Assassin Travels from Odessa 10
Paris 40 Prevent Her Marriage.
Paris, April 1s.-A dramatic love tragedy
occurred, in the Russian students colony
IN Paris yesterday.
Alexandra Gueska, aged twenty, Rus
sian student at Odessa, was deeply in
love with feIlow-student, Mile. Gilinsky.
She ignored his advances. however, and
some months ago she came TO Paris in
order TO study at the Sorbonne.
A few weeks ago she became engaged
to be married. The news reached Gueska
at Odessa and he at once set off for
Paris. About o'clock last night he
called at the rooms of Mile. Gilinsky, in
the Rue Meiebranche. and violently pro
tested against her forthcoming marriage.
The girl told him that his journey had
been q needless expense. as he knew we'll
that she did not love him and had no de-
sire to see him.
At these words the young man suddenly
drew revolver from his pocket and fired
at the girl, wounding her slightly. He
then turned the weapon against himself
and shot himself dead.
Mile Gilinsky. who is suffering from
shock more than from her wound. has
undertaken to pay the funeral expenses,
so that the remains Of her unfortunate
compatriot will not be transferred to the

PERFORMER LEAPS 10 DEATP
Five Thousand HOrrifed Spectators
Witness Terrible TRAGEDY.
French Professor Named Gadbin
Killed by Fall In Making
the death Leap.D

Berlin. April 1s.-A French porfessor
named Cabin was killed here last night
before the eyes of 5000 spectators while
going through a daring performance
known as the death leap at the Circus
Busch.
Gadbin's performance consisted Of leap
ing from the roof. 100 feet in height. 10
an inclined. smoothly planed wooden
shaft. After landing on the shaft, he slid
down into a net at the bottom. The dis
tance from the point where the leap be-
gan to the top of the inclined shaft was
sixty feet, and the shaft was forty feet
in length.
A successful performance of this feat
necessitated leaping so skillfully to the
shaft that the body should hit the shaft
lightly and glide. down the surface with
out severe shock. The hazardous nature
OF the performance was sufficiently indi-
Gated by the title given t. It. Cabin
himself understood thoroughly that the
least deviation from the proper course
through midair would inevitably result in
his death.
He dived from the roof headlong, and
poised his body While shooting through
the air at such an angle that he alighted
on the shaft at exactly the same angle
at which the shaft was inclined, thereby
sliding down without further resistance.
Last night he failed TO maintain this
poise and struck the upper end Of the
shaft with his chest. He turned a somer-
sault, and fell heavily TO the ground.
Death ensued shortly afterward
The performance was Immediately stop
ped and the Mortified audience silently
quilted the building Gadbin had per-
formed the death leap 4Ss times with

MAKE VAR ON LONDON RATS
Damage Done by Them at Wharves
Estimated at $50, 100000 a Year.
Man with New Exterminator Begins
Campaign to Free Docks of
the Plague.

London, April 1s.-"One estimate Of the
damage done by rats during the course
Of year has produced a total OF e10.-
100000. From exhaustive observations.
however, which I have made throughout
the country, ! should place the figure
at s12000, GOO or s14,0o00OO. The reports
OF my travellers show. In fact, that only
two industries are fully immune from
these pests-those of the stonemason and
the iron founder"
The above observation was made BIZ
c. A. Furu, who. with his rat exterml-
nator." yesterday commenced a cam
paign to free the London and India
docks at Tilbury from a veritabIe plague
Of rats The damage done by rats at the
docks is extraordinary. They gnaw
through sacks OF grain and spill the con-
tents; attack bales Of paper, in which
they tear ragged holes, and rip gaps in
consignments Of cloth and other goods,
rendering whole lengths Of material en-
tirely valueless.
There are twenty-seven sheds at the
London and India docks, each OF which
stands upon an acre Of ground. An old
man named Lawrence, who for ten years
endeavored to check the increasing horde
Of rats by means OF traps and various
poisons, calculates that burrowing under
the floors Of each shed are at least 2.OO0
rodents.
Upon this estimate, which is considered
a conservative one. the rat population OF
the docks is $4,000. Experience has proved
so far as figures EO-that each rat does
damage to the extent of at least one
farthing a day. Thus the rats at the
docks are responsible for nearly $500
worth of damage a day.
The remedy by which 1t is hoped to ex-
terminate this rat army in a space OF six
months is not in the nature of a poison.
Potatoes are infected with a tasteless
germ peculiarly deadly TO rats and mice,
and then placed in the rat runs" The
rats after eating the potatoes contract
a wasting disease. This. in addition to
proving fatal at the end of three or four
days, is highly contagious TO other ro-
dents

in the state that have during the past
two years been refused the right to sell
liquor, and they, too perahps are anxious
for the bill to go through. Some OF these
clubs went into the liquor business for
merely gainful purposes. In fact, they
paid most Of the expenses of their organ
izatiOns through the sale Of liquor; and
to restore the gainful privilege is their
aim now. A club, which is primarily
for the social betterment Of its members,
can't serve its best purposes when found
ed, nurtured and maintained on rum.
This Lesry bill, therefore, ought to be
thrown out alongside of that other ex-
treme which is represented by county
option.

CURRENT COMMENT.
Kill the State craft BiIl.

There is feeling of growing uneasi
ness in regard TO the liquor legislation
proposed by the Kinsley bill. Apart
from the occasional and most disconeert.
ing illusions to the doubtful disinterest.
edness of the measure, there is potent
in the atmosphere Of the legislature a
distrust regarding its effect as state
policy. Faced fairly with state license
commission Of practical politicians, ap-
pointed by governor who owes his po-
sition to them and their kind, the aver
age Vermonter does we'll to hesitate be-
fore creating a Frankenstein that later
may destroy him.
During the days in which this bill has
been before the committee on temper
ance, the discussion of its merits has
ben pretty constant. The man who pre-
sumes on the present legislature as a
dilatory and unfulhlling body may re-
eeive an uncomfortable surprise almost
any time. Already several would. be
leaders have been pretty roughly jostled
off their pedestals by the plain men in
the back benches, who sit in silence day
after day and seldom are heard of except
on Yea and Nay vote. And it is
among them that this distrust Is con
stantly growing. The theme of almost
all discussions is graft.
A man about the State House proposed
the following conundrum the other day;
II its costs 81 900 over and above all
legitimate fees to secure license in the
city of Rutland, what might the natural
graft be in, say 20 towns, with an
average of three licenses to town?
When legislator begins to think in
terms of 100000 the situation of the
would.be CRATER becomes precarious.
The state has never created possibilities
of this magnitude before. The gorgeous
and irresistible lure Of 100000 might
well attract the finest experts in the
painless separation OF the rumselIer from
his reluctant coin that the ancient pro-
hibitory law ever produced.
II is not a question, with these quiet,
hard headed members, as to whether
such commission would graft, but as
to how any self-respecting Vermont poll
tician could refrain from grating, with
such gilt edged, seh-proteeting, inn
pregnable opportunity as political Ii |
ccnse commission would have.
In the opinion of this paper, the Kin
sley bill will not become law.---Rutland
Herald.
