The balloon races and contests conduct- ed in connection with the Paris Exposi- tion were productive of some very inter- esting resuits. Every Sunday the spec- tacle was witnessed of a large number of balloons starting on their journay. ‘“‘One afternoon,” says Lawrence Rotch, “sev- enteen balloons rose successively, each aeronaut endeavoring to land as near as ossible to some point that he had fixed seforehand.” By taking advantage of the various air currents and skillfully manip- ulating the guide ropes, surprising results were obtained. One aeronaut, after trav- eling thirty miles, landed thin half a mile of the goal he had set out for. The greatest height attained By any of the | seronauts was 27,000 feet. In the long- distance race six balloons started, and three of them landed in Russia. About 1400 miles were traveled in thirty-seven hours.—Montreal Star. | Stock | American secu | who sustained serious internal { a patient named Miss BERLIN BOERSE 15 RATHER FIRM Shares in American Rail- ways Finding Favor With Speculators. R AL German Press Sees Danger Ahead for European Iron Industry. TSN May 5.—Although the Boerse greeted the political developments of last week jubilantly they were not sufficient to inaugurate a bull market. Even in this city official circles were .gratified at the fall of Herr von Miquel and Herr Brefelot, | belleving that a reform of the Boerse law 18 now made more practicable. The finan- cial reviews point out that the Berlin Boerse was almost uninfluenced by New York. While the general tone was rather firm, business was very dull. One feature of the week was a revival of interest in domestic loans, owing to the great abun- dance of mon Imperial and Prussian threes gained 30 pfennings and the new threes 40 pfennings.

Nevertheless, says Frankfurter Zeitung, some speculators are buying American railway shares. The Vossische Zeitung and the Frankfurter Zeitung profess to have discovered much disappointment among German _holders because of too early a sale of Americans. Some journals continue to warn Investors. The National Zeitung says to-day: “The Wall street movement has reached the bounds of crazy over-confidence and financiers here are expecting a crash.” J. Plerpont Morgan's purchase of the Leyland steamship line is discussed. The Vossische Zeltung says: “The transaction involves an earnest warning for Germany to put forth her utmost exertions to survive the struggle.” The Berliner Tageblatt says: there is danger ahead in Europe.” “Unquestionably for the iron ind ON Ma. nge has been quieter during the past week, but dealings in American securities have becn on an enormous scale, with much animation and man in prices.

SERIOUS COLLISION BETWEEN TRACTION CARS Motorman and Several Pasengers R ceive Injuries That May Prove Fatal. AKRON, Ohio, May 5—Two Northern Ohio traction cars collided at the foot of a steep hill on North Howard street this afternoon_and about a dozen people were i. The cars were loaded with pa sengers For some reason the brakes on the second car failed to work and it dashed down the hill at a terrific rate of ‘speed, strik- ing the forward car, which had stopped to take on more passengers. Strange to say, none of the passengers on the second car were injured except Motorman Scott, injuries. The rear platform of the forward car was crowded and all on the platform were more or less injured. The more seriously hurt are: John Rausch, left leg crushed; George Authenreith, foot crushed; John Hobacht, leg crus Miss Georgia Copp, injured about hips; William T. Sawyer, attorney, internally; A. B. Scott, motorman; inter- nally; Je Mitchell, legs broken. MANY PERSONS STABBED BY .DEMENTED PATIENT Baroness von Dusen and Her Three Daughters Among the Victims. GRENNA, Sweden, May 5.—While Bar- oness Augusta von Dusen was removing Nehrmann to a hospital for nervous diseases here she be- came violent, seized a knife and stabbed the Baroness and her three dailgnters. One of the daughters died. The patient then escaped into the village, clad only in her underclothing, and_ tried to force an entrance into several houses. She at- tacked and wounded five- persons before being overpowered. SEVERAL CHANGES IN THE GERMAN CABINET Governor of Bra.n_d:nburg Expected to Become Prussian Minister of the Interior.

