Another Neutral Steamer Sent To the
Bottom In the North Sea—
Crew Rescued.
LONDON, May 25.—German sub
marines yesterday sent another Nor
wegian ship to the bottom of the
North sea. The boat was destroyed
without warning. A British steamer
which was near the scene went to
the rescue and picked up the crew
of the Norwegian boat.
The commander of the submarine
also, unsuccessfully, attempted to
send the rescue ship to the bottom
hut was unable to do so because of
thp quick work of the British com
mander, who twice attempted to ram
the underwater fighter, finally forc
ing it to remain under water fora
considerable time, during which the
crew of the merchant ship were pick
ed up.
The call for aid brought several fast
British patrol ships to the scene and
the German boat disappeared.
American Who Lost Life On Lusitania
Is Buried—Crowds Attend
the Services.
NEW YORK, May 25.—The funeral
services over the remains of Charles
Frohman, the American theatrical
manager who lost his life when the
Lusitania went down, was held to
day from the residence of his brother,
Daniel Frohman, at 145 West 79th
Street. Public services were also held
at the Temple Emmanuel-El.
The streets were lined with cur
ious people while police reserves
were stationed to keep order. All of
the Frohman theatres in the United
States and Europe were closed today
and will remain closed this evening.
The body of Frohman was brought
here on the American steamer New
York, which reached the pier yester
day. Eight other bodies arrived on
the same boat. The body of Alfred
Vanderbilt was not found.

BECKED VERDICT
i :
New York Policeman Must Pay Pen

NEW YORK, May 25—The court
of appeals, the highest court of this
state, today rendered its decision in
the case of Lieut. Becker, the police
lieutenant, who was convicted of the
murder of Gambler Herman Rosen
thal. The decision upholds the ver
dict of the lower court and Becker
must die unless his sentence is com
muted or he is pardoned by Governor
Whitman.
Few expect Governor Whitman to
commute the sentence of Becker, as
it was Whitman who, while district
attorney of New York, secured his ar
rest and conviction in the two trials
and who is familiar with all the evi
dence In 'the case. <1
Becker will be re-Bentenced in a

some time in July. Rosenthal was

V1- r
WOMEN IN THE MIDDLE AGES.
They Held Office and Could More Than
Hold Their Own In Trade.
Women in England have always
shared in the industrial life of the na
tion. Curiously enough, writes Mr. A.
Abram in “English Life and Manners
In the Later Middle Ages,” a statute
of 1303 that ordered men to keep to
one trade left women free to practice
as many as she chose.
In a few instances, at least, women
in the later middle ages discharged du
ties and held offices that do not fall to
their lot nowadays. There are allu
sions to women burgesses in the rec
ords of London and other towns, and
if women married aliens they could
naturalize them.
Women did not shrink from engag
ing in foreign commerce. They ex
ported goods to France, Spain and oth
er countries. A widow. Margery Rus
sell of Coventry, is mentioned in no
less than three different existing docu
ments. Her business must have been
on a fairly large scale, for she was
robbed of merchandise worth £800 by
some men of Santander, in Spain. In
order to recoup herself for her losses
she obtained letters of marque that
empowered her to seize the goods be
longing to countrymen of the offend
ers.
Margery apparently took more than
was due her. for two Spanish roer
chants lodged complaints against her.
She was ordered to restore bo^h ships,
but one of the Spaniards declared that
she had refused to do so, although he
had a commission directed to the ex
chequer. If Dame Margery Russell
was a type, women traders of the mid
dle ages were well able to look after
themselves.
ORIGIN OF PERFUMES.
Used at First to Kill the Odors of
Burning Flesh.
In the good old times the use ot per
fumes was originated to counteract
the offensive odors arising from burn
lng flesh which was being offered as a
sacrifice. For this reason incense was
always burned in the temples, and
from that burning comes the literal
significance of the word incense, which
means "through the smoke.”
Arabia has always been the land of
perfume, the “scents of Araby” being
classic. Lady Macbeth refers to “all
the perfumes of Arabia” in her sleep
walking agony when she fancies she
cannot wash the smell of Duncan’s
blood from her hand.
While Arabia has most of the fame,
it is undoubtedly a fact that to Egypt
belongs most of the credit, for the art
of perfuming was practiced there to
its fullest extent Even the embalmed
dead were saturated with spices and
scents which have retained their de
lightful aroma after thousands of
years, it was from old Egypt that the
Greeks and Homans learned the use
of the still for extracting perfumes
from plants and flowers. To this Ho
man love for perfumes no doubt as
much as to her own habits was due
the fact that Cleopatra's barge was so
overwhelmingly scented. Shakespeare
describes it with:
Purple the sails and so perfumed that
The winds were lovesick w'ith them.
—Philadelphia Heeord.
Consolation.
A victim to hysterical grief over the
death of her husband after forty years
of an exceptionally happy wedded life
grandma sat in her rocking chair
moaning and weeping.
Little Robert (escaping from the
usual watchful care of his nurse,
“Aunt Mandy Sanderson,” negress of
300 pounds or more, black as anything
human could be, and a complete an
tithesis to the refined, gracious and
delicate grandma of sixty, whose grief
her grandson would try to assuage)—
“Please don’t cry so, grandma,” he
pleaded, as he passed his little hand
over her gray locks and with bound
less sympathy in his tones. “I’m sure
you can get another husband very
soon. Why, even Aunt Mandy Sander
son had seven of them!”—New York
Sun.
Took It Like a Philosopher.
One day Mrs. Jones rushed into the
library to her husband with hasty
steps and a wild look of excitement
“Oh, John, oh, John!” she exclaimed,
with a lot of emotional thrills. “Norah
made a mistake and tried to light the
kitchen fire with gasoline!”
"Gasoline, eh?" calmly responded
John. “Did she get it started?”
“Did she get it started?” cried the
amazed Mrs. Jones. "It blew her out
the kitchen window!”
“That’s all right, my dear,” returned
the philosophical Jones. "It was her
afternoon out. anyway.”—Philadelphia
Telegraph._■
Not Very Funny.
“1 did my best to be entertaining,”
said the young man In a voice of sor
row.
“Did you succeed?"
"I’m afraid not I recited Hamlet’s
soliloquy. She looked at me reproach
fully for several seconds and then ex
claimed. ‘I don’t think that’s very fun
ny!”’—London Telegraph.
It Would Be Proper.
“Would you,” her fhqulsitive friend
asked, “speak to a man without an in
troduction?"
“Well, 1 might If, for instance, 1
were to squirt my grapefruit Juice in
his eyes I should certainly ask his par
don.’’—Chicago Record-Herald.
