MODJEsKA tells story about her
honeymoon that is somewhat amusing.
When the Count and Countess Bozenta
went on their wedding trip, 1 think it
was to Paris, I am not sure, it does not
matter, one morning she had just got
up, and the count had been out for an
hour or two, taking morning walk.
He came back and appeared to be ex-
cited.
"Helen! Helen! come here.''
"What is it?'
"Come here, quick. I've brought
you some lovely fruit, the first on the
market"
''All right, Pm dressing. I'll come
out as soon as get ready''
She dressed leisurely and came out of
her room. The count was sitting read
ing, deeply interested in his work. She
looked around. No fruit was to be
seen. She looked all over the place.
The count looked up.
'What are you looking for?''
"Where'S that fruit?"
The count looked on the table. 1t
was not there.
"Well," he said. ''I'll be hanged if l
haven't eaten it."

LONDON, Aug 12.-Mrs. Maybrick had
another long interview with her mother
who was permitted to remain in her cell
for several hours. The condemned wo-
man is much better than she has been at
any time since the death sentence was
pronounced. She has been assured by
all who have access to her that every
thing possible is being done to save her
from the terrible fate which stares her
in the face, and she has in great meas
ure recovered her spirits and now looks
more hopefully into the future. The pc
titions to the home secretary in her be-
half are assuming large proportions,
hundreds of people in different parts OF
England having interested themselves
to secure signatures.
Petitions were circulated in all the
dissenting churches in Liverpool, mlnis-
ters taking pains to explain to the con-
gregations that the statements that the
expense of the defense had been borne
by Briefly, the unfortunate woman's
paramour, were untrue.

LONDON. Aug. 1e.-Reports of the un-
healthy condition of the prisons in which
Irish political prisoners are confined are
causing considerable excitement and the
government naturally comes in for its
share of the blame. Many OF the more
excitable critics of Mr.. Balfour do not
hesitate to charge that tha worst pest
holes among the Irish prisons are pur-
posely selected for the incarceration Of
those convicted of violation of the crimes
act.
The condition of the prison at Fal-
carragh particularly is referred TO as a
disgrace to civilization, and il is pointed
out that, although the attention of the
authorities has been called to it repeat
edly within the past year, nothing has
ever been done TO remove the danger Of
an epidemic to which IT'S filthy condition
has been standing invitation.
On Thursday last John MCGEE was re-
leased from this pest hole in pitiable
condition, and when he reached his
home it was only to die the next day OF
typhus fever. He had entered the
prison q picture of health and strength.
He came out physical wreck. Another
prisoner, man named Frieze, who was
only released a few days ago, is also
dead from typhus fever contracted
while in confinement.

ELIZABETH, N. j.. Aug. 1e.--Not in
years have the usually sedate people of
Elizabeth been so worked up as they
have been for the past five months by
the outrages perpetrated by the prowIer
who is known by the names of "Peeping
Tom" or "Jack the Pepper" This mys-
terious character seems to delight in en-
tering women's sleeping apartments at
night and rousing the occupants. So
persistent has he been Of late that 1t
seems as If he had no fear of the police
or anybody else, for that matter.
Arrested ON Suspicion.
Daniel Cobb, aged 80, has been arrested
by order Of Chief OF Police Austin and
locked in a cell at police headquarters on
suspicion of being the miscreant so much
feared. The chief refused to say what

times already, and appears very nervous
over the result in this case. He will be
confronted by several of the women
whose apartments have been invaded.
A Victim Frightened 20 Death.
Among the recent nocturnal adven-
tures the one that perhaps was the most
daring, and the consequences of which
have been the most serious, IL the VIC
TINS friends are to be believed. was his
entrance into the bedroom of Mrs. John
Mccarthy, who was very III with con-
sumption. 1t is asserted that the shock
she received on that occasion greatly
hastened her death. While the physi-
clan attending her will not express any
opinion on the matter, there is little
doubt that the woman's enfeebled sys-
tenn received shock sufficient to cause
the change that rapidly followed and re-
suited in her death.

|Frenoh appropriation Of $200yO0OyOO0 is
equal to one-ninth Of the whole cost Of
the last wal, including the big indem-
nifty paid oyer to the Germans at its
close. These two nations must either
come to an amicable basis and reduce
their military and naval appropriations
very soon, or else SO into another wal
and settle the question of supremacy in
Europe for another long period.
France has q public debt Of more than
$500,00OyO0O. which is increasing at the
rate of $1OO,OO0,OOOa year, while at the
same time her revenues show a most dis
quieting tendency to fall of. Finance
used to be her strong point. 1t is SO no
longer. For several years past the con-
diti0n of the French finances has been
going from bad to worse. Expenditures
have exceeded receipts, and every now
and then it has been necessary to issue
fresh bonds for the purpose Of redeeming
the floating debt. Intelligent French
men who are not mere politicians have
long regarded the situation with alarm
and have seen that the republic is in
danger of a financial shipwreck. And
each Of the great continental nations ID
being subjected to the same terrible
financial strain. Twelve millions Of
men are under arms, and the expendi-
ture Of money On fleets and forts and the
munitions Of wal grows steadily greater.
This can not be maintained indefinitely.
The time will come when war itself will
be preferred to peace at such a price.

FRANCE AS A REPUBLIC.

France is sweeping rapidly toward an
other revolution. Almost every move of
her officials is aimed at repression Of
liberty, and yet the average Frenchman
loves liberty
Evidently the French nation is as
much under the heel Of its military
party as the German nation. On both
sides of the Rhine the people have been
persuaded that they must 60 on spend
ing prodigious sums to prepare for inev-
liable war. For the present, however,
there is to be peace, simply because they
are not yet fully prepared. When France
has spent her s2OO,OOO,OO0 on the eastern
fortresses, and obtained one or two more
appropriations Of similar size for other
preparatory work, France will be all
ready to settle old scores with young
william II.
Meantime, Germany's wal budgets are
Just as heavy and grievous to be borne.
It is quite clear that these monstrous ex-
penditures can not 70 on forever. Both
countries are now spending more In
peace than II would cost them 70 70 10,
