PARIS IN DREAD
OF MURDER BAND
Woman Found in Her Apart
ments, Strangled and Rob
bed of Diamonds.

PARIS. July IS.-Paris is still excited
at the latest mysterious murder, which,
following so closely upon the Steinheil
and Remy tragedies. has caused the
theory to be put forward that 4 gang
of desperate and clever criminals is at
work in the city.
Strength is lent TO this belief by the
resemblance between the murders oud
by the fact that the perpetrators have
in each case succeeded IN utterly baf-
fling the police
The latest victim was a Mime. de
Sauvezonr of "a Rue de Bondy. She
carried on the business Of her husband,
who died ten years ago, rs a traveller
In precious stones, especially in dia-
monds, and frequently kept a number
of gems in a safe in her fat.

Nine. de Sauvezon was seen by the
scrubwoman returning home as usual
The next day a man called at her house
with a satchel, rang the bell several
times. but being unable 20 get an
answer left the satchel with the con-
cierge and went away. During the re-
mainder Of the day the concierge was
on the lookout but it was not until
the following morning that her sus-
picions became aroused and a locksmith
was sent for to open the door Of the
apartment. The body Of the widow lay
near the door She had been strangled
with a thin cord which was still around
her neck. tightly pressed into the flesh.
Her legs were tied together at the
ankles and a bruise on the temple
showed that her assailants had evil

her legs TO prevent her struggling and
then leisurely strangled her.
A number Of empty jewel cases were
lying about, but others mostly con-
tanning articles of lesser value were
untouched.

Philadelphia Girl Receives
Twenty Proposals Since
London Debut.

LONDON, July 1s.-Niss Maghsrita
Drcxel. the pretty daughter OF Mr.. and
Mrs. Anthony ]. Drexal, of Philadel-
phia, is the subject of more matrimonial
gossip than any other girl in London.
Her friends declare shat she has re-
ceived at least twenty proposals since
she made her debut. The three young
men who are at present most assidU-
Gus IN their attentions are: First.
Lord Dalueny. the Earl Of Rosebery's
son and heir; second. Lord WodChoUse,
who is a member Of parliament at the
age Of twenty-five. and who will be the
third Earl Of Kimberley; and, third.
Viscount Royston. the eldest son of the
Earl of HardwicIle, who is nearly forty
The latter. however. is said to be COM
pIeteIy out Of the running" He has
proposed with astonishing regularity 70
all the new heiresses, but, like Lord
Dalmeny, his passion for the stars OF
the musical comedy stage has always
rather stood in the way of a serious
ma trimonial campaign
At Mrs. DrexelTs small dance the
other night Lord WodehOuse Was IA
vored BY the daughter of the house
with more dances thar any other young
nan. Miss DrexeTs friends. however
declare that there is nothing in it, at
present. and thst she is in no hurry
whatever to give UP having her free
dom. Moreover Miss Drexel has no am
bition for an alliance with the British
aristocracy, and no one would be sur
prised if she married one Of her own
countrymen.
The members Of the royal family,
with whom Miss Drexel is very popular,
are. however, inveterate matchmaker
and use all their influence TO bring
about marriages between American
heiresses and their own favorites at

ABSiNTHE Is BARRED

Law Against Liqueur Will Mean
Loss of Vast Revenue to the
Government.
Gov eminent.

GENEVA. July 1s.-AHsinthe is bar
red in Switzerland. As a result of the
national referendum the manufacture
and sale OF the deadly drink has been
prohibited by a majority Of between
eight and ninety thousand. SWlIzer-
land has thus followed the example Sc
BY Belgium.
The loss to the Swiss government by
this enactment viii be very great. as
most OF the famous brands Of absinthe
have been made in Switzerland and
enjoy a large export, while the con-
sumption especially in French-speaking
Switzerland has been enormous.
The victory is largely due TO the Swiss
press. which has been maintaining a
steady crusade against the hqueur.
