PARIS PLEASED
Secretary Taii's Visit 10 ihe French Capital Will Be a
 Big Event
TO HAVE STATED'NNER

Paris, Nov. 13.-The French gov ernment is greatly pleased at the re- ported decision of Secretary Taft to stop in Paris while on shis way to the United States from the far east and is anxious to honor the American states man during his visit to the capital of
 France. A dinner in his honor by President Fallieres will doubtless form part of the program, but every thing will depend on the length of the secretary's stay here. Beyond the fact that he is expected to arrive here
 December 12, nothing definite is known on the subject, and even the date on which it is said he will arrive
 here may now be changed, as compli-
 cations have arisen which may modi- fly MT Taft's itinerary after leaving St Petersburg. Emperor William
 had expected to receive MT and Mrs Taft at Berlin, but subsequent to the secretary's departure from Manila for Vladivostok the German emperor de- cided to spend some time in England, after his official visit to King Ed
 ward at Windsor castle, and therefore
 he will not be in Berlin between December and g, while MT Taft will
 be there. In view of this change of plans the emperor has now graciously invited MT and Mrs Taft to visit him
 in England. This invitation, which was extended through Charlemagne Tower, the American ambassador to Germany, who is now in Paris, should
 reach MT Taft upon his arrival at Vladivostok, November IS. MT Tow CT believes the secretary will accept the invitation, which necessarily will involve the encouragement of his it. inerary. The ambassador, however
 also expects that the remainder of the Berlin programme for MT Taft's en- tertainment to stand.

FOUR TAKEN IN
Detectives Arrest Several Men Suspected of Being Impli-
 cated in Murder Case
TAKEN TO SHELTON

Ever since the murder of Frank Olnski in Shelton on Saturday night, the local detective force has been on the watch for some of those suspected of being implicated in the crime. De- tective Donnelly of the Pinkerton force, who has been engaged on the case in and around Shelton, the scene of the crime, came to this city this morning at the instigation of the local officers, and accompanied by Detectives Dodds and Kennaugh, they went to the factory of the Chase Rolling mill, where they placed under Andrew Popanik, two brothers, who are either suspected of being implicat- ed in the crime, or of knowing some- thing about it. While the officers would give out no direct information relative to just what evidence they had against the men arrested, it is be- lieved that at least one of them was
 
 may be seriously connected with the act. There are several now under arrest in Shelton and one of them is believed to be the real murder, who gives the name of Mikatos Mahita.
 The killing of Olinski took place at Polish wedding celebration. He was a great favorite of the women, being a fine looking young fellow, and in this way he incurred the enmity | of some of his countrymen. On the night in question he was standing | with a man named Greenwood, who is not Polish, but is married to a Polish woman. Greenwood was much disliked by the Polish people and on more than one occasion he has been thrown out of entertainments given by those people. It is believed by many that the blow that killed Olin- ski, and which nearly severed his head from his body, really was in- tended for Greenwood, for the latter received part of the blow as the knife was driven home. It is a diff. cult case to unravel as those whr could tell true story seem to be shielding the guilty one. The three men were taken to Shelton this after. noon by the chief of police of that place, who came here after them.
 Joseph Hewrella was arrested thi: afternoon by Detective Keegan il connection with the case.

ARTIFICIAL PEARLS.
What a Little Silver Fish Taught q
 French Beadmaker.

French Beadmaker.
 'T'll tell you," said jeweler, "how the wonderfully perfect artificial pearl came to be invented.
 "A rich French beadmaker Noise Jaquln-he lived in the seventeenth century-found a pond in his garden covered one morning with a lovely sil- very luster. Amazed, he called his gardener, who said it was nothing some albettes had got crushed; that was all.
 "Albettes were little silver fish, bleaks, the Leuciscus alournus. The gardener explained that if you crushed them they always gave the water a pearly sheen like that. Jaquin put on his thinking cap.
 "For six years he worked with beads and bleaks, wasting millions of both, but finally he achieved success. He learned how to extract the pearly lus- ter from the bleaks' scales and to cOv- CT a glass bead with it.
 What he did-and his method is still used-was to scrape the scales from the fish, wash and rub them and save the water The water, decanted. gave of a lustrous fluid of the thickness of oil, a veritable pearl paint. a magic fluid that imparts lovely pearly sheen to everything it is applied to.
 "It takes 1.r)0 blcaks to yield an ounce of this pearl paint."-New Or leans Times-Democrat.

WHEN NAPOLEON WALKED.
An Incident of the Tragic Retreat
 From Moscow.

