GRAND DUCHESS MARIE.

Most beautiful of the princesses of the house of Romanoff is the Grand Duchess Marie, a cousin of the ex- Emperor, and the daughter of his uncle, the Grand Duke Paul. The fair but frail Marie is the divorced wife of Prince Wilhelm of Sweden. and, at last reports, was expiating her sins by nursing wounded Russian soldiers. Grand Duchess Marie was born 27 years ago today, April 1s, 1890. Her mother, who was the Princess Alexandra of Greece, a sister of the present Greek king, died when she was an infant Marie was rear ed by the Czarina's sister, the Grand Duchess Sergius, her father, Grand Duke Paul, having been exiled from Russia by his imperial nephew be- cause of his marriage to a woman of non-royal blood. At IS the beauti- full Marie was married to Prince Will helm of Sweden. She did not love her lank and homely husband, and found life in Sweden Silly and stu pld," but relieved the monotony bv flrtat1ons. Eventually, she deserted her husband and infant son and fled to Paris, where she engaged in gay dissipations until the outbreak of the war. She was then permitted to re- turn to Russia on the condition that she become a nurse

Believe Russia Will

 Wood Pulp Exporter

Hull, England, April 1S.-Belef that Russia will become the worlds largest exporter of wood pulp for ma- king paper was expressed by M. Ghambashidze, honorary secretary or the Russo-British Chamber of Com merce, in an address to commercial men here in which he told how to overcome the difficulties incidental to Russian trade. He predicted that Russia would eventually utilize her vast forests for the manufacture Of wood pulp.
 Dealing with difficulties in devel- oping trade with Russia, M. Cham bashidze said Great Britain must not be satisfied with commercial travellers whose only equipment was a catalog and an interpreter. Germans acquir- ed other languages and were able to obtain trade. The young Englishman seeking trade would have to visit Russia, ascertain her conditions. and study her requirements.
 A large section of the trading com munity of Russia, he said, opposed giving preference to any sountEy. n

Two Famous Lawyers

The eighteenth of April is the birth day of two lawyers who have won in- ternational fame as champions of un- popular causes-Fernand Labori, the defender of Dreyfus, and Clarence S. Darrow, who has been counsel for Debs, Mover and Haywood, the Me- Namaras and other labor leaders ac- cused of crime. Maitre Labori, who died in Paris last month after a long illness, was born in. Rheims, fifty seven years ago, and MT. Darrow in Kinsman, O., sixty years ago today.
 M. Labori began his legal career in 1884, and early gained reputation as one of the ablest of French advo- cates. He gained international fame through his connection with the Zola and Dreyfus cases. When Zola made his fiery appeal in behalf of the un- happy prisoner of the Isle du Diable, and thus started a controversy which convulsed all France, M. Labori was engaged by the novelist as his chief counsel at his trial. Zola was con- victed and found refuge in France, but Labori and other continued the agitation for the opening. of the Dreyfus case. In 1894 Dreyfus was returned to France and Maitre Labori waged an earnest and eloquent legal warfare in his behalf. Soon after the beginning of the trial Labori was shot in the back on his way to the court, but he quickly recovered and went on with the ease. In spite of Labori's efforts and the vast amount of testimony he introduced tending to prove his clients innoncence, Drey- fus was again convicted, but with a recommendation to mercy. Dreyfus was soon afterwards pardoned, and Labori helped him in his efforts to rehabilitate his character, and was eventually successful. M. Labori's last important case was as the de- fender of Mme. Cai1laux, the slayer of M. Calmette, editor of The Figaro.

REVENGE OF A CARPENTER.

REVENGE OF A CARPENTER.
 A dastardly attempt was made early yesterday morning to blow up Oliver G. Jennings summer residence on the brow of Osborne Hill in Fairfield, but the attempt somewhat miscarried as the miscreant used dynamite instead of powder. The force of the explo- sion being downward and acting only against the foundations of the rear porch it shattered only two large pill lars and destroyed a number of panes of glass.
 The explosion occurred at 3:30 yes terday morning and the noise broke the slumbers of the surrounding coun- try. It was heard in this. city and as far away as Greenfield Hill. Jen- nings' residence has been under con- struction the last year and will be completed in about five weeks. The owner is New York and Fairfield millionaire and a Standard Oil mag nate. The officers of the law and John Dallas, superintendent of the estate has pretty well defined idea of how the explosion occurred, and who the miscreant was who caused it., They have no hesitancy in saying that the explosion was the result of spite and done by a discharged carpenter. MT. Dallas says the carpenter was dis missed some months ago for indiffer- ent work. He applied for work a few days ago and was refused. He has threatened to do something or other since he was discharged. MT. Dallas said he did not care to give the name of the person suspected, be- cause it might interfere with the worlA of the police who are trying to locate the man.
