 Was in Waiting For Her.

Paris. March 27-The Countess de Flerieu has been murdered under extra ordinary circumstances at her house near Algiers. at place called Con stantine Ferry. The murder mas aroused great excitement owing to the personality of the victim, who was leader of Algiers society, and to the strange conditions which the crime was discovered. These recall the play Heard at the Telephone"
 Count de Flerieu left home few days ago for France, and the Countess remained alone in her house at Con stantine Ferry with the servants Al about 8:30 o'clock at night a friend of hers in Aigiers was called to the teie- phone by the Countess, who told her that she only rang up for chat be- cause she felt so lonely.
 Tt is horribly lonely here she said. "I am all alone in this great place with a maid who is at the other end of the house, and cannot even hear me when call"
 .'where are the other servants?" asked her friend
 They have been called" said the Countess voice. and then communica- ton was cut off.
  without and very precise reasons, felt uneasy about the Countess de Flerieu's safety.
 Early the next morning she went to see her, and arrived just as the shriek- ing maid found the body of her mis- tress.
 It was lying near the telephone in- strument the receiver of which wAs unlocked. There were eleven knife wounds in the body. The room had been ransacked, and the Countess jewelry wrenched from her fingers and throat.
 A native. 1t appears. had hidden him self beneath the countess dressing table. intending to commit the crime when the Countess slept. Tn prepar- Ing to retire. however she dropped a ring. which rolled beneath the table. stepping to pick 1t up, the saw the man, who at once set upon and stabbed her Her cries for help frightened her maid. who locked the door of her own room.

SOCIALIST IS LIVING
 MUCHLIKE ROYALTY

Paris. March 27-M Viviani. Socia1iSt Minister of Labor, has just moved into his new official residence. formerly tba palace of the Archbishop of Paris. The Apartments which now house the So- cialtst Minister and his subordinates are very imposing in character. A sna- ctous vestibule is approached by a ma testic flight of steps, with exquisite hammered-iron balustrade, leading to the upper floors.
 What was formerly the Archbishop's chapel is now the dining room ef the Labor Minister. It is more than for ty-five feet long by twenty feet broad and its large bay windows look out on the fine old garden in which the late Cardinal Richard and his coadjutors used to lofter on summer evenings and listen to the splashing of a fountain The fountain has two superb vases in pink and yellow marble, with serpents intertwined. while the base Is formed of fnterlaced dolphins in gilded metal, after the manner of the tritons at the palace of Versailles
 The ceiling of the chapel Is supported by columns with sculptured capitals between which are richly carved panels of Eighteenth Century design. Floods of electric light fall from massive gilded candelabra.
 Delegations of laborers will be re. ceived in the Ministers cabinet" the most elegant room in the palace. Lofty gilt pilasters support cornice relieved by graceful ornaments. Above the doors are fine sculptures and the great chimney piece is white marble flanked by superb bronzes.
 On the first floor are g. billiard room a private salon. a second dining room of smaller dimensions than that of the ground floor. but quite as artistic ally decorated-and two bed rooms that are intended for the Minister ana command view of the Archbishop's garden and the gilded dome of the h. valides.
 The general scheme of decoration employed throughout the Ministry of Labor Is white and gold. and as NJ, Viviani's socialistic tendencies have little In keeping with the Empire pe- riod and its traditions, he has compro-' missed on furniture of the Louis XIII. and Louis XVI styles.

 NEAR LYNCHBURG
 Lynchburg, May 7,1861. Dear Mary:
 I wrote to William yesterday, and as I have a chance I have concluded to drop you a. line today. We are now quartered In the woods four miles from town. and 1t has been raining for two days past. We are all as wet as drowned rats" and in consequence a good many of our company are sick with colds and dysentery. None of our company of your acquaintance how ever have been unwell. but all of us would rather be sick at any time than to be compelled to undergo the fla tigues and privations of a camp life I tell you that the life of a soldier to those who have no experience is very attractive, but to those who have "seen the elephant" it Is enough to say that so far as we are concerned all our IunA IS ycl u COlut. "c WcEC penned up in freight cars all the way from. Atlanta to this place like a set of hogs, and on our arrival at Lynch burg we were sent to the Fair grounds and quartered In the horse and COW stalls, but as our boys kick ed up'' a muss "the powers that be- moved us to the woods and we are now quartered in tents in the mud. On our trip here we had perfect ovation all the way. At Knoxville, Bristol Wytheville, Cleveland, and Lynchburs men, women, and children turned out by thousands to welcome us. At one l place in Tennessee we found two United States flags flying, but we boys tore them down and one man who hur- rahed for Lincoln was shot by some one in our crowd. This fact of course none of us will ack nowledge but some of us know all about it. We will leave for Norfolk tomorrow and doubt not but we will have battle before long, and I asure you that ir the three thousand men from oul State there is none but who will march up to the cannon's mouth cheerfullJ Fin defence of our own section. It is true that our life is a very hard one but We are ready for the conflict, anc "come veal or woe' we will fight til | the last.

MODES OF RUSSIA
INDIAN TROUBLE MAKERS ADOPT
 THEM.
Recopuixed Now That The Introduc- tfon of Anarchism Has Given England n New Problem
 fin India.
Ry A. R. HOWARD.


