LOVE FOR BOOKS CAUSES ARREST Educational Works Fouad in: For today’s ceremony the station was transformed into an reception | hall. Ail trains were stopped before 9, and | the long platforms were covered with pur- | ple cloth. On another platform, facing that | i | { | | immense at which the Queen train was to arrive, guards of honor, composed of biue jackets and grenadier guards, were drawn up. The lord chamberlain and his ofticials, bareheaded, with their white wands of of- fice, received the most distinguished per- sonages and conducted them to a little pa- vi lion, erected on the platform. The commander-in-chief of the forces Field Marshal Earl Roberts, on a beautiful, | spirited brown mare, carrying his fie'd mar- | shal’s baton, at this iuncture trotted int | the station and hecame the center of ins | terest. He was scon followed by the ear! |! marshai, the Duke of Norfolk and many of | the most distinguished -Britis fficers Following the carriesom PPCedexy by: an officer came an objé@f at which every | 42 J _ officer in the animated throng tInstinctively | came to the salute bared. it was the little khaki colored gun ecar- riage which was to carry Queen Victoria's remains from Victoria to Paddington sta- tion. The eight Hanovarian cream-colored horses which also drew the late Queen on ‘he occasion of the jubilee were used today. The gold harnesses, scarlet-coated postil- lions and searlet and gold-covered grooms who held each of the horses by the bridle | were all the same. riage, instead of the glittering glass and gold coach, marked the change. : With the exception that rubber tires were on the wheels the gun carriage was as-if in actual use. The place for the coffin to rest was over the gun. All heads were uncovered as the saloon carriage bearing the Queen’s remains steamed into the station and stopped exact- ly opposite the gun carriage and King Ed- ward, Queen Alexandra, Emperor William | and others alighted. Then the bearer party advanced to the saloon carriage and with his hand at the salute and standing a little in advance of the others King Edward watched the pain- fully slow removal of the coffin to the gun carriage. It was finally accomplished and the pall and the regalia of the British crown were placed on the coffin. The crowds which so early gathered in the streets this morning evinced an entire leck of feverish unrest and excitement. The great masses of police, which assembled yhantomlike in the grayness of the morn- ng, seemed apologetically to tiptoe to their allotted stations, as though their presence refiected in the solemnity dominat- ing everything. Never did a concourse of people so little need either civ‘l or military cufidance. No man standing by his moth- er's bler ever needed admonition less than did these hundreds of thousands of men and women, gathered from al. parts of the kingdcm on the funeral route of their moth- er. the’ Queen. "The btrangest part of all was the fact that the women seemed tu outnumber the men. White-ribboned nurses marked almost every yard along the route, just as_ the Marvs of old gathered beneath the cross at the greatest of all spectacles of human grief, so women today were in the fore- front at the burial of the Queen. Troops there were to be sure, thousands upon thousands assembling specter-like out of the morning mists, their blue black over- coats and bearskins deepening the note of mourning pervading everything. Purple was the tone of the royal mourn- ing and this seemed almost a relief, con- trasted with these silent masses of black- | garbed people. It was the true note, after : of the day's ceremonial, for no one} among England's heart-stricken people | could look upon the finished life of their | Queen with feelings of entire gloom.

In a warrant issued Saturday at the in- stance of Theophilus Herzog, manager of the J. L. Boland Bock Co., he is charged with petit larceny. Henderson says that he did not mean to steal and that if he had been given time he would have reimbursed his employers. ‘The young man’s arrest surprised many of his friends, who knew him as a promi- nent church worker. He is an active mem- ber of the Y. M. C. A. and the teacher of a Sunday school class at the First Congrega- tional Church. The discovery that books were missing | was made Friday, and Henderson's room at | 3323 Lucas avenue was searched Friday | night. The result seemed to warrant the | clerk’s arrest. When his trunk was exam- ined it was found to contain a large num- ber of books, most of them educational. | There were also several valentines and a number of stove castings. The police said Saturday that they had evidence that Henderson used some of the books in teaching his Sunday school class. The prisoner is 22 years old.

