.ABS|NTHE F|END
MURDERS FOR
MONEY
Insane Desire for Drug
Causes Him to Kill for
Extra Money.

PARIS, Jan. 2.-Induced by an
insane desire for absinthe, a drug
to which he had become hopeless
victim, Leon Thabuis, keeper of a
ward in an insane asylum here, en-
gagged in a carnival of murders
among the inmates that he might
secure the extra franc that was al.
lowed him for extra work of caring
for each of the dead bodies, and
there is no doubt expressed here
now but that he must meet death
on the guillotine.
Thabuis was the keeper of an in
durable ward. For weeks before the
discovery of his crimes it was noted
by the asylum authorities that his
patients trembled in fear every
time he approached them.
The crime that resulted in the
discovery of his other atrocities
was the brutal murder of an old
man, who was hopeless idiot. He
was found to have been strangled
to death.
An investigation followed. 1t was
found that there had been a death
in Thabuis' ward every day for IL
days. The bodies of six patients
exhumed showed they had been
strangled.
Rules of the asylum allowed one
franc to the keeper of ward for
the extra work entailed by the
death of one of his charges. Tha.
buis, to buy his absinthe. had en-.

gained would sit up all night about

CATTLE DRIVING IS
RESUMED In
IRELAND
It Is a Manner of Protest
Against a New Land
Bill.

DUBLIN, Jan. 8.-The promised
winter campaign has begun, and
members of parliament and league
organizers are vying with one an
other in their denunciation of land
lordism and all it's works. AS a
protest apparently against the form
in which the land bill has become
an act, cattle driving has been re-
sumed all over the country. Within
few days, between 200 and 800
cattle were scattered over portions
of four counties. At GUNNER, Gal
way, 2 bullocks were cleared off a
large ranch and at Shindone, King S
county, % animals were driven sew
eral miles.
In Tipperary the hazel was piled

GUERILLA WAR IS
ENDED
Jap Forces Have Captured
Most Influential Insur-
gent Leader.

SHANGHAI, Jan. Sit is be-
lieved now that the guerilla war
is ended and that peace will reign
again between the Japanese and
the Corean insurgents, who have
been fighting almost necessarily for
more than a year.
According to a Seoul dispatch,
Japanese troops, under the COM
mand of Major Igarashi, recently
captured Choi Hai-sam, the most
Influential leader Of the insurgents
in south Corea.
During the ~ months to October
81 the Japanese troops had 976 en-
counters with the insurgents. Many
men have been killed on both sides
in that time and the warfare has
cost both much to maintain their
forces.

Peril From the Fire.

Every hairdresser in Paris admin

had insisted on her man doing his
work in her own room near n fire
that was burning in closed stove.

WINE FAMINE THREATENS FRANCE:

1t was an awful blunder for the
American women. A French per-
sons interior would be very much
shocked If plain water were ever,
by some horrible mistake, intro
duced. No flower-seller on the
street is too poor for wine. There's
many a laborer who can afford
nothing more than bread and ma

ertheless has his bottle of wine to
wash this down with.
A wine famine In France Is every
bit as serious as bread famine
