VERY COSTLY NFATUA7IOK.
Peculiar Story Revealed by an Application
to incarcerGte Rich French Woman
in an Asylum.

PARIS, FRANCE Dec. Illegal proceed
ings in lunacy against wealthy young
woman named Marie Saudret have made
official record of an extraordinary story
that off and on has been the gossip of the
boulevards for three years. Away back
in 1913 she became infatuated with a
Hungarian musician named Ferko,
who was the leader OF an orchestra in one
of the swell cafes on the rue d'Elysee.
Ferko was married.
Marie gave his wife $4,000 on condition
that she would return with her two chill
dren to her home and remain there for the
rest of her life. The young girls family
made futile efforts to break off the liaison,
and it continued until a couple of weeks
ago when Ferko died and was buried by
his mistress with great pomp and cere-
mony.
After the departure of his wife he gave
up his position and became hapitue of
the races, clubs and gambling dens, and
according to the papers filed in court he
squandered in dissipation in this period
not less than $3.50, 600 of his inamorata's
fortune.
Since his death she herself has plunged
madlY into dissipation. and it is now pro-
posed to incarcerate her and appoint a
conservator for the estate. which, notwith.
standing the drain upon it, exceeds in

TOOK POISON ON 4 CAR.
Florence Allen Tells Conductor Duff

Florence Allen Tells Conductor Duffy
He RouLd Be Rid of Her.
CHICAGO, ILL, Dec. FLORENCE Al
len took a swallow of carbolic acid in a
State-street car last night and told Con-
ductor James Duffy that he would now be
rid of her. She was taken to hospital
near by and will probably recover.
Miss Allen is a stenographer in the
freight Office of the Rock Island Railroad
and lives with her mother at 943 La Sale
street. 1t is not known where she boarded
Conductor Duffy's car, but at Sixty first
street she was sitting in one corner talking
to him earnestly.
A moment later several women in the
car saw her rise up drain small bottle
at her lips and throw 1t at Duffy. Duffy
ran from the car and called Policeman
Patton of the Englewood station, who had
Just left the car. To the policeman carry
ing her from the car the young woman
said that Duffy had told her to take the
poison. The conductordid not wait to see
whether it was life or death, because he
was due at the barns in five minutes. He
took his car in, changed his clothes and
left. He lives at 621 State street.
Two notes pinned 10 the lining of Miss
Aliens jacket indicate that Duffy has
wropged her. One OF them said he had
told her TO kill herself and he would stand
the expense. The other, to Duffy, de-
clared that she still loved the man.

Decision of a District Court That
Oscar Cespedes Must Be Tried
by Cour t.Martia

HAVANA, CUBA. Dec. 4.-The people OF
Havana are still in the dark so far as the
movements of General Weyler are con-
cerned. If the authorities have heard
anything definite from him since he went
into camp near Los Palmicos thew are
keeping their information to themselves.
They state that they are ignorant of his
present position. but that they know he is
carrying out in detail the plan of the cam
paign prepared before he left Havana.
Rumors regarding Maceo are many, but
little attention is paid to them.
The only definite news from the province
of Pinar del Rio is that the commands of
Generals Melouizo and Inclan have had
encounters with the rebels. The fight in
the Gobernado Hills yesterday was be-
tween General Inclan's command and a
band of rebels. No details of the engage
ment have been made publ and it is not
known which side was victorious.
A party of rebels who made an attack
at Fort Razen, province of Santiago de
Cuba, were repulsed. They were pursued
by the local guerrillas, who killed six in
surgents and wounded fourteen. The
troops had one officer and four privates
wounded.
Colonel Toro reports that his command
had defeated the rebels under Costello and
other leaders at Mazararo, province of
Havana. The rebels lost twenty-three
killed, while the Spanish loss was six
killed and eleven wounded.
The District Court of Matanzas has
given decision in the case of Oscar Cess
pedes, an American citizen who was cap
tured in the field and held as a prisoner
of war In San Severino Castle, Matanzas
The court holds that he must be handed
over to military tribunal for trial.
NEW YORK, N. Y. Dec. IA Times
special from Tampa says: Passengers who
arrived from Havana last evening report
that a fight has taken place between the
vanguard of Weyler's army and some of
Maceo's men, a large force on each side
being engaged. The Spanish army did
not come off with flying colors. 1t is re-
ported in Havana that Weyler has lost
two railroad trains from dynamite explo-
sions losing much-peeded army supplies
for his men that had been sent from
Havana.
Fifty persons arrested the past week
were deported yesterday, their future resi-
dence being a mystery, though Africa is
supposed to be the point of destination of
the ship.

