81, TOO, WISH TO DE-
CRY OF A WOMAN AT BERNHARDT'S
PERFORMANCE OF "wERTHER."

Novelist, Attempts to Kill Her.
self in a Theater.

PARIS. March 2O.-At the close of Sarah
Bernhardt's performance in ''Werther' at
her theater yesterday evening, following
the dramatic climax, when Werther seeks
to kill himself. the audience was startled
by a woman's voice in the body of the
theater crying az. too, wish to die" This
was followed by a pistol shot. 1t proved to
be an attempt at suicide by Nine. Paule d.
Martigny, a well-known newspaper con-
tributor. She was accompanied by her
daughter, who, knowing her mothers sui
cidal intention, had withdrawn the ball
cartridges from the pistol and replaced
them with blank cartridges so that the shot
did no damage beyond causing temporary
panic. Finding that the shot was not eff
fective, Nine. De Martigny swallowed vial
of laudanum which she had concealed in her
handkerchief. The theat,- surgeon attend
ed the woman and ordered her removal to
hospital, where her condition at first
was thought to be serious owing to the
effects of the shock and of the poison. Later
she improved and now appears to be out
of danger.
1t was reported that the woman had been
influenced to act as she did by the dra-
matte spectacle, but developments indicate
that the case was one of restitution and
desperation. Nine. DE MartlgnyS young
daughter told pitiful story of her mothers
failure 10 sell her manuscripts. Nine. De
Martigny recently finished sketch entitled
Daily Bread" which failed to attract pur-
chasers. Finally she confided her purpose
to take her own life to her daughter, and
yesterday evening she wrote to the project
of police to the same effect. The girl then
removed the ball cartridges, but was not
aware her mother had the lauda,lum.
Nine. De Martigny Is thirty-three years
old. Her daughter is fourteen years old.
The mother has published a number of pop
ular novels. including ''The Bellies Re-
venge" idle Love- and Face to Face"
Her real name is Won Seeigmeyer.

LAFAYETTE, Ind, March 20-In answer
to notices sent out last night over 300 Pur-
due sophomores assembled in the grand
stand at Stuart Field tonight and appoint
ed one Of its members as a committee to
join with similar committees from the
freshman, junior and senior classes, the
four to call on the faculty and request that
the suspension of the four sophomore lead
ers be reduced This step toward seeking
a compromise was taken after several fiery
speeches had been heard.
Prof. Michael Golden. head Of the depart
ment of practical mechanics, addressed the
assemblage in the grand stand before any
action was taken. Besides the sophomores.
there were many men from all the other
classes present. Professor Golden advised
the sophomores not to take any rash step.
He said the four suspended students were
in favor Of having the affair dropped and
that nothing could be gained by threaten
ing or opposing the faculty. Professor Col
den was cheered when he concluded his
talk.
Immediately afterward all students not
sophomores were asked to leave. Then the
plan of action was decided on. 1t was de-
cided to request the faculty to reduce the
term of suspension of the rour sophomores
from one year to four months, or until the
end of the present school year. allowing
them to return to the university in the fall.
Representatives of the other classes prom
ised their support in such step. The vice
president of the class was named as the
committee. After this decision the meeting
was adjourned, the class cheering its lead
ers.
The committee will call on President
Stone on Monday. 1t is not probable that
any change will be made by the faculty in
the length Of the term of suspension.

PHILADELPHIA, March 20-A cable
gram from Florence, Italy, announces the
death to-day in that city of Charles God
frey Leland. the author and journalist.
Charles Godfrey Leland (Hans Brett
NANNY was born on Aug. Is, 1924, at Phil
adelphia, in the old dolly Madison house"
on Chestnut street. His first teacher was
Bronson Alcott, who guided the boys in
satiable taste for reading. Though he read
and studied all the time, his college studies
were neglected and he took low grade at
Princeton. He went to Paris in 184S and
took part in the outbreak of that year,
fighting with conspicuous ability as a lead
er Of the great barricade in the Foubourg
st. Antoine. The winter of 1s4S-49 was
passed in London; then he returned to
America and studied law. During the if
ties he was connected with various New
York and Philadelphia publications and in
1866 he became the managing editor of the
Philadelphia Press. The first of the Brett
mann ballads was published in Graham S
Magazine In 1856 After retiring from jour-
nalism he travelled extensively, wrote for
many magazines and published volumes of
poems and criticisms. He had a keen artis-
tic perception and spent much of his time
in introducing the minor arts among the
children of the Philadelphia public schools.

Franklin Will BE Challenged I'm De-
bate-GOod Baseball Prospects.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
CRAWFORDSVILLE,I Ind, March 20.-At
a meeting held with President Kane this
week, in which each of the literary societies
was represented, a decision was reached
favorable to an intercollegiate debate and
it is probable a challenge will be sent to
Franklin. The debating club at Franklin
addressed a letter to the Oratorical Asso-
citation here some time ago suggesting that
some arrangement might be made for the
schools to meet in debate. and the same
kind Of proposal was received from De
PAW 1t is probable, however, that the
former college will be considered most IA
vorably, partly because the relations of
Wabash and De PAW have been somewhat
strained over athletic differences. President
Kane, Professor futile and Professor Bo-
dine, acting with the presidents of the lit
erary societies. will select the debating
team.
The banner literary feature of the season
was the mock trial held before large au-
dience by the Lyceum Literary Society in
Lyceum Hall tonight.
Manager Eller has received a very en-
couraging letter from Eben Wilson and is
very hopeful of securing his services as
football coach again next year. His terms
are beyond the amount available for that
purpose in the athletic association, but the
popularity of the coach in the city gives en-
enlargement that the additional amount
may be had from this source. Z. T. Cotton,
one of the leading college workers under
the international committee of the Y. M.
c. A, held series of meetings in Wabash
College this week. He delivered four ad-
dresses to the student body.
The glee club Is practicing every evening
in preparation for the spring tour, which
will extend over three weeks. The clup
will fill its first date at New Market to-
morrow evening.
The basketball team played it's last game
at Terre Haute tonight. The team has
maze the best record of any department of
Wabash College athletics since the football
team of 1895. having lost only two games on
a large schedule, and both of those to Pur-
due.
The outlook for a good baseball team is
very flattering. Captain Thornell has had
his squad out in suits this week. The team
has a good pitcher in the person of Frank
Boulton, who last year pitched for the high
school team at Goshen. which won the high
school championship of northern Indiana.
