How q German Scholar Squared HE
Last Account with the World.

How q German Scholar Squared HE
Last Account with the World.
Germany has a peculiarly German
kind Of wretchedness--the wretched-
ness of the highly educated poor. Hard
ly a winter passes without some school
masters dying for want Of the ordinary
necessaries OF life. The never-endins
doctors Of law. doctors Of music, and
doctors of theology has filed the offices
OF church and state and school to over
flowing. So around the fringe Of Off
cial life the whole length and breadth
Of the empire there hangs a hungry,
poorly clad, disheartened and embit-
tered contingent Of Phi. DIS, LII. DIS
and other less betitled scholars.
If any person wishes to learn how
bitter is the end Of one of these unem-
ploycd scholars he should read the story
OF Paul Eulenburg. doctor Of jurispru-
dence, who took his life in Blasewitz
three weeks ago. He was the son Of 4
Berlin professor Of medicine. He mar
ried II years ago and lived in unmar-
red happiness with his wife. He had
three children, 0. and az years old,
all girls. He had written much for
magazines and newspapers, had pub
iished several modest books and had
turned his hand to one play, "Our Bis
marck," which was presented repeated
~ in small Saxon towns last winter. He
and his wife lived in a fiat in Blasewitz
and eked out comfortable living with
MS literary earnings. Last winter his
income commenced to grow smaller ana
gradually dwindled until there was
none left. Then he tried for odd jobs
All failed. He pawned all his furni-
ture to pay his bills. The largest Of
these was for $3.50.
Finally bill for 20 cents found him
at the end Of all his resources. He
locked the doors and windows Of his
nat; he did not open them to the man
who called for the 70 cents. This cred
1tor got an order from q court to en-
able him to seize part of. Eulenburgs
furniture. He and a court officer broke
IN the front door Of the Eulenburg fat.
IN the hrst room they found the three
children in row on the floor. All
three were dead. In the next room lay
Eulenburg and his wife on the bed dead
Eulenburg left note saying that the
struggle for chance to earn his bread
mad become hopeless. He had poisoned
kne children, his wife and himself with
prussic acid. The tradesman found his
1O:cents in q little nickel pile on the
bureau. accompanied with a copy of
the Dill. The janitress found her
months pay in an envelope addressed
20 ner. Eulenburg had paid his last
oeot. He gave up, the struggle, just
even with the world.

Life During a Siege,

The conduct Of the people of Atlanta
during the siege Of that city in 1864 was
truly remarkable. When Sherman's
mighty host invested the city. writes
Wallace Putnam Reed, there was gen.
eral CONSERVATION among the citizens.
Until the very last day the people had
believed that they would be spared the
horrors of Il bombardment. Their gen.
erals. high officials and newspapers had
assured them that the invaders would
he driven back, and that the citadel of
the Confederacy would never undergo
the hardships of siege.
This proved to be mistake. In the
latter part Of July shells began to fall
within the city limits, and two or three
battles had been fought almost within
the precincts Of the suburbs. The out
look grew more serious every day, but
in short time the beleagured inhablt-
ants became accustomed to- their new
conditions. Hundreds Of big guns thun-
dcred away, and the crash Of small
arms kept every body awake during the
sultry summer nights.
After a week or so the non-combal-
ants in the city made up their minds
TO stand the racket and bear it philo-
sophically.
They went about their business and
pleasures as before. The newspapers
came out as usual, the merchants kept
open their places Of business, and the
society people continued their round Of
visiting. OF course, there were many
inconvaniences and dangers. It was
not pleasant to have social function
broken up BY an 18-pound shell crash
ing through the house, but the Attain
tam agreed that they would make the

pills is no less celebrity than Paderewski
Leschetizky, for that is his simple name,
does not believe in long hours. A pupil
may practice two hours day if she cares

opinion sufficient. This Is certainly de
lightful news and would surely horrify the
professors of the Berlin Conservatorium,
where 10, IL and IA hours are considered
none too much for an earnest student.
Leschetizky playing is described rs airy,
delicate and beautiful, and he is the ia
vorite master in Paris now. He was pu-
pill of Czerny's, who wrote those desperate
ly difficult exercises, and who was, as all
pianists know, Beethoven's fayorite pupil.
