having a dental degree from North
western university dental school in
Chicago, which is one of the foremost
in the world, would, according to this
decision, not be allowed to append
that degree to his name in Germany.
A glimpse of these German schools
will show the completeness of the sys-
tenn of popular education. First come
the public elementary schools, of
which there are in the empire So, 1854,
with 144,4S4 teachers Q22,145 male;
22,339 female), and S,S29,S12 pupils.
There are also GA private elementary
schools, with 100000 pupils.
Above the elementary schools rank
the middle schools of the townsville
Burger Schulen or Hohereburger Schu-
len-which fit their pupils for business
life. Children of the working classes
may continue their education at me
Fortbildung Schulen or continuation
schools" which are open in the even
ing or other convenient time.
The secondary schools are arranged
on = homogeneous plan. The Gym
nasia" are the most fully developed
classical schools, preparing pupils in a
nine years course for the universities
and the learned professions. These
ase the most numerous and, in spite
of the tendency against the classics,
the most popular. The Pro-gymnasia
differ from these in not having the
highest classes. Then come the Real
gymnasia, in which Latin, but not
Greek, is taught, and more time is
given to modern subjects" The
Real Fro-gymnasia" have similar
course, but have no class correspond
ing to the highest class in the preced-
ing. In the Observation-Disclosures" and
"Real-Schulen" Latin is wholly dis
placed in favor of the modern Ian
arc called "Hohere-Tochter-Sc
Besides these, there are numerous
':Gerrerhe-Schulen," or technical
schools, normal schools and semi
Haries.
The climax is the university. OF
these there are 81, at the head OF
which numerically stand Berlin univer-
sity, with more than 5000 students.
Leipsic is one of the oldest, celebrat-
ing in October, 1905, her five hun
dredth anniversary. In this university
Is the home of the great scholarship OF
which the Germans are justly proud.
The German professor and the Ger
man university student may not be
dismissed in a brief article. They
merit careful and prolonged attention.
Let us not forget, however, that
American institutions are attracting
worldwide attention, and less and less
is it becoming necessary for the ad-
vanced student in certain lines to visit
European schools. The amount o.
money poured out for American
schools by private citizens astonishes
the Germans, whose schools are sub
sidized chiefly by the state. America
in some educational features is decid-
eddy in advance of Germany, though
we acknowledge the supremacy OF the
fatherland in her vast and patient re-
searches in her commanding scholar
ship in all lines.

TRAGEDY IN BUFFALO.
Member Of a Grain Firm Kills Wife.
Daughter and Self-Thought
to Have Been Insane.

Buffalo, N. Y, July leone of the
most shocking tragedies that ever &C.
Cured in this city came to light Fri
day when the dead bodies of Edgar T.
Washburn, a member of the grain
firm of Heathfield & Washburn, on the
board of trade, Washburn's wife and
his young daughter, Gladys, Is years
old, were found in a bedroom of their
home at SO Putnam street, this city.
Mr.. Washburn had shot and killed
his wife and daughter and then turned
the weapon upon his own head and
killed himself.
1t is believed the deed was commit
ted while Mr.. Washburn was suffer-
ing from temporary fit of insanity.
He had written letter to a relative
recently, saying he was having troub-
les in business. AS far as is known
the members of the family had not
had any trouble among themselves.
The tragedy was discovered by a rel
alive who called at the Washburn
house shortly before noon Friday.
When the police arrived they found
Mrs. Washburn and her daughter ly-
ing dead, 81 side by side, in bed and
Washburn was dead on the floor at the
foot of the bed Evidently Washburn
shot the girl first as she lay in bed.
When Mrs. Washburn, aroused by the
shot, partly raised herself in the bed
Washburn fired the second shot, the
bullet entering the woman's left tenn
pie and causing instant death. Wash
burn then picked up mirror and taxi
ing aim shot himself in the right tenn
pie. The news of the tragedy had the
effect of practically closing the grain
exchange for the remainder of the day.

DIsTURBS CONDITIONS.
Trade Situation Is Affected by Strike
Otherwise Outlook Is Quite
Encouraging.

