DUBLIN, April 26.~The domestic affair*
of tho BaroneBH von Gonsauge have been
the theme of a painful lunacy Inquiry
which has just been conducted In Dublin.
The baroness Is of Irish birth, tho
(laughter of a Presbyterian minister, and
formerly lived near Ballymena. She I*
67 years of age and married in the year
1882 Baron von Sternberg, a Hussian. In
1893 she went insane, but In 1'jOO was
cured and wont abroad, and actually
married again the Baron von Gonsauge,
who is now dead.
The new trouble about her, which has
been much discussed by her friends in
Dublin, arose in 1911, when she wan on
a visit to London. Sometime about the
middle of April she sent a frantic tele-
gram to Mr. Caruth, who was her family
lawyer, begging lilin to come over to see
her. He spent a whole day with her arid,
so far an ho could see, for no earthly
reason at all. She had a very peculiar
form of mental trouble. She had a Mnd
of haughty disposition and thought ev-
erybody waa beneath her and not tit to
associate with her.
She then went to Monaco, and it ap-
peared that .shortly after her arrival
there she became violent and unable to
lake care of herself. The police had to
take charge if her and at present ehe in
in an establishment for the Insane at
Nice. All her property is In Ireland and
consjpts of personal estate uikI.t the
marflago settlement, find also property,
such as Japanese bonds, as well as some
1 real estate iri the'County Louth, which
belonged to her and her son. Her total
Income Is $J,47B a year.
The medical attendants in the asylum
, at Nice, where the baroness Is now con-
l fined, stated she had, when admitted,
the following symptoms: Intense agita-
; tion, without, however, any tendency to
^ violence; hvr clothes were torn; she wau
covered with vermin, was dirty and re-
pulsed any attempt to clean her- she re-
fused to ko to bed. Blnco the dale.of her
i admission the doctor had observed
j "pride madness." They believed her
V state would not undergo any noticeable
i amelioration and that she would not be
: In a condition for a long time to lead
a healthy, normal life or administer her
t affairs.
i As a ooneequonce the court granted the
i request of the baron, her son (her daugh-
• ter, unfortunately, is insane and in an
j asylum), and declared that she was in-
* capable of managing herself or her af-
. fairs.
KING IN NISW PLA Y.
Considerable Interest has been aroused
:in Ireland by tho announcement that a
» now political play will shortly bo pro-
duced In Dublin showing "how the Irish
question was solved." The author, who
was young and quite unknown, is now
dead, but he mode his hero no other than
King George, and shows his majesty in
dramatic form seeking to solve the prob-
lems of political life by Judicious per-
sonal intervention, [n the seventh act
the Irish question Is settled in the fol-
lowing naive style:
Act 7—Scene, a private apartment In
Buckingham Palace. The King is seated
at a largo table covered with papers,
which he Ih examining with an eager,
exalted look. His secretary, Sir Thomas
Itelliiouse, enters.
