An Airy Sketch of a Southern
Belle.
The Southern girl 1s a type
peculiar to the soil. She resem-
ples no other young lady in the
country. Ino thought, manners,
and methods she has 4 distinct
personality, ard could be picked
out with ease 1n a multitude. As
arule she is slender and strong.
She is reasonably weil modeled,
a tendency to tight lacing among
tne traditions of her people hav-
ing Had its natural effect to some
extent upon her figure. She i8
generally good-looking and yery
often handsome. Her neryous
personality is of vaiue in this di-
rection, for her eyes are bright
and her perceptions quick. She
isas a rale, nigh spirited and
gomewhat self-willed, She is
harder to control than the North-
ern girl, and when she makes up
her mind to get married ana the
old people object she usvally
carries out the program if it takes
a saddle horse to accomplish it.
None the less, however, she 18
usually shrewd in determining
her choice, and does, not usually
make mistakes. She dresses well.
Her style ig rather pronounced.
She speaks in a high-keyed voice
and talks rapidly. She speaks of
her escort invariably as oher
man,� and of the gentlemen in
general as othe men.� She 1s
never Visible in public without
one of these usetul and convenient
articles beside her. Her conver-
gation is directed mainly at the
topics of the day and badinage of
alight and dry character. Her
ageis from eighteen to twenty
five years. She never passes the
latter age. An ox team could
not make ber. The Southern
girlTs particular specialty is danc-
ing. She can dance every dance
under the san, including all the
tipupe, kicks, and running races
which have been invented by the
dancing master since dancing
Was taken from the polite arts
god raisad to a place among ath-
letie sports. She is the most
graceful of dancers, and would
rather dance than eat. She is as
light as a fairy and graceful as
could be desired, and is so fond
of floating over the floor, a trois
temps, that she will dance with
another girl rather than keep
still.
National Cemeteries
A writer in the New York Suan
gives a tabulated list of the fed-
@ral soldiers buried in the federal
cemetaries: It says there are
4,201 veterans at rest in the feder-
al cemetery in Raleigh, of which
"gumber 629 are known and 572
unknown. There are 102 knowy
and 12,035 unknown 1n the Salis-
bury cemetery; 717 known and
2,577 unknown in the Wilmington
cemetery ; and 2,212 known and
1,091 unknown in the Newbern

oTomfoolery !� broke in anoth-

This was received with some

(By Anglo-American Press.)
.ROTTERDAM, Nov. 1.
The notorious crimes of the late
American murderer, Holmes, have been
outdone by the wholesale butcheries
perpetrated by Gustav Carl Friedrich
Muller, a watchmaker of this city, who
has surrender pimself to the police for
the assassination of his wife and child,
and who pleads guilty to the murders
of his father, mother, fourteen wives
and several of his children It is be-
lieved that Muller, though only 32 years
of age, has murdered more than twenty
persons, to all of whom he was bound
by sacred ties. He is now trying to
starve himself to death. -
Muller entered the Kassmarkt police
station a few days ago, and, approach-
ing the officer on duty, exclaimed dra-
matically:
oT surrender myself! I have mur-
dered my wife and child!�
oWhat do you mean?� asked the of-
ficer, incredulously.
oJust what I say,� answered Muller.
oT have killed them both.T
Thought He Was Crazy.
oHow did you come to do it?T asked
the officer, still thinking the man was
not telling the truth,
oI was in the kitchen this morning,�
Muller replied, ~cleaning mussels for
the midday meal,when a voice called to
me to draw my knife across my wifeTs! medical student of the asylum,
Sent to an Asylum,
There being no doubt as to the manTs
insanity, the necessary certificate for
his removal to a lunatic asylum was
procured, and on the 15th of April, 1893,
Gustav Muller was taken, in the usual
way, to the London County Lunatic
Asylum, at Banstead, in Surrey.
From inquiries made there yesterday
"after the announcement of the crime
at Rotterdam-"there is no doubt that
theT Gustav Muller who was detained
at Banstead, and the Gustav Muller
who gave himself up for the murder of
his wife and child to the Rotterdam
police, are one and the same person.
In the book of entries at Banstead
Gustav Muller is described as well built
and well nourished, with healthy or-
gans, and a o~well-shaped cranium.� His
age was given as 27; by trade a watch-
maker and goldworker. Nothing was
known as to his religion or nationality,
and whether he was married or single.
Nor were any details forthcoming re-
garding the epileptic fits from which he
was supposed to be suffering, the dates
of their occurrence, his treatment in In-
dia and in Europe, and so on. But he
was reported to suffer from suicidal
mania, though not to be a dangerous
lunatic.
Behaved Well at Banstead.
As a matter of fact Gustay Muller
not only behaved very well indeed all
the time he was at Banstead, quietly
| working on the farm attached to the
asylum and carrying out all the orders
given him without reluctance or de-
mur, but showed no signs of delusions
or hallucinations. Nor was he subject
to any epileptic fits while staying at
Banstead. His health was reported fair
and improving; his mental state was
stated to be ~calm and placid,� and
his features did not indicate oany low-,
ering of the intellectual grade.� No
tremor of his facial muscles betrayed
any inward or mental disturbance. But,
as Muller persisted in saying that he
did not comprehend anything else but
yerman, further investigation was, no
doubt, rendered somewhat difficult.
On April 19, however, Dr. Shaw, the
who
throat, and I was compelled to obey. /Speaks German and French fluently,
Then I, killed the little one.�
The officer, convinced that Muller
was a drunkard or a maniac, laughed,
which enraged his visitor.
oPerhaps you will believe me now,�
cried Muller, taking from his pocket
and placing on the desk in front of the
horrified officer four bloody human
ears, oGo to my house, and you will
find that what I have said is true.�
The man was immediately placed un-
der arrest, and Chief Strang, the head
of.the Police Department, was notified.
Ordering two officers to follow him,
the chief hurried to the prisonerTs
house and there found ample confirma-
tion of MullerTs tragic tale.
Both Were Butchered.,
In the kitchen were the two bodiss
of MullerTs wife and child, the heads
of both having been nearly severed
from the trunks. The room was spat-
tered with blood.
Chief Strang went to the _ Kassmarkt
station and subjected Muller to a rigid
examination. Mullerawithout any com-
pulsion, confessed that these two mur-
ders were merely links in a leng chain
of .crime. He told the chief he had
butchered his father and mother and
had married fourteen women in as
many parts of the world, all of whom
he had. done to death, with a number
of their children. He could not re-
member how many little ones he had
slaughtered.
After completing his confession, Mul:
ler became morosely silent and refused
to eat. He has declared his intention
of abstaining from food as the only
way in which he can commit suicide.
"The police now give full credence to
his awful story, and are making every
effort to trace his other crimes. It is
believed that some of his murders were
committed in the Orient.

