A DRUNKEN CANADIANS CRIME.
He Kills His Wife, Children and Mother
in-Law.

INV
ST. ANNE DE LA PERADE, Que, Feb.
25.-A most atroeious crime was com
mitted In the village Of st. Adams Sun
day, where Rudolph Dubois murdered
his wife and mother-in-law and his two
children. Dubois had been on bad
terms with his mother-in-law for some
time and quarrels between thom were
frequent. Sunday after the usual
squabble he went out, and when he re-
turned was drunk. He renewed the
quarrel, and with an ak struck down his
mot~her-in-law, literally backing her to
pieces. He then gave his wife q terri
BILE cash on the head. Then he went
up stairs and decapitated his 4-months'-
old baby and struck on the head his son
Joseph. Throwing the ak down he es-
capped to the woods. When the crime
was discovered his wife was still alive,
but she died after telling the frightful
story. The whole village turned out to
hunt for the murderer, but he had q
couple Of hours the start Of his pursuers,
and at last accounts had not been cap
tured,

AUDITORIUM OPERA.
How "Somnambuia" Was sung In Chicago
In the Good Old style.

How 'ssomnambuia" Wa sung In Chicago
In h Good Old Style.
Chicago Times.
OF course it goes without saying that
At was done in the old Italian concert
style Of doing opera. The chorus stood
around in or irregular ~curve--for the
most part stolid and inactive. Patti. or
whoever else had o solo, pranced up to
the footlights and fred the song over
them at the audience, pranced back at
the first break in the melody to the
chorus line, Chen pranced down and
fred another volley over the prompter's
head or joined hands with anybody with
whom o duet was to be sung, and the
two leaned together, like an OK team
with a heavy load, and warbled ut the
center Of the house. And as one looked
on and listened one could not but think
that 1t was this utterly senseless man
ner Of presenting IL quite as much as its
honeyed melody that lay at the source
Of the revolt against Italian opera,
which has we'll nigh driven it out Of
the most m~usicslly advanced nations in
the world.

What New Workers Think.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-The fight
over the worlds fair site is regarded as
finally settled by the action OF the
house last night New York's leading
representatives accept defeat calmly
and philosophically and consider 1T
final. They say New York, despite
many drawbacks, made o gallant fight,
and 10Y that they have been beaten
they bow gracefully to the situation and
intend to do what they can TO make
the fair a success. Chicago, the New
York leaders think, has taken a tre-
mendous responsibility upon herself.
They express the hope and belief that
she will succeed, but Depew. Grant,
Flower and others say that Chi
cago is Understanding the cost.
Depew said last night: "New York
went into this contest expecting to win.
II the vote had been taken four weeks
ago We are confident that wo would
have won. We feel that we have lost
by our foolish quarrels. We accept the
verdict with equanimity and will do our
best TO make the fair at Chicago the
phenomenal success Of the century.
Chicago has assumed the most frightful
responsibility that ever a great munich
pality undertook. The most marvellous
