Burglars entered the home OF p. G.

$50 in money and a gold watch valued
at $500.
Entrance was gained by cutting the

The burglars seemed to know their
business as they lost no time IN
searching out Mr.. Gregory's tin box
in which he kept his valuable papers.
This box was securely locked and from
its appearance the burglars must have
worked some time to force the lock.
Failing in this they took knife and
partially cut the bottom away.
Besides the watch and money there
was $4,000 worth OF county warrants
and other valuable papers In the box

II the soil is poor 1t should be enriched
by liberal supply OF well-rotted manure,

bushels per acre. Equally good results are
usually obtained by the use of red top In

or red top and blue grass and little white
clover. When moisture Is plentiful the blue
grass forms a softer turf than the red top,
but does not seem to endure drought as
well. In shidy places the blue grass mix

would see him go through every one of the

This CHASTITY spectacle was first exhibited in

hung himself from the ceiling after ringing

was horrified by the sight and rushed down
to inform the proprietor Before they re-
turned to the room the man who was SUP

up his vaffse and met them quietly on the
stairs. Although it might have been ex-
pected that some day he would hang him
self In real earnest, such a calamity never
befell him. He died of a most commonpl
illness, the grippe, at his home near Toulon,
where he had retired after earning a con-
siderable fortune on the stage. He never
divulged the secret OF how he produced the
extraordinary rigidfty of the muscles of

form an autopsy upon his body with the
idea Of finding out the secret IL possible,

The most popular Of salad vegetables is
lettuce. 1t is grown all the year around,
outside In summer and In hotbeds or a
greenhouse in winter. 1t thrives best In
loose. warm soil, In cool atmosphere.
American seedsmen divide 1t into two
classes-cabbage or heading varieties, and
ioOse-leaved varieties. The former is con-
sidered best for table use.
For early outdoor culture the seed should
be sown in February or March in boxes or
pans In a greenhouse, glass-covered frame
or the kitchen. When the plants are estab-
lished they can be transplanted to small
pots or boxes filed with rich fibrous
loan. and hardened by exposing them in a

STRANGE CHARACTER DEAD.
Passing of Partisan Of Curious Physi

Special Cablegram to The Star.
PARIS, March 23-One of the most origi-
nal music-hall characters. known as La
Pendu," or the man who used to hang
himself has just died at Sollies Pont, near
Toulon. His real name is Simeon Aiguier.
and he was born at Sollies Vile in 1851.
Unlike Fregoli. who Initiates various per-
sonages by sudden changes of clothes, he
could in way transform his body, and
possessed perhaps the most curious physi-
cal adaptabilities ever known. When a
young man he surprised and puzzled the
army doctors. AS he presented himself for
physical examination he appeared a thin
spare-ribbed fellow almost a skeleton, and
before the examination was over he stood

enormously inflated abdomen, as il he had

While the physician was examining this
abnormal development the abdomen sud
denly retreated and a big bloated tumor
suddenly grew on the young mans throat.
as If he had an immense goitre.> He had
apparently transferred the swelling from
the lower part of his body to his throat.
When the examination was over. he stood
there skeleton-like young fellow as be-
fore. His gifts in bodily transformation
soon became known all over his native dis
trict and ne was soon induced to show him
self on the music-hall stage. For a long
time he was known as the skeleton man,
though he also exhibited himself as the fat
man. His physical transformations diu not
stop here. He was able to initiate the pro-
cess of dying and of death to perfection.
Scientists and the members of various
medical faculties often wished to examine
his strange methods. but he constantly re-
fused to divulge the secret of his trans
formations. When he initiated the state Of
dead person he threw himself Into per-
feet coma. His heart apparently ceased to
beat. and the most expert physicians are
said to have been unable to detect the
slightest movement of his pulse.
They went so far as to apply various In
struments to detect life without success,
and even though the stethoscope was
brought into play not the slightest action
Of the heart could be perceived The most
expert doctors would have declared him
dead, and yet in the next instant he would
jump up and crack jokes and be as much
alive as anyone.
His last trick, and the one which kept
audiences speiib0und. was when he used to
hang himself by the neck with cord.

PARIS. March 23.-On several occasions

tsterial and civil service posts and Great
ing costly but unnecessary missions in the
colonies for Others and of hushing up a
judicial scandal by promoting a nominee

proceedings against the newspaper for
libel and the summonses were issued from
NJ Chaumie's parliamentary constituency

The Matin, however preferring that the
case should be tried in Paris, adopted the
clever. if audaclous. move of serving sub
poenas upon all the magistrates composing
the Ogen court. as well as upon the jury
men serving in the court. AS neither
magistrates nor jury could act In a case

that it was incompetent to try it. The
validity of the subpoenas will, however, be

This course was inevitable. and Is eminently
satisfactory to all but one or two who have
always desired to regard Senior Moret
merely as their equal In authority.
Without the fullest powers of supreme
command 1t would be impossible for a new
liberal leader to keep order. especially at
the present moment, when SO many of
those who have tasted the sweets of office
are anxious to assert themselves. With
the exception Of the followers of Senior
Canalejas the country believes in Senior
