In forest near Rorschach on the

cutters found famished girl and assisted
her down TO the valley. In bad German
she explained that she belonged to
gypsy tribe which had recently driven
her away for possessing the EVIL eye"

turn. She has only one eye. the sight of
the other having been lost I'm an acct

but called herself Nina.
The girl appears to have endured many
hardships. but it will be very difficult to
lind her parents. who have driven her
from home. as there are many bands of
gypsies at this part of the frontier trying

ly repulsed by the Swiss gendarmes.
When she has recovered and Is in bet

over to the Austrian authorities. 1t is an

EXPENSES OF HIGH ROLLER.
Trial Reveals That New Life in Ber-
lin Is Expensive.
n Correspondence of The Star.


BERLIN, January II, 1913.
Fashionable life in Berlin was anus
ingly illustrated in the police court the
other day in the course of the interroga-
ton Of a man who is being tried on a
charge Of fraud, together with fifteen
associates. The man. Sattler by name, is
accused Of having managed a bank with
the flighty name of Mercury" much
more to his own profit than to that of
his customers. Altogether the trial was
rather weighty matter. for documents
put in by the prosecution form a book
of 5000 pages.
AS in most of such cases there was
much evidence, and the argument was ex-
tremely technical, SO that the glad sur
prise of those less directly concerned can
be imagined when suddenly the inter-
rogatory developed into lesson on how
mucIl to spend on clothes if one wishes to
cut a figure in the Vanity Fair of Ber
lin.
The questions glided swiftly from bank
ers' bills to those Of the tailor. Sattler ad-
mitted that he ordered twenty-five suits
in the course of six months at one of the
dearest tailors in Berlin, and altogether
twenty-five during this period, with
total cost OF $625 In sixteen months
twenty-One pairs of boots were bought,
stockings at $3.50 a pair and shirts at
SO each. So being frequently spent on a
suit of underwear. Sattler also bought
walking stick with a handle set
with thirty-twO diamonds. at cost
of $3.50. Although he rented three houses
at a total Of $4,000. Sattler frequently
stayed at a hotel. paying 500 a week
for a room alone. In twenty months he
spent a total Of So, 800, including fines
amounting to $4,000 for driving motor
cars at excessive speed.
The whole case was q remarkable IL
lustration OF the newer life Of Berlin
which has now nothing to learn from
Paris or New York in the matter of high
rolling.

COED COLLEGE IN SIBERIA.
First Russian Institution to Open
Doors to Woman Students.
of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence of The Star.
ST. PETERSBURG, January 10, 1913.
The University of Tomsk, in Siberia,
is to be the first Russian university to
open its doors to woman students The
present accommodation is but half &C.
cupied. and as the country is highly de-
ficient in medical skill it is thought that
there is here good excuse fr granting
degrees in medicine to women. The per-
mission is based on purely material
grounds. and should not be taken as any
indication of a coming change in the
policy of the Russian educational estab-
lishments. Moreover, the university of
Tomsk is to be open only to women of
Siberian birth.
In Russia proper the universities still
exclude women. and although there are
technical schools in St Petersburg and
Moscow no degrees are given. The ex-
ceptiOns made in several cases five or six
years ago on the ground that nothing in
the statutes forbade the reception Of
woman students have since been specifi-
cally condemned by the authorities.

good deal of evidence against the posi-
bility Of the drunken, illiterate clown of

Is Court Opera House.

PrimariaIy the matter has to do with
the court as, in accordance with the
time-honOred custom which makes the
rulers of the land the providers of amuse-
ments as we'll as of laws, this is a court
opera house. The interest of the inhabi-
tants is no less on this account. however.
The building is to occupy new site, and
this is enough to interest the whole OF
the city. for no other capital can show
such widespread interest in the altera-
tons and improvements to the appear
ance of it's streets and thoroughfares.
The choice of site has been one of the
thOrniest problems At first it was
thought to be quite settled that the new
building was to be built on the site of the
present so-called New Royal Opera
House, a shabby old building that is gen.
orally let to travelling companies, stand
ing on the edge of the Tiergarten. and
not far from the reichstag. The plan was
to make a monumental square with one
side open. and the other three occupied
by the opera house and by government
buildings.
AS the land was owned by the state.
there seemed no difficulty in the way.
There have however been many cross
currents and much campaigning in favor
of other sites. Only one of these has had
any popular approval. This is the corner
of the Tiergarten near Potsdamerplatz

VIENNA, January &c. 1913.
Though Vienna has been surpassed by
Berlin during the last twenty years in
population and wealth. in the extent of
it's so-called restaurant life and in the
number of theaters, the old imperial cap
ital on the Danube still maintains it's
reputation as the most musical city in
the world. Its opera is the most artistic.
it's orchestras and choral societies are
the finest and the public here is at once
the most musical and the most critical.
1t is consequently of interest to know
what music is most played here, where
only the best is popular.
Statistics of Performances.
The following statistics give the num-

| 1t will be seen that Beethoven heads
the list in orchestral and chamber music
and violin solos, and comes second in
cello. Brahms songs are the most pop

far behind.