COUNTERFEITISG SILVER COINS
An IndMcensent to Make Money as Good
Uncle Sans.


WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 3.-The re.
port of r. E. Preston, the Director of the
Mint, shows in elaborate details the
operations of the mInts and assay offices
during the fiscal year 1896, together with
statistics of foreign countries relative to
the production, coinage and monetary
conditions of each.
The total coinage of gold and silver BY
the various countries of the world was as
follows: Gold, 1921, oS7, 43s; silver. S121.-
610, 219. Total, 1882 697, 657. The total
metallic stock and uncovered paper in the
world was estimated on January 1. 1896
to be sic, 938, 600, 900. The Director recon-
mends that authority be gwen the Secre-
tary of the Treasury to have experime en- is
made to determine the best means of pre-
venting the counterfeiting OF silver coin.
age.
At the prevailing price of silver, the
difference between the bullion and the
nominal value of our silver coins is about
100 per cent, and this constitutes a great
tenn ptation for the STAN ping of such coins
by INSCRIPTIONS persons, attending them
an opportunity TO place in circulation
counterfeit silver coins at about 100 per
cent profit as good as those stamped by
the minis and which cannot be distin-
guished from them, even by experts.

HUNDREDS POISONED BY BREAD
An the Trouble Traced to One Bakery
but the Cause of the Poisoning
Is Mystery.

MILWAUKEE, WIS, Dec. 4.-The
Health Depar tment repol is the wholesale
poisoning of people in the northern part
of the city. Members of 100 families are
ill with all the symptoms of arsenic poi
soning. The people have been eating
bread purchased at bakery establish
ment on Sherman street. The physicians
are inclined to attribute the origin of the
wholesale poisoning to that source.
Many of the sick people are in a very
dangerous condition. Every body in the
neigh borhood is greatly excited and the
utmost indignation is felt against the pro-
prietor of the bakery. 1t is not believed
that the poison was put in the bread in
tentionally, but the people feel that suf-
ficient care was not taken in keeping dan
gerous ingredients out of it. The bakery
is quite an extensive one and hitherto has
had the reputation of being very good
one. The employees connected with it
cannot explain the bad effects caused by
the bread.
They assert that every precaution has
been taken to make the bread pure and
eaten of the bread. but found no bad
effects from it. They assert that there was
no reason for putting arsenic in it for the
purpose of improving the quality of it.
The proprietor of the suspected estab-
lishment denies that his bread is the cause
of the trouble, and has demanded an in
vestigation, which the health auth critics
have promised him. Specimens of the
bread have been sent for examination to
competent chemists, and until the result
of the examination has been made known
it will be impossible TO state with certainty
that the bread was the cause of the whole
sale illness.
The proprietor, while denying that his
bread is responsible, says that If 1t be so
it must have been due to the -four used by
him, as il could not have occurred in the
baking. There is, however, another theory
that the deed was done by discharged
workman in order to be revenged.

