French Secret Police Methods.

I once spent an afternoon in n pleas
ant little villa on the banks of the
Marne, with the former chief of police
in the time of Napoleon III, up to the
proclamation of the republic. No one
would have thought, to look at the
peaceful figure of the proprietor, a
little man in sabots, with gray beard
a la Millet, absorbed in cultivating
the magnificent hortensias that covered
his terraces, reaching to the waters
edge, that his head had been store
house for all the Vaccinations and
turpitudes of that period of decadence
which ended in disastrous war and
revolution. 1t was on that afternoon
that I learned how the fatal Olivier
ministry was decided upon by M.
Theirs and his political friends one
evening in the conservatory of beau
tiful French woman, living not far
from the Opera. Two brothers, well
known in the best Paris society, mean
while distracted the attention of the
guests in the salon by sleight-of-
tricks and gymnastic feats on a Per-
sian rug. And when asked the old

number about one per cent. of the
population. The wheelmen should

An amusing illustration of the fact
that the agitation in behalf of the in
crease of the navy has taken deep root
in the German nation was furnished
few days ago. A wealthy Berlin
manufacturer, Dorst. married few
months ago the daughter of Admiral
Rooster, and at first the union was
quite happy one. Then the hus-
band, who is politically follower of
Eugene Richter, the Socialist leader,
discovered that his young wife is an
enthusiastic supporter of the Emper-
or's naval plans, and she in turn dis
covered that he was violent oppo-
nent to those plans. She, besides, was
a member of something like German
Primrose league, and he forbade her
to attend those meetings. Hence
marital disharmony; hence, also, di-
vorce suit, tried in Berlin court.
They both got their decree on the
score of political incompatibility.''
