FAMOUS SWINDLER
 IS CAUGHT AT NICE

Berlin, May 13.-( -(Special)-It is an- nounced that one of the most dangerous international swindlers, Count Ostrovsky, has been arrested at Nice. This man is well known to the Berlin police as the perpetrator of a series of daring robberies in various continental hotels.
 He was famous for a while as the Black Ghost from the Kaiserhef, on ac- count of the melodramatic manner m which he went to work in the Berli hotel of this name. It was his custoi to ingratiate himself with ladies vii were in evident possession of jewelry.
 At night he divested himself of his or dinary clothing, and arrayed himself in suit of black tights With master key he opened the rooms of his victims and made clean sweep of all the Jew elry within reach. It vas proved that in some cases, ladies who were wakened and saw this ghost" in their rooms were too mortified to scream, and for quite a long while OstrovslSy managed to escape.
 He is undoubtedly a count. born with a large Astate in Russia. He ruined him. self by play in various European capi- tals, and taking to theft, and card-sharlk- ing, he became well known in Berlin Paris, Nice and London.
 In Nice he called himself Count Cram koff His biggest haul here was jewelry valued at e5000 a theft for which he suffered a prolonged period of imprison- ment

 Herr George Gothein, radical member of the reichstag, says in an article in the "Tageblatt that Her Von Bethnann- Hollweg's inability to find a formula for the Imitation of armaments simple dis plays his ignorance of the subject. No one, declares the writer, expects him to determine exactly how many capital ships, soldiers, and sailors each country shall have, but 1t would be possible to limit by International agreement the an nual military and naval expenditure which cannot be kept secret. Therefore the only formula required to be found by
 Herr Won Bethmann Hollweg's interna- tional areopagus is one defining the exact expenditure which must be included in
 naval and military votes. There are plen- ty of honest men in all parlaments, says
 Herr Cothein, to prevent dishonorab1e and dangerous attempts by their governments to conceal armaments expenditure under other titles.

REMARKABLE STORY
 OF A DOUBLE LIFE

Paris. May 13.-(Special.)-A remarkable story of a double life has been disclosed bv the arrest of fashionable attired lady in a shop in the Place de la Republfqae.
 Descending from luxurious motor car, the Baroness Rosa de Chastot. as sine an- nounced herself to the manager of the shop, visited each department, purchasing variety of lace and leather goods and 1ewelry. As she was about to leave the last named department a quietly dressed man stepped LID to her and remarked, Pardon, madame, but you have ring wofth e20 adhering to the palm of your right hand" and seizing the baronesses' hand he, is said to have disclosed a soil taire diamond ring adhering to the GUS toner's hand by tiny drop of glue.
 Stoutly protesting the baroness was taken into custody. On being searched she was, it is alleged found to have a large quantity of valuable lace and hand- bags in her possession. At the police sta tion the prisoner continued to declare her self baroness by birth. and gave her address as private mansion in the most fashionable quarter of Paris.
 The police inquiries show the baroness to have maintained two establishments. She slept and brealxfaste6 at a modest apartment in the Rue de Charonne, where she resided under the name of Helen Mounier, describing herself as a modiste. Here she lived a most retired life with her little daughter. Every morning the baroness sent her daughter to a creche and then, it is said. went to another flat, rented by her near the Care St Isazare. Here it is said she discarded her milliner.s coat and skirt and assumed the role of the elegant baroness, wearing the most costly dresses and making herself up to look the part. At an appointed hour motor car which she hired by the day drove her the round of the shops, The police be- lieve her to be the author of numerous thefts at several large shops.

The visit of King Peter of Servia to Budapest to pay his respects to old Elm peror Francis Joseph has been greeted all over the dual monarchy with expressions +of the greatest satisfaction, not because the people of Austria hold any higher opinIon of the man who ascended to a bloodstained throne without ever proving himself innocent in regard to the assassi- nation of his predecessor, but because the visit is regarded as the disappearance of the last vestige of the Bosnian quarrel which, at one time.> threatened the peace of Europe, and as the final acknowledge ment of the victory of the Austrian poll cy. Magnanimously 1t is now conceded that the fault has not been entirely on the side of Servia. Austria, too has done her share by her severe Agrarian protec- tionist measures, which are in so pro- nounced contradiction to her former poli- cy of economic conquest. However, the Servian commercial treaty is now safe
