BOSTON MAKING READY 'Many North Carolinians Will Attend N. . A. at Boston i. .Hon. J. Y. .Toyner Is the Second Southern Man to Hold Presidency of the Association Convention Will Open July 4 GovY Kltchln Will Sneak. North Carolinians are especially In terested in the meeting of the Na ' tlonal Educaton Association at Bos ton this year. The gathering appeals strongly to southern teachers, be cause the Bouth for the first time in a quarLer of a century and for only the second time In the history of the Na tional Education Association and North Carolina in its whole history has received distinctive recognition In the election of Hon. J. Y. Joyner, State Superintendent of Public In structlon, as president of the associa tion. : Inquiries from various sections of the state, from those not in any way connected with the schools, as well as from teachers, indicate that the ex ceedingly low rate and the attract iveness of the program will induce many to go who wish to take advant age of this opportunity to visit Bos ton. Side trips from Boston and stop-over privileges with the railroad and steamship companies have been arranged, and they are so varied that it is impossible to conceive of a reasonably desired arrangement that is not afforded. The first general session of the National Education Association will be held on the afternoon of July Fourth, in the stadium of Harvard University. The exercises will be in the nature of a patriotic rally appro priate to the day: President Tart, Governor W. W. Kitcnln, of North Carolina, and David Starr Jordan, President of Leland Stanford Junior University, will be the eminent speak ers. President Joyner will preside, of course. In the prepapartion of the program great rare has been taken to secure papers and addresses by the most prominent leaders In the educational work of this country. The permanent secretary says that this seems to him the best program the association has yet had. Tne great general session of the association will be held in the evenings and the departmental meet ing each morning. In the afternoons the visitors will have opportunity to visit the countless attractions of Bos ton and vicinity, historical, educa tional and other kinds. - When the association met at Bos ton a few days ago, the registered attendance was between thirty-four and forty thousand. " The National Education Associa tion is everywhere recogniezd as the largest organization of teachers In the world. This year its meeting promises to equal in attendance any former meeting. The secretary of the association, Or. Irwin Shepard, writes that the demand for Information has already exceeded all records, and twenty thousand more copies of the program bulletin have been issued than ever before. The state super intendent of public lnstructfon of Ar kansas says that a delegation of not less than two hundred will attend from that state alone. The citizens of Boston have con tributed handsomely for the enter tainment of visitors. - On arrival at BoBton the reception committee will give needed directions and other as sistance that may be desired. ' .The following extracts from the Boston Transcript will give a good Idea of the preparations being made for the entertainment of this great association: "By using every room In the Mus eum building and Improvising rooms where none exists the committee "Is enabled to give far better accommo dations to the visiting teachers than could be provided for them when they were here in 1903, with the lim ited' house arrangements available for their use at that time. In this Mus eum building there Is ample room for all hospitality purposes, as no con vention meeting will be held there. One of the novel features will be the stretching of a huge canvas roof over the entire courtyard" In the centre of the building, and the construction of a wooden floor on the, ground. ; This enclosure will be made Into a restau rant, large enough to comfortably seat about four hundred. A postof flce, check room, lounging room, rest room, wrttlnf room reception room, registration room and a large number of other kinds ot rooms are being fitted for their use. 1 "A suite or rooms Including fa en-: tire east wing of the second flaor 1 to be furnished for the comfort of the teachers. This suite Includes two large reception halls, ,ta be hang with pictures and decorated with bay plants; two writing rooms, furnished with writing tablets, desks and mag azines; two large quiet rest rooms, with sixty-three couches, and two dressing rooms, into one of which a service of hot and cold water has been furnished by the generosity of busi ness houses, who have agreed to lend rug, furniture, : plants and other equipment. "The principal entertainment offer ed by the executive committee is un der the direction of Mrs. S. J. Mixter of the hospitality committee. This is to be a reception on July 6 to all the members of the National Education Association on the grounds of the Harvard Medical School. Provision will be made for entertaining from ten to twelve thousand guests. The receiving line will include presidents of colleges and other distinguished citizens. The. Salem Cadet. Band is to play from 4 to 7 p. m. . , The following are the rates for the round trip from a few central points in this state. The rates from inter mediate points are proportionate: Raleigh, $26.05; Charlotte. 