tomb. suddenly heard sharp report in
thai direction Rushing 70 the spot
the attendant found Gen Bsulanger
lying dead upon the ground with re-
volver elinehed IN his right hand. A
hasty examination OF the body showed
that the dead man had placed the
weapon 70 his righs ear and fred the
fatal shot.
The affair has caused great excite

among the generals followers in Paris
The poliee and the dead mans friends
here have taken possession of his
lodgings. and they have NOT an

The generals position. financial
and political, has, 1t Is generally
admitted, been getting blacker and
blaeker OF the recent monthA He had
no hopes for the future and his remain
ing friends were few and becoming
colder as the once famous general
dropped moro and more out of public
notice There is no doubt that the gen.
eral was conscious of these facts and
that they preyed upon his mind.
Coupled to this was the morbid love or
infatuation which he had for his dead
mistress, to whom he was un-
doubtetly greatly attached. as evil
deneed by his renouncing what might
have been an important political
career in order TO fly with her from
France. II Ia an opeu question as to
what would have happened in France
had the general chosen to face imprison-
ment and possible political upheaval
instead OF Preferring the safer sum

OF these facts. but refused TO apply for
divorce. IL was greatly through
Nine de Bounemain's favor that Gen.
Boulanger was able to carry on his po-
liticsl intrigues. for madame had inher-
ited fortune of $1,000. 900, all of
which sum she devoted to the cause Of
the then popular leader.
To such an extent did Gen Boulanger
carry his infatuation for Nine. DE Bon

could not be persuaded to pose as a
martyr before the French people by
going to jail. prcserring TO fly with his
mistress from France 70 England, and
