her future husband upon certain condi-
lions. Montbrun promised everything
they wished. He was in an ecstasy of
bliss during the few weeks which pre-
coded the day fixed for his marriage.
In the midst of his dreaming he re-
ceived through his notary-he had care
fully concealed his address from all
others-a letter from one Of his friends,
who wrote him that Paula Salimberi
was seeking him in every direction and
uttering direful threats.
At length the eventful day arrived.
The contract had been signed. Two
friends of Montbrun had come from
Paris to serve him as witnesses, and
on the 10th of September, at II in the
morning. the guests left in carriages for
the mayors office. The viscount and
two or three persons were speaking
with functionary at that Office when
they were startled by piercing scream,
followed by a long clamor Of voices.
Rushing to the windows, they saw a
hurrying crowd, amid which small
group were massed about recumbent
form.
"What has happened?'' exclaimed
Montbrun, almost suffocated by appre
hension.
''An unknown woman has thrown
vitriol in the face of Mile de Larade.
All one side of the poor child's face is
badly burned and an eye destroyed.
They are carrying her to her home. :"
Montbrun fell, rigid and unconscious,
to the floor.
He tried vainly during the day to be
received at the home Of his betrothed.
''Tell him that he will never see mo
again!" she cried, shedding tears that,
rolling over her raw wounds, burned
her like fire.
The suffering of M. de Montbrun was
intense. Consumed with fever, his heart
seemed pressed in vise
A little later a small package was de-
livered to him.
The unknown woman arrested imme-
diately after the preparation of her
crime, stated that her name was Paula
Salimberi: her motive, vengeance.
Montbrun shut himself in his bed
room and opened his parcel, which con-
tanned a small quantity of white pow
der Folding handkerchief into band
age, he measured out two spoonfuls of
the powder and spread it on the band
age, which he then placed over his
eyes, tying it in a firm knot at the back
of his head.
Two hours after he arrived at the
home Of M. de Larade in a coupe, from
which the notary of Wire helped him
to descend.

a DAYS LESSON.

Bend to the breeze. TITS the lesson the grasses
Teach us each day in their lowly estate.
Better to bend meath the storm as it passes
Than to be broken by pitiless fate.
Bend but a little, the cloud will pass over;
Then in the lull you can lift up your head.
Straighten yourselves like the grass and the
clover:
Better be bruised and be living than dead.
'Stand like rock!' That may do for hero
Covered with mail and well used to his lance,
But there are mortals, too many. as we know,
Weakened by failure, coerced by a glance.
''Never give up.'' 1t is easy to say it
When all your weapons in order are found.
Courage grows fast when we need not dis
play it;
All can be brave when the lions are bound.
Nothing succeeds like success" that is GER
tain,
True as the gospel in these latter days.
Put out the footlights and ring down the cur
tain
If you have nothing that people must praise.
Bend to the breeze. IT'S the lesson the grasses
Teach us today; its lesson of love;
Bend till the storm of adversely passes
And the glad sunshine is more above

San Francisco, Feb. IA frightful
affair occurred last night at Colonel
Daniel Boone's wild animal show at
the Midwinter fair. Carlo Hieman,
an attendant, had taken three large,
trained lions into cage in the center
of the arena, when suddenly the
electric lights went out, followed by
screams of agony from the cage, and
sounds of horrible crunching of the
beasts jaws. The audience became
panic-stricken, women screamed and
tainted. Finally lights were secured
and the dreadful sight was revealed
of three lions gnawing at the PROSTATE
form of Hieman. Colonel Boone
snatched up an iron bar and with rare
intrepidity entered the cage. beat the
beasts off, and rescued the keeper.
Hieman was found to have forty
wounds, some of which came perilously
near a vital spot. His scalp was torn
entirely off, and he had deep wounds
under the arms and on the legs and
body where the animals teeth had
llacerated him. In spite of all this the
physicians think that, unless blood
poisoning sets in, he may recover.
| Later-Carlo Hieman, who was so
horribly mangled by lions in Colonel
Boone's arena at the MidwinFer fair
Hast night, died tonight from the eff
| feet of his wounds.

THE SEALS AGAIN.
international Agreement Appears
to Be Very Defective.


to Be Very Defective.
Washington, Feb. 1.-THE sober sec
ond Judgment of both parties to the
Behring sea arbitration discloses the
fact that the agreement reached by ar
bitration is not entirely satisfactory
to the United States or Great Britain.
1t appears, however, that the dissatis-
faction is based rather upon matters
of detail than upon objection to
the broad principles upon which the
arbitration is based.
For months past there has been much
correspondence and interviews between
Secretary Gresham, Sir Julian Paunce-
fote and Minister Bayard with a view
to its adjustment One of the flaws
Gresham is said to have found is the
failure TO provide penalties for an in
fraction of its provisions shd as il
would be of little avail to capture pc
llagic sealing vessels only 70 have them
turned loose again on tie seal herds

but the Canadian law is defective, anC
thus International agreement is defied

rigid enforcement would destroy theil

other Democratic members. The con-
ference was devoted to a report upon
the progress made by the sub-commlt-
tee on the tariff bill, and to general
discussion of the disputed points, sucn
as sugar, coal, iron, ore, lead ore IN
come tax and whisky tax.
Developments indicate that the House
bill will be disturbed in as few parucu-
I lars as possible.

