WAS A WOMAN.
A Remarkable Story that Comes
from a Monastery,
BUDAPEST AUSTJRIA,
Father Basile Popovice, Dying at Ninety
Years of Age, Turned Out to Be a
Woman. Discovery Connects
Her Life With a Very
(irave Crime
A dispatch from Budapest, Austria,
to the IsTew York American tells a
strange story. The letter says the
sudden blaze of excitement within
and without the walls of the famous
monastery of Tziduoani, then frowning
silence on Lnc part of the agitated
monks, andr.o* the moat tantahzing
mystery concerning the details of a
discovery the most marvellous and unexpected
ever made within the do
main of a holy order.
What! Father Basile Popovice, holiest
of the aged brethren, really no
monk at all? Good Father Basile,
loved by the peasantry, for thirty
years famous for his piety the world
over, dying at ninety, to reveal the
fact that lie Is a woman!
All about the countryside the amaz
lug news spread itself before the fathers
could gather their wits together
and resolve to give no authority to
the report, to discountenance any further
discussion of it. Hut their ef
forts in the latter direction have been
unavailing. The bare suspicion that
Father Popovice lived more than a 1
third of his life as a monk and was '
buried as a woman, is enough to set
the memories of old men and women
to work to lit into his history a page
so dark that It cannot be read without
a shudder.
Did Father Popovice become a
monk thirty years ago to protect himself
from the consequences of and to
expiate a terrible crime?
This is what the old men and women
of the district remember?old
men and women who for forty years
have had dealings with the Tzlducani
Monastery aud whose trials have been
lightened by the ministrations of Fa
ther Popovice and his brethren.
RECALLS A TKRHIHLE MUUDEK,
It is not difficult for them to r call
the exact year when Father Popovice
first appeared among them. It was
the same year, the same mouth and
the same week that the countryside
was shocked by a horrible murder. In
the outskirts of the district lived an
honest worklngcoan with his bcautl
iui wire ana two charming children.
One day the husband discovered that
his wife knew and occasionally met a
man who appeared to be considerably
above his own station in life.
Although the husband did not
charge his wife with Impropriety, he
is said to have reminded her that nj
good could come of such a friendship
The very next day the husband ai d
both children were found dead in the
hut savagely murdered.
The wife and mother had dlsap
peared as absolutely as though the
ground had opened and swallowed her.
There was strong circumstantial evidence
that she was the murdress. She
was believed to have committed suicide
in such a manner as to place her
body beyond possible discovery. How
she could have accomplished this was
a mystery that has never ceased being
discussed.
Abbott's stkanok visitou.
Now at least these old men and women
who, for three decades, have
passed in and out through the gates
of the monastery of Tziducani believe
that the death of Father Popovice
has solved the mystery. ,
It was on the second night following
the triple murder that a man who
appeared to he between iifty and sixty
yuarN uni, uu&wua uu iiairon nis iace '
?save some short scattering hairs on
his chin?and dressed like a getleman,
appeared before the abbot of
the monastery and begged 'to be ad i
mitted as a member of the order.
The man appeared much agitated.
He foil upon his knees to the abbot, j
He shed tears and said that the salva- j
tion of his soul depended upon a fu- j
ture life of the most rigid self denial ]
in the service of God and humanity.
Nothing but a vow of obedience, l
charity and humility could save him. ]
The abbot bent his gaze severely up- <
on the suppliant and asktd: i
"What crime have you committed 1
that you thus seek to make expiation?"
At these words the man trembled ;
and was silent for several moments.
Finally he offered to confess, provided ,
the abbot would grant his prayer. ,
Again ti e father superior of the mon&strv
looked inquiringly at the kneel
ing suppliant.
"Hut," he said, at length, "you appear
never to have grown a beard. It
is a rule of the order that the brethren
must wear beards."
MADK A CONFESSION.
Then the man rose eagerly and
showed the abbot the scattering hairs
on his chin, and protested that in
time their growth, if not luxuriant,
would at least serve to prove his spirit
of obedience.
"Very well," said the abbot; "now
what is it that you have tooonfess?"
The man put his lips to the abbot's
ear and whispered half a dozen sentences.
The abbot drew back as
though shooked. But the orlme that
the man confessed could not have been
very great, for that night he began
bis novitiate.
One of the monks who witnessed
this scene spoke of it to blB fellows,
and gradually every one In and about
the monastery learned that the new
monk whose face was so nearly smooth
had something on his conscience, and
was engaged In a service of expiation
He had called himself Popovlce, but
when he had subscribed to the vows
he was christened again, and "Brother
Basile" t>egan his career in the monastery
of Tzlducanl as the meekest
and most obedient of all the voices,
whose duties are menial and their garb
and food of the scantiest,
Brother Basile never faltered. lie
served as scullion In the monastery
kitchens, waited upon theeldtr monks
at table, Fcruhbed the floors and tolled
tirelessly In the garden and vineyard.