The King—Have all preparations been
made, Betlhouse?
Bellhouse—Yea, sir. The members of
the conference await wour command to
enter.
King—Good, Today I shall perform the
greatest work of my life. This Irish
question shall make me as immortal as
Caesar, and tt is well so, for the salt of
a king s memory nowadays is too often
hut a record of negative virtues or some
dubious scandal. Bid them enter, Bell-
house.
(Enter the Prime Minister, the Foreign
Secretary, the leader of the Irish Na-
tionalist party and the Ulster party
leader.)
Tho King—'Welcome, gentlemen. Please
Tx' seated. The work before us is to
consider an amicable settlement of the
Irish question. 1 desire the welfare of
that unhappy country, and t have sum-
moned you. the leaders of Irish opinion,
to debate here In my presence so that a
satisfactory compromise may be arrived
at. 1 call upon the leader of the Na-
tionalist party.
(The two leaders give .addresses,)
The King—Gentlemen, I cannot congrat-
ulate yqu. I had hoped for peace. My
private information Is that there are
neither the extreme demands nor dis-
cords that you represent But I cannot
hope to move you. Tou claim to repre-
sent the people of Ireland; today I give
you back to the people of Ireland. (To
the .Foreign Secretary)—Westiiigham,
have a safe conduct pass for these gen-
tlemen through English territory, and
now road out the latest tidings from The
Hague.
\\ ostingham—'The World's Peace Con-
ference. in which every state throughout
the globe is represented, has unanimous-
ly agreed today to the principle of uni-
versal arbitration and disarmament of
all the great powers Is to begin Immedi-
ately.
The King—Tt is hardly necessary to
explain that for many, years past the solo
necessity of our possession of Ireland
was for the strategic reasons. That, ne-
cessity has passed foreVer. .Tomorrow
tho act of union will bo dissolved, uood
afternoon, gentlemen.
Ulster leader, in a low voice: "We are
betrayed!"
FUNDS ARB NREDED.
The Nationalist leaders are now quite
clear that if the cause of home rule is
1 to be carried to a triumphant end thir-
teen months hence, a prodigious effort
will have to be made to put the Issue
beyond all chances of defeat. For this
reason an active and energetic agitation
will be necessary in order to combat and
repel the charges which have been and
are certain to bo made against Irishmen
and their fitness for self-government by
Unionist organizations throughout the
length and breadth of Great Britain.
Unfortunately, propagandist work < an-
not be undertaken without money and,
therefore, an urgent appeal is being
made for "tho means to carry the Na-
tional struggle to a final and triumphant
victory." Of course, In the ordinary
sense no contributions for the support of
tho members of tin* Irish party In the
lCnjfligh House of Commons, are neces-
sary, since they are now paid by the
British exchequer. If attendance lit Par-
liament was all that was required there
need h« no appeal for funds. Hut it Is
clear that a lot of extra parliamentary
labor will have to be undertaken during
the coming year.