In dispute have been decided beyond an

around the seal islands within which
seals may not be taken by vessels and
shortening the closed season
The British government is making
efforts to secure a recall of the nlolus
vivendi under which operations in the
seal waters were governed last year:
This suggestion touches the rights of
the North American Commercial COM
pany. Under the modus the company
was permitted to take anly 5000 seal
skins last year, and was thereby de-
prived of a large income that might
have been made under their leases,
being put to heavy expense to feed the
natives of the seal islands. who sub
sist on the rookeries; so the company
has entered a protest against a re-
newal of the modus. The pelagic seal
ers managed to take 100 900 skins last
season, while the company was limited
to $4,000. Meanwhile, the need for a
speedy agreement of some kind is evi-
denced by the fact that already a
number of sealing vessels are reported
to have cleared for the sealing waters
and are consequently almost beyond
the reach of proper notice in the
change of regulations.
| Levi. w. Meyers. consul at Victoria,
B. c., reports to the state department
that a fleet of sealing schooners, hail

says: II am assured that all expect
to go direct to the Russian side, the

fleet have sailed from Victoria for
Japan and ten for the North Pacific,

Paris. Feb. 1.-THE police say it has
been definitely established that the
Hotel Terminus bomb thrower's name
is Emile Henry, born in Barcelona,
Spain, % years ago. of French parents.
He has been IN Paris since the middle
of January, coming from London.
Henry remarked today that he. alone.
was responsible for the explosion in
the cafe; that valiant was a child
to put nails in a bomb TO blow up the
burgeois. There was better material
than that and he was surprised that
his bomb did not have more effect.
Henry is guarded by two detectives,
who have instructions, according to
the French custom, to endeavOr to in
duce the prisoner TO talk. 1t is re-
ported that the project has received
advices from the police of London that
the explosion at the Hotel Terminus
was only a part Of a scheme which
Henry and his companions had arrang-
ed before leaving London. 1t was their
intention to commit as many outrages
as possible and it is believed the pris-
Oner's associates will be heard from
before long.
The prisoner, according to the police,
undoubtedly came from London in
and the London police assert their be-
lief that Henry and accomplces had
planned a terrible explosion in the
Paris opera house, which was to in
clude the cutting off of the gas supply.
The prisoners brother, Fortune
Henry is now undergoing imprison-
ment at Clarvanux for melting to

and was sentenced to death for being
absent from the court when his trial
was called. He had fed the country
and afterwards died in Spain.

Portsmouth, Feb. 14-At an enor-
nous meeting in the Drill Hall to-
night, Sir William Harcoult, chancel-
lor of the exchequer, ridiculed Joseph
Chamberlain's idea of a national party
as impracticable. Referring to the
position of the House of Lords, he
said Lord Salisbury had thrown down
the gage of battle and they would not
shrink from the fight.
The audience here rose in a body,
cheering franticalIy and waving their
hats.
Sir William went on: eve have to
face, probably, the rashest and most
reckless leader that ever headed the
Tory party-so extreme have been his
counsels that even our own follow
erS have shrank from his violence.
| The work in the house of lords dur

opened the eyes of the public. Give
/ them rope enough the speaker ex-
claimed; '1et US have a few more such
fortnights; let it be burnt into the
minds of the country that the lords
have become the champions of all
abuses and the enemies of all reforms!

mine once for all, whether what Lord
! Russell calls the whisper of fashion is
to prevail over the will of the people.

given Sir William when he finished

THE CoLoNNADE RUINED.
Another Disastrous Fire in Worlds
Fair Buildings.

Chicago, Feb. IA fire again broke
out at the Worlds fair. When first
discovered the flames were at work on
the columns of the colonnade which
connects the Machinery hall and Agri-
cultural building, and very near the
point in the Agricultural building
where the last fire occurred. It had
made considerable Roadway before the
first engine arrived, and was threaten
ing the building at either end which
connects it with the larger structures.
A second alarm calling more engines
was sent out but the snowdrifts en-
route to the spot prevented the fire de-
Ipartment from making speed, and the
flames, in the meantime, were making
Roadway against the inadequate force
at work
The colonnade is practically in suins,
the columns are destroyed and the
ornamental work of the cornice and
statuary above has tumbled down.
The fire, as the others, is ineendiary.
The fire was under control at 2:3O
O'Clock. Besides the destruction of a
| large part of the colonnade the farm
ers' assembly hall just back of it, was
badly damaged but left standing.

THE WHITE METAL.
1T is A PROBLEM For THE MEN
ACROSS THE POND.
Germany is GrnveIy Discussing the
Question, and the Government is
Urged to Take Some Action With
n View to Remedying the Evil
Complained of.


Berlin, Feb 14.-In the unter-house
Arendt, in discussing the best means
of improving the silver situation, COM
planned that German silver coins were
so per cent below their nominal value,
and urged the government to remedy
this as soon as possible.
Meincke, representing the ministry
of finance, replied that Prussia could
not change the coinage, as it was an
imperial matter.
Dr. Miguel, minister of finance, said
Prussia would gladly respond to the
wish of the imperial government to
institute an inquiry into the condition
of silver and the best means of i'm
proving it; but denied that all the
members of the commission held the
same views, and concluded by denounc-
| ing the growing tendency to discuss
| imperial matters in the state diet.
