RECLUSE SO YEARS
IN FAIRY PALACE.
Mme. Do Prsvisny Dead After
Her Long Life Of Mourning For
Her Husband.

Nine. De Previgny is dead after
having lived fifty years in her fairy
palace in the Boulevard Poissonniere
without ever looking out upon the
street or leaving the house. writes
the Paris correspondent of the New
York American. Her last will and
testament provides that the palace
and park be turned into a home for
the aged. For the administration of
the home she left a capital of 10000
900 francs ,($2, 900, ,O0O).
After the funeral of the eccentric
old lady the relatives hired number
of mechanics to open the windows of
the house and the gates of the palace
and gardens. For fifty long years the
shutters on the boulevard side of the
great mansion had been nailed down,
and communication with the outer
world was had only by a small door
in the wall which surrounded the
palace on all sides.
When Nine. De Previgny, now de-
ceased. entered the palace for the
first time as it's chatelaine, she was
Just turning twenty and bride. At
the wedding breakfast, scarcely an
hour after the wedding ceremony.
her young husband fell from his
chair, dead, The bride, thus sudden
ly made a widow. dismissed her rela-
tives and other guests, and, calling
her servants together, asked which OF
them were willing to remain under
the following conditions:
The mansion to be closed up tight:
the horses to be disposed of. and no
direct communication with the outer
world was to be had under any cir
cumstances.
Twelve servants accepted the con-
ditions. OF them five are still alive,
having shared their mistress incar-
ceration to the last. During the fifty
years of their residence in the closed
mansion they never saw a newspaper,
never talked to an outsider. They
never heard of the downfall of Napo-
leon. of Bismarck at Versailles, OF
the Commune. of the Third Republic.
of the invention Of the telephone. BIZ
cycle, automobile orthe electric light
The servants were content to vege-
tate. hoping for their final reward in
the shape of capital of half mill
ion francs which the rich recluse
promised to all who remained with
her
During these fifty years Nine De
Previgny ordered annually of one Of
the big man milliners twelve white
silk gowns, with undergarments and
slippers to match. for she chose to be
always attired as on the day of her
bridehood and widowhood. On the
first of every month she donned a
new bridal robe. OF this years sup
ply five were left, and in one of them
Nine. De Previgny was buried.

had plans Of her own in regard to
him. So 1t happened that when the
proceedings were at their height Gen.

Princes side. where she stood for
some time, as her father learned later
Oh, watching him intently.
At last she seemed to be quite sure
of his good nature. for she reached
out her hand and gently stroked his
left hand as 1t rested on the handle
of his sword. The Prince turned
around with an astonished express
sion, but when he saw the pretty
child's face smiling up at him he
smiled amiably himself, stopped and
shook hands with her and asked who
she was. She answered:
I'm Miss Kate Batcheller, of the
United States"
The Prince was greatly amused,
and when they told him who her ia

GROWERS WANT
BETTER PRICES

One hundred carloads OF apples will
be raised by the larger orchards in
this immediate vicinity, exclusive of
the BlalOck and Dumas orchards. is
the estimate made yesterday by the
fruit growers at their meeting held in
the court house. To market them to
the best advantage is the object of the
association and they are to make an
effort to get prices equal to those of
any other fruit raising district.
Several eastern fruitbuyers are to
make Walla Walla their headquarters
this year and this will have a tendency
to boost prices. All things being equal.
local commission men are to be fav-
Ored by the growers; but they will not
be given the apples if they will not pay
the prices.
The apple orchards were classified
at the meeting yesterday and a sched
ule prepared whereby it can be seen at
a glance just how many boxes of each
variety are to be obtained. and where.