28.00; Goldsboro, $26.65; Ashevllle, ?31.35; Durham, $26.00; Winston-Salem, $26.85; Greensboro, $26.00; San ford, $27.30; Wilmington, $29.15; New Bern, $35.00; . Greenville, $33.50. The rates are the same by rail and by water, but those by water include the cost of stateroom and meals. The Lennox Hotel has been engag ed for North Carolina headquarters. North Carolina teachers and visitors will meet a cordial reception here at all times. The rates are reasonable and the hotel is near Copley Square, ' the great art and literary aenter of Boston, near where the general meeting of the association will be held. '; Reservation of rooms in Bos ton Pullman and stateroom accommo dations should be made as, early bb possible. " Full and detailed information In regard to rites and accommodations may be obtained by referring to Su perintendent W. 3. Snipes, Winston Salem, N. C, state director. Pro gram bulletin will also be provided by him. The outlook, fpr an ; exceedingly large attendance from this state comes greatly as a compliment to President Joyner, and as a slgnilicant appreciation to the National Educa tion Association that a southern man has been given the place of honor as its president. -. ,; , AT WESTMINSTER ABBEY. An Added - Interest for American Tourists at the Old Chttrch. ( By Cable to The Times.) London, June 25 -Every American who comes to London visits West minster Abbey as a matter of course, and this summer tourists from the other side will iind an added interest in the ancient, church. This is the "Norman Undercrott ' the only complete portion now re maining of Edward the Confessor s original building," and dates back nearly one thousand years. This Un dercroft is a low vaulted chamber which formed, in other days, the sub structure of the old dormitory of the monks.. Preserved in the Undercroft are the effigies in wood and wax of kings and queens from Edward III. to James I., which were carried at their funerals and placed upon their cof fins In the Abbey. The figures in various stages of de cay, are dressed in rich clothes worn by their living counterparts, and the exhibition is the most curious, if not the most beautiful, to be seen in the Abbey precincts. STORY OF ROGER PALMER, Sentry That He Had Befriended Saved1 His Life. (By Cable to The Times.) London, June 25 A romantic story is told of Sir Roger Palmer, a Crimean veteran, whose death was recently announced. Sir Roger was a lieutenant, aged twenty-two, when the battle of Balaklava, famous for the charge of the "Six Hundred" was fought. The night before the battle he was going the rounds of the camp when he found a sentry of his regiment, the 11th Hussars, asleep at his post. Al though he could have procured the man's trial by court martial, which would have meant a death sentence, Painter decided to say nothing. Next day Palmer led his troop "into the valley of death.' A Russian' cav alry man was about to run his .sword through the lieutenant's body when a trooper ot the Hussars dashed up ah.l clove the man's skull to the chin. It was the sleepy sentry, .who- had thus saved the ofllffleer's life and proved His gratitude. GA UttJ PARIS .

June 25 We are nmv In the In- midst of the social whirl of 1910. ternatlonal society in Pans Is made up of n few thousand people whose name are printed In the ' Gauleis" or tlie Figure." and for-a few weeks each season are seen ni all the great routs and public gatherings. During these brief- weeks these good folk take them selves vetji seriously, indeed. , It is as though. 'they were performing a pub lie duty, which we doubt they Hie. The season of 11110 will go out In a blaze of glorv by reason ot three re markable unctions. The first has al ready taken pluce and was given by an American ladv. The first 1ms already taken place and was given by an American, ludv the Countess tie Rodellee du Porale. The Countess is a daughter iJt' lff , D $ " I r I A 1 r UP' W ,! if.!; iii' ! fei 4 sC fe, of the late General de Trobriend of theate under the magic Of this brilliant Tittle status army. imm uie ."- borhood of her magnltklent Chateau near Karstairs in Brest she brought up to Paris a troupe or preuy singers These Britany girls in pictur esque native, costume sang folk songs to a delighted gathering in the Salons of the countess. Caruso and Mary Gardner was forgotten for the moment. On this occasion the American Countess wore her famous blue diamond for the first time since a Russian diplomat was accused of stealing it. Ode of the other entertainments, which is expected to make a great sen sation, is to be n sparrow ball. The guests are to be dressed to represent sparrows and many ladles are pale with fear lest the costume be un becoming. ' The third function, which Is to close the brilliant season of 1910 is still a mystery, what it is to be or who is to be responsible for it has yet been unannounced. But Andre de Fou quleres Is sure to know, and the first time I meet him I shall ftndout. A relative of mine, the Countess de Maries Bagatelles, lias Just willed to our world famed National Library the manuscript memories of the Marshall de Cast el lane. The MarshaH was one of my most distinguished fighting an cestors, and a near relative of that Castellane who commanded a frigate in the American war Independence. He had a rough and ready tongue like the fighting men of his day, and be was equally outspoken when