Wm - Commander Craven Yielded Life That Pilot Might Be Saved. The higher and more valuable a life the more ready it is to lay Itself at the service of others. It would some times seem that the sacrifice were too great, as in the example Instanced by Mr. Hutchinson in his "Battle of Mo bile Bay." Yet the very act of heroism impresses the merit of the whole char acter with a dignity and worth which carries it far in Influence and rev erence. During the battle a Bhot from the shore struck a cask torpedo and ex ploded it near the Tecumseh. \ hole was torn In the bottom 20 feet square, and the ram sank like a stone,'turn ing over as it went down . in eight fathoms of water. One Hundred and ten men out of 120 were lost in an in stant. Commander Craven, one of the most gallant officers of the service, was in the pilot-house with the pilot, close to the only opening in the vessel. There was only room for one man to pass. Craven felt himself grasped by the leg. It was the pilot. "Let me get out first, for God's sake, captain!" he cried. "I have five little children." The captain drew.hack. * "Go on, sir," he said, and he went down with the ship, while the pilot was saved. First door below Palace Restaurant is the place. KING EDWARD SUFFERS FROM SERIOUS MALADY i His Throat is Affected With the Same Disease That Troubles Germen Kaiser. TOO MUCH TRLKING WILL RREED TROUBLE Model Liquor Saloons Established by the London Institute of Hygiene. Patrons 8it Down at Tables to Be Served. Special Cable to The Dally News. By Richard Abercom. Hearst News Service. London, May 16.—The same throat disease which necessitated the Kais er's latest visit to England has, it is feared, also affected King Edward for it is now openly admitted that his Majesty's health gives reason for grave concern and that he will have to spend a considerable part ef the summer on the island of Wight, where he owns a small and very unpretent ious estate Barton Manor near Cowes. The visit of the King to the Scan dinavian countries, where the weather was very wftitry and raw, offset all the benefit he had derived from his stay at. Sunny-Blarrltz and it will take some time before he will recover. Decorators, are now busy fitting up the king's apartments at Barton Manor nnder the direction of his Majesty's sister, Princess Louise, Duchess of Argyll. The king and queen will stay at' the Manor during Cow-es week and Queen Alexandra will then probably leave for her new bungalow where she will stay until she again goes to Denmark to spend a few months with her sister the Dowager Empress of Russia at Hivideoere Castle between Copenhagen and Elisnore. King Edward will stay at Barton Manor indefinitely and will have to lead a very simple life his physicians having forbidden him to drink wine with exception of a very light white Burgundy and cut down his cigars to three a day. At first they Insisted that the King stop smoking altogether but this he positively refused to do. Talking Causes Disease. A London clergyman holds that ex cessive talking is the cause of the majority of nervous diseases and of Insanity. The Rev. B. S. Lombard advanced this theory in a lecture on "Silence as a Factor In Healing" de livered to the "PByche ThereapCutic Society." "People silent by nature" affirms Mr. Lombard, "are never ill. Very often those whom the specialists re ceive in their consulting rooms are great talkers. To talk about symp toms is afatal habit." Mr. Lombard quoted the case of a lady wfio came -to his house badly brdken down. She had been to specialists without resulf, and now came to him for a silence cure. After staying for some time and avoiding talk slje left perfectly cured. Unfortunately her woman friends forced her to talk so much in describ ing the cure that she got ill again. A London specialists. Dr. Stenson Hooker, suggests that every hospital should set apaj-t at least one room for the silence cure. Model Liquor Saloon. A model liquor saloon has Just been opened at the London Institute of Hy giene as a pattern' for practical tem perance reformers. The Institute's idea of the liquor saloon is entirely different from average London Bar, and resembles rather the Continental cafe. „ Instead of ordering refreshments at the bar, as is universal in ^England* today, Institute suggests that the customers should sit at small marble-topped tables and have their drinks brought to them by attendants, and that they should be supplied with music, illus trated papers, chess and dominoes. According to a famous surgeeon, William Bennett, who organized show, the abolition of the drinking bar, the provision of"food as well drink, and to establishment of rational amusements, are the lines upon which English llquori reformers must ceed. ~.\ ' Wage Temperance War. The English Temperance War, which is being waged so geverly ed between reformers and liquor ers is about to have an amazing issue, comic operatic in its conception. While the emperate Parliamentary Party are fighting tooth and nail to reduce the consumption of liquor out side the IJouse _ of Commons, it is curious to note that the consummation of alcohol inside the House increases year by year. One outspoken member has igone so far to refer to this in public and he has covertly hinted at many well-known politicians who, thanks to the special facilities at the House of Commons, are in-danger of becoming drunkards. One of the liquor men's Party, Mr. F. E. Smith, a youthful lawyer who promises to become a power in the political world, has just drafted a Bill prohibiting the sale of alcohol in the preclnctB of the House and, curiously enough, the only opposition to it comes .from the Temperance party. They af firm that, as leaders of temperate thought, their teaching would lose most of its efficacy if their abstinence was compulsory Instead of being the result of wtli power. There is no credit in resisting a temptation that doesn't exist, they say. But Mr. Smith declares that of the thousands of gallons of Whiskey which are annually consumed in Par liament- the greater part goes down "temperate" throats. There is more hypocricy to the square inch tn The English House of Commons than in any other legislative assembly in the world. of to to the on to ANCIENT ITALIAN - FESTIVAL SEASON BEGINS AT GUBBIO ity ed by of in Henrst News Service. Rome, May 16.