arrest on the oath of March last. The de-

tails OF the charge were
so HORRIBLE
that secret inquiry was had, and the re-
suit of this has been the conviction of the
prisoner and the publication of the scandal.
The defense was that the mother of the
girls had sold their persons to the professor;
that she had compelled him during the
period of his relations with the girls to pay
her in all the sum of $4,000 marks, and
that her prosecution was instigated solely
by his refusal to be further blackmailed.
New developments continue TO manifest
themselves in the case of Empress Carlotta.
1t will be remembered the empress recently
celebrated the forty-tifth anniversary of her
birth and that it was announced marked
improvement had taken place in her men
tai and bodily health. DR.. Smith, the spe-
cialiSt charged with the custody of the un-
fortunate lady, after an extended observa-
ton of her ailment, now reports that he
can find no basis for any hope that the EN-
press will have any permanent recovery
from her malady. He says she is possessed
by persistent delusion that Macmillan is
alive, that he is working out brilliant deS
tiny and that he will soon be emperor of
the whole world. She spends much of her
time in searching for him in the rooms and
garden of her chateau at Bonchant. In her
calmer moods she holds receptions. These
are limited to the ladies of the Belgian
court and toward them all the empress
maintains an extremely dignifed and i'm
perial mien. One phase of Carlotta's insan-
ity is remarkable. She has conceived yio-
lent passion for making purchases OF
COSTLY COURT COSTUMES.
She is permitted to indulge in this passion
and as she buys with exquisite taste, the
costumes are subsequently sold, generally
without loss, and often with great profit,
to ladies of high standing in Brussels.
Queen Victoria's family gathering at
Balmoral castle in Scotland includes the
Duke and Duchess OF Connaught and their
children; the Duchess of Albany, and Prince
Henry of Battenberg and his wife, the
Princess Beatrice. Visitors to Balmoral
describe the daily life at the castle as one
of extreme simplicity. The household is
managed economically and even parse
moniously. The servants are held to strict
account, and it is alleged the larder is not
free to the sluggards who prefer sleep to
breakfast at The Duke OF Newcastle, 1t Is
reported, has joined the Roman Catholic
church. The conversion took place some
time ago, it is said, but the avoWal was
postponed until the young duke attained
his majority. This conversion has caused
much annoyance in established church
circles. The duke has great influence and
has an income of $780, 900 a year. Miss
Ellen Terry is negotiating for dramatic
tour unaccompanied by Mr.. Henry Irving.
Mr.. Sims, the dramatist, has successfully
undergone very dangerous operation for
the removal of cancer from his upper jaw.
A part of the jaw itself had to be cut away,
and Nh Sims underwent the ordeal with
the assistance of chloroform. Nine. Car
lotta Patti has met with serious accident.
She fell down a flight of stairs in Paris
and dslocated her thigh. In consequence
of this, her tour with Mr.. Strakosch has
been abandoned. Signor Salyini and his
party left Hayre to-day for New York
aboard the steamship Normandie. His
American season will begin Oct. 26 in the
Metropolitan opera house.
