OFFICER KILLS GIRL
AND SHOOTS HIMSELF
Strange Mystery May Be
Solved Through Let
tiers in Greek.

PARIS, Nov. 1.-The authorities OF
Narenne are investigating a mysterious
double tragedy, OF which the victims
were an adjutant and a young school
mistress, cousin by marriage.
The adJutant, Jules Bunons had been
tWenty-three years in the army and
was proposed for the Legion OF Honor
After luncheon on Thursday he took the
train from Verdtn to AnbreViile, and
called upon Mile Louis. his cousin. at
Narennes. AS soon as he saw the girl
he shot her IN the back and lodged
another bullet ia her head. He then
turned the weapon upon himself. and
blew his brains out Neighbors ran out
hearing the shots, but they could not
enter the room as the girls body barred
The way.
When at last an entrance was effected
Il was found that help was useless. The
officer and the girl were both dead. The
double tragedy Is yelled in mystery, for
there was no love affair between the
couple, and the girls reputation is above
susT icion. They had, however. kept UP
a correspondence with each other. the
letters being written in the Greek alpha
bet. Some OF the letters have been
found. and il is thought they may fur
uish a clue TO the strange mystery.

LONDON, Nov. 7.-English aristo-

the reins OF power and lead the tone

would formerly have been ignored or
patronized ignore or patronize in their
turn.
Scandal follows scandal, catastrophe

code Of honor has been sacrificed to

has been substituted one based on the
infallible virtue OF pounds. shillings and

AS for the change that has come over
society since King Edward came to the
throne. Mr.. birmingham says:
Hustle and hurry are the order Of
the day.
Mans dress has become more lax

War Office Learns From
Russo Japanese Cam
paign Book.
PRACTICAL TESTS
MADE BY EXPERTS
Adopted for Use With Rifle, 1t Is
Said TO Have Stood
Every Trial.

LONDON, Nov. THE English war
Office has taken a leaf cut Of the cam
2aign book of the Russo-Japanese con-
f1ict and the grenade mas come much TO
She fore as an effective implement in an
enga cement. particularly at close quar-
ters.
The first Of a series Of practical tests
and experiments with a rife howitzer
EhTopneI grenade. invented by f. Narten
Hale, mas taken place at Faversham
before an assembly OF experts from
foreign governments and from the Brit
ish government contractors, Messrs.
Vickers, Sons & Maxim. The tests are
said to nave proved that the rife gren-
ade was most formidable and havoc
producing weapon
The grenade, which weighs one pound
seven ounces. is adopted for use with
the service rife and is propelled with
the ordinary service cartridge, which is
not unlike a fireWork rocket in shape,
also permits the use in the rifle OF a
much heavier powder charge when the
range IS considerably increased. With
the British government cordite cartridge
and the rifle elevated to an angle Of
thirty degrees the grenade IS thrown 450
feet. but by increasing the COrdite
charge 10 forty-fve grains the govern
ment cordite cartridge contains 3l-5
grains. double that distance IS obtained.
A feature OF the use OF the grenade is
that the firing Goes not in any way
1njUre or damage the rife, and the az
taehment on the grenade TO secure It to
the muzzle Of the rife does not inter
fers with the rifle Tor nTing ball cart
ridge or the employment of the bayonet
The grenade was tested In every way
conceivable under war conditions. A
stretch Of marsh. with a hiuOck large
enough 10 obscure from view an enemy
represented by several companies, was
selected Tor this purpose. The frag-
nentation was enormous, and IL was
obvious that q strategiCaI position thus
attacked would be absolutely unIenable,
and that the havoc among the defend
ers would be appalling.
The explosive power Of the grenade
was illustrated when one was fired into

 Last summer the agent of the Texas union Growers visited the Bermuda Is- lands and the Canary Islands and se- cured q big consignment of seed. These seed have preduued this years onion crop In Texas of a greater size and of fine quality.
 Whereas, 1t was formerly estimated that the Bermuda growers shipped a million crates of onions to this country annually, 1t is now estimated that their shipment thls year amounted to but sS0,o0o crates. Some 750 carloads of onions have been shipped out of South- west Texas already and the movement Is not yet over. It is estimated that over a thousand car loads will be ship ped. These have brought prices at first as high as $500 and $700 a carload before the competition of other onions came in, but now are bring from s4oo to $500 carload.
 The gross returns of the onion crop in this part of Texas will be over q million dollars this year; this does not include the amount sold and consumed at home A few days ago a whole shipload of onions left Galveston for Atlantic Coast ports. At the present rate that the growers are prospering, Texas In few years will have a class of onion millionaires.
