Light may be thrown on the psychology
Of murder by remarkable assassination
reported from Riva, at the head Of the
Iago di Garda. Riva Is peaceful, lovely,
little Italian town, though still in Austrian
possession. and a favorite summer and
winter resort for Germans. One Of Its
attractions. is the Ponale waterfall, a mile
or 30 out OF the town. Herr LADEYBURoER,
a south German city Judge on vacation
tour. was returning from a walk TO the
Ponale, when he met on the road Prus-
sian named MULLER. perfect stranger
TO him. who drew a revolver and shot him
dead. MULLER was arrested at once,
and after pretending for a while to be mad,
gave an account of himself.
He came from Insterburg in Prussia.
where he had been sent to jail for theft
After his discharge he found that he had
fallen In the esteem Of his townsmen. and
that Insterburg was no place for him
He was unable to make his way in other
places and drifted to Riva, where. as his
money was giving out, he decided TO kill
himself and bought a revolver. He started
on the Ponale road In doubt whether TO
shoot himself or to jump into the lake.
when he met the unluoky Judge. The
Judge looked so happy, so well pleased
with himself and with life, shat MtLI.ER
fired at him Immediately -out Of hatred
OF tho world and mankind"
He was asked what had become Of his
resolve to commit suicide. and explained
that the sight Of blood had stilled his rage
against the world. In the days Of the
romantic movement a well-to-do bourgeois
was like red rag to the heroes OF MtRGER
and THEoPHIIE GAUTIER and HEIHE, but
the violence was shown in literature rather
than In actual life. There are no signs Of
literary or even anarchist Incentives in
MULLER's case. II seems TO be pure rage
at any one who dared TO be happy.

InqersoIIs Tribute to Napoleon.

"a little while ago l stood by the
grave of the old Napoleon-a magni-
ficent tomb of gilt and gold, fit al
most for a dead deity-and gazed
upon the sarcophagus of rar6 and
nameless marble, where rest at last
the ashes of that restless man. l
leaned over the balustrade and
thought about the career of the
creates: soldier of the modern world.
II saw him walking upon the
banks of the Seine, contemplating
suicide. / saw him at TOulon. L
saw him putting down the mob in
the streets of Paris. [ saw him at
the head of the army in Italy. L
saw him crossing the bridge of Lodi,
the tri. color in his hand. [ saw him
in Egypt in the shadows of the
pyramids. l saw him conquer the
Alps and mingle the eagles of France
with the eagles of the crags. | saw
him at Marengo, at Ulm and Aus
terli'z | saw him in Russia, where
the infantry of the snow and the
cavalry OF the wild blast scattered
his {egions like winters withered
leaves. l saw him at Leipsic in de-
feat and disaster, driven by a million
bayonets back upon Paris, clutched
like a wild beast, banished TO Elba.
| saw him escape and retake an en-
pire by the force of his genius.
saw him upon the frightful field of
Waterloo, where chance and fate
combined to wreck the fortunes of
their former king. Aud L saw him
at st. Helena, with his hands crossed
behind him, gazing out upon the sad
and solemn sea.
II thought Of the orphans and
the widows he had made, of the
tears that had been shed for his
glory, and of the only woman who
ever loved him pushed from his
heart by the cold hand of ambition
And l said I would rather have been
a French peasant and worn wooden
shoes. l would rather have lived in
a hut with vine growing over the
door and the grapes growing purple
in the kisses of the autumn sun.
would rather have been that poor
peasant, with my loving wife by my
side, knitting as the day died out Of
the sky, with my children upon ms
knees and their arms abb ut me.
would rather have been that man
and gone down to the toungeles'
silence of the dreamless dust thar
to have been that imperial Imper'
sonation of force and murder know
as Neapoleon the Great"

