Conditions 10 Russia.

st. Petersburg, Nov. s-Stfange IS
it may seem that the Stolypin minis
try should seek to ally itself with
the Russian rsdicsls, it ia just such an
outcome that ssens likely to follow the
opening OF the new Douma.
The ministers will make the first over
lures and the general Impression is that
the radicals will be willing to enter into
the combination-not, If course, out o.
any good will toward Stolypiu or bis
followers, but for their own advantage.
The ministry has been forced to look
10 queer quarters Tor friends to protect
itself against the Asoluisls who Sill GER
tainly demand Stolypin's resignation and
programme of reaction and wholesale
executions under q stronger premier.
The ministers are anxious TO hold thsiI
portfolios even though they may have
to get the revolu,ionists' help to do 1t,
aud the radicals prefer inefficiency under
Stolypin to tho iron-hesded reaction
urged BY the absolutista.

GIRL BROKE ENGAGEMENT.

Justin Percivsl, of Lynchburg, Vs.,
who announced that he mad been selrch-
Jog Ia vain for Mrs. Virginia Peyton
Knight Howe, his fancep, who had
strangely vanished, Is advised by his
ffiends not to seek information concern
ing her from her sister, Mrs. Henry
Walter Wilmot, OF New York.
Mrs. Wilmot, who 10 a beautiful young
woman, was seen In her apartments 10
New York yesterday, and che not only
declared the report Of her sisters disap'
pesrsnce absurd, but added a few re-
marks that should not cause the heir oil
PercivAl Island to blush with pleasure.
She declared there no longer existed an
engagement to marry between Mrs.
Howe and Mr.. Perciyal, who was d.
vorced from his 6rst wife, Merle Louise
Wells Percival. of a well-known Vir
GINA family, at the October term Of
court in Jacksonville, Fla.
"My sister, F" said Mrs. Wilmot, trem-
bling with indignation, "broke her en-.
gagement with Dir. Percivsl for good
and sufficient reasons several weeks ago.
1 have read the report of my sisters
disappearance and knew that it wa:
caused to be published by Mr. Percival
purely to injure Virginia. Ii was pretty
mean spite that prompted him TO asun'
the name of my sister before the public
and probably with the further desire Of
having his picture published in tAs
papers"
Mr.. Percivsps story Of the vanishing
OF his fsDcee Was very romantic. BE
and Mr.. Howe had been sweethearts in
Virginia since childhood, but they
drifled spart and each was married 10
the same month. By another coinci-
depce they we're divorced In the some
month. Tney were to have been married
October 81 =, in the "Litlle Church Arodnd
the Corner" The heir OF Percivsl Island
declared that he was fully prepared fOr
the wedding on the day set, but that
bis fsncee failed TO appear. This does
not agree with Mrs. Wilmot's statement
regarding the broken engagement. Mrs.
Howe was divorced on October 30 from
J. Wilson Howe, OF Washington. Hei
sister refused to say where she is, as she
does not wish to have Der annoyed.
A dispatch from Chicago says Ms,
Virginia Peyton Knight Howe, Wiz
ginia society belle, who left New York
city mysteriOusly day SITTER sye was d.
vorced from her husband and an hour
before it was said she was to have be-
come the bride of Justin Percival, the
heir to Percivs's Island, at Lyuchburg,
was found in Chicsgo yesterday at the
quarters of the Young Womsu's Chris
tain Association. She had left New
York without notification to her family
and without the knowledge of the nan
who was at the moment dressing for the
wedding. She says her engagement II
Percivsl is over.
A dispatch from Lynch5urg says Justin
Percival, who is figuring In sensational
search for Mrs. Virginia Knight Howe
Ia New York City, according to some Of
the metropolitan papers, is native Of
this city. His father is a supernumet
airy on The police force, and as such in-
spector OF bridges in the city. The
statement that be is an heir TO PercivsPs
Island Is a myth.

THE INCREASE of crime in France
hss aroused q popular demand for the
restoration of The death penalty, which
hiss been practically abolished by the
systemstic Communication of the sentences
Of criminals condemned to death. Re-
Gently iuries throughout the country
have recommended having recourse to
tie guillotine as being the only means Of
stoppiug the strOciOu3 murders which
are of daily occurrence in Paris and in
the proginces. A popular vote taken by
a local newspaper has resulted in l, OSS,-
$50 persons pronounciDg in favor OF
realoring capital punishment, while 1913,
602 opposed it. The first law given the
human race provided for the execution
of murdareIs, but representatives OF
couotries sad States, who would be wiser
thsu the Creator, have at times set that
ordinance aside. In nearly every in
stance, however, they have been COM
pslsd to return to capital punishment.
France will eventually be compelled to
again use the guillOtine.