They have been fighting about a Chi- nese cook, and their quarrel has made John's salary climb $5 per week. John is conceded to be without exception the finest cook on the avenue. For six years he ruled the kitchen in one fashionable home, and the peace and happiness which always attend good digestion hovered o'er it. So as not to complicate matters, I will call the charming mistress who presided over this hom¢ Mrs, F. A bit farther out on the avenue is an- other fashionable home with an equally charming mistress. This lady, who for convenience sake I shall call Mrs. T., had had all sorts of cooks in her kitchen, and each had proved equally as unsatisfac- tory. Mrs. T. was almost frantic. The day set for the marriage of her daughter was rapidly approaching, and it was as much as she could do to give her atten- tion to the trousseau without bothering about the cook. At this stage in the game she had a brilliant idea. She went down to Mrs. F.'s home, rang the bell, and when John came in answer to her ring, offered him then and there $2.50 more per week than Mrs. F. was giving him if he would come and do her family cooking. Of course, John went. The brow of Mrs. T. had just regained its usual serene look, and her family had for exactly two weeks enjoyed the blessing of- good cooking, when bright and early one morning Mrs. F. marched up to Mrs. T.'s door and tinkled her door-bell. John answered the ring. Mrs, F. took her cue from a pre- vious conversation John had held with Mrs. T.. and a few days afterward the famous cook was back in the F. Kitchen, e difference that he was earning $5, more per week than he originally had. But he was hardly a fortnight in the F. cuisine when his mistress came upon him unexpectedly, and said: ‘“John, I have decided to discharge you. I just got you back out of spite, but my sense of honor rebels against employing a servant so easy and ready to be bought as you are. | You have your two days’ notice.””” Mrs. T. was valnly trying to enjoy burnt steak for breakfast when John came upon her. “I come back to you,” he said. ou allee same give me $2.50 more—same wages as Mrs, F.” Mrs."T. argued, but in vain. She looked at the burnt, tough steak on her plate, and John triumphed. That is the story as I have here told it. I don’t, however, know whether I should consider it a merry tale or a sad one with a moral. . . I have been told that Mrs. Will Crocker has gone in for Christian sclence, and that the results are not only beneficial, but re- markably noticeable. Mrs. Crocker, al- ways gracious and kind, has become even more so under the treatment. Her usual haughty mien, only skin deep, however, has entirely disappeared, and she is now in appearance as she has always been in fact—sweet, charming, unselfish and gra- cious. I never saw such a wealth of gorgeous silver, crystal and costly bric-a-brac as that which Mrs. Milton Esberg (Carrie Lilienthal) received as wedding presents. And 1 do not believe that a half-hundred of these icent offerings were the de the immediate amily of Lilienthal and Esberg. It is a thing to have such an extensive scially as in this case, when name is good for at least 1f-million on 'Change. . and Mrs. Esberg only flitted. away for a few days’ honeymooning. They are to be back this week to attend the silver wedding of the young bride's parents_and then leave for an extended trip to Honolulu. One of the pretty fea- tures of the Lilienthal-Esberg wedding was the speech at the bridal breakfast made by Louis Sloss, the maternal grand- father of the bride. Miss Lilienthal was ‘the first of his many grandchildren to be married, and the venerable gentleman was happier ‘even than it is his usual wont to be. NEILL COMPANY ADMIR “LOTTERY OF LOVE” AT CALIFORNIA A crowded house greeted the Neill com- pany last night at the California in the bright Daly adaptation from the French, “The Lottery of Love,” with entre acts by the “Terrible Terry's” official ‘‘an- nouncer,” Joe Humphreys. It is difficult to say which attracted most attention, “The Lottery of Love” or the Terry Mc- Govern box, after his famous “announcer’ had made his and the presence of the little virtuoso of the prize ring known in the usual fashion. Certaln it is that when the heavy-weight Humphreys guffaw sent up the curtain on McGovern just at the be- ginning of the second act there was con- siderable confusion as to where all the applause belonged, but stage and prize ring howed acknowledgments in happy accord. The merry comedy is admirably given by the Neill company and is good war- rant for a hearty laugh from the gravest play-goer. ‘“The Lottery of Love,” as is well remembered, deals with the mother- in-law question, with the delightfully ridiculous complication of making the di- vorced wife of the much mother-in-lawed hero his mother-in-law the seconfi. Mr. Neill as the hero in question has a_cu; genial role and, while the part affords him little opportunity for the kind of quiet, restrained and sometimes under- drawn portraiture he most commonly af- fects, there is a snap and vigor and real fun that is very refreshing in his Adolphus Doubledot. John W. Burton does a very clever sketch of Buttercorn, the father-in-law of Adolphus, who also certain that Baron von Rheinbaben, Prus- | goes wrong on_the mother-in-law topic, Gian Minister of the Interior, will succeed | and Frank McVicars is an acceptable Dr. and that General Podbietski, ;noits and Telegraphs, will take the folio -of Agriculture. ..

