they looked up her record, was absolute.
ly true. Allaire's story is that friend
of his named Tardivel, a burglar, too.
confessed to him that he did the MUIR
ders. The detectives are making every
effort to arrest Tardivel, who is known
to them. One of the highest police Of
ficials in Paris said that he believes
Nine. Steinheil guiltless and that Al,
laire's story may be true.
Allaire says Tardivel told him the
murder was done by himself, another
man and the woman with whom Tardi-
vel lived. She, too, is known to the
police and will be arrested soon probably.
That there were three strangers agrees
with the original statement by Mime.
Steinheil Tardivel has a bad record,
which began in Italy. Often he earned a
few francs by posing for artists here,
and it is known that he was SteinheiPs
model a year before the tragedy. Tar
divel was spending much money a few
days after the murder; perhaps the
money that was stolen from the Stein
he'll house.
The woman named as TardivePs ac-
complete has reddish hair. Nine. Stein
held declared that one of the three MUIR
derers who, she said wore gowns like
monks, had red hair.
Very many persons believe that the
solution is near of a mystery that has
interested two continents and bat1ed
Frances shrewdest detectives.

Is Dead

London's oldest living link with thu

parents and governesses take him as +
text to deliver little historical talk Cd
the days of the great plague or the tima
when Milton wrote Paradise Lost and
the tortoise was young and frivolous.
Since November Methuselah has beer
alternating in the tortoise house in a
snug corner beside the hot water pipes.
From outward appearances he might
have been dead then, yet he was alive
and apparently doing we'll, and when the
sunny weather came his awakening was
looked forward to daily. The end Of last
week his keeper noticed a change id
him and an examination showed that

peacefully into death.
Methuselah was very long time I'M
settling down to his last sleep. He|
showed signs of activity ON NovemberS

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 1-Ap-

night sessions for the consideration of
the tariff bill. Senator Aldrich, chair
man of the committee on finance, indicat-
ed in an official way today an intention
of asking for such sessions by present
ing a resolution providing, that begin
ming Tuesday, the daily sessions begin
at 1870 a. m. and continue until II
p. ~, with intermission of two and a
half hours, from $50 to s p. N.
Senator Culberson, the Democratic
caucus leader, prevented immediate con-
sideration of the resolution by making
an objection, which had the effect of
forcing the resolution over until tomor-
row. Mr. Aldrich, however, gave notice
that he would move recess at $50
today until 1890 a. NJ, tomorrow with
the intention Of then asking for night
sessions and the carrying out thereafter
of the programme as indicated in his
resolution.
There is no doubt that the Republican
majority, including the progressives, will
support him.

7 SIMPLE WAY TO FROST GLASS.
Chemist Tells of Using Glue to Produce
Desired Effect.

A French chemist has discovered q
very simple and easy way to frost glass
says the Practical Druggist. The meth
cd is to cover a tumbler or bottle or 9th,
er glass object with thin, smooth and
thoroughly laid on covering of glue. Eli
ther very good cabinetmaker's glue or
fish glue will serve perfectly. The only
care that must be taken is to see that
there are no air bubbles in the glue aft
er it has been applied and that the coat
ing is uniform and of even thickness
over the entire article.
Glue thus applied to glass sticks to it
very tightly. Then it begins to contract
as it dries. Now, its tight hold on the
glass prevents the layers of glue from
contracting without pulling at the glass,
and thus, little by little, the glue Sits
and splits tiny fragments from the sur
face of the glass.
If certain salts are added to the glue
the effect is still more beautiful, because
then the splitting of the tiny fragments
is done in such manner that the re-
suit forms a perfect resemblance to a
frosted window pane. A glass tumbler or
flask so treated becomes a beautiful or
nament to the room or the glass cabin
eft,
