A wealthy Young Partisan Shunnnd
for His ParrnIks Crime.


[From the San Francisco ExAminer.l
One of the most remarkable of recent
European marriages was that of Prince Al
phonse de Chimay to the granddaughter
and heiress of man well known in Paris
in the days of Eugene Sue as Michael the
Assassin" A number of years ago a very
wealthy missr was murdered in Paris under
the most mysterious circumstances, and
the valet and cook were arrested on suspic-
ion. There was no proof whatever of their
guilt, except the fact that the cook had
been made under her masters will his sole
heir.
In the minds OF the people, however,
there was belief that the valet had com
mitted the murder in order to marry the
cook, who he knew would have a great for
tune. The couple were discharged after
trial, and Immediately confirmed the popu-
lar suspicion of foul play by getting mar
ried. To this worthy pair was born son,
who was reared and educated with the
greatest care. In time he fell heir to the
enormous fortune of his parents. he built
a magnificent residence in the Rue du BAc,
near the Bon Marche, and hsd large reti-
nue. of servants In the midst of all this
splendor the son of Michael the Assassin
lived solitary and miserable. BE had not
a single friend but his washerwomAn.
Branded by the suspicious fastened on
his father, the young millionaire was
summed by every one. He consoled him
self by devoting his attention to his sta
bles and to his stud of blooded horses. He
had the grandest turnouts in Paris.
Each time he drove out the young
assassin, )" as he was known on the boule-
wards, sstonished the frequenters of the
Bois by some new and unique equipAge.
Now it would be an English drag, quite
novelty in those days of fhe empire; now a
victoria, lined in rose satin and drawn by
six white horses: private hanson, resplen-
dent with armorial bearings. OF a massive
Louis XIV coach, vanished and gilded,
with the servants gorgeous in gold lace,
plush and powder.
He reached the very climax of his glory
when he startled Paris by bringing out
carriage made exactly like that in which
Napoleon IL and Eugenie took their air
ing. He had the same number of postil-
ions, his horses were of the same color,
and his coachman wore a similar livery to
that of the imperial household.
A story is told in connection with this
venture of the young assassin" Under
the Arc de Triomphe, the gateway from
which radiate the grand avenues of Paris,
the emperor alone was entitled TO drive.
On bright spring evening, however, when
the avenues were crowded with vehicles
and everybody was driving to the Bois, the
assassin" drove under the arch unchecked,
his carriage being taken for that of the
emperor.
At last one day he was missing from the
Bois and Paris read that he had Just died
in his splendid palace.

ReVOnd the Sn meet.

The road that passed his fathers door
He thought stretched on forevermore;
Through fragrant wales of tangled grass,
Ger many misty mountain pass,
Out into wonders unexpressed
Beyond the cloudlands of the west,
Through lands and cities of renown,
To where the mighty sun goes down.
And so he left his fathers door
And said, 81 will return no more
He travelled forth beyond the bridge,
He climbed the lofty mountain ridge,
He passed the river and the town
To find out where the sun went down;
But when he sank at close of day,
The sunset still was far away.
He trod through many wind.swept glen;
In mighty towns he mixed with men;
The breath of many an alien breeze g.. j.
Tossed him DER unfamiliar seas;
He breathed the spicy gale that blows
From southern archipelagoes,
And in the quiet eastern calm
He sought sweet sleep beneath the palm,
But when he looked at close of day.
The sunset still was far away.
He thought to leave his fathers door
And travel on forevermore.
withered pilgrim, bent and gray,
Kept on his unfamiliar way,
Deep versed in lands, a man of men
A universal citizen,
He circled all the earth; once more
He stood before his fathers door
Though many years his father slept
Upon the mountain side unwept-
He stood there wrinkled, worn and brown,
He stood there as the sun went down,
And in the twilight dim ana gray
The sunset was not far away.
Out from the many millions hurled
He sank down weary of the world,
With all his tired journey DER
To die beside his fathers door,
And said, a sad smile on his brow,
81 pass beyond the sunset now"

The failure of a savings bank in Mont
gomery, Alabama, showed that the ne
groes are fast learning how to save. There
were negro planters, truckmen and me-
chanics, and even negro washerwomen, all
with bank books representing from $40 to
50, 900 each, which had been saved out of
their hard-earned wages. One poor woman
had but a single dollar on deposit, an aged
auntie who keeps huckster's stand in the
market had 5000, and floor scrubber
5000, all she had in the world. The men
were heavier depositors than the women,
one old farmer having $4,000, carpenter
$4,000 and laborer 81, 100.
Colonel R. J. Hinton, of the irrigation
survey board of the department of agri-

says great progress has been made in ir-

largely invested by private companies, and
the result of investigations is satisfactory
to the extent that water may be obtained
from wells, by drainage, through gravita-
ton, or surface irrigation, sufficient for a
portion of every quarter section, and
enough to insure crops and to support a
family. Having examined the irrigation
system of northern New Mexico, he de-
clares that by it an area of 5o,OOO,O 600

South Carolina is one of the most pros

million dollars monthly since the opening

The trip was made direct in thirty-six

expected. Rear Admiral Brown said :
"We shall stay in San Diego harbor un-
til the secretary of the navy orders US

houxs' notice, but may remain three
weeks; all depends on our or
ders from Washington. The ship

ammunition for each gun. Besides this
we have 300 or 400 rounds for other
ships" ..
"What other ships ?" was asked.

From other sources it is inferred that
the Charleston, now on the way fro m
Honolulu to Acapulco, is to meet the
San Francisco here and take on extra
ammunition. The Baltimore is also
coming north from Chilean waters and
may want ammunition. While the
officers refuse TO state their future plans,
it is easy to learn that the vessel is
