TAKE CURE AT HOME
TALKS on DECAY OF MANNERS
Lord Rosebery Addresses Boys Of the
Royal Grammar School at
GuIdford.

London.-"The Decay Of Manners,
was the subject of an address by Lord
Rosebery to the boys OF the Royal
Grammar school at Guildford
Lord Rosebery, who presented
prizes to the boys. referred to a school
statute framed 300 years ago, that
Courtesy and good manners are to
be established by all good means"
and proceeded:
The men of the seventeenth CEN
fury, | suspect, the Sentlest-bred Eng
llshman ever produced, partly because
they possessed good manners them
selves. and partly because they realiz-
ed the enormous importance Of
courtesy and manners in the common
transactions Of life.
Now, we English people, and am
afraid. still more we Scotch people,
are never famous for good manners
| think at one time there was a sort
of John Bull feeling in England that
good manners were a device for the
dancing. frog-eating Frenchman, whom
whom it was our duty to despise
Il think there has been a decay of
manners In England, Scotland and all
OF the world. Good appearance and
good manners have an enormous COM
mercial value in life. sometimes won
der why they are not harped on more
than on these occasions. Good appear
ance, you may say. is not at our CON-
mand. Good looks are not at our CON-
mand; they are gift of the gods. but
good. Straightforward. manly ap-
pearance. an appearance without self
consciousness-which is the most dis
agreeable feature perhaps of all in ap-
pearance-is within the command Of
everybody"

WHALE HITS LINER.
Big leviathan Kills Self by the
Impact.
Raised and Shook Kaiser Franz Josef
Over Titanic Grave, as If by
Tidal Wave-All Hands
Rush on Deck.

New York.-The Austro American
liner Kaiser Franz Josef came into
port here with a large number of pas
sengers, much cargo, and story of a
whale of great proportions which tried
to butt the bottom out of the big liner,
and died In the attempt. The Kaiser
Franz Josef was shaken to such an
extent that the skipper, all of his junior
officers. half Of the crew, and scores
OF the passengers rushed on deck
in apprehension. Not until the dead
body of the giant mammal was seen
floating away to windward did the
skipper and his men know what had
been under them.
The account of the whale Is vouch-
ed for by no less an authority than
Gustav Millimoth, the first officer OF
the Kaiser Franz Josef, who at the
time of the commotion happened to
be entering on the log the fact that
the big liner was at that moment
passing over the grave Of the Titanic.
While he was still making this entry,
the liner suddenly lurched upward, as
II lifted by a tidal wave. The ship
shook from stem to stern, and Cap
tain Gerolomich, who was in his cabin.
jumped to the bridge.
The passengers deserted smoke

crowded the decks. In about FIVE min

whale at least 20 feet long, and a great
cash in the middle of its back showed
what the collision with the steamship
had done to 1t. Those of the passen-
gers who had cameras snapshotted
the dead monster, and these photo
graphs were shown. They showed
giant whale floating in the water, and
close look made 1t possible to see
the great wound that ended it's life.
The Kaiser Franz Josef had among
her passengers the Baron Bella Won
Hazan, son Of the Hungarian min
lister of war. Baron Won Hazan Is
here on a short vacation, the principal
object of which is a chance to view
Niagara Falls. He saw the whale.

FOR SILENCE AT FUNERALS
League Is Formed In France to End
the scandaIous Dlsrespeet
for Dead.

Paris.-A League for the Promo
ton of Silence at Funerals" has Just
been founded in France by a group OF
persons who are disguised with the
state into which the attendance at
burials, so common feature of French
social life, has now fallen.
1t is stated that for some time both
religious and civil funerals have been
no more than a rendezvous for friends
and acquaintances Of the deceased
person to chat over affairs of mutual
interest, as II at a fashionable at
home

terry, it is said. business deals and
stock contracts are arranged, move
ments on the stock exchange decided,
political groups formed and even min
listers appointed.
At the funeral mass in the chapel
things are not much better. Here
financiers employ their time to check
entries in their note books and liter
airy people take care to bring a bundle
of proofs to correct.
The members Of the new league
pledge themselves not to speak at all
and to maintain a perfect and re-
spectful bearing from the beginning
to the end Of the proceedings"
The movement Is receiving much
support, as it is agreed on all sides
that the present state of things is
nothing short of scandalous. Some
sarcastic persons are suggesting that
among the fittest members for the
league of silence would be the singers,
who, under the pretense of honoring
the dead. make what is often an un-
seemly noise at funeral services
