Catastrophes Promised
America. Radical Changes
in Fashions Will Take
Place, Says Soothsayer.
PARIS.—Our most noted propliat
ess, Madame de Thebes, who has made
a fortune by fortune-telling, has just
published her prophesies for 1910.
She draws her wisdom from the stars,
a science so old, that the Chinese were
profoundly versed In it, while our an
cestors were still swineherds.
Madame de Thebes Informs us that
1910 will be a year of fire. Let me
quote our astrologist technically:
“The coming year will see French
alliances very much modified. Our
financial difficulties with Russia will
be increased. Our vintage will be
late. We shall become a nation of
water-drinkers, losing at the same
time some of our natural and spirit
ual gaiety.
“In America there will be catastro
phe on land and cataclysms on sea.
Volcanic eruptions will burst forth in
unexpected quarters. England will
have to grapple with the question of
money distributed without equity. A
revolutionary outburst will follow.
Prussia and Spain will have Internal
troubles. The maps of Russia and
Belgium will Jje redrawn. Unheeded
grumblings will be heard from the
Balkan states and preparations for the
final conflict will go on.”
“What about our beloved Paris?” I
asked the soothsayer.
“French fashions will swung back
wards. Small discreet hats will re
place the edifices that make our wom
en look like mushrooms. The hair
will be dressed in the form of a dia
dem. Ruffles will adorn dresses, and
the sheath costume will only be seen
in the windows of old clothes shops.
Lackeys will be be-wigged and the
styles of the old regime will once
more be revived.”
As I was about to bring the se
ance to a cifee, Madame de Thebes
told me that the lucky stone for 1910
will be burnt topaz. Above all she
warns ladies against wearing opals.
| She claims the opal invariably brings
bad luck.
The most fortunate color for the
• new year is amber and gold. Madame
I de Thebes may, like the soothsayer
|of ancient Rome, wink when she meets
| one of her fellows In the street, but
| here in Paris we have great faith in
I her, and in her forecasts.
ROBBEBB KILLED
FORSAKEN WOMAN
PARIS.—A murder of a particu
larly revolting cnaracter has been
committed at the Hunandieres, near
Le Mans, the victim being an old wo
man who lived in a thatched cottage
not far from the aviation ground used
by Mr. Wilbur Wright. Mme. Sidonie
Ilavaz was seventy-seven years of age.
She eked out a securty existence on
an allowance of 20 francs, which she
received from ihe Assistance Pub
lique. She lived alone, and had no
one to talk to except her pet rabbits.
On Friday morning when she woke
up, she discovered that five of her
rabbits were stolen. She reported
her loss to her nearest neighbors, and
proceeded to Le Mans to receive her
i monthly pension of 20 francs.
In the evening the robbers return
led to the thatched cottage. “Mere
i Bumeau,” as she was call a, had not re>-
j tired to rest. She heard the thieves
trying to force her door. Seizing a
hayfork, she quietly turned the key
in the lock and opened the door. The
•robbers set upon her. One of them
felled her in the head with a bludgeon
several times. The old woman sank
ion the floor, never to rise again.
The thieves ransacked the place, but
the whole of their booty consisted of
the two remaining rabbits and the 20
francs. Yesterday morning, as “Mere
Bumeau’’ was not seen, neighbors en
tered the cottage. They found her
; lying in a pool of blood with her head
jin hor hands.
I The police were early on the scene.
There is as yet no cine to the mur
derers. but it is believed that they
are accomplices of the youthful crim
inals who murdered an old man at the
Terre Ruge some time ago.
WORKMEN DISCOVER
UNDERGROUND HOUSE
PARIS.—News came from Madrid

covery of Ronda, in Andalusia. On
an estate purchased by a wealthy
A merican named Perin several years
'ago, and known to the inhabitants of
| Ronda as the “Castle of the Moorish
iKing.” While workmen were execut
ing repairs they discovered some rich
Moorish decorations on the walls, be
sides a marvelous ceiling and some
sculptured pillars, similar to those in
the mosque at Cordova.
Further excavations were made be
neath the floor resulting in the discov
ery of a complete underground house,
with long corridors and chambers
dating back to the epoch of the Moor
ish design, containing large quantities
of gold and silver.
The Spanish government has sent
a special commissioner to Ronda to
make a report on the discoveries.

