MURDER IN THE GERMAN ARMY.
Trivial Punishment for Officers Who
KIN Their Men by Way of "Discip-

From the London Chronicle

line"
From the London Chronicle.
A correspondent sends us the following
translation from German paper of the
recent killing of a sergeant by his officer,
Count Stolberg- Wernigerode:
1.-The following particulars are now
available of the exploit of Count Stolberg-
Wernigerode, captain in the Fifteenth
Regiment of Uhlans, in Saarburg, Alsace,
who cut down Sergeant Stelnhardt of his
regiment. Steinhardt was quartermaster,
and was ordered off to forage. The SOL
diers engaged in cooking forgot, In the
sergeants absence, to insert the rubber
rings in the covers of the pots, in con-
sequence of which the food got spoiled.
Capt. Count Stolberg called Steinhardt to
account for this. S'he sergeant excused
himself from blame on the ground of his
enforced absence. Later on the captain
renewed his reproaches, and told Stein
hardt he was the lowest cur and greatest
backyard in the regiment. Steinhardt
answered that he did not think he deserv-
ed TO be called that. On this Count Stol-
berg gave him box on the ear that made
4 him reel over against the wagon Stein
hardt said to two of his comrades: You
saw how / was struck" Count Stolberg
Immediately drew his sword, and first
gave Steinhardt a cut on the leg, and
then a thrust on the left side of the head.
Steinhardt fell down unconscious. (An-
other account tells how Stemhardt on
first coming to, tried to stop the blood
with his handkerchief, and to stand at
attention" till he fell unconscious again !
He was taken to Hagenau, where he died
without recovering consciousness. The
funeral took place with full military hon
ors, according to the "B. NJ" CBadische
Nachrichten), which demonstrates that
Steinhardts innocence is recognized even
officially. The parish priest in his funeral

denounced the act perpetfated by Stol-
berg as one Of the most brutal violence

THE NURSE WON HIS HEART.
Prof. Daniels to Wed a Presbyterian
HOSPITAL Attendant.

From the Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette.
Princeton, N. j., Oct. 22.-Princeton Uni
versitv has a romance such as it has never
had before, and the staid people of the
little old college town have turned to won
dering. It came about in most remark
able way.
Last January Prof. Daniels did not
meet his classes in political economy, and
it was announced that he was very i'll. He
had been compelled to give up work for
the time being and had gone to New
York to occupy a private room in the
Pres byterian Hospital 1t was there that
he found even more than health, for by
the time he was recovered from his illness
he had lost his heart to the nurse who
had saved his life.
He had been attended by Miss Robert
son, one of the regular attendants in the
hospital and her womanly qualities had
apo aled to his admiration as strongly as
her skill as a trained nurse did 20 his
bodily needs He went back to his classes
not only recuperated in strength, but with
a more buOyant spirit.
The students noticed that his lectures
were more interesting and his smiles more
frequent. new force had entered into
his life. Frequently thereafter 1t was no
ticed that he made trips away from
ACeAAAA
our that he went to Montville, Conn. That
was the home of the nurse who had at
tended him at the hospital.
Last Saturday the professor left Prince
ton, and 1t was announced that he would
not meet his classes again for a week. The
students prepared TO give him a rousing
reception on his return, but were in the
dark beyond the fact that he was 10 be
married. They had no idea of the identity
of the bride. Just before his departure
they had decorated the board in front
of which he lectured with pictures of old
shoes, rice and other emblems of matri-
mony, but the professor only smiled, and
gave them no details Of the approaching
ceremony.
The secret leaked out this week when
Profs. Thompson, West and Wickoft took
the train for Montvile They went to at
tend the wedding. Prof Wickoff, of the
department of sociology, acted as best
man.
Prof. Daniels is very popular with the
students, and they are making extensive
preparations 10 welcome him properly
when he returns to Princeton.

Mai. w. A. Guthrie of Durham, in adj
dItion to being an able lawyer, an astute
pohtician, and an admirable gentleman
otherwise. is fond of literature of the
best class. He likes to search through
rare books and papers. Some years ago
at the sale of the effects of some aged
citizen he bought two rusty-looking vol
unnes for a mere trihe, along with other
books. On examining the books he found
them to be Travels Through the Interior
Parts Of America, in Series of Lectures

are the letters of Lieut. Thomas Au-
burey. He was taken a prisoner at the
battle of Saratoga during the revolutionary
war. From there he was sent as a pris
oner to Boston, and later was marched
with many other prisoners OF the Brit
ish army, who had been captured at
various places, TO Charlottesville, Va. Mr..
Jones. a large planter of Virginia, and
member of the Continental Congress, had
rendered his plantation and negro quarters

this plantation Aubrey wrote many Of his
letters All the prisoners were paroaed.
This officer spent his time in riding about

MONEY FLOWS ron HER SAKE.
Mrs. william G. whitney Most For
tunnte of InvaIids.


Mrs. William C. Whitney is one of the
most fortunate as well as one of the most
patient sufferers ever known. Her hus-
band has given up his business affairs TO
devote his entire time 10 Mrs. Whiney's
welfare
Mrs. Whitney lies In the south room of
her Westbury IL. - home on a couch
built especially for her Her position is
half reclining, and this she cannot change
couch she looks through a large window,
and can see the naturally beautiful land
scaoe.
But well person becomes tired of land
scapes, so Mr. Whitneys one effort has
been TO change the scenery, so far as
money and brains can, to assuage the
dreadful monotony of her sickness
First, he built race course, where his
and his sons horses are schooled over the
jumps Now he is having golf links laid
out, the great part Of Inc course being
within the track circuit, and directly in
view from the sick chamber
DR.. Mann, the attendant physician, lived
at Roslyn, three miles from the Whitney
home and although they had telephone
connections and horses and traps in
plenty. the Whitneys thought Il better 20
have the physician nearer; so the Velsor
farm. adjoining the Whitney property,
was bought last week at cost Of $1,000
ana Dr. Mann is now living there.
This. no doubt, gives rise 10 the rumor
that Mrs Whitney was growing worse.
on investigation that was proved to be
untrue. as the suffering woman Is slowly
but surely improving, and her family and
physicians have every hope Of her ultimate
recovery.
Besides the new golf course another
amusement IS in store for Mrs. Whitney,
although II VIII be only temporary. The
Meadow Brook Steeplechase Association
will hold its third annual cross country
races at the Whitney place on Nov. g.,
ana Mrs. Whitney will have the pleasure
of Witnessing real race matchmaking
which few, II any, other invallds ever en-
loved. The card will consist OF six races.
three steeplechases for gentlemen riders,
one fat race for hunters, an open steeple-
chase and team race, the last being the
feature OF the programme. Besides the
natural hunting property the six furlong
course already laid out makes the Whitney