HIS ENG
(By Anglo-American Press.)
LONDON, Nov. 1.
Some time in March, 1898, there land-
ed at Dover a German watchmaker
named Gustav Muller. He came from
India, traveling somewhat leisurely,
through France, on his way to this
country. When he arrived in London,
toward the end of March, he was pen-
niless, or nearly so. The slender re-
sources he may have had in his pos-
session were soon exhausted, and one
night he was found wandering in
Southwark by Police Constable Ridg-
way, 13 M. R., who took him to the
workhouse in Mint street, Borough.
This happened on the 30th of March
of the said year.
~In due course Gustav Muller, who,
strange to say"coming as he did from
1 India"professed neither to understand
nor to speak a word of English, came
under the observation of the workhouse
doetor, who very soon came to the con-
clusion that the man was of unsound
mind. He walked about the yard in a
dazed manner, talKing to himself all the
time, and he told the doctor some ex-
traordinary tales. He had, he said,
murdered his father and mother, his
wife and children. At other times he
proclaimed himself a wholesale slaugh-
)terer. having butchered no Jgss than
}
}
had a lengthy conversation with his
Teutonic patient. The latter confirmed
to him that he had come from India.
Feil from an Elephant.
While sojourning in that country, he
said, he had toward the end of the
year 1891 fallen from an elephant he
wag riding, in consequence of which he
had to remain in a hospital for some
time. He attributed his epileptic fits,
and his mental condition, to that fall
iin India, from which he had never en-
tirely recovered. He repudiated, how-
ever, the correctness of the statements
in the certificate of the medical officer
of St. GeorgeTs workhouse, and cer-
tainly was neat aware of having acted
and spoken as therein stated. The doc-
tor in Southwark, he said, must have
misunderstood him, not being able to
follow his German.
Yo Dy. Shaw, Muller must have, at |
any rate, spoken with great clearness
and intelligence. He appeared thor-
oughly earnest and genuine, although
he averred as a fact what was un-
doubtedly false"namely, that he
unmarried, adding, what was probably
true, that he had no friends in Eng-
land. .
Had a Family in Berlin.
At that time. Gustav Muller had a
wiT? and child"a boy"living in Berlin,
H}. parents were also alive in Ger-
m: ., his father being a foreman on ,
th: oyal Prussian railways. This is /
pr ad by a letter, sent to Dr. Shaw
at i .nstead, from the secretary of the
said railways at Berlin in May, 1893,
therefore at the very time that Muller
was detained in the asylum. In that
letter the writer almost implores Dr.
Shaw, in the name of a omourning
family,TT to tell him whether Gustav
Muller was suffering from an incurable
disease, or whether there might be a
chance of his recovery. Consequently,
MullerTs ~omouring familyT? must have
been aware of his detention at this par-
ticular asylum.
Dr. Shaw was able to send an en-
couraging reply to Berlin. Indeed, in
June, 1893, Gustay Muller was rapidly
improving in health, so that, on the 22d
of that month, the committee of vis-
itors felt justified to order his release
as fully orecovered,� of course, on the
report of the medical authorities at
Banstead to that effect.
Sent Back to Germany,
After his discharge Gustav Muller is
lost sight of for a while; but there is
no doubt that soon afterward he was
sent back to Germany, presumably at
the expense of the Imperial, Exchequer,
as a pauper, for, at the end of the
said year we find him once again in
the conjugal domus at Berlin. He had
deserted his wife and child in January,
1890, leaving no trace of his where-
abouts for fully three years and a half.
This period in the murdererTs existence
ig still largely a blank. It is only
known that he wandered about in the
world, visiting many countries, and
finally finding his way to India, where,
as we have already seen, he met with
@ serious accident toward the end of
1891,
There ig no doubt that Muller ab-
sconded in January, 1890, from Berlin
as a fraudulent bankrupt, but he per-
suaded his wife to take him back again
