COMEDY IN THE DRUG STORE.
Serious Place Usually, But Funny
Things Happen Occasionally.

mo, I can't say that we have q
large number of comic incidents hap
pening here daily" said the drug
clerk. "As a matter OF fact, the drug
business is inclined rather to the Sc
rious side Of things naturally, but we
do have funny things happen occa-
sionally, like this morning, when a
little girl came in with prescription
that she said she wanted put up in
hatsules.
Hatsules?' l says, sort Of puzzled
like, because for the moment didn't
fall to what the little girl meant.
eyes, sir, hatsules, she says, just
like that, and then it began to perco-
late through my brain just what the
little girl did mean, and says to her
then:
"'I guess you mean capsules, don't
your and she says:
Why, of course do. Hatsules!'
she said, and laughed right out as she
said it. or course l mean capsulesl
How could ever get it twisted up
like that?'
"And so we put the medicine up in
capsules and the little girl took 1t
and carried it away.
And really that wasn't the most
comic thing that ever happened in the
world; but. as was saying, you don't
exactly expect to have funny things
happen In a drug store, and so that
call for hatsules kept us cheerful here
for three-quarters Of an hour. New

More duels are fought in Germany
than in any other country, and Jena
and Gottingen are the cities which
take the lead It is said that duel
takes place in Gottingen every day,
and on one occasion some years ago
IL combats took place in the "a hours.
Jena's greatest number for the day is
21. The German empire has about
1000 duels year; France has about
1000 combats, which may be regarded
as such; Italy runs to about 270 per
annum. In ten years it boasted 2,759
meetings, of which 974 originated in
newspaper articles or public letters.
The great majority Of the duels were
fought with swords; only one with re-
volvers.

Prosecutor berdine Look |
ing Into Vanderbilt Death.
Believe Fatality al Princeton
Was Not an Accident.
Body May Be Exhumed and an
Autopsy Performed.

Princeton, n. j., May 29.-Develop-
ments of the last few days have led
Prosecutor George Berdine to suspect
that the death of Miss Bertha Wander
bit, an assistant librarian of the
Princeton University library, was not
the result of an accident and Mr. Ber-
dine has begun an investigation. Miss
Vanderbilt was the daughter of a jew
eler of Amsterdam, N. Y, and her
body was taken to that city for bur-
ial.
Mr. Berdine is said to be of the opin-
ion that the county physician and
coroner who allowed the body to be
buried, acted too hastily and may de-
mand that it be exhumed for an au-
tcpsy to determine the cause of Miss
Vanderbilt's death. Mr.. Berdine may
ask for an order Of the supreme court
permitting an autopsy. Detective
Frank Hoffman has been assigned to
investigate the case for the prosecutor,
beginning at point where the coro-
ner's inquiry ended.
Miss Vanderbilt was last seen alive
May - and her body was found five
days later in the Raritan canal some
distance from Princeton village. There
We're bruises on the face and head
but it was believed that these were
due to an accidental fall into the wa
ter. No autopsy was held and the IA
Their of the young woman was quoted
as saying that he was satisfied that
her death was accidental.
Just what has prompted Mr.. Ber-
dine to reopen the case has not been
made public. 1t is said. however, that
Miss Nanderbilt's conduct on the af-
ternoon Of her death indicated that she
had an appointment with someone in
the vicinity of the place where her
body was found and in addition to
this there is nothing but theory to
explain how her body got into the ca
nal.
New Prunswick N. j., May 29.-After
consideration today of all the facts bear
ing upon the death of Miss Bertha VAN
derbilt, assistant librarian of Princeton
University library, who was found
drowned in the Raritan canal, Prosecutor
Berdine of Middesex county announced
tonight that further investigation of
the case would be unavailing because the
evidence did not seem to indicate murder.
