BOGUS CAPTAIN A HERO
Raids German Town and Carries Off
$3.50, Placing the Mayor
Under Arrest
Special Cable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald.
BERLIN, Nov. 10.-The bogus guards
captain who succeeded in raiding the
town hall of Koepenich. carrying off
s1250 and placing the mayor under
the arrest of German troops, is still
the hero in Germany
He commands admiration for the
GOODNESS and courage which enabled
him to commite in the twentieth CEN
tury one of the most astounding acts
of brigandage ever recorded. The
kaiser has ordered that he shall be
kept fully informed by telegraph with
regard to the adventure.
The Hamburg police report that they
have evidence which leads them to be-
lieve that the robber is a German
American named Miner, several times
arrested for petty swindling.
The supposed captain, who wore the
uniform of the First regiment Of in
fantry guards, accosted a detachment
of soldiers when marching back from
drill to barracks in Berlin and directed
them to follow him, saying he carried
an imperial decree ordering him to eff
feet important arrests.
When the military detachment occu-
pied the town hall a large crowd gath
cred, naturally attracted by the sight
of soldiers with fixed bayonets guard
ing the doors. One of the principal po-
lice officials of Koepenick also ap-
peared on the scene and demanded en-
trance, which the soldiers refused,
threatening to shoot him down If he
attempted to pass them. They stated
they had strict orders to exclude all
persons from the building.
When the hero robber heard that the
police superintendent was before the
door he summoned him and told him
he required assistance.
The superintendent, like all others,
was completely duped, stood all atten-
tion and, after receiving the captains
orders, proceeded to execute them.
Forty years ago a mad officer Or
dered the men of his compony to swim
across a swollen torrent in their full
equipment.
The men obeyed without hesitation
and were praised for their obedience.
One of the most amusing incidents of
the famous day of Koepenick" was
the "captain's" conversation with the
landlord and his wife in whose inn he
whiled away the morning hours, wait
ing for the ten guardsmen. After in
dulging in talk on commonplace sub
jects the captain" turned the conVer-
sation into pathological channels. He
said he was a great admirer of Low
German, that he had read extensively
In this dialect and asserted his opin-
ion that had not Luther selected High
German as the language for his trans
lation of the German Bible all Germany
today would speak Platt Deutsch.

PRINCESS TO BE A NUN;
REARED WITH THAT IDEA
speoial cable to INC Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald.
NUREMBERG, Nov. 10-It has been
finally decided that the Princess Mon
lea Pia, the baby daughter of the
Countess Montignoso, former wife of
the king of Saxony, will not be brought
to the Saxon court. The princess is to
be brought UP in an old Bavarian
Catholic family which stands in near
relationship to the Dresden court. She
is to be trained in the strictest possible
manner, and is to take the veil as a
nun as soon as is practicable.
The Fraenkischer Kurier, comment
ing on this intelligence, says: This
step is nothing more nor less than a
brutal piece of cruelty. 1t is shame
full injustice to make this child pay
the penalty of the mothers fault by
running her whole life. The Countess
Montignoso will have the nations en-
tire sympathy if she fights with every
means in her power to preserve the
childs natural right to choose it's man
ner of life when the proper time shall
have arrived"

Special Cable to The Herald.
BUDAPEST, Nov. 1O.-Count Eugen-
ichy, prominent deputy, great traveller
and millionaire, declares that he has
been wrongfully confined for six weeks
in lunatic asylum.
He says that last June, while shooting
he had sunstroke and fell from his
horse. For four days he remained un-
conscious, and when he recovered was
tricked into entering private asylum.

prevented from leaving the place, and
letters written to friends were not de-
livered. Permission to see his son was
refused, and the count says that dur
ing the whole time it required all his
strength of mind to prevent himself
becoming mad.
Finally the president of the lower
Hungarian chamber paid him a visit
and secured his liberation, when the
doctors declared him sane.
The matter was raised by, Deputy
Igron at a sitting of parliament, and
the standing committee who watch
over the immunity of members was di-
rected to make inquiries.

PLOT TO ASSASSlNATE
RUSSIA'S DOWAGER EMPRESS

COPENHAGEN, Nov. 10.-Thrse
Russian anarchists, who were under
the surveillance of the international
police, arrived here last week to carry
out a plot to assassinate the dowager
empress of Russia. Before they ar
rived the Danish secret police received
telegraphic information from st. Pet
ersburg, and Russian detectives went
on board the anarchists steamer and
inquired the object OF the mems visit.
This polite reception surprised the
anarchists, but their establishment was
increased when the detectives told
them what their business was. The
anarchists were then told that If they
landed they would be arrested and
sent back TO Russia under special es-
cort. If they preferred to return at
once they were at liberty TO do so. and
to inform their comrades that nothing
could be done at Copenhagen.
When one OF the Russian detectives
was asked why they had treated the
anarchists In this courteous way he re-
piled that the retired English detec-
tive, Inspector Melville. when he was
In attendance ON King Edward, al
ways adopted these methods with an
archists. The latter were so aston
ished that as a rule. they abandoned
forever the plots which were thus
foiled.

