Former Beautiful Countess Dies in a
New York HoveI.

NEW YORK. Jan. 11.-Mme Adele
Prebeau, aged 70, died here during
the night in miserable hovel in the
outskirts of the city.
The woman was born in Paris. of
noble parents, and was one of the
most beautiful women in the world
in the early fifties. She married
the Count De Bucea, who few years
later was killed in duel, the result
of quarrel at gambling table.
She then married Henri Prebeau
and came to this country, he being
attached to the French embassy. In
Washington society they were very
prominent. moving in the very best
of circles. Upon the death OF her
husband, Madame Prebeau went to
New York. possessing considerable
fortune. Through speculation it fin
ally dwindled away and the old lady
was committed to the poor house.
Lately an old negro servant took her
from that institution and together
they lived in abject poverty until last
night when death ended all.

POOR MANS PARADISE.
Nation of AgricuIturalists, Where
Living is Cheap and There is
Work for All.

BELGRADE, Servia, Nov 21.-By
William e. Curtis in the Chicago
Record -Herald.-The train rolled into
night, when we had an opportunity
to observe how things are managed
in this hot-bed of revolutions, for in
Servia there is more politics than in
Kansas or Nebraska, and the ms are
always afraid the outs are going to
raise rumpus. AS consequence
the country is often compared to Il
volcano, and just now, for reasons
will give you later on. occasional
rumbling indicate an approaching
eruption. Hence the government of
ticials are very cautions about admit
ting strangers and political eXiles in
to the capital.
An hour or so before we entered
the Servian boundaries an officer in
dizzy uniform of scarlet and gold
braid collected our passports, and ask
ed a lot of questions concerning our
residences, birthplaces. religion, pro
fessions and stations in life" which
we answered with accuracy and pa
tience. Then, shortly before we ar
rived at Belgrade, he handed us our
passports with the most polite com
pliments. Alighting from the car,
we followed the crowd into a sort OF
chute upon the station platform, at
the end of which two more officers
stood. and again demanded our pass
ports and railway tickets. Having
complied, We passed on into a big
room with benches running up and
down the center where our luggage,
with that of other arrivals, was ar
ranged.
The customs office did not show us
much attention; their inspection Of
our luggage was over in a minute;
but they overhauled that of the ma
tive passengers as if they meant
to find something. l suppose they
were LOGGING for arms, ammunition,
incriminating documents or something
of that sort. or perhaps only for
liquors and tobacco, which are govern
ment monopolies; but the examina-
tions were very thorough, and both
men and women had to tumble the
contents of their bags and boxes out
upon the bench in a most exasperat
ing manner. One man, who had rid
den with us all the way from Buda
pest, evidently had been indulgins
in little extravaganza, and had half
dozen new collars and cuffs. These
attracted the attention of the inspec-
tor who counted them three or four
times, and then took them, and col
lected few coppers in duty But
wasn't the owner mad? He ragged
with fury. He slammed the duty
down upon the bench and let go
about a bushel of Servian cuss words
at the inspector who took it as coolly
as possible, and went on examining
the luggage of other people. The in
dignant man then began to collect
his scattered effects; but, between
every three handfuls he would explode
again. don't know who he was, but
If he ever catches that customs in
spector in a dark alley there will be
a homicide reported in the Servian
newspapers
Our luggage was loaded upon the
box Of night liner drawn by pair
of diminutive animals. which had
more spirit than flesh. and whirled
around the corner of the station to
brilliantly lighted office. which the
driver told us was the police head
quarters. where our passports could