HE HAS MANY ENGLISH TITLES She Is the Daughter of William Wal- dorf Astor and Both Are Very Wealthy. 3 NEW YORK, Feb. 2.—The announcement of the engagement of the Duke of Rox- burghe to Miss Pauline Astor, daughter of Mr. William Waldorf Astor, did not come as @ great surprise to the friends of the prospective bride in this city. Reports of the engagement have been circulated at times since 1898, when Miss Astor was only 18 years old. When it was first rumored Mr. Astor made a public denial, saying his daughter was a mere child. The story has frequently recurred, varied once, however. The Duke of Roxburghe has recently re- turned from South Africa, where, undor Gen. French, he did distinguished service. He is a HMeutenant in the Royal Horse Guards. Henry John Innes-Ker, eighth Duke of Roxburghe, is 25 years old. He succeeded to the title in 1892 on the death of his father. The titles that fell to him on his elevation were apa auess of Roxburghe and Cessford, Earl of Roxburghe, Earl of Kelso, Viscount Broxmouth, Baron Roxburghe, Baron Ker of Cessford and Cavertoun in Scotland, Ear! Innes in the United Kingdom and a baro- net of Novia Scotia. His country seats are Flors Castle, Kelso, Roxburgheshire and Broxmouth, Dunbar, County of Haddington. His town residence fis 1 Chesterfield Gardens, West. He owns 60,500 acres of land. The duke is a cousin of the Duke of Marlborough, who married Miss Vanderbilt. His grandfather, when made Earl of the United Kingdom, oe the first peer created by Queen Vic- oria. . Most of Miss Astor’s life has been spent abroad. She is William Waldorf Astor's only daughter, and with her two brothers will inherit his vast fortune. Excursion Sleeping Cars TO LOS ANGELES AND SAN FRANCIs- CO.

When seen today McCaughey named five of the gang who were in Pittsfield at the time of Miss Fosburgh’s death as ‘Dirty Dick”’ Quinn, “‘Shag’’ Smith, ‘Jack’ Bly, Fred Patterson and one Hennessey. His statement agrees with that of an-} other member of the gang, now serving a sentence at Taunton, Mass. The two men have not seen each other since their ar- rest. McCaughey has a grievance against Bly and threatens to make further revelations. In his statement to Davis he said the mem- bers of the gang had been afraid uinh would turn state’s evidence. It is believed he may clear up the shooting of Miss Fos- burgh. a Wha. the Prosecution Will Try to Prove. It is learned that the prosecution will try to prove that Robert Fosburg shot his sister May while he was quarreling with his wife. The government probably will not con- tend that Robert Fosburgh intended to kill his wife. The most that the prosecution may con- tend is that while in-the heat of passion, incited by a quarrel, and with his quick temper further excited by the conditions under which he labored, he flourished the revolver which he had taken from the bu- reau drawer in the rear room. The prosecution will contend that there were no burglars in the house.the night of the murder. That the girl was shot with the 82-caliber revolver by her brother. That she was shot just: after she opened the door of her room. leading to the hall and fell to the floor of her own room. That her brother did not catch her as | she fell. That the fatal shot was fired from inside the room in the rear, known as the spare room.” Those who have intimated that a breach exists between the Sheldon and Fosburgh families resulting from events that possibly preceded the murder of May Fosburgh in Pittsfield last August, will have difficulty in explaining the.greeting that was given Mrs. Fosburgh, May’s mother, when she arrived here tonight. Mrs. Fosburgh was accompanied from Pittsfield by Seneca M. Taylor, her hus- band’s lifelong friend, and the man who has come all the way from St. Louis to de- fend her son. Robert. She registered at the Narragansett Hotel and after dinner went to the Sheldon home. There she was re- ceived by Mrs. Sheldon, who _ both arms about her neck amd mingled her tears with those of the good women whose troubles during the last six months have whitened her hairs. Mrs. Fosburgh slept at the Shel- don home. Mr. Taylor Hears Miss Sheldon’s Story. Mr. Tayior is here to listen to the story of Bertha Sheldon, who was visiting the s cepurghe the night that May was murd- Miss Sheldon has now given full explana- tion of what she knows of the events of that night six months ago. She denies hav- ing ever said that May Fosburgh’s body was in the hall whén she first saw it. She promises to go to Pittsfield to give testi- mony if Mr. Taylor thinks that by so doing she can in any way aid her friends and as- sist in bring about full justice. In return for this promise, Mr. Taylor tonight told her that it a be arranged so that she may give her evidence by making deposition here in Rhode Island. “It is extremely hard for me to tell the Story. of that terrible night,’’ said Miss Sheldon. “I am still suffering from the Shock I then received, but the indictment of Robert Fosburgh is so unjust that I am willing to suffer ten'times as much as |] have if I can by so doing — him and his apy 4 It is not necessary for me to say that my stay in Pittsfield up to the night of the tragedy has been as pleasant as it could have been. I never knew a family the members of which were all so filled with true affection for one another as the Fos- burgh family. That night we had music and passed a very pleasant evening.

