the French law, moreover. with the means
of doing so.
Or the many frequenters of the vicom-
tesse's establishment in the Avenue Wag-
ram perhaps NJ. Jules Chabot was as well
come guest as any. His undoubted re-
spectability made him an exceedingly de-
srable acquaintance. NJ Chabot, on the
other hand, liked the free-and-easy at
mosphere of the de Valiar mansion. De
Valiar was a man who always had some
young rich fool dangling after him, de-
sirous of seeing life. certain portion
of the money only Of these innocents
could be diverted to the innumerabe and
mysterious uses OF the Mutual Credit
and Trust Company. They we're then af
forded an opportunity of losing the resi-
due at the card tables In the Avenue
Wagram.
Many doubtless, who frequented the
vicomte's establishment were totally I'M
aware of the risks they ran. These were
rarely suffered to go behind the curtain.
NJ. Chabot was one of those who had for
LEGGED circle without great care. To do
him justice, it is highly probable that if
the veil had been removed all at once, he
would have ceased his visits altogether.
He lived In bachelor apartments. Pro-
foundry impressed with a sense of his
personal dignity, he endeavored on very
small income to keep up appearances.
Lately however, he had joined de Valiar
in more than one investment by which
he had profted
The willy de Valiar, who had allowed
his friend to pocket something handsome
as his share of these enterprises, of
course, had his object In view. What
other, indeed, could it be than to discover
all about Chabot's rich friend, Nine.
Roupell, concerning whom VI. Chabot was
not at all 10th to impart information,
for he would in his turn be able to dis
cover what probable dot the old lady
would be able to give whichever of the
girls he should choose to marry.
Such inquiries, the vicomte, whose DO

to make better than Chabot, willingly
set on foot TO oblige his friend. He as

bot, it only remained for him to declare
himself to one or the other Of the young
ladies', and he had been, as the reader
will have seen, on the very eve of max
ing such declaration to Emily Weldon
when the tragedy occurred.
The question which now arose In the
mind of NJ. Victor Lablanche, the astutt
project Of police, was this: Had M. Cha
bot sought to precipitate matters by the
removal of the proprietress of the Cha
teau Villeneuve? He had discovered al
ready that inquiries regarding her forum,
and her intentions respecting it had beer
set on foot by Jules Chabot. A littl,
further research revealed the fact that
the Frenchman's finances were in des
perate condition. In his later enterprises
with the Vicomte de Valiar, fortune haC
not been so kind. He had lost heavily

FIVE BURIED IN
CALIFORNIA Mine

QUINCY, CAL, Jan. 31.-One OF
the most appalling and unfortunate
accidents which has transpired in this
part of the State during late years
happened at noon last Saturday, al
the face of the Bellevue mining tun-
mel, situated between Gibsonville AMI
La Porte, when six men, engaged III
starting a gangway from the main
drift, were caught in cave-in and
snUr were buried.
Wv0ne of the men thus caught was
Noah Cadman, who was buried To
the waist in debris. His two COM
rades managed TO extricate him and
pull him away from further danger.
The other men were completely shut
off from escape or buried under the
falling rock and dirt.
The accident caused great excite
ment about the mine. and immedi-
ately a force of men was put to work
to rescue the imprisoned men, dead
or alive. 1t is reported that for a

SECURE CONTROL
OF GIROUX Con

Binford & Hulse, of the Ely Mining
Stock Exchange, are in receipt of a
wire from a prominent brokerage
firm in New York, which states that
the Guggenheims and the brokerage
firm of Hayden, Stone & Company
have secured control of the Giroux
Consolidated Copper Company, and
will henceforth direct the manage
ment and development of the prop
erty.
For some time past it has been the
general opinion of those who are in
position to know that eventually
the Guggenheims would take over the
Giroux property, but thought the fact
that the Giroux company is operating
properties in Mexico, which are on a
dividend paying basis, and when
have been providing the money with
which to carry on the development
of the mines here, would prevent the
company from being affected in the
present financial disturbance and
keep it from appealing to stronger
people for money with which to carry
on the development work.
If the report be true that the
Giroux people have given up the con-
/ troll of the company, which they have
held in the family circle for the past
eight years, it is also probably true
that they did not do so without the
receipt of some millions of dollars

