woman Lives n . Hole.

Practically buried alive. an old wo- man has lived fin hole in the ground in a wood near Versailles for eighteen months. The unfortunate creature had to be dug out by two forest guards. who, hearing her moaning, found her face appearing through a hole in the ground.
 The old woman was the wife of a ragpicker who had placed her fin the hole, occasionally bringing her food. When he left her he always covered the hole with brushwood.
 The hole was like a grave, only two feet deep, four feet wide and six feet long. Her long imprisonment had re- duced the woman. who is so years old. to a terribly emaciated state and she had to be taken to the hospital at Yer sailles Her husband was arrested, though she said he had not meant to do her any harm and besought the au- thorities to let him go

KIIIa Himself with Cannon.


 Sick with grief at the death of his mother, and older brother who fol- low&A her a week later. a youth of IT, son of a respectable shopkeeper, com mitted suicide with a toy cannon at 8 small village just outside of Paris.
 After his double bereavement the boy became very melancholy, and it was in vain that his father sought to distract his attention to other things. He was sent on a voyage, but on his return 1t was noticed that he was moodier than before.
 A day or two ago he was sent by his father to open the shop, but when the father arrived on the scene a few hours later, he was astonished to find the shutters still closed. He forced his way in. and a terrible sight met his view.
 His son was lying on the ground with his head literally blown to pieces while the walls were bespattered with the boys brains and in his arms he still held toy cannon, which had been the favorite plaything of his dead brother, and which had always stood in a cor ner of the garden.
 On the table was found a letter ad- dressed to his father asking him to forgive him for the pain he was about to cause his beloved parent in leaving that life was too intolerable to be borne any longer
 It is feared that the father, who Is now on the verge of insanity, may com init suicide like his son.

rumor has reached here that J. P. Morgan still continues to buy Italian works Of art in spite of the law which prohibits their being exported from the country.
 At Pistoia, where he was staying for a short time, he is said to have ac- quired a historic chimney piece and a magnificent painting by Botttcelli. A few days ago there was a great out cry against these purchases by Mr. Morgan, and the French papers took 1t up, asking the Governments of the various European countries to join hands to put stop to this despolia- tion of the old world by the nabobs of the new.

FTNANcTER,s sTATrMrNT.

New Yorks March 30-The Financier says:
 Last weeks official statement of the New York Associated Banks more closely agreed in it's cash gain with that which had been expected from the estimates that were based on the traceable movement of mon ey than have the majority of statements during recent weeks. hence the exhibit was borrowers point of view. The surplus Fe- serve was augmented by nearly three times the amount that was reported in the pre- ance of the permanency of easy monetary conditions at this center at least in the near future.
 The cash gain shown by the statement was 12,s4O. O00 this was chiefly due to the operations of the sub-treasury incident to the distribution of public deposits in the banks and to payments at New York for re- demption of four per cent bonds. General deposits were increased S17.s72,7oo which amount is one and three-quarter millions less than the sum of the expansion in loans and the gain in cash; hence the statement did not make good proof. The required mented s4,41S1T5 deducting from which the increase in cash left $s.4S3,s25 as the gain in surplus reserve to sls,1ss,275, the largest basis of deposits less s1s.1s1oo0 public funds--whieh 1t may be noted were aug mlllions-the surplus is SIT. s64.176

 The wheat market today ruled firm and higher throughout, with the exception of a smon decline early in the session.

Henry Irving and Helen Terry.

One very foggy night in December
 lS67-it was boxing day, l think-I Lcted for the first time with Henry Irving. This ought to have been great event in my life, but at the time it passed me by and left no wrack behind. Ever anxious to improve on the truth, which is often devoid af all sensationalism, people have told story of Henry Irving promising that if he ever were in a position to offer me an engagement 1 should be his leading lady. But this fairy story has been improved on since. The newest tale of the first meeting with Irving was told during my jubilee. Then. to my amazement, read that on that famous night when I was playing Puck at the Princess and caught my toe in the trap young man with dark hair and white face rushed for ward from the crowd, and said: Never mind, darling. Don't cry! One day you will be queen of the stage" It was Henry Irving!"
 Tn view of these legends I ought tC say all the more stoutly that until "Cht tO NhC AgACuAl lllGGttI EltuIA Irving was nothing to me, and was nothing to him. never thought that he would become a great actor. He had no high opinion of my acting, lie had said since that he thought me at the Queens theater charming and in- dividual as a woman. but as an ac- tress hoydenish. believe that he hardly spared me even so much defi- nite thought as this. His soul was not more surely in his body than in the theater, and I. woman who was at this time caring more about love and life than the theater. must have been to him more or less unsympathetic. He thought of nothing else: worked day and night: went without his din- ner to buy book that might be helpful in studying or a stage jewel that might be helpful to wear Ellen Terry in McClure's Magazine

HAS SIX SENSES.
Extraordinary Powers of Norwegian
 Boy ClairvOyant in London.

Little Johann Floettum, the Nor wegian boy chairvoyant, has been offered e1O per week by we'll known London music hall to give examples of his skill upon the stage.
 T hope, however" said Sir Henry Seton-Garr, when told of the offer, that he will not accept this offer, as it will spoil him forever. He certainly is very remarkable boy. l have just returned from my elk forest near Sing-Sass, in Norway, where he resides. He is quick witted and normal in every respect save and except for this remarkable sixth sense, which he undoubtedly pos seSses.
 One of the most remarkable of my own experiences with him came about in this way. About four years ago I shot at and wounded mag nificient bull elk, which, however, got clear away. 1 traced it for a whole day in the SHOW by the blood trail, but it came on to rain and the trail was lost. I have never seen that elk from that day to this.
 When Johann came to my shoot ing-boX I mentioned the incident to him. Placing his head. in his hand, he described minutely what he then saw l asked him if he could draw me diagram of the trail, and he inn mediately did so. With. his face still buried in his hand he traced with remarkable promptitude an extraor- 2in1rV pirplIitnnc tl,oo amazement it followed, at the outset, identically, the path up to which 1 lost the trail four years ago.
 Proceeding, he doubled back on the track, and ruled off considerable distance. Here he said, the blood trail stops. Continuing, he finished up abruptly in pool: some 1,S00 yards, as the crow flies, from the spot where I shot the animal. There, leg bones now lie. He has promised to go over and satisfy one of my hands that the head is there.
 Another extraordinary thing he
 saw was connected with a share certificate. The owner of it, share holder in Norwegian railway, lost this very important document Floettum was called in, and told him he distinctly saw the certificate in a neighbours house The certifi- cate was recovered.
 ''The boy discovered his remarka- ble sixth sense while playing hide and-seek. In this way, quite acci- dentally, he found that he could see where his fellow playmates were hiding, even when his eyes were shut. He has an elder brother per fectly normal in every way. but little brother, aged ', is already de- veloping clairvoyant powers. - London Daily Mail.
