She turned her face to the wall and
simply said. Il want to die" and as she
spoke those words her life came to an
end. Yesterday she was buried III
Greenwood Cemetery. Her career from
the moment when Therese Theraud she
tapit;.ted young Paris until her death on
Friday in this city, under the name OF
Cora Stanley, is public property. On
one OCCASION did she nearly betray her
incognito.s One of her friends heard her
sing,
''Je Paine! Je rAime! o Bretagne."
He said,
"Why, Therese, you must be a Bre'
TON"
Her eyes filed with tears, and she has
tiIy left the salon. When he sought ler
he found that she was crying bitter
and she said,
Dear friend, never speak to me in
that way again, you make me SO sad
She was compelle. to leave Paris, and
decided 70 make her home on this con-
tinent. Before her departure she gave
to her friends and companions in Paris
grand farewell banquet. at which she
babe them farewell She left France
with 100000 francs, 100000 dollars.
The next heard of her was at Havana.
where she lived in magnificent style
In Havana young and handsome ac-
tor named Gomez fell deeply in love
with her. She loved him with as much
sincerity. One night after the perform
ance at the Tacon Theatre, where he
was playing, Gomez went with Therese
to her residence, and proposed to marry
her. At first she laughed at him, but
seeing that he meant what he said, she
reasoned with him, and said that if she
married his prospects in life would be
ruined, and she loved him too dearly to
do that The infatuated young man
went to his hotel, and blew out his
brains. He left note, addressed to
Therese, saying that he found life unen-
durable without her, and that he would
not forget her even in death. When the
news of his suicide was br ken to her
she was seized with brain fever, and for
some weeks she wasat the door of death.
She recovered to find herself almost a
beggar.
During her illness her maid had stolen
all her jewelry and fled to the noun
tains with another servant. She then
sold her house in Havana, came to this
city and assumed the name of Cora
Stanley. She dispensed charity with
no niggard hand, and the poor and
starving never went away hungry from
her door, To the charitable societies
she gave largely and to the shame of
the officers Of one be it said that when
she needed aid at their hands she found
it not. At last he" star began to set.
Consumption seized upon her The most
eminent physicians in the city could not
avert her death. For three years she
fingered on. Twoyears ago she found
her wealth gone, a d was compelled to
take room in an obscure French hotel.
She died in decent poverty.-New York
Times.

The excited young lady here pulled
oul an old tobacco pouch, round which Il
piece of buck-skin string was coiled, and
proceeded to unite it, The young limb
OF the law whose eyes had been wan

strange apparltion, stanmenngly re-

RAINFALL TO THE SQUARE RoD.-Prof
Edward 0rton, in a lecture recently de-
livered in Cincinnati, said
"The average annual rainfall of Cen
trai Ohio, is forty inches. Every square
rod of surface must receive about 800
gallons of rain annually Supposing two
thirds escape as surface drainage, a rood
would still furnish 10000 gallons to the
reservoir below. Reduced to another
standard, we should find more than sew
enteen tons of water descending through
the area"