YET UNDER THE "EW EYE"
TrngicnI Story of Sarah AHhea Hill
Sharon Terry Resurrected by the
Escapades of Her HepheW,

CHICAGO, ILL, Dec. Am evening
paper prints the following: The trag ical
story OF the life of Sarah Althea Hill was
resurrected in the State Attorneys Office
this morning. Those people of a super
stitious turn of mind, who believe In the
existence of an evil eye, will find food for
thought and argument in the case of NJ.
F. Cohen, self-confessed thief, fugitive
from justice and nephew of the notorious
woman whose career brought infamy to
the name of some of the best-known peo-
pie in California.
The twenty-seven years of Cohen's life
have been almost as eventful as those of
his aunt. Surrounded by every luxury of
an ideal Southern home, with an unlim-
tied bank account and every inducement
to make his mark in the world, the 'evil
eye' of Sarah Althea Hill pursued him,
compelling him to fall lower and lower
until to-day he finds himself a prisoner
in the Cook County Jail, unable to furnish
bonds, and long penitentiary sentence
confronting him.
This is the story of high roller, whose
escapades and their results will be read
with interest in the principal cities of the
ton, Texas, and are wealthy. Several
years ago he was intrusted with money
belonging to his employer and left precip-
itately. He was arrested and taken to
his home, where his fathers standing
saved him. He was released on bail and
jumped his bonds. going to the Indian
Territory, where he had similar expert
ence. Criminal deeds were repeated at
Galveston and other Southwestern cities
where he is still wanted on forfeited bail
bonds. In the course of his travels he came
to Chicago.
George w. Riggs of the New York Life
Insurance Company was attracted by the
young man and, investigating his record,
befriended him, giving him employ ent
Cohen secured place for himself and his
wife with Mrs. Fox, Thirty-frs street and
Michigan avenue. He left without paying
MS bill. Mrs. Johnson of Seventy-sixt tn
street, Grand Crossing, was served in a
similar manner. Complaints began to
pour into the Office of Mr.. Riggs and he
Investigated the young mans accounts.
Shortage to the amount OF $500 was dis
covered and Cohen's arrest and indict-
ment followed. The latter was voted yes
terday. Cohen was arrested on the capias
this morning and lodged in the county
Jail.
Mr.. Riggs in the meantime Investigated
Cohen's record and secured an unusual
history of q life of crime. Cohen was
high liver and since his father disowned
him has been gam bling, drinking and
playing the races at the expense of numer-
Gus employers. AS direct result of the
knowledge thus secured, Mr.. Riggs made
a request at the Assistant State Attor-
ney's office this morning that any security
offered for him be gilt-edged as he feared
the fellow would escape punishment by
his usual method OF poor bonds. Mr..
Riggs was assured that unusual care
would be exercised in the case.

Terrible Suffering of Ttco Men Lost In q
Dory.
NEW YORK, N. Y, Dec. 4.-The North
German Lloyd steamer Dresden, which ar.
rived from Bremen last night, picked uI
two fishermen in a dory yesterday after
noon. The men were named Patrick
Foley and Joe Higgins. They belonged
aboard fishing schooner of Gloucester,
Mass.
On Saturday they lost sight of the
schooner during dense fog on the La
Havre banks and were unable to find her
again. There was no water in the boat
and no provisions, and the two men suf-
fered terribly from hunger and thirst. On
Monday it showed and they eat enough
snow to appease their thirst. but they had
no food until they were taken aboard the
Dresden.
Their hands were frost bitten, but the
surgeon of the Dresden says they will re-
cover the use of them in few days. When
picked up there was only one broken oar
in the dory. The others had been swept
away.

The x Ray In Evidence.

DENVER, CoLo., Dec. 4.-The Colorado
courts have allowed the x ray to be intro.
duced as expert testimony for the first
time since the marvellous discovery of its
penetrative power. After three days ar
gument by some of the most eminent
legal talent of the State, Judge Leievre
yesterday granted tie application in the
case of James Smith VS.. DR.. w. w. Grant.
The plaintiff asks for 500 600 damages for
false diagnosis. whereby he was treated
for confusion instead of a fracture, on
account of which he lost the use of one
leg. The x ray showed in court that
there was clearly defined fracture and
there would have been no suffering or de-
lay in procuring proper treatment, as it
was a simple fracture.
