pretty blonde she was. Encouraged by
success, she attended Garat's concerts
then the rage-and tainted whenever he
got to a vocal climax. He was at first
subjugated. But he found that while
she was in her swoon, nobody paid the
least attention to him. This turned
the sweets of a dawning romance into
acid. The fair Lithuanian's tactics
were then used to captivate Napoleon.
At a court concert she thought fit to faint
again as Carat was singing. The first
consul ordered her to be taken to bed
room, placed under a doctors care, and
the musicians to go on with their pro-
gramme This insensibility turned her
into an enemy. She left France, set up
as prophecies in Germany and Russia,
predicted the fall of the Black Angel of
the Revolution, prophesied and tainted
herself into the favor of Alexander l.,
upset the treaty of pilsit, and, in 1914
prevented the imperial crown descending
from the abdicating Emperor OF the
French to the King of Rome.-Argonaut.

CAUGHT ON THE FLY.

Russia appears to be the place for
unappreciated singers. Little Sigrld Ar
noldson, who was here with her thread
like soprano voice three years ago, has
been singing in Russia nearly ali this
season and is to get $1,000 for every per-
Torrance in Moscow during the corona
ton ceremonies. Tamagno has been
singing in st. Petersburg with great sue
cess, and in a final performance of
"OtellO, which he gave at the pafUcu-
lar request of the court, the seats IN
the orchestra which were reserved tor
the nobility sold for $50 apiece. lie had
to get permission from Princess Alice OF
Monaco to remain in st. Petersburg
for this performance, and 1t is said that
Maj. Domo of the court. who wanted to
make him present of money on behalt
of the Gar, hesitated to do it and gave
his daughter a set of jewels instead.
Evidently the Russian idea of the tenors
disposition differs as much from the
American as the estimates OF his tai
ents. The notion that he would hesitate
to accept the present seem lncongruous
in view of the fact that he used to sell
at the box office here the complimentary
tickets given to him, carried his brother
along as his valet, and rolled his trunk
down the pier to the steamer himself to
save fee to the porter.-New York Sun.
Two correspondents of the Chicago
Evening Post furnish the following YER
sions OF the prayer of Mary Queen of
Scots, in Latin:
O Domino Deus,
SperaVi in tie!
Adore, imploro, ut There's me.
In dura catena,
In miSera pOena,
LanguendO, gemendO ct genu fectendo,
Adore implOro, ut liberer me!
The second is this:
O Domino Deus! speravi in tie;
O cara me Jesu. nunc liberia me.
In dura catena, in misera poena desideTo tie
Languendo, gemendO ct genu fectendo,
Adore, implOro, ut There's me.
A portly old gentleman was with diff
fculty making his way down the street
on a very windy day. The strong gusts
occasionally carried him from side TO
side in lacking sort of fashion, which
finally brought him up with a crash
against an Irishman who was plastering
show bills on a fence. The old gentle
man very politely begged the bill posters
pardon. and hoped he had not incOn1eni-
enced him much by getting in his way.
SO much politeness puzzled the bill pos
ter, and in a rich Irish brogue, he re-
piled:

To Remove Rust From kinen.

Stains of rust may be removed from
fine linen and similar fabrics without
injury to the material The articles
must be first well soaped, as if they
were to be washed in the ordinary way.
An iron is heated and on this laid a
wet cloth When the heat makes the
cloth steam the rust stain is laid on it
and a little oxalic acid is rubbed on
with the finger. The heat and the
moisture hasten the effect of the acid
on the rust, and when this has disap-
peared the soaping and rubbing may be
continued.

Another Woman of the Town Choke ed
to Death at San Francisco.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 10.-Another
woman of the town was strangled early
this morning under circumstances iden-
teal with the two other murders that
have taken place recently in the same
locality. Early this morning a woman
named Bertha Paradis of No. 81
st. Marys street, was found dead
in her bed by her lover. When
found she was half reclining on the bed,
her feet resting on the floor. She had
been strangled, handkerchief having
been thrust down her throat The room
was in perfect order. The girl lay fully
dressed on her bed.
There were no marks of violence on
her neck. She had apparently been
seized and a napkin as we'll as a handker-
chief had been crowded down her throat.
The money on her person was not touch
ed nor had there been any urgent efforts
to go through the bureau drawers. or
other places where money might
be kept. The police believe they have
gained slight clew to the criminal. j.
P. Myler, who is a waiter in the saloon
on the corner, was summoned about 2
o'clock to take drinks to Bertha Paradis'
ROOM
When he delivered the drinks he found
two men in the woman's room. About
30 minutes later one of the men came
into the saloon. He was a blonde of me-
dunn height and Myler is sure that he is

SEPTIMUS ANDREW INSANE
Thinks He is the POSsessOr of a I2O

Foot TaPeWOrm.
ARKANSAS CITY, Kan, March TO-
Sheriff Skinner has applied to the insane
asylum authorities for admission for
Septimus Andrews.
Saturday night Sept came very near
killing himself with a small pair of
tweezers, such as BARRIERS use for pulling
dead hairs from the flesh. The tweezers
were concealed on him in such a maa-
ner that they were not found when the
officers searched him. He gut cash in
the side of his neck which had TO be
dressed by doctor and needed five
stitches to close up. ~
He said that he had tape worm 1870
feet long in his body and that the head
of it was in hissueck. His wound was
made in trying to cut of the tape worms
head.
The history of Mr. Andrews is a sad
one. Only short time since he was
one of the most prosperous business men
of Cowiey county, running two harness
stores. He became a victim to the NOR
phine habit, neglecting his business
until the creditors have taken it.
