PARIS. Oct. =.

EAIklCs OCl. -.
Extensive thefts of army stores, said
TO be valued at many millions of francs,
have been discovered at the great military
camp Of nalons-sur- Marine.
The thefts are believed to have con-
tinued steadily for a number OF years, In
spite Of careful monthly inspections by
responsible officers.
The thefts were revealed through the
chance discovery at bakers shop at
CharIons-sur-M Marine of a number OF sacks
Of -four bearing the military stamp.
When the baker was arrested he con-
fessed that he purchased the flour from a
man named Oscar Cadit, living near the
barracks Cadit III turn revealed the
names of sergeants who, he averred sup
piled him with the goods. Two of them
are now in the military pri1on, and other
non-cOmmissioned officers are to be ar
rested.
The military authorities found large
quantities of bacon, sugar. rice. beans.
coffee and -four. all bearing the official
stamp, on sale ia other local shops.
The supplies were stored by the mill
tary authorities in disused convent, and
removed at night to Cadits shop.

TROOPS UNDER ARMS
At NIGHT IN EGYPT
Indications That Authorities Are
Prepared for Revolt Should
It Occur.
CAIRO, Oct. o.

The denial given by several correspond
ents TO the statement that go troops are
kept under arms at night in readiness
for instant service is untrue. The men
are still under arms at night
The reason for this precaution IS kept
secret by the military authorities. A men,
her Of the headquarters staff. when ques-
toned. replied that there were some
things which could be said and others
which could not be said. The aIertness NJ
the military authorities ar the present
moment, he added belonged to the latter
category.
So far as is known to Europeans. an
attack by the natives is not threatened.
but at the same time the recent grave
words OF Lord Cromer on the seditious
movement cannot be lightly regarded. It
is satisfactory 20 know, in any event. that
the authorities are prepared instantly to
suppress any rising.

Horrible and Revolving OF
Present Century.
GENEVA. Oct. q.

OE1ANG - UT -
So revolving was the evidence given
yesterday in the trial of a gypsy named

wrath OF the spectators in court.
He was finally sentenced to ten years

OF gypsy parents At Is he arrived IN
Germany and married q girl Is years Of
age who died mysIerIOusly six months
after the ceremony.
Three days after the burial Of his first
wife he married another girl. who met
with a similar fate after giving birth 10
two children.
Attacks His Third Wife.
4 third marriage followed. and within
four months Of his marriage Vadosch
made a murderous attack upon his wife,
for which he Was sentenced TO three
years Imprisonment
It is rot known how many young
women he married" abandoned or got
rid Of between the period Of his release
from prison and his appearance IN
Bohemia last year when he married

He was liberated on May Ii last, and
joined his young wife and children at St.
Gall The girl during her husbands alb
sence had spent the little money be had
left her and all of them were nearly
starving. Nadosch celebrated his arrival
by beating his wife and children every
night. On June - at the little village
of Murg. on the shores of Lake Wallea-
stadt. he sent his son Max to buy a pair
Of scissors, and at 10 O'Clock at night he
pulled his young wife cut of the van by
her hair and ordered Max To take a rope
and lantern and follow him into the
forest.
Ties Her to Tree.
There he tied his wife to a tree with
the rope and fixed her head by tying her
long tresses around the trunk. He COM
pressed her throat until the tongue pro
truded, and trans1yed the tongue to the
chin by piercing il with long needle.
Taking the scissors from his horror
stricken son. he cut off the tongue. the
lips the nose and the ears Of the IN
happy girl
When some days after she recovered
consciousness, Vadosch amused himself
by twisting the girls broken arm and
laughing when she grOaned.
On July Is the mutilated wife managed
20 escape from the van and reach the
police station at St. Gall Her husband
was at once arrested.
The woman, who still cannot speak, sat
in court during the trial. covering her

THE GUEST ROOM.
WAYS BY WHICH IT CAN BE

Little Things Easy to Do and Which
Will Add Much to the Comfort
of the Person Occupying
the Chamber.


For several reasons, the guest

Biddle, in the Chicago Inter Ocean.
For instance, it is generally on the
side OF the house which has the least
sunshine, and ii is not. as a rule. fit.
ted up with the attractive furnishings
which fill the rooms that are more
frequently occupied.
The hostess who wishes to make
her guest feel thoroughly comfortable
may do SO for a very small outlay of
money.
First of all, she must have the
room papered with pale yellow or
pink paper. These colors do not alb
sorb the light and will make the room
almost as cheerful as if the sun
shone into it. She will have dainty
RULED muslin curtains at the window
and second set of curtains and slip
covers Of some attractive lowered
chintz, matching the wall paper in
color. There should be plenty of
chairs, and a couch il possible. An
open fireplace always adds to the
comfort and cheerlulness of a room.
1t is a wise guest who relieves her
hostess of her society for an hour or
two each day, for both need a little
solitude.
Letter writing Is always an excel
lent excuse and, as a rule, an anthem
tic one, so it would be wise plan for
the hostess to provide a writing desk
for the guest: one that is well filled
with all the necessary appointments
for writing
There are also many small things
which may be put into the room that
add greatly to the comfort Of the oc
