FATAL RIOT 111
GENERAL STRIKE
OF GOLD MINERS
Johannesburg, South Africa, July 5
Rioting connected -with the genera
strike of the gold miners on the Rand,
which yesterday caused the death of
four civilians and the wounding of
50 others in a fight between the strik
ers and the troops, continued through
out the night.
At midnight, a mob looted a " gun
smith's store and firing became gen
eral. Squads of cavalry with drawn
swords patrolled all the streets, fre
quently charging and scattering
groups of rioters who as frequently
collected again, bent on looting the
stores and destroying the electric
lamps; the light from which helped
the troops to discover the disturbers'
whereabouts.
Firing was Incessant for hours after
midnight in the riot area - and many
casualties occurred but it was impos
sible to obtain accurate details. The
police and troops showed great re
straint throughtout the affair.

Rome, July 5. Whatever the future
may hold of sorrow or Joy for the
royal children of Italy, the son and
three email daughters of King Victor
Emanuel and Queen Helena will be
able to "look back upon an exception
ally happy childhood. '
The Quirinal Palace in Rome, where
the children live, has its own shaded
gardens, but -lest these should not suf
fice, the King has bought a villa close
to the city to serve as an -open play
ground for the youngsters. This villa
is on the ancient Via Salaria. The
children are often taken out to it in
motor cars, and spend long afternoons
at play with their ponies and other
pets, exactly as though -they were In
the real country;
When spring comes the little prince,
Umberto, aged nine, and his sisters,
Yolanda, "Mafalda and Glovanna, re
spectively twelve, eleven and six years
old, go down ' to' their father's hunting
lodge of Castel Porziano, about fifteen
miles from Rome, r where a scented
wood of pine trees' borders the Med
iterranean and where, dressed in sim
ple and practical clothes, they live in
the open air, bathing and climbing
trees- till they- become as brown as
berries and as hardy as the children
of -the peasants around them. Later
on In the summer they go to the sea
shore at San Rossore, near Pisa, and
later still v to the fine country Castle
of Racconigi. In Piedmont, ' which has
always been . the summer residence; of
the Carlgnano. branch of the House of
Savoy. - :
It used to be the fashion for Italian
children 1 of the better class to dress
elaborately, like miniature .editions of
their parents, but Queen Helena, real
izing how much happier is the life of
boys and girls who . have , not to care
for their clothes, has set the fashion
for simplicity by always dressing her
children -in , loose and comfortable
"sailor suits." Thus arrayed the Roy
al , youngsters enjoy without restraint
the luxuries of digging, gardening and
paddling in the sea. .
The eldest of the family, Princess
Yolanda, is a - handsome girl and al
ways looks well In". her white serge
suits with broad' collars, but she is
rather precocious, as are many Italian
girls, and already shows a truly fem
inine interest In" matters of dress. It
Is a great Joy to her to be allowed to
assist in selecting her mother's mll
llneny. and she chooses hats for the
Queen on a most lavish scale, never
allowing herself to be trammeled by
considerations of expense. Yolanda
admires her beautiful mother intense
ly, and -she was present on a public
occasion recently when some one re
marked to her that the Queen was
looking particularly well. The little
girl answered:
"My mother is the very handsomest
Queen in Europe." After ji ehort pause
she 'added: "And I am going to be
exactly like her."
The resemblance between mother and
daughter is most striking.
Paris, July 5. "Art for the Child" Is
the title of an interesting little exhibi
tion now open in Paris. The object Is
to brighten the surroundings and to
train the sense of beauty of the child,
and numbers of delightful toys de
signed with this end in view are dis
played. M. Leo Clareti, one of the
principal organizers of the exhibition,
says:. "If art Is to be instilled into
the masses , It must be done in infan
cy, and a surviving tendency must be
created before dally labor begins to
diminish leisure."
Many attractive and Interesting
things are on view, but it is noticeable
that no dolls' houses are displayed.
Instead, modern boys and girls are to
have their own little bungalows in the
garden. These tiny summer houses

Berlin, July 8. The dedfction of a
"Fairyland Fountain" m a. publlo t-rftc
of Berlin was one of the municipality's
contributions toward celebrating the
quarto-centennial of the Emperor's
reign.
The original design for thla foun
tain was finished and shewn at in art
exhibition twelve years ago. After
having been approved by the ponce
authorities, the design -came back to
the City Hall with the Information
that the Emperor declined to pass It.
His criticism was that the figures rep
resenting the famous charactem in
fairy stories -were made mere details
in the general architectural scheme mo
that the children, for whom the foun
tain was Intended, could scarcely rec
ognize their-story book favorlteaL E"l
Majesty recommended that this
"grown-up" allegorical design fee re
jected, the fairy heroes and heroines
be brought together In groups, and
above all he advised the municipal
officials to secure the services of ionn
sculptor who had shown his ability -to
do work ' In a way that appealed "ta f
children.
The Emperor's Interference caused
much unfriendly criticism in the news- !
papers, and the city fathers argued
that he had exceeded his authority, i
Nevertheless, they appointed a com
mittee to consider his suggestion. The ;
services of a Munich sculptor were j
secured, and after several years . new .
design was approved by both the Elm- J
peror and the city.
The fountain hajs seen ereetea, ana
now Berlin children are revelling In
the wonderful playground where they
may see the heroes of their story
books. , The figures are placed in
groups arOUna IWO imnmn, iuo j
of which covers nearly mar an acre.
Red Riding Hood is there, and so Js j
the Wolf. Here also Is Jack-in-Luck j
and his Pig, Pue-in-Boots, Clnderelia
p-- vPr sltnper, Sleeping Beauty, and '
all the rest , of the old time favorite. !
The whole conception Is a happy oiw, i
the poetry of the child life Is fitting! y j
embodied in lasting stone amid beau- ,
tlful surroundings, and it la agreed on J
all eides that much credit, for the final
success of the idea, is due Emperor
William for his rejection of the first
designs.
