Paris, Oct. 5.-Catulle Mendes, the
celebrated French poet and author of
"Scarron," "Chand d'Habits," etc, has
again turned his attention to panto-
mine. His pantomine, which has been
produced at the Folies Bergeres, is
remarkably well handled and shows
how graceful and delicate a panto-
mine can be.

An, amusing story of journey that
never took place has been told to the
Paris magistrates by fashionable
and beautiful young woman whose
name is Mile. Yvonne Levy, but who
called herself Da Sylvia.
Miss Levy is charged with selling
three necklaces which she bought on
credit from a ieweler in the avenue
Sae FOpera, and she told the story 10
,proye that her fraud was forced upon
her by unavoidable circumstances.
She left Paris last December for
IBuenos Ayers in company with a
Young man of charming character, but
no money, named Dieterie.
Mile. Levy possessed two thousand
dollars obtained from the sale of her
furniture. They went first of all to
San Sebastian, en- route for Lisbon
where they were to embark. At San
Sebastian, that giddy Spanish resort
the lady went to the roulette tables
and lost all she possessed.
she was compelled to sell two OF
the necklaces. They had been sold tc
her for $12,640, but all she obtained
for them was $2,ss0. Most of this was
cost also at roulette, and so she gave
up the idea Of going to Buenos Ayres
and went instead to London.
At London she fell ILL., and was op
Grated upon for appendicitis. To en-
able her to live and to pay the ex
pense of the operation she was oblig
ed to sell the third necklace at ar
enormous sacrifice-something like {
fifth Of what she had given for it.
On her recovery she came back t.
Paris, hoping to find here friend
who would relieve her of her pecun
larry trouble, but before she had tim,
to do this she was arrested.
A startling and lugubrious discov
cry has just been made at the nationa
and public library at Naples. A valu

bequeathed to the library by wei
known scientist. Since then two Il

made a catalogue of them have die
of cancer. This led some doctors t,
examine the books and it has beer
found that they are thickly infeste,
with the microbe cancer. Further in
