Vienna is not as gorgeous as Paris.
Paris is the overdressed plebeian, Wen

Vienna The most light hearted people
l have ever known live here. The rich
are few, for everybody eats, drinks
dances and goes to the theater and lets
the morrow take care of itself. At Z
o'clock every evening, summer and win
ter, you will find three fourths of Wen
Ia not at home. In the summer in the
Prater, Statpark and Shoenbrunn, in the
winter in the too numerous beer gar
dens and theaters Vienna is chiefly
known for producing three things-wo-
men, theaters and coffee. From the cpl
curean standpoint the coffee is the best,
from a moral stand point the theater is
the worst, and from an aesthetic stand
point the women the prettiest ON the
continent.
The Prater, the largest public park
in Europe. is the home of the typical
Viennese. Here he may listen to the
music of an organ grinder or an over
ture from the latest opera Here he may
see a Punch and Judy show or comic
opera. He may spin about in a merry go
round or ride in a princely carriage.
Here, as nowhere else, the rich and poor
mingle and enjoy themselves. On Sun
days the Prater is crowded, and you feel
as if you are in a very bedlam.

Afterward Killed Himself In the Cabin
of the Master of the Craft.
Boston, Nov, 22.-Manual Genoario,
a sailor on the fishing schooner Two
Forty of Gloucester, lying at T wharf,
went crazy Saturday night and ran
amuck with sharp knife, attacking
his shipmates and badly wounding them
while they We're lying in their hunks.
GenoarIo was afterwards found dead
upon the floor of the cabin, his throat
cut and his knife in his hand.
Howard Sparks and Joseph Hay were
first attacked in the most savage manner
by the crazy man, Spanks being slashed
on the left shoulder and right foot, and
Hay having his left arm nearly severed.
The mailman then went into the cabin
aft and attacked the other sleeping men,
but the injuries inflicted were not so
severe. Joseph Hudson was wounded
twice in the right hand and Frank Gill
was cut on the right side of his neck,
his breast left foot, and twice on the
left hand.
The cries of the wounded men and the
noise made blythe crazy sailor awakened
Captain Silva, who at once rushed on
deck and cried for help. Genoario had
evidently tried to reach the captain, for
the formers body was found in Silvas
cabin
In response to the call, Special officer
Nicholas Murphy, who guards the wharf,
ran to the vessel and looked into the
cabin. He saw Genoarios body and
Immediately discharged his revolver in

the cabin were too much for the officer
and he collapsed with what afterwards
proved to be partial paralysis. Several
officers who answered the call found
they had no work to do except to send for
a physician 10 attend the wounded men. |
All were sent to the hospital, where |
their wounds were attended to.
Genoario had been acting rather queer |
ly for several days, but special atten-
ton had not been given to his condition.
The dead man was aged 80 and lived in
Gloucester, where he had wife and sew
eral children. He is spoken of there as
having been peaceabe man, and as
never having given any evidence CT be-
ing mentally unbalanced. He came
from Fayal a number of years ago, and