A Dream That Did Not Go By Cor
trarv,

A certain lady, an English maya
ziue relates, dreamt that she was in
Hong Kong, and that she saw her
uncle Cher fathers brOther) and his
wife in the form of candles burning
down to an end.
There was a sort of race to see
which would die out first, and she
was curiously interested in it. At
last to her intense delight las it
seemed), aunt f1ickered out first, to
be followed shortly by the uncle.
Some days after this she heard
that her uncle and aunt had both
died at the same time at Hong
| Kong. The uncle left will be-
queathlng all his property to his
wife. The wife had died intestate.
and so the property was claimed by
her heir at-law. The lady now be-
gan to tell her wonderful dream. At
last she happened to mention it to a
legal luminary, and when she told
him also how the property had gone,
he became suddenly interested
There may be something in the
Dream" he said. According to ii
your aunt died first, leaving no will.
Therefore your uncle's will became
valueless, and he practically died
intestate. Therefore his property
would go to his heir-at-law-who, as
far as | can see, is yourself. 1t is
worth inquiring about" The LADY
instituted inquiries, proved the &C.
curacy of the dream, and got the
money.

To Our Candidates.

The polls are not closed to other en-
tries, but those of you who are first in
the field should avail yourselves of the
opportunity of having neighborhoods
not represented by any candidate
worked in your behalf. Write or tele-
phone to all the acquaintance you have
in that neighborhood but select some
particular friend in that neighborhood
and ask him or her to work for you
That is the way they do in elections
Every candidate has or tries to have,
some particular friend in every neigh
borhood to look after his interests and
catch the floating" vote. There is an
unusually large floating" vote in this
election; that is, people who don't care
who they vote for, or whether they vote
at all Or not; and the hustling candidate
who gets the largest per cent, of this
'don't care" vote, will doubtless get the
phaeton. You must have some general
ship in your race; think, and plan, and
scheme, and work. 1t is not only a
beautiful phaeton you are working for,
but now that you are in the race of
course you have pride enough to want
to win.
hoLueHlOSr Gureo pom Us
First You have two papers to help
you ; the DAILY and WEEKLY HERALD
subscriptions to either will count.
Second when you get a promise,
try and get the money; for promises
sometimes are forgotten, but the money
counts.
Third Don't work for renewals only,
just because they are easy try to per-
suade others to take the HERALD for
your sake. Ask somebody to ask some
body to persuade somebody to take the
HERALD for your sake. Every name
counts vote, and every vote counts a
heep in close race like this.

Rowdy Baseball Helping Golf.

A peculiar circumstance has contribut-
ed to COLTS popularity and that is the
rowdyism that brought baseball into
disrepute. There is no contest that
equals the great American game. 1t has
the snap, the scinece the skill, and every
feature that appeals to the quick appre-
citation and nervous demands of the aver
age American. But Americans do not
like profanity. and the better classes OF
them are opposed to paying good money
to be disguised by the bad manners and
worse language Of hired ruflians.

cued from Its low condition and there
will be the mightiest revival ever known

BOY ALMOST KILLED BY A CAR
Charles Jenkins Collided With
Trolley Pole and Was Terribly
Injured.

Charles jenkins, 10 years of age, is ly-
ing at Murray & Freund's hospital un-
conscious from injuries rev. ed while
getting off of a Columbia Gardens car
last evening. "-
1t seems that Jenkins in company with
four othr boys boarded the car while it
was in motion, down near the baseball
grounds. for a ride up town. Neither the
conductor, who was on the opposite side
of the car, nor the motorman saw the
boys get on. AS the conductor went
around the running board Of the crowded
car to collect other fares, the boys saw
him coming and slipped off the car,
young Jenkins jumping off just in time
to strike one of the trolley posts. He was
unconscious when picked up, and has re-
manned so ever since, having had no lucid
moments last night or today. He was
taken to the hospital and his parents,
who live on Harrison avenue, notified of
his condition. They at once went to the
hospital, but have succeeded in getting
nothing from the boy in regard to the
accident.
The boys head is badly bruised, though
it is not cut and he has suffered severe
conclusion of the brain. 1t is the opinion
of the doctors in charge that he will soon
recover, and be little the worse for his
accident.
