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 nt an interesting archaeological dis 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. i j CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY RATES Via. Central of Georgia Railway.

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 McCreary’s Christmas is Over We Hope You Had a Merry Time. Now Lets Think of the Rest of the Winter. f*«o73 If The Right Things For the Right money. McCreary’s 742 Broad Street. McCREARY’S office-holders in power will receive this compensation. Thus does M. Loubet rleseribo the po litical situation of France arising from ItH imperfect electoral system. Tie favors a secret, ballot and registration of voters like that of the United States.

German invention has perfected and patented a simple sail vehicle which makes fair progress over good roads and across sandy stretches, such as a sea beach. The dominating features in the construction are lightness and effective steering fa cilities. JOHNNIE SPEAKS.

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 husband Klchtgqro. 11 was all due to the dispensation of Providence.

I should not be wedded lo the man 1 disliked, and then and there took me from the in fluence of the lord. This was the beginning of the genuine love that sprang up between the knight and myself, and finally ended In our happy marriage. “My benefactor in the previous life Is Ihe self-same Yataro as he now stands before you. The husband I killed was in the former era only my errand boy. Imagine the wrath of Providence, for my preposterous act In deserting my renl husband and benefactor and marrying the servant. “Heaven threatened mo If I per sisted In this hideous sin. So In obe dience to the will of Providence I look the life of Klchegoro, the re incarnation of my former servant.” Sentence was postponed after (he prosecutor had demanded the death penalty. THREE
