OTTO OF BAVARIA.
Remarkable Story of the Insane Mon
arch and His First Love.

Remarkable Story of the Insane Mon.
arch and His First Love.
The following remarkable story Is re-
Bavaria. This last week he ate almost
nothing for some days, although his APP
petite Is usually unnaturally good. He
sobbed, walled and screamed uninter
ruptedly for hours, and even became at
times dangerous. One morning, how
ever, his physician and keeper eau
tiously pushed aside the heavy brocade
curtain which divides their bedroom
from that of the poor monarch and
found him with tears running down his
cheeks, gazing into little silver case
which they had often seen in drawer,
the key to which King Otto wore on a
fine steel chain round his neck.
AS soon as the King perceived that
he was watched he turned round and
smiled SO happily and naturally that
the doctor, surprised, stepped nearer.
Wearing the same joyful expression
the King cried out to him: Countess
L. has passed a better night. She is
now out Of danger.p He then carefully
locked up the little silver box, which
contained nothing but few dried
strawberries, and spent a very quiet
day. He also enjoyed his dinner again.
This is the other part of the story.
In 1867 there was a merry picnic in a
wood. Among the guests was the love
ly seventeen-year-old Countess L., with
whom the young Prince fell madly in
love at first sight. He sat next to her
at lunch, paid her the greatest atten-
ton, and then disappeared with her
into the wood. AS the young people
did not return, and 1t was getting late,
the mother Of the Countess became
anxious. and sent men servants out in
all directions. The culprits were found
with their hats full of Strawberries,
which they were merrily eating. The
next morning they were separated for
ever.
Prince Otto went with the King to
Munich, and the youthful Countess was
sent to the Convent of Misericorde.
where she has remained up to this day.
During the few days throughout which
the King had shown such unfavorable
symptoms, the girl whom he had loved
in his youth was really lying danger
lously Ill in her cell. Somehow or other

The most expensive dinner of mod

in color. All the floral decorations were
red, the electric lamps were red, the
knives were specially made with red
handles, the chairs were red, the carpet
was red. the table napkins were red
and even the walters wore red ties.
The reason of this color predominating
was that the millionaire had expert

ueeE,s A STORY OF THE MYSTIC
One sister Takes Poison, and her
Twin. Miles Away, Dies.

One Sister Iakes Foison, III"
Twin, Miles Away, Dies.
Students of the curious will ind lots
of material for investigation In the FOL
lowing queer story: Mary and Anna
Carter were twins. They were born IN
Indiana In 1856. From infancy the
girls were inseparable companions, anu
as they grew older bond of sympathy
stronger than that usually existing pc
tween two sisters, was noticeable. III
Mary was sick Anna was sure to Ieel
badly. Matters went along In this way
until 1880, when Mary was married 10
Alonzo Whittam, and later removed 10
Broome County, New York. Two years
after Anna was married to william
Schnell and took up her home at CAIRO,
Illinois.
The sisters correspondent frequently,
but as family cares pressed, their leu
tiers grew infrequent, and when, four
years ago, Mrs. Schnell moved to Okla
homa they ceased entirely. The strange
result of the sympathetic bond which
made one sister feel Ill when the other
was sick did not end, however.
One day in February last Mrs. Whit
tam, feeling unwell, took what she sup
posed was dose of medicine her hus-
band had procured for her from ply
sician in Binghamton, but which proved
to be tincture of aconite that had, been
set away and forgotten. Soon she be-
gan to feel i'll, and her husband hastily
prepared antidotes and a nelghbor was
sent for physician. When the physi-
clan arrived Mrs. Whittam was In
comatose condition, and it was with
the greatest difficulty she was revived.
She recovered, however, and about a
month afterward received letter from
Mr.. Schnell saying her sister was dead,
and that death occurred in a peculiar
manner.
On the day in February that Mrs.
Whittam was taken sick Mrs. Schnell
fell suddenly and violently i'll. No
cause could be assigned and the physi-
elan who was called pronounced all the
symptoms to be those of poisoning. At
first 1t was suspected she had tried to
commit suicide, but this was dlsproyed;
then suspicion conferred on the husband.
but there was nothing to implicate him,
as their life had always been extremely
happy. A post-mortem examination re-
vealed the fact that the heart had been
strangely affected. as in aconite poison
ing but no poison could be found in the
system.
When Mrs. Whittam wrote an ac-
count of her suffering relatives con-
cuded that death was the result of the
sympathetic bond existing since child
hood. Both had been affected alike,
but Mr. Whttam, knowing the cause
of the difficulty, administered the prop
er antidotes, and his efforts, seconded
by those of the physician, were sue
cessful, while Mr.. Schnell and the doc
tor, being in the dark as to the cause
of the illness. could not combat it sue
ce--fully.
Some persons in the Schnell neigh
borhood still hold to the theory that the
woman died from heart disease, but the
majority believe her death was due to
an accident.

These ships. however, have been dis
placed during recent years by larger
vessels. with larger crews, making for
each command larger claims on naval
estimates and on the reserve of men.
Some of the foremost authorities now
lean to the opinion that too much trust
is placed in big ships and guns, and too
little in the skill. enterprise and valor
which may be had in the direction and
management of a ship of moderate
size. To multiply such smaller ships
Is to multiply the chances of getting
good men in command. Piling up ar

men to subordination TO their interiors.

Large Versus Small War ships.

One argument that has been made in
favor of building comparatively large
number of small war ships rather than
smaller number of large vessels, with
large crews, is that the smaller ones
afford the greater number of indepen-
dent commands and opportunities for
training for command. Between 1872
and 1888. says Casters Magazine. sew
