Who Deserted (he Jcsuii Faith — Royal Patronage at the Charily Ball—Hi', and Sirs, ltun- GHOULS AT WORK. Under the Cover of Darkness Many Graves Are Opened. Indianapolis, Feb. 18.—Yesterday morning Sexton Kelley, of the Hebrew cemetery, discovered that ghouls had Invaded his charge during the night and a hasty examination revealed the fact that several graves had been opened and the bodies carried away. Friends of the deceased were notified and a further examination showed that three bodies had been taken. A warrant was sworn out on an affidavit charging that the body of Benjamin Fallender had been stolen and on this authority the police made the round of the colleges but -could not find Fnllender's body or that of any on« else whom the Hebrews recognized. It Is now believed that the other graves were robbed several days ago and that the namaa are being withheld to keep friends la ignorance of the affair. an events, wora nas come fro>m the court circle that his majesty did not Intend to distinguish Hoensbroech in any manner, but was merely curious to learn what changed his religious convictions and when he decided to declare his conversion. The Reichsbota and Kreuzzeltung protest that as the head of the Prussian Evangelical church, the emperor had the best right In the world to question a new member as to his reasons for becoming a Protestant, especially when that member is being persecuted for his new faith by former friends of Ills family. Most of the newspapers, outside the clerical party organs, say merely that it is the emperor's duty and privilege to speak with everybody received at court and that nobody lias the right to critioUe him for hia courtesy. Our AmbMudor "At Home." Ambassador Runyon and Mrj. Runyon will be at home from 3 to S o'clock on Washington's birthday. The embassy has received recently numerous applications from American visitors for presentation at court Mr. Runyon has answered that It Is quite Impossible to grant these requests.

Brooklyn, N. Y., Feb. 18.—The Homan Manufacturing company of New Jersey has! an appliance called the Homan wheel finder and safety attachment for street ears, which covers all the requirements necessary for the preservation of life and limb to those coming In contact with the dangerous trolley cars. The appliance, besides having a takeup device In front, has a netting which extends entirely around the bottom of the car, covering the wheels, making it lmpo~=lble for anything to come in contact with them. The Inventor is Frank H. Homan of 140 Madison street. (This Brute Most Hani?. Cleveland, Feb. 18.—Lafayette Prince, the wife murderer, has been sentenced by Judge Noble to be hanged on May 29. Prince's crime was one of the most brutal on record. His wife had left him because of Ms ill-treatment and ppoa her refusal to return to him Prince secured an axe and after decoying his wife to the street literally chopped her to pieces. Mra. (Sewnil Talks. Mrs. Sewall, the president of the National council, told a United Press reporter something about the council and what it expected to accomplish. She said its practical work was conducted through the agency of four standing committees namely: The committee on dress, the committee entitled "Equal Pay for Equal Work;" the committee on divorce, and the committee on patriotism. Mrs. Sewall suggested that to the male mind this might seem a curious assortment, both very feminine and very masculine, and In explanation she said: "In proportion as a thing Is perfect you know It must contain both feminine and masculine elements. But I do not know that dress is really more feminine than it Is masculine. Men and women alike need to be clothed. The dress of women undoubtedly affects the health and the financial circumstances of men even more than the dress of men does. However, I suppose it Is patriotism which men may think masculine. Certainly It cannot be divorce reform, since as it is impossible for any divorce to be granted that does not affect one man and one woman, that subject must be of equal masculine and feminine interest. We are sometimes told that patriotism is on the decline. I do not believe It. The highest test of patriotism that the world has hitherto demanded of a man is that he should be ready to die ior his country. I am sure that day is dawning when a test superior to this will be the wlllingnesa of the men to live for their country; and In the development of this patriotism, as In the burdens of the former patriotism, women must bear their share. The new patriotism must mean such an Interest In the daily affairs of one's country that one will be willing to forego some .ease, some pecuniary emolument In order to give his personal attention to public affairs."

London, Feb. 18.—Prof. Mlnas Tcheraz, editor of the Armenia, says ha has letters from Turkey telling of more outrages. The Turks have seized several parties of peasants who were leaving the disturbed districts for the frontier, he says, have killed the men and have carried off the women. His correspondents report that elsewhere th* Kurds have killed all the AnnenlaM of any local reputations. Another story Is to the effect that some 200 Armenians, held as political prisoners In Van, are tortured periodically with the bastinado and hot Iroaa and during the recent cold weather were obliged to go outdoors wtthnat. clothes. Was Denounced Bitterly. The emperor roused the Ire of the Roman Catholics by singling out Count Hoensbroech for a long conversation at last week's court ball. Hoensbroech deserted the Jesuit order, published pamphlets against It, joined the Evangelical church, and fever since has been denounced bitterly by the whole Catholic press. That Emperor William should treat him with any •pedal favor, has been resented by Catholics as dlsrepect of their faith. The matter was regarded ma of small Importance until the agitation of the clerical editors seemed to threaten the maturing friendship between the chancellor and the Catholic deputies. Prince Hofcealohe felt that his pl$n pC a clerical-conservative alliance Vm in danger and Is understood to men.- ttonei Jhts twr« to the ttaSKStT. At yon Guests-Tariff DimetissIon. Berlin, Feb. 18.—Th« money aristocracy of this city, who hold sway ic society Just outside the nobility and court, had their annual carnival, th« subscription ball, at the Royal opera house. As usual the aftair was under the personal patronage of the em peror and empress. This Is the great opportunity of the season for those Berliners who ar« sufficiently rich to help public charities and are debarred from the capital's high life and the charmed circle of the Old Castle. It Is In fact theii only chance to see among them the Imperial family and the attendant noblemen. The emperor is the attraction. He goes to draw the big bankers and shopkeepers and their families and thus swell the charity fund, and the ladles and gentlemen of his household go because he does. Stood Shoulder to Shoulder, The subscription ball Is noteworthy also as marking the end of the soda' •eason, which this year ha« been remarkible for the strain put upon the social leaders. To call it a ball, however, is hardly 'correct. The parquet of the big opera house had been bulll over with an even dancing floor. The space seemed ample until the guests began to arrive, but as early as G o'clock It was evident that dancing would be hardly possible. The guestp were then densely packed, standing shoulder to shoulder without even room enough to shift positions without risking torn clothes and frowns of remonstrance.Americans Favored. The emperor and the empress stay»d until 11 o'clock. The emperor was In good spirits. He greeted all his acquaintances warmly and visited freely the occupants of the diplomatic boxes. After a few minutes with M. Herbette, the French ambassador, and Mme. Herbette, he for some time with Mr. and Mrs. Runyon. He and the American ambassador exchanged stories with such success that the parquet rang with their laughter. During the rest of the evening the Runyone got a good share of public attention as they were supposed to have been especially favored by the emperor. With supper over and the court gone, the crowd on the floor began to decrease rapidly before midnight. By half past twelve it was possible to dance and between 1 and 2, when the ball closed, there were many couples on the floor.
