are on the warpath against the jury that gave the first prize to the French architect, Cordomniers.
 In the current issue of the -Hohe Warter all these men. each ol whom thinks he ought to have been given the first prize. in a signed article say that the jury did not go by the rules laid down for its guidance and gave prizes to Architects whose designs ought to have been rejected.
 The jury awarded the first prize to Cordomnier for diplomatic and po- litical reasons which had nothing to do with art, or because they were razzled by the fame of the yEcole des beaux Arts which is anything but a modern art We intend to fight the unjust decision of the jury to the lasts

 Mrs. Duncan's costume is scarcely less eccentric. It looks like a shawl with many folds, leaves neck, right shoulder and arm bare as well as the back almost to the waist, but it reaches to the ankles. or she would have been in trouble.
 The couple were at first followed by a crowd of boys wherever they showed themselves in the streets, but now they attract little attention ex- eept from strangers.
 A murder which reminds very much of the famous golden supper affair in New York has been committed at St. Petersburg. In the Warsaw de- pot, the other day, was found a large basket which when opened by the authorities was found to contain the trunk and limbs of an old man, while the head was missing.

 The next morning We wanted to go to church as usual, but were not al .owed to do so. The mistress came to us in the shop, went down on her knees and said that she had killed the old man who boarded with us, and threatened to kill us if we said a word
 Then she gave each of us a 100 roubel bill to scrub the blood off the floor upstairs. The servant wanted more money and got 200 Roubles more
 The master woke up, but the mis- tress told him to visit her sister in the country When he had gone, she gave us the head of the murdered man, and We burned it in the kitchen stove; then she went away and told us, to say that she had gone to Ger many, and have not seen her since .''
 The police of Berlin are looking for the woman, but it is thought she is on her way to America. She had more than 10000 roubles with her, the savings of the murdered man.
