rassed and heart-sick in life, Eugene II.
Bonnick and his Young wife sought to-
gether in death relief from this worlds
iretting cares. The young couple
lived at oil Santa Fe avenue, and it was
there at about 10 o'clock this morning
that a door of the sleeping room was
burst open. Mrs. Bonnick was dead
and her husband was beyond human
aid. He died before noon. 1t is
the old familiar story Of domestic
trouble magnified by the interference of
relatives and meddling neighbors.
Eugene H. Bonnick was member of
the firm of Bonnick IL Co., timers, and
was considered a steady young man Of
more than ordinary business qualifica-
tions. The only thing that seemed to
stand between him and absolute happi-
ness being his domestic trouble. The
only word left was a note which read

ALEXIS LEAVES PARIS.
Wild Enthusiasm as the Grand Duk'

Rode Through the Streets.
PARIS, August, 13.-Grand Duke
Alexis left Paris to-day for Vichy.
The enthusiasm evoked by the visit
of the brother OF the Gar has lost none
of It's force by the personal contact OF
the Parisians with the tall, 0ne-looking
Russian admiral, and Oh every occasion
where he has shown himself 70 the pub
lie he has received greetings that have
amounted to ovations.
The time appointed for tho Grand
Dukes departure for Vichy had been
announced in the newspapers and con-
seouentIy large crowds gathered along
the route from the hotel at which he
was stopping TO the railway station. AS
the carriage in which the Grand Duke
was riding passed along the streets the
crowds cheered him enthusiastically.
! q nd 90 i.o snsiiinsly bowed In response
to the hearty greetings rendered him
the crowd broke out into cries OF "Vive
le Russie ct la Francel" and "Vive le
CARP
While the enthusiasm was at It's
height break was made IN the line Of
people on the sidewalks, and as the
Grand Dukes carriage reached tho
point Of the confusion an old man, bent
and decrepit, with his gray hair hang
ing In confusion about his withered
face, his every appearance denoting
that ne was q native OF the land ruled
over by the "White Gar" spnng to the
side of the carriage and, raising his hat
and bowling low, threw into the lap OF
the Grand Duke petition which, IL was
afterward learned, was arequest for the
redress OF some grievance from which the
aged Russian was suffering. The right
OF presenting petitions In this manner Is
one of the few rights possessed by Rus
sion subjects and the document was
taken possession OF by the Grand Dnke.
When the Grand Duke reached the
railway station there came repetition
OF the scene OF enthusiasm witnessed
along the streets through which he had
just passed, and as his train drew out Of
the station the last sounds OF Paris that
the Grand Duke heard were patriotic
cries from the lips OF thousands OF per-
sons who had gathered TO bid him sdieu.

SDlLA, Aug. 13.-Another illustration
OF the swift punishment which England
inflicts upon those who violate her rights
or infringe upon her dignity In India
was given to-day at Manipur, when two
OF the leaders of the massacre OF British
officials in March last met their death AZ
the gates OF the Capital. The two men
who were executed to-day were MEM
bers of the reigning family OF Manipur,
but neither their high positions nor the
appeals for clemency that had been
made for them could save them from the
vengeance OF the law.
Both had appealed from the sentence
of death that had been imposed upon
them by the military Court OF Inquiry
before which they were tried, but the
Viceroy Of India, the Marquis Of Lsns-
downe, had decided the interests OF Great
Britain demanded that these men who
had waged war against the Queen and
abetted murder should die. They were
soldiers, vet not for them was the honor
of soldiers death. They were not
permitted TO stand erect before a sqad
OF sodiery and to hear tho fatal COM
mand of "Ready, aim, fire." but they
were taken from their prison, led TO a
scaffold and there hanged like ordinary
murderers.

TRIBUTES TO LOWELL.
English Comments on the Death OF the
American Poet.

LONDON, August 13.-All OF the Lon
don newspapers to-day contain com
ments on the death Of James Russell
Lowell, and publish long obituary no
tices:
The Times says: ''The death OF Mr..
Lowell Is probably more keenly and
widely felt in England than would be
that of any other American, or indeed,
of any man not fellow countryman.
With his death there passes into history
a really remarkable mind, whose repu-
tation will grow with time. Corrupt
politicians hated him, but he goes to
the grave mourned by all that Is best In
Aha JaRJff ID Eibhsanaf ihf ahsafrIfelt regard
The Standard says: america may
claim the distiction OF his birth, but his
fame belongs to the wider republic,
| speaking the English tongue"
The Daily Nelcs says: ''Mr. Lowell
will be lamented in England not less
than in Americ. He was ever fighter,
and always en- the side OF truth, honesty,
justice, freedom, mercy and peace"
Mr.. Walter Besant, the well-known
writer and novelist, and first chairman
of the Executive Committee of the In
corporated Society OF Authors, has
sent 2 telvgram from Dartmoor, to a
news agency In this city, in which,
referring to the death Of Mr.. James
Russell Lowell, he says: 1.-THE En-
glish Authors Society sends It's deepest
regiets and sympathy with Americans
on the death OF that great writer, its
friend, James Russell Lowell"
Lord Tennyson wires from Haslemere,
saying: England and America will
mourn Lowell's death. They loved him
and he loved them. Pray express my
self and mine sincerest sympathy with
the family
Henry Irving writes as follows: ''In
common with all Engltshmen, lament
the decease OF one so loved and hon.
ored."
The Pail Mou Gazette says: 1.-THE uni
versal regret for Lowell's death, and ad-
miration for his character and achieve
ments, expressed on this side OF the At
lantic, are an eloquent testimony OF the
reality of that entente among the Eng
lish speaking race which 1t was one OF
the objects Of Lowel's life to promote.
His place in literature is with Carlyle
and Ruskin."
Edmund Gosse, in an article In the
st. James Gazette, says: "It is too soon
to make an estimate OF his final place In
history. We think to-day only Of his
stainless record, bis lofty intelligence
and his devotion TO letters, and we rev.
erently partake Of Americas sorrow."
