the foot passenger in Paris because OF the
want Of order. The Partisan police. or
gardens de la paix, are not nearly so
much in evidence as our London ''men in
blue" The coachmen in Paris seem to
drive where they please, and If a police
man held up a restraining hand 1t Is
questionable whether the driver of pub
lie vehicle would pay much attention to
his warning. They do sometimes rather
timidly hold up batons; it is therefore
necessary to be very careful in the crowd
ed places in crossing the streets; the lit

lucky fashion that the wonder is there are
not more frequent accidents Ii must be

The modern fashionable quarter for
dwelling houses lies in the Chaussee a An
tin, and west OF the Madeleine, near the
Elysee and the Champs Elysees, the dis
trict of the Faubourg st. Honore; the old
aristocracy chiefly inhabit the Faubourg
St German, south of the Seine, opposite
the Tuileries and its gardens; the famous
Quarter Latin, the resort Of students and
art workers lies east of the Faubourg
St German; this is the learned corner of
Paris: here are the universities, most OF
the colleges, schools and scientific institu-
lions and for centuries this has been re-
garded as the students quarter; behind
the Church of the Sorbonne is the Lycee
Louis-le-Grand, founded in 1850 by Francis
the First and rebuilt by the Jesuits in 1850.
Close by, on the Place du Pantheon is the
Lycee Henri Quatre, with its ancient
though restored tower: this formed part
of the old abbey of Ste. Genevieve; the
ancient refectory IL now being used as the
chapel of the Lycee.
The Faubourg st. Antoine, north Of the
river and to the east of the Place de ia
Bastille, is the artisan quarter, where the
chief part of the working people dwell;
here are found cahinetmakers, wood carv-
ers, carpenters all the useful trades. And

Now II happened that the woman who

the mother longed to join the jewellers
and to make merry with the
crowd. for the days of her iso-
lation and publication had long since
passed. SO she turned the infant over TO
the care of an old. blind woman the Frog,
who was a nurse; for she knew that the
Frog, being blind and old, would not care
for the revels-and beside, not even the
mother idoliZed the child as did it's nurse
And that is why IL happened that when
the two women of the north had
come to the land of the cedar

scanned and wrinkled and the current OF
life long since dried up within her breasts,
her heart was young again with the
awakened mother-loye and filled to over
flowing with sof.ness as she rejoiced in
the child with "a great JOY. Was he not
her own little chieftain. and would he not
fight the enemies of his people overcome
them, cast terror in their hearts and at
last become great chief in his own land?
Now, to her came these two women OF
the north as she dreamed her day-dreams
and crooned her lullaby. AS they came
they cried out 70 her:

been born to your people? Let Us see
this wonderful child. whose mother is a
woman and whose father Is a star! Let
us but once hold him within our arms
and we will be happy ana blest for ever

what wonder then that the old crone
proudly handed forth the babe that the
strangers might see how beautiful he was
and how ut to be chief among the chill
dren OF men! But, ALAS the Frog was

TWO WOMEN KILLED.
William Mott Former Raleighite, Murdered
His Paramour and Landlady.

On last Tuesday the telegraphic IS
patches told of horrible double murder
in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, in which two
women were killed by man. The muir
derer is William Martin Mott former
resident of Raleigh, and the two victims
are Madame Alberta, palmist, ard Mrs.
Elizabeth Steinhauer, the woman with
whom she boarded. Mrs. Steinhauer was
badly wounded and fingered some time
before death, but Mile. Alberta died al
most instantly. Mott surrendered and ad-
mitted the murder. regretting that he
had shot Mrs. Steinhauer who he said
he liked, and said that he had become
tired of Mile Alberta's fckleness and
could stand it no longer. He will be
tried for his deed at the next term of
court.
Mott is a native of Raleigh and is %
years old. His father kept meat stall
here once. Since leaving Raleigh, Mott
has lived chiefly in Norfolk, where he
has several children. His wife is dead.
For a number of years, it is said he has
attended fairs, horse-races and similar
gatherings as a fakir Last year in Will
mington, Delaware, he met Mile. Alberta
and they have since gone together. He
says her name is. Anna Furlong, and that
she has husband and children in Bay
onne, n. j. The only excuse he gives
for the crime is that she constantly tor
mented him with her fickleness. The kill
ing of the landlady was accidental. Mile.
Alberta was 80 years old.

FROM THE DEAD SOLDIER.
Mr.. w. Il. Hicks Receives Letter From His
Son, Who Was Killed in China

"A letter has been received by Mr..
j. W. Hicks, of this city, from his son,
Wyatt Hicks, who was killed in the
battle at Yang Tsung, China, on the
9th day of last August. The letter was
written three days before his death
and was found on his dead body by a
comrade and sent to it's address. Mr..
Wyatt also received a number of news
papers from his son while the latter
was at Manila.
The letter received by Mr.. Wyatt
was as follows:
Tien Tsin. China, August 3.
Dear Father: We arrived here the
Goth day Of July. This is a very nice
country, very near the same as in the
States. Rumor is that we will start
to advance to the north this evening.
We can see dead Chinese lying dead in
the ruins of the city. We also saw
them by the score as we were coming
down the river.
''Some of the boys have found dia-
monds and gold. Silver is plentiful
here. We cannot spend our money
unless we give it away. The Ameri-
cans lost about 1870; Japan about 500.
whenever we want anything done,
we hustle up some Chinese and work
them till night. The Russians do the
same. They work them till evening
and then cut their heads off. They
have done so.
II had quite number of relics, but

quite a number of boxes were broken
