New YORK, Got. z6.-A startling story
10 related here a. coming from Japs by
way Ut Paris. IL is that one Of the
most beautiful women America has ever
produced has been beheaded there
through special edict of the Miksdo.
secured through his prime minister.
The WON An was the Countess Pourtales.
nee Mrs. John Beecher of New York,
The decapitation was caused through
the Japanese prime minister's love, ieaI-
ousy and revenge. Every New Yorker
remembers Mr.. Lloyd Phoenix's Irritation
with Mrs. Beeoher-how she shot al him
as he passed mp his sisters steps on
Fifth avenue, and how after her husband
separated from her she fed to Europe
IN pursuit Of Mr.. PhHnnix. In Paris
Mrs. Beecher began life Of luxurious
pleasure. One OF her Arst suitors was
Count Pourtales, whose first wife was
the beautiful daughter of Ben Holiday.
Mrs. Beecher and the count were soon
married, and sailed for Jaran. For q
time she led court circles, but soon, il il
alleged, tired of her husband, and be-
gan flirting with French oiicer. The
coant now claimed that they were not
legally married. aud sailed for France,
abandoning the countess in Japan. The
next steamer brought the countess to
Paris. About three months after her
advent IN Paris, she met French colo
mel, who fell In Iowa with her. They
were married, but he returned to Japan
with her. Her propensity TO fiirt again
manifested itself, and her third husband,
30 called, abandoned her. As soon as
the colonel had gone, the countess be-
came the wife Of the prime minister, one
of the wealthiest and most influential
men in Japan. Ii is alleged that the
prime minister Was 30 jealous of her that
ne would net let her talk with any gen.
tleman. Such life did not suit the
countess, so one day she ran away and
becams attached to another japanese
Official. The affair 80 sxasperated the
prime minister that he went TO the Mi
kado and prevailed upon him to issue
an especial ediot condeming the ooun-
tess to be decapitated. Her fourth hus-
band, 80 called, was imprisoned. The
news has come to New York that the
edict was carried out, and the beautiful
and lovely countess was actually decap-
itated.

Our Hsrbor Improvement.

Many simple and stingy persons COM
plain that the improvements at San Pc
dro harbor are too expensive, and ~
worth what they will cost. That idea
is simply ridiculous. The works at San
Pedro have not cost 100000 and have
been worth millions Of dollars to this
part of the country. In other parts of
the United States people are willing to
expsnd large sums Of money to promote
the safety and capacity Of their harbors
and roadsteads. Many Of the most
Promin snt hArbors on the great lakes
are almost entirely artificial. and have
cost millions Of dollars. They have not
half the natural advantages of San Pc.
dro. and would be very unsafe without
breakwater.
In addition to tho present breakwater
at Chicago the people Of that enterpris-
ing city are determined to make an is-
land in Lake Michigan, opposite the
present harbor. The magnitude Of this
venture can be understood when it 10
known that the plans contemplate an
area Of forty acres. This island Is to be
guarded by q breakwater seventeen feet
in height. II is to be placed one mile
from the shore, whore the depth Of the
water Averages eighteen feet. On the
shore side Is 10 be land locked harbor
Of seven acres. to admit lake craft Of any
size. The land is to be formed Of sand
and clay dredged from the lake. The
face Of the island is to be irregular. and
the summit Of the gradual swell ia to
be the site for grand hotel. The pro-
jsctors number several experienced en-
ginecrs, and have made their estimates
on the basis Of total expenditure Of g,
900, ,OO0s 1t Is thought that the resort
would prove popular as place for Sun-
mer cottages.

Safe Deposit Company.


The great number of bnrglaries in the
city is calling the attention of the people
to the necessity of putting their valua-
bles in some safe place. Such place
has been prepared by Messrs. Rogers,
Byrain 4 Co. in the vault formerly occu-
pied by the Farmers and Merchants
Bank. where they have placed large
number of fire and burglar proof boxes
Of chilled steel. These boxes are rented
by individuals by the year, who put
whatever kind of property they choose
In them. The firN does not know the
contents Of the boxes and cannot have
access to them, as they are all double
locked, and while the firm hold one key
the lessee has another, aud neither can
get into them without the aid of the
other. Then spring cap is placed ever
the lock, which can only be removed by
the key Of the lessee to get at the outer
lock. The keys Of the boxes are all diff
ferent aud protection is complete. The
system is well worth an examination by
those who have valuables to lay in a
safe place.