PARIS LADIES MISS
CREEK KINGS VISIT
PARIS. —King George of Greece,
known among our fair ladies as “The
Squire of Dames” for the first time
In a quarter of a century has not paid
us his annual visit. No wonder the
ladies refuse to be comforted. The
spirit of unrest is abroad in his own
country and King George has had to
stop at home to keep his crumbling
throne from toppling over entirely.
For many years past at about the
same date and almost the same hour
the following little announcement has
appeared In our newspapers:
“On next Wednesday the 25th inst,.
his majesty, the King of Greece, will
arrive direct from Athens at Aix-les
Ruins. The municipality of our beau
tiful resort Is preparing special fetes
In his honor.”
i On the day following the publica
tion of this discreet notice, one reads
in the society columns of our daily
papers a long list as follows:
Mile. Albertine has left for Ais-los-
Rains. Madame la Comtesse de Gen
lis has gone to Aix-les-Bains. jAnd
so on down the list, which is made up
of titled and untitled society women;
some young, some pretty, a majority
witty if not wise, and one and all
magnificently gowned.
Among this galaxy of beauties one
not frequently finds om v or two Amer
icans. attracted by (he curiosity of
meeting and knowing royalty. Every
; one of these fashionables yearn for
i royal recognition, even if it only
comes in the form of a nod or a smile.
This year the fair dames bemoan
I their absent “Squire.” Aix-les-Bains
jis also mourning. Even the presence
of Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt has not
(made up for the absence of the spend
! thrift king.
SUFFRAGETTES
WILL FIGHT HARO
Woman’s Freedom League
Has Formulated Cam
paign For Coming Elec
tion in England.
LONDON —The suffragettes are
preparing for a great campaign dur
ing the coming general election. Al
though their “cause” is more or less
a forlorn hope, they are not giving
up, but are arranging to continue the
work with as much vigor as they have
used in the various by-elections since
•the movement began.
The Women’s Freedom League, one
of the “militant” organizations, has
formulated its plants of campaign,
and issued to its members instructions
as to tactics. The main idea is that
suragettes aro “not to help candidates
of any party, but to oppose all that
ore not in favor of votes for women.”
The following are some of the de
tailed instructions:
All members of the retiring cabinet,
are to be opposed as they have had
the opportunity to do justice to wom
en. and have refused to use it.
All well I nown antl-suffragettes, be
opposed Irrespective of party.
All candidates for Parliament to be
interview or written to, and tlietr in
tentions in regard to women’s suf
frage obtained in writing over their
own signatures.
If both candidates are in favor of
women’s suffrage, then carry on a mil
itant propoganda campaign to pro
test In every possible way against any
government being elected without the
concent of women.
Attend political meetings to ques
tion the candidates at question time.
Also get men sympathizers to do this.
If women are excluded from the meet
ing, hold protest meetings as near as
possible.
On polling day arrange for attend
ance at every polling b6oth all day If
possible. Women taxpayers should
take their schedule of taxes and
should say to voters: “I also pay
taxes, don't you think I ought to
vote?” If a well known “Anti” Is a
candidate, then say: "Keep out; he Is
a enemy of women’s freedom.” If the
candidate supports women suffrage,
say, “Votes for Women,” no member
of Parliament ought to be elected
without the consent of women,” and
similar home truths.
DENOUNCES ELECTORS
SYSTEM OF IDE FRENCH
Ex-President M. Lori bet
Declares it is Demoral
izing and Deformed.
PARIS.—Ex-President M. Loubet ha*
excited much Interest, by a recent speech
on the electoral system of France now
In vogue.
He strongly denounces the system hh
demoralizing and deformed. Tib says the
people in Parts have no idea of the state
of morals which this system has brought
about, of the tyrannies which It has cre
ated, or of the meCTTods of public oppres
sion which It has installed.
The late president of the republic has
had no such experience, and is so highly
respected that his condemnation of the
electoral system has met with general
approval by the people.
One method of the system which he
strongly condemns Is the pamphlet
which Is Issued by the government after
each election, showing how each voter
has voted. Py simply loklng over this
pamphlet the successful candidate can
always tell who voted against him, and is
thus enabled to subject these voters to all
forms of Injustice when the opportunity
presents itself.
M. Loubet says that after a certain
part of the country has had great rain
or hail storms, which destroy the crops,
etc,, there is a compensation mode to
the owners for relief. In this case, hi
bays, only those who have voted for the

Thus does M. Loubet rleseribo the po
litical situation of France arising from ItH
imperfect electoral system. Tie favors a

like that of the United States.

Reincarnation Belief Used
As Defense in Murder Trial
TOKIO.—The old Oriental belief in
reincarnation was used as a defence
by a woman named Yasu and her
lover Yataro, accused of murdering
the woman’s husband, Klohigoro. The
woman made a remarkable speech to
the Judge, In whleh she explained her
motive for killing her husband.
“Listen with your whole-Houled at
tention,” she began, “lest you should
miss my words and ask me lo speak
again, which I will never do. 1 had
a very profound motive In killing my
