Card Playing Taught in Boarding
Schools.


Card playing has become so general
among German women of the upper
classes that regular lessons in playing
are now given in all fashionable
boarding schools for girls.
The education of German girl is
not considered complete unless she
has acquired the knowledge how to
take a hand at bridge, ecarte, or one
Of the other games now in vogue.
Gambling has increased to an alarm
ing extent. Many households, not con-
tent with the elements of chance in
card playing, have introduced minia-
ture roulettes and other Monte Carlo
games into their drawing rooms, and
the stakes are high.

PRIEST
MURDERED
DEAD BODY FOUND IN
IN NEW YORK CITY.
TWO GREEKS ARE SAID TO HAVE
COMMITTED CRIME
FOR MONEY.

New York, May 27.-Rev. Father
Kaspar of the Armchair Apostolic
church of Hoboken, N. j., was muir
dered in this city some time last week.
The body was found in trunk
which had been left for security for
their room rent by two Greeks, who
three weeks ago rented a room from
Mrs. Henry Sherrer. who occupied the
third floor Of tenement at 1913 West
Thirty-seventh street.
When last Wednesday the rent was
not forthcoming her dodgers told Mrs.
Sherrer that she was amply secured by
their well-flled trunk. The following
morning the men disappeared, and
today the trunk was broken open. To
the horror of Mrs. Sherrer it was found
to contain the badly decomposed body
of a man. The body was in kneeling
position, with the head bound against
the knees by heavy strap that passed
over the back of the neck and was
buckled under the shins. The muir.
dered man was about 60 years of age
and was about 5 feet inches in
height. A flowing beard IL inches
long was streaked with gray, but the
long and bushy hair was black. An
undershirt of balbriggan and cuff on
the right wrist were all the body wore
but on top of it had been thrown three
coats Of clerical cut, "a white laun
dered shirt, two pairs of black lace
shoes, soft felt hat, two collars and
detached cuff.
Because of the condition Of the body
| it was not possible to determine the
manner of death. Following an au
topsy at the morgue two men were ar
rested on suspicion. Mrs. Sherrer tolt
the coroner's jury that when the two
men engaged the room in her home
| they described themselves as John ant
Paul Sarkie, each about 35 years o.
| age. John was dark and smooth
shaver, and the man said he had con
Quoted restaurant in the tenderloin
| The other wore a mustache. The mer
had been visited, she said, by mar
wearing a clerical garb, who looked
not unlike the murdered man. Sht
thought that this man called at
o'clock Wednesday evening. No one
heard any unusual noises that day.
After removal to the morgue the
body was identified as that of the
priest. He had lived at COS Monster!
street, West Hoboken, and frequentl.
made trips to this city soliciting funds
for his church.
Father Kaspar, carrying small
leather bag in which his collection
were placed, came to be a familia
figure in Greek and Armenian cir
cles here, and it is believed that HI
was murdered for the money he car
ried The autopsy revealed that thu
priest had probably been drugged ant
placed, while still alive, in the trunk
there to be suffocated to death. Thu
neck and one arm had been broken
but apparently these injuries had no
been the cause of death. Thrown upol
the body was the priests clothing.
The coroner's physician said that tn
man had probably been dead six o
seven days. The contents of tn
stomach will be examined to deter
mine whether some drug was used.

Mrs. Lenora Bodenhamer, R. F. D. ],
Box 80, Kernersville, N. c., writes:
II suffered with stomach trouble and
indigestion for some time, and nothing
that ate agreed with me. I was very
nervous and experienced a continual
feeling of unessiness and fear. I took
medicine from the doctor, but it did me
no good.
II found in one of your Peruna books
a description of my symptoms. then
wrote to DR.. Hartman for advice. He
said 1 had catarrh of the stomach. I
took Peruna and Manalin and followed
his directions and can now gay that I
feel as we'll as I ever did.
"Ihope that all who are afflicted with
the same symptoms will take Peruna,
as it has certainly cured me-"
The above is only one of hundreds
who have written similar letters to DR..
Hartman. Just one such case as this en-
titles Peruna to the candid consideration
of every one similarly afflicted. If this
be true of thetestimony of one person,
what ought to be the testimony of
hundreds, yes thousands, of honest, sim
cere people. We have in cur files a