An Incident of the Tragic Retreat
 From Moscow.
 It was on Nov. %, at about z o'clock in the morning. when we saw the head of the column. The first we saw were generals, a few of whom were on horseback, but the majority on foot. The latter painfully dragged themselves along, almost all having their feet frozen and bound up in rags and pieces of sheepskin and dying of hunger. We then saw what was left of the cavalry of the guard. The en- peror came next on foot, with a stick in his hand. He was muff1ed up in a large capote lined with fur and wore on his head an amaranthine velvet cap edged with black foxskin. On his right marched, also on foot, King Murat; on his left, Prince Eugene, viceroy of Italy; then Berthier, prince of Neufchatel; Ney, Mortier, Lefebvre and other marshals and generals whose corps had been partly de- stroyed.
 They were followed by TOO to 500 of ficers and suboficers, marching in or der and bearing in the greatest silence the eagles of the. regiments to which they had belonged and that had so often led them to victory. They were the remnant of over 60000 men. My poor Picart, who had not seen the army for a month, gazed on silently, but his s>convulsive movements showed only too well what he felt. I saw big tears roll down the cheeks and fall on his mustache. from which icicles were hanging. Then, turning to me, Really, compatriot, do not know whether Nam asleep or awake; weep because I have seen our emperor marching on foot. stick in his hand he that was so great and who has made us so proud"-"Memoires of Ser geant Bourgogne."

BIG LOTTERY SCHEME
Arrests in Chicago Exposes A.
 fair Which Has Been Run .. hing Twenty Years.

Chicago, Nov 13.-A morning paper to-day says:
 The biggest lottery in operation in the United States, which has been running for more than twenty years with headquarters in Chicago is claimed to have been exposed last night by arrests in this and other cities. The United States secret ser vice men assert that the promoters of the scheme have made millions of dol lars and that there are big men be- hind it who will be reached through the prosecution of the men now under arrest.
 Under the name of the Old Relia- ble Guaranty Loan and Trust Co, it is alleged, the lottery maintained three luxuriously furnished offices and large printing establishment here.
 Secret Service Agents Harry T. Donaghty, Otto F. Klinke and Law renee Richey raided all four of these establishments last night and ob- tained thousands of tickets, lottery paraphernalia, checks and returns from agents and the plates from which the tickets were printed.
 D. H. Jones, alias D. H. Kissam was arrested as the head of the con- cern and John E. Minor as a partner. Miner claimed to be in the real es- tate business. Warrants were is sued for Miss Cora Green, the con- fidential secretary of Jones, and Walter Schimbky, the bookkeeper at the local headquarters. At midnight Jones, Miner and Miss Green were arraigned before United States Com missioner Mark Foote and held un- der heavy bonds for trial.
 George E. Geisler, the St Louis agent of the concern, was arrested in that city and large number of lottery tickets and records confis- cated. Frank Falker, agent at Fort Wayne, Ind, was arrested by Agent Donaghy. Charles and Royal Ham mer were arrested at Indianapolis by Agent Klinke, and John T. Markland was arrested at McKeesport, Pa. All were held under heavy bonds.
 The secret service men, from the records that they have obtained, ex, pect to make more than 200 arrests in various cities of the country.
 An attempt will also be made to involve express companies as agents or accomplices under the federal act of 1895, forbidding the operation ot lotteries.
 Under it's various names the lot tery has been conducted on tle regu, lar lottery scheme, except that the prizes have been all out of propor. tion to the receipts and the commis. sions have been heavy

NEW YORK FOR THIRD TERM
Representative VreeIand Says Roose-
 welt Will Have Delegation.

Washington, Nov. 13. - Representa- tive. Vreeland of the Thirty-second New York district, Senator Fancher and NV. V. Franchot were at the White House and had talk with the president, which, they declared, was about oil lands in the Indian Territory, although they admitted that at times the conversation did have a political leaning. According to MT. Vreeland, if there is a sentiment in New York for the nomination of Governor Hughes for the presidency it keeps itself hid in his part of the state.
 AS between Roosevelt and Hughes, MT. Vreeland said there was no ques- tion but that New York would send a delegation to the next Republican con- vention that would be for another term for the president. But as between Hughes and all the rest of the candi- dates or any of them the governor could easily get the delegation.

BRADLEYMURDERCASE
Trial Which Has Attracted Much AtteDtiOn Was Resumed
 To-Day.

Washington, Nov 13.-The trial of Mrs Annie M. Bradley, charged with the murder of former United States Senator Brown of Utah, was resumed in district criminal court No 1 to-day. The case had been postponed from last Monday, when it was called for the first time, until to-day, on account of the death of Justice L. E. McComas of the court of appeals of the District of Colum- bia, and Mrs Bradley has had two days of rest after her first appear ance in court. -..>.
 She made her appearance prompt ly and was again the object of gen. eral attention. As on Monday, the court room was crowded and much interest was manifested in the case. Among those present were the twen- ty-six jurymen belonging to the reg ular panel and soon after the be- ginning of the session the court began the selection of the twelve men before whom the facts will be presented. The names of the men on the regular, panel were first called, but it was generally believed that it would be exhausted long be- fore the jury could be. secured. The case has attracted so much atten- tion from the time of the tragedy last December that most people in the district have formed some opin- ion and it is generally believed that it will be difficult to secure twelve men who are unprejudiced to sit in the case Mrs Bradley's counsel say, however, that they do not propose to be over particular in the selec" ton of the jury and that all they want is men of intelligence and fair ness.
