4 Princes Escapade.

Prince Charles of Hohenzollern, who
is about TO marry Princess Josephine,
daughter of the Comte and ComtesSe de
Flandres, was the hero, dozen years
ago, of an adventure that caused no lit
tie amusement in Germany. AS a boy
of II he was at that time pursuing his
studies at Dusseldorf, when, along with
four of his companions, he took it into
his head to emulate Robinson Crusoe
and gain new experience. The little
party contrived to escape from school
and passed couple of nights in the
woods, but finding the life hardly equal
to their expectations they came back in
repentant mood. Unluckily the prince
ly ringleader thought fit to concoct TO-
mantle story of his having been seized
and carried off by a band of masked kid
napers.
The police took the matter up and
soon ascertained the truth, which the
naughty boy, to his great confusion, was
ultimately obliged to confess before his
assembled schoolmates. The prince, who
now holds commission in the Prussian
Uhlans, is said to be animated by strong
- ',''sy toward his imperial cousin.-St.

while some did not go to the quirinal at
all. Prince Reuss recently followed the
former course, and the Grand Duchess of
Mecklenburg called on the pope andsome
cardinals and ignored the royal family
altogether. The Liberal newspapers
urge that the government protest against
this sort of thing and put stop to it, at
any rate so far as the German princes
are concerned. Signor Crispiis not like

question of considerable interest to vot-
ers and the public at large has been practi-
cally determined by an Allegheny county
grand jury. Ever since the Baker ballot law
went into effect trouble has been caused, by
great number of election boards not un-
derstanding one of its provisions. In the
law it is clearly stated that during and afier
the casting of the ballots. and
while the count is being made. the space in
the polling room and outside the guard rail
shall be open to the public. Many boards dis
regarded this. and as soon as the polls closed
they locked themselves in To do the count
ing, thus rendering void one of the clauses
in the law inserted TO prevent as far as posi-.
bic crooked work by the board
At the last election the board in the Sec
ond ward, McKeesport, locked themselves in
to do the counting. w. H. Sims and A. j..
Carver, Of the Republican City Committee,
and William Evans came along and wanted
In. They demanded that the doors be open
ed in accordance with the law, but an en-
trance was refused them. The outsiders
became indignant, and finally broke the
door open and entered. Constable s. w.
Collins then returned the three men who
broke open the door, on the charge Of inter
fering with an election. The case went to
the grand jury. but as the law clearly per-
mits citizens inside the room during the
count, the bill was promptly ignored.

Suffering From catalepsy.

Jesse Eichelberger, of Eiehelbergestown,
Bedford County, is an inmate ofthe Altoor a
Hospital having been admitted March 9Th,
suffering from catalepsy. The staff Of the
Hospital has been paying much attention to
this peculiar case, and the attending ply
sicians were rewarded on Monday by the
patient recovering partial consciousness, be-
coming interested IN his surroundings, and
partaking OF some nourishment. Yesterday
he took some more nourishment, and his
condition is now better than it has been
since bis admission to the Hospital. In fact.
lie is considered to beon a fair way Of re-
covery.
When suffering from this disease, patient
is in a irance-like state or apparently sleep
ing all the time. They know not what
pain is, and the limbs can be placed in any
position, and there they will remain until
changed.
Eichelberger became affected with the
disease about two months ago, and had, up
10 Monday, been in trance-like state ever
since. Last August he fell of train, but
apparently escaped uninjured Later, in the
fall, while playing base ball. he eol.ided
with another and had his left leg injured.
Il is possible that he may have violently
struck his head against the ground which,
in either accident according to the medical
fraternity, would have superindnced cata-
lspsy.

the Nun teachers Withdraw.

Rev Father James Cosgrove, rector Of ST.
James parish, and others interested, Thurs
day afternoon, decided to withdraw the five
Sisters Of Charity who have been teaching
recently At the Riverside Public Schools in
the Thirty fourth Ward, Pittsburgh, and TO
reopen the parochial school of the St.
James Parish, where the Sisters formerly
taught, pending the decision Of the courts in
the matter OF the injunction prayed for by
the members Of the Junior Order United
American Mechanics, asking that the nuns
be restrained from teaching while wearing
the gar5 of their Order.
The Sisters were at once notified, and
they in turn instructed their pupils to report
at the parochial school Friday morning, and
there they viii continue to be taught by the
nuns As formerly, at least until such time as
the courts shall decide the question.
In the meantime the members Of the To-
cal school board, sgainst whom an injunc-
ton is also prayed for 10 restrain them from
employing nuns as teachers, propose fight
ing the question to a finish on purely legal
basis.
