less he fulfilled his obligations at the
appointed time.
One day when Baron Maltzahn was
confessing the impossibility of finding
the money Madame Hartert remarked
to him:
Your only chance is marriage with
wealthy woman. If you are willing
to extricate yourself from all your diff
ficulties and to save me from ruin In
this way l will arrange through some
matrimonial agency to have you intro
duced to houses where there are heir
esses eligible for marriage
Baron Maltzahn accepted the pro-
posal and Madame Hartert persuaded
another friend of hers, named Count
Koenigsdorf, to introduce him to the
house of a wealthy Jew named Rosen-
field. Madame Hartert told Baron
Maltzahn and persuaded him to believe
that the matrimonial agent, who ac-
tually did not exist, had compelled her
to give him a written promise to pay
him $3.50 on the day on which
Baron Maltzahn married the heiress,
Miss Rosenfeld. Baron Maltzahn ac-
ccrdingly gave Madame Hartert a
written promise to pay her $25,000 for

FACULTY FAILS
TO SEE JOKES
Publication Of Student Body
of San Jose High School
Is Held Up by Professors
"JOSHES" CAUSE A ROW
Editors Will Be Expelled
Unless the Objectionable
Features Are BlOtted Out
Special Dispatch to The CAN.

SAN JOSE, Dec 19.-The holiday
edition of the High School Bell, the
publication of the student body, will
not be circulated unless it Is reprinted
is the edict issued by Principal r. D.
Hunt and the faculty Of the school
This Is all because of two 'joshes" the
editorial staff OF the Bell allowed in
the columns. The sixty-page edition
was all printed and bound and ready
to be sent when the order came from
the faculty. Alexander Franklin, the
editor, and Earl Menker, the business
manager, were summoned by Principal
Hunt and informed that the Bell as
printed could not be circulated and If
it was they would be expelled. Here
is one Of the jokes:
Yes. Grace NJ, your fancy stockings are
certainly very attractive.
The young lady belongs to the bas-
ketball team of the school and the
Josh" grows out of a game that the
team recently played.
The other one objected to is as fol-
lows:
First young lady-Did you ever notice
Thereon Sherburne's gold teeth?
Second young lady-NO. ne hasn't any.
First young lady-Yes he has
Second young LADY, have never noticed It,
First young lady-Perhaps you were never
close to his mouth as have been.
Principal Hunt declares that the
staff of the Bell has always been
obliged to submit the proofs of the
matter used in the publication to a
faculty committee to censor, but this
time did not do so. AS soon as he saw
a copy of the Bell he sent for the editor
and business manager and told them
that the two ''joshes" were vulgar and
must not be used. The boys explained
that In the rush it was impossible to
submit everything to the faculty and
get the paper out on time.
The editor and manager have re-
signed their offices. At a meeting OF
the class on Friday the seniors ac-
cepted the designations and decided to
stand by their associates. The action
of the principal Is denounced as arbi-
trary and a number Of cartoons show
ing him in the role Of the oppressor
with his foot on the editor of the Bell
are being circulated among the stu
dents.
1t is believed that the parents Of
scholars in the senior class will try to
settle the matter. The high school
strike in this city six years ago played
havoc with the standing Of the school
and drove away many students from
abroad who went to school here.
Late this afternoon it was reported
that the high school faculty had taken
the edition of the Bell from the Eaton
job office, where tSey were printed 1t
is said they will blot out the obJec-
tionable ''joshes" and then mail the
edition.

BULLET WOUND
IN GIRLS HEAD
Identity of Young Woman
Murdered on Mountain in
Colorado Still a Mystery
CORONER HOLDS INQUEST
Detectives Hope to Be Able
to Gain Clew From the
Dental Work in Her Mouth

COLORADO SPRINGS, Dec 49,
dead on Cutler Mountain on Saturday
was murdered was proved by the post
mortem examination to-day. The re-
moval Of her matted hair and scalp
revealed wound in the head and re-
suited in the discovery of the bullet.
There is as yet absolutely no clew
to the identity of the girl, the author
tiles here being wholly at a loss to
establish anything in this connection.
Many inquiries have been received
from large cities in the East in regard
to the girl, but nothing beyond that
revealed yesterday has been discovered,
the corpse showing nothing in the na-
ture of birth marks nor scars.
The bullet entered the left side Of
the head and penetrated the skull about
two inches behind and one and a half
inches above the ear. The bullet,
which was of 3S caliber, lay between
the skull and the scalp, the latter not
being perforated. The bullet was much
fiattened by its two contacts with the
skull
The authorities place no faith in the
possibility that there is anything in
the nature of a clew in any of the
cards and papers found about the
scene of the crime. Thousands of tour
lists annually attach their cards, letter
heads and other papers bearing their
names to trees and rocks in the can
yons and on the mountain tops in the
vicinity of this city and these are
blown about the hillsides promiscu-
ously. The dental work in the mouth
Of the murdered girl will afford sure
identification if its description is seen
by the dentist who did the work. The
work was worth at least $3.50.
Dr. Hanford, who performed the post
1nortem examination, stated that the
girls condition at the time of her death
was normal and that it was simply a
case of wanting to get rid of some
body
At the Coroner's inquest held to-day
several witnesses were examined, in
cluding the men who found the body,
the Sheriff and a dentist, who made
an examination of the teeth Of the dead
girl. The jury returned the following
verdict:
1.-The unknown woman came to her
death on a date unknown to this jury
and the cause of the death was a gun
shot wound below the back of the left
ear, ranging upward, the bullet being
a 3S-caliber and fired by some person
to the jury unknown"

