 It is probable that the defense set up will be that of insanity, and that, with the influence of which his broth CT. the general, and other powerful rel atives, are able to dispose he will be committed to some lunatic asylum, only to be let loose on the community once more few years hence.
 His story, briefly told, is as follows:
 About fifteen years ago, while sta toned as an infantry lieutenant at Nancy, he fell in love wb,h a very beau tiful girl, daughter of an old and wealthy family in the neighbornood Of the name of Pineau de Viennay. A marriage took place, the wife bringing an income of $12,OO0 a year, while the husband had a couple of chateauX, one in the Eure and one in the Vendee, and q private income of about $2, 900 a year. the chateauX being heavily mOrtgaged. He left the army soon after his mar riaSe, and this seems to have proved his bane, for he commenced, not Cnly to squander his wife's fortune, but also to drink heavily and to associate with all sorts of questionable characters. Ultimately his behavior, and particu- larly his brutality to his wife, became so intolerable that she was forced to leave him, and, appealing to the courts, obtained judicial separation, the chill dren being comitted to her custody.
 The transition from aff1uence to rela- tive poverty, namely, to $500 per an mum, constituting the remnant of his former small fortune, seems to have still further unbalanced the mans brain. He became imbued with a species of insane idea that his wife was in love with the old lawyer, LerouX, seventy-seven years of age, who had been placed by the courts in charge Of her financial affairs in order to protect them from her husband, and after fol- lowing her about for three days, he ultimately shot her as she was leaving the office of old Maitre LerOuX, every one of the three bullets taking fatal effect, the first one penetrating the un- fortunate woman's eye.
 He submitted quietly to arrest, de- claring that he did not regrel, having avenged his honor. Everyone acquain- ted with the murdered countess is unanimous in bearing tribute to her blamelessness, and to her patience un- der the most cruel treatment and suf- ferings, while there appears to be but

NEWS AND GOSSIP
 0F OTHER LANDS

It is the Orient liner Ophir, superb vessel of 1000 tons and of 10000 horse power, that has been chartered by the British government to convey the Duke and Duchess of York to Australia. The great ship is already renowned as the most gorgeous passenger vessel aflCat. But she is now to be taken in hand. and to be rendered still more luxurious in order to fit her for the mission for which she has been chartered.
 No one will be astonished if the Ophir is eventually acquired by the admiral ty to take permanently the place of the new royal yacht, for aside from the structural defects of this costly failure, the new royal yacht has the reputation of being unlucky, and this is absolutely fatal to the purposes for which she was destined, royal personages being, like sea-faring folks, terribly superistitious.
 It is difficult to trace to their origin the reputation of being unlucky that attaches itself to some ships. Some times it is due to a catastrophe which occurred during the construction. This was the case with the battleship Thun- derer, famed as the most unlucky craft in the navy. One of the WOrkmen was killed In a particularly shocking fash ion during her building, and the mans widow. who had been most scurvily treated by the naval authorities, dying not long afterward in childbirth, leaving starving family of little ones, cursed the ship with her last gasp. Be this true or not, the fact remains that the Thunderer has lived up to Us reputation, and that a fearful boiler explosion, a terrible gun disaster, and a collision, are only a few of the long series of mishaps to which she has been subjected. Indeed, so evil is her repu- tatiOn that the admiralty canOt find of ticers or men willing to go to sea in her, and that it has been compelled therefore to choose between the alter native of putting her altogether out of commission or using her as a mere har- bor guard ship. Other unlucky ships are the Howe and the Sultan, both of which have been sunk and refloated, while another was the Victoria, which went down with 600 men on board a few years ago off the coast of Syria.
 There is a wild story floating about to the effect that some workman was ac- cidentally fastened down in between

the double sheathing of the hull of the n,w royal yacht while 1t was being built, and that he haunts the vessel. Whatever the cause, however, the fact remains that she is classed among the unlucky ships, that the royal family absolutely declined to use her, the Prince of Wales openly expressing the hope that he may never be doomed to travel in her. and that the utmost diff ficulty will be experienced in finding a crew willing to venture out to sea on board of her. The general consensus of opinion in England seems to be that she ought to be assigned to the lords of the admiralty as their official yacht, since it is they who are virtually re- sponsible for this extraordinary waste of no less than $5,OOO,O 900 already.
 The Sultan is most unfortunate in his diplomatic representative abroad. What between the suicide of some and the scandal created by others in strik- ing work on account of the non-pay- ment of their salaries and allowances, he has been subjected to a good deal of annoyance. And now comes the news that his entire legation at Athens has been placed hors de combat, owing to the envoy, Rifaat Bey, his secretaries and attaches having all been bitten by mad dog. The entire staff of the mis- sion have left in hot haste for Paris, where they are undergoing treat ment at the Pasteur institute, the Porte being left in the meantime un- represented at Athens, save by an un- paid consul general who is a Greek subject.
 Count Charles de Cornulier-Luci- niere, whose murder of his wife has created so great a sensation in Paris ian society, is a first cousin of the late Colonel and Comte de Villiboise Mare uil, who lost his life while serving in the Boer army as chief of staff during the recent war in South Africa. Whereas, however, De Villebois was a man of intellectual refinement and dis tinction, Count Cornulier, in spite of his long line of ancestry, was a coarse grained, cOarse-manered man, who alike in taste and appearance differed strongly from his cousin, being short, powerful man, with a heavy brown mustache, whose homeliness was increased by a squint. He had, indeed, but one trait in common with De Vil- lebois, namely, certain amount of re- ligious mysticism, verging on mania, and when arrested and searched there were found, along with a big army re- volver and a large-pointed knife, re- gently sharpened, rosary and large
