afternoon in her room at her home on
North Main street, cut slit ten inches
long in her stomach, and with her dis

them in a heap on the floor. She then
jabbed her breast with one of the
points of the scissors and fell TO the
floor in a swoon.
She fatally wounded herself, cav
ing no chance for life, and died Tues
day morning at 9:45 at Mercy hospital.
1t was the third and the successful
attempt that she had made at suicide
the past two weeks. She was insane at
the time and for weeks had been la
boring under the strange hallucination
that either she or her husband was to
die, and she preferred that it be she.
Drs. Boothby and Lindsay were call

but a glance showed that she was past

passed away. She was too weak to be
removed to a hospital so was carried
to her bed.
For the past two weeks Mrs. Pell-
man has shown signs of insanity, al
though it was only at times and then
she was not considered dangerous.
Her health was not the best, and this

THE RIGHT THING.
A New Catarrh Cure, Which Is Rapidly
Conaino to the Front.

For several years red gum, blood root

PRINCESS is SMITTEN.
Royal Babe Proves Blessing to a
YOUNG PadereWski.

Berlin, March 21.-Little Princess Louise
has obtained grant of $500 year for
young Pietro Arriola. the six-year-old
pianist whom Arthur Nikisch found a
few years ago when passing through a
little Spanish village with his famous
orchestra.
The boy was scarcely four years old
then Nikisch took Pepito with him to
Leipsig. where he is studying now under
the masters own direction.
A little while ago Princess Louise. who
is not much of a musical scholar, was
told by her father that he knew a tiny

GERMAN ARMY SCANDAL.
BrutaIities Put English Crimes in the
Shade.

Berlin March N.-It is by no means GER
tain that the disbanding of the Student s
Corps, "Vandalia" of Hanover will nip in
the bud a military scandal similar to that
which has convulsed army headquarters
and army society in England. The stu
dent Corps belongs to the Grenadier
Guards. Its members are young gen.
tIemen recruited from some of the best
families in the Empire. 1t has been dis
solved and forbidden to reassemble for
year from now.
Two members of ''Vandalia" have been
expelled because the corps ordered them,
as its two leaders to inf1ict corporal pun
ishment on two other members. Revela-
tons since the order of expulsion was
made indicate that there have been SINH
lar acts of disgraceful frequency, not
only in this corps, but in other branches
of the army in which gentlemen SOL
diers" fifure
OF course, it is only in the crack reei-
ments that such things occur. In Ger
many no scandal whatever results from
the time-honored practice Of maltreating
common soldiers. They are, and may be.
kicked and cuffed and logged, even
starved ana III every way ~
the hearts content of the aristocratic
young subalterns who are their immediate
superiors. If, as occasionally happens,
one of these victims dies on account of
injuries thus received, no bother is made
about it. The carcass is buried and is
speedily forgotten.
Real zest for this sort Of amusement, in
the German as well as in the English
army, exists only when one gentleman
officer is permitted by a custom in vogue
in his corps to maltreat his social equal
There is refinement about this sort of
amusement which is evidently much ap-
preciated. Details are not yet so numer-
Gus as those in connection with the Eng
Iish army scandals. but those who are in
touch with military organizations in this
country do not hesitate to say that for
ingenuity in deyising degrading means of
punishment for alleged violations of rules
only made in the hope of their being
transgressed, the German popinjays with
shoulder straps are quite the equals of
their English brothers.

problem. Not alone our canal, but our
whole social future upon the Isthmus,
