The developments In the English
army make our hazing at Annapolis
seem quite tame and comparatively re-
spectacle. A young officer in one OF
the swell regiments committed the aw-
full crime Of being poor and not having
money to meet the lavish expenditures
expected, whereupon his fellow officers
stripped him, smeared him with motor
oil. covered him with feathers and
plastered his hair with jam. Evidently
the British standard for officers and
gentlemen needs immediate elevation.

upon individuals whom thew disliked
or who interfered with their methods
of administration or objected TO their
behavior. Along about 1920 we read
of n Jean Poccolat. who was
stretched upon the rack in ordo, to
compel him to give his reasons for
laughing at n of the dukes He
mentioned several reasons. but as
they were not enough to satisfy the
object of his ridicule, he smashed the
bones of Poccolat's legs, and arms
and stretched the sinews and muscles
until the broke. Then he hung his
agonized victim up by ropes in his
dining room, where he could make
fun of him while he was eating his
dinner. The dukes of Savoy were not
amiable men.
Bonivard was born at Geneva in
1493, and after receiving al unusual
ly good education for that time, sue
ceeded his uncle as prior of a large
monastery. Such honors could be in
herited in those days. He did not
pretend to be pious, nor did he trou-
Bile himself about the souls of the
community, but spent his time in
study and travel. He read many
books, mor than any one in that part
of Europe, and went as far as Rome
and Salzburg in one direction and as
far as London in another. He organ
lied a patriotic society called the
Children of Geneva" and made
flaming speeches against the Duke Of
Savoy. 1t was a dangerous occupa-
ton. Fl
In 1919 the Duke visited Geneva to
see how things were getting along
and caught two members of the So
ciety, whom he tortured until they
confessed that Bonivard was their
leader. Then he cut off their heads
and placed them on poles at the en-
trance to the bridge across the
Rhone. When Bonivard learned of
this he disguised himself as a monk
and fled, but he got no farther than
the forest of Jorat, near Lausanne.
when two men who were travelling in
his company attacked him, bound his
hands and feet, and, under menace OF
death, compelled him to assign TO
them his property.
After they had done this they
treacherously turned him over to the
duke, who sent him to the Castle of
Chillon for two years. This imprison-
ment did not quench his patriotism,
and, after his return to Geneva, he re-
organized his society and carried on
a feeble sort of guerrilla warfare with

The CASTLE
OF CHILL|ON.

The famous old castle of Chillon,
which Byron made famous by his
poem and the story of Francois de
downward, it's most celebrated prison
Ter. has been restored in an admirable
manner, says William E. Curtis, IL
the Washington Star, writing from
Ouchy, Lake Geneva. When was
last here it was filled with rubbish
and was being gradually torn TO
pieces by vandals. But a society FOL
its preservation was organized II
obtained authority from the state,
which owns the property, to restore
it as nearly as possible to its original
condition. The work is being skill
fully done under the direction of Mr..
Neff, an architect of Lausanne, who
has twenty or thirty masons and
stone cutters constantly engaged, and
they are putting the old ruin in good
shape. The society is also beginning
to collect articles for a museum of the
middle ages, and, in one way or an
other, by presentation or purchase,
has secured some interesting histori-
cal relics and other material.
An admission fee of 10 cents IS
charged to keep up the place and car
nv on the work of restoration, and a
good income is derived from that
source. The custodian told me that
they had more than $4,000 visitors
last year, and this year the number
will be much larger. The day before
we were there 500 people, mostly
tourists and half of them Americans,
visited the place, and the young wo-
man who showed us the castle said:
sit was perfectly awful" The visitors
are Sent around in squads of twenty
or thirty, each in charge of young
women, who repeat the story of the
place and describe the different rooms
in French. Nearly all the guides can
speak English and answer questions
politely.
The chateau is one of the Oldest in
Europe, the present building dating
hack to the eighth century, and 1t has
had a thrilling history. Its records
have been kept since the year $50,
when Louis de Debonnaire, of France,
imprisoned Abbot Wala, of Convey,
who had instigated his sons to rebel
lion. Historians insist that there was
a castle here at the time of the Ro-
mans, but there is no record. In the
thirteenth century, Count Peter, of
Perth Amboy evening news., 1906-11-27