Sometimes at dusk In the gard' n he
would be seen leaning on hisspr.de for
minutes together, motionless, evidently
In a reverie, and at such tiroes his
e^es shone out of their dark ctveri a
with a light which seemed like that
of madness.
T ie scatter log hairs on his chin
grew longer, tut wire hardly more
numerous. But because Brother Basllc
was so ( ften heard praying all night
In ids c. 11, and because o' his humility
and his unflagging industry, this
shortcoming in a brother whose fellows
were all full-beared, was readily
forgiven.
a I'ASSION FUJI KNOWLKDGB.
Not only did lie pray In his cell;
he studied?studied passionately.
And before live years bad c me and
gone "Brother Baslle" had become a '
regularly initiated monk and wa^
loved in and out of the monastery as
"Good Father Baslle."
No one was so ready as he to no
among the poor of the village^, to
watch heside sick peasants, to bring
food to the starving, to comfort the
dying and support the spirits of the
hereav- d. F >r this the people came
to love him with a devotion which no
other monk enj >yed. All through the
district the name of Father Baslle was
known and revered.
Yet at times lie was a strange being
whom no one could fathom. There
were times when his prayers were
mingled with heart rending groans.
With face ghastly pale and his features
writhing as though In manifestation
of some almost insupportable
mental agony, he would stop beside
the road at dusk, Ills eyes apparently
tixed upon some object miles away.
Atfu ih times 110 cue accosted him.
It was something no one tried to understand,
but all respected the cause,
whatever It was, for all knew that
niurht Lrood Father lUivll^ wf.niri ? ?
main tbe whole night on liia knees in
his bare cell.
WENT IIUNUKY TO KKKI) OTHERS.
Nowhere in the world is there a
monastery whose regulations are more
severe than are those of Tziducanl.
Unless he were ill Father Ilasile didn't
know the taste of tea, coiTee or cocoa.
Like the other monks he slept in a
cold, hare cell. At (5 a. m. he rose from
his narrow, hard bed and said prayers
for half an hour, until the ringing of
the Angelus. After that until 9
o'clock, without a morsel of food, heattended
various services. Ti en meditation
for half an hour, another half
hour at work in the garden, or at some
other kind of manual labor. Now there
is a meal of the most frugal descrip
tlon never a morsel of ilesh meat,
and during Lent not even e ggs, cheese,
miik or butter.
Coarse bread, a little tish, sometimes
two eggs and a salad, with the
choice tf wine or beer?that was the.
fare of Father Hasile. And because
almost daily he would lay aside some
portion of it to relieve the l unger of
some poor villager he was more often
hungry himself than any other monk.
Such self-denial, and such deeds of
kindness to all in the district who
ever appealed to him caused Father
Baslle's fame to spread all over Europe.
When he grew too old to leave the
monastery groun ls peasants and even
rich and powerful persons made pil
grimages, even from great dls .ances to,
obtain the blessing of the holiest of
monks.
A Hfr.t-.lo mnrn tfrion ? - ?
.. ..w>? luutu uiiau UVTU UlUlltllH ll^O
Father liisile was ninety years old.
The visitors who did him honor 011
that d ly were so numerous that the t
monastery inclosure cuild hardly hold S
the 111. His place in the monastery, A
unotlicially, was higher than that of f
the abbot, for it was the fame of t
Father Baslle's piety and long ascetic >
life that had caused Tziduoani to rise a
from obscurity and take its place f
among the most celebrated homes of u
religious orders. i;
Father liasile, on his ninetieth d
birthday, was still active, but d af and c
partly blind. Toe outlines of his I
wrinkled face were softened by long a
straggling hairs?barely enough of t
them to be called by courtesy a beard.
For the last half dozen years he had
remained mostly in his cell, praying
more hours than ever. Hut he was F
more cheerful than formerly. What- a
ever had been the crime which he had c
confessed to the old abbot, now dead, F
Lve seemed to feel that it. i.aH r

fully expiated. c
DiCA 1) AND A WOMAN. 4
Less tban a month later good Father a
Hasile was found dead in his cell. ^
Hardly had the sad news reached the
neighboring villages where It was followed
by the startling report that in
preparing the monk's body for burial e
the fathers had made the discovery c
that had thrown the monastery into t
uncontrollable excitement?that Fa- s
ther Hasile was a woman! i
There had never been any suspic- 1
Ions of this to give rise to a false report,
and the very reticenoe of the abbot
and all the fathers when details H
were sought tended to give the first j
report stronger credenoe. Naturally u
the abbot would shield the monastery J
from gofstp go damaging to its fame,
and naturally the life long companions
of Father Haslle would strive to have
his fame continue unimpaired. Aed
thus there Is only the first significant
fiame of excitement, and the first incautious
admission of the fact to support
what every* ody believes to he
the truth?that Father IJasile was really
& woman.