At the time I did not know how long [ had been asleep when I was awakened by a pistol shot. “For a second I thought I had been dreaming. Then I heard the cries and con- fusion outside my door and I jumped out of bed frightened and confused. Instead of going to the door opening ifito the hal] i 'went to the door which connected my room with that occupled by May and Beatrice. My first observation was of the body of May lying full length on the floor, her feet near the threshold and her head lying tn the direction of the bed. Blood was pour- ing from her mouth. I was simply horri- fied and was aimost unable to move. The other members of the Fosburgh family were running about, all véry much excited “The house seemed to be (filled with smoke from the revolver, so that but few seconds could have elapsed after May wus shot before I entered her room.

JOYFUL Once upon a time, when Lily Langtry dropped a piece of ice down the Prince of Wales’ back, Albert Edward treated the af- fair as a great joke, for at that time the Jersey Lily was greater in the public eye than even the future King of England, for then he was less than King and she was more than Queen, as Julia Arthur would say. Now there is a new favorite with Edward _|No. 7, and people are wondering what her social status will be when the new court of England is organized. Interesting facts im this connection will be set forth by to- morrow’s Sunday Post-Dispatch.

A member of the Republican City Centra! Committee stated to the Post-Dispatch Saturday morning that the mayoralty nomination had been “taken under consid- eration”’ by ex-Gov. E. O. Stanard. Mr. Stanard, however, declared: “You can say that I will not be a candidate under any circumstances. The nomination, if fol- lowed by election, means four years of hard work, and I think they should take a younger man,’’ “Since Mr. William H. Thompson's re- fusal to make the race, we have been look- ing around for a candidate,”’ said a Repub; lican leader Saturday. “Judge Leo Rassieur, comander-in-chiet of the G. A. R., is regarded by many as the logical candidate. ex-Mayor Walbridge would be highly considered if he would consent to come out as a candidate. We understand that the state of Congressman’'s Pearce’s health wili not allow him to make the race. “One thing is certain, the Republicans must have the strongest and cleanest ticket they can get.

In addition to the straight Wells, Tinker and Noonan delegations filed Friday after- noon for the Democratic’ primaries, there were a. large number of scattering and some “dummy” delegations filed. Secretary Hoblitzelle stated Saturday morning that the total number was not far from 115, or nearly four to each ward.