—Thousands of pil grims from all parts of Itlay and from other lands are gathered today in the little Umbrian town of Guflblo, to wit ness the famous procession of the ceri, whiih the natives hold every year on May 15 in honor of their patron saint and former bishop, St. Ubaldo. This quaint ceremonial dates back to the mists of antiquity and is said to have been of heathen origin. A ceri is a tall wooden pole or mast which passes through the middle of two lantern shaped frames of wood and vancas, separated from each other and surmounted by the figure oi a saint. The lower extremity of the mast fits into a wooden stretcher pro vided. with two long shafts, one at each end, so that it can be borne along the steep streets and up .the mountain side above the town on the stalwart backs of the young^and vigorous. These ceri are three in number, and each is surmounted by the image of a separate saint'—the first bf that of St. Ubaldo, the second by that of St. George and the thrd by that of St. Antonio. ■ St. George's ceri rests on supports representing a heap of wine barrels, a collection from various - shops, a drum mace and battleax and a pile of spears, because that warrior saint is ,the patron of the shop keepqjg, as ac cording tb Napoleon, he was in Eng land. At 5 o'clock in the afternoon the bishop gives his benediction to the ceri, and then at a given signal the eeraioli dash down the steep Va Dante at full speed, bearing the three ceri in rapid succesesion round the town. All the time the great bell of the palace is tolling; finally the behrers of the ceri rush wildly thrice around the square. Then out of the square the procession rushes up the hill to the gate of St. Ubaldo.' which leads through the lvyciad walls to the hill side. . ^ j At the gate the bearers rest a few minutes. Then off they start, and scion St. Ubaldo's yellow cop# and St George's blue cloak, followed by St. Antonlq's black habit, may be decried speeding up the steep serpentines of Monte Ingino. Arrived at the top, St. Ubaldo is first admitted into the tqon-. astery, gyrates three times.around the court, his image isthen carried into court, his image is "then carried into the procession is at an endn. ex of on de re are -to She and for been Hy tem the bar, the they illus Sir the as which pro ■ _ SPECIAL.

ADUSE5 IN NATAL RIVAL ATROCITIES OF CONGO - Radicals Denounce British Government For . Timidity in the Situation. London, May 16.—Humanitarian Radicals are indignant with the gov ernment for its supineness and timid ity in its dealings with the scandal ous abuses which are being perpetrat ed against the native Zulu population by the British colony at Natal. They are almost as bad as the Congo. Two years ago .martial law, which. Strictly^ speaking, is not recognized by the British constitution, was pro claimed in Zululand as an instrument of repression against the colored pop ulation", and it has not only remained in force ever jtince, but it is being administered with a severity and con tempt for legality absolutely without precedent. Shooting, ijanging, flogging and im prisonment have been going on whole sale, an^ every attempt of the natives to get redress has been treated con temptuously by the government of Natal. The British government made a fee ble attempt to induce Natal to-abolish martial law, but met with a contemp tuous rebuff, and has since done noth ing. How necessary is some deci sive action may be judged from the fact that under martial jaw twenty OUSTED CLAQUE HAS NO OTHER WAY TO LIVE.

Hearst News Service. Frankfort, May 16.—A strange light is thrown on the present position of the Dalai Lama of Tibe't, by dispatches published here from Shanghai. It will be remembered that the Dalai Lama flpd into China on the appear ance of- the British expedition under Colonel Younghusband, and he has re mained in China ever since that time, in a position not a little pathetic, and at the same time somewhat ridicu lous. The Chinese Government is anxious for him to return to T as his up keep is extremely cbgi natives were executed, 7,000 flogged and 22,000 cast Into jail. The floggings were administered with barbarous severity, the backs of the- natives, according to official wit nesses, being "cutjnto ribbons." The measures of repression were adopted against a so-called "native rebellion." the "seriousness" of which may be Judged from the fact that the colons ial losses amounted to nine men, whereas 3,000 natives were killed. A few months ago the excited col onists of Natal invented a second na tive "rebellion," the head of which was supposed to be Dinizulu, the Zulu chief. A strong force was marched Into Dinizulu's country and everything possible done tq create A genuine re bellion, but the Zulus refused to fight. Dinizulu surrendered himself and is now on trial for high treason and murder. The Natal government re fuses him a fair trial, and has done everything possible to prevent him preparing his defense. A large part of the Radical party is highly indignant over these lawless proceedings, and will' take strong measures to force the imperial government to intervene and protect the Zulus against further ill | treatment. _ The men who earned an honest liv ing by the exercise of their hands are appealing to the newspapers, complain ing that the director's are taking the bread out of their mouths when they are too old to enter upon another profession. falls, of course, upon the Chinese Ex chequer His suite consists of about 400 persons, with whom are 300 horses and 900 ''camels, and all have td— fed and cared for by the Chined^Bf authorities. lHBj The Dalai Lama, however, is not at all anxious to return to Tibet, fearing apparently, that his authority has suf-' fered as a result pf his flight. At any rate he is delaying his return as long * as possible. First door below Is the place. Palace Restaurant i-A, — Coplon sells i
