ESTERHAZY'S FLIGHT
Is the Reigning Sensation in Paris
Today.

Paris, Feb. 2.-Comte Esterhazy's
flight to evade arrest on the charges
brought against him by his cousin,
Christian Esterhazy, of obtaining mon
ey under fraudulent pretenseS, has been
the sensation of the day. On reading
the warning letter, which was brought
to him by a detective, EsterhaZy swore
and called the letter trick worthy of
the beasts I have had to deal with.
drawal of the safe conduct granted him
was the outcome of his treatment of NJ.
Bertulus, the magistrate and of his re-
fusal to give further testimony.
The latest victim of the anti-DreyfuS
party is the grand Rabbi Zado Khan,
who is being del1ounced as 1.-The ring

LIE Soir demands the resignation of
the rabbi, and as the latter is virtually
a state official it is not unlikely that the
agitation will become a serious matter
for him. The editor of LIE Soir, which
is one of the most violent of the anti
Dreyfusard organs, is himself a Jew,
named CASTOR Hollonais
According to a dispatch to La Presse,
from Cayenne, capital of French Gui-
ana, Dreyfus was so angry on learning
that Captain Lebrun Renault had as
serted that he confessed at the time of
his trial and degradation that he de-
clined to answer any more of the queS-
tions put to him by the court of cas-
sation unless taken back to France.

CORNISH POISONING CASE
Will be Formally Taken Up by the
Coroner on Friday.

New York, Feb. 2.-Activity is prom
Used in investigating the poisoning of
Mrs. Adams. Acting on the orders of
District Attorney Gardiner, Coroner
Hart today designated Friday the
day on which he should begin the in
quest.
There is now a rounding up of all wit
nesses in the case and by Friday all
those who have had any connection
whatever with the investigation as
made during the past four weeks will
either be required to furnish proper
guarantee that they will be ready to go
on the witness stand or will be detained
in charge of police officials. Chief of De-
tectives McCIuskey declared today that
a new and important clew had been
discovered in the poison mystery and
that before the week is out disclosures
will be made that will cause a great
surprise. He refused to make any fur
Their definite statement in the matter.
Two members of the Knickerbocker
club, not yet mentioned as suspects,
are attracting the attention of the de-
tectives. Information tending to con-
meet them with the case has come to
Captain McCluskey's notice. 1t is said
that in the case of each man there ex-
lists a motive that might lead him to
attempt the life of Harry Cornish.
The question of motive in the Barnet
case is receiving special attention at
present from Captain McCluskey. In
this he thinks may be found the key
to the whole mystery.

Solo in Cuban Stores.

Although at this writing Cuban stores
may be much depleted in stock as they,
and their proprietors, have suffered Sc
verely because of war, anyone going to
the island in normal times expecting to
find a poor array of stores, with an in
different class of goods, would be much
surprised. The styles offered in the
dress goods stores are largely Partisan.
Because of the climate and dearth of
demand, it is quite impossible to buy
wooden goods, but the most exquisite
linens, Irish and Spanish, light and
heavyweight, white and figured, besides
the most beautiful handmade Iaces
and embroidery could be had under the
old regime at about one-half of their
cost in the United States. It has been
a custom of only recent years for Cuban
women to wear hats; they preferred the
lace shawl or mant1IIa, which they threw
over the head in an artful way, and 1
never saw mil1iner's store on the
island.-Extract Consul Hyat's Book.

FIRE AND OPIUM
Cause the Destruction of a Chinese
Town and the Death of
Inhabitants.

Vancouver, B. c., Feb. 2.-Chinatown
at the big Chemainus lumber mills near
Nanaimo, the coal center of the prov
ince, has been almost completely des-
troyed by fire and a number of Chinese
burned to death. After work the Mon
goIians built a huge fire in the center
of the Chinese quarter and proceeded to
smoke opium. All became befuddled
and the flames catching the f1imsy
cabins of the settlement gained head
way before the opium drugged Chinese
realized their predicament. Then they
rushed blindIy into the flames. Scenes
of the widest description were witness
ed by the white settlers who went to the
rescue.
The f1imsy sl1acks burne3 fierce1y and
soon they were a mass of smoking
ruins. 1t was then ascertained that at
least two Chinese burned to death. A
number of others were badly burned
and it is reported that several others
are missing.

George P. Ashton. Miss Carrie Mize and
the Arion quintette, and in addition to
the club selections several of the Mo-
docs sang solos.
The visitors were especially enthusi-

selections and the coon" songs by Miss
Carrie Mize, and kept them both sing
ing as long as either would respond.
There was one thing about it that
many of the legislators were not used
to, and that was the waxed floor. On
the carpeted floors of the legislative
halls they are accustomed to showing
their chairs around in any kind of
shape, but this would not work with
little folding chairs on a waxed floor.
There was a great tendency among the
chairs to slide out from under the I'M
wary legislator if he happened to lean
forward in his enthusiasm over the
music, and the slide would usually be
followed by a collapse. AS Eugene Ware
would say, the chairs were of a kind
that
Folded up as folds the primrose, when
the gates of day are shut;
Folded up as folds the jack knife, when
a piece of plug is cut"
The victim, all unconscious of the i'm
pending catastrophe, would lean for
ward in his chair, there would be a
slip, a slide, a wild grasping in the air
for the unattainaDle, and then a duh
thud, followed by the hooking hilarity
of the spectators. 1t was a diShearten-
ing experience to those who went
through, and they will probably always
carry a distrust of waXed floors.

CHIGAGO'S BOOZE MAN
Dies in the Hospital, and His Body is
Cremated.

Chicago, Feb. George Rodgers. who
was known in the vicinity in which he
lived as 1.-The boyle man." died today
in the county hospital of a rare disease
which the physicians have called swell
ing of the bones. His hands and feet
were greatly swollen and his jaw was
four times the normal length. The dis
tance from the frontal bone to the chin
in the ordinary man is eight to ten
inches, and in Rodgers this had grown
to twenty inches.
Although a refined and educated man,
he was so sensitive over his appear
ance that he withdrew from his friends
and family and lived in a barn in an OBJ
from the barn to the hospital in a
starving condition, and after his death
his brother-in-law, at Rodgers request,
caused his body to be cremated, in order
that the doctors might not hold post
mOrten examination.
