c IN THE CAPITALS OF EUROPE News and Gossip of Interest on This Side of the Atlantic. ROME, Nov. 22. —Just before Dr. Lapponi, Pope Leo's world-famous physician, was operated on for appen dicitis, the holy father entered the sick room and said to him: "Have confi dence in your science and arm your self with fortitude —the medicine you constantly prescribed for myself. With courage and confidence I assure you, you will get over it." The operation was a complete success. Dr. Mazzoni, who performed it, said to your corre spondent: "I am sure that the pope's encouraging words did as much for the patient as I did myself, backed by the teachings of science. As to the holy father, he is and continues to be a wonder. There never was an old man so healthy in body and mind. If Leo had lived 200 years ago, his mental activity would have been reg-arded as nothing short of miraculous. He is everywhere in the Vatican, watches ev erything, knows everything, takes the responsibility for everything. He does everything himself, his ministers are but tools in his hand. And nothing of any consequence happens in the world, that does not interest him, nothing for which he is not prepared. If Leo were a great Mundaine monarch, with the power of Germany or Russia behind him, he would dictate laws to all the world and the world would submit, I am quite certain. Such a man as the holy father on the throne of Rus sia or France would solve the prob lems of the day; he would revolutionize the world in a political and social sense." Marriage Annulment Fees Abolished. The pope has ordered the three Vat ican congregations, "Sanctum Offici um," the "Concilum" and the "Propa ganda," to discontinue charging fees for the annulment of marriages. This will deprive the church of a large and increasing income, but his holiness has discovered that permission to charge "costs" for the proceedings led to a miscarriage of justice in several cases. He also found out that unworthy indi viduals have misused the institution, as it is now conducted, for purposes of blackmail. The holy father learned the true state of things when he got information that the Prince of Monaco was charged 2,000,000 francs for the annulment of his marriage with Lady Mary Douglas Hamilton, while Lady Mary's second husband, Count Festet ics, had to pay 100,000 francs for per mission to marry her. "Allied With the Devil." ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 22.—The provincial press is up in arms against the American sleight-of-hand-man, Bob Lenz, and his fellow artist, Miss Eleanore, who are doing the stunts made famous by the late Prof. Hermann in Russia. They maintain with every show of sincerity that Bob and Elea nore are leagued with the devil, basing their assertion on the report of the representative of the orthodox bishop, Nasari, of Nischni-Novgorod. The bishop, it is said, sent a "responsible" man to take in the show, and this per son opined that Bob and Eleanore could not do the stunts they do unless they were aided by "unclean and evil spir its." How Bob Lawrence Lenz man ages to work under the instructions of and in harmony with the hereditary enemy of all mankind I don't know," says the bishop's representative, "but I vow and declare that his art is not of this world and that the devil him self must be his partner." Romans Already Knew Aluminum. BERLIN, Nov. 22.—Prof. Mommsen discovered that aluminum, known to us since 1527, is mentioned by the Roman natural historian, Plinius, who reports that the Emperor Tiberius had a Ro man chemist beheaded for making aluminum out of clay, as he feared that the new metal "as good as silver, but far more useful," might cause a fall in the vaiue of the established precious metals. Editor Kicked from Reichstag. MAGDEBURG, Nov. 22.—The Social ists have already opened the campaign for sending Editor Albert Schmidt back to the reichstag and city coun cil-, where he was an honored mem ber until a sort of George Ade fable, printed in his paper, deprived him of his character as a legislator and caus ed him to be clapped into jail for three years. The fable he printed, but did not write, was interpreted to contain a slur on the kaiser's second son, Eitel Fritz. While in prison the edit or was forced to associate day and night with murderers and highwaymen and the very meanest of work, cleaning and broom-making, was reserved for him. He was awaited at the door of the jail by over 10,000 people, who cheered him as he walked out, a sick and broken man. The Liberals have united with the Socialists to secure Editor Schmidt's rehabilitation as a na tional and municipal legislator. Danish Nobility Dying Out. COPENHAGEN, Nov. 22.—The Dan ish nobility, once very numerous, is fast dying out, as the leading families have been productive of female issue only for the last twenty or thirty years. Within the next twenty years, thirty more families will die out, according to present prospects. The physical de terioration of the aristocracy is equal ed by its mental decline. Denmark has only one noble-born general and the lower house of her parliament is entire ly made up of commoners, while the upper house has twelve aristocrats among sixty-two, five of whom were A GOOD SAMARITAN. Being Helped Himself Wishes to Help. Others. The papers were never so filled with advertisements of remedies that will cure every known disease as they are today; these are invariably accom panied by letters from people, testify ing in the strongest terms to the vir tue and merit of the particular prepa ration advertised; but because so much is claimed for the medicine, it has come to • the point where most readers re gard such testimonials as pure "fakes" and made up out of whole cloth. We are glad, however, to vouch for the reliability of the following- from Mr. William Lichtenwalter, proprietor of the largest printing house in Canton, Ohio, regarding the Pyramid Pile Cure, for which nothing is claimed except that it will cure any and every form of Piles. "For several months past I have re ceived so many inquiries from suffer ers asking if my testimonial is au thentic, that I am. inclined to send in a bill to you for postage and stationery. It is now two years since I was last troubled, and my rectum is as clear and clean as any man who never had piles, although I suffered with pro truding, bleeding and internal piles for twenty-seven years. I will not attempt to detail the agony I suffered, being too happy to say I believe I am cured, af ter two years of evidence. What will cure one man will some times not cure another; whether it was the Pyramid Pile Cure that cured me, I cannot say; but I have been free from piles for two years after using your treatment. I leave sufferers to draw their own conclusions. I will answer any communication that a sufferer may ask, and will refer to any business house, bank or manu facturer of Canton, Ohio, concerning my identity, among whom I have lived for forty-eight years."