luis Joined the ranks of those who sup-
port tin* principle of State niiiu'iiaoulal
agencies together with the appointment
of a minister of maU'lmouey, us recent-
ly suggested by Hubert Bland.
In a letter to the Wiener News
•tiuy, Ml'. Hli/j w writes:
"Hubert Bland's tiutfuuHtluii of ptilt-

New Kind of Politician
Comes to the Front
lie Is Young. Strenuous and Hard
Working, antr Ho Finds Out Things
For Himself.
Special Cable Service to The Express.
LONDON, April 20.- The Unionist party
In England Just now are casting their eyes
ri.tber anxiously over the young men lu
their ranks. It cannot be denied that tbe
v bole future of tbe Unionist cause rests in
their liunds.
In spite of all current goailp Mr. Bal-
four cannot, In the natural order of tilings,
be expected to do much fur his party lu
the future, lie Is (16 years of age and very
tiled. Lord Lanadowue Is lis, aud not
really popular with the party rank uud
t ie. Even Bouar Law Is Bo, ami impatient
of all the cabals on the protection ques-
tion he is unable to suppress. Who will
be the new leader?
A careful and recent examination of the
"young bloods" now in opposition show*
that qullo a new type of politician hus
emerged from the Unionist ranks lu tbe
House of Commons. For tbe most part
these inea concern themselves with ques-
tions of social reform, but, Hue the coming
race of politicians ill the United States,
they are lar ahead of the thought of their
present political leaders. Aa a Unionist
critic receutly pointed out:
"The speeches which some of them de-
liter are far In advance of the known
views of luuuy prosperous middle-aged
plutocrats sitting uenlml the .treasury
bench, hungry fur baronetcies and peer-
aged. On matters affecting imperial de-
fense, the equipment of the urmy, the
strengthening of the uavy, the young
bloods show a more comprehensive knowl-
edge than do their opponents. Many of
tin in have beeu lu the army aud navy.
They have had tbe advantage of more ex-
tensive travel than tbolr aulagontstN, and
this is revealed whenever there is a de-
bate affecting Dominions or deallug with
foreign affairs."
In fact, some of the most formidable ad-
veisartcs that the present British govern-
ment have to face are the young meu who
decline to devote their holidays to golf,
or lounging on tbe Riviera, or pursuing
dear on tho hills of Scotland. These M. l'.s
lake politics quite strenuously and tnuko
n point of going abroad whenever they get
tt ehance to some part of the Continent,
which Is cuuslug trouble, and of finding
out things for themselves.
Two excellent specimens of this new
brund of politicians are George Lloyd aud
Captain Ualrd. Thus my friend. John
Foster Fraser, the well-known Parliament-
ary reporter, reminds me: "Ouly recently
t a pi a in Bitlrd has been to the Balkans,
aud tbe other day, when Sir lidward Grey
was preaching peuce lietween Turkey and
the allies, Captain Balrd was leaning over
the back of a bench and, with the as-
sistance of a may, was explaining to Mr.
Bccor Law the exact situation. Bather
a dandy In attire aud affecting SA «7S-
gbusH, Captain Balrd is tbe type of man
whom tlie ordluary radical would be In-
clined to sneer at as a Tory young blood.
As a matter of fact he has led an ex-
ceedingly busy life. As a young man he
entered the diplomatic service, was sta-
tioned at Vienna, and put In several years
of good work in Egypt. Then he went to
Abyssinia as consul general, subsequently
became political officer in Snmiililauu,
moved to 1'arls as one of tbe secretaries at
the British embassy, came hoiue and
plunged into politics, and now devotes bis
spare time to gathering first-hand kuowl
edge lu International affairs." When It
come* to a hand-to-haud fight with young
lawyers hungry for office Captain Balrd
will have I he old-fashioned fa ml lie* of
Ungliuid who adore the army and have an
Instinctive fear of tlie uteru talkers, solid
behind him.
Equally entitled to respect Is George
I loyd, who must uu no account be con
fused with the Chancellor of the Ex
chequer. From college. Frnser points out,
he went to America and Australia. Being
attracted by Eastern politics, he visited
India three times, lie has been to Mo
ro> co, Egypt uud lltinnab, and when at-
tache at the British embassy at Con-
slautiuopie lie went to Macedonia and
Syria. A few years back tho government
tm.de him a special commissioner to In
qulro Into the prospects of British trade
In .Mesopotamia anil Eastern Asiatic
Turkey. Whenever Parliament, Is up ho
files to s strange corner of the earth,
with the consequence that on foreign de-
butes he csn tell things to Sir Edward
Grey, who has not trsvelofl extensively.
In faot, lie Is un excellent specimen of
the new type of politician that tbe Union-
1st party Is training, and, when It comes
to h fine point whether tho Unionist parly
shall be split from the top to the bottom,
such men will not lack either courage,
principles or a program. On both aides
of th« House there are fools, but my ob
scrvatlon leads mo to agree with Foster
i laser, that there are tedsy many more
serviceable young men in the Unionist
ranks than ob the bsuelMs^Utalf^*

