Sitting A Scandal.

Paris, Dec. 6.-According to the Eclair, NJ
Degue, member Of the chamber of depu-
ties, admits that he received one Of the
Thierree checks for $4,000 francs, this being
his share, due from Baron Reinach, in
guarantee syndicate in which NJ Dugue who
incurred certain risks was entitled to COM
pensation if the operation Of the syndicate
was successful. The Investigating commit
tee to-day examined Herbrard, of the Temps,
respecting the source from which he OBJ
tanned extracts Of the report Of NJ Rosseau,
whom the chamber Of deputies sent to ex-
anime the Panama works before it sane
toned the lottery loan. NJ Herbrard to-day
declined to make known the source of his
information regarding his share in the Pan
anna contracts, he said he had often before
done business in connection with various
public works. Banker kohn, partner of the
late Baron Reinach, promised the commit
tee that he would examine the firms books
again and would endeavor to throw further
light on the Thierree checks. -
N. Alberto Greyy gave evidence before the
cashed a check for $4,000 francs. The
money had been paid to him as a member of
the underwriting syndicate before re-
ferred to-. He was also Baron Reinach's
lawyer, and was remunerated for his sery-
ices in checks. NJ. Grevy concluded by de-
nying that he had tried to secure the sup
port Of any senators for the Panama canal
schemes. .= -

There We're no signs of pain and he was

Another Will Contest.

New York, Dec. 6.-Whcn the will of
David Edward Grouse was made public on
Nov. 26, he having died five days before; the
requests made by the Syracuse millionaire
occasioned considerable surprise. The es-
tate has been variously estimated at from
So, 100000 to $20,O0O,O0O, and aside from a
number of benefciaries named the bulk Of
the wealth is to 60 to the testator's next
Of kin" There was last week talk Of a
second will having been made in this city
in August, and young woman known as
"DOttie Grouse" made claim that she was
entitled to a share Of the estate. This young
woman, it is said, later admitted that she
had no legal right to the name Of the dead
millionaire. However there is little tot
in this city who bears the name Of Dottie
Grouse, and as such Is entitled to the for
tIs.c left to bis ''neXt of Kim" This little

ANXIOUS TO ADJOURN.
Englishmen Want IN IN unr

BRUSSELS, Dec. 6. When the interna-
uonaI monetary conference resumes its
Strings tomorrow, the first matter reouir-
ING settlement will. be whether the re-
port OF the committee appointed to con
slder whether Mr.. Rothschild's plans
shaH be further debated or the PROPOSALS
OF the American delegates proceeded
Win. Mr.. Rothschild, Sir G. Fremantle
ana Sir William Houldstworth all of
"hom are British delegates, desire some
expression OF opinion regarding Mr.. Roth
schilds plan from the full conference.
Mr. Currle, another British delegate,
ul1ns 70 BRING the conference to speedy
close, and IN common with some of the
otHef delegates Who are resigned to see
the conference result in failure, would
accelerate the consideration of the Amer
icah resolutions as Fastening the wind
ing up OF the meeting. Sir Fremantle,
with view to the resumption of debate
on the R0thschild plan has amended his
declaration declining to pledge the En-
gllsh government to withdraw it's half
sovereign pieces in favor of silver, by
ADDING the words, Except concurrently
WITH the adoption of the Rothschild prof.
ect or some other proposal having the
same compensatory value" Sir G.. Ere
mantle, who is deputy master of the
British mint, has never been known to
take Independent action or personal in
ltlatlye, and it is therefore taken for
granted that he is the mouthpiece of the
British government in announcing as
sent to the abolition Of the half-soyer-
eign.
Ii, despite the adverse report of the
committee, the full conference adopts the
Rothschild plan, number Of the dele
gates will want the conference to close
or adjourn Dec. 16 at the latest. If an
adjournment is taken, it is doubtful if
there will be a full attendance when the
slttlngs are resumed in January.

wonderful physician would be here to as

One hundred and fifty people arrived Sat

was unable to haul the people thnt desired
to come. Doc. s is the feast Of the Imnacu-
late conception, and 300 people are expected
to come from the city Of Dubuque, Iowa,

Saturday solemn high mass was celebrated
in the church which, had been newly plas-
tered and furnished inside. All who were
prepared received the blessed sacrament.
Each applicant for help is given q certain
number OF prayers to repeat for a certain
lergth OF time, and in some cases asked to
1-;arch about or in the church and repeat a
certain number of them. They are then
given certain quantity Of holy oil to APP

In his case, and having recited a certain
number OF beads Of the rosary, about or in
the church, the pilgrim is ready to return
home. Often before reaching this part Of
the system of penance the affection has
been cured. Some are cured instantly,
others on their way home and others long
after they have reached home. ~.
Many break off portions Of the wall on
which the church stands and carry the
pieces away to their homes. The church
property was once surrounded by beau
tiful hedge, but it has been trimmed nearly
to the ground, visitors after having the
pieces blessed carry them home. Relics of
saints are placed near the altar, beside an
oil picture of Mary, the mother Of God, and
the infant, Jesus. In this corner the at
ficted kneel and pray necessarily. Beads.
prayer books, pictures of the church and
every conceivable religious article is sold
in a small house erected for the purpose
near the church. The rich and poor alike
visit this shrine. Many rich people contrib
ute very literally. The poor give what they
can afford. q. ....-. s Il