ed by his wife Sin a cruel and in
human manner"
1t is further alleged that on Tues

as if to secure revolver. Stimler
AYERS that at the time he was en-
gagged in Gliding his wife in reference

brief period after the accident hap
pened, voices of some of the impris-
oned men could be heard, but they
soon ceased, it being evident that
they were smothered.
Although their comrade miners
worked diligently and necessarily for
the recovery of the bodies of the I'M
fortunate men, the progress made
was very slow, due to the fact that
the ground was very dangerous. 1t
was not until Tuesday evening at 6
O'Clock that the first body was re-
covered, that of J. e. Buckley of La
Porte. This morning it was reported
that the whereabouts of second
body had been determined, but it was
thought that, owing to the slow pro-
gress necessarily made, it could not
be recovered until tomorrow.
The bodies yet to beerecovered are
those of Foreman Thomas Costello
of Gibsonville. and Benjamin Merriam
of La Porte.

AFTER THE HEAVY DINNER.
Good. Idea to Pass Digestive Tablets
Among the Guests.

If you have provided a big dinner
whose consequences you fear for some
of your guests It is not bad idea
to have digestive tablets passed as
soon as the diners leave the table.
This can be done in the way Of a
joke. Each pepsin tablet should be
wrapped in tinfoi1 and inside written
with a motto or some ludfcrous advice
on the danger of overeating and the
wisdom of getting the best OF big
dinner before it gets the best Of you.
1t will afford much amusement, but,
nevertheless, see that all take their
pill, whether they want to or not. ).

Handsome Reception Gown of cheviot
with Fine Trimmings.

A very handsome reception gown
was developed in a princess model
from cerise French cheviot. This mate.
rial being rather heavy, the elabor.
ate touches were shown in fine trim
mings. A deep yoke of white lace was
broad over the shoulders and the
front piece extended several inches
below the waist line, where 1t was
finished with broad tab effect. The
narrow belt closed at each side of the
lace piece. An odd feature of the
trimming was shown in innumerable
little pendants of cerise enamel which
studded the lace, not heavily, but no
ticeably. The skirt was made decided
ly full around the lower portion by the
Introduction of set-in folds which were
simply outlined with a narrow finish.
Ing braid of the same color. The
sleeves were alternate rows of cerise
satin and the belt was of satin.

NO MORE OF pHoNooRApn.
Why Secretary Mstealf has plseen.
y, tlnusd ltssUss. n

Secretary Of the Navy Metcalf has
had an experience with the phono-
graph which causes him to lean all the
more strongly upon stenographers.
When arranging to prepare his an
nual report he found all the short
hand clerks in the department en-
gagged upon work they could not sus-
pend. and he decided to use q phono-
graph. The first day he dictated some
thing like 1900 words into the little
instrument. The cylinder turned with
an easy motion and the machine ap-
parently registered what the secretary
said without . hitch. The next day
thousands Of more words were uttered
by the secretary in the little wonders
ear. The third day he completed the
report. The cylinders were turned
over to the typewriters. and the Sec
rotary went cut to play golf. When
he returned q typewriter came to
him.
Mr.. Secretary" he said, the phono-
graph did not register properly. Some
thing was the matter with It,"
What's that ?", asked the secretary,
astonished. Let's hear it."
The story circulating at the navy
department Is that the secretary put
the receiver to- his ears and heard
the photograph gurgle. There was .
buzz, then 100000 battle ships are re-
quired"-buzz, bugs submarines are
weapons. the armor of which causes
them to make not less than 49, knots
per hour
Then the secretary said few words
which were not registered on the cyl.
fnder, and called to his stenographer.
He is: now engaged in debating his no
port to- his private secretary.
