A fearful tragedy, the hero of which was The
odore Popei, a young Russian officer, the he
rome one Jeanne Perron fgurante at the The
atre of the Chateau d'Eau. barely out of her
teens, was enacted yesterday. The Muscovte
who was son of the prelate of the church, and
was in Paris on regular leave made the acquain-
lance of his fair flame at one of the cafes kept
open in the small hours of the night for the ac-
cOmmOdatiOn of those who are addicted to
going the pace" He Courted her from the
very first for what the French call lie bon
motif THAT is to say, be wanted her to marry
him. but the young woman had very different
ideas of life, and treated all Of his proposals to
become Madam Popel and to accompany him to
Russia with ridicule.
At an early hour yesterday morning the couple
with dreSSmaker who was an intimate friend
of Jeanne Perron, betook themselves to a
fashionable restaurant, where they Supped.
Popel. who had been drinking freely, returned
repeatedly to the charge and besought the
hgtrdnte to marry him At O'Clock the PARTY
after providing themselves with a bottle of
brandy for refreshment on the road, took cab
and drove to small hotel where a room was
engaged TO which they all repaired Jeanne Per

who was in state of terrible excitement
There. after emptying half the brandy bottle
Popel took two rings from his pocket and pre-

he had married her, and called on her friend to
witness the fact He then said that ne W shed

Great Good Luck of Deserving Old
Soldier in Kentucky.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Jack Smith lives about three miles south Of
| Owingsyie, Ky He has a wife and a large
! family Of children who report says, have mainly
slbsisted by the charity of kind neighbors and
the few pennies contributed to the father for
playing the violin whenever a crowd Of people
would cOngregate in his neighborhood
The story Of Smiths rise in fortune is not de-
void of romantic interest He had been soldier
IN the Federal army and served all through the
late war
There was never any doubt on the part OF
those who knew him that he was entitled TO
pension from the government, as he certainly
contracted the disease which destroyed his eye
sight while in the service But as his service
had been with an Illinois regiment, and "a smith
was both very poor and illlterate, he had never
been able to secure the required proofs and all
bis previous efforts to get a pension had been
failures. A few days since, however gentle
man acquainted with the circumstances advised
Smith to 90 to Washington city and present his
claims in person. and being furnished with the
necessary funds, he went on 10 the national
capital, on what was generally supposed fruit
less errand
But To- who should Smith find but the com
mander of his old regiment in the person of
Commissioner Black of the Pension Once
From this on Smith had but little difficulty in
claims 10 the pension which had been due him
for years, and Immediately returned to his lowly
home, laden with wealth far beyond his widest
dreams. being allowed the sum of Sl3,913 as
back pay, S13 a month for the rest of his life.
Smith is apparently not over 45 years old, and.
from all outward appearance, will live many
year to enjoy Uncle Sans muniticenCI.

The Cars Silence.

The Gar is saying very little, and his ST.
lence causes more alarm probably than
his threats would. There is no doubt
that he is making vast preparations for
war but nobody knows whether he intends
war or not He is not the kind of man to
submit quietly TO having his purposes de-
feated, and ii is probable that Prince Ferdi-
nand of Bulgaria will soon hear from him
again. He has told the Prince that he must
vacate the Bulgarian throne, but the throne
has such an attraction for the youth that

powers Austria is the strongest, but
as yet she has promised him nothing be
yond moral support 1t is doubtful if she
would fight for him. She hates Russia, of
course, and is ready to go at great lengths
to crafty her hatred, but she is not likely
to make great sacrifices to crafty it.
The other great powers are not particu
larry interested in maintaining Prince Ferdi-
nand on the throne of Bulgaria. What they
object to is "a creature of Russia as the ruler
of that country. 1t is probable that they

Ferdmand's successor is to be before
they will consent to his going
II they can agree upon his successor he
will have to obey the will of Russia In
the meantime he appears to be quite happy
He is conducting himself pretty much as if
he expected to stay where he is the remain
der of his life. He appears to satisfy the
Bulgarians, and it may be that he hopes
that the political situation will so change
that he will not be disturbed If he enter
tains such hopes they are false ones. The
Car would favor more Objectionable

The surrounding politicians pricked up their

reply. DO you see that young man at the tcle-
