At his own cinarters in Berlin , Count von

family. lie was also congratulated by scores
of friends. hharon von Sc&iraders & wound

Iceep his worth.
The scandals which gave rlre to this rerles
of ihilels began nearly five years ago , when
high cOtirt personages , male and telltale , old
and yoiiiig , began receiving antnyinous letters
or postal cards , calling their attention to thia
or that epI'ode UIOfl their own part , or upon
tim part of relatives or friond9. As a result ,
wives became separated front their husbands
and fathers and mothers discarded their
children , Nearly everyoc1y nr Importance
being smirched incre Or iea by the VulOnt of
: the OIIOUYIIIOUS writer , who s'as cvldciitiy a
person thoroughly familiar with all the do-
taik , of court life , people began to look
askance at their best friends. Every effort
poiblo was lOathe by the police to discover
the guilty party. HIlt in splte of this tile
OflOllYlflOUH tormentor was able to continue
the cruel work for about four years. The
general opinion was that the evil communt-
cation wore the work of a woman , hut
t/\ gradually this ohintcn changed and for seine
: atinexpiahlled rearon suspicion fastened Ita'eif
ilpoll Count von Kotze , one of the court
chautberlains , a popular Than , veii liked by
the emperor and trusted by all his friends.
Flnaiiy a volunteer spy denounced hint to the
court authorities on the growu } that on the
b1ottiig paper pad of a letter pad used by
tli count lie had found a clear reproduction
of one of the anonymous communications , a
poetal card , Thereupon Von Kotzo was arrested -
rested and confined In the fortresr. Upon
trial he was acquitted of the chiarg s brought
against him.
CHANGF OF SENTIMENT.
While Von Kotze was in prison , the tide
of sympathy turned decidedly in his dlrec.
tion. Ugly whisperings were heard on all
aides , his arrest was openly denounced
as an outrage , and the names of a
number of very high court personages -
ages referred to , including 1)uke Era-
est Gunther of Schlesisig-hlolteln , the
) brother-la-law of Emperor William of Gor-
canny. In tact , some petBona even bad the
audacity to cast the sidelights of suspicion
upon a higher person thmnhi Duke Gunther ,
though it would seem without Just ground
'br so doing.
When Count von Kotzo was released from
/ prlsoib , he promptly sent out challenges to
about a dozen of those wTioin Ito believed
to have beezi implicated in a plot to ruin
hiimii , In order to save the reputation ot the
hugh personage , whoever lie amy ho , whie is
looked upon as being the real author of the
anonymous comniunlcattons.
Among tue principal persons challenged
worn Iharoit you fleisehach , court marshal to
ox-Emperor Frederick of Germany ; flarom
' von Schrader , mitaster of ceromonie , . , of the
, I'rusaian court ; Prince von Fuerstenborg and
Prince Aribert of t3axe.Aitenburg.
A rumor , never substantiated , also had it.
that Von ICotso had chalienged Duke Ernest
Gunther of Scimlesti ig-hlolstoin , but this has
been ilonied , auth is not believed to be true.
The first of the proposed series of duels
was fought wIth pitohs in the Grunewald ,
early during the niormiimig of April 13 last , between -
tween Count von Kotze nild. Baron von
Roischncbi. The latter lied Insisted upon so-
yore conditions , namely , that shots would be
exchanged uiitll one of the contestants was
so badly wounded as to be unable to continue -
tinue firIng. Sevemi hots vero exchanged ,
with the result that both thu count and the
baron hind more or less severe flesh wounds.
Ilut at the eighth shot Von Kotzo foil with
a bullet in tile loin. Ito was taken to a
itospital , anti for sonic time his life was despaired -
paired of , anti even when the attending physi-
cans iironounced that lie would lire , they
coupled this statement with the remark that
Ito would be crippled for life. . This is prac-
tlcally the cas'e , although the count walks
witln greater ettee thou was expected ,
There was some talk of scathing Count von
] Cotze and his opponent to orison for fighting
the duel , but there was stichi popular sym-
patby for Von JCotze that tue emperor over-
hooked the matter on the count's reported
promnto to give up his plait of lighting the
rest of the series of duels ,

of Giutz , and on July El Ito gave himself up
to tile governor of that place and served his
sentence , but ho was treated with the greatest -
est consideration , and It wa.s reported omt

aitothior duel ,
By this thue Von lCotzo had become quite
a tiopuier hero , and hue enemies felt very
uncomfortable ,

AMUSEMENTS.

