morrow Jesse l.. Lasky will present for

light Warren (Miss Jolivet), a charm
ing American girl has been fascinated
by dashing Montenegrin nobleman
and who daringly goes alone to Monte
negro to marry him. She has no soon
er arrived in that strange country, how
ever, than she is captured by the broth
er of her fance. This brother, Count
Stefan, played by House Peters, takes
Delight to his castle and forces her
to marry him. He treats her with the

brother is traitor to his country and
Count Stefan wants to prevent De-
lights wealth from coming into his
hands and being used to the injury OF
the Fatherland. The succeeding events
show the manner in which Delight fin
ally becomes convinced that Count
Stefan is right, and the love which
| finally makes real marriage of the

Farmer shot BY INTRUDER
Blames Crime on Fovmer Employe but
Latter Apparently Can Prove
An Alibi
By Associated Press.

Philadelphia, April 9.--Alfred Gott-
schalk, farmer living about six miles
southeast of Quakertown, was shot and
probably mortally wounded late last
night by an intruder whJ escaped. Gott
schalk told the Bucks county police that
he believed that Harry Fies, who work.
ed for him short time early this year,
did the shooting.
On request of the Bucks county au-
thorities Fies has been detained by the
Philadelphia police. Fies is boarder
at the home in this city of Mrs. Gott
schalk s sister where the wife of the
wounded farmer also lives. Fies denies
all knowledge of the shooting and fur
ther says he was at home all night In
this latter statement he is borne out by
the other persons living in the house.
Gettschalk and his wife, who is
chiropodist, have not lived together for
about fourteen years. She said this was
due to the fact that she preferred to
live in the city. Husband and wife
were on friendly terms, it is said, and
Mrs. Gottschalk visited her husband at
the farm frequently.
Gottschalk was shot while investi-
eating sounds coming from a room adj
joining his bedroom. The assailant es-
capped and Gottschalk managed to
make his way to the home of a neigh
Dor where physicians and the police
were summoned. 1t was there that Gott-
schalk made his statement involving
Flies.

WOMAN dies At ACE OF 115'
Inmate Of Philadelphia Home for Aged
and Infirm Colored People Had
Remarkable Longevity

Philadelphia, April 9.-"Aunt
Mahala" Ayres, the oldest woman in
Philadelphia, died last night in the
Home for Aged and Infirm Colored Per-
sons, Forty-fourth street and Girard
avenue. She would have been t15 years
old if she had lived until Monday. They
were preparing celebration of her
birthday at the Home when the aged
woman quietly gave up the ghost. Up
until last Saturday she was in good
health, but she was suddenly stricken
and quickly sank to death.
For thirty-two years Aunt Mahala
has been sitting around the home tell
ing people how to live long. Ever since
she passed the century mark in 1900
she has been an object of interest,
which grew all the more intense as the
years piled up. 1t was Aunt AIahala s
hope that she would exceed the record
of longevity for the home, which is 1872
years, but in this she was disappointed.
The old eolored woman was born a
slave on April IL, 1900, on the plan
tation of John Faucet, near Berlin, Nd.
She was married when young woman,
but never had any children. Long be-
fore the Civil war she was set free and
came to Philadelphia with her husband,
who was waiter. During his life he
saved up considerable money, so that
after he died, in 1860, his widow lived
comfortably.
Aunt Mahala kept her hearing to
the end and had good eyesight until a
few years ago. Her memory was ex-
eellent. She remembered all about the
Faucet plantation of 100 years ago,
and told with interest of having seen
Presidents Tyler, Van Buren, and Polk.
She said she never saw Lincoln. Events
of more recent years were unknown to
her, except that she was interested in
automobiles and liked to watch them
running out Girard avenue past the
home.

Husband, Unbalanced by Worry, Makes
Prisoner of Wife and Children

New York, April "A case of alb
ject destitution was discovered in the
home of carpenters assistant on the
top floor of the three-story fiat at 5S11
Third avenue, Brooklyn, near Fifty
eighth street. Henry Forsberg, the hus-
band, through ill health, lost his job
three weeks ago on the subway. His
wife at the same time gave birth to her
fourth child. The ensuing struggle with
sickness and poverty unbalanced the
husband IS mind.
Forsberg locked his family and him
self in their rooms. They were shut
off from supplies and neighborly assist
ance. Mrs. Forsberg managed to reach
a rear window yesterday and call to a
neighbor, who called the police of the
Fourth avenue station. The latter broke
into the room and removed Forsberg to
the Kings county hospital for observa-
tion.
There is no help in sight from rela-
tives. The Oldest child is years. The
sole capital last evening was half a
loaf Of bread and rs cents.

CUT THIS OUT
Old English Recipe for Catarrhal Deaf
ness and Head Noises

Old English Recipe for Catarrhal Deaf
ness and Head Noises
If you know someone who is troubled
with head noises, or Catarrhal Deafness,
cut out this formula, and hand it to
them, and you will have been the means
of saving some poor sufferer perhaps
from total deafness. Recent expert
ments have proved eonclusively that
Catarrhal Deafness, head noises, etc.,
were the direct cause of constitutional
disease, and that salves, sprays, in
halers, etc., merely temporize with the
complaint and seldom, if ever. effect a
permanent cure. This being so, much
time and money has been spent of late
by noted specialist in perfecting a
pure, gentle, yet effective tonic that
would quickly dispel all traces Of the
catarrhal poison from the system. The
effective prescription which was eventu-
ally formulated, and which has aroused
the belief that deafness will soon be
extinct, is given below in understand
able form, so that anyone can treat
themselves in their own home at little
expense.
Secure from your druggist 1 OF. Par
mint Double Strength), about 75c
worth. Take this home and add to it
u pint of hot water and OF. Of gran
ulated sugar; stir until dissolved. Take
one tablespoonful four times day.
The first dose should begin to relieve
the distressing head noises, headache,
dullness. cloudy thinking, etc., while
the hearing rapidly returns as the sys-
tenn is invigorated by the tonic action
of the treatment. Loss of smell and
mucus dropping in the back of the
throat, are other symptoms that show
the presence of catarrhal poison, and
which are often entirely overcome by
this eficacious treatment. Nearly
ninety per cent. Of all ear troubles are
directly caused by catarrh; therefore,
there must be many people whose hear
ing can be restored by this simple home
treatment.
Every person who is troubled with
head noises, catarrhal deafness, or ca
tarrh in any form, should give this pre-
scription trial. There is nothing bet
ter.-Adv.
