canada, India with It's teeming millions, large part of Africa. the continent of Australia and many other colonies, and so her natal day has come to be called Elm ptre day.
 Of other modern holidays commem- prating national heroes, none can be compared with Victoria Day. Wash anEtOn's Birthday, now a holiday in all the States, is the nearest approach to it. while Lincoln's Birthday in the North and the natal day of Lee and sJenerson Davis in the South are the only other important holidays of the kind in the United States. In Japan and in most European nations the birthdays of the ruling nonarchs are observed as holidays, but it is safe to predict that the observance will die with them. Columbus Day is quite generally observed in both North and South America, and in the latter con- tinent the birthday of Simon Boliva1, the 1iberator, is celebrated in several countries. Besides Victoria or Elm pire Day, Primrose Day is the only English holiday that is observed throughout the Empire. The latter conmemorates the anniversary of the death of Lord BeaconsfieId.
 Victoria Day was first generally ob- served in 1899. the year following ths young Queens succ ession to the throne From that time on the ceIe- bration of the day became more gem eral. until it circled the globe.

COP TASTED
LIQUOR FOUND
In SUNDAY RAID

Police Sergeant McDermott. who on
Sunday raided the house, No. 704
Walnut street, tenanted by Samuel
DeShields, colored, and arrested him
and his wife on charges Of selling
Intoxicating liquors without a license,
told Judge Churchman, in City Court
today that he tasted whiskey and gin
in the house after making the raid.
After hearing considerable testi-
mony, Judge Churchman reserved his
decision until next Thursday morning.
Fora Warrington and John Maroney,
white men, who we're in the raid, were
the States witnesses. While War
rington said he put two ten cent
pieces on a table for beer and re-
ceived a bottle, Maroney said he did
not see the coins. but saw several
nickels on the table. Neither man
saw anybody pick up the money.
The defendant admitted he bought
beer and whiskey every Saturday for
his family and friends, but he denied
selling it. He admitted seeing the
money on the table.
Police Sergeant McDermott told of
making the raid and finding beer and
other drinks in the house. Philip L.
Garrett for DeShields objected to the
officer telling about the complaints
concerning the house and the OBJ
lection was sustained by Judge
Churchman who said they might have
been made through malice The de-
fendants attorney also objected to
the officer speaking Of the quantities
of liquors there Mr.. Garrett said one
man might order more for his own
consumption than another. The Court
thought the amount found should be
stated, however.
