ORLEANS LOSES HOPE

hcld OF those who still retain loyalty
TO a king of France is found among
the aristocracy, but even there the
sentiment is not nearly as strong as it
was decade or even five years ago,
The Catholic church has always been
royalist in its tendencies. but since
the separation of church and state this
influence is not as far-reaching as it
was.
Many officers in the French army
and perhaps the majority of those
holding. highest rank in the navy be-
long to the old nobility or aristocracy.
but the new generation is quickly
crowding these representatives of the
ancient life of France into the back
ground In spite of the Socialists eff
forts to decry militarism, the army is
intensely loyal to the republic.
In word, the old ghost, the restora
tion of the monarchy, seems to be laid
definitely. Therefore the letter of the
Duke of Orleans. completely changing
his past plans, awakens interest only

company for $4,000 rubles The fol-
lowing year a very sick man present
ed himself at the Pskof office of the
company, far away from where the
policy was taken out. and duly paid
the premium He showed all the
passport identification documents of
Poplavsky Soon the sick man, whose
true name was Ivan Fediounin. died,
and Poplavsky. who had taken the
others identity. drew the insurance
policy. Still keeping Fediounin's name
he went to NarVa and in a year had
spent the money. Then in 1901 he
insured as Fediounin with the New
York Life for $4,000 rubles and in the
following year he took a. man from
the hospital who was incurably i'll and
equipped him with all the Feriounin
papers. The dying man was installed
in the apartment of Poplavsky's
brother. where very soon he died His
real name is so far unknown, but he
was buried as Fediounin and once
again Poplavsky got the insurance
money.

Then PopIavsky married a young
woman named Smurnoff and forthwith
insured her with the Kertch company
for 1900 rubes. Soon he found a fe-
male patient in one of the St. Peters
burg hospitals whose case was hope
less. He was able to get her furnished
with his wife's civic papers, and when
she died he collected his wife's insur-
ance money She also was buried in
the name of Fediounin. Then he set
tied in st. Petersburg as Boleslav
Kupinsky and opened a timber busi-
ness. He tried to insure with the Hell
sinsfors company for $4,000 rubles, as
he now admits, intending to repeat
the swindle that had so far succeeded.
But by this time he was being
watched.
The police will eXhume his and his
wife's doubles to try and learn how
they died. They believe that he had
