treatment of the lunatc inmates of the
monastery of Mariaberg. made during
the trial of suit for slander brought
against Hermann Mellage an inn keeper
OF Scharre and Warnatzsch, a newspaper
man. who published an exposure OF the
methods of the monks, whose methods
became known on the escape of Scotch
priest. Father Forbes. whose escape was
facilitated by Herr Mellage. The evI-
dence sh ows that the monks are ilIterate
men, totally un fitted to be attendants in
an asylum. They inflicted cruel personal
punishment, sometimes immersng the
patient head foremost in icy cold water.
The chains and other instruments of tor
ture applied to the patients we're produce
ed in court. After week . hearing of
the case the accused were acquitted, as
the public prosecutor admitted that the
allegations were Itisfied.
The newspapers all blame the parties
concerned for bestowing the Order of
Merit on Herbert Spencer without asking
whether he would accept it. Spencers
refusal to accept the highest scientific
distinction in Germany. coupled with the
refusal of Pasteur also, has caused great
deal of heart burning. According to one
account the emperor is responsible for
the Pasteur affair. 1t is SAID his majes-
ty did not consult the authorities of the
academy, but on his own initiate in
structed the German mbassy at Paris to
ascertain Pasteur's views. The matter
was to be kept strictly private and the
conduct of the distinguished French
chemist in giving publicity to his re-
fusal is regarded as breach OF confidence
and has greatly annoyed the emperor.

A Story Of Repainting Which Mr..

alleged Withholding of Graduation
Exercise Tickets

This has proven to be the most event
full year in the history of the high school.
The flag episode of last winter took high
rank as all event of note, but the flag ep-
sode of last Thursday night promises to
ECLIPSE all others in interest and practical
results. The facts of the case appear to
be as follows; On Thursday night some
parties unknown ran up small United
States flag to the top of the forty loot
flagstaff in front OF the high school.
Under the United States flag were sus-
pended yellow flag about four by six
feet in size, and black Nag of about the
same size with three large rs in red paint
ed thereon. The flagstaff then received n
liberal coat OF crude oil, and a barhed
wire was wound about it frcm the top to
within about twenty feet OF the ground.
The building south of the school
grounds which is used as a restaurant
by Mr.. G. A. Mcrsch, and which is about
twenty by forty feet, and twelve feet in
height was given thorough coat OF the
same cru lie oil on the north and east
sides, while the south side was orna-
mented six rs of large size made ''bach
wards As soon MS Principal Gates saw
the results OF the nights work he lost his
temper and began making all sorts OF
cha-ses against the members of different
classes. especially the A los and the B
1878. There seems to be no evidence
against either class, but Principal Gates
censured the pupils of the A 10 class very
severely and refused to give them tickets
to the commencement exercises at the
Los Angeles theater TO be held next We'd
nesday evening. The sixty or seventy
members of the class We're put through a
severe course of questioning. 1t is said
that the examinations we're made very
severe for the 12's and that Principal
Gates informed several boys that they
could never 60 to school in this city
again.
The matter has been hushed up as much
rs possible and each class is very re-
connection with the affair. Interesting
developments are expected before the
CONNIE encement exercises. In fact very
interesting details are promised by those
who seem to know the High School his
tory very thoroughly.
One interesting fact concerning Mr..
Merschs restaurant has never appeared
in print and is as follows: The class
that finished the co rse last February
wanted to display its colorS near the
High Schooi. The restaurant building
was rented tor one month with the
privilege OF painting it with the class
colors. Painters were employed 10 give
it nice coat of light green ana pink,
and to do the work in the night.
Mr.. Gates happened to be in the vicini-
ty at the time. He waited till the work
was done. then procured other men to
paint the building the original color.

north on Wednesday. They were the
chief feature of the woman's congress
which has just closed a week s session in
San Francisco. This congress attracted
large audiences of both men and women
and received Il great deal of attention from
pulpit and press. Meanwhile both Miss
Anthony and Miss Shaw were over
whelmed with social attentions and court
esles. Irlhe Unitarian club, an organiza-
tion of men only. postponed its annual
banquet in order to entertain them. The
Woman Suffrage club will hold two public