Watch Won at Cards
Sp«cl«l Cable Battle* to Tb« KipOHt.
COPENHAGEN, April 116 An eitrt-
ordinary example of the deeds per-
formed by sieepwalkeri came to llgat
recently In the court at Hlnkjobluif, in
tbe Danish province of that name, No-
body gttfMftd when a poorly drn9*e<l
man was put In the dock on u charge
of having attempted to pawn a goM
watch, without being able to offer aoy
decisive proof of ownership, that any-
thing aensutional could follow such a
commopnlace case. Yet it did—and it
involved even the Judge who heard the
charge. Tbe prisoner, however, liad
told a curious story to tbe police on
his arrest. His tale was that the pre-
vious night he saw a rnuu iu pajatuns
standlug at a garden gate and that
this mun pre.ssed the gold watch into
bis hands and at once went in and
shut the gate. Tho police attached no
credence to the tale.
The watch was handed up to the
Judge, who examined it intently. "Can
you describe tho stranger who gave you
the watch?" he naked the prisoner.
"It wa§ dark, your honor," unswered
the man. "Hut as nearly aa possible
he was a man like yourself." When he
received this answer the judge became
thoughtful, and then to everybody's
purprise handed the watch back to the
man and dismissed tbe case.
Hcentlng a mystery of an uncommon
type a newspaper reporter obtained an
Interview with M. Hulllngren, the
Judge, who thereon explained that be
had beeu subject, to sloop-wnlkiug for
many years. With regard to the watch,
be told the reporter that he had recog
nized it as bin own. ill# conscience, he
confessed, had been troubled for many
years over the method by which he
came into possession of tbe watch. It
was while playing a game of chance la
his student days that ho won it, one
of his companions having staked It on
a turn of the cards.
He was convinced that his scruples,
working subconsciously, had proved
atronii; enough to make him get up in
tils Bleep, take the watch from beneath
his pillow and glvo it to the first hu-
man being he encountered. He thereon
determined to follow the decision of his
conscience thus strangely revealed.

PAltIS, April 28.—Baron Henri ds
Rothschild of tho famous financial
family litis written a play whliUi he has
culled by tho significant name of "Croe-
sus." It Is now being produced in Lon-
don, aud though it will uot be given in
Paris or New York nnttl neit full It Is the
theme of every tougue. The American
English and Herman right I of the play
have been secured by Halter Hanson of
Seattle and Purls.
Baron Kotbschllil, who Is brawny as
well as brainy, received your correspond-
eut In the study of his famous i'arls
l ouse, 38 Hue Faubourg Ht. Honore. Baron
Bothschild, who l< at once a millionaire,
physician and philanthropist, and of whom
a photograph accompanies tfit* article, ex-
plained his play courteously and complete-
ly as follows:
"First, let me clear away some misap-
prehensions. 'I'be money question la not
the motive of my play •Croesna.' Money
conies into It. But this Is quite secondary.
It is what you uilgbt call a human lntor-
est play. It appeals to peoplo because tt
is so htuniiu.
"Secondly, let me hasten to add that the
play Is In uo sense autobiographical. You
ask me why I wrote 'Croesus.' The gen-
eral answer 1s that 1 am a writer by
choice aud by profession, tou know I am
a physician. I write medical articles as
regularly as auy member of the staff of
the newspaper In which they ar« pub-
lished. I write hygienic and philanthropic
articles. I have written fiction. In fact,
I bare toadied upon many pltaaas of liter-
ature. The specific answer to your ques-
tion is, that I felt Impelled to write this
play. I was saturated with the subject.
It was Issuing from every pore. I could
find no relief until It was done.
MKABURB 01' MONEY.
"Ton know the Demon of Boerntes. It
was that Demon, or spirit of Inspiration,
which Impelled him on. Naturally, I know
all the phases of llfo touched upon lti this
play. And if I find that money cannot
buy all happiness, or, perhapa, much of
It, I am but confirming the discoveries
of others from tbe lime of Solomon to I lie
lime when Thackeray wrot, the laat words
of the last chapter of 'Vanity h'ulr.':
•Which of ns In this life has all that he
desires, or having It Is happy.'
"Tbe hero of my piece Is a rich man
who bus had troubles or worries In life.
We all have them. I had had no particu-
lar rich man before my mlnd'a eye when
writing the play. Nevertheless, It might
fit Andrew Carnesle, or John V. Bockefel
lar. or Charles M Rchwali, or James ,1.
Hill, or Wllllsia K. Vanderbilt. or Wil-
liam A. Clarke, or Mrs. H.ittia Green.

