In some respects the murder Of which
Blondin stands accused resembles the
Guldensuppe case in this city. 1t was
Il trunk mystery until the finding of
the body of the woman cleared it up.
BlOndin is a Canadian and has a wife
and children in Montreal. He spent Il
great tieal of time in Boston and sur
rounding manufacturing towns work
ing as an engineer or fireman. While
working in Boston year ago he met
Mary Reilly. and they were married
on Feb. Is, 1901 in Roman Catholic
church in thnt city.
Blondin and his wife lived in hotel
in Greene street, Boston. The woman
often complained that she feared her
husband would kill her. On the after
noon of April ~ they had row in
their apartments, and Blondin killed
the woman.
He left the house, returning two days
later, when he cut the body up and
packed it in Il trunk. This trunk he
had removed at night by an express
man. He told the landlady of the no
tel that he was going to Montreal and
that his wife was waiting for him at
the depot.
In some manner unknown NJ present
Blondin got the trunk to Chelmsford
Mass. where he dumped its CHASTITY
contents into Il stream in Il lonely for
est. The body. with the head severed,
lay there until early in June, when it
was discovered by woodchoppers. Two
days later the head was found near by,
and in Il short time the woman WIS
identified.

A slight rise in the Mississippi up in

other end, spearing the good pieces Of

who could hit log in the center the

meant a supply of fuel. Many OF the

and the river furnishes it sometimes
and sometimes it does not.

tary authorities. The American train
er began with a horse called ldole, be-
longing to Lieut.. Labruyere of the
Ecole de Guerre. This animal, very
fine horse, was useless to its owner, as
it refused to be either saddled or har-
messed. AS soon as Mr.. Smith had ap-
piled his methods to 1t it became like
a lamb, was saddled and bridled, har-
messed to a carriage driven through
clouds of steam, made to face shrek
ing sirens. and allowed flags and open
umbrellas to be tapped in its face. AZ
the end of the quarter of an hour Mr..
Smith flung the reins on its back and
stood up in the carriage. while tie
horse stood quietly facing rushing
clouds of steam.
An experiment with a pretty little
half-Arab mare belonging to Cap. Pen
elon. aide-de-camp of Gen. Brugere,
was equally successful She refused to
face steam, smoke, railway trains or
tramways, and had twice nearly killed
her rider by rearing right back on
him. At the end of twenty minutes
she faced every possible nerve-trying
instrument in Mr. Smiths parapher-
MALTA, and was finally harnessed for
the first time in her life to carriage
and driven in double harness with the
preceding horse, finally drawing up in
the midst OF a Vesuylus of blazing and
cracking fireworks. Its owner declared
the result to be something approaching
! the miraculous.

The DIaz Doctrine.

The London Chronicle gleefully d.
rects attention to the fact that az q
recent session of the panAmerican
conference in the City OF Mexico a
Mexican delegate proposed the "Diaa
doctrine" as pendant to the Monroe
doctrine.
The latter, as is we'll known, prohib-
its European nations from making ter
ritorial acquisitions in South America
The "Dlaz doctrine" goes many steps
farther and prohibits any state OF the
American hemisphere from acquiring
any territory at the expense Of any
other American state.
The "Diaz doctrine" is sound In prin'
ciple and would be fitting pendant to
the doctrine Of our own Monroe
Whether 1t will commend Itself to ouI
statesmen is very different natter

Wild Horses
Quickly Tanned

Morton B. Smith, an American horse
trainer, has been astonishing the ma
tives in Paris by his wonderful meth
DDS of subduing wild, unbroken and re-
fractory horses. Twenty minutes is
considered time enough to break in the
most unruly animal for riding or drlv
ing.
The method employed is exceedingly
simple, though none the less vigorous,
The horse to be broken is lassoed,
thrown and held down while being
bridied. To a stout girth strapped
around the horses body are fastened
several cannon balls weighing about
six pounds each, few sleigh bells and
other noise producers, Mr.. Smith
takes tight hold of the end of a pair
of long reins attachetf~'to the bride,
gives signal to his assistants, who
release the animal, and braces himself
for the shock that follows.
Every wild plunge of the horse is
followed by a dozen thumps from the
swinging cannon balls on the back or
ribs No animal handled by Mr.. Smith
has fought for more than five or ten
minutes against this treatment. Tired
out and subdued they have submitted
quietly while being harnessed and
driven around the arena.
/ Six hundred French officers of al
ranks assembled a few days ago tc
watch MIR. Smith attempt to tame g

horses provided by the French mill
