THE TALK OF THE DAY.

A dispute has arisen the estate OF 100000
left by an American In Paris He was known as
M. Rubens. The American Consul placed his seals
on the apartments Of the deceased. AS soon as
this done, some forty heirs to NJ Ruhenss
wealth presented themselves These persons de-
clare that the deceased Frenchman, born at
Mulhaus, IN Alsace seventy years ago. and that
his real was Charles VOog. According to
this story he left Alsace in 1865 and went to the
United States, where he became naturalized under
the false name of Rubens He seems to have been
possessed OF the mania OF cosmopOlitanism, for he
called himself alternately French German ana
American. Having made his fortune. he returned
and settled in Paris and had for some years cut
a considerable figure In society and club life. II
the forty heirs prove that NJ. Rubens's (alias
VOog) naturalization American was fraudu-
lent. because he bearing false name, they,
OF course, have right to a part OF the estate.
Meanwhile the government has taken charge Of
the estate and a complicated International lawsuit
is likely to result.