GEORGETOWN, British Guiana,
Nov. 10.-C. w. Anderson and H. P. c.
Melville, two officers of the department
of lands and mines sent out by the gov
ernment of British Guiana, have made
some interesting discoveries in the
country mapped out by the award of the
king of Italy in the British Guiana
Brazil boundary dispute two years ago.
At the village of Kamaiwawong they
found jeremiah, a great chief, a char
acter whose delight 1t is to teach his
people the alphabet and preach to them
in fine thatched church which he has
built. Two of his sons were with the
expedition, and these. with fine for
getfulness of fiilial propriety sent for
the "old man."
He duly appeared, attired in gar
ment which at a considerable distance
wore the aspect of a Roman toga, but
on nearer inspection proved to be an
ancient macintosh. This was his robe
of state, put on in honor of the white
men. His conversation, however, turned
out to be confined to the words Morn
ing, morning" and a recitation of the
letters of the alphabet.
1t was noted by the travellers as a
curious circumstance that the Kaboura
flies ceased their attentions almost
exactly at p. M; but as the sand flies
came on the scene at and the mos
quitoes at nightfall they always had
plenty to occupy their attention.
A most curious luminous centipede
was discovered in the forest country.
The animal, which was two or three
inches long, bore a red light in its head,
and a series of eleven to twelve white
phosphorescent spots along its body, one
IN each segment Five or sly Snepi-
mems were secured, but were badly
knocked about in travelling. They are
now being examined and restored as
far as possible.
Another sight was the great Kaie-
teur falls on the Potaro river, which
were visited by the expedition on the
way to Yakontipu. The Kaieteur,
where the Potaro river falls over a
sheer preclpice TAI feet high Cthe

THINK ALLEGED SUICIDE
HAS MERELY RUN AWAY
Special cable to me Herald.

w
MILAN, Nov. 10.-Some days ago the
Italian newspapers said that the
Countess Paolina Barni Corrado of
Bergamo, aged 43, wife to Count Carlo,
and mother of five sons, committed sui
side by throwing herself from the rail-
way bridge near Paderno into the River
AIDA, a height of more than 25O feet.
The corpse of the countess has not yet
been found, and people say that she did
not commit suicide. but escaped from
her family Some think she has retired
to monastery. The Countess Barni,
before disappearing lived at the Villa
Delizia, near Bergamo. Here her
daughters are always waiting the re-
turn of their mother as they do not
believe she was guilty of suicide. A
patrician family accused the countess
lately of misconduct against her daugh-
ters, but this is not believed to be the
cause of her suicide. Before disappear-
ing the countess borrowed $500, and she
also carried away some family Jewels,
so that her suicide is inexplicable.

A Lesson From Mississippi.

We note in the press reports Of the
latest Mississippi race war" the intro
duction Of a new and very interesting
style of narrative. Hitherto, almost
without exception, the person at the
Southern end Of the wire has seen fit to
refer to the rioters and lynchers as prom
inent citizens and we can say with a
perfectly clear conscience that while we
have frequently if not always dismissed
his accuracy to the limbo Of contempt,
we have never doubted the frugal and
far seeing quality of his wisdom. The
telegraph operators who expect to live
in the lynching districts for any great
length Of time are well advised when they
pay homage TO the cutthroat class.
In this case of Scooba, however, we
are told over tho wires that the mur-
dering mob was composed OF toughs
and rowdies and not Of prominent and
influential citizens. The disclosure is
entitled to respectful consideration--not
because it introduces us to a new con-
dition, but because it constitutes the van
guard Of a new and much needed era Of
truth telling.
The fact is that what u press reports
have Just disclosed rs to the character OF
tho Kemper county infemies of last week
might have been said with equal justice
and propriety Of nine-tenths of the
lynchings, butcheries and prosecutions
that have occurred at the South during
the last forty years. Southern gentlemen
do not hang, shoot and burn negroes,
or even give such horrors their con-
donation. On the contrary, rs Southern
ers all know, they deplore these abomina-
tons as sincerely as any philanthropist
in this part of the country could pos
sibly deplOre them. And we may add
that if all the so-called race wars" of the
past had been treated in the press reports
as conscientiously and intelligently rs
the Scooba affair, the mischievous mis-
conceptions which now prevail IN this
side OF Mason and Dixon's line would
never have found Judgment in any hon.
est and enlightened mind.
Northern men who 60 South TO make
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1906-12-30

their homes and engage in legitimate
pursuits soon reach a perfect under
standing Of the situation. Northern men
who stay at home and hug to their breasts
the sentimental ~postulates OF clustered
doctrinaires are as far from that under
standing as Mr.. PEARY is from a true
conception Of the North Pole and its
proper place in the equation Of human
knowledge.
Whether we owe this revelation to
Governor VARDAMAN may not be alleged
with confidence. There is, however, a
certain significance in the fact that he
went at once to the scene Of the riots,
that disorder subsidized coincidentally, and
that we now have for the first time a
faithful and accurate description Of the
rufians who inspire and conduct race
wars By the same token, as we see
the matter it should not be difficult to
differentiate the decency OF the South
from its scum and refuse.
There Is a lesson in this incident II we
