singer. and he mAde her come to Paris, sllot-

the State avoided all scandal. and was deter
mined to give Josephine no cause Of uDhraRe.
he only paid Nine Grassini short and iurtive
visits. A love without any public attentions
was not calculated to please naughty woman,
who quickly fell In love with a violinist and
fed with him from Psris This prank seems TO
have disguised the Emperor forever with

succeeded ephemeral likings for three Of the
Empress's companions. after which came the
intimacy with Nine. Gazani. a very beautiful

MEMBERS HOLD THE BAG,
End Of the Triennial Benefit
League, of Brooklyn.
1t Promised Big Things, but There's
Little In the Treasury.

The Triennial Benefit League of
Brooklyn was dissolved this morning,
and William J. Carr was appointed re-
ceiVer. by an order of Justice Cullen, of
the Supreme Court. Brooklyn.
The papers in the case showed a re-
markable state of affairs The League
agreed to pay $500 in three years. for a
very small amount paid In.
Attorney General Hancock declares
that he investigated the League, and
found 1t exercising franchises not con-
ferred upon IL.
SuEt. Pierce. OF the State Insurance
Department, says the affairs of the
League were examined April G, 1894 when
Ing Its business fraudulently and irregu-
larry, and was insolvent
June 4, 1884. President +. ]. c. Ladd, OF
tne League, signed an affdavit admitting
lhc truth OF these charges and asked a
dissolution.
The headquarters OF the League were
IN the Arbuckle Building Ii had about
hfty subordinate branches and several
thousand members. Mortgages taken as
investments We're found to be practically
worthless There was sick benefit feG-
ture, which was drawn upon heavily by
the members OF the Supreme Council
There seems TO have been very little
provision made for the benefit of mem
bers who had Joined within the past
three years. The resources of the League
Will not begin to meet Its obliga tions.
The members are very indignant, and
may bring criminal actions against the
