small boarding house, and regularly
every day made a round of the cafes in

the other newspapers scattered about

to the police, and he was subjected TO
an official inquiry; but as his papers
were found in order no further steps
were taken.
On Aug. Is he was arrested in mis-
take for another man, and though the
police this time were again satisfied
that his papers were correct he was
kept under the strictest surveillance.
On or about Sept. 6 he received in
structiOns to attempt the life of Prince
Henry of Orleans. who was then stay
ing in Geneva. Luccheni Immediately
set out for that town, only to find that
the prince had departed for Evian. The
murderous fanatic followed him TO
Esvian, and there not only missed his
intended victim again, but received the
information that the prince had left
the country.
Returning disheartened, we may sup

She spent a large part of her time at
the beautiful estate she had purchased
at Corfu, or in wandering about the
continent incognita and unattended.
She had been a few days at Territet,
near Montreux, where she had been
undergoing a cure for an aifection OF
the heart. She had only come to Cen

sight of her. and was staying IN the
Hotel Beaurivage. where she intended
to remain until Saturday, Sept. 10,
when she proposed returning by boat.
AS soon as Luccheni recognized the
empress, he determined, as he after
wards confessed, to take her life. Re-
turning to Lausanne to receive. so l

saw in the window of an old curiosity
shop long, thin file, or triangular sti-

with a handle of rough wood. Then he
hurried back to Geneva.
All Friday he hung about the hotel,
awaiting an opportunity 10 commit the

the empress was accustomed TO go
about like an ordinary person. and
had long persuaded the authorities of
the countries in which she Travelled to
dispense with the trouble of providing
her with the usual regiment CT police

In Switzerland, and in Lausanne in
particular, there were number of an

after being expelled from their own

Lausanne orders were sent to prepare
for the assassination of the Duke of
York. When, later, during the early

There was something peculiar and

to such protests has always been an

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF.

The charges made against Senator
and indiscreetly Endorsed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt, are promptly met by
a full and specific reply to the Ohio
senator which cannot fail to convince
any unprejudiced man that Mr.. Fora
ker has been wronged, and the injury
thus done him cannot fail to react
upon the Republican party. Taken all
together, the episode somehow calls
to mind a little Bible story which we
reproduce below. You al make your
own application of it:
"Then the lords of the Phillistines
gathered themselves together for to
offer a great sacrifice unto Dagon,
their god, and to rejoice; for they
said our god hath delivered Samson
our enemy into our hands.
"And it came to pass that when
their hearts were merry, they said,

out of his prison house and he made
them sport, and they set him between
the pillars.
