SUPERINTENDENT MUST DIE
Convicted ofKuIing Sarah Q. Bry.
mer, In MilIbro0k, n. Y.
Young Wife Carried q Bottle OF
Poison, to Be Taken in Case OF
Conviction Of Husband.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y.-The Jury re-
turned a verdict OF guilty of murder
In the first degree in the case OF
Frank Schermerhorn, the coachman
on trial for the murder of Sarah O.
Brymer, a nurse in the family of
Barnes Compton, at Millbrook. The
jury went twice into court for instruc-
tions. The first time they asked to
have the law defining first and second
degrees read to them, and Justice
Morschauser complied with their re-
quest.
The second time they asked for
photographs used in the case and the
cords with which Miss Erymer's wrists
were bound, and these exhibits were
given to them.
While Justice Morschauser was
charging the jury the young wife OF
Schermerhorn, who had been by her
husbands side throughout, tainted.
She was carried into an anteroOm.
where Under Sheriff Hernbeck took a
bottle of laudanum from her shop
ping bag. She said that it was her in
tention to take the drug in the event
of her husbands conviction. The Of
icers think that she intended to give
the bottle to Schermerhorn if con-
victed.
Schermerhorn was Immediately
sentenced by Judge Morschauser to be
put to death in Sing Sing Prison the
week of August 8.
It developed during the trial that
Schermerhorn before entering the
governess' room the morning of the
crime had blackened his face to hide
his identity. The oma had been
assaulted and ~strangled to death.
The day following the murder Scher-
merhorn was arrested in his home on
the Compton place after he had at
tempted suicide by cutting his throat.
He made a confession of the crime
while in the hospital recovering from
his injuries. Schermerhorn IS TWEEN
ty-three years old.

five hundred dollars. Smaller
amounts may be accumulated through

GIRLS WHO HAVE FACULTY.

We need more girls today who have
what they used to call faculty" in the
early days of our country. 1t was a
compliment to a girl to say of her that
she had faculty" What was meant
by that was that she was skilled in all
the domestic arts and was competent
to look after the ways Of the house
hold when she should have one. She
could use her needle with the utmost
skill, and could go into the kitchen and
get UP any kind of meal She was
intelligent in every department of do
nestle work. No matter what a girls
position in life may be she should have
this information.
So it is that we want more girls who
have faculty" 1t is of more impor-
lance than knowledge Of many other
things on which girls are spending
their time. A girl may have the adj
vantage of the highest culture and at
the same time be well versed in all the
domestic arts.
The happiness of a home often de-
ponds more on domestic than on any
other kind of art. Now and then we
hear of girls who have finished their
education" when the fact is they do
not know the A b c Of good many
things imperatively necessary TO the
complete education of a girl. a diplo
ma from the kitchen and the sewing
room would be a good one to hang be-
side a diploma from the college.

81. BRIDGET OF SWEDEN.

st. Bridget of Sweden is best known
To- the generality by her revelations
not that these are much read, but they
are frequently referred to and quoted
I'm devotional and other books. Her
still greater reputation, however, is
that Of being founder of the Brigettine
order. both of men and women, who
originally lived according to the dou-
ble-monastery system. The mems order
has died out long ago, but the order
of nuns still survives. The curious
thing is that though st. Bridget was
the real and effectual founder of this
order she never wore the habit her
self. but died a Franciscan tertiary in
Rome, after years spent there, far
from the scene of the foundation. She
was. in fact, throughput her life a
woman in the world, but not of it. She
was moreover, a married woman, and
the mother Of eight children; one,
Catherine. was canonized.

they are the men who carried the light

served the arts, and the science, and
the literature Of Greece and Rome

northern barbarians and transmitted
them down through the ages to US;

make worthy subjects for the artists

seph, in 'Richlieu,' the creation of Bull
wer Lytt0n's prepudiced mind, is
specimen of this sort. Even Wagner's
opera of 'Tannhauser' is marred by
the same defect, the profession of
monks in the Pilgrims Chorus resem-
ping nothing so much as a motley
band of dissipated outlaws. This,
however, is the fault of the stage man
ager rather than of the composer. The
erect on the audience, either in play
or opera, is not in favor of the monk.
These abuses have held sway too long.
