DISAPPEARANCE or a KOBLEMAN
Journey around the World on
RGqer

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Nov. 23.-"Le Voy-
ageur," Roland Desvarennes, the French
nobleman who was in Chicago on his trip
around the world on wager during the
first week in August, and left here about
August IA for Denver, via the Rock Island
has disappeared. His friends in Chicago
are greatly agitated over the whereabouts
of Desvarennes, and have called upon the
French Consul, seeking information re-
garding the man.
Roland Desvarennes is an assumed
name of the French nobleman. His true
identity is not known further than that he
was member of well-known Partisan
club, and was making a tour around the
world on wager. He was man of means
and his income is reported to be 100000 a
year.
The novel trip of this French nobleman
came about as a result of discussion in a
Partisan club on the evening of June Is, in
which this man and another clubman were
discussing the voyage of two newspaper
men around the world without cent of
money. This nobleman declared that this
was no trick and that he himself could do
it and not touch a cent of hisSincome. He
would live on what he could make on his
tour, and could complete his trip around
the world and be at his Partisan club on
the evening of June 10, 1897, just two years
after he had started. This resulted in a
wager that it could not be accomplished
and the nobleman, assuming the name of
LIE Yoyageur,' started out.

Weather a Large Crowd
Greeted Him.
Labor Men Paraded the Streets and
Listened to Speech From
Their Leader.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Nov. 23.-The
weather tonight could hardly have been
worse for the home reception of Eugene
". Debs. But in spite of the cold rain that
fell and the muddy streets the demonstra-
ton was notable one.
Mr.. Debs arrived at GAS o'clock by way
of Indianapolis over the Vandalia line
The union depot was crowded with repre-
sentatives of the labor unions and delega-
tons of miners and laborers from sur
rounding towns.
When Mr.. Debs stepped out on the plat
form there was prolonged cheerings. He
was carried on the shoulders of men
through the Union station and into the
open space in front of the depot, where
he entered carriage and was driven to
his home. A band, heading the large
crowd that followed, played Home, Sweet
Home" the entire distance.
Notwithstanding the rain there was a
large parade of laboring men tonight.
Mr.. Debs spoke at the Armory, which was
packed TO overlooking.
The appearance of Mr.. Debs on the stand
was signal for uproarious applause,
which lasted for several minutes. He was
plainly moved by the heartiness of the
welcome and it was evident that he was as
popular as ever with the labor unions. His
speech was in line with his Chicago adj
dress of last night.

Rejected ,Saitor Shoots His Stceethea ut
and Cuts HIS O,cn Throat.
AMSTERDAM, N. Y, Nov. 23.-The
people of this community were horror
stricken this morning by tragedy that
will undoubtedly end the lives of two per-
sons. Fred Banker, aged 25, has for some
time been very attentive to Miss Cora Har-
rison, about six years his junior. He was
very much in love with her, but she did
not reciprocate. When he proposed mar
rage to her she refused him.
This refusal made him extremely angry,
but it was not thought that he would do
anything violent. This morning, how
ever, he appeared at the door of Miss Har-
rison's residence and said that he wished
to see her. AS she approached him he
suddenly drew knife and tried to cut her
throat.
In trying to save herself she knocked
the knife from his hand. He thereupon
drew revolver and fired two bullets into
the girl. She fell to the ground, and he,
evidently thinking that he had killed her,
picked up the knife that he had previously
dropped and drew it across his throat, in
hicting CHASTITY wound. Both Banker
and Miss Harrison are still alive, but the
doctors say that neither can live.
