STRANGE STORY IS
 RELATED BY DEPUTY

Paris. January 20-(special.)-str indeed is the story of an alleged attempt at bribery, which fig related by a deputy who has reported the matter to the mn- istry of justice.
 He says that a magistrate who was being removed to another post which was not to his liking asked him to intereede in his behalf This the deputy promised to do Great was his disgust when. on the following day, the magistrate called and left an envelope containing s2o0 for him.
 He at once wrote to the magistrate, giving his frank opinion Of his conduct, and at the same time he telephoned to the ministry of justice. to which he has sent the banknotes. NJ. Cruppi, the min ister of justice informed his colleague of the affair when they met in council. and the result Is an inquiry into the matter.
 On the other hand. the magistrate denies that he sent any money to the deputy. He says that he has several lawsuits hand and that the sums which he may have paid to barristers who are members of parliament were simply the necessary instalments for expenses. and had no other significance. It looks as if the dep uty had been rather nasty In concluding that the thousand francs was intended bribe

 Telegrams from Orvioto report that the Countess Cahen, a reputed miltoRairessr whose husband was captured by brigands in October and released after paying a ransom of 1500 lire. has been found fin the Allerona wood. Her mysterious disappear anee in the wood was reported in teis- gram to the tribuna and it was suggested that she had been captured by brigands. The latter. it is supposed, desired revenge because the count, after his release, de- nounced them to the police.
 The Countess was found in an uncon- scious condition by Lieutenant Garaliniert at 10 o'clock at night. It is stated that she will recover from her injuries.

pity for the suffering etc.-the religion of the home, the creed of science
 In other words. he blasphemed Christ, who taught all these things with infinite wisdom: and sought to make himself kind of a religious guide to the world. The attempt is pitiful. He certainly did try to tear down Christianity and offered nothing in its place any way comparable to 1t.
 Were his teachings inimical to law and morality?
 Ii, goes without saying that when you destroy mans belief in the future, you take away one of the greatest in- centives to moral living.
 A few years ago MT, Pratt. editor of The Wall Street Journal, had this to say in an editorial:
 When men lose faith in God and in future life, commerce becomes unsta- ble and unreliable, and the business word begins to tremble on it's founda- tions. Whatsoever may be a mans own personal beliefs. yet there is no one who does not prefer to do business with a person who really believes In a future life"
 There's a reason.
 Did he endeavor to destroy the Hope of lmmortality?" Whether such was his intention or not, his life and teachings have that effect.
 
 ton city hotel when a United States sen- ator coming in said: MT. Ingersol, saw sad thing moment ago 1 saw a man struggling across the crowded street on crutches. and I saw another man knock his crutohes from under him."
 Ingersoll rose with fingers twitching and eyes flashing and said: q should like 10 see that man and punish him.
 The senator placed his hand on the in- f'dels shoulder and said: MT. lngersoll, that is what you have been trying to do for years. robbing the cripple of crutches taking away the sup port of the weak, and crushing hope in the human heart" lngersoll's doctrine invariably broke coWn when he stood by the open grave There he showed the white feather. He realized the need of the Christ whom he tired to discard. Al the grave of his brother, he said: From the voiceless lips of the unreplying dead, there comes no word; but in the night of death hone sees star, and listening love can hear the rustic of wing" l And at the funeral of a child. we cannot say that death is not a good We do not know whether the grave is the end of this life or the door ol another, or whether the night here is not somewhere else dawn we too have our religion and it is; l this: ~ ' Help for the living and hope for the l dead"

lures have been no novelty this is the first time fighting men have been enabled to see their loved ones as they appear at home.
 A quaint message was received from a special correspondent at Viterbo. where the Camorra trial, which began in March last. is still nominally in progress,
 "The trial of the Camorra leaders has. virtually collapsed. Witnesses no longer appear in answer to their summonses. They are, as d matter of fact, undlscov- erable. The jurors are protesting enei- getically against repeated delays. They t"vo told the president of the court that they require no further enlightenment,
 asked that the case may be closed. But even should their request by any chance be acceded to, there must still be delay, for the public prosecutor has intimated that his closing speech will probably occupy a fortnight in delivery, and the other legal gentlemen contem- plate similar diseoursiveness.
 "rhese intimations have reused the wrath of the jurymen to high pitch and they now threaten a general strike"
 The Duchess dAosta, who has arrived in Naples from Tripoli with 150 wounded soldiers of whom she has been charge, has had her hands so badly burned by the use of chemicals necessitated by her du- ties at operations and in dressing wounds that at the moment she. too, is in the hands of the surgeons.
 On all sides her royal highness has been pronounced a most skillful and indefatiga- ble nurse. She works principally with the Sisters of Charity. and 1t is a secret that were she free. she would wish to be one

 Beginning with the "frontispiece. the Rletveldrche Toren, delft from A paintfnc by Trans Walden, now owned bv tho aatnor, to the very last chapter of the book, there is never a dull moment. The clever, entertaining style that "Ths Spell of Holand' is written in conveys a remarkable amount of observation bv its author and the new and refreshing view point from which everything Is seen is not only decidedly bright and breezy. hut highly instructive.
 The authors wife who has as kee- sense or humor as he has, adds no little tf, the various aspects presented and Hitting from one to another in the Dutch Cocknev with these clever travellers one hears anG sees all sorts of things and has expe- riences far different from the beaten patn of travellers, who see 1t al a bird s-eye glance.
 The Dutch country abounds in interest ing situations and the comments of Mr. Stevenson are timely and spicy.
 MT, Stevenson takes up various phasc- of Dutch life. For instance the smoking in the trains and the pronunciation of Dutch names; the prices of things in Hol- land as compared to the same things ir America, and other topics.
 Particularly interesting is the disserta ton on Dutch women. and their dress and the hub-bub created by "Betty's" un- usual appearance to them until she donned her rain coat, plain and simple in style
 Dutch Art" occupies an important place in the narrative as well as the "begging' habits of the Dutch ehildrer and in fact every phase of Dutch life customs and manners has been touched upon with an artistic appreciation by Mr. Stevenson

 True, the hero, Wallace Edson. from which the book derives it's name ..Vallv..'' being an abbreviation of his Christian name. Is 'ne'er do we'll" but he gives up drinking and gambling in order to win the heart and hand Of a very wealthy and attractive young widow.
 One thing he doesn't give up. however is his awful habit of telling lies. which verihes the old adage. Once a liar all ways liar. for even when the Hove chase Is the swiftest. if he thinks Iviup will serve his purpose he promptly does if with no qualms of conscience to hinder him.
 You can't help liking "Wally." however. because he enlists the sympathy of the reader in spite of his outrageous lack of veracity which is employed in bringing to denoument the romance of a young engineer and the daughter of a wealthy and arrogant mine owner.
 The story Is written in highly enter taining manner and reaches a conveu tional ending all too soon for those who are deep into its pages.
