terly demoralYzing and opposed to al
 that contributes to domestic happi
 T ness.
 American women take a mucf
 greater risk in marrying men of con-
 tinental Europe than men of Great
 Britain, whose estimate of women is | that we should resent seeing our
 women and their millions going in marriage to men of nations where the | status of wives and of women in gen l eral is much inferior to that of our lTcountry." | Very little hope is entertained by | the police and secret service agents of | the Russian government, who have | been securing New York for the last l few weeks in search of the missing I Countess de Lacy; wife of the Rus- 1 sian nobleman, recently sentenced to a Siberian prison for life for conspir- ! ing to bring about the death of a score of persons in St. Petersburg Thruogh the death of her aunt, Mime. de Lazari, the Countess, who fled from Russia to escape being sent to mad house by her father, General Boturlin, has been left $1O,000,OOO.
 Efforts to locate her in Europe hav- ing failed, it was concluded she had c. 5, she has contrived to cover her tracks so cleverly that no tracec of her has been found, although every corner of
 the city to which she might venture
 for refuge has been visited in vain.
 Interest in the search for her has
 been unusually keen because of the
 extraordinary character of the crimes
 of which her husband was convicted.
 Moving in the best society of St.
 Petersburg and a welcome guest at
 the Czar's court, Count de Lacy. con-
 ceiving that he could secure possession
 of large and valuable estates held by
 the relatives of his wife by expediting
 their deaths, was charged with em-
 ploying an elderly physician of some
 skill, to innocIuate them with cholera
 microbes. In this way he was ac-
 cused with doing away with the
 Boturlin. and with attempts on the life of her father, General Boturlin,
 and her aunt, Mime. de Lazari.
 The old General persisted | in the belief that his daughter had assisted In the plot, though she was not di- rectly accused at the trial After | the conviction her family spurned her. The old aunt, Mime. de Lazari, who had been a mother to her, moved to Paris to escape ffom the scandal af- 1 ter turning her niece adrift
 Practically penniless disowned by her relatives, denied by her former intimate friends, the countess was re- ported to have gone out of her mind. Her father ordered provision for her removal to a private sanitarium, but when his agents began a search for her they were unable to find any trace of her. Subsequently they were advised she had fled to America.
 Whoever invented that yarn tele- sraphed from the Pacific Coast, the other day quoting the Rev. pr. Charles Aked, as saying that New York is spiritually cold and it's inhabitants as chilly as their citys winter weather, down on the head of that lnown divine without intending it, he bottled up wrath of the city's pr.
