Dunlap Special Cable to the Times.l
PARIS. Oct. 9.-A great system of railway
robberies has Just been discovered by accident
and broken up by police. The Northern
railway has received numerous complaints
from commercial houses alleging that
parcels addressed to them from abroad have
come in part missing.
Villain. a wholesale hosier, happening to be
in the Northern railway station, noticed a
man wearing necktie the pattern OF which
lie had lately consigned to File, but which
had not arrived at its destination. The man,
when questioned. admitted his guilt and
named his accomplices. seven of whom have
been arrested. Their houses being searched
the police found an immense quantity OF
stolen goods. such "a jewelry iron work and
other things of value They all confessed
their guilt and were held for trial.
BoULASGER on EVERY TONGUE.
To-day there is nothing in France but
BOulanger. His name IS on every tongue.
The breath that has just left his body seems
to permeate the air. In the natural course OF
events 'rentree." which means the COM
mencement of the winter season, is started
with the first davs of October. Paris. always
gay, allows little or nothing to interfere with
her amusements.
To-day the weather is superb and the at
mosphere clear.
Especially significant is the entire absence
N private or public conversation Of any re-
fection on the dead man. IL is hard to say
whether pity or regret Is the sentiment most
heard, but certainly in every instance one OF
both are heartily expressed.
Figaro started to-day new public discus
sion concerning Boulanger. lt says: The
suicide of General Boulanger presents
physiological case which merits the atten-
tion of the thinking reader.
Was the suicide Of Bou.anger a cowardly or
chiyalrous act that is to say. is it nature TO
reinstate him IN the esteem Of those who had
condemned him; OF nature to further besmirch

six clubs had consented 10 the playing of the
postponed games in Boston. Il do not share
the opinion of many" he said, that
it was combined effort on the
part of the Eastern clubs to throw
the championship TO Boston, but | do
think that New York has laid tself wide open
TO criticism by the very singular manner in
which it placed its team on the field in the
five games played in Boston. The Bostons
have of late been playing wonderful strong
game, and might possibly have won five
straight games from the New Norks on their
merits. but it is very unfortunate for them
and all concerned that their title TO the pennant
should be clouded by the suspicious actions
of those in control of the placing of the New

Side saddles owe their origin TO the in

having one leg shorter than the other,
made departure from the prevailing

which has continued TO the present day,
was first worn by Queen Elizabeth Of Eng

but beautiful During the reign Of George

had a duel with Colonel Lennox, and the
worthy colonel succeeded in shooting away
