A gang of noble" burglars who have made several large hauls have just fallen into the hands of the police.
 Their last outrage was raid on the Chateau de Ia Rochecatin, in the Marne-et-Loire. The chateau Is oc- cupied by the Comtesse de la Morinere de la Rochecantin, who was reused in the morning by noises in the adjoin- ing room. The countess entered the room, but before she could give the alarm one of the burglars placed his hand on her mouth and, throwing her, gagged and bound her. She made a desperate effort to shout out, but the burglar effectively prevented her.
 Then the thieves explored the cha teau at leisure. Ferreting out the place where the countess kept her se- curities. they made off with bearer share certificates worth s4S00.
 The subsequent arrest of three men and a woman In a wood at Magonry reads very much like a Robin Hood romance.
 Concerning the crime the robbers said that two of their number with masks over their faces. entered al night, whilst the leader kept watch outside. The coup was, however, spoilt by the Comtesse de Rochecantin, who awoke. They had time to throw blanket over her and to fasten har in the bed. The story that they had se- cured s15,OO worth of booty, they declared, was absurd They had ob- tained no booty whatever and found themselves only in the possession of a receipt of shares to bearer for that attempt.

JACK THE CLIPPER
 IS BUSY AGAIN Robs Young Gi-ls in Streets of Paris of Their Presses HOBBLE SKIRT RAGE Takes the Place of the old Time Sack Race at n Benefit Event for
 Music Hall Pension
 Fund
MOBILE SKIRT RACE

Paris. October s.-(special )-The city is in sense undergoing a milo reign of terror because of the aspir- ations of Monsieur Jack the Clipper, whose mania is robbing pretty young women and girls of their tresses. He is said to be an Englishman of wealth. He has been here for months and he seems to be well supplied with money. Hundreds of women have seen him and many have suffered at his hands but he has managed to dodge the po- lice most successfully.
 The man has frequented the cafes Of Montmartre and offered women he en- countered large sums If they would sell him their hair. When asked what he proposed to do with 1t he replied that it was for a mattress. If a wom- an refused to sell her hair he asked her to dine with him and after hav- in ggiven her a narcotic in wine cut off her hair while she was unconscious. That is the story told by a number of women and there is good reason for crediting it.
 The commonplace sack race was su- perseded by a "hobble skirt" race at the annual sports of the Paris music hall artistes, which took place In be- half of the music hall pensions fund.
 There was wild hilarity at the at tempts of the young women to cover the 200 yards of the course. The win ner was Mile. Ymer. This race was followed by a similar one run by the artistes of the Moulin Rouge in the exaggeratedly "hobbled" skirts in which they appear in a revue" at that establishment. The winner, Mile. Sylva, succeeded in covering tho course in l minutes 4-5 seconds.
 sensational tragedy was enacted outside the booking office of the Northern Rail way station before large crowd as the result of which a young man vas killed, woman seriously wounded, and the alleged murderer is in the hands of the police. All the parties were Italians living in Glag- gow.
 The murder was the sequel to the jealousy of a confectioner named Fac enda, who heard that his wife had been seen In company with another Italian named Vacca, also a confec- tioner The infuriated husban6 came here for three days; he tramped the streets until he met the couple to- gether at the railway station, when he shot them.

 Marriage Is most serious proposition Tn this country. A citizen of this city who recently left the military service writes to newspaper saying he had unsuccess- fully been trying to get married for three years. French marriage law Is very wig orous. If the prospective bridegroom had not lived more than six months at his address he must get a certificate signed oy the landlord and concierge of every noEe where he has lived previously till he gets back to one where he did live for six months.. Birth certificates are re- quired and also the written consent of parents. AS no paper must bear a date more than two months old it happens that the marriage must be postponed to get the papers renewed. The man who has been foiled for three years once sue eeeded in getting all his papers correct when he was called up for his periodical term of military service. He says he will 70 to the United States if he is further interrupted
