SEVEN NUNS PERIsHEp,
Lost Their Lives in the Burn,nv =,
Convent.

ottawa, Jan. S.-The convent of tbo
Orsuline nuns at Roberval, on Lake 81
John, about l2O miles north of Quebec
was destroyed by fire, which broke ont
at d O'Clock this morning, and seven
sisters are known to have perished in
the flames, while about fifty inmotas
had very narrow escapes. Were if NOT
that most of the students of the con.
vent had gone home for the HOLIDAYS
the loss of life might have been
greater. The students were to have re-
turned tomorrow. Ordinarily there are
about thirty inmates in the institution
and about fifty pupils.
The village has no water works and
the work Of saving the contents was
therefore made difficult, while the
names had made such heavy headway
that their extinguishment was an inn.
possibility. Many of the nuns and
pupils slept in dormitory on the
fourth floor. There is fireproof tower
near this, but the rapidity with which
the flames spread prevented the nuns
from reaching it. They were smoth.
cred by the smoke.
Several nuns were badly burned in
trying to extinguish the fire. The
convent and the school are nothing but
mass OF ruins. Just how the fire
started is not known certainly, but this
being the Feast of Epiphany, it is sup.
posed that a lighted candle near the
cradle Of the infant Jesus ignited the
draperies and floral ornamentations.
The fact that all parts of the convent
were uncompleted caused the fire tc
spread more rapidly. The convent was
stone building, five stories high, and
of 100 feet frontage, and was built
eight years ago. The Ursuline nuns
of Quebec, by whom it was first con
trolled, are the oldest order in Canada,
and it was in cavity made by the
bursting of a shell within their convent
at Quebec that General Montcalm was
buried after his death upon the Plains
/ Of Abraham.

MAN OF MANY GRIMES.
Partial Catalogue Of which is Prepared
From Many Cities.

Chicago, Jan. 7.-"Count" Guigle-
mo J. de Custer, alias DR.. Juster, alias
DR.. F. s. Rhodes, said to be Rou-
manian of excellent family, and who
processes to be studying dentistry in
America, has been arrested in this city.
He is said to be wanted for several
offenses in Buffalo, N. Y, New York
city, Brooklyn, Boston, Leadville and
Denver.
Wife abandonment, embezzlement,
forgery, swindling, bigamy and obtain
ing money under false pretenses are
some of the charges for which he is
wanted in various parts of the country,
and it is believed he has obtained in
all about 800, 900 by his alleged ille-
gal methods since he came to America,
three years ago.
He is a young man, dressed in the
height of fashion and stopped at the
best hotels in the American cities he
has visited. In Brooklyn he married
the daughter of prominent jeweler
and deserted her August 81 last and
went West. At Leadville he is
charged with swindling a citizen out
of house and lot. He is also charged
with forgery. Going from there to
Denver he continued his fraudulent
methods. Soon after his departure for
this city Chief of Police Russell, of
Denver, learned of the former swindles
he had perpetrated, and sent his descrip-
ton to the police of this city. Here,
while in dire distress, after having
been elected from two big hotels for
non-payment of bills, he met Belle
Cults. who, the police say, is an ad-
ventures, and a marriage with her
soon followed. He will be turned
over to the Brooklyn authorities as
soon as an officer arrives, and will be
prosecuted there, it is said, on the
charge of wife abandonment.

For Advertising Purposes.

Experiments have lately been made
In Switzerland with view TO putting
the beautiful lakes Of that country to
some practical account.
Hitherto these waters have been ad-
mired merely because of their natural
beauty, but now some enterprising
business men have devised a scheme
by which they may be made useful for
advertising purposes.
The plan Is to paint the words or
the advertisement in big white letters
on a black background.
When sunk and securely held at the
bottom OF the lake, the advertisement
is perfectly leglble, the reflection OF the
light on passing through the water
bringing the words near the surface.
1t is announced that hitherto the ex-
periments that have been made have
been very successful.

THE LOUD POSTAL BILL.
Passed tho Honse After Two Days OF
Spirited Debate.

Washington, Jan. S.-The Loud bill
to amend the law relating to second
class mail matter was passed by the
house today, after two days. of debate,
by vote Of 144 to 1O5. The opposi-
tion to the bill made a strong fight
against it. The most important provi-
sion Of the bill denies to serial publ
cations admission to the mails at one
cent per pound rates. The provision
is as follows:
"ThN nothing herein contained
shall be SO construed as to admit to the
second-class rate publications purport-
ing to be issued periodically and to
subscribers, but which are merely
books or reprints of books, whether they
be issued complete or in parts; whether
they be bound or unbound; whether
they be sold by subscription or other
wise, or whether they purport to be
premiums or supplements or parts of
regular newspapers or periodicals."
The bill also denies to newspaper 8
the "sample-copy" privilege, and the
privilege enjoyed by news dealers of
returning unsold publications at the
second-class rate.
The only other important change in
the present law provides that publish
ers whose publications are admitted as
second-class matter shall be required,
before depositing such mail matter in
the postoffice, to separate the same into
United States mail sacks or bundles by
states, cities, towns or counties, as the
postmaster general shall direct
