MARQUIS De MOREs
GIGANTIC SCHEMES OF THE &c
CENTRIC FRENCHMAN.
DIZZY CAREER IN AMERICA
His Last Undertaking a Declaration of
War Against Great Britain-His
Wife Wealthy New York Beauty
The Story of His Death Is
Doubted.

1t has been hard for the friends in
this country of the young Marquis dc
Mores to believe the story that he was
murdered by Snoussis tribesmen in the
desert of Sahara. Yet the story of the
death seems based on solid founda'
ton, and funeral services for the young
adventurer have even been held in
Paris The world has lost most
picturesquely unique figure. The first
rumor of the murder was followed a
day or two later by cablegram from
Tunis saying that servant of the
marquis had arrived there with the
announcement that de Mores and a
large number Of his party were MUIR
dered by natives near Gadames. The
servant was one of the few to escape
the attacking party, and managed to
reach Tunis on foot.
II the motive of the killing could be
carefully investigated it might be
found that the death Of de Mores was
due to something more powerful than
the native ferocity. About June l
Paris was startled by the news that de
Mores had declared war against all of
Great Britain. If the name of any
other man had been used in this con-
nection Paris would have regarded it

among the toughs and bad men, but he
won scores Of friends among the re-

courage is best illustrated by the fol-
lowing little incident, related by a
witness of the scene:
One day de Mores had business in
Miles City Mont. After he was done
with his business he went to the hotel
to take a drink. The barroom was
well filled. but de Mores walked
straight TO the bar, ordered his drink,
and asked never a one of those in the
room to join him. This was unpar-
donable. AS he was turning away
from the bar the report Of pistol rang

HIS LAST TRICK.
How an American Prestidigitator Sat
isfied a Curious Englishman.

A well-known American prestidigita.
tor was a passenger recently on one 4,
the big Atlantic liners, homeward
bound from England. He is a good.
natured conjurer, and many times IN
the smoking-room he exhibited bie
skill in performing tricks for tho
amusement of the other PASSENGERS
One of the frequenters of the smoking.
room was an Englishman, who seemed
to be unable to get enough of the con.
1urer's tricks. Almost every time the
American entered The room the Eng.
lishman demanded something more
and usually the American compiled
The conjurer took part in the ship's
concert and did lot of surprising
things with cards. The Englishmau
was in front seat and followed the
performance with absorbed interest
But the next morning when the Amer
lean walked into the smoking-room
after breakfast the Englishman repeat
ed his old demands. The conjurer
picked UP from one of the little tables
pack Of cards, which had been used
in the whist game of the evening be-
fore. He handed it to the Englshman
and said:
.Pick out a card"
The Englishman ran over the pack
and made mental note of his selection.
Shuttle them up" commanded the
prestidigitator
The Englishman shuffied the cards
severely, cut, and shufiled again. Then
the conjurer shuffled them. After that
he laid them out, one by one. in small
little piles. The Englishman watched
him with rapt attention. The conjurer
gathered up the little piles and gave
the pack to the Englishman again
Shuttle them again." he said
The Englishman did it, and then the
conjurer picked up the pack and said:
"Now do you remember what card II
was you selected"
ooh, yes" answered the Englishman.
Il remember ii
Sure you haven't forgotten
"Of course not"
"You can name the card?"
Certainly"
well, then, there is no use of tell
ing you what it is.
And the eonjurer threw down the
cards, and went out followed by roars
of laughter from those who had seen
the trick-New York Sun.

as huge joke. The idea of a single
individual declaring war against a
great, powerful nation representing
nearly 800, 100000 OF subjects ought to
be funny. But Paris took the news
seriously. So did England They both
knew the marquis.
The marquis was on his way to the
he was killed 1t was his intention to
join in the war of the Mahdists against
England. The English invading
forces are now we'll on their way to
Dongola, and by September or October
they hope to retake Khartoum For
many months past de Mores lived in
the great desert He hated English
men with the ferocity of a monomaniac.
For many years he wrote pamphlets
denouncing the English, and asserting
that the root of all evil in the world
was due to the English He hoped to
see the day when the last Englishman
was wiped off the face OF the globe, and
then there would be chance for uni
yersal peace and prosperity.
When the English first began to
think about invading the Soudan and
long before the public got wind of the
news de Mores journeyed post-haste to
Northern Africa. He had many
friends among the native leaders in
Alg1ers and Tunis and they saw to it
that he was taken safely from one en-
campment of Arabs TO another. Every
where he preached the doctrine of a
holy war against the English, urging
the natives to revolt and drive the in
vaders out Of Africa. Talk OF this
kind was like pouring oil on burning
finder In his last letters to his Paris
friends de Mores wrote encouragingly
OF his great undertaking. He expect
ed to gather about him large number
of small chiefs and their tribesmcn and
with his miscellaneous army join the
forces Of 0sman Digna at Dongola or
Wady Halfa. There he expected to
give battle to the Anglo-Egyptian army
upon its arrival
That de Mores could work great injury
to the English cause in the coming
conflict in the Scudan can be easily I'M
derstood. He was great favorite
with the Arab chiefs because of his
dauntess courage, his rowing spirit
and fierce hatred of the English As a
fighter he was unriyaled. He believed
in literal predestination and his count

made him careless Of his life
He proved this trait dozen years
ago in this country and there ere many
bad men in the west today who can
tell thrilling tales about the marquis
There are some others, too. but they
are under ground His friends
here are numbered by the hundred
They knew that the marquis in the old
days was crafty as well as brave, and
Ii is this which makes them believe
that the de Mores Will yet turn up alive
They say II would be just like him to
have the rtImor of his death circulated

A FAMOUS RUSSIAN REGIMENT.

Organized by Peter the Great and Always
 a Favorite with the Czar
 The Preobrajenski regiment of the imperial guards, which has taken so important part in the ceremonies ac- companying the funeral of the late AL exander H., and which has had the honor of precedence over all the other regiments of Russia, in so far as to be first among the troops to take the oath of allegiance to the youthful Czar Nicholas H., is one of the oldest regi- ments in the army of the imperial guard and may be said to owe its origin to Peter the Great, who, when but boy at Preobrajensl1i, near Mos COW, formed his playmates into little band of miniature soldiers, and thus at the age of eleven years gave an early proof of his faculty for organization. This little force was subsequently, called ''La Compagnie de Divertisse- ment de Pierre le Grand" It was the wish of his imperial highness the late Czar Alexander III. to be inferred in the uniform of his favorite regiment, as indeed it was also the desire of his predecessor, Alexander II.
 The present Czar Nicholas IT. is colonel of the famous Preobrajenski regiment, and at the various state functions consequent to his office all most invariably wears the costume of the regiment to which he is most at tached. The uniform is a dark blue one, and his imperial majesty, when attired in the full dress uniform of his rank, with golden epaulettes and wear ing the light blue riband of the Order of St. Andrew. is said to look exceed ingly well.
 BARRELS of wine, anchors, scythes- in fact all kinds of merchandise-are conveyed by the post office department.
