Paris.-M. Hamard, chief of the Paris
detective service, has just finished an
investigation, an extraordinary case OF
cruelty, in which a Paris chemist is al
legged to have systematically illtreated
and sequestered his wife A complaint
was received at the prefecture that a
Nj. Jean Parat, proprietor of a chem
lists shop in the Rue de Vaugirard, was
subJecting his wife to treatment and a
form of dress which, while they may
have been tolerated at the time of the
Crusades, are nevertheless no longer
the fashion. NJ. Hamard, accompanied
by DR.. Socquet, the police medical ex-
pert, visited the shop in the Rue de
Vaugirard. They found Nine Parat
locked in a small room. A locksmith
was called in and the door broken open.
The woman was seated on chair, close
to the bed, with q baby of months in
her arms, while a 3-year-old child was
playing in the room. The woman was
chained to the chair by two chains,
which went thrice around her neck and
then communicated with a steel bit,
which was affixed to a wardrobe. The
other end of the chain was attached to
the bed and was secured with a COM
bination paddock to the rail of the bed

she was taken to the prefecture with
the chains around her, as it was i'm
possible to file them off there and then
without hurting her.
The Vaugirard district Of Paris is be-
ing terrorized by a young madman.
whose insanity takes a form similar to
that which made Jack the Ripper" no
torious in London. This Individual, in
stead Of selecting women as his prey,
makes night attacks on men and boys,
wounding them dangerously with a long
knife, So far this man has attacked
half a dozen people, two of whom lie in
the hospital in danger of their lives.
These are the last two cases, but the
first attacks of this kind we're reported
at the end of January. The maniac
would shadow schoolboys going home
late in the evening, or shop assistants,
and pounce upon them when they were
near the fortifications. Happily in each
case he succeeded only in cutting their
clothes and wounding them slightly.
Rome.-The Pope has appointed the
Rev. P. r. Heffron of the st. Paul sem
mary to be bishop of Winona, MINI.
Lucerne.-Summer visitors to Lu-
cerne this year will be able to view the
lake and mountains from an airship,
the Lucerne authorities having made
with the Astra company
of Paris to establish an aerial service
there on June l. Two airships of 1000
and 4,500 cubic metres, respectively, the
former to carry fifteen passengers and
the latter eight, will be ready on that
date, and will, it is hoped, made trips
from Lucerne.
Dublin.-Next to the famous BastiIe
there probably has been no better
known prison, especially among Irish
men the world over, than Kilmainham
Jail This famous place in the history
of Ireland's fight for liberty has been
closed for good. The historic "Kilmain-
ham treaty" entered into in 1882 be-
tween Gladstone and Parnell, who was
the Jail. The purport of the treaty..
or understanding, was that wide agra
rian reforms should be effected by the
government in ireland, the Irish leaders
in turn to exert themselves to slack
en- the agitation then raging. Parnell
and his fellow prisoners were released
from Kilmainham Jail. All Ireland was
to celebrate what was vir-
-ually great triumph for the Nation
