PARIS IS THE SCENE OF ~-'
 SAD DRAMATIC TRAGEDY

Paris Nov. l4.--A sad domestic trag- edy has occurred at a well known Paris hotel, which is attracting atten- ton on account of the prominent po- sition of its characters. M. Girard, the victim. Is a we'll known engineer. whose interests Involve long and fre- uuent absences abroad. His wife. who is devoted to him, feels these voyages keenly. and was almost heartbroken at the prospect of his departure for South America the other day.
 The couple spent the day in Paris dining at a fashiona ble, restaurant and ending the evening at music hall. At midnight they returned to their hotel. and lay down fully dressed on the bed to await the time when M. Girard' s train left.
 Shortly after a. m. shots were heard The servants rushed to the room and found husband and wife ly- ing wounded It appears that Mime. Girard had made last appeal to her husband to abandon his journey, and that proving in vain she fired four shots at him, inflicting dangerous wounds Afterwards turning the weapon on herself, she fired the re, malning two chambers. but her inju- ries are only slight. {.

YOUNG TURKS HAVE GIVEN
 COUNTRY NEW. CHARACTER

Beriirl.. Nov f4.l--The HambIrger Nachrlchten pubiishes an interview which a correspondent of a Russian paper has had with General Yon der Golts. Hate chief instructor of the Turkish army. The General com mended the objects of the young Turks to reconstruct the empire in peace and without foreign complications, and said that they were naturally hard hit by the latest occurrences in Bull garia, Bosnia and Crete, in which they saw a grave danger for the new re- gime. It must not be forgotten. how ever. that they had to recRen with the public opinion of a great people who were sensie eRe in regard to their honor.
 Speaking of the army, General yon der Goltz said: T am convinced that the Turkish army, bx its. good inclina-- tions and by the distinguished intellt-
 gence of the majority of It's officers, will in short time make great prog ress. But even now I would utter an urgent warning against undefestimat- ing the strength of the army in It's play extraordinary adaptabiiity in quickly taking care of himself when regular means are wanting by impro- vising others to meet the situation. In any case, the world would be ex- traordinarily surprised in a war by the resistance or -Whlch the Iurklsn army would prove itself capable in its present condition. ...- -
 New life is now awakened in the army as iIi the administration. Young Turkey has the earnest desire to do away with the old system of corrup- tion, and up to the present time no single person has been given posi- tion whose integrity Is not fully as- sured. The names of the new people who are practically ruling Turkey were .hither- | to quite unknown, which makes the reorganization of the empire much more difficult. But I know most of the leaders personally, and am convinced that they have only the purest and most upright objects in. view. I am, moreover, satisfied that they will sue ceed in transforming their country
 without violent shock to the empire or to Europe.

 Troubles.

Troubles.
 Berlin Nov. 14.---From all. parts of the empire come most serious reports of unemployment. It Is not confined to the north or south, but apparently all industrial regions are affected;
 In the 'Soziale Ruhdsehau" there is an account of general depression in the building and allied trades showing that in these industries unemployment Is infinitely more serious than in any recent year.
 The important industry of ready made clothing. including ladies' man ties, underwear, etc. which employs hundreds Of thousands in all the large cities of the empire, is in a very bad condition Everywhere complaints are heard of lack of work. and wages have been reduced still further in the num- erous home industries. In all branch es of the tGxtile trade the. condition of affairs is described as desperate.
 The same complaint comes from Si- lesia and from ttTe western provinces, from Bavaria as well as from the north; and the state of affairs is not yet at it's worst in Silesia. For exam nle. in most of the factories the week . work has been reduced to four days and the number of unemployed grows larger every week.
 Already extensive measures have been taken, not only in Berlin but ir almost every industrial town of Ger. many. to assist the workless the mu- nInipalities everywhere being urged tt advance public. works some weeks SC as to find work for as many unem' nIoved as+possible.

 ''We hear from an important quar- ter an interesting piece of informa ton which throws some light on the sudden action of the government with regard to the eucharistic procession.

Defense Closes Its Case

New York, Jan. 27.-The Thaw defense closed it's case today with manic-depressive" insan. lty as the explanation of the death of Standford White at the hands of the young Pittsburg millionaire.
 Tomorrow the prosecution will begin it's evidence in rebuttal and the case should go to the jury by Wednesday night or Thursday noon.
 District Attorney Jerome to- morrow will apply for the ap- pointment of a commission to take the testimony of Abraham Hummell, the convicted lawyer who is confined in the peniten- tiary on Blackwell's Island, and who is said to be too i'll to ap- pear in court. Mr. Littleton, of the defense, sad he would op- pose any such action, whereupon Justice Bowling announced that if necessary he would go to the island himself tomorrow night in company with the defendant and his council to preside at the taking of Hummell's testimony. The jury, it was stated, would not be compelled to take the night trip across the river. Thaw seemed to be delighted at the prospect of the outing, even to the grim shores of New York city's penal colony, and smiled broadly at the courts sugges- tion.