wielding his pen. Hence it Is well that the Count ess has Imposed the condition that these memories be unpublished for still an other forty years. True Count Victor de Castellane as the Marshall was called died In 1863. Yet there are things In these memories (such as cowardice, Incapacity, treason and 'other unmUi tary qualities) laid to the door of many of our oldest aristocracy, as would be very painful rending for their families Indeed. ; ' Recently It has become Quito- usual to bequeath manuscripts to the Insti tute of France. and the National Li brary to1 b opened thirty or forty years hence, as the case may be. The custom Is a wise one. I think it v. Ill prevent many duels. i I have just received an athance copy of a new book of pnemi for plas by Miss Matilda Barney Miss Bainey and her sister. Miss Lauia Cllftoid Bainey, of Washington, aie both well known In the literary woild as in the artistic and excuslve social st of Pails. One of the plays in the book bt f ore me deals with the Gietk poetess Sappha, who lived, as we all know, five hundred years belore the Chris tian era. Another plaj Is laid in Avingnon In France at the time It was ruled by the Popes. Miss Barney has written some very beautiful veises most of which has been inspired b a sojourn In Venice. Madame Lucls Felix Fi.iure Go,iu is one of the leading feminists in France. The only daughter of the late president of the rapubllt f-he devotes her life to philanthropy, and literature and the woman's moveimnt Hei hus band. Monsieur GovAu is the editor of the "Revue des deux Monde1- " Madame Goyan latest book treats of that fairies. She insists the aie th mysterious offsprings of .i minor older of divinities. In this bonk we learn all about the origin of the divads, wood nymphs, elfs, hobgoblins and brownies.

Chandler and his brid e, tl.e former Una Cavalieri, the fa mous opera singer, known as the most beautiful woman in the world. The manlase recently took place in Paris ami was a snipnse to all but. the few intimate friends of the couple. After the ceremony the brnle and groom proceedetl to the bride's house uheie the si mints were instructed to tell all callers, except a privileged feu that Mr. and Mi. ('hauler had gone to the country. " Since the appearance of tins book Madam Goyau is nicknamed by her friends and intimates "Queen of the Fairies." Among Madame Goyau's best known writings is a book on Card inal Newman England's great liter ary Cardinal. A perfect epidemic of what I might call statute-mania has recently broken out In France. Formerly erected sta tutes to our illustrious dead, but now we erecet statueH to everybody. For instance Mistrll, the poet Prov ence, is still hole and hearty, and yet his statue has been set up in the pub lic square at Aries. . Now there Is a movement on foot at Aix les Bains to erect a statue to its patron Pierpont Morgan. One day. the great financier discovered the main thoroughfare was not enough to per mit his automobile and a pedestrian to pass at the same time. He Immedi ately gav a cheque to nave tne street widened. Now as many as two pedes trians and Mr. Morgan's automobile can easily pass. Hie grateful Inhabit ants have named a boulevard after Morgan and they want to erect a sta tue to him as well. You perceive they are not lacking in gratitude. The Empress Eugene made Trouville, Mrs. Hughes Hallet made Dinard and certainly Mr. Morgfan may be said to have made Aix. We have statues of Washington and Franklin and, Horace Wells the Dentist. Why "should not Aix have a statue of Pierpont Morgan? i The unpeakable Turk hangs out a sine ag on the Island of Crete. The reason the ag Is made of sine is the islanders would destroy any less heroic substance. The Cretans are Greeks. They always have been and they sny they always will be dreeks. "You insist upon being Greeks?" Bay the 1 great united powers of Europe, "very well .then ' you shall remain Turks". It may be imagined the peor pie are not pleased with this method of government. We do not Wvance W (Continued on Page Ten.) : Many Things Have Happened In Last Few Weeks The Russian Vote Reform Voters Are Divided Into Three Classes But They Want a Change so That Ail Can Vote Alike Liwt Scene in Militn ry Trufteiljt. Hi Inrich T Rf Innei t.) "i Tin v live fast in Germany, not all happened in the last Berlin-. : U li it ha few uerks, niatteisof International im pel tanee Colonel lioosi velt's visit, King Eduuids death, HalUy comet and a lot of things of minor Importance. They all seem almost forgotten, while one heais dlsiusslons on ever side the two questions -of the dav; the vote reform and the Silionehiuk dial at Allenstelii. Tills Pruhsion voti relorm is polltl calh ' the most minus thing that ever happened." Before the 'so-called reform not one Piussinn out of fifty could have explained the woikmg ot if, now, nof one in fie hunditd tan tell, what It Is all . bout Pi iiMsia dividts Its voters into three classes, a lii-t. a second and a third class. Ail have an equal right to vote foi tht 11 eleitois, vtjikh again vote for then candidates So fai they are equal. But the classes are. divided according to Income. For instance: a certain dis trict pays 1(10.000 marks in income taxes; which the first class very likely has paid In one half, the second class three-tenths and the third class two tenths. Consequently, says the state, the first class