Wright After Suffering Ten Years From Lost Manhood, and Being Given Up by the Best Physicians, Cured Himself, HIS FREE OFFER TO, MEN. In Order to Help Others Who are Suf- fering from Lost Manh Wright Is Sending Absolutely Free of All Cost to Any Man Who Writes for It, the Medical PRESCRIPTION WHICH CURED HIM. Gratitude is one of the noblest impulses of the human heart, and in few ledentes has this fine quality been so conspicuously exempiified as in the case of George B. Wright of Marshall. Mr. Wright is a merchant and well- known citizen ‘of Marshall, Mich., who was permanently cured of lost manhood and nervous debility after declining health for years. He now devotes his life to helping other men who suffer as he once suffered. Mr. Wright offers to send the medical prescription that effected a cure in his case to every reader of the Post-Dispatch who is suffering today as he suffered. All who will drop him a letter asking for a copy of the prescrip- tion will receive it by return mail free of charge. The following editorial by A. N. Tally, M. D., regarding Mr. Wrighy’s prescrip- tion for lost manhood, appeared in a re- cent issue of the United Stares Health Reports, pubiished at Washington, D. €.: We, as the highest American authority on ail matters of heaitu, suniiation und hygiene, are con- stantly receiving leiters oinquiry avout a rejiable cute for lost strength in men. erefore we have ordered an investigation to be made into the subject and our medica] etaff found (here were many so-called cures on the market, but that many were wortbless snd some actually harm- iul. Therefore, when we came upon the prescrip- tion furnished free by George B. Wright, a mer- chant of Marshall, Mich., we instituted a met thorough laboratory exgmination and found that its wonderful efficacy depended upon its being ex- actly compounded according to proper chemical -6quiremenis in order to establish the proper chem- ical actions and reactions in the human system, and that it should especially, and above all, contain each and every ingredient named in the prescrip- tion; otherwise it would be quite inactive end worthless. Properly mixed and containing everything called for in the prescription, its effect upon the nerve centers is truly wonderful and its nerve tonic prop- erties easily surpassed all ordinary methods of medication. Among the benefactors of the race may be men- tloned the said George B. Wright, inasmuch that he eves this grand discovery free to all who write or it. Taken according to directions it builds up the weak and restores to full size and vigor the verve muscles. It brings hope and cheer and lifts up the discouraged man so that he once more enjoys the beauties of nature and the pleasures of life. Fail- ure in business and love surely falls upon him who is weakened physically and mentally, and this sad condition is at once relieved and a new man made of him who uses this prescription. Therefore. upon the highly favorable report of our medical staff we extend to George B. Wright's prescription for lost manhood the full editorial and official indorsement of the United States bealtb reports. As certain as a wound leaves a scar, and as sure as effect follows cause, do men live to repent their follies and indiscre- tions in weakness and suffering. The tortured sufferer may bear no telltale marks of ruin upon his face to betray his lost manhood. He goes to his grave a human wreck, and never tells of his suf- ferings for fear of shame. Such mental anguish at times drives him to the verge of desperation, and he is easy prey for those’ vultures in human form—quack doctors—who hold out alluring hopes of eure only to disappoint, and after robbing him of his money, plunge him into abso- lute despair. No one can appreciate the horrors of lost manhood except he who has suffered them. No one can help such sufferers self been restored to full manhood. A notable cure of lost manhood in an ex- treme case was effected in the person of George B. Wright, a music dealer ana well known citizen of Marshall, Mich. Mr. Wright for years suffered the agony of lost vital power. He saw his physical wer go from him as a result of insid- ious disease, until he was reduced to a condition of senility, and the best doc- tors in the country gave him up to die. Like many others, he tried the various remedies offered by specialists for the treatment of weaknesses peculiar to men, and it was this experience that drove him to a little study and research for his own benefit. He asserts that his ten years’ suffering, both mentally and physically, was turned to unbounded joy in a_ single night through a rare combination of medicines that literally made him young again. It is the prescription of this discovery that his enthusiasrf® leads him to offer free to any man, young or old, who feels that his animation or the fire of ambition has left him and needs something that will brace him up and enable him to be pre- pared for any undertaking which may present itself. There is no question but what in his individual case the results were just as described, and it seems quite probable that any man who believes himself to be weak may profit by sending for this free prescription. Many people wonder how he can afford to send this prescription free, but it costs him little to do so and he feels a philanthropic interest in giving weak men an opportunity to cure them- selves. A request to G. B. Wright, music deal- er, Box No. 842, Marshall, Mich., for his free prescription, will be promptly and privately complied with by return mail. He is not a dealer in patent medicines, has nothing whatever to sell. ‘His onl? desire is to help his fellow men. ATT me ae DIRECTORS PLAN A COUP. They Would Transfer Assets of Insol- vent Company to Themselves. NEW YORK, Feb. 2.—A motion will be made in the Supreme Court of Brooklyn to- day for the transfer of $4,000,000 In real es- tate owned by the Anglo-American Loan and Savings Association, now in the_re- ceiver’s hands, to the newly-formed Em- pire State Realty Co. The receivers and many shareholders will vigorously antagonize the motion. They will assert that the officers of the empire company are practically identical with those of the Anglo-American, and that it would be pans to return the real estate to the men under whose management the Anglo-American came to grief. One of the — = points of opposing shareholders is that the transfer would relieve the Anglo- American directors of liability. They claim that the personal liability of the tors should make up @ great part of the., - pany’s losses. \ | PLANS FOR THE WISCONSI After Docking She Will Go South for Practice.

