A KEMAKK.ABI.E RECORD. PARIS THIEVES CAPTURED. A band of thieves whose operations, in extent utid importance, constitute a record in the annals of the i'M.if} police, has been run to earth. A short time ago extensive thetfcs from delivery vans were committed by thieves who had pressed the motor-car into their service, and who occupied a large mansion at St. Ma nr. The police have now succeeded in making 35 arrests, and after careful investigation among vietinnK.«;ll shopkeepers have gmfc the amount of the goods stolen at £ 20,000. For some time there had been numerous com- plaints of theft s from shcpke, pers in the quarters .neighbouring the Bourse. Extra detectives were ,employed, and finally the secret of the thefts was -discovered. Two men dressed like milkmen were «een walking behind a furniture van. This van was filled every day with goods stolen from carts .and barrows. The artinlr* included cabinets, ij)ianos, siiks, opera gUtt-.v. and boxes of tea. The band was cleverly led, the leader himself •driving the furniture van. He went a fresh round every day, and so perfect was his organisa- tion that his agents, many of whom were carmen, were invariably ready for iitm and saw to it that goods were transferred frc ii their carts to the furniture van. Occasionally tiiey stole a heavily- Saden van, and removed the furniture from a flat. 'The goods were stored at their mansion until tthey could be turned into money. The thieves imade a speciality of motor ears, They even kept ra factory, fully equipped. There the stolen cars .went through the process of disguise, and were ,then sold. The chiefs of this factory escaped in fmotor cars, followed by an inspector, who was .stopped on the road for furious driving. He ulti- mately secured a faster car. and overtook them. Among those arrested are several persons who Acted as receivers of the stolen property.

GIPSY SHUTTLECOCKS. The twenty-four Hungarian gipsies who, • seiverai months ago, were being paeaed out of one country to another by the German, Austrian, Swiss, and French authorities as undesirables, are still the vie time of a. game of international ehufctiecocks. For over four months unfortunates, with neither papery, money, nor home, have been crossing and reercesdng frontiers.

¡TWO PRIESTS DROWNED.
TWO PRIESTS DROWNED. Two priests connected with the African Mis- sion at Biskra have' just been drowned while attempting to cress the Djedi, which was con- siderably swollen. They left Biskra in the after- noon, and seeing that th^ river was in flood thought that they would be able to cross on honseiback. They secured two horses, mounted them, and entered the water. They had reached the middle of the river, which is very wide at this point, when the torrent increased and the two priests were carried from their horses and drowned.
VESSEL'S TERRIBLE EXPERIEJNCE.
VESSEL'S TERRIBLE EXPERIEJNCE. The schooner Eva, of Plymouth, for the Had- dington Coast, arrived in the Firth of Froth, after a terrible experience in the North Sea. The vessel was within a mile or two of land in tow of a tug eight days before, when she broke away owing to the fury of the gale, and, nothing further having been heard of her, was given up as lost. The ve> sel, it now appears, was driven into the North Sea, where for over a week she was completely beyond control. Everything movable was carried overboard by a high run- ning sea, which continuously swept over the vessel, and for a time the crew abandoned all hope. The gale having moderated somewhat, a successful attempt was made to reach the May Island. The crew were in a very exhau6ted con- dition.
A COSTLY KICK.
A COSTLY KICK. PRINCE AND HOTEL PORTER. In November, 1904, the Russian Prince Leon Kotechoubey, who was staying at a, Dresden hotel, asked the night porter to bring him an illustrated paper to his room. The man unsus- piciously took hi.fn a copy of "Simplieisaimus," the wen-known saurical paper, which happened to contain a keen satire on the Russian Grand Dukes. The prince became furious on seeiag, the pic- ture, and vented his rage on the porter, whom he kicked violently in the stomach. Serious; infer- nal consequences ensued, with the result that the porter was compelled to relinquish all idea of retaining his former position, and, indeed, of doing ally more hard work. The man applied to the prince for ccmpersa.tion, which was re- fused, whereupon the matter was taken into the law courts. The civil court at Dresden, after hearing the medical evidence, has now con- rV 'Ted the prince to ray the porter a sum of E130 per annum for li e. nn:.Lce Kctichoubey is married* to Duchess ^Dorothea von Leuchtenberg, near relatives of the Czar's. He is a Knight of the Maltese Order, and has an annual income of £ 10,000. The porter has become verger of the English church at Dresden.

ANOTHER HOOLIGAN OUTRAGE.
ANOTHER HOOLIGAN OUTRAGE. A timid lad, named Randa. appeared before the Paris Assize Court, charged with wounding a young woman under singula r cireumstttiihes. There is a tang of young hooligans who call themselves The Hand of Five Points." Before new members can be received into this eon fraternity, they must furnish proof of their prowess with the knife or the revolver. When gauda, so ;ght admssion into the band he had done nothing to justify him in seekint t.he honour. Hp was told that he could not be received, as his record was not good enough. Randa sought to qualify him-self. He bought a revolver and waited at the door ot a cafe in the Avenue de Clichy. A young woman, who was unknown to him, left the cafe. Ilnme- diately he seized her arm, and while she was look- ing at him, he, without uttering a single word, discharged his revolver in her face. By a miracu- lous circumstance the wound was not fatal. Counsel made an eloquent appeal for this would-be member of the "Band of Five Points." But his speech was in vain. Randa was sentenced to five years' imprisonment.

