TRIES TO END HER LIFE.
Countess Refused to Marry Man She
Did Not Love.

Countess Katinka Andrassy, a
lovely girl Of 19 and the belle Of the
Budapest season, is lying in hos
pital there with a bullet wound IN
her side The Countess lives with
her step fater, Count Julius Andras-
sy, who married his deceased broth
er's wife
Relatives had urged the girl to
marry a man she did not love. After
a long resistance she finally gave in,
and the betrothal was about to be
proclaimed. The girl, seeing no hope
of escape, went with her maid and
purchased revolver. She then re-
turned home and shot herself IN the
region of the heart.
Her relatives made great efforts to
keen the affair secret and did not not
ify the authorities, but had the u1l-
conscious girl wrapped in a sheet and
conveyed to a distant hospital in
motor car The physicians have ex-
tracted the bullet, but consider that
til countess condition is critical.

An Cnwise Suggestion.

The suggestion made by some
eminent educators that various Ian
suages should be taught in the public
school, provided that a reasonable
number of parents asked for it, is
mot likely TO find favor.
Apart from the additional cost it
would involve there are other and
greater objections. We need in this
country greater homogenity, not less.
Already. and especially in our large
cities, there are whole colonies OF
various foreign born and foreign
speaking peoples. They retain in
large measure their foreign peculiar
tiles and do not become thoroughly
American in thought, spirit and &C
ton. To have the teaching of mod
err Greek, or Syriac, or Bulgarian
Iand a host Of other languages made
compulsory whenever a certain num-
Der OF parents might demand it,
would but perpetuate the evil.
If parents want children to pre-
serve their mother tongue, we'll and
sood, let them teach it at home.
America is for Americans and its
speech is the English tongue, and
the public school is the place where
The rising generation, whether home
Or foreign born, are to be taught to
become true Americans, and their
common speech the language OF the
country. Of course certain Ian
@uages, like German, French and
Latin. may we'll be taught. because
Of the mental discipline they impart
CT for their literary eXcellences.

MASSACRE HORRORS
THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT is
BEING CRITICISED.
For the Massacre in Fee When
Large Number Of French Citizens
Were Killed or Wounded.

The massacre at FeZ, in which
large number OF French officers, SOL
diers and citizens were killed and
wounded, has given rise to consid-
cradle criticism OF the government
authorities at Paris for not foresee
ing and preventing the occurrence
Premier Poincaire telegraphed Fri
day to Eugene Regnault, the French
minister, to make a complete inves-
tigation. The special correspondents
of the French newspapers at Fee in
dicate that the plot Of the rebels in
cluded the massacre of the whole of
the French mission headed by VI.
Regnault. which recently arrived at
the capital to establish the protector
ate.
This plan failed owing to the impa-
tience of the Arabian women to be-
gin the carnage. These women are
described by the correspondents as
creatures Of terrifying appearance
who rushed about the streets, tor
turing the wounded and sometimes
aiding the Moorish rebels in the final
mutilation and desecration OF the VIC
tins.
Scenes of horror occurred in the
Jewish quarters of the city where the
mob murdered, pillaged and burned
all the Jews they could find, throwing
their bodies from the roofs. Many
young girls were carried off to suffer
out-ages.
The Jewish quarter was set on fire
and three-fourths of it entirely de-
stroyed, rendering over thousand
persons homeless. The complete sto-

rapheds is a narrative Of coolness
and bravery Although they possess

they kept the mob at bay for a con-
siderable time, killing sixteen OF the
fanatics.
All the time one or another OF
them was sending of dispatches to
headquarters at Tangler, telling CT
the plight Of the Europeans. Final
ly, however, the Arabs tore a hole n
tho roof, into which they sent {
murderous hail of bullets and fam

egraph room.
Three of the telegraphers fell dead
and the fourth turned his revolver on
himself reather than fal! living into
the hands of the fanatics. The shot
missed and he was later able to es-
cape from the burning building
