PAY OF AUSTRIAN ARMY OFFICER.
RE Must Have Independent Means if
He Would Marry.

llS WOGiA "ait ,
In the Austro- Hungarian army bud
get for 1903 there will be included
sum Of nearly 100000 for increasing
the scale of pay of the officers. 81 per-
cent of which will be appropriated for
the benefit of lieutenants and cap
tains. The Austrian officer, especial
ly of the lower ranks, is very poorly
paid, his colleagues in France, Ger
many and even Italy being much bet
ter off in this respect In Austria the
cadets usually enter the army at about
the age of twenty, and as lieutenants
receive the annual pay of G70. They
remain at this figure for six or seven
years, when they are advanced to &85
the highest rate for lieutenants.
BY the time the officer reaches the
rank of captain he is generally 81 or
38 years old. AS a captain Of the
second class he receives just 500
a year, rising to G125 when he is pro.
NOTED to the first class. A captain
he probably remains for ten or twelve
years, and here, at the age of so or
so, many officers end their military
careers and retire upon pensions cal
culated upon this very moderate rate
of pay.
Even in the higher ranks the Aus
trian officers pay compares very I'M
fayorably with that in other countries
A major receives e167 year, a
neut-colonel, in two classes, e225 and
$3.50, a colonel $500 and a major
general e475.
With such low scale of pay it is
small wonder that the Austrian officer
is not permitted to marry unless he
or his bride have Independent means
and can deposit the necessary eau
ton money with the government, the
amount varying according to the rank
of the prospective bridegroom.-Vie

Lincon Nebraska January 10, 1907

was awakened by the shot that killed
Lille. She arose in bed only to face
a revolver in the hands of man
standing by the bedside, She rolled
out of the rear of the bed just in time
to escape bullet that whistled over
her head and out of the window. She
said the man had taken $500 out of a
bureau drawer and ran away. Lille
had pair of bloodhounds, but these
were found poisoned in the barn. Dogs
were taken from Lincoln, and they
followed a trail to some campers wag-
ons, but this line of investigation was
dropped when authorities concluded
that Mrs. Lille was guilty.
The theory of the state was that
Mrs. Lille had killed her husband as
he lay in bed, and had then turned
and shot out of the window AS mo-
tive for the deed it was asserted that
she had been gambling on the board
of trade with money she earned as
the fashionable dressmaker of the
city, and had killed her husband to
get the $4,000 life insurance he car
ried. They eontended that the posi-
ton of the body showed the shot had
come from her side of the bed, and
that all of the circumstances contra
dicted her story, and left her as the
only one who could have committed
the deed. Mrs. Lille did not take the
stand in her own defense, as she says
on advice of her attorney who thought
there was not enough evidence to con-
vict her.
Since Mrs Lille has been in the
penitentiary she has been visited by a
large number of Lincoln women who
invariably came away with their SYM
pathies aroused for the prisoner. Most
of these were too unfamiliar with the
testimony at the trial to have a log
ical reason for believing in her inno-
cence, but her refinement and attrac-
tive personality made them feel that
she could not possibly have committed
a murder. Mrs Lille is said to be
an expert seamstress and has made
waists and other garments for num-
ber of Lincoln women and this work
has brought her into more general
contact with strangers than Is usual
with a prisoner. One of the most fire.
qnent of these visitors was member
of the state house family and an inti-
mate friend of Mrs. Mickey, which
may account to some degree for the
great interest in the case aroused in

gathered around Mrs. Lille and all
shed tears of joy The women con
graduated Mrs. Lille and said they

was the capital of Galilee in the
time of Christ, yet there is no re-

was preaching to the Jews, and
there were no Jews in Tiberias.
The Jews would not live there
because the city was built on a
cemetery. They were either
afraid that contact with graves
would defile them or were afraid
of ghosts. As Herod could not
induce Jews to live in it, he had
to people his capital with pagans,
slaves, toughs and beggars. Per.