Henry's Latest Traveling Adventures. BONN, Nov. 22.—0n Friday Prince Henry arrived unannounced on Castle Rheinstein, long after midnight, his automobile having again broken down. Himself and adjutant were on foot, accompanied by a peasant boy who carried their valises, and the warden of the palace was very wroth and dis turbed. "If you don't go away instantly I will set the dogs on you," cried the irate warden from a window. "But we must have lodgings for the night," pleaded the prince. "Get it where you will, not here," cried the warden; "this is no inn for tramp bicyclists." "We did not come by wheel —we are automobilists." "Automobilists or bicyclists makes no difference —we have no room for tramps," snapped the official. Now Henry got mad. "Open instant ly," he commanded —"instantly, I say, or you will presently find yourself with out a job." The warden then thought he recog nized the voice and consented, though with ill grace, to come down and have a look at the strangers. Five minutes later a lantern was placed against the peep-hole in the gate, and the war den recognized his master. Then, of course, the official nearly brokw his back scraping and bowing, but one of his dogs retained temerity enough to tear Henry's trousers. Duke Took Tire-Woman's Savings. BERLIN, Nov. 22. —Anna Milewsky's suit against the duke of Schleswig, the empress' brother, for restitution of 18,000 marks, which his highness 1 rep resentative tcok away from her in Cairo, was postponed the moment the testimony got damaging to Schleswig. It was, however, proved that Anna Milewsky, while confidential companion to the late Princess Amalie of Schles wig, kept her highness out of her own purse whenever the duke's remittances were late in materializing, which hap pened quite frequently. The duke was bound by the courts to pay the princess $3,700 per year, which was all the in come she had, but his highness paid only in driblets, and often the amounts were long overdue, as the princess' diary, submitted to the court, showed. A year or so ago Princess Amalie died in Cairo and the duke sent his adju tant to close up her affairs. The adju tant found, in the princess' treasury 18,000 marks supplied by Anna, and at once confiscated them, despite the tire-woman's protect.. The money was used to give her late highness a splen did burial. At this point the court ad journed sine die, the inference being that the judge thought; things were getting too hot for Schleswig. Anna Milewsky was beggared by the duke's high-handed proceedings and is suing as a pauper. Russia Uses Turks Unceremoniously. MADRID, Nov. 22.—The government will exert every energy to make the cortes pass the bill of the minister of justice, intended to muzale the press.

BERLIN, Nov. 22.—Augustinus Bo tota, of Guatemala, was sentenced to four months in jail for paying his bills in jewelry stores with worthless South American paper money, passing it for greenbacks. After his term in the German jail he will be turned over to Queen Wilhelmina's bailiffs and later on to the Belgium authorities, as he committed the same fraud in Belgium and Holland. Six Months for Duelling Professor. ROTSTOCK, Nov. 22.—Prof. Binder, of this university, was sentenced to six months for fighting a duel with Gen. Pazensky.