New York, July 16.-R. G. DUN G
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
Trade conditions were gradually be-
coming more normal after the conclu-
sion of political conventions, when a
new disturbing factor appeared in the
strike of packing house employees and
allied trades This enhanced prices of
meats and added many thousands to the
already large army of unemployed,
weakening the purchasing power of the
people still further. Aside from this
unfavorable development, the news Of
the week contained much encourage
ment. Crop prospects improved and the
general level prices for farm products
promises a large return to agricultur-
lists, which means better business for all
industries. Confidence grows with the
crops, retailers showing more DISPOSE
ton to prepare for the future as the sea-
son advances with no serious setback
to the farms.
Failures this week numbered 225 in
the United States, against 213 last year,
and 20 in Canada, compared with 16 a
year ago.
Bradstreet's says: diverse move
ments in trade, industry and specula-
ton give an irregular appearance to the
general business situation. Distributive
trade and industry is still quiet and even
dull, awaiting clearer views of the crop
out-turn. Damage to the winter wheat
crop by heavy rains is admitted, though
alleged to be exaggerated. Disorganiza-
ton in the meat slaughtering industry
has followed strike which, if not set
tied, as now seems likely, contains much
power for evil. All meat prices have
been advanced and cattle shipments
checked. Railway gross earnings for
the fiscal year will show an increase over
the best previous years, but net results
are less clearly defined, with the ques-
ton whether an increase or decrease
will be shown still in doubt. The general
undertone is one of confidence. good re-
suits being looked for by the business
world from an expected large volume of
fall trade"

TROUBLES OF AN HEIRESS,
Fraulein Krupp, Richest Girl in Essen.
Germany, Guarded by
Detectives.

1t is one of the grim ironies of fate that
a young girl, barely OF age, should be
in a sense responsible for the bloodshed
in the struggle between Russia and ia
pan, owing to the fact that she supplied
both powers with practically all their
guns. The young woman in question is
Miss Krupp, who, on the death of her
father, became chief proprietor OF the
world-famous Krupp works at Essen,
and likewise became the wealthiest
woman in the world. >
The heiress seems to have inherited
some of the family capacity for in
dustrial organization, for she takes the
greatest pride and delight in supervising
the work of the different departments,
and declares that at some future time
she will have gained sufficient experience
to take an active part in the direction of
affairs.
Meanwhile, her interference in bust
ness matters is limited to passive super
vision, but she takes more active part
in controlling the management of the
numerous auxiliary departments of the
establishment. The schools for the chill
dren of her employees and the hospitals
for the care of the sick receive regular
visits from her, and she has sharp eye
for defects of all kinds. "
Knowing human nature, it is hardly
surprising to find that Miss Kupp's
employees do not appreciate her good
qualities and charitable ways. Living in
Miss Kupp's houses, sending their chill
dren to her schools, applying to her hos
pitfalls when they or their families are
sick, attending her churches, drinking
beer in her restaurants, buying meat
from her slaughter houses, -four from her
mills, bread from her bakeries and hats
and clothes from her stores makes them
feel that they are her serfs, and not free
born laborers.
Miss Krupp's charitable disposition
has become known to the general public
in Germany, with the result that she
receives, on an average, over 200 purely
begging letters a day, and over $50 let
tiers daily entreating her to grant some
young man.
She also has to undergo some OF the In
conveniences which are generally con-
funded to emperors and kings. Her vast
wealth and the ownership of an entire
city make her likely target for an
archists' bullets, and her friends are in
constant terror of assassination. For
this reason her guardians have insisted
on her being continually guarded by a
special corps of detectives, who are al
ways in her vicinity.

FRAUDS IN A BALE OF Hay.
Frauds In watch Cases.

According to an article in the Cincin-
matt Commercial, ffty-one pound stone
was recently found in that city seereted
in bale of hay Of eighty pounds.
This is not as bad as finding lump OF
lead of nearly one-half the weight Of the
solid gold watch case secreted in the CEN
tire of the case.
Gold watch cases are sold by weight, and
no one can see where this lead is secreted
until the springs Of the case are taken out
and the lead will be found secreted behind
them.
These cases are made by companies who
profess to be honest, but furnish the means
to the dishonest to rob the public. 1t is
not pleasant for anyone to find that he
has lugged lump of lead in his watch
case.
Another trick of the makers of spurious
solid gold watch cases is to stamp the case
"U. S. Assay" The United States does
not stamp any article made out of gold and
silver except coin, and the fakir, by using
this stamp. wants to make the public be-
lieYe that the Government had something
to do with the stamping or guaranteeing
the fneness of watch cases.
Another trick OF the watch fakir is to
advertise watch described as solid gold
filed watch with twenty or twenty-five
year guarantee. These watches are gener-
ally sent C. o. D., and if the purchaser has
paid for the watch he finds thaS the COM
pany which guaranteed the watch to wear
is not in existence.

OF Canton: Ohio, who are constantly ex-
posing these frauds, will furnish the names
of the manufacturers who are in this ques-
tionable business.
