Paris, Sept. 24.-The French Academy
received the dying statement of Baron
klinckowstrom to the effect that the lat
ter destroyed the correspondence between
his ancestor, Count Fersen, and Mary An
toinette, permitting only a few innocent
specimens Of their handwriting to sur
vive the o-dafe. '
Count Fersen, Swedish ambassador in
Paris during the decade preceding the
first French revolution, was stanch
friend Of the unhappy queen. That he was
also her lover and the father Of one or
more of the children passing as offspring
of Louis XVI. numerous memoirs assert.
However, historians have always main

| of the fact except in the correspondence
between Fersen and Marie Antolnette.
which correspondence the Fersen family
held sacred. Thirty years ago, Baron
! Klinckowstrom, now dead, inherited the
historical letters and promised to publish
them If 1t was possible to do so without
disgrace to the queen" He actually did
publish a book, Count Fersen and the
Court Of France, but same contained lit

please the scandal mongers. AS according
to his statement to the academy, he de.

Z Vienna. Sept. PA dispatch from Bal

year-old Julia and 14-year-old Helen, who
were exceptionally beautiful girls; only
the father appears to have had no knowl-
edge whatever Of the sad state Of affairs.
| While visiting with friends in town the
other day he received note signed Julia
and Helen, which read as follows: "Come
home, dear father, for we don't wish any
body else to touch our bodies" The
| frantic parent rushed to the house only to
| find his children's room locked. He burst
| open the door. Both girls were lying on
! the floor, weltering in their blood. The
| sisters had shot each other thru the heart,
placing the muzzles Of the revolvers
against the flesh. Julia and Helen were
celebrated FAR and wide for their beauty
and the report Of what had happened pre-
! cipitated a riot, in the course of which
the step-mother was dragged thru the
streets and stoned.

Anecdotes Showing Pope Plus
as an Ardent Reformer.

Rome, Sept 24.--When the pope re-
Gently ordered that a hundred thousand
francs be distributed among the poor of
Rome Cardinal Mocenni, in a conference
with the holy father, ventured to submit
that such "extravagance'' would lead to
the unsettlement of the vatican finances.
"Why?" asked Plus. gently. Does your
eminence despair Of Gods love for us?
I have the utmost faith in God and trust
that he will permit me to administer
the affairs of the church both with wis
dom and charity"
But the administrator Of >papal finances
would not give in, and continued to plead
with the holy father to reduce the sum.
The pope listened smilingly for a while.
Then, still continuing In the best Of hu
NOR, he stopped further argument by say
ing: Have a care, Mr.. Treasurer, or
will raise the figure to 1870, 900 francs"
IT will make haste to carry out your
holiness orders for the 100000 francs
replied the cardinal preparing to take
his leave.

the latter bowed to- kiss his ring. And,
by the way, please take notice that every
treasury order, approved by the secre-
tary of state, must be held at the benef-
ciary's disposal within twenty four hours.
We are poor enough, 1t is true, but
will not have 1t said Of the vatican that
bills due go begging. When we must
pay, let's do it promptly and with good
grace"
Plus Invests In italian State Bonds
The pope has given orders that the
money found In Leo Wills safe be In
vested in italian bonds. because they are
Immediately negotiable and pay g. pei

Berlin, Sept. 24--The monument at
Leipzig on the grave of DR.. Hagemann,
the famous lawyer, bears a big reproduce
ton Of a 20-mark piece with the head Of
Emperor William, surrounded by chain
Of crystal spheres, representing diamonds.
The kaiser used to be very fond of DR..
Hagemann and frequently desired his
friends to invite him to hunting parties
which he himself attended. On one of
these occasions he played "skat" with
Hagemann and mulcted him out of 20
marks.
Hagemann. who hated card playing any
how, got very much excited at his loss and
rising from the table said: when !
came here to hunt rabbits I never ex-

It has now leaked out that the Jews
of Odessa were forbidden to live In any
of the summer resorts in the province
during the past season. The governor
forbade hotel and clearinghouse keepers
to lodge them, and even rich Jewish
families were compelled to spend the
heated season in the city, subject to III
ness and discomfort. These high handed
proceedings leaked out because the sum
mer resort keepers petitioned the govern
ment not to make this a standing order,
as the loss OF the Jew trade caused many

There Is No Absolute Serum Isl
Against Snake Poison.

Professor Calmete's alleged serum
against snake poison has turned out to be
of less value than anticipated. Practical
experience in the French colonies proves
that person inoculated with serum pre-
pared from rattler, for instance, is COM
paratively immune when bitten by rattle
snake, but the serum has no effect IN
case the inoculated individual is bitten by
any other kind of poisonous snake. AS
most tropical countries are overrun by
g. great variety of poisonous snakes, it
would be necessary to inoculate a person
with serum from all the poisonous snakes
in his district and-that would kill him!
The incubation theory has therefore been
abandoned.

Kaiser Paid for Catholic
: Priests Education

At the Catholic st. Hedwig church Rev.
Joseph Heyn, son Of poor Berlin work
man, celebrated his first mass at the age
of 26. He was educated for the priesthood
at the expense of Emperor William. When
William first made the acquaintance Of
Father Joseph the latter was a boy work
ing as a gardener on the royal estate,
but was morose and unhappy because his
ambition to become a Catholic priest could
not be fulfilled, as his parents were too
poor to pay for his education. William,
learning the facts from the boys own
lips, had him examined by the court chap
lain, and, finding that he was in earnest
and talented, appropriated the necessary
funds for his education. Catholic cour-
tier attended Father Joseph's first mass
as the emperors representative.
