JOKE Roes WIFE OF REASON.
Sad Sequel to Silly Trick Perpetratet
by Edmond Lelouse.


by Edmond Lelouse.
A sad sequel was the result of a
silly joke perpetrated recently in
Paris. M. Edmond Lelouse, wishing
to frighten his wife, dressed up a wax
figure the head of which and one Of
the hands he lightly attached to the
body by means of gum, and placed it
in bed.
While Lelouse was watching the
proceedings from behind some dra-
peries his wife. about to retire, grasp
ed what she supposed, in the semi.
darkness. to be her husbands hand.
but which was in reality that of the
wax figure. The hand, cold and clam
my, detached itself from the limb and
remained in her grasp. -
With cry Of horror Madame La.
louise let the hand drop to the ground
and flung her arms around the figures
neck. when the head also became de-
tached and rolled down upon the floor.
The terror stricken woman, uttering
piercing shrieks, ran madly down the
stairs. where she was stopped by some
neighbors and detained.
When TIE police arrived it was
found that she had become raving
mad. Later she was conveyed to the
asylum.
When the husband was apprised
yesterday morning Of the hopelessness
Of his wife's condition, he poisoned
himself by swallowing dose Of nitric
acid.

Past Week Of the War.

War interest the past week centered
on naval movements. A clash OF the
rival fleets was expected daily. and re-
ports, which afterward proved prema-
ture, stated that a sea battle had act
ually taken place. European experts
believe that Admiral Rojestvensky is
anxious for a decisive engagement
They are also of the opinion that the
Japanese will try to avoid q general
fight at sea. preferring to carry on
harassing attacks with their torpedo
boats.
Operations in Manchurla were limit
ed to outpost engagements of q minor
character. and movements Of soldiers
from both armies for strategic pur-
poses, reinforcements over the trans
siberian railroad and their generals
are struggling with the severe task
of rehabilitating the great army which
was all but crushed at Mukden.
At st. Petersburg the war party ap-
pears to be again In full control. and
peace talk has dropped to a whisper.

PAUL JONES' REMAINS.
Porter Found Them In
Paris,


Paris.
Paris.-The remarkable search that
Ambassador Porter has conducted for
the body of Paul Jones has been
crowned with success by the discov-
cry Of the body and its Identification
by the highest French medical ex.
perts as unquestionably that Of the
famous American admiral who found.
ed the American navy.
The state department at Washing.
ton has made public the cablegram re-
ceived from Ambassador Porter at
Paris, in which he announced that the
body of John Paul Jones had been
found. The cablegram described the
finding Of the casket and the identifi.
cation of the body. The cablegram
fully bears out the Paris dispatches
of the Associated Press.
Upon receipt of Mr.. Porter's dis
patch. Acting Secretary Loomis cabled
an acknowledgment and took occasion
to congratulate Mr.. Porter on the
success of what appeared to be a
dubious task. It is learned here that
the ambassador has already expended
$500 Of his money in this long quest.
1t is fully expected that congress will
reimburse him. Mr.. Loomis stated
that there was no doubt that the re-
mains will be conveyed to America on
a warship, but 1t could not yet be told
whether this would be French or
American man of war.
Proof Seems Positive.
DR.. Papillault, the anthropologist.
in an interview at Paris explains the
methods pursued to identify the body,
found in the old st. Louis cemetery
after long search made by Ambas-
sador Porter. He says an examina-
tion was made Of the teeth, hair, nose
and ears and they all correspond with
remarkable precision to the known
measurements and characteristics of
the admiral's organs. The formation
of the frontal bone, the slope of the
nasal bone, the cartilages and ears
likewise correspond precisely with the
measurements of Moudins bust made
from the life masks. The measure
ments of the height and diameter of
the skull correspond within thou
sandth part Of a meter, thus estab-
fishing a remarkably exact correspon-
dence.
The doctor said his report makes
the usual reservation covering possi-
BILE doubts, although he believes he
has assembled SO many proofs as to
make the Identification incontestible.
Ambassador Porter is receiving con-
gratulations on the success of his long
search for the body, which has been
transferred to a new casket bearing
an inscribed date and having a glass
over the race. permitting it's inspec-
ton. The extensive work of excava-
tion at the cemetery has been sus-
pended and workmen are now filling
the lengthy tunnels.

Over Bond Treaty.

BOSTON. Mass, Nov. AT odds
with Senator Henry Cabot Lodge over
the context Of a letter the Senator is
said 10 have written to the late Secre-
tary John Hay regarding the Hay
Bond treaty. Osborne HOwes, the Japan
ese consul in Boston, who was a per
sonal friend of Hay. has addressed an
open letter to Lodge, In which he quotes
Hays opinion OF Lodge.
Mr Howes in speaking a. = Demo
cratic rally last week, cited his personal
knowledge of the letter to disprove the
popular belief that Senator Lodge favor
ed the Hay-Bond treaty. Senator Lodge
retorted by saying that Howes mis-
represented the context of the letter
and charged that Howes was taking ad-
vantage OF Hays death, which prevents
proof OF the issue.
In response. Howes has issued an open
letter. in which he says:
Howe's Second Shot.
Here is letter which YOU admit
that you wrote and that I said that
you wrote. and yet you wish the people
of Massachusetts TO believe that If Sec
rct3ry Hay showed me any letter from
you il must have been the letter that
you read.
But why? To prove what? That
you were opposed 10 the Hay-Bond
treaty? 1 had supported that and Sec

Aid in Learning Work of
Institution.

The antagonistic feeling that was ex-
pressed by the employees at the Govern
ment Printing Of1ce yesterday when
the new Public Printer became known
has died out to a considerable extent
The visit OF Charles A. Sullings, the
new incumbent of the Office, may have
had some effect upon the grumbling en-
ployes. Mr.. Stillings conferred with Os-
car J. Ricketts,, the Acting Public Prin-
ter. late in the day. He asked Mr.
Ricketts, to remain at the big printery
and said he would depend upon Mr.
Ricketts, cooperation in getting the best
service out of the establishment.
Will Help.
While Mr. Ricketts, did not promise the
Public Printer that he would remain for
any definite period under the new ad-
rninistra tion he assured Mr. StiIlings
of his loyal cooperation in learning the
work of the big pTinteTy.
Throughout the shop, but one express
sion of apprehension is voiced today
They do not know Just where the in
coming chief stands on the matter of
open shops" The Government Print
ing Office has all along been considered
a union shop and the present workmen
desire that this status be retained.
Open or Closed Shop.
The printers in general would have
been much more pleased had Mr.. Rick
etts got the appointment In his six
teen years Of service at the printeTy he
has always expressed himself as a
friend of union labor and under his
short administration as Acting Public
Painter he has made several changes
pleasing to the force IN general. If Mr..
Ricketts, remains as foreman of print
ing he will smooth over conditions a
good deal.
Mr. Ricketts, has received many let
ters of sympathy from all over the
country since the decision of the Presi-
dent was made known. The most highly
priced letter he has received is one from
John King. former commander-in-chief
of the Grand Army of the Republic. Mr..
