An extraordinary example or parental discipline has come to light at village near Debrecin. wealthy landowner named Weissenborn, a rigid disciplinari- an. sent his youngest son Hans a deli cate lad of seventeen, to a private school where he received music lessons from a very attractive governess, Irene Werner.
 The latter appeared to take a fancy to the boy, who frequently accompanied her on country rambles. After time Frau lein Werner wrote to Herr Weissenborn that she was about to become a mother and that Hans was the father of the child.
 The landowner furious, hastened to the school asked his son no questions. listened to no explanations, but as an "act of discipline" insisted upon the youth immediately marrying the govern ess.
 This the lad was nothing 10th to do. After the wedding old Wefssenborn told the wife that she had made her bed and would have to lie on it. As an act of discipline he would allow the newly mar ried couple but 400 marks a year.
 In vain did the music teacher weep and implore forgiveness. few weeks later young Weissenborn returned home with the news that his wife had gone off to live with Herr Hanckel, his former dancing master, who was really the father of the child.
 He himself had been absolutely fnno- cent of wrongdoing, and in marrying the girl had only obeyeu his fathers orders. Now Herr Wessenborn declares that the music mistress is a swindler. she married into his family under false pretenses and hoped to extort money-but the law will help him.
 Dispatches from Vienna report that the
 f, tIxr n the health of old Emperor Francis Jos eph, and that he will probably have to go to some mountain health resort as soon as the trip can be safely under taken.
 Several times the thermometer has passed the 100 degree mark and scores of deaths have taken place. In one pub lie school 16 girls collapsed In one day and had to be taken away in ambu- lances. The other day five policemen tainted on their posts, and two of them have since died
 A sentry on duty outside the palace of Archduchess Josepha was overcome by sunstroke and was revived by the Arch duchess herself. Curiously enough, a similar incident happened at the royal castle at Budapest, where the Archduch- ess Augusta sprinkled water on sentry who collapsed as she was passing.
  Der of crimes committed by people driv- en insane. In Vienna a woman shot her three children and attempted to commit suicide, and at Saragres, in Hungary, a peasant named Bro stabbed his wife. shot his four children and then hanged himself.
 Rather than give up her art, beautiful Lily Goerbe, whose death all Budapest is mourning, committed suicide.
 Although only 25 years old, she had become one of the favorte players at the Royal Hungarian Theatre
 A few nights ago she fell In a dead faint on the stage, and a doctor who was summoned declared that she was suffering from acute heart disease, and that unless she gave up the strenuous life she was leading she might die at any moment.
 The girl was greatly affected, and. af- ter spending "A hours locked in her room, she shot herself with a revolver. Be- side her body was found letter, in which she declared that she would ra- ther die at once than give up her pro- fession.