has the right to elect one half of the electors allowed this district! the second three-tenths and the third two-tenths. This two-tenths, however, very likely represents a hundred times the amount of population of the first class, regardless of Income. ' To the American, that will seem Just. In Germany, the things look somewhat different., America, has, to all intents and purposes, no social-democracy, be cause she does not need it. There Is neither room nor call for such a party. What is called social democracy in America, is actually either an anarch istic movement, not worthy to be taken into consideration. or a labor move ment. Here, in Germany It is a very strong political party.. Every man has a right to vote, but If every man's vote would carry equal strength, then the law-making body would consist to the very greatest part of social democrats. The law-makiirg would then, no doubt become so detrimental to to the middle and upper classes and their Interests would be so very much neglected, that the thing would become an' injustice. And so, what had to happen, has hap pened. In spite of all demonstrations and noise, the radical change In the voting clamored for by th third class has not come .to pass. Not only that, ,l!ve (government Was worked out a scheme worse than ever called the re form. As I said before hardly anybody in Germany, except the people, whose business it is, can make head or tail of It, and I shall not trouble you with the details. Meanwhile the law-makers are leaving for their vacation, and there the matter rests. ' ; .The three classes df .Prussia! of Germany! They will exist, for, a very. very long time to tome. Not only poll-j ticaiiy They exist socially, and this very fact alone makes a one-class poli tical movement an injustice. Socially, no German could imagine hlis classes merged Into one. More than that, no one would care to have it so. For I'm about to say something seemingly paradoxical the very fact of its existence tears down class bar riers and tend towards a friendly In tercourse between all. Human nature is alike everywhere, the certain classes will always care to mix with certain classes only. In a country, where plainly dellnlated class es exist, where to the contrary all claim to be of one class and equal, certain elecents will, by force erect some sort of a barrier for them selves. In order to keep the other fellow at a proper distance, the better placed man will be somewhat haughty to the inferior. In Germany, such a thing is unknown because unnecessary. Everybody know ing his place, there Is not only no reason why one should fear to mix with the other but on the contrary the better placed can afford to be condescending to the lower placed, which is not exact ly the ideal, but at least the verv best we have got so far. And that is the reason, why even the most liberal peo ple in Germany hope that the "three system" will remain for a very long time to come. The last scene of that terrible mili tary drama of Allenstein. The curtain has been down a long lime, fully a couple, of years, but the story is still fresh in every German mind; fresh, too, no doubt, in the minds of a good many people outside Germany. To make the final scene now being enacted better understood. It will, perhaps, be good to review Its predecessors. On the day after Xmas 1907 the Major von Schoenebeek was found murdered In the bedroom of his quarters at Allenstein In northern Prussia. Major von Schoenebeck was a man not only respected by the citi zens of the town, but beloved by his garrison. He has no known enemies and there seemed no clue as to his murder, hree days later he was hurried and be hind ills coffin in walked his comrades, One of the first amongst them was Hauptmann von.Ooe.lien, the best friend of the deceased. Aftef the burial-service this man was arrested, almost at the side of the grave, for the murder of the Major. he World, especially Germany, stood aghast. Such a horrible deed-was not known in the annals of German mili tary history. A colonel has assassin- i a ted his superior, his Malor. When j on Goeben denied the deed some people believed hlmi For Goeben was not the man to kill a friend In such a dastardly way. If so, people said, he had had any thing against Schoenebeck, he would have killed him in open duel, for he was known to be a dead shot. Besides, were not the two men the best of friends? And then Goeben was noted lor his bravery. He had been in many wars, had . lought -against the English with the Boers for the pure love of fighting, had a general reputation for dare devil courage. Surely such a man could not have committed such a cow artlly deed. And yet he had done It. It was the same old, always new story: cherchez la femmel! He was the lover of bis superior's wife, and he had promised her to kill her husband In order to set her free to marry him. his promise was especially dramatic. As Goeben confessed to the well-known Prof. Sehrench-Notsslng, who has spent sev eral days In the prisoner's for reason of observation. Mrs. Schoenebeck had made him swear, while standing under the Crhlstinas-tree, and while the hus band had gone into the adjoining room to fetch some wine, to commit that murder that same night. He swore and kept his oatli. He pleaded not guilty afterwards, because he still be lieved in the woman. But when It was proved to him, that she