BERLIN, Nov. 22.—The wife of Am bassador White is receiving many to kens of affection and esteem from German societies all over the country.

The American church also honored Mrs. White by a banquet and address. Mrs. White has prepared a valuable paper on the cathedrals of Germany, England and Prance and on their architects.

BERLIN, Nov. 22. —The government proposes to tax the "drink-money" re ceived by street car conductors from passengers who are humane enough to try and keep them from starving.

The Berlin street cars are among the greatest money-makers in Germany. Four-Year-Old Chaffeur.

It is asserted that more gum Is manu factured and consumed in Cleveland than in any other city in the world, and the two greatest manufacturers of chewing gum are numbered among Its merchant princes. They find it difficult to spend their incomes. But Chicago can claim the second place, and the best judges estimate that Chicago people use about a ton of gum a day—that is, 2,000 boxes containing 200,000 pieces and costing $2, --000. That is a very small expenditure for trie amount of pleasure and good that is derived from the habit; for, while gum chewing may not be refined or elegant, it is considered very healthful.

All of? have tended to create a greaijjfc in the Na tional Guard. 1- TTiere are still many improvements needed, and in all prob ability a larger .appropriation will be asked from th^^omilrg legislature. A military depot is badly needed in which quartermaster stores and sup plies may be stored. The grounds need improving and approaches to the lake should be built Gen. Libbey will make a special ef fort during the next two years to see that suitable armories are maintain ed in the various towns so that greater interest and efficiency may be ac quired by the companies. Cities refus ing to take proper care of their military company will find It to their loss should the least provocation arise to warrant its removal. No companies will be assigned to new towns unless an agreement is entered into to erect an armory and provide suitable main tenance. Since the muster out of Co. L, at Morris last spring the Third regiment has only had eight companies. A spir ited contest has been, on since that time between the cities of Crookston, Hutchinson, Two Harbors, Fairmont and Little Falls to secure the vacancy. Crookston has finally secured the plum, having made the best showing and promised a new armory- The com pany will be full, with seventy-six officers and men. Lieut. Harry L. Kel ler, who for several years was first lieutenant of --)Coi B, First regiment, and who also served with that com pany in the Thirteenth Minnesota volunteer infantry, has been chosen as captain, and {T^fA.; B,ates, who also served with Co.

'** • '• • The complete supply of Vol. 1 of ithe Rebellion records has been exhausted and the coming legislature will be asked to authwfze the printing of fur ther copies. The adjutant general still has about 2,000 copies of VoL 2, but the demand is greater for the first volume, as it contains a complete roster of Minnesota volunteers in the Rebellion. • • * The annual meeting of the ©Seers of the National Guard will be hSTd in the state capitol building on Satur day, Dec. 27. Officers desiring to be present will be furnished with trans portation, but no pay for time in at tendance will be allowed. MaJ. H. V. Eva, of Duluth, is Dresideut of the a&- sciation, and Capt. F. W. Matgon, of SL Paul, is secretary. There are many matters of interest to come up for dis cussion, prominent among which will be the advisability of continuing the holding of the annual inspections in camp. There are many who strongly oppose these camp inspections and others who are just as strongly in fa vor of it. The advisability of again sending delegates to the Interstate Na tional" Guard association will also come up. The action of the officers of this association in approving "a bill for pas sage by congress that had been con demned by the association in conven tion is most heartily disapproved, and many states which sent delegates to Washington last January will refuse to do so again, and Minnesota may ba one of these states. ; . Another attempt will be made this year to ha ye. the compiling 1 and print ing authorized of a history of the Min nesota troops in the late war. Gen. Libbey has records on hand from w-hich an excellent history can be com piled. • * * Maj. Geo. C. Lambert, chairman of the National Guard committee on leg islation, which is also the executive committee, will call the committee \iri session probably next week to deter -mine on recommendations for legisla tion. In all probability an increase of the appropriation b.y $10,000 will be asked, which amount is necessary at the present-time. The adjutant gen eral has been seriously handicapped for lack of funds, : This will provide for camps of advanced rifle practice and improvement of camp grounds. An attempt will be made next year to re cover the Washburn trophy from Illi nois, and it may be necessary to send a team to that state. With the many excellent shots in Minnesota it is also thought that the state could gain ad ditional honors by sending a team to Sea Girt next fall to compete with teams from all over the world. Col. Van Duzee, commanding the Third regiment, has announced that if the state does not send a team there next year he will send his regiment team even if it is necessary for him person ally to defray the entire expense. An election has been ordered in the engineer company, St. Paul, next Mon day evening to elect a second lieuten ant in place of A. C. Eddy, who has removed from the city. In all proba bility First Sergeant E. Schroeder will be chosen for the vacancy. The com pany is in excellent shape and has some most important work outlined for next year. * * • The recent ruling of the supreme court on the St. Paul armory bond is sue, declaring them illegal, has tem porarily placed a ban on the project. The course that will now be pursued is to get the entire Ramsey county del egation to approve a bill legalizing the issue. Maj. George C. Lambert has been unceasing in his efforts to secure a new armory for St. Paul, and if per sistence is any assurance, the city will soon have a new armory. * * • Much interest is manifest through out the state over the project of the brigade attending the St. Louis expo sition in 1904, and many companies have commenced the creation of a fund for this purpose. * * • Col.

The St. Paul companies are now drilling regularly. Company C, First regiment, Capt. E. M. Conrad, drills on Monday evenings; Company E, First regiment, Capt W. C.

Brisbin, quartermaster of the Third regiment, and whose home has been in St. Paul for many yeara, has removed to Minneapolis, where he has accepted a position as passenger agent for the Burlington road. At the coming session of congress the Dick bill, providing for the main tenance of the National Guard, will be strongly urged by the war department. This bill, while it is generally suppos ed to be in the best Interests of the militia, will not be urged as strongly as may be supposed by members of the National Guard. At the last session of the Interstate National Guard associa tion a bill was recommended for pas sage by congress, and Maj. Gen. Chas. Dick, of Ohio, president of the associa tion, and member of congress, was au thorized to introduce the bill. • • * Indignation Is rife among the mem bers of the National Guard in many of the Western states over an editorial recently published in. the Army and Navy Journal attacking the National Guard. This representative of the reg ular army refers to them as "The Cheap Defense of Nations." It fur ther says: "The National Guard has so many points of weakness that any attempt to make use of it as a means of national defense would subject us to great risks at a critical moment. The United States should place no depen dence upon organizations which axe one thing in one state and another thing in another, and are at the best subject to conditions which make them an uncertain reliance in the case of war. * • • The existence upon the statute book of the antiquated law of 1792 governing the militia is proof that it is easier to obtain legislation for the regular army than for the militia, and the result is far more effective." Na tional Guards men seem to feel that this publication, which has always been antagonistic to the National Guard, has lost sight of the fact that during the late war the state troops conducted themselves In a manner that won for them hearty approval. Maj. OBcar Seebach, as summary court officer of the First regiment, has had his hands full lately in looking af- ter men who persistently refuse to at tend . drill. He has found it neces sary to fine several members, ranging from $1 to $10, for their carelessness. Only one man, M. J. O'Toole, has re fused to pay the fine imposed, and un less he does so by Monday the sheriff will be instructed to commit him to the county jail in default of payment. His fine : was $3 and the law provides for the commitment of one day in jail for each $2 fine. • • * The members of Merwin M. Carltop camp, Philippine war veterans, held its regular meeting last Wednesday evening, and entertained members of Archie Patterson camp, of Minneapolis. An excellent programme for the even ing's entertainment was enjoyed by all. It was decided to give a dance in the Armory on the evening of Dec 1, the proceeds to go toward raising a fund for next year's work. Corporal R. W. (Buck) Stevenson. Co. C-l, has resigned and removed from the city. He has accepted a po sition on the road, and will hereafter have headquarters in Omaha. He is one of the old members of Co. C, and very popular. Capt Conrad has not decided on who shall fill the vacancy, but it }s most probable that non-coms, in Co, C. will hereafter be required to pass an examination. • * * Co. G-l, of Red Wing, has organized an athletic association with Capt O. M. Nordly as manager and instructor Sergeant Fred Seebach is pres ident, Sergeant Charles Stock well vice president, and Cor poral Hobart secretary and treas urer. The object is to create a greater interest In athletic sports and hopes are entertained of securing contests with other companies in the state. An indoor baseball team will be se lected and a match game with one of the St Paul companies will occur early In December. Lieut W. L. Wallace, Co, D-2, Northfield, has resigned under pres sure, and the company will soon meet to elect two lieutenants, as First Lieut. P. A. Delford has moved to this city and resigned hia commission.
