Un- H the name of Savine he held a dPr li( ssion in the Russian Imperial COl1l !d He was of an excellent fam vh’nnrl had a considerable fortune. \t one time he seemed to be on the ■j to high honors. He fought gal [ t! 7 in the war of 1876 between ia and Turkey and received three lands at Plevna. After the war, loiterer, he fe into evil wa y s - He ame entangled in Nihilistic plots nd " I, e took to gambling. Some •hereabout ISBO his entire fortune was dissipated, and he was obliged to res ign from the army. With the equipment of a handsome presence, an unusually complete edu ion and a wide and influential ac quaintance, he started for Paris and h?an his career as a swindler. His apartments became the headquarters for the most reckless gamblers of the capital and Savine was successful in clucking them. Soon afterward, he worked his way into the secret diplo matic service of four Governments at the same time, selling the military secrets of the each to the other three. About this time he married Mile. Ciemence Vervoort. This lady ap plied for a divorce from him in 1902 on the ground that he had deceived her at the time of their marriage by pretending to be the Count de Tou louse-Lautrec. Tire French courts upheld the plea, and the French scions of the old house of Toulouse- Lautrec indignantly repudiated Sa ▼in a . He, however, insists with an earnestness that is not simulated that he is the head of the Prussian branch ot the family, which was established at the time of the French Revolution. Driven from Paris at last, Savine made his way to. Bulgaria just after the deposition of Prince Alexander, when Stambuloff was ruling the coun try as dictator. With a beautiful and clever woman named Madeleine he had been doing several cities of Europe, including Monte Carlo, and in 18S6 he found himself with her ill Venice. According to his own story of the events which followed, Savine became friendly with Don Carlos, the Spanish pretender, and the latter sug gested that Savine make a try for the Bulgarian throne. With a retinue wardrobed through the kindness of Don Carlos, Savine and Madeleine started for Sofia, and won arrangements were made with Stambuloff for the carrying out of Savine’s desires.

Of Savine and Madeleine, Stambuloff said in his memoirs: “There was in Europe at one time an association much more dreadful than that of the Thirteen celebrated by Balzac, for the Sbcret of it was never discovered, and it was com posed entirely of two individuals, a man and a woman. “imagine two beings full of genius, witty to the tips of their fingernails, knowing everything, able to describe everything, disabused from every thing. believing in nothing, having neither God nor soul nor conscience, learning, speaking all languages, young in spite of Methuselah’s ex perience. “Suppose that, united by an in comparable admiration, these two beings should have given themselves to each other unreservedly, and you will comprehend what must have been the invincible strength of these two accomplices. ” The Russians having got hold of Savine, made short work of sending him to He served a term at hard labor at Tomsk and at its close in 188 4 was sent to Vladivostok as a colonist. Thence he escaped into Korea and took ship for San Fran cisco. where he posed as a contractor for the Trans-Siberian Railroad. In. 1895 he beat his way to Chicago, and there he soon arrested for larceny. He wriggled out .of that and came to New York, wiiere he was ar rested. charged with a Tenderloin cabby. The Russian Con sul-General made a statement in which he denounced the “count” as an imposter, and the count challenged the Consul-General to a duel as soon as he should be released. He was acquitted in General Ses sions. The Consul-General laughed at his challenge and in 1900 he was again arrested in Chicago on a charge of circulating $500,000 worth of fraudulent Cuban war bonds. His wife was with him at the time. The arrest was made at the request of the Canadian police. He was taken to Montreal and sentenced to five years in a penitentiary. Ke was released on parole, swindled a number of people by an other stock and bond deal and was nabbed in New York in December, 1901. just as he was taking a steamer for France. He had no ticket, and only S3B in his clothes when arrested. His wife had returned to France while he was in the Canadian peniten tiary. The Canadian Government had had enough of him and didn’t apply for his extradition, so he was re leased. In 1903 he was arrested in Lisbon and again turned over to the Russian authorities, against the protest of Germany, which wanted him for a number of frauds in that country. He was started off for Siberia again for writing letters to various people from the Emperor William down, es caped, and in 1905 was arrested at Bremen and taken back to Russia. At this time he had $50,000 in his possession. He was sent to Siberia for a third time, but again escaped. Savine attributes the greater part of his troubles with the police of Europe and America to persecution on the part of Russian agents because of his attempt to be chosen Prince of Bulgaria.—New York Sun. The Supreme Court of Maine re cently ruled that that State may law fully restrict the clearing of privately owned forest land if the public would be injured by such clearing. Louis iana’s proposed law goes still further in the "same direction and follows the lines of the opinion rendered by the Maine Supreme Court. It is worthy of note that the two States which are first to take this advanced stand in forest protection are 1500 miles anart and have forests not at all alik£ in character, different soils, climates with few points in common, crops of wholly different kinds, geography and topography of opposite extremes, yet each realizes the immense importance of its forests and how essential their protection is to the continued pros perity of its people. Moose Ducked the Hunters. Premier Hazen, who returned home after a canoeing trip on the Tobique River with Surveyor-General Grimmer and members of their fami lies, tells an exciting moose story. One night Mr. Grimmer, Miss Grimmer, Miss Hazen and two guides were in a canoe w r ith a lantern pad dling around to catch sight of a moose. Jii the shallow water they passed a big bull. The light was so placed that he could not see the ca noe. Some one changed the position of the lantern, and it flashed in the animal’s eye. Frightened, it sprang for shore, with the result that its fore feet landed in the canoe and the moose brushed against the Surveyor- General. Another hound and the moose w r as over them and the canoe sank with all hands in the water. It was shallow, so there was nothing worse than a ducking.—St. John Cor respondence Toronto Globe.