PRINCESS' SAD CASE.
PRINCESS' SAD CASE. The Court of Cassation delivered judgment Against the appeal of Princess Stephanie with regard to the will of her mother, the late Queen of the Belgians. Princess Stephanie, who was the wife of the ill- fated Archduke Rudolph of Austria, was never forgiven by her father when many years later she married Count Lonvay, an Austrian nobleman. The King disputed the right of his daughters to share half their mother's estate according to Belgian law, and the action, which has now been closed on appeal, was brought by Princess Stephanie and her sister, Princess Louise. King Leopold's counsel argued that his marriage contract, which made the Queen's property a separate estate, was an international treaty which overruled Belgian law, and that the King was no ordinary citizen and could not be judged by the standards applied to his subjects. The court up- held this view, and it was sustained on appeal.

JUGGLER'S FATAL SLIP.
JUGGLER'S FATAL SLIP. A tragedy formed an unlooked-for part of the programme at a Basle music-hall. A juggler named Blumenfeld, who has been appearing there for several nights, has been in the habit of inviting one of the audience on to the stage, loading a pistol, and inviting him to fire at the performer. After the man had fired, the juggler would take the bullet from his mouth or ear and smilingly band it to the audience. Of course, the trick lay in j "0 clever removal of the bullet from the pistol ,;r, it "d been placed in the barrel in full view i. i i t"- "'ienoe. I • i!ie the pistol was duly loaded, the man fiI'f": dUJ. the juggler fell to the stage with a shriek. The audience laughed, thinking it part of the per- formance. When blood began to trickle from the juggler's forehead, consternation seized the audi- ence. An attendant rushed to Blumenfeld. and found that he had been shot dead. The bullet had entered the forehead and passed through the brain. The performer had forgotten to extract the bullet. "The man who shot the juggler is a young and he was half-paralysed by terror when he knew what he had done. Blumenfeld had per- formed. his pistol trick hund reds of times before without accident, and this one slip cost him his life.

BRITAIN AND JAPAN.
BRITAIN AND JAPAN. Mi*. Oisshi states that his sole motive in call- in.g attention to the British Army organisation was hits dee;re to assist the. noble ally of Jausn in eiiec-ting a meet difficult but inatsperisaole re-form. lie had not the slightest intention of wounding. British susceptibilities. A stimulus trom outside often helped, he thought, to facili- Mte-the accomp'i-siiiiii'c.'iit of a diiiioiilt task. ihe Japanese Embassy has received the I following otlicitai dispatch from 'lokio in answer to an enquiry from the Embassy: — The speech of Lieuteiia-nt-Geiitral Terauchi, the Minister of War, recently made in the House of Representatives, was, according to the official verbatim report, substantially to the following effect: — "I am aware of the article in the Alliance Agreement was pointed out by Mr. Oishi, sti- pulating that the naval and military authori- ties of the two Powers shall, frankly and sin- cerely, consult one another on the conditions and means of armed assistance to be rendered. The Government, therefore, have to act upon this stipulation hereafter but they have not as yet entered into any discission on the subject." At a meeting of the Sectional Budget Com- mittee in Tokio, the Government delegate, in reply to a question, stated that it was expected that the tonnage, of the navy would be in- creased! to 400,000 tons by the fiscal year 1907-08.
TERRIBLE SCENES AT A FIRE.
TERRIBLE SCENES AT A FIRE. MANY. LlVgS LOST. The Piletiere alms-licusee for the aged poor, near ixennes, were destroyed by fire on Sunday morning, and many iL\es were lost. 'There were 4U0 aged pensioners in the houses, and eleven bodies had been recovered up to the Monday morning. Only 300 of -the inmates were, then known to be rescued, and it was feared that the remainder had perished in the flaones. Terrible scenes were witnessed during the progress of the fire. The almshouses are some distance from Rennes, and considerable time elapsed before the fire brigade arrived. Meanwhile, owing to a very high wind, the flames spread with snart- ling rapidity. The inmates were terror-stricken. They rushed to the windows, and fought one with an- other in their struggle to get out, but unfortu- nately the windows were barred, and escane by in at means was. impossible. Most of the poor people were infirm and incapable of saving them- selves, and the more agile and strong among the men pensioners, who were ably assisted by the officials, did what they could to allay the alarm .and effect rescues. It was impossible, however, t° stav the panic, for the flames swept through one building after another until the entire place resembled a roaring furnace. Among the officials who gallantly distin- guished themselves in eoifering the burning houses and bringing out the aged a.nd decrepit was the chaplain at the institution. He had been the means of rescuing several of the in- mates, when he was struck by a falling piece of timber. He was so seriously injured that he is not expected to recover. When the firemen ar- rived they promptly directed their efforts to- wards saving the people who were still in peril. Many deeds of heroism were witnessed, and in performing them some of the firemen were badly injured. They brought out as many of the people a« the-" could, but by the time the fire was extin- guished only 300 out of the total of 400 mustered in a building which was temporarily set apart for their accommodation. The almshouses were completely destroyed.
MURDER AND HYPNOTISM.
MURDER AND HYPNOTISM. A remarkaible murder mystery has been un- ravelled by the police of Bloomfield, New Jersey. The body of John Hoff, a German mechanic, was recently discovered mutilated be- side the railway line on the outskirts of the town, and certain suspicious circumstances caused an investigation. The man's widow, after a rigid examination, broke down and gave full details of the murder, which, she declared, had been committed by Frank Banasik, a Pole, who had boarded at her house, fallen desperