MO rlOW STUDENTS LIVE es s * ssesrSH 'a Fsilt h Lt * * > * R eer et sj tsta Caraeli's , Hew / Meslleal Behaal. Rottghly fatlmated , there are from 1,000 to , * 59'4AiBerfiaBS ! IB' Berlin every year , not transients , hut people -who remain at least during the winter months , It is sate to as- icrt that' fully two-thirds ot this number are itudents ot music , the German capital hav ing completely distanced every other Ger man town In this particular. There are 120 conservatories for music In Berlin , besides an Immense army of teach ers , and these facilities for learning are supplemented toy the 800 or 000 concerts of all kind * ( which take place during the mu- alcl season from October 1 to May 1. The American student , particularly tbe girl student , has taken possession of these conservatories and concert balls In a way that does credit to our national enterprise and perseverance. She Is winning laurels and respect for- herself and her country here , aa everywhere else in 'Europe. ' Although no coe who knows the artistic life of the German capital would'recommendBerlin any more tban any other great 'European city as a safe place of residence tor a young girl de- pendtdt upon herself , still It offers many ad vantages. Not ony the exceptional opportuni ties' for learning music , but the additional advantage of being able to live In fair com fort at 'a moderate cost. LIVING EXPENSES. ( Such a student can reduce llvVag expenses in Berlin to $25 , or .even $20 , a month , with out greater hardship than a little careful .management. For. the sake of those who may be contemplating making the experi ment , I will give the exact figures. /The male student has one advantage. He can get cheaper rooms In houses where a young woman could not live , tut this ts compensated ! for by the woman's greater aptitude in 'housekeeping. ( She can get many a 'nice little meal for herself where a man ts dependent upon 'restaurants. * That quarter of the town In which most of the conservatories' are located , and In which the musical student prefers to live , to save tlmo and expense In going to and from lessons , Is eminently respectable , con taining almost entirely only nice houses. Here you can get a small room for 25 or 30 marks a month , say $7 or $750 ; , .and a room [ quite large enough for two people for $10 a nonth. There la a slight fee monthly for rvlco and lights , firing ts extra , but not fpenslve. That is , It would be expensive 'you attempted to attain American de- of warmtb. You don' t however ; you > im give it up ta despair. A kitchen outfit ot a little alcohol lamp , a kettle , saucepan or two ; and the necesaary dishes will enable yon to prepare your break fast and' .supper at very slight cost ; $5 a month will cover 'this Item , and you will not live badly either , It you are a good manager. " * . For this price you can allow yourself a good pitcher ot nourishing cocoa , with rolls aad butter for breakfast , white for supper , you have. brow * bread and but'er , some. kind of sausage * or cold meat'or eggs cooked In some way , with cheese , a salad .now and then andan occasional bottle ot beer or glass of milk , M you prefer. , The cold meats and sausage you buy In mall quantities , dellclously prepared , all ready for use , at one. ot tbe fascinating delicatessen flhops.

The ur will begin to fly when a resolution I * ntroduced contemplating a change In the rulues to the effect that elections of new ext book * must be made in April or May nstcad of In August , ai the rule now pro- crlbes. This waa originally the rule of the board , and It was In force 'Until early last lummer. A year ago there was a lively fight between the various book companies to fur nish the new geographies tbat were needed n the schools. . The old text book had been n' iite for'a dozen years 'and was so" far out of date tbat it was next to useless aa a means of' Instruction. At that time the American Book company- had a' new book In roccss of preparation , but could not deliver t ia time and "consequently' confined itself o a vlgccoua effort .to postpone action. Its representatives succeeded In convincing a number .of members otthe board that tbe new book would be largely superior to any- hlng else tbat was obtainable and these members finally , secured the adoption ot the ' change'In tb rules by which the time of changing books was changed to August. When August came the book company was no better prepared to compete than before and action was again staved off. Consequently quently ! ' according' to the present rule , no action can be taken until next August. But it develops that the book company la now anxloua to bring the matter to a focus aa early as possible. Its new book la ready 'or delivery and It Is' exceedingly anxious to get It Into tbe ecboota before June , In order Ihit it may secure the Invaluable advertising connected wltb the presence In this city of the Transmlssisslppi Educational congress : Tbts- was tbe purpose of the recent visit of Frank A.

There wai considerable delay experienced la starting the machinery of the May term of the district court , caused principally by the tact that of the 150 jurors called la to serve during the first three weeks nearly all desired to be excused. In offering tbclr excuses they Informed Judge Slabaugh , al most to a man , that tbey had good positions and were earning more than tbe salary allowed jurors. In many Instances men said that they feared that If they served on the jury for the period of three weeks , when they returned to their work they would find tbelr places occupied by others. Judge Slabaugh excused thirty-one jurors during tbo morning hour and promised a number of others that he would take their caaea under advisement and give an answer at some subsequent time. During the morning none of the judges out side of the criminal court found much to do , owing to the fact tbat they were not able to secure trial juries. They busied them selves with some minor motions In cases tbat will come up later on during tbe term. Judges Baker and Keysor are not holding co this week. Judge Baker goes to Burt CO , wbero he will close up the buetnees ot an adjourned term in that county. This will ! consume the greater portion of the week. Judge Kejeor ia out of the city and during his absence his docket will be presided over by Judge Fawcett of tbe equity bench. During the day a number of parties were arraigned In criminal court and all pleaded not guilty. Tbo parties called before Judge were : Charles Johnson , burglary ; William Valentine , shooting with Intent to kill ; Harry O. Chaftee , forgery ; . Frank B. Gee. larceny as bailee ; George McKenney , passing a forged order. SlUT AGAINST STOCKHOUJKIIS.

A mysterious occurrence which has kept the household of Judge B. J. Neville , 1309 South Thirty-second street , In. a state of agi tation for'two nights culminated at 2:15 : yesterday morning In a burglar'call to the police station.On Saturday'night ths-famlly was awakened about midnight by the. sound * of heavy pounding , as though some one In' the lower-portion ot the house were' wielding a sledgehammer. Judge Neville went to the window and made a demonstration ; where upon the noise ceased. ' The. house bad no sooner regained Its quiet than the hammering re commenced wltb such violence.as to shake the walls. It' was once more' ' discontinued ; however , when the family 'moved about , but was heard at Intervals during the night. At 10:30 : o'clock laot night Augusta Rood , the servant girl , returned home from' church and saw three men standing In front ot the house. She made a detour to avoid them and reached her roam In safety. A tew mln- ptes later she heard , Ins common with the rest of the family , the mysterious noise of the same character and violence as that of the night before. She says she' ' then took a lamp and went to the kitchen , where' she was startled to see two men silently await ing her : 'She ' ran screaming to tbe front part ot the house and fell In a faint at the foot of the stairs. Judge Neville came down stairs as she fell , and running to "the back door , fired a shot Into tbe darkness to frighten away the intruders. He found the door leading outdoors wide open , s , well 'as the cellar door , which be had carefully braced with chairs in remembrance of tbe night before. Tbe bouse was once more carefully se cured and everything was quiet until after 2 o'clock. Atthat hour Judge Neville , was aroused by the same ill-boding sound which : had previously disturbed him. It fell like a blow at regular Intervals , and seemed to be located In tbe cellar. From an upper room It could be seen tbat a cellar window waa open , and a son ot Judge Neville stood guard over this with a revolver , while the Judee called to a neighbor to telephone tote the police station. A docen men burrle.d to the scene and the house'was surrounded and searched. No one could be found about tbe premises , and there were no traces of muddy footprint * on.the ledge of tbe cellar window , Whether hi * house has been made the , shop of some maniacal blacksmith , or whether opIt Is peopled by athletic and Industrious ghosts , Judee Neville to at present unable to deter- Wagea Discharge * a Cartridge.
