OFF WITH HIS HEAD.
Execution of RavachOl, the Anarchist,
in Paris Yesterday.

PARIS, June 11-Ravachol, the an
archist, murderer and thief, was exc
cuted this morning. Rayachol was not
in the least concerned when awakened
at o'clock this morning and told to
prepare for the execution. He dressed
himself carefully without assistance.
When he was asked if ne had any wish
to express he replied that he wished to
address the crowd and was disappoint-
ed by the reply that there would be no
crowd. When the prison chaplain
asked if the prisoner wished to see him
Rayachol replied:

Notwithstanding this answer, the
chaplain approached Ravachol, say
ing:
II come to bring you for the last time
the consolation of religion and to put
before you the image of Christ, whose
law you disregard"
Il don't care a rap for your reli-
see your crucifx. If you show it to
me, I will spit upon it, You are like
all your people who encourage super
stition and try to make people believe
what you cannot prove"
Rayachol iibed the executiOner and
his assistants while they prepared him
for the block. Turning to the chaplain
he said
"Religion What folly How the
world is besotted -
The executioner here took hold of
him and pushed him toward and into q
van that was in waiting, which at once
started for the guillotine.
A crowd that was behind a Gordon Of
soldiers, members Of which had been
uproarious during the time of waiting,
became hushed and silenced the instant
the van bearing RavahOl appeared.

blasphemOus words Of the CONDEMNED

as the assistant executfoner seized him.
Don't prevent me-"
SO rapidly did the executioners work
that his head was already on the block
and his neck fixed in the lunette before
he had finished the sentence. Just as
the knife fell he shouted, "Vive repub-
lique," and instantly his head was in
the basket. The remains were placed

Her Mission Is to Make Pampas PIumes

College for Women.

She is tall and slim, willowy Is the word.
Her forehead is high, her hair pompadour,
her whole face oval and pleasing The
eyes are intellectual, the mouth determined.
She dresses very neatly, always In black,
and is altogether a striking figure. Such is

quarters recently you have probably seen
Mrs. Strong and heard her talk.
She has something TO say and is, moreover,

will not be lost in listening to her.
Aside from all this. Mrs. Strong has been
successful as business woman. She is a
woman who has made a success as fnan-
cier. After all. this Is Mrs. Strong's forte.
Many another woman Is as comedy, not
lew are as charming takers. but the women
with her executive and business ability are
so rare as to command attention on all sides.
Few women In the world have been as
successful fnancie's as Mrs. Strong. Her
capacity for business is best Judged, per-
haps, from the success she has met with.
She owns and operates large ranch in
the San Gabriel Valley, a considerable por-
ton of which has been devoted to the
culture of the pampas-grass.
Her present errand in this city is TO con-

employed.
Her device Is In the storing of the water.
Instead OF one she builds three dams, one
