.CUCCURAESE TRIAL

The trial of the woman who ran
away and the man who ran away with
her from her Monongah husband, is
on full blast before Magistrate Amos

some time. About half of the inhabi-
tants of Monongah were summoned as
witnesses and many appeared. There
are fully twenty to testify, and long
trial is in prospect.
George Cuccarese, the husband, took
the stand first. His testimony, while
yoluminous and willing, was SO prone
to branch off into hearsay that he
was shut Off after while without
having said intellectually without
having added anything damaging to
what is already known, 1. e., that the
pair ran off together. If anything, he
damaged his own case, admitting on

after he married her.

The Worlds Warriors.

Two well-known critics have recent
ly argued that Germany is destined
some day to a rude awakening. Gen.
Ricciotti Garibaldi believes that the
blow Is to come from France. Wolf
Won Schierbrand maintains that the
vainglorious, dissolute, overbearing,
cowardly Prussian junkers and SOL
diers of 1906 have their counterparts
in the German officers of to-day. De-
scribing the soldier of 1906 in an ad-
dress to gathering of his generals at
Berlin four years ago the present en-
peror said: "The glorious soldiers of
Frederick the Great had fallen asleep
on their laurels, ossified in the trivial
details of senseless, antiquated drill;
led by superannuated, unready and
unwarlike generals; their officers no
longer used to serious work and de-
generated by luxury, sloth and blind
self-glorifcation." Yet Wilhelm III. Is
himself the chief sinner, il Won
Schierbrand Is to be believed. A mil
itary correspondent says that the no.
bility hold an abnormal number Of
the higher appointments in the Ger
man army. OF the 166 Infantry regi-
ments of the Prussian army there are
not fewer than thirty-two whose tradi-
tion is to exclude officers of bourgeois
origin and the custom is gaining
strength.