lean women who have not yet "arrived"

lieutlB that In order to achieve fame and

a huge stuff of attendants uud servants.
They fancy this Impresses. For Instance,
I hear of a Mrs. Ryan, from Chicago, who
Is traveling on the Continent and will be
In London later with a troop which lome
Ill-natured wit bus designated "Ryau's
Menagerie."
This lady's entourage Includes a hair-
dresser of fame, a French mau, an Amer-
ican secretary, two French maids, and n
hcspital-trulncd nurse, who is an accom-
plished masseuse. It was this lady who
a few years ago made the British seaside
resort of Brighton hum when she used to
send her sweetly pretty nud eminently pre
coclous children to the shore arrayed In
satin court costumes and paste hucklea on
their shoes. The late King Edward hud

afterward expressed himself us extremely
sorry for the poor mites in their gorgeous

Nevertheless, there are today plenty of

Special Cable Service to The Enprc«i,
LONDON. April 28. -I am able to an-
nounce definitely that King George will
visit Canada In 11)14, Only some such un-
expected event as n Europeau war Involv-
ing England or a family bereavement will
prevent this trip taking place.
The King aud bis ntlvlaern are taking
somewhat unnecessary pains to keep tho
proposed visit secret. They are so afraid
that tbe Canadian* will be disappoiule*
tbat they dread the King's Intentions be-
lug announced at this distant date. A
meeting between King Georgo ami Presi-
dent Wilson at Niagara Falls is likely to
be arranged within tbe near future.
King George has Intimated bis willing-
ness to opeu the Turonto Exhibition la
August, 1614, and preparations for thl*
event are aireudy being made In English
Court circles.
It will be the first time that sny King
of Eugbuid has vlRlled Canuda. As 1'rill', e
of Wales, King Georgo, of course, twica
visited Canada, It is hopen that the'
Queen will accompany tlie King, but noth-
ing is .vet definitely settled as regard*
this. The Prince of Wales Is quite ltk"ly
to be with his father on this interesting
trip.
In Canadian circle* here a visit from
the King lias long been anticipated. When
Lord Grey was Governor General, power-
ful representations were made as to the
desire of fhe Canadian people to see In1
person the King. The appointment of t.tt»
Duke of Connaught os Governor Oeneralj
was lu no small degree due to the royal
appreciation of this sentiment, it la
understood that the Duke of Connaught
has cordially endorsed that earnest solid- 1
tttion of the Canadian government aud
people lo which tbe King has now un-
corded. so far as his plans can be ar-
ranged In advance, a welcome assent.
Lord Btratheona. the veteran High Com-
missioner of Canada, suld yesterday:
"No people of the Empire are mora
loyal or more attached to tbe King than
tbe Canadians. Ills Majesty received evi-
dence of this in 1SPU, when the Boer war
broke out. Should the King go now or
any subsequent time It would bo liupoa-
slble for hlui to receive a finer welcome
in any part of the world tban In Canada."
As the yacht rutes for the America's
Cttp take place In Hepteiuber, 1014, there Is
Jusi a chance that the King, on his re-
turn trip home, may be a spectaUt of Sir
Thomas Linton's fourth attempt to "lift
tho cup." It has been suggested that the
warship on which tbe King will make the
trip to Cauada should be diverted t"
Handy Hook lo that King George can «•«

leaved "Shamrock."
It Is not likely tbat the King would
go ashore at New York, hut If It can he

Cup,
During the Kiug's absence from England
tbe royal prerogative* will be vested In

appointed when he went to India to re-
ceive the homage of hi* subjects In tliar
Empire. For reasons of Htate It may be
decided that tbe l'rlnce of Wales should
stay In England while his father If
abroad.
This trip to Canada is only tha fore-
runner of olhers. Tlie Duke of Con-
naught, E|rl Gr'>y. and the Premiers of
tbe great overseas Iiomlnlons of tha
Brltleh Klfrplre have quite frankly toB