had a number of other lovers beside him, when he saw. that he had been played with, he confessed and committed sui cide.. "' The woman was taken to an Insane asylum, Incurable. Several of .her peo ple had died In such an institution. She was, no doubt, Insane by heredity. But Goeben, too, was by no means normal, A man of almost 40, he had never loved a woman before. When he fell into the clutches of this one. he became her absolute slave. Then the almost Impossible happened, Mrs. Schoenebeck had to be set free as cured. Being still a brunette beauty she married again, and now- she has to stand trial for assisting at the murder of her first husband. Everybody In discussing the ease, ask why? ''The case was almost dead, al most forgotten. Why did it have to be dug up again with all its horrible details. To bring a criminal to justice? Everybody Is convinced that the wo man was not in her right mind. In not so today! "At any rate, it's finished now!" SCHOOL' FOR SALESPEOPLE. Berlin, June 25 Deportment and diplomacy, are now being taught to salesmen and saleswomen in the Ber lin stores. The association of shop keepers has founded a school where employees may learn just how to be have in dealing with customers. The talk nicely and agreeably, how' to talk nicely and agreeably, .how to bow gracefully, how to treat Ill-tempered customers, bow to conduct an animated conversation without undue familiarity, and so forth. The expenses of the school are borne by the shopkeepers, who are .convinced that courtesy on the part ot their employees la one of the great t isseU in tits retell business. 3 The Consecration and Solemn Dedication of Cathedral . .'....'- .f One of the Mont Important Functions of the Kind That Hit Taken Place .lews to Erect Monument to King Edward Lauging in Correct Style. Ity PHILLIP EVERETT.) London, June 25 The consecra tion and solemn dedication of the West minster Roman Catholic Cathed ral is to be one of the most important functions of the kind that has taken place in this country. The long and elaborate rite will be almost Identical with the Pontificial of Egbert, Arch bishop of York (d.767). On June 27 the day preceding the consecration Archbishop Bourne, fasting, will sol emnly "set apart" . the relics of the saints to be used in the ceremony. At 80'clock on the morning follow ing the consecration services com mence. Twelve crosses are marked on the walls of the church, with light ed candles before them. The Arch bishop knocks three times with his pastoral staff at the main entrance, saying in Latin: "Lift up your gates, ye princes, and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doers, and the King of Glory shall come In.' "Who is the King of Glory? " asks a deacon standing In the porch, and the archbishop answers: "The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord Mighty in Battle." Then the door is opened and the bishop enters with his as sistants. On the ash-strewn have he de scribes a cross composed of the Latin and Greek alphabet a curious ceremony symbolical of the Latin and Greek churches and the instruction in matters of faith Imparted to the Catechumens. There follows the consecration ot the High Altar and Side altars, the" bishop walking three times round the1 interior while the walls are aspersed and blessed. ' ' v The relics are then borne In, placed in recesses. In the altar stones; anointed with holy oil and sealed up. A solemn mass of thanksgiving of the Cathedral, and for the restora tion of the Helrarchy (29 Sept., 1S50), will be celebrated on the morning of 29 of June, in the after noon the Bishop of Birmingham will be celebrant at the Second Vespers of St. Peter and St. Paul. King George has formally approv ed of the Royal Naval and Military Tournament which opens at Olympia on Monday and is to lust till Wednes day, July 6. The chief feature of the program will be "Britannia's Muster," which will be one of the most striking spec tacles ever witnessed at these tour naments. Between four and five hundred men will take part In the series of tableaux, which will Illus trate the military characteristic of the various parts of the Empire. The troops representing the four great Dominions-Canada, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand will be played into the arena by the pipers of the Scotch GuardB and the drum and fife band of the Grenadier Guards, while the march of the Ital ian troops will be accompanied by In dian music. One of the characteristics of the Loudon East End Jew is gratitude. Rightly or wrongly, the Jews of East London, as a body, have adopted the" idea that King Edward was especial ly sympathetically disposed towards them and their kindred beyond tb seas, and as a token of their grati tude for this sympathy the erection of a memorial to him is being mooted. . The English of today, of all races, are far more practical than were their ancestors of half a century ago. At that time such a memorial could have' taken but one form, that of a Btatue', Now, however, the suggestion' is thai: the proposed memorial should be of '4 utilitarian nature, and an endeavour is being made to connect it with th Jewish hospital movement, by this means it is hoped to make the latter fashionable and consequently a suc cess. It is thought that a King Ed ward Memorial Hospital w6uld at tract support where a London Jewish' Hospital would fail.
