THE OLD OLD STORY.
A WOMAN AND HER MONEY TOO
EASILY PARTED
By a Pair of Slick Scoundrels Mrs.
Laignau of San Francisco Is
Relieved of all Her Cash,
En- Route to France.

NEW YORK, July l3.-Mme.
Lalgnsu, of San Francisco, Califor-
mia, and her daughter, Octavie, IA
years old, arrived in this city re-
Gently from the coast, intending to
take a French line steamer for
Paris. They went down to the
dock and found that the steamer
did not sail at once. They were &C.
companied by q friend they had
known In San Francisco. Some
time In the afternoon while walk
ing on Broadway they were met by
two men who had probably fol.
lowed them from the French line
pier. One of the strangers accosted
Nine. Laignau's escort and asked
him for q match. Nine. Laignau
said the stranger looked like q
friend in San Francisco and they
all became friendly. The strang-
or, who spoke French fluently,
asked the little party to go to
Brooklyn and inspect house he
had recently bought. In the mean
time q third stranger had appeared
on the scene. He also spoke French
and pretended to be very i'll. He
said that he intended to 60 to Paris
by the French line as he had re-
Gently inherited a million dollars
which he had in bundle with him
and he asked Nine. Laignau If she
would not keep it for him. She
replied in the affirmative and took
the package which had a dollar
bill on top and put it in her hand
kerchief. The first stranger put in
his dollars and Nine. Laignau
herself put In 5000 in gold, repre-
senting all the money that she had.
In Brooklyn the strangers asked
Nine. Laignau and her daughter
and friend to take something to
drink but they refused to do so.
They were conducted back to the
city where the strangers left them
on Broadway saying they wished
to mail a letter and would return
Immediately. After waiting long
time Nine. Laignau and her daugh-
ter and friend discovered that their
money had all been stolen and
they went directly to the French
line steamer. The police were
notified and Peter Bianchetti %
years of age was arrested. He re-
fused to give his residence but said
that he was a carpenter, About
1924 was found on his person.
Nine. Laignau and her daughter
are being cared for by Mr.. West,
agent of the French line.

partment of Peru. For some time,
1t is also stated, modern guns aud

GEoRG ETowN, Texas, July 13.-
Especial. - Yesterday was the
banner day, thus far, in point
Of attendance and enjoyment at
the Chautauqua. All the business
houses were closed, and the town
presented gala day appearance.
General j. B. Gordon, OF Georgia,
was the principal attraction on the
program, in his famous lecture on
"The Last Days Of the Confeder-
acy," the immense audience testing
the capacity of the large audito-
rum. He spoke for two hours,
without the aid of manuscript, and
held his audience interested to the
last. His lecture was free from
sectioualism, and full OF unwrit-
ten history, pathos, and piquant
witticism. When he had closed, the
vast audience rose and gave MIN
an ovation that any man might be
proud of. Mr.. Gordon stepped for
ward and said: az would rather re-
ceive such greetings than the
crown OF a car, or be elected pres.
ident of the United States for
