An old man had Just died in Vienna
whose name deserves to be chronicled in
all lands for the singular goodness of his
life. Ferdinand Reidt has been known in
his own city as 1.-THE Father OF the or
phans" for nearly half century: He was
a man of considerable means, and was hap
PLY married, but it was great grief to
him and his wife that they continued TO be
childless. Herr Reidt said to his
wife "Since We are not to have
children Of our own, can we not be
parents to some of those who are
iatherless and motherless?" He was man
of action, and began at once to carry his
conception into practice He commenced
with taking fatherly charge of two or three
orphans, but his zeal and repute increased
to such an extent that at the time of his
death he was the legal guardian of more
than a thousand fatherless children. Those
whom he adopted in this manner were not
titfully taken up and then let drop, but he
kept conscientious watch and ward over
them from their early education until their
marriage or their start in adult life at the
close of their apprenticeship. lie never
sought fame or publicity, and took no
credit to himself for his deyolion to those
who had nc natural claim upon him. Now
that he is departed. however, every one
speaks OF MS singular HE, ltS quiet
ness, and yet restless energy, its con-
scientiousness and severe fidelity to his self
imposed obligations. He began by asking
as a favor to be accepted as the honorary
guardian" of two or three orphans, and the
calling which he had thus taken up Tor his
own satisfaction, as he put it, was in time
regarded by many of his telew-citzens AS u
sort of official occupation which he was
bound to fulfil Herr Reidt had special
tenderness towards ilegitimate children
who, from no fault of their own, started
life under a heavy shadow. His courage
was equal to his tenderness. When he
could discover the father of an illegtiMate
child, he would seek the man ont and deal
plainly with him as to the duty which he
had incurred by his sin. In this way he
had compelled fathers to look after their
own children, who would otherwise have
fallen under the hard discipline Of the Off
cal guardians of such unwelcome additions
to the population London Globe.

rapid and he was in a few years thereafter

death his party has lost one of its most

1t is now about four years since the AN
nounccment of Mr.. Edison's invention o
his electric lamp caused tumble in the
price Of gas stocks, and il is remarkable
fact that, rapid rs has been the progress OF
the electric light, the great gas companies
of England are earning larger profits than
at any previous period in their history.
The amount OF stock of the five great gas
companies Of London is Sl3ill ,195, aC-
cording To the Economist, of that
city. The average price of the stock
Is now l7i, while four years ago
it was PIG, but dividends have increased so
that the stock can now he purchased to
earn 63-S per cent. ON the investment,
whereas the yield was but as per cent.
four years ago, There is almost no other
large freehold" property which returns u
profit exceeding e per cent, says the Econ
omst. AS in New York, the electric light
is being rapidly introduced in the streets OF
London but the gas companies thrive, and
no fear that their prosperity will cease
is entertained. The chcspneSs OF gas in
England is astonishing to Americans. The
prices is now 60 to 80 cents per LOO feet,
and II is thought that II may be re.
duced to fifty cents, Formerly the law
prohibited dividends exceeding 10 per cent.
ON stock at par, but q provision was made
that an increase of | per cent. might be
made in dividends for every reduction OF
two cents in the price OF gas, As the COM
panies were earning u vast surplus which
could not be used the reduction of the
price of gas became advantageous to them,
rs well as to their patrons. IL is believed
that the general introduction of the electric
light in private houses will not destroy the
business of gas companies, as new uses for
gas are rapidly being developed.-TEx'

A NEW and important view is being taken

HIGHER EDUCATION OF WOMEN.


A well-attendcd meeting Of the associa.
ton for promoting the higher education oil
women in New York, was held yesterday
afternoon in the hall of the Union League
club, at the corner of Fifth avenue and
Thirty.ninth street. Mr.. Goodwin, who
presided. made brief speech, saying that
the object of this meeting was to promote
the higher and more thorough education OF
women. 1--WE simply desire" he said,
that the sexes be put on level. Knowl-
edge is pleasant therefore, ii is in the inter
est of women that we ask for their higher
education. We do not desire to force them.
but when they have the capacity and wish
let them be able to crafty them. Our
women are the handsomest in the world
and they should be the best cultivated.
They ought to be handsome all through.
This movement has encountered consdera-
Bile opposition but never yet met the man
who could tell me the proper amount of ig-
noranCe required to make perfect woman.
every one admits that woman ought to
have some sort of education; but where
should it begin and where end? oh" ex-
claim some persons, she has not the ca
pacity for higher studies Yet history is
illumined with contradictions of this state
ment. Aspasia, Colonna, DeStael, Evans
all bear witness to woman's capacity.
Others claim that education removes wo-
man from her proper sphere but so far as
my observation goes these gentlemen con-
fine her sphere to mendng stockings and
rocking cradle. Was Mrs Garfield less Il
woman because she taught her sons Latin
and Greek and could follow her husband to
every stage of his intellectual progress?
This movement is no longer new. 1t is
scarcely a matter of experiment We

A TERRIBLE CRIME.
A Mother Tries TO Kill Her Children and
Take Her Own Life.

BosToN, May 9.-Marie Konig, German
woman, this morning murdered her boy,
August, five years old, cutting his throat
with a case knife She then cut the throat
of her daughter Mary, aged thirteen, but the
wound is not fatal; and Alfred. another son,
has cuts in dozen places, also not fatal
Emil, boy seventeen years old, is also
wounded. The woman attempted to kill
herself She is doubtless insane. Mrs.
Konig was recently deserted by her hus-
band. Her troubles worked upon her mind
70 such an extent her reason fnahy gave
way, and but one thought seemed 20 control
her-ihat by killing her children
and herself all troubles would be
ended. The children consisted of Emil,
seventeen years; Mary, thirteen;
Alfred, ten. and August five. Mrs KONG,
who is forty-six, occupied rooms on the
third floor of the WaTrenton Block. She
armed herself with atable-knife and pocket
knife and entered the room where the chill
dren were sleeping this morning. She first
attacked August, whose throat she cut from
ear to ear. 1t is not supposed he made any
sound else the other children would have
been awakened. The woman next assaulted
Mary, whose throat she cut in three places,
but probably not fatally. The girl ran
screaming out of the apartments into the
rooms opposite occupied by other persons.
The screams of the girl were supplemented
by the shIieks of Mrs. KONG and the
widest excitement prevailed, though none
of the neighbors dared to interrupt.
Meantime Mrs. Konig stabbed
Alfred in dozen places in the left arm, and
then assaulted Emil, who resisted quite sue
cessfuliy, although he received a wound in
his left arm at the elbow. The children had
run from the room for help, and Mrs. KONG
was alone until the arrival of officers, who
found her sitting on the floor in a pool OF
blood, having cut several gashes in her left
leg, aud made attempts to open the arteries
of both wrists. She appeared very composed,
aud expressed herself quite satisfied with
the slaughter she thought she had completed.
The officers took her 10 the Station, where her
wounds we're dressed, and she was after ward
placed in padded cell. The wounds of the
children were attended to and no serious re-
suits are apprehended. This afternoon Mrs.
KONG was arraigned on the charge OF mur-
der. Sbe was unable to stand alone, and q
more haggard or wretched person never was
seen in the dock. The officers were unable
to make her understand the crime she was
accused Of.
1t was decided to have her waive examina
tion, and she was finally committed 10 Jail tc
