MYSTERIES OF THE LOUVRE.
Vague Stories of Imperial Crime Reach
 the Outside World.


 the Outside World.
 Everyone who has "done" the Louvre will remember the low-pitched and somewhat gloomy halls in which are stored the treasures of Egypt. Beneath these lie yet more darkly mysterious vaults, inaccessible to the public, though approached by a wide and hand some staircase, such as would lead ore to imagine that it communicated with apartments of some importance. Yet one finds at the bottom nothing but broad passages disposed in the form of cross, and without any sign what ever of door or window.
 A recent examination, however, of the solid walls gives experts reason to believe that the masonry IS more recent than the rest of the structure in this, the oldest portion of the fortress pal ace. M. VaugneuX, a well-known critic. believes that many of the bodies of victims killed in the revolution of 1890 were immured here, and that the gov ernment was afraid to reveal the facts when the remains of their comrades were collected beneath the Colonne de Iuillet.
 sOn the other hand, NJ. Blondel, the architect of the building, and NJ. Nor mand, the secretary of the Society for Protecting Parisian Monuments, hold the opinion that these subterranean passages led to the oubliettes into which Catherine de Medicis cast those who were unfortunate enough to incur her hate or fear. A judicious explora- tion would clear up the matter, and settle. too, several doubtful points as to the foundations of Lescot's original citadel. Unfortunately, the annual grant does not provide for any such archaeological research. and it would be necessary to appeal for funds to the generosity of the chamber.-London Chronicle. .,,,s ssss2,,,sszc.,.

HAS TWENTY HUSBANDS.
How 3 Clever English Woman Swindled
 Well-to-Do Bachelors.

How 8 Clever English Woman Swindled
 Well-to-Do Bachelors.
 The cleverest marriage swindle of modern times was perhaps Miss Evelyn Leal, areally distinguished-looking Eng lishwoman. She has been married and given in marriage at least 20 times dur ing the last three years. while she has been affianced as many times more dur ing the same period, and in every case has succeeded in obtaining handsome presents of jewelry, which she has i'm mediately sold for what they would fetch. Her system, says Lippincott's, was to write to some rich bachelor mer- chant in the provinces, offering to in- troduce him to the widow of an English nobleman with view to matrimony.
 Strange as it may seem, many of the provincial merchants took the bait, went to Paris, were. introduced to the "widow of the English nobleman," al- her presents of mowers the first day, gloves the second, while on the third, if the ardent would-be husband had not suggested il, she would quietly choose wedding ring, with a handsome keeper, accompanied by a diamond necklace, brooch, and earrings, all these to con, stitute her wedding present. Then she would disappear with her jewels, change her clothes and name, and start the same game with another victim the following day. She would sometimes have two proposals of marriage on hand at the same time; she always calculated upon the frailty of human nature and the great dislike the victims would have to being politically exposed to ridicule for having so simply been taken in with the promises of the fair Englishwoman. Now she is being boarded and clothed at the expense of the French state, which, upon the recommendation of the aus rere magistrate, has engaged to take en- tire charge of her for the next IS months.

 Addition.

But, notwithstanding they are now in tn city itself, there are few lots for sale vet at prices corresponding with the "Sound Money Doctrine" of President Cleveland and his cuckoos, which means that kind of a dollar which will buy two dollars worth of property. These lots are near the new elec-. tric car line which is now in operation. The lots are in the city and their occupants do not need to ride into town, but the presence of electric street cars is popular and adds market value to the property. Inside of five years this will be business property. Buy lot now for residence and when business crowds you out the rents will SUD- port you in house outside in some addition where you can keep horse and drive into town and collect your rents.
