distinguished composer, at the plano.
At the last moment the president
found there was no piano, and in his

The artistic and sensitive Massenet

KING Of SAX0NY IS
NERVOUS WRECK
BY CRITICISM
LETTER WRITER'S UNsRAip RuL.
Err FOR SIGNING DEATH WAR.
RANT OF WOMAN SLAYER
CROWDS VISIT HER GRAVE.

DRESDEN, Jan. ever since the
king Of Saxony signed the death war
rant for Crete Beier. the semi-dement-
ed murderess. he has been the victim
OF letter writer's in all parts If the
world upraiding him tor the alleged
miscarriage Of justice. The aouse
showered on the king first merely
scandalized him. his majesty being a
very self-opinionated person. but the
pers'stency OF popular criticism Is
telling up him, and there arc rumors
In the city that Frederick Augustus
suffers from sleeplessness and Is fast
becoming q nervous Week because
OF the reproaches heapei upon him
from al sides.
There are stories that he IL walk
Ing the corridors OF tho palace at
night, wringing his hands and mutter-
ing to himself. but these reports can
not be verified at present.
The king became enraged when he
learned that the grave of the Dehead-
ed girl is the object Of attention, both
by her own people and strangers
A fine monument has been reared
over the remains Of the beautiful MUIR
deress, and Is constantly decorated by
wreaths and flowers. Last Sunday
thousands OF persons went to the
cemetery for the avowed purpose OF
making a demonstration against the
king and the death penalty. Many Of
the visitors carried wreaths with long,
flowing ribbons, inscribed with vari-
Gus sentences referring to Grete's
trial and her awful death. The throng
around the grave finally became 80
dense that the police interfered and
drove the mourners away with drawn
swords.
Several persons were arrested for
depositing wreaths, the ribbons OF
hich bore words and sentences that
might be construed as lese majestic.
Among the confscated ribbons were
some bearing the inscription: "The
king is more hard-hearted than the
law" ITO the unhappy victim OF u
kings stubbornness and cold-hearted-
ness" ITO the victim OF judicial
murder"
Crete Beier was the talented daugh-
ter Of the mayor Of the city OF Frel-
berg. She was convicted of having
poisoned her fiance after inducing him
TO make n last will In her favor. But
insanity experts maintained that the
girl was irresponsible on account Of
mental deficiencies, view upheld by
the family records Still the king In
sisted upon signing the death warrant
agatnst the advice Of his minister or
Justice.

His native guides gave it some weird

which was neither the native word
for wolf or bear They added that the
creature was very rare in those parts.