The man who now fills the post has extraordinary skill with the pen and brush, and his diplomas and certificates were greatly admired for their exquisite taste and skillful execu- tion.. He receives a salary of $2500 a year. The clockmaker at Windsor Castle recelves the same compensation, and it is his business to keep all the timepieces in repair. The historiographer, who is sup- sed to keep a record of events, holds an ereditary office, with a salary of $2500 a ear. The master of music, Sir Walter %nrren, the famous organist, receives $1500, and arranges concerts for his Majesty’s division. The surveyor of pic- tures 18 paid $1500, the librarian (who, by the way, is Richard R. Holmes, an emi- nent author), receives $2500; the examiner of plays $1600, the keeper of tb~ swans s paid and the bargemaster, who looks after the boats used by the roy=l family at Windsor, has a similar coz.pensation ' —New York Tribune.

Sweet, charmxng/Mome Thomas has been putting in some busy days lately making the final purchases for her trous- seau. I have not seen Mollie’s things yet, but I stand ready to wager that the outfit is the daintiest, prettiest and most stylish of any trousseau that was ever built to make a trusting bride's tender heart glad. I deem Mollie Thomas the most fashion- able girl in this city. I have never known a girl to wear her clothes with more style and I certainly know of no girl who dis- plays the rare good taste Mollie does in selecting them. Any one who has seen Miss Thomas these last few days busily Shopping in her trim tailor suit, with its short skirt, her natty jacket and rpugh white English straw hat, will bear me out in my asser- tion that it s mnot clothes that makes Mollie Thomas, but she that makes the clothes. Only one girl in a thousand can take away the ungainly look for a short tailor skirt and make it appear a garment of grace and beauty. Mollie Thomas is that girl. R The old Tevis home is quiet and lonely these days without the 'sunshiny pres- ence of sweet Florence Breckinridge. Florence is off to Europe with her aunt, Mrs. Will Tevis, and Mrs. Lloyd Tevis is all alone in the Taylor-street home, a-.ungering after her. favorite grand- child. . Susie Blanding, however, is going to make a strong effort to drive away her grandmother’s ennui. She is going to give Tp some of her social duties and devote most of her time to her grandmother. Florence Breckinridge has not yet come “out.” Susie Blanding is a full-fledged belle; and that is how it is that Flor- ence had more time for grandma than Susie had. —_— “Barbara Freitchie” will be “President’s week”’ programme. P “Sag Harbor,” James A. Herne's new play, will be the strong attraction at the Columbia this week. Eastern critics have awarded this latest Herne production very high praise and in comparing it with the playwright's former pastoral, ‘‘Shore Acres,” have almost unanimously given the palm to “Sag Harbor.” Thé original New York cast, with the exception of James A. Herne nimself, will be heard here and all the mountings of the orig- inal production have been brought across the continent. Al The Alcazar, in consequence of the large demand for seats, will continue ‘“The Conquerors” for another week and “Friends,” announced for this evening, will follow. s . % The Central revives this week Dion Boucicault’s ‘“The Octoro * a play somewhat on the order of nele Tom'’s Cabin.” The play will have a very ef- fective setting, the scenery and mountings to be on an unusually elaborate scale, and the Central forces having been consider- ably augmented to provide the large cast necessary for the play. Monday after next Terry McGovera will appear at this house in “The Bowcry After Dark.” He will spar four rourds each night with Dougherty. The Grand Opera-house for a second time this season will present “The Son of Napoleon.” As its‘press agent ingenious- ly puts it: “We have recently seen Mme.

Judge Gear is here to learn furtter par- ticulars regarding the serious iliness of his_fiancee, who is now in Italy. After registering at the California Hotel, he went immediately to the residence of the family of the young lady, and should any danger attach to her illness Judge Gear will immediately proceed to join her. A fellow passenger with Judge Gear was Wray Taylor, Commissioner of Agricul- ture in Hawail.
