End Comes to the Famous French Nov.
elfsr In Paris.
PARIS, Dec. 16-Alphonse Daudel
died while at dinner in Paris to-day
At 100 o'clock the whole family met
at dinner-Mme. Daudet, the two sons
Leon and Lucien, Mile. Edmee Daudel
and Nine. Allard, Nine. Daudet's moth
er. The gathering was merry one
and there was plenty of chat and
laughter. Suddenly Daudet gave cry
his head fell back. He had fallen into
a syncOpe.
1t was then SIS o'clock. Everything
senger was at once sent for Dr. Giles
de la Tourette. The family's anxiety
was extreme, for Daudet showed nc
signs of recovery of consciousness. He
had been carried to bed very pale and
almost cold, and it was in vain his
wife and sons bent over him and called
him by name.
After few minutes of dreadful sus-
pense the doctors reached the house and
with them the Cure of Sainte Clotide. AS
they entered the room the priest caught
the doctors eyes and fell on his knees,
reciting the prayers for the dead. Ev-
cry resource of science was called into
requisition, strong restoratives were
administered and even applications of
electricity were tried, but it was too
late Alphonse Daudet was dead.

STRANG VISITS OF DEATH.
4 Grewsome Tradition at Princeton Again
Fuliucd.


Princeton. \. J., June 26.-William
y. Thompson. a prominent citizen OF
Princeton. was driving on Nassau
street when a wheel came off the axle
of his vehicle hurting Mr.. Thompson
head foremost TO the pavement and
causing instant death. He was 81 years
Of age and was well known in secret
society circles of the State, being a
high degree member of the Masonic
and Odd Fellows order. He was also
a member Of the G. A. R. and the com
mander of the local post.
Mr.. Thompson conducted a bakery
and restaurant on the lower floor OF a
building at 130 Nassau street. \
strange fatality seems to attach to this
building. A tradition among the Old
residents of the neighborhood tells OF
q great wrong done the builder, Who
ever he may have been, in the dim past,
for which his wrathful shade returns
no the spot once in every hall decade
10 wreak vengeance upon whoever
NAV be the innocent occupant at the
time of his visiJaJions.
Whatever foundation or lack or
foundation there may be for this super
stitious tradition. it is fact that dur
ing the past twenty-five years violent
death has overtaken various occupants
of the fated building at intervals OF hVe
years. In 1872 a DR.. Baker, who con-
Quoted a drug store in the building
was accidentally killed. His successor
in business was Alexander Gray, VINO
oisl met a sudden and violent death, IN
1877 inst five years after the decease
of DIR Baker. In 1882 a Mir. BuSen-
berry. then the occupant OF the build
ine. died suddenly in an alcoholic nj.
Between 1882 and 1887, one Oscar Grin
nell was a temporary occupant of the
property. He suddenly disappeared
and has never been heard from since:
In 1887 five years after the death OF
Rusenberry. Emil Shook, who then con-
Quoted drug store in the condemned
building. was struck by locomotive on
rho Pennsylvania railroad, at Princeton
U.1cticn. and Instantly killed. When
the next five years rolled around, IN
1890 Louis Wolf. a druggist, who sue
eeeded Shook in the property. as II I'M
PEELED by some hidden influence to keep
M the record. went out one quiet AFTER
noon and committed suicide. After the
death Of Wolf the owner Of the property
was unable 70 induce anyone TO take
ir for some time. Two years ago its
owner repaired a portion Of the lower
srorv and William n Thompson took
ii for his restaurant and bakery bust
ness.

A Bold TramD,

Quite sensation was created at
West End yesterday morning about 6
o'clock, when tramp, bold and free,
entered the residence by the back door
entrance of Mr.. John McGrath, and
when discovered was helping himself
to several nice articles of clothing,
which were hanging in the back hall.
The cook made the discovery and gave
a telling alarm, when Mr.. McGrath.
who was sitting in a room adjoining
with his wife, forgetting his three
score and ten, quickly collared the
aforesaid tramp and gave him what Ba-
laam gave his ass, although he made
show of fight. Then farming" him,
he marched the illfeatured fellow up
town, where was soon arraigned before
Mayor Daughtry and given Jail SEN
tence of days.
The lesson to all, in this in
cident is apparent-keep your doors
locked and sleep with one eye open.

Don't imagine for a minute that fine
dresses and accomplishments will deceive
anybody. Murder will out Everybody
knows that. Ralph Waldo Emerson said
this in another way. He said practically
that you couldn't hide anything you did
He said that what people do, and what they
think, and what they eat show in their faces.
The body is a plastic record. 1t shows
plainly what is being done to it and with it.
1t tells the condition of the digestive or
gans. 1t plainly blabs about constipation.
Foul breath. dull eyes, listlessness, sallow-
ness, pimples are almost unmistakable
symptoms. Don't believe that you are the
only one that knows your condition. Con-
stipation is a serious matter. There Is no
form of sickness it may not lead to. 1t fills
for the reception of any sort of disease
germs. 1t is easy to let it run on into some
thing serions. 1t is easier to cure it. There
is safe, certain comfortable cure for such
constipation. This cure comes in little walls.
Its name is DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.
The Pellets" are tiny, sugar-coated gran
ules. One Is gentle laxative two mild
cathartic. They cure constipation In a per-
fectly natural way. You do not become a
slave to their use. There are hundreds of
preparations offered for this same purpose
but none so certain, and none so safe. The
trouble with most of them is that they are
violent and in curing one disorder, start
others. Dyspepsia may come Just as quickly
from taking strong medicines, as from tax
ing no medicine at all. Sometimes the rem
edy is worse than the disease. There is no
other preparation similar to DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets, and so there can be MOTH
ing Just as good" Druggists sell them

passed away and he did not return,
when his sister went in search of him
and found him in the creek dead. The
horse on which he was riding being

that from fright the horse fell from

SHE LEFT HER BABY,
Woman From New Orleans Creates A
Sensation.

Woman From New Orleans Creates A
Sensation.
When the fast mail left New Orleans
at 7:15 last night handsome young
woman was one of the passengers. She
carried several bundles, as do most
other women coming out of New Or
leans, and this fact created no sort of
comment. Finding seat about the
middle of the coach the woman made
herself as comfortable as possible, de-
posting her largest bundle under the
seat in front of her, huddled up in the
corner, and to all appearances was a
simple everyday kind of a passenger
lady who had spent the day shop
ping in the city, and now en- route
home.
Arrived at Kentwood, La, the wo-
man grabbed up her bundles and left
the car-that is, she took some of her
bundles, and nothing more was thought
of her till the train was we'll under
a noise was heard on the car. A sound
that was perfectly familiar to every
one on board, the wall of an infant.
No one knew there was baby on
board, but investigation proved there
was, and that it was in the bundle the
woman had left under the seat. The
FOR
but willing hands soon had the young
ster unwrapped and everybody on the
coach took look and expressed their
opinion of any woman who would thus
desert a three-weeks old child.
After the discovery of the baby the
passengers remembered that the wo-
man had not shown her face to any of
them, and ill fact it was the general
opinion she was in disguise.
The conductor took charge of the
baby and leaving it with the depot
agent at Osyka telegraphed particu-
lars to Kentwood so that the woman
could be located.
The woman was found, the baby was
returned to her and she was made to
keep it. Conductor Dunbar's friends
guyed him no little about the baby,
and when Conductor Belts, who was
on the south-bound train restored the
infant to its mother, he headed Dun
bar off at Canton with telegram like