THE FRANCHISE TAX PLOT. The State Legislature has been in session 30 days, yet Wil- liam H. Phelps, chief of the corporation lobby, said to the Jefferson City correspondent of the Post-Dispatch: “We will know the fate of franchise legislation inside of 80 days.” The battle for franchise taxation was fought during the last session of the Legislature. It was defeated in the Senate. It Was strangled to death at the dictation of the corrupt lobby which cotitrolled the last Senate. But the fight was won among the people. the mind of every. honest,- unprejudiced citizen. The Democratic party in convention pledged its representa- tives to franchise taxation. The Republican party pledged its representatives to fran- chise taxation. Gov. Dockery in the campaign pledged his administration to franchise taxation. In his inaugural address he recognized the binding nature of this pledge by recommending the pass- age of a franchise tax law among the first measures of the session. Ph The people »f Missouri accepted the pledge of the Demo- cratic perty ih good faith. They defeated nearly all of the men seeking r¢-election who had voted against franchise taxa- tion. They expected from the State Legislature, among the first measures, a genuine and just franchise tax law. But 30 days after the opening of the Legislature Chief Lob- byist Phelps says that the fate of franchise legislation is un- certain. It is known to be uncertain. It is even thought, by well-posted men, to be certain of defeat. The lobbyists and attorneys of the franchise corporations are boasting that a franchise tax law cannot be passed. That the legislators are hesitating, dallying and dickering is manifest. The evidence of the lack of purpose to carry out the will of the people and keep the party pledge is plain. When the second hearing on franchise taxation wag held be- fore the joint Ways and Means Committee of the Senate and House most of the committeemen were dancing attendance at a gubernatorial reception. The people’s interests are being treated with indifference or contempt. ~¢ a excuse for this dallying on the part of legislators is that there is a confusion of mind with regard to the kind It was won in - of law needed and the kind of property that ought to be taxed. It is claimed that the minds of the legislators are be- fuddied. , If the minds of the legislatars are confused and befuddled they have been brought to that state by the corporation lobby. There is no confusion in the public mind on the subject. The kind of property to be taxed was clearly defined in the dis- cussion of the subject before the last Legislature. It has been Gefined repeatedly by the Post-Dispatch. It was defined by te Democratic State Board of Equalization. It was defined by the Governor and Attorney-General during the last ses- gion of the Legislature. It has been defined by courts and the Legislatures of other States, notably that of New York. In his inaugural address Gov. Dockery defined it so plainly that the wayfaring man, though a fool, cannot err therein. He gald: : And among the first measures which I most earnestly comménd to your favorable consideration is the passage of a law providing for the assessment and taxation of corpo- rate franchises of a public or quasi-public nature, which enjoy privileges practically exclusive. In legislating upon this important subject care should be taken not to include ‘those corporations of a minor, private character, the franchise privileges of which are of such a general nature as to add no material commercial value. But if the kind of law required and the kind of property to be taxed had not been dearly defined the State Legislature would find abundant guidance in the speeches of the repre- sentatives of franchise-holding corporations who are seeking to defeat genuine franchise taxation. In the hearing before the joint Ways and Means Commit- tee of the Senate and House the franchise-holding corpora- tions were represented by Judge H. 8. Priest, paid attorney of the St. Louis Transit Co.: Isaac H. Lionberger, Vice-Presi- dent of the Laciede GasCo., and William H. Phelps, profes- ~ — The people will not accept any such plea in jusfification or mitigation of the failure of the Legislature to do its duty. If the Legislature fails to pass a genuine and just franchise tax law the people will know that the failure is due to lobby influences. : In the city of St. Louis the Democratic party esks the peo- pie to intrust.{t with the task of reforming the municipal government. It expects the people to give the party a vote of confidence in the spring election. What is the ground of that expectation? Under the administration of Gov, .Stephens’ Police Commis- gioners the police force has been turned into a partisan po- litical machine with scandalous results. Under the Nesbit law passed by a Democratic Legislature and Election Commissioners appointed by Gov. Stephens the St. Louls elections were turned into a carnival of fraud. Under the Excise Commissioner appointed by Gov. Stephens saloon dens have flourished in defiance of law. If the Democratic majority in the Legislature shall again betray the people, violate the pledge of the party and yleid to the dictation of a corrupt lobby, what ground of appeal for popular confidence will the Democratic party have? If the Democrats misuse the power they have how can they expect the people to intrust them with more power? = = Newspaper criticism is designed to correct an evil, prevent a wrong or set an erring public official, who is capable of good work, right.

