TO the third quarter was 1871. The
runner pressed her closely down the
stretch, and Marvin, her driver, applied
the whip but Sunol did not make the
slightest skip, and passed under the
wire at 2:lO1S. When the time was an

The rumOr which was current on the
bouievards of Paris few DAYS ago that
Mmc. de Castiglione, the notorious
favorite of Napoleon III. was dead.
revives a Number of recollections of
the once famous beauty.
In the year 1859 there appeared in
Paris a Count and Countess de Cas-
iiglione. They were Italians of good
family. who bore with them letters OF
introduction TO the best houses in i'm
perial society. They appeared TO have
plenty of money at their disposal, took
a handsome hotel on what was then
called rAvenue de Imperatice now
known as rAvenue du Bots de Bou-
logne, and entertained in an unosten-
tatiOus manner. Mime. de Castiglione's
beauty soon became the talk of the
town.
Neve" had Paris seen such perfec-
ton in womankind. TWAS impossible
for painter or sculptor to find fault
with her features or the lines OF her
figure.
She was a brunette with a rich,
clear southern complexion. Her eyes.
of deep violet. were shaded with long
black lashes. which boulevardiers de-
elared took her half an hour every
morning TO unknot Her hair was
blue-black. Her nose was of the bold
i.oman type. which is so rapidly dis
appearing in fair Italy. When she
opened her luscious red lips she dis
closed two dazzling rows of faultless
teeth.
But beautiful as Mime. de Castig-
liones face was. many thought her
figure even more perfect Her arm
was a dream, and a model Of her foot
is still preserved as "a thing OF beauty
and JOY forever" among people who
live and reveled in Napoleon Ills
brilliant court
The Italian beauty soon succeeded in
gaining the Emperor's favor, and the
Carbongri of Italy, whose cnmity he
had gained through his wrestling from
Italy the fair province of Savoy.

her to iuveigle him to some place

next night, at the opera, he would

Memories of spies and His Compan-

CHICAGO, Nov. fO.--The feature ot the
Anarchist demonstration Sunday was
its utter lack of the enthusiasm which
generally characterizes the gatherings
Of the Anarchists. Less than 1000
people visited Waldheim Cemetery
to decorate the graves of the
executed Anarchists, and scarcely half
of those listened 10 the speeches. The
speeches we're mildness itself compared
with those delivered lass year. The
only incident which occurred through
ont the day was the removal by the POI
lice of red flag displayed from win
dow by Mrs. Lucy Parsons.
ST.. Louis. Nov. 1I.-About $50 An
archists, accompanied by their wives
and children. assembled at Working
mems Hall Saturday to commemorate
the execution in Chicago two years ago.
The walls were heavily draped and pict-
ures of the seven Anarchists were hung
on the stage and draped in black. All
the Anarchists wore red badges with
Grape half concealing the flaming in
sigma. Several speeches were made in
which dead Anarchists were held up as
heroes without peer.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, Nov. 1.-THE an
niversary of the execution Of the Chi
cago Anarchists was celebrated at La
fayette Hall in this city Saturday night.
The hall, which holds about / 900 people,
was crowded with a mixed assemblage
OF men, women and children. Great en-
thusiasm prevailed and the speeches,
which were of an anarchistic nature,
were heartily applauded. A series of
tableaux representing the death of the
Chicago leaders and the ultimate VIC
tory of the revolutionists was the prin-
cipal feature of the celebration. There
was no disturbance and no interference
BY the police.
PARIS, Nov. l1.--About 500 Anarchists
attended a meeting in the Belleville
district Sunday to commemorate the