There Were rcniinders of Entina Abbott
In the ierformanco lat night of "Lucia" at
the Crelghiton. It was one of the operas
which she was wont to sing here , and al-
with the applause of her following ;
last night some of the people pamg In Eli.
gush , as all her people used to do ; Charles
II. Pratt , who guided the financIal fortunes of
"honest Emma" for many years , is managing -
aging this company ; and her name was cn
the librettos which tite boys , peddled up ard
down the aisles , The Tavary company has
never been hteard iii Omaha before ; it is
the first organization to slag grami opera
hero even nartiy In English ineo the ipi-
sotle of the ill-fathd festival which Max
Maretsek caine on to conduct , three or four
ycars ago. If the performance last nlgltt
was a fair sample of Its capabilities , it deserves -
serves , as a whole , to rank very high among
all the companies which hare coiiie offering
Italian inulc combined with English speech ,
always excepting the National Opera corn-
patty f a decade since.
"Lucia , " as presented last nIght , was a
coittlituous triumph , vocally , for the tenor ,
Guillo. Ills voice is clear , pure , of great
range and under excellent control. So thor-
oughily favorable was the impressIon created
by hIm In this regard that it went far to
counteract his deficiencies of stature and
presence. lIe was eiithiisiasticaliy recalled
after time final curtain , aught have par-
ttclpated in Mine , Tavary'ei hearty call
after the ( luet in the first act , and
was geiterously applauded throughout. Mute.
Tavary took the tlUo role , singing and
acting conscientiously and with fine in-
tehilgence , 11cr roca shows sIgns of wear
dud a neceseity for straining after effects
which were doubtless once attained natualty ;
and withictTt effort. 11cr reception , however ,
was a warm cite , and her gracious manner
captured all hearts. SIgnor Abrarnoft's rich
basi was , hearth to advantage in the music
of flalrnond , and lie was compelled to lepeat
hits admirably rendered descrIptIon of the
tragedy in the brIdal chamber. Ma' Eugene
hay a baritone voice of great volume and
excellent quality , and sang Ashton effect-
tveiy.
"Cavalierla flusticana , " which folowcd : , was
sung On the occasion for the first tinie In
Omaha. It is a fortunate Idea to asoclato
It with a work so typical of the older rchool
of ItalIan composition as "Lucia. " The way
Is long foron Donizettl to Mascagni , and the
contrast betweut the two operas , in structure
and treatment , is suggertive anti full of
'eterost. The later school is as yet too
now to be able to show thie long record of
popularity which the earlier possesses ; and
it is at leat open to question whether
"Cavalleria flustlcana" will be as gratefully
listened to ( or as patiently tolerated ) fIfty
years hence , as "Lucia , " "Travlata" and
"Trovatore" arc now. lIe that as it may ,
Mascagni's brillicet work is a prime favorite
at present , as was abundantly attested last
night. In one oens , Its sItuatIon in the
bill wa.an unfortunate one , for the audience
was tired whers the curtain deeotded upon
the last gasp of Edgardo ; but "Cavallerla
Rurticana" is not a thIng which lets one go
to sleep. Aside front the music , which may
or may not have the qualIty of permanence -
nence , the opera In its short length tells a
fierce and haunting story of jealousy and
revenge. The opportunities for act'sig of an
eniotlonai sort are something extraordinary.
One does not recall , out of a reasonably
long end , mewhat varied list. of memories ,
a more finIshed and powerful performance ,
dramatically considered , than that Madame
Theo Dorro as Santuzza. It was so vivId ,
Co Intense , so full of warm blood that it
made the really excellent work of the others
in the cast seem tame leside it. Ono does
not sa ittuch note her singing , which is
well enough ; but her acting Is of a very
highs order. Madame Romnani aisa dirpiayed
good ahilitic. " in thIs regard , arid an much may
be said of Mr. Scituster as AIflo , and , in a
sornesvhiat lessor degree , of Mr. Stephens In
tue exacting role of Turiddu. All ii alt it
was a performance of absorbing iitterest ,
Tile orchestra , Incluihlng certain of the
Creigliton musicians , did good service
througitout , under the leadership of Signor
Moreahhi , the Imitermezzo In "Cavaileria"
being deservedly encored , The chorus of
collie thIrty volcers , is not precisely a llender-
scml burlesque chorus in point of personal
pulciiritutle , but it. sings heartily and well ,
which , after all , Is what it is for.

whtat I was when I was first taketi Into

I am now , you may begiti to uutderstand.
"I mean , In fact , titat my features are as-
suiming notiling more or less than a pronounced -
nounced satanic cast. That I have become at-
fiicted with that disease , rare bsmt terrible ,
s-itit which physIcIans are acqtuaintetl , but
over whiiclt they seetmi to have no control
whatever , That disease , " says he , "is a
malformation or disortlon of the osseous
parts , causing defortiilty so marked that in
many cases men are made to assume likenesses -
nesses to ( hue Inferior anhiutals. The huorror
of the thing dlii not pall on tne , for it was
quite in keeping With my miature , and lile

I can see , I believe fully that I am growing

what is coiled the degenerate head , anti timat
tile simIlItude is almost completed. In tact ,
so impressed am I with this belief , " contin-
nes Holmes , "that I am convinced that I
have no longer anything human In ate. "
Holmes' confession from this on spcakmt of
ills early experiences of boyhiood days on the
farm up in Vermont and the life ho led untIl
he entered the college to study medicine in
MichIgan. It was not until after ho was
graduated , fully equipped wIth the knowledge
of persons and the easiest way to sever the
simple thread of life , that Holmes began lila
career as a murderer and mnutilator , When
he began , , he admits himself , Ito was ruthless -
less , and nei'er once halted until ito took
twenty-seven lves.
"Anti I woulti hove committed six other
murders , " lie added , "hind not certain occurrences -
currences intervened. "
Possibly one of the worst , most brutal , no-
voiting and disgusting crImes this archt-
mutIlator ever committed was one lie spraks
of in a cimapter devoted to his boy-the son
of his fret wife. The only explanation lie
offers Is ( hint lie did It simply to gratify hiiu
love for mutilation. "it was shortly after
I was married , " lIe declares , "and our boy
was then but a youngster. I called iint
from tue road , where hie was frolicking about
like au innocent , wIth a lot of other lads
and tcok him out to a tear barn. I don't

took a eurgical Italic with me. It t'as
simply the craving of tile murderer within
me , that inspIred me to make a subject of
may little one. " 'VItht the utntost abamtdon ,
anti with here and there an expressed slgb
of regret , Iloimes then tells how hte went
