VERY FLIPPANT
Not Concerned Over
Her Trial.
PRETTY AND WELL DRESSED
BUT 1T LOOKS AS THOUGH SHE
POISONED HER HUSBAND.
Testimony introduced That Puts the
Duped Scenic Artist in
Most Unpleasant
Light.
BUT IT LOOKS AS THOUGH SHE
POISONED HER HUSBAND.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

PARIS, March 6.-Mme. Charles BIZ
anchini. wife of the famous and popu-
lar scenic artist, arrested last Novem-
Der on the charge of attempting to
poison him, was. placed on trial to-day.
The courtroom was crowded with fash
ionable women, many prominent peo-
pie being present.
The prisoner. who was elegantly at
tired, conducted herself in the most
nonchalant fashion and fatty denied
the accusation. The evidence showed
that, after sQuadering his wife's for
tune of 10000 francs, NJ. Bianchini, in
order to prevent his home being sold.
allowed NJ. Mayer, a weII-known theat-
rical critic, to become his wife's lover.
NJ. Mayer took his meals at the house
and practically lived there.
When the parties were trying to ar
range a divorce NJ. Bianchini used TO
be found in the morning with the pu-
pills Of his eyes terribly dilated. his face
black, venous blotches on his chest and
his limbs QuiVering- He generally re-
covered toward evening.
One popularity of the case which
presents many mysteries is that M.
BianChini still declares that he does not
believe his wife guilty.
About six months before Nine. Bian-
chinIs arrest her husband was sud
denly attacked by a mysterious malady
which the physicians diagnosed differ
emily. One of them declared his belief
that the symptoms were those of afro
pine poisoning, and thereupon Bian-
chinrs friends, Messrs. Carr and Gail
hard, directors of the Grand Opera,
took it upon themselves to carry him to
a distant village away from his wife.
There he recovered rapidly. When the
police arrested Nine. BianChini they
found bottles of atropine in the house.
She is said to be a very pretty woman
and to have taken the arrest and all the
subsequent proceedings hippantly.

TERMS:

Since that notorious French court of
injustice rendered its inhuman decision
of 5 to 2 for the conviction of Alfred
Dreyfus. the subject has been discussed
in every household of the civilized
world, and the sympathy of all goes out
to the condemned man, This is the
greatest injustice that has ever been
perpetrated by a civilized government
since the world began, and the whole
trial has been complete farce in every
particular. There has not been one
shadow of evidence upon which it would
be possible to find verdict of guilty, as
any person who has followed the line of
testimony can see. The heart of human
ity was wrung with sorrow and pity
when in '94 this innocent man was found
guilty, but this time: thelperjury of his
judges was aggravated ten fold for those
who were considered the most damaging
witnesses for the defence five years ago
this time came in to aid the martyr.
There is some shadow of hope still left
that the Court of Cessation will order
new trial. and that justice will be given
him at last but still it is understood
that the matter has now gone beyond the
of that court, and the only
outcome of the matter now is that the
man must 60 to military
prison in Africa, where if the powers
above are willing the combined ingenu-
ty and pluck of the whole world will in
some way succeed in securing his re-
ease. But in the meantime what will |

Want Dewey mt Princeton.

Princeton, N. j., Sept. lit has been
learned here that movement is ON foot
to obtain Admiral Dewey as the guest of
honor for the celebration Of the one hun
dred and tifty-third anniversary Of the
founding of the university, to be held on
Oct. %. President Patton and the mem
bers of the celebration committee are
still out of town. but although it has not
been officially confirmed that the invita-
ton has already been sent to Admiral
Dewey it is nevertheless believed that
this has been done Several members of
the faculty have expressed an opinion
that the committee in charge have acted
on the matter. Dean Winans said 1t was
highly probable the invitation has been
or at least would be sent to Admiral
Dewey. George Dewey, son Of the ia
nous naval commander, graduated from
the university in 1885, and Admiral
Dewey received the degree of LII. D.
from the university soon after the battle
of Manila. Extended preparations are
being made for the celebration.

stop in his peregrinations and lay over
for a rest, the freight Car in which he
travels being "Side Tracked" at the
Barre opera house September 70. The
play is we'll known as good, rafting,
sensational comedy, ohock full of fun,
fire and ginger, and having been en-
lirely rewritten and straig hteneti, play
ed with a fine cast, composed OF well
known and fully proficient profession
ais, is making a hit this season greater
than ever. The plot, while not deep, is
thrillingly interesting, and serves to
amuse and entertain, as it shows the
true inwardness of certain hypocritical
human beings, and the innate nobility
of character of one OF the genus homo
called "a tramp" proving the truth of
the aXiOms: cit is not the clothes that
make the man." or "A ragged coat may

A complete new outfit of stage effects
and picturesque scenery is used this