 Calcutta. March 27-A remarkable feature of the latest Anarchist dis closures is a slavish imitation of Rus sion methods The Indian Anarchists make a close study of Russian manual of revolution and other Rus sian Anarchist literature. In Russia the moving spirits frequently select young and hysterical girls as their in- struments; in India the secret organ izers invariably choose excitable and underfed youths, who are carefully drilled and warned never to reveal anything.
 The assassin of Babu Astuosh Bis was, the Public Prosecutor at Alipur. Is stunted deformed youth who resolutely refuses to incrimipate the instigators of the deed. He practiced revolver shooting for a month before the murder, and he now repeats like a parrot certain sentences which 1t Is evident, he has been taught By others. He declares that he has fulfilled his mission, and that he would like to be hanged at once. Asutosh Biswas was the only man who had all the threads of the case of the Alipur Anarchists in his hands; hence his murder. but the further and larger motive of the propa- ganda is to deter all natives from as- sisting in the government of the coun- try.
 It Is slowly becoming recognized that the introduction of Anarchism into India is new factor in the situation which is of enormous import. and that under Indian conditions that factor Is not likely to disappear At present the propaganda is in It's infancy. but the temptation to wield so potent and ter rible a menace will probably be too strong to be resisted. It Is feared that the movement will grow in spite of all precautions. Even now the Indian mental groups. but unquestionab1y the violent political agitation. particularly that of the extremists has provided suitable soil for Anarchism. The time must come when Great Britain will have 10 reconsider her whole attitude towards Anarchist refugees. The same considerations apply to the apostles of seditlon, and people are aready asking why the men who are not allowed to preach sedition in India may do so with impunity in Great Britain.
 New Measures.
 The measures that are likely to be taken if there should be a repetition of the outrages in Calcutta are being freely discussed.

Astonishmeu is Expressed in New York at the Demand of Cer- tain Minister for Wet

New York, March 27.-More than 20.-
 poo families aggregating over 100000 persons. 1t Is now estimated, have been
 driven from their homes by New
 .York's building quake. that is, the steady advance in the transformation
 of this city which is now nearing com- pletion--a total to be compared only to the number who suffered similar fate in the scent Italian earthquake. These nguress win be doubled. 1t Is as- serted, before the new New York. structuraliy speaking, Is. achieved. The destruction of homes has been confined to no one locality, nor has 1t come as the result of any one event. Every big undertaking has contributed its quota of persons who have in many cases literally had their homes pulled down about their heads. To make room for the approach to the new Manhattan bridge, now nearing completion, the destruction of the homes of 1000 fam lilies has been necessary and the wreck ing of the tenements along the dimes of approach have made 10,60e persons homeless. More than 12.000 persons were driven from their homes to make way for the approach to the new Will liasmburg bridge. In place of the
 former narrow |tenement-lined street
 there ia now a wide parkway. The new $25.000,000 Pennsylvania terminal swept away the homes of 15,000 per- sons who inhabited four square blocks. The new building. however. will have space to accommodate twenty times that number. or 300.0o0. and if pushed to its greatest capacity will be able to handle 14s,oo0.ooo people every year.
 The erection of the new Grand Central terminal. which before 1t is finished will cost close to $70.000,000. deprived thousands of persons of their homes
 Almost every new office building and manufacturing plant erected means a further encroachment of business up- on residence territory and Manhattan as already so crowded that most of those evicted by this process must go to other boroughs or to the suburba Altogether New York's continuous building quake Is quite as great a wrscker of homes as any quake which nature can produce. ..sf. .----, 7. <.

HEAR Coal. -. =. . ..
CAS- FEB, 2l

Washington, Nov. 22.-The United
States supreme court has fixed Feb.
21 as the date for the hearing of the
maximum coal rate cases from North
Dakota.
This case was advanced on the cal
endar at the request of Attorney
General Miller of North Dakota who
appeared before the supreme court
last month for that purpose, explain
ing the necessity for prompt action
on the part of the courts.
The legislature in North Dakota en-
acted a maximum coal rate law in
1907, which the railroads entirely ig.
nored. Former Attorney General
McCue began legal proceedings in
the name of the state and won out
before the North Dakota courts, Sc
curing an opinion holding the law
constitutional. and an order instruct
ing the railroads to conform to the
rates. The North Dakota courts was
so confident of it's position it order
ed the law enforced pending an ap-
peal. The supreme court of the
United States held this order up
pending the appeal. 1t is proposed
to hurry the case along as rapidly as
possible and before the winter is
over North Dakotans will know what
relief they will have from the alleg-
ed excessive coal rate now claimed
in that state.

FAMILY HAD A
NARROW ESCAPE

Hannah, N. D., Nov. 22-The fam
lily of P. w. Ault, cashier of the Eas'
by bank, had narrow escape from
asphyxiation by coal gas. About
o'clock Mr.. Ault arose in answer to
an early call. with hazy, tired feel
ing. He did not suspect the cause
as he somewhat recovered on reach
ing the open air. Mrs. Ault and Miss
Minnie Baker were not so fortunate.
When they attempted to arise later
they both fell to the floor almost in
a stupor AS they reside over the
hardware store they succeeded in at
tracing attention by repeated rapping
on the floor.
Those entering the room devined
the cause of the trouble and flooded
the rooms with fresh air, but not un-
til evening did the ladies recover
sufficiently to breathe freely
They are both now out of danger
and are grateful for their fortunate
escape from death.