A long time ago—to be specific more than 1900 years—the lady Fan and the Son of Heaven, Emperor of China, wefe icvers. But he was fickle and she feared to lose him. So she sent him a fan with these verses im which her love and foreboding are apparent. They aré to be found in Herbert Giles’ “History of Chinese Literature.” ‘ “O fair white silk, fresh from the weaver’s loom, Clear as ihe frost, bright as the winter snow— “ee! friendship fashions out of thee a fan, Round as the round moon shines in heaven above, At home, abroad, a close companion thou, Stirring at every move the grateful gale. And yet I fear, ah, me! that autumn chills, Cooling the dying summer's torrid rage, Will see thee laid neglected on the shelf, All thought of bygone days like them bygone.”’ Quite human, wasn’t she, the lady Pan? And quite woman- ly according to modern western ideas. The people of the western world are prone to consider the Chinese outlandish folks hardly to be accepted as of the same species as themselves. And in pursuance of this idea they maltreat them in all manner of ways. Isn’t it about time to turn away from Chinese vices and study their virtues? Their civilization is said to be pretty much what it was when the Lady Pan wrote her verses. If so, may they not claim, at least, the consideration of human- ity? = =" —— Ww =—_- = If we are not to admit Russian beet sugar free of duty, the Russians will increase duties upon our hardware, cutlery, etc. Now, shall we destroy our Russian hardware trade, or shall we knock our infant beet sugar industry on the head?

The man, who said he was an Italian, pamed Vedova, disclaimed earnestly all fe- onious intentions, but could give no good me ount of himself. Scipion prosecuted him to eal, and he was convicted and sent Two years later Scipion met Vedova in a cafe and had him arrested as an es- caped convict. n the early part of 1852 Scipion recelved Official notification from Martinique that & bachelor cousin of his on the island whose name was Pache, was dead and had left him heir to all his property which was large, and included a valuable sugar Plantaticn. Desruelles was further in- formed by the notary at St. Jean. that it would be necessary for him to come in per- Son and administer on the estate in order to save “himself great loss and inconve- nience and rmany' delays. The bourgeois of Paris is not a travel- ing character, but neither is he willing Ze lose money if he can help it. Scipion wi, himself a trunk, committed ‘the lit- tle boutique in the Rue de Seine to mad- ame's charge—she was quite as compe- tent to take care of it as he—made a deed of all his property in Paris to madame as & preventive of accidents, and then bid- ding her the most tender adieu, sailed for Martinique, via Bordeaux, in a brig which took out a cargo of claret and oil for the French islands and New Orleans. When Desruelles reached Martinique and went to St. Jean, he- was simply struck dumb to find his cousin alive and well, and all the notarial papers he had re- ceived forgeries! There was nething for him to do but go Back again. The brig was to sail in a day for New Orleans, and Scipion determined to go thither in her, take the cars to New York and the steamer thence to Havre, in order to get home again as speedily as possible. He was burning to send the po- lice in search of the rascals who had hoaxed him and made him spend his money and suffer sea-sickness in a wild-goose chase. He was armed with all the pre- liminary depositions and statements neces- Sary to open the case, duplicates of which were to be forwarded by the authorities from Martinique. Arrived in New Orleans, Scipion deter- mined to spend.a day or two in the city before taking the cars for New York. He put up at a boarding house in the French quarter, and devoted himself to sight- seeing with great aSssiduity. While at breakfast the second morning after his arrival he» was warmly. greeted by a stranger. who took his hand and said: “IT am truly delighted to see you, Monsieur Quentineau! When did you arrive?’’ Scipion gently informed the man that he — not Quentineau, but Scipion Des- ruelles. , The stranger with great violence said that the dodge wouldn’t go down there! Next thing he’d want to repudiate that bill of $725 he owed Marais & Hughes. Scipion said he had only been in the city a day, had never seen the stranger before, nor knew he who or what Marais & Hughes were—consequently could not pos- sibly owe them or anybody else anything. An hour later Scipion was arrested on a warrant taken out by Marais & Hughes, liquor dealers in Canal street, against Pierre Quentineau, an absconding debtor, Scipion Desruelles, alias Quentineau, was cast into .prison. He found a lawyer, and with great difficulty, and at the cost of half his money, proved that he was not Quentineau, but Scipion Desruelles, a pas- senger aboard the brig Braganza of Bor- deaux. But for the captain he would have been convicted, for several witnesses swore that he was ,.uentineau. As soon as Scipion was released he went to the levee.and embarked on a steamer for Memphis, intending to make his way thence by rail to New York. At Memphis he was misdirected, enticed into a low groggery under the bluffs and robbed of every cent he had left. Scipion found his way to the mayor of the city, who promised to write to the French con- sul at New Orleans about it and to send the police in séarch of the thieves. Scipion meantime wrote to Paris fo mad- ame for a remittance, and went about in search of a situation. A cotton broker gave him some correspondence with Louis- iana creole planters to look after, and he was thus enabled to earn enough to eat. But no answer nor remittance came from madame, and our poor exile could not make money enough to take him home. At last he wrote to his cousin in Martinique, stating his circumstances, and _ received shortly after in reply a draft for 2500 francs. Scipion immediately bought himself some clothes and necessaries, took the cars and started for New York. Here, while waiting for the sailing of the Havre steamer, he was again arrested as being Pierre Quentineau, a fugitive from | justice and a bond forger. By the merest good luck the cotton broker in whose employ he had been in phis happened to be in the citv, and Scipion was able to establish an alibi. steamer, and he had to get another one in New York, being thus delayed a weex. Finally. to his intense joy, he was out- side Sandy Hook on his return voyage. Arrived at Havre, he was accosted on the quay by a customs officer with, “Eh bien!

