Georgina Weldon. the prophecies of
evil as she has been called. has been
asked to come out of the convent and to
leave behind the cell in which she injured
herselffi. to occupy a conspicuous position
at the Paris exposition.
Mrs. Weldon, who claims to be in COM
munication with spirits and who hears
spirit voices, will be offered up, if her
friends can so persuade her, as a fortune
telling attraction at the exposition. Her
work will be to forecast and ~foretell the
future, not by signs or cards as most for
tune tellers work, but by actually looking
into the future, at which work she is as
sisted by the spirits, who have been of so
much assistance to her in a material way
thus far in her career.
France has always had its seers and pro-
phe,esses. In the days of Louis XVI. and
Marie Antoinette there was Madame Lee
ncrmant. and there were also the Mire-
courts and Madame Theroigne. These peo-
pie predicted sorrow for Marie Antoinette,
though possibly the horoscope of Franc,
was visible at that time to more than they,
and they told the unhappy queen that heI
days would end in precisely the manner in
which they did.
Not to be outdone by the seers of an ear.

LA TOsCA."

AS jealous as could be and as true as
steel was the acting Of pretty Blanche
Walsh in la Tosca' at the Margaret
theater last evening which was Well fill
ed with a more than appreciative audi
ence. Blanche Walsh and Melbourne
MacDowell in the leading roles are sup
ported by a good cast. Miss Walsh is
the central figure in La Tosca.' Her
Jealousy Of her lover was complete but
when trouble overlook him she was as
true as steel under the most humiliating
torture on the part Of the Baron Scarpia
(MacDowell) whom she stabs to death
on the night her lover was to hang upon
his orders. Miss Walsh has a sweet voice.
She is a good tragedian and won favor
last night as no other actor has done at
the Margaret this season.

court to court, getting frequent injunctions
against him and making applications for
ms imprisonment. For this she was placed
In an insane asylum, and succeeded in get
ting herself from asylum to asylum by
lawsuits. Ten years ago she retired to o
convent, but it is said that she has been
out since that time, and that she was in
Paris last year, but this cannot be proven.
1t is thought chat she was there.
The Dreyfus pamphlet which has at
tracted so much attention is supposed to
be the voice of Victor Hugo talking
through Madame Weldon. The pamphlet
Is most curious. 1t is filled with the con-
versation of the boulevards, and the death
OF the nation is freely predicted for its
treatment of Dreyfus.
If Madame Weldon can be persuaded to
visit the exposition and install herself
there as a teller Of fortunes, she would be
speedily able to make her own fortune, for
she is one of the most interesting charac-
tiers of the present day.
Mrs. Weldon's work is dedicated to
Colonel Picquart, in favor of whom Fran
els de Presense has appealed to the Eu-
menides in these words: 'Just goddesses,
weave for him the wreath of heroes and
brand the others with the red iron of eter-
mai infamy."

Il side to her own story.
me most conspicuous event Of her ca
reel was her life with Gounod. At one time
his landlady, she came to be his friend
and ardent admirer. She represented to
the old gentleman that she was a fanatic
upon the subject of music and then she
worshipcd him as though he were a saint.
Then she turned upon Gounod and sued
bin for all the money he had saved. She
had come in possession of a copy of his
opera, Georges Dandin," claiming that it
belonged to her. Gounod then rewrote the
entire opera from memory, but when he
published 1t she sued him for $50, 900, and
was allowed damages by the courts. 1t
was said at one time that she influenced
Gladstone, but If so she did not profit by
1t In a material way.
She at one tim persuaded the public of
France that Gounod had forsaken France
for England. and the feeling against him
was very strong for a while. 1t is said
that his life was shortened by his ac-
quaintance with her.
Henri Rochefort once wrote derisive COM
ments about her and she pursued him from

TO Frances treatment Of Dreyfus. Her
pamphlet, The conspiracy of the General
Staff declares that the French govern
nient and the French army are all COM
h'ned against Dreyfus. and that at the
proper day the conspiracy will all be I'M
yelled.
This pamphlet was suppressed, and Ma
ds me Weldon, in order to give it a general
circulation, was accused of having sold it
upon the street in person. Whenever she
| appeared she was hooted and cheered &C.
fcording to the Dreyfus or anti-Dreyfus sem
tinent of the crowd.
Early in the present year she disappeared
and her friends, not knowing where she
was, succeeded in la~boriously tracing her
to a convent. The Dreyfus people tried
to persuade her to come out of her cell
and oeffred to draw her in a gilded chariot
if she would join them once more.
At once the most dangerous and the most
attractive woman of France. Georgina
Weldon has led a life which, had it be
longed to a woman of less talent, would
be stamped with the word adventures