This great piano sale on "Webers,"
cutting them nearly In two. can last
but few days. as nearly all are gone;
and the great difference between the
retail price Of such a piano, and the
factory cost figures we shall make to-
day. and tomorrow (to close out the
few beauties we yet have of this cele-
brated make) are so widely different,
that it would be almost impossible to
believe it. unless you are interested
enough in a piano to step in Immediate
ly while they can be had. and see for
yourself.
Any buyer OF a Weber. Wheelock, or
Stuyvesant piano at this sale, can use
it for five years, and then get more
money for it, if he By some misfortune
had TO sell, than he would now have to
pay US for it, and we'll make it $40 or
SIS a month
You can hardly afford to let this op-
portunity pass, and then have to pay as
much money for some cheap piano as
we would charge you to-day for a
weber or pay S20S more money for
piano of the same high grade when
this sale is over, and Webers are gone.
Some of our finest and most costly
pianos are yet left, but the best is the
cheapest, and at our prices to close out
the Weber line" anybody can afford
to buy the best who can stand $40 to
SIS a mOnth-and that's easy.
Just see what we can do for YOU in
the way of piano bargain in either
Weber" WheelOck, or Stuyvesaxt, at
126 Geary to-day. If the people will
meet us half way there won't be any
Webers left unsold tomorrow night.
Remember that 1867 will buy a finer
piano at this sale than has ever been
sold at retail for S40O anywhere. with
the factory guarantee to back it, and
on terms of $40 a month. Only three OF
this kind for sale. Try and see them

posed to and was accepted by Miss
Rosenfeld and the wedding took place
after brief engagement. Miss Rosen-
field received a dowry of 100000, half
OF which, according to the terms of
the marriage contract, was immediate
ly paid to her husband. Baron Malt
zahn Immediately paid $4,000 to Ma
dame Hartert for the phantom matri-
monial agent and another $500 for
the money-lender, to whom Madame
Hartert was only obliged to pay ST.
600. Madame Hartert consequently
secured a clear profit of $32,500 on
this acute double transaction.
In the course of decade Madame
Hartert amassed fortune of $500, 900
through her financial and matrimonial
deals. Her methods were finally ex-
posed when one of her victims, Baron
Nettelbladt, committed suicide and left
long letter explaining that he pre-
ferred death to paying Madame Hart
ert a big proportion of the private for
tune of any rich woman whom he
might marry. The letter found its way
into the newspapers and Madame
Hartert's house suddenly became de-
serted. The public prosecutor took
the matter up and brought an action
against her on various charges of fraud
and usury. The prosecution broke
down on technical legal points and
Madame Hartert was acquitted. Her
career in Berlin has been terminated,
but her fortune of half million dol
lars will enable her to start life afresh
under agreeable auspices in some
country where the story of her trans
actions in the German capital is un-
known

dangerous game. The $4,000 which
she had borrowed was largely ex-
hausted at a very early state of her
career. She paid $500 toward her
house rent, $1,000 to her dressmakers
and $500 on account to her furnish
ers. leaving only $4,000 to launch her
self into society.
Her efforts were successful in that
direction, however, and in a remark
ably short period of time Madame
Harterts house became the resort of
numerous men and women belonging
to the upper classes of society. There
were plenty of penniless young men
of noble birth who offered themselves
as candidates for the hand of the sup
posedly wealthy widow. It was
among this class Of visitors that Mad
ame Hartert secured her victims. Pos
ing as a good friend, who was in
clined to help them out Of their fin
ancial embarrassments, Madame
Hartert offered to procure loans for
them from professional money lend
ers. offering herself to be their Sc
curity.
PREYING ON POVERTY.
A typical case Of this kind was ex-
posed in the course of the recent trial.
One of Madame Hartert's visitors was
Baron Maltzahn. a lieutenant in the
German army, who soon confded to
her that he was threatened by ruin
because he could not pay debts
amounting to $4,000. Madame Hart
ert said to Baron Maltzahn:
II cannot lend you this amount my
self, but my credit will enable me to
borrow II from a money lender for
you. Your credit is so bad that you
cannot possibly borrow the money
yourself. / will give the money lend
er a promissory note and you can
give one to me for the same amount.
] feel quite safe in doing you this IA
vor, because I know that you as an
officer will certainly pay your debts
to a lady"
Madame Hartert then borrowed
$4,000 from a money lender, giving
him a promissory note for $17,50O in
return. Two days later she informed
Baron Maltzahn that she had been
able to get the required sum of $15,-
600, but that she had been compelled
to give the money lender a promis-
sorry note for $4,000 payable in three
months. Baron Maltzahn, who was a
careless young fellow, accordingly
gave Madame Hartert a promissory
note for $3.50 and the two became
better friends than ever. AS the time
approached for the repayment of the
sum to Madame Hartert Baron Malt
zahn, whose expectations in other di-
rections were disappointing, began to
grow extremely uneasy and Madame
Hartert carefully fostered his distress
by telling him that she could not pos
sibly repay the money lender and that
all her furniture would be seized un-
