BERLIN FAMILY IN FRENZY,
Occurrence in Effort in
Exercising Alleged Devil.

BERLIN, March 3O-An extraordinary
occurrence which took place in Berlin re-
Gently has again aroused the general public
against Gesundbetor, the German equiva-
Tents of the peculiar people. A fearful din
in the fiat of Chief Paymaster Sagawe of
the Sd Regiment of the Foot Guards, which
is situated in the Reichenberger Strasse. at
tracted a large concCurse of neighbC RS,
who after some trouble discovered that his
family were employed in exercising devil
which they believed had taken possession
of him.
The persons so engaged were his wife
and two sons and two daughters the
youngest of whom was sixteen years Of
age. They were apparently seeking to de-
stroy the demon oy hurting furniture at 1t
after having successfully chased it out Of
the body Of the unfortunate paymaster by
beating him till he was within an inch of
his life. With some difficulty Paymaster
Sagawe was rescued from his awkward
predicament, but the frenzied family sue
ceeded in locking the door of the fiat. and
then threatened to throw themselves down
into the street. The fire brigade was sum-
moned in haste and spread out a life-saving
sheet over the pavement to catch them If
they should fall.
Just at this point, however. the door was
broken in and the demented family were
secured and removed to an asylum.
1t appears that Paymaster Sagawe had
been seriously i'll and his wife had taken
1t much to heart. After vainly trying to
discover an effcacious cure for him she
got into connection with the faith healers
and fell completely under their influence
She also induced her children to join the
sect, and in the case of all five religious
mania Of very acute type would seem to
have developed itself simultaneously. Pay
master Savage Is seriously injured and
his home is literally broken to pieces as a
result of the family's devil hunt.

ART GIFT TO GLASGOW
STRIKING CHARACTERISTICS OF
LORD RosEBERY RECALLED.
Special Cablegram to The Star.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
GLASGOW, March 30.-Lord Rosebery
has presented to the Glasgow corporation
for the art collections of the city an impor-
tant historical study under the title, Ma
poleon-the Last Phase" by the venerap pie
royal academician. Mr.. James SAINT. 1t is
powerfully realized head of the great
emperor obviously in his last days at ST.
Helena, and the work was no doubt sug
gested to the artist by Lord Roseberys
well-known monograph. The picture was
exhibited in the Royal Academy exhibit
ton in 1901, where it attracted marked at
tention. 1t was also on view at the st.
Louis exhibition of 1905.
Lord Rosebery mas the happy histrionic
art of surprising the public on the outlook
for new sensation by significant speech
or even sometimes still more significant 81
<lence. He has surprised even his Scottish
admirers, or those of his following at least
who believe that he is to hold forth when
his health permits upon the subject of Lon
don politics The president of the liberal
league has been detached, or has detached
himself, from active politics for year. and
the report that he is contemplating move
ment of this sort comes with the force of a
complete surprise.
But a Scottish weekly paper calls atten-
ton to the fact that there is grim irony in
the candidature of Lord Rosebery for the
CHARACTERISTIC Of the University of Ok
ford on the grounds alone of high scholastic
achievement without reference to political
considerations. Would 1t be believed, the
Scotch newspaper asks, that Lord Rosebery
was offered by the late dean of Christ
Church, DR.. Liddell one of the editors of
the famous Liddell or Scott Greek lexicon.
his choice of leaving oxford or of giving
UP, owing to its demoralizing effect
on his undergraduate FELLOWSHIP
dents, his racing stable? Lord Rosebery
then had a horse called Ladas. the name
sake of his horse which a generation later
won the derby, and he had no hesitation In
making the election of leaving Oxford
without degree rather than of giving up,
even for short time, the turf.
1t is recalled in this connection that OK
ford has, from the foundation of the uni
versfty down to the present time, been
famous for its maladroit choice of chan
cellors. To give an illustration when the
Duke of wellington. who was unable to
write an ordinary letter without large
percentage of misspelied words. was made
chancellor of the University of Oxford DR..
Whateley, the Protestant archbishop of
Dublin, who was in his early day, an Ok
ford don, gravely waited on the prime min
lister of the day and asked for the command
of cavalry regiment He justified his
application by the statement that he was
at least as competent for the position for
which he applied as the Duke of Wellington
was for the position of chancellor of Ok

The men were loud in their praises of the
good under secretary of state who went
so thoroughly into the matter of their crea-

after another began to miss watches, money
and other things of small size which the
sham under secretary had distracted as he