Why should it occur to a woman to
tike such a step, considering the risk
of discover* ? She was a fugitive from
Justice. Where else could she better
bury herself? What othe* disguise
would be more securt ? Did she not
confess to the abbot her commission of
some crlm< ?
SOLVES AN OLD MY8TKUY.
And so, piece by piece, the old mm
and women c f the district I ave built
up the theory that this woman calling
herself a man wis the wif j who>e
husband and children were found
murdered thirty years ago.
But thev do not say that she her
self committed that terrible deed, or
even that she had guilty knowledge
of It. Perhaps, knowing that her
fault led logically to the. murder by
another, and knowing that she. was
suspected, she sought In the monas
tery to h refuge arid the expiation of
a contributory orror.

A BJ5B8ATIOHAL REPORT
That li. K. l)arK*n Old Not Commit
Hulolde ? Reported.
A story was Id circulation last week
that former President Robert Keith
Dargan, of the Independent Cottton
Mill Company of Darlington, did not
commit snioide, and in fact is not
dead. Tne rumor states that the
body has never been viewed by the
jury, and the only time that it was
seeu by the coroner was when the
or unty otllcial was called to the law
otllce and found the former cttlcer
seated in a chair at a desk, with the
whiskey, and carbolic acid on the
desk According to the story, Mr.
Dargan was carried to his home in a
closed carriage. It is said that the
stricken home was cloned to callers,
and nobody saw Mr. Dargan in the
ca ket, which was later interred after
services performed by two ministers
of Darlington.
The story question whether the
casket contained Mr. Dargan's body,
and it is said that the insurance company,
the state agent of which is locited
at Columbia, is investigating
the matter, with a view of ascertain
ing whether Mr. Dargan really died
and was bulled. It is argued that
whiskey is an antidote for carbolic
acid poison, with which Mr. Dargan
is said to have killed himself, and that
as long as whiskey Is drunk the acid
can be safely taken into the system
The presence of the whiskey on the
desk near the suicide, is cited to show
a possible knowledge of this f^ot, and
to sustain the theory that the man
never killed himself. Additional color
is given to the theory from the
part that Mr. Pegram had in the af
fair
It struck many people a3 a most asfounding
proposition that a man
could idly and calmly sit in the room
and allow his brother to take the poison,
and after his death then give the
alarm. The theory that no suicide
was c >mmitted offers an explanation
of this feature of the case, and the
failure of Mr. Pegram Darganto make
any statement at the inquest, when
put on the stand, simply saying that
the statement of his brother spoke for
Itself, Is construed to mean that he
did uot wish to tnvolve himself by asserting
that tils brother was dead,
when he had not killed himself, ac
cording to the story. Tho story is a
most remarkable one and is thought to
be a fake, but it is being very persistently
circulated here and Is published
for what It is worth.

Corn Damaged, but Cotton (Jotting
Along Fairly Well.
The week ending Monday, July 17,
was slightly ccoler than normal. The
temperature extremes were a maximum
of 91 degrees at Allendale on the
10th, ai da minimum of 65 degrees at
Greenville on the 11th and 14th. The
temperature conditions were favorable.
There were a number of damaging
high winds, especially in Greenville
and neighboring oouuth s, accompanying
thunderstorms. There was
an excess of cloudiness over the entire
sta> e.
With the exception of a deticlency
in the central counties where there
were numerous showers but little rain,
tiie precipitation for the week was
copious and in many places excessive,
ra.ni/irior from nnn In nver 6vn lrmhA?
In the extreme western, and in plaees
in the northeastern counties, lands
were washed and bottom lands Hooded.
The rainfall was heavy along the
coast and excessive in lieaufort couaty.
Over the greater part of the state,
the numerous showers and the cloudy
weather kept the ground too wet to
work, and delayed the laying by of
Held crops. Some fK Ids of corn and
cotton have again bicome grassy and
are in urgent need of cultivation.
Cotton grew very fast in all sections,
but did not fruit in proportion.
The plants have generally attained
normal growth, and in many places !
have grown too large, but, with the
exception of Hampton county, where
the rai is caused the plants to turn
yellow, .hey have a good, health, color,
but aie soft and sappy. There are
some complaint of shedding squares
and of black root, and of rust ou sandy
lands, and of damage from Insects,
but on the whole a general improvement
Is noted. The crop needs fair
weather.
Some bottom land corn was damaged
and some destroyed, otherwise
there was a general Improvement in
the oodditlon of corn, especially of late
plantings. Tobacco curing is general;
late tooaeco made rapid growth, but
the crop promises to be short. June
rice receiving its Hrst cultivation.
Gardens improved. Peas doing well
Peaches rotting. Pastures have im
