Dcatli of Mrs. James Teller.

A long and beautiful life came to &
peaceful close in New Orleans at 1:3(
i O'Clock Thursday night when the spirit oil
Mrs. james Teller, nee A]vine Won Lotten
left lis mortal casket. Mrs. Teller had
been seriously ill for some time past, and
although every resource known to medical
scie.Ice was resorted to in the hope of re-
storing her health, the effort proved I'M
aVailing, and after months of suffering,
which she bore with true Christian forti-
lfude and unfailing patience, her gentle
/ soul passed from this world into that
bourne from whence no traveller returns.
| The funeral took place in New Orleans
at 1890 o'clock this morning, with ser
vices at St. Alphonsus Church. The in
terment was private.
Mrs. Teller was for many years res
ident of this parish, her husband, the late
James Teller, having owned and cultivated
the Riverside and ViaIa plantations in the
fourth ward. Among the relatives be-
reaved by her demise are an adopted
daughter, Mrs. John Nolan. of New Or
leans; two nepheWs, Messrs. James and
Edward Won Lotten; two nieces, Misses
Alviae and Magda Won Lotten. and one
grand-niece, Miss Hilda Park, all Of this
city.
Mrs. Teller was woman of unusual in
tellectual attachments, attractive person
atty and charitable inclination, whose
pure life and manifold virtues will ever
be to her relatives and friends heritage
beyond price. Words are lacking with
which to fifty express QUE profound regret
at the passing away of this noble woman
or to adequately convey to her loved ones
the sympathy which their great sorrow
arouses. May her beautiful soul repose in
eternal peace, and their grief find solace
in the thought that she is beyond the
reach Of pain and sorrow-"not lost, but
gone before. Z

PARIS, May &c. 1911
There was a poignant scene at Aisne
Assizes during the trial of Nine. Pauline
Devoisins. a strikingly beautiful Italian
woman. for the murder Of girl mar; ed
Emilia Stephani.
The Devoisins lived at Pisa, but their
married happiness was ruined by the
husbands infatuation for Emilia Ste.
phani, the daughter Of a factory foreman
whom the wife had befriended. In vain
did Nine. Devoisins try to make her hus-
band. who was eighteen years her senior.
give up the girl. A kind OF reconciliation
took place. but Nine. DevOisins learned
that her rival was living at Tergnier and
that her husband used to go and see her
every evening.
The wife at last went to Tcrgnier and
shot the girl. At her trial it was her
husband who pleaded for her ac.;Iittal.
The small, pale man, who recounted the
tragedy in a broken voice, said: Il am
the sole culprit. There are two victims
this one here" and he timidly designat-
ed his wife, who sat weeping in the
dock. 'and the poor little thing down
there"
The jury brought il verdict of not
guilty on all counts and Nine. Devoisins
was acquitted.

coined on His Way to CAPITAL.

TORREON. Mexico, June 5.-The train

a huge demonstration.
Counting the throngs gathered at vari-
Gus stations en- route, Senior Madero ad-

special train. Instead of proceeding di-
rectly last night to Zacatecas, the train

later was sidetracked for the night.
