ordered her maid to build fire in the dim

PANAMA CANAL FRAUDS.
The Catholic Clergy Implicated in the
Scandal.

Scandal.
LONDON, Dec. 1.-The Paris CORE.
spondent of the News says: Brisson
hopes to reveal the part the clergy took
in assisting Count De Lesseps to float
the Panama canal bonds. De Lesseps
and family were conspicuous for their
regular attendance at the church OF
Magdalene all the time the bubble wa 8
being blown. Each christening in his
family also became public event.
Speculation in Panama coupons went
ON at the vatican, and the clergy got
heavy commissions for advising the
members of their flock to invest in
Panama bonds.
The event of the day is the publication
in Drumont's paper of fac-simile letter
written by Baron Reinach to M Proust,
dated July, 1886, notifying him of gift
of 1000 Panama canal bonds. Proust
has replied, challenging Drumont to
produce the proofs.
Briseon has sent DR.. Brouardel, with
staff of physicians and toxicologists, to
Toivilliois to perform an autopsy on
Baron Reinach's body.
Monchicourt, before the investigation
committee. delared that the fac-simile
which appeared in Drumont's paper was
genuine, and obtained from letter book
stolen from Baron Reinach.
Several papers tonight are trying to
justify the acceptance OF gifts from the

A witty Reply of Pope's.

AS narrated by Edward Walford in
his "Greater London" F" Frederick, prince
of Wales, sometimes visited Alexander
Pope at his villa. On one occasion when
the prince was on visit, Pope, after ex-
pressing the most dutifnl professions OF
attachment, gave his royal highness an
opportunity of observing very shrewdly
that his (the poet's) love for princes was
inconsistent with his dislike for kings,
since princes may in time become kings.
Said his royal highness:.
"Mr. Pope, | hear you don't like
princes"
"Sir, beg your pardon"
well, then. you don't like kings"
"Sir, | must own that like the lion
best before his claws are grown"
No reply could well have been happier.