The case was sent before the court d’as- sizes, and was tried by the president. A great number of witnesses were called, and the whole question turned upon the iden- tity .of the prisoner, by the mutual agree- ment of parties, for the reason that if the accused were Desruelles his account of how he received the gold Napoleons (ad- mitted to be counterfeit) was probable; but it he were Quentineau, no defense was possible. Quentineau was established to be a desperate charcter, who had been. several times convicted of minor offenses, such as smuggling, and was more than suspected of being a criminal of much deeper dye— a counterfeiter and forger. The testimony of the customs officers at Havre and of the dame du comptoir at Rouen was first taken, and then a mass of palice testimony to prove the Desruelles was unquestionably Quentineau. This was chiefly from the provinces, Quentineau having apparently operated very little in the capital. At the outset the defense experienced an unexpected difficulty. There were some hundred of witnesses willing to swear. that they knew Desruelles perfectly well, but not nearly SO many who were satisfied that the pris- onerewas that person.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2.—Miss May Kaarius, the girl billiard expert, describes several more of the difficult shots which have mace her famous. One is termed “May’s own masse,’’ be- cause it was evolved by herself. It is a masse such as few of the strongest billiard players in the world can perform. It is one of those shots that require all the strength one can concentrate in the _ uplifted, straightened arm. What makes it all the more difficult 1s that it is made with the left hand. When @20 tries it he wil! find that a miscue is the result of his efforts. But as in everything else, there is a way of doing it right. “The cue and object bal] are very close smear on the lower rail, while the carom ball is almost frozen against the Ieft-hand upper corner,’’ explains Miss Kaar|us. “With the cue held in the left hand and uplifted, just as every masse is played, the j—o—e—_o__0—_o_ 0 _4 0 _¢- ‘cue ball fs. hit sharply on the side toward | the carom ball.

But ic is quickly released and the play from cue to object ball is made and the cue ball meets the carom bal! just as it reaches the right upper corner after having been thrown around the table. “To explain this shot seems an impossi- bility.

None of them took effect, but ithe highwaymen took fright and ran away. Smith had left the basement of the court- house for a moment on some errand. The men were standing on the north the building. As he came out from the east side they sprang on him together, one of them striking him a heavy blow in face, which knocked him down.

The Evidencé is Furnished by the Secretary of the Board of Trade of Wells- burg, New York, and Can- not be Doubted. The popular secretary of the Wells- burg, v v. Board of Trade is Mr. W. J. Dalton, and his statement to a reporter regarding one of the most_ important events of his life carries with it greatest weight. It ts unusual for a per- son to be aiflicted from childhood with rheumatism, but it is even wonderful that there is a remedy so exactly suited to the treament of this stubborn disease that one hundred doses were sufficient to eradicate it in a case of twenty years standing. The proof that such a remedy is within the reach of all rheumatic suf- ferers is found in Mr. Dalton’s own words. He says: “I had been troubled with rheumatism all my life, even when a boy. It attacked me in the legs, arms and shoulders. not obtain permanent relief. One day about three years ago while had taken but three boxes of the pills when the trouble, which had been my affliction from childhood, entirely disap- peared. “About a year later I had another at- tack of rheumatism which was brought on by working in a damp place. I re- membered well what Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People had done for me, so I immediately purchased some. Strangely enough just three boxes again cured me, and I have been entirely free from rheu- matism ever since. I have told a number of people about Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, and they have taken them with the most beneficial results.” (Signed) W. J. DALTON. All the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves, are contained in a con- densed form, in Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. They are an unfailing specific for such diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus’ dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache, the after-effects of the grip, _palpitation of the heart, pale and sallow ' complexions, and all forms of weakness either in male or female.
