ARlSrOCRATlC NURSES.
Fashionable English Danes Learning to

Fashionable English Danes Learning to
BE Practical In the Sickroom.
Two or three years ago the Prince and
Princess of Wales distributed badges
and prizes to a large number of profes-
sional nurses and afterward entertained
them royalty at Marlborough House. 1t
was expected that fashionable danes
would show their appreciation of the
royal example by taking up nursing as
recreation, but little was done until a
few months ago, when the National
Health society opened classes for the
benefit of the aristocracy, at which
something more is taught than a coquet
tish arrangement Of caps and aprons
The idea is to teach ladies the value of
good nursing and enable them to learn
something about fit food for invalids and
how to give first assistance to the in
jured, III all of which, it seems, duch-
esses, countesses and the like are Ia.
mentally deficient.
The Duchess Of Bedford is particularly
active in the work. She has placed her
fine house in Belgrave square at the dis
posal of the society's lectures on every
Wednesday during the winter season,
and, as the course includes an afternoon
tea, the attendance is expected to be
large. The proceedings should certainly
be interesting as it is announced that
each lecture will bo practically illus
trated with patient, bedding, ETC."
The pioneer among the aristocracy OF
nursing and sanitation was Lady Brooke,
who, with her husband, enjoys the par.
ticular friendship of the Prince of Wales.
Eer ladyship has for years been accus.
toned to keep q sharp eye on the water
supply and sanitary arrangements of the
villages on her estates in the counties of
Warwick and Essex, often TO the decp
disgust Of the cottagers, who claimed
tie inherent right Of Briton to please
himself in such matters, and who oh.
jected strongly to being coeroed into
cleanliness ON pain Of eviction. Puritan
ical people havc sometimes said hard
Things OF Lady Brooke. 1t is right thai
credit should be given her IN this mat.

1t Causes a Child's Death and Sends a Serv.

ant to Prison For Three Months.
A very sad tragedy came before the
Paris police courts the other day when
Marie Marterez, domestic servant, was
tried for the homicide, through careless
ness, of Blanche the infant child of Mrs.
Blanche Treville, an American actress,
known on the stage as Miss Irving.
Last summer Mrs. Treville was living
at 81 Avenue d'Antin. Her daughter,
who was only years old, was being ed.
ucated at a convent in the neighborhood
of Paris. When the holidays commenced,
the child came to live with her mother
in Paris. On Aug 26 Mrs Treville had
to go out in the afternoon. She confded
the child to the care of Marie Marterez,
who promised not to lose sight of her.
She, however, shut the child up in her
own room, locked her in and took the
key away with her. When Marie Mar
terez returned, she found her room full
of smoke. The child was lying on the
floor unconscious, with its clothes burned
to cinders. There had been a box of wax
matches in one of the drawers in the
room. The child, to amuse herself, had
begun striking matches and had set fire
to her frock. The poor childs cries were
unheard. There were on the door the
marks made by her delicate little nails
in her desperation and fear.
All that could be done to save the child
was done, but it was too late. The child
died the same night.
In her despair Mrs. Treville accused
the servant of murder, saying that Marie
Marterez detested the child and had pur-
posely shut her up alone with matches,
with which Blanche had always liked to
play. But the judicial authorities made
inquiries and learned that Marie Marte-
rez was as n rule very attentive to the
child and took good care of it. The
charge of murder was consequently
changed to that of homicide through care
lessness. Mrs. Treville herself appeared
in court to give evidence, and renewed
her accusation that the servant had
wanted to bring about the child's death.
II am sure of it," she said, weeping.
"She detested baby"
But the court took a different view of
the case and sentenced Marie Marterez
to three months mprisonment.-Pa

A willy Negro Doctor Pulled Up In .
South Carolina Court.
The famous hoodoo doctor, Peter Da-
Wis, colored, of Columbia, has had pre-
hminary hearing before Trial Justice
Brunson on the charge of fraud and OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses.
The victim was Dutchman named
Hohler, who farms several miles from
here.
The examination was very interesting
and quite amusing Mr.. Charles G.
Dantzler representing the Dutchman
snd Mr.. Henry Fl. Brunson of the firr,
Of Izlar, Lathrop & Brunson appeared
in behalf of the hoodoo. Hohler ap-
peared to be completely disgusted with
the treatment of hoodoos. In his testi-
mony he said among other things that
Peter had given him graveyard dirt" to
distribute around his farm, telling him
that he would make large crop by
using the mystic dirt freely. Hohler
used the dirt, "but," said he, ''your
honor, plant 10 acre and make only one
bale cotton
Peter at another time sold the Dutch
man some 'desd mems powder" which
was guaranteed to make Hohler's some
what poor, but not sick. mule lively.
''Your honor" said the very mad Dutch
man." after [ gif NIT him de medicine
he lie down in de road wild me and my
wife on de way home, and he neffer been
such mule as he vas pefore ven bot
him from Henry Won Ohsen." Hohler
got gourd and some powders from old
Peter on another occasion. These he
was to use for the general all round health
of his family. He was to scrape the seed
from the gourd at 10 o'clock one night,
and at IL o'clock the next night he was
to sweep his yard clean and sprinkle the
seed around the house. The gourd was
to be filed with IS drops of water of a
peculiar hoodoo kind and some other
fluid, then hung up in the house.
In summing up his testimony Hohler
said that Doctor Peter had robbed him
of his crop, made his mule lie down in
the road when he promised to make the
mule lively, and had made all his "fami-
ly sicker than dey vas pefore dey took
de medicine" Such was about the gist
of the complaints that the Dutchman
had to make against the hoodoo. Peter
was put under bond of 5000 to appear
at the next court of general sessions for
this county. y.-Orangeburg Cor. Charles
