Crazed by whisky.

New YoRK, April PA dispatch
from Paris says: Tho trial on tho
charge Of murder OF Augusta Herbellot,
ono OF tho bost hnO~.-. -.i,s 4 - s.-..
and who has accumulated small for
tune by his gastronomic ability, opened
at the Seine assizes today. Six weeks
ago while crazed with liquor he became
involved in a quarrel with his wifo,
and In moment OF maddened frenzy
seized his little 4-year-old girl from tho
bed whore she was asleep and literally
cut tho head of its body with a razor.
His mothor-in-law seized tho trunk OF
the infant and was endeayoring to es-
cape from the room when the madman
turned upon her and carved her about
tho face and neck, inflicting injuries
from which she died about two hours
later Finally he chased his wife to an
upper apartment and before she could
lock herself In sliced large piece OF
flesh from her face Tho servants
would also have suffered had 1t not been
for tho fact that they had locked them
selves in tho kitchen. Herbellot then
calmy walked with the blood-dripping
razor in his hand to the nearest police
station and gave himself into custody.
He is defended by ablo counsel. Tho
defense Is insanity, but it Is thought
certain he will expiate his crime on tho
scaffold OF the gulllotinc.

WILL SOON BE FREE
Mrs, Jas, G. Blaine, Jr,, Will Be
in South Dakota Ninety Days.
Scenes Of Riot and BIoodshed in
the Coke Regions-A Brave
Sheriff.

Sioux FALLS, April 24,-Tho divorce
laws of South Dakota are beginning to
bring forth rich harvest, and this city
seems to DO tho great market point.
The latest arrival is Mrs. James &.
Blaine, jr., who has taken rooms at tho
Cataract hotel, and will become a per.
manent citizen OF South Dakota---for
ninety days. Sho is accompanied by
her maid and 3-year-old son. In
Maine it takes three years to obtain a
divorce, and there tho father is given
possession OF his children. TO this
Mrs Blaine naturally objects, and in
looking around for state where the
laws lean toward the mother and at the
same time give speedy results
she hit upon South Dakota
where everything Is just as
she could want it. Here three mon tbs
will sever the strongest matrimonial
knot ever tied, and time is generally y
the essence of everything in divorce.
The wise law makers Of this state evil
IDENTIFY saw and appreciated the condi-
tions lowering around the unhappily
mated, and while these statesmen have
appeared heartless and at times AYl-
ward when dealing with other nyrtcro,
especially money loaners and CORPORA
tions, they touched gently and feelingly
the matrimonial enigma.
The history OF the Blaine trou-
bic is not against the young
wife. She simply became mated to a
mean, worthless man, who misuscd and
i'll treated her. His mother is said not
to bo spotloss in the trouble, but by her
naughty and cynical treatment of her
daughter-in.law bclittled and humilia-
ted her beyond endurance. The mar
riage occurred in 1886, in New York,
and was clandestine. Mrs. Marie
Blaine is the daughter Of Dick Novins,
OF Youngstown, o., highly educated
and very pretty. Palmer and Rodge, of
this city, are her attorneys. Owing TO
the prominence of the parties to the di-
vorce suit, the matter will be watched
with interest

THE TWO DAK0TAS
Events Occurring in These Two
Young Commonwealths.
The Crop Outlook and Conditions
= General Rainfali-Reportcd
Gold Discovery.

IIURoN, S. D., April 21.-The United
States signal oflice has issued the fol-
lowing weekly crop bulletin for the two
Dakotas: "rhe temperature has been
slightly below the seasonal average,
while cloudy weather and rain has pre-
vailed. The rainfall was considerably
above the average in most sections.
Some localities report unusually heavy
rains for so early in the season. Seed
ing has been interrupted some by frost,
but more by rain. There is, however, a
total absence of complaint, as there is
still ample time for this work, and a
general average Of reports shows the
ground in better seasonal condition
than for the past seven years. In most
OF the southern counties of South Da-
kota wheat seeding is practically COM
pleted, while it is satisfactorily ad-
vanccd over the remainder OF the state,
except probably in tho northern tier OF
counties. In North Dakota seeding Is
not general on account Of frost and wet
weather, but considerable has been
done nevertheless. A number of CORE
spOndents in South Dakota report early
sown wheat and rye growing nicely,
and the report Is general that grass Is
growing rapidly. In southern South
Dakota potato planting has begun. On
the whole the week is considered favor
able to crop production.

He Is Accused of Transiating Notes to Sec

PARIS, April 23.-Baron Fava will 60
to Rome today. He conveys the official
correspondence with tho United States
government in chest, over which a
military guard has watched ever since
Baron Fava landed at Havre. The
baron maintains reticence but it is as
serted that he differs much with mis-
government regarding the manner in
which Italy should treat the United
United States. The baron Is accused of
lapsus calami in translating the first
Italian note communicated to Mr..
Blaine. Italy demanded the giudieiro
OF the lynchers, which Baron Fava
wrongly translated punishment" 1t
Is further considered that Baron Fava
exaggerated the tone of Marquis di
Rudini's protest, or that he did not
comprehend the meaning. Italy, it is
maintained, was compelled to assume
an air OF decision In order not to break
too suddenly the Crispi traditions in the
Italian foreign policy.

ARTIFICIAL RUBiES.
Experiments Have at Last Proven Very
kuCccasful,

Experiments Have at Last Proven Very
Successful.
New York, April pa dispatch
from Paris says that the Academy of
Arts today issued pamphlet regarding
the experiments which have been con-
Quoted for several years past for tho arr
tificisl production OF rubies by NM.
Frenzy and Verneuil, and the data given
indicates that they have finally been
successful in overcoming the difficulties
which attended the manufacture, and
are now obtaining much larger crystals.
The artificial rubies have already been
found to be equal to the natural stones
In point OF hardness. The process, 1t Is
understood. consists OF heating alumina
and trace of potassium bichromate
with barium huoride, and mixture Of
fuorides of the alkaline earths TO a
high temperature for several days.
Recent progress has been due TO tho
discovery that the addition OF a small
quantity OF potassium carbonate to tho
mixture so as TO render the fused mass
alkaline facilitates the formation of the
crystals. 1t Is believed that the crys-
tails are produced directly from the in
teraction OF volatile compounds pro-
duced, and employing crucibles Of sew
eral litres capacity in gas furnaces. as
much as three kilos OF rubies are OBJ
tanned in a single operation.
