A search for a missing fortune re-
suited in dramatic surprises yesterday.
Some time ago a wealthy bachelor named
Boulain, an inhabitant of the Disc, left
home and took up his residence with NJ
and Nine. Jallier shopkeepers in the Rue
Saint Martin. NJ. Boulain died two days
later after his arrival at the house OF his
friends.
His relatives inquired about his for
tune, but NJ. and Nine Jallier declared
that NJ. Boulain has not deposited money
with them. complaint was lodged,
and NJ. Chenebent the examining mag
strate, was ordered to institute an in
ouiry After inquiries had been made at
several banks 1t was found that financial
operations concerning a sum OF 5000
francs had been executed by the Jalliers.
The examining magistrate gathered full
information about these deals and then
proceeded to search the Jalliers' home.
During the operation Nine. Jallier, who
is 81 years OF age, complained of feeling
cold. She passed into her bed room and
put on three or four additional skirts.
The cold feeling was apparently con-
tagious, for NJ. Jallier also made the dis
covery that he was shivering. He left
the searchers for a moment and returned
wearing his overcoat.
The police official thought that the
coincidence OF tho cold was rather Gu
rious and he decided to search the cloth
ing worn by the Jallers at the same
time as he was turning out drawers. The
search yielded surprising results. In the
old womans skirts he found bank notes
for 10000 francs. In the pockets OF the
old mans overcoat were two pocket
books stuffed with documents relating to
the sale of bonds. These sales have been
negotiated In FIVE different banking es-
Establishments the sum involved being So
900 francs.
The house of the old mans sister In the
Rue Vaucouleurs was also searched.
Here again the yield was fruitful Bonds
worth 10000 francs were found hidden
in a box.
question, returned to his office 1t was with
no less than $4,000 in his possession. By
reason of their great age the Jallier
couple were allowed their liberty.
"Chantecler" is likely to have an in
Simultaneous effect on the world OF fash
ion. At a well known milliner's estab-
lishment of the Rue Royale it was stated
this evening that the quaint yellow toque,
with its yellow and dark chest. worn by
Nine. Simone as the Golden Hen Pleas
ant In the play, was likely to cause a
popular revival OF gay-colored pumage
| in millinery, the vogue of which has suf-
| fered severely Of late owing to the cam
pagn against the slaughter of birds.
Many fashionable dressmakers and mil
| liners attended the dress rehearsal and
| the premiere of "Chantecler," with a
view OF seeing how NJ. Edel's marvellous
bird plumage costumes, which are the
sensation of Paris. will adapt themselves
in modified form to everyday wear.
| Nine. Simone wears her golden head
dress over chiffon, which frames her
| face. The head dress comes well round
the head of either side, and is divided at
the forehead to give place to a coquettish
yellow beak and a black crest.
A pathetic double suicide has just oc-
| Cured in the Russian revolutionary col

The body of Nine Elizabeth Effron,
| daughter of NJ. Dournovo, former gov
ernor OF Moscow. and niece of the form
er minister of the interior, was found
hanging in her dining room in the Rue
du Lunain yesterday morning, and that
OF her son. Kostia. IA years old, hanged
by his leather belt in closet 1t APP
pears that the boy had been greatly dis
| tTessed by a punishment meted out to
him at his school, the Lycee Montaigne,
and apparently the mother committed
suicide on making the terrible discovery
that her son had put an end to his life.
Nine. Enron, who was Sc years of age,
was well known and very popular in the
colony. Since 30 years, when she was
quite young, she had taken a prominent
part in the movement that was just be-
ginning. In 1906 her son Pierre, who Is
at this moment i'll, was arrested and con-
demned to death, but succeeded in effect
ing his escape. Nine. Effron was ar
rested at the same time, but was re-
leased on 5000 and came TO Paris with