AN ANCIENT GYMNASIUM
Found in the Ruins of Greece-Important
Discoveries

Discoveries
NEW YORK. June S.-A dispatch re-
caived from DR.. Charles Peabody, dated
Etreria, Greece, states that gymnasium
and other wellpaved buildings have beer
uncovered, as we'll rs three inscriptions,
three heads and some architectural frag-
ments According to this dispatch the
work of excavating among the ancient
Greek ruins, which has been carried on
for some years by the American School
OF Classic Studies at Athens, is continu-
ing to show good results. DR.. Rufus
Ryan Richardson. who is mentioned as
overseeing the work. is the director of
the school and has supervised the explor-
ations which have been uncovered. They
are probably part of the buildings on
either side of an ancient street laid bare
last year between the theater and the
naval school of King Otho, and quite
near the latter.
= When the houses found last year were
cleared. floor of cement and pebbles was
found about meter below the surface.
The we'll paved buildings Of the dispatch
are no doubt OF a similar character. The
inscriptions. he adds, and the architect
ural fragments. are in all likelihood of
nature corresponding to the ones brought
to light year ago. in May. The state
ment about the excavation of the theater
being nearly completed indicates that
two former attempts made to uncover
the building have been followed by an
other. which has been pushed to a more
ompietely successful conclusion. Most
of thu more important ecavarions and
d discoveries have been made in the imme-
diate neighporhood OF this theater.
The herald., 1895-06-09

Mr.. Gates was informed that he was tres
passing and that he could clear himself
by having the building repainted with the
class colors. which proposition he accept
ed and carried out at an expense of $50.
The coat of black oil very effectually
conceals the green and pink stripes that
lately disting guished the restaurant and
the yellow and the black flags still wave
beneath the small edition of the Stars and
Stripes and above the oily pole covered
with barbed wire.
Principal Gates was seen yesterday by
Herald reporter and denied that any
tickets had been withheld from the mem
bers of the class or that they had been
punished beyond the fact that four of
them had been reported to the superin.

his estate should revert to mem bers OF
his family living in the east. If Pro
fessor Whiting died first his children and
wife Immediately became his heirs, but
if Mrs. Whiting died later her heirs would
inherit a small fortune to the exclusion
of the heirs of the professor in tho east. =
Two persons who said they were repre-
sentatives of attorneys. have called on A.
Sutherland and asked him some sig
niticant questions. Sutherland was on
the same raft with Whiting and tried to
save the professors life. Sutherland was
asked whether Whiting or his wife died
first. While the cool-headed survivor be-
lieves that Mrs. Whiting met her death
som etlme before her husband sank into
q watery grave, he could not positively
answer the question, as he did not see
Mrs. Whiting during the storm.

showed that the canal is in condition for
the passage of small fleet on June 10

between Rendspurg and Holtenau, but it
was nothing more serious than stirring
up the mud.
According 10 the programme the
Kaiser Adler. with Emperor William on
board, will head a procession of sixteen
German and foreign vessels which will
pass through the canal during the even

Vided with dock gates. each of which is
twenty-seven and one-half yards wide.
The lowest possible depth of water at the
Brunsbuttel end is live fathoms, and at
Holtenau the water is tritle deeper.
The dock gates are operated By hydraulic
power and the whole canal is lighted by
electricity. Steam tugs will be stationed
at each main gate OF the canal in order to
assist in the passage Of vessels. At sew
eral points the canal is crossed by large
bridges, which, when opened. leave a free
space OF fifty-four square yards. There
are also number OF ferries ana two
finely constructed permanent railway
bridges. The military advantage of the
canal is in the fact that henceforth in
time of war the German navy cannot be
divided and the provisioning Of either the
Baltic or the North shore cannot be in
corrupted or rendered impossible.
The agitation in France against the
French war ships at Kiel hoisting the
German imperial flag bearing the sinister