Savoy, enlarged and strengthened it,
and it was still further extended by
his successors in the fifteenth cen
fury. After Geneva Joined the Swiss
federation it became a prison and
then an arsenal, and then it was aban-
doned entirely. 1t stands on the east
ern end of Lake Geneva on the edge
of the water, at the village of Terri
tet, near Montreux, one of the most
attractive resorts in Switzerland,
where the late Empress Elizabeth, OF
Austria, always spent a month every
season. She was stopping here at the
time of her assassination, and was
making an excursion around the lake
in one of the steamers.
Immediately over the castle, on the
brow of a hill, perched about 800 feet
above the water, is a handsome villa
owned and occupied by Mr.. Jenkins,
of Baltimore. Several other Ameri-
cans are living permanently in this
vicinity. Mr.. Remson Whitehouse,
formerly secretary of legation at Mex
leo and Rome, and secretary of the
first Pan-American conference, has
a lovely place at Ouchy, and is doing
some valuable historical and bio
graphical writing. Theodore Dwight,
formerly librarian of the department
of state at Washington, who married
Sally Loring, daughter of DR.. Loring,
the former commissioner of agricul-
ture, lives at Vevey.
Frances de Bonivard, the most fa-
nous prisoner of the Castle of Chill
lon, was not exactly what Byron rep
resented him to be in his poem, The
Prisoner of Chillon." Byron exercised
more than the usual poetic license,
but Bonivard was a scholar, a gentle
man and a patriot, although, like
some other gentlemen that we know
or have read of, he was short of funds
at time. The records of the courts
of Geneva show that an i~nnkeeper
was compelled to sue him for board
and got a judgment. AT the same
time he founded the p~ubliclibrary,
of Geneva, which is now n of the
most important in Europe, and was
official historian of that famous city.
After he had been released from
prison he did not pose as a martyr,
but hustled around for a living, and
wrote a most interesting account of
the caste, with scarcely a reference to
himself and his own sufferings. He
was equally modest in his history of
Geneva, for he gives himself no credit
for leading the Genevese in their
struggle for liberty against the dukes
of Savoy, for that was the reason he
went to prison.
The dukes of Savoy were fairly
successful in revenging themselves

reckless, frivolous. self-willed wo-
man, and a year of convent life made
her desperate. She managed to ef-
feet her escape, and fled to Geneva
where she found refuge in the lodg
ings of her fathers friend, who was
then an elderly widower, living alone
When he discovered his guest he beg
ged her to take refuge elsewhere, IN
order to avoid compromising him as
well as herself, but she pleaded lor
secrecy, and declared that she "ouiu
remain there until he could arrange
means for getting her out OF the CITY.
Her presence was discovered anu
both were summoned before the con
sistory. Their explanations were not
accepted. 1t was assumed that noni
ward was her lover and had assisted
in her escape from the convent, al
though both of them denied II Stout
ly. The consistory decided that they
must marry. ts..D.s,
The woman was furious with indig-
nation and chagrin at the mischance
of her escape and Bonivard pleaded
" HOi
his age. poverty and infirmities. He
protested that he had no love or even
respect for her; that they were I'M
c%ongenial; that she was a frivolous,
thoughtless person, with. an empty
head, and he was a student and a
scholar. He had allowed her to re-
main in his house after her escape
from the convent simply because she
was the daughter of IN old friend and
knew not where to go; and that his
relations with her had been perfectly
pure and honorable, but the consist
DRY decided that the only way to save
their souls and avoid a scandal was
to marry them; and thc--ceremony
took place the same afternoon.
OF course, the inevitable happened.
Bonivard hated the woman for having
brought upon him all this trouble and
distraction in his old age, and she
hated him because they kere married.
They pair very little attention to each
other, although his peace vas disturb
ed and his happiness was destroyed,
and she sought her pleasure outside
her own household.
1t was not long before the bride
was brought before the consistory
again, upon the most serious accusa-
tons. Bonivard refused to believe
them and defended her. His ems of
humor had not left him, and when he
was compelled to appear as a-witness,
he testified in her behalf. He said
that he found nothing to complain OF
in her conduct; that she was a. good
wife, and a very pious wduian thai
she often had f1outed him because
he did not preach the gospel, and
twice had beaten him for inviting
friends to drop in and have a glass Of
wine at his home.
