Bilton, a music-ball singer, has brought an action for divorce against her. Belle Bilton was one of the Bilton sisters who chirped at the London Supper Club.

Belle pawned her jewelry to assist her lover in his defense, but she soon forgot him and then. took up with Viscount Denis, a minor, whe under threats of breach of promise married her before a registrar.

A friend of the Viscount's family, learning si the event, met the bridal party as they were leaving and induced the young fording to leave his wife at the door. He was then shipped off to Australia, where he remained until researches had been made into Belle's history, she mean while appearing every night at the Empire Concert Hall. The grounds for the divorce are shat Belle has a husband living, and that she has been unfaithful since her marriage. The principal ground, however, is that Dünly was not of age when the ceremony was entered into

A boy named Holmes, employed in n paper mill at Heywood, was drawn between the press and roller, his body finally passing through on opening measuring only four inches.

ST. PETERSBURG, March 14th. Reports, come from a distant village in Southern Russia of the performances of Count Zouroball, a nobleman who poses as an amateur scientist. He was recently arrested on charges of cruelty to children, but escaped through a technicality. He bought four infant children from poor parents and confined them in separate rooms. They were taught absolutely nothing, and were waited upon by a deaf and dumb attendant.. They were plentifully supplied with good food, and the rooms were large and well warmed and clothing, and were caged like beasts, and as such ventilated, but the infants were allowed no grew up. In explanation of his conduct the

Count claimed that he was endeavoring to dis-

cover that lostinct were natural to the human animal. He will now educate them, and will provide for them during the remainder of their lives. Men of science are interested in the problem whether the Count will be able to reclaim them from their savagery.

the Emperor's recent visit to that city. In the too old days it was not allowable that anyone should occupy a higher position than the Emperor or Shogun when in the latter's presence, and this rule was still adhered to the other day in Kyoto, when the shutters of all upper stories were closed tight during the Royal passage through the streets, no one being allowed to occupy any position higher than the ground. At one portion of the route a party of foreigners were observed looking through a chink or opening in the shutters, and they were at once requested by the police to come down.

ROME, March 18th, I have the authority of the Vatican to announce" that the Pope would consent to act as mediator in the simultaneous disarmament of European nations. The question was put directly, by the Herald correspondent to-night, and the answer` was equally direct,

Leo XIII has taken a bold stand. 'He holds that the existence of immense armies, which are draining the wealth of Europe and inflicting great suffering upon the masses, is anti-Chris- tian. The German Emperor wrote an autograph. letter inviting the Pope to send an Embassador. to the Berlin labor conference,

In reply the Pope seat an autograph letter, saying he could not consent unless his represent ative was given precedenceover all the deleghtea.. Then the Emperor wrote another letter urging the Pope in the interest of mankind to take part in the conference so far as he could, and at least tive it his moral support. To this the Pontiff has warmly responded.

I am authorized to announce that the Pope. has written document dealing with the entire problem 'raised at Berlin. This has been diplomatically communicated to a papal nuncio 11 Germany and will be laid before the inter- national conference. There is no doubt that a leading part in the effort to deal with the great movement is on, foot to give the Pops a universal labor troubles.

His Holiness recognizes this as a great. opportunity for the church to put itself at the bead of the world: wide reform demanded by organized labor. He holds that the nations must adopt the principles of Christianity, and that the church is the only power competent to deal with

the tremendous issues involved in this social and industrial movement.

The German Emperor has frankly admitted

that governments cannot accomplish much unless organized Christianity comes to their aid in this crisis. The Pope has spoken in no uncertain voice, as will be seen when his address is made public. It is admitted that if the millions of armed men who trample upon the bread trays of the poor were stripped of their uniforms and set to work creating wealth a great deal of the pre- sent distress in Europe would disappear. Onc nation dares not begin to disarm before another, and the Pope is now in a position to negotiate between the nations for a general disarmament, Up to the present time the Vatican has managed to keep secret its negotiations with the German Embassador.
