LAK ELAND, FLA., SEPT. 5, 1913. Lord Rosebery Addresses Boys of the Royal Grammar School at Gulldford. ! London.—"“The Decay of Manners,” was the subject of an address by Lord Rosebery to the boys of the Royal | Grammar school at Guildford. 5 Lord Rosebery, who presented prizes to the boys, referred to & 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-| tury, I suspect, the gentlest-bred Eng- lishman ever produced, partly because they possessed good manners them- selves, and partly because they realis- ed the enormous importance of courtesy and manners in the common transactions of life. “Now, we English people, and I am afraid, still more we Scotch people, are never famous for good manners. I 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. “I 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 com- mand. Good looks are not at our com- mand; they are a gift of the gods, but a good, straightforward, manly ap- pearance, an appearance without self- consclousness—which is the most dis- agreeable feature perhaps of all in ap- pearance—is within the command of everybody.” WALES' UPPER LIP GIRLISH That's Why War Office Abolished Rule That Officers Must Wear Mustache. London.—The girlish upper lip of the prince of Wales is responsible for the recent order of the British war office making mustaches optional with military officers. This order caused the greatest as- tonishment when issued, for it upset Prince of Wales. a custom that was centuries old, There 18 no record of a time when English officers have not as u ruie cultivated mustaches, Although the prince of Wales I8 nineteen, there is no indication that his upper lip will ever attain to even & fuzzy condition. Ile is to join a cavalry regiment in a short time, and he would be ineligible except for this convenient relaxation of an immemo- rial custom. PRAYERS GOT HIM A WIFE Philadelphia Pastor Will Obtain a New Church by the Same Means. Philadelphia.—Rev. Gustav Alf, pas- tor of the First Polish Baptist church, is a firm believer in the efficacy of prayer. Whenever Mr. Alf wants any- | thing he prays for it and his prayers l are answered, Several years ago )Mr. Alf wanted a | wife. One young woman had jilted | him, so he asked the Lord to give him | another. The wife was forthcoming, | and today Mr. Alf is the proud father | of two children Mr. Alf has been praying.for a church to house his congregation. This prayer also will be answered. More | than one-half of the necessary amount to purchase a church building for the Poilsh congregation has been col lected. A short time ago Mr. Alf met in’ Cleveland one of his converts, named Lapinski, who wanted a wife. Two days after they prayed together for this particular blessing. Lapinski met | the attractive young woman whom in two months he married. Another of Alf's converts, named Morsey, won his father to the Chris tlan faith through his preceptor's prayers and his own.

HIGHE Gigantic Tower Proposed for Dusseldorf, Germany. German Engineers, In This Project, Will Outdo Their French Rivale— To Be Tallest Structure World Has Ever Known, Dusseldorf, Germany.—A great steel tower that will rise to a height of 1,600 feet, surpassing the Eiffel tower by more than 600 feet, is proposed for this city. If the plans are carried out, the tower will rise above the River Rhine, a part of the lower portion of it forming a bridge. The legs of the tower at right an- gles to the bridge will rest upon two stone piers, which will lie about 660 feet apart on a line with the central pier of the bridge in the middle of the stream. The arches at the base of the tower will be 300 feet in height. The top platform, which will be 160 feet below the extreme summit, is to be 80 feet square. From this a won- derful view of the surrounding coun- try would be secured. The tower will be used for scientific purposes, and will have a wireless in- stallation in its top. This tower will be the tallest struc- ture in the world and will mark an engineering feat that, while not at all unattainable in this age of lofty con- struction made possible by modern building in steel, has never before been considered commercially desir- able. With this structure scientific measuring and weighing of air and its currents is expected to reach a higher state of perfection than ever before. From a commercial polnt of | view the government will profit, un- ! doubtedly, through its wireless instal- | lation, which is expected to have a' radius greater than any station now | in operation. In addition, Dusscldorf, long a cen- ! ter of aviation and the scene of the A THAN EIFFEL 1,600-Foot Tower Projected for I)ul-| seldorf, Germany. several triumphs and innumerable fail- ures of Count Zeppelin and his dirigl- ble balloons, will add to its prestige as a show point. This structure will permit of an extraordinary view over the countryside. With the observa- tory at the pinnacle equipped with powerful telescopes, it will be possible to sweep the horizon for hundreds of miles, i While Eiffei tower has little com- mercial value, outside its wireless in- stallation, the Dusseldorf structure will serve the double purposes of bridge and observatory. Architects engaged on the plans have not re- vealed the cost of construction, but it will be enormous. i | TEAMSTER WITH SHOW A GIRL Keen Eyed Physician Treating Sprain ed Wrist Penetrates Young Woman's Disguise. Bristol, Tenn.—The examination here of the sprained wrist of a team- ster with a Wild West show brought to light a romance in which & ranch girl of twenty years and her cowboy sweetheart were the central figures. Miss May Shaffer, a comely girl of North Platte ranch, near Omaha, left her home and journey alone to New York city to join the Wild West show that she might be associated with her sweetheart, Leonard Sasseen, & cow- bay with the show. Arriving in New York, Miss Shaffer applied for a position as cowgirl rider in the show. To her disappointment she was advised that every place was taken. After a conference with Sas- seen she appeared in man’s garb and applied to the master of teams for a position as driver. She was placed in charge of an eight-horse team. Disguised as a boy, Miss Shaffer gave eminent satisfaction as a team- ster until she sustained a sprined wrist. The physician saw the hand was that of a woman and the expose | followed. - .z PAGE .EVER 'J. P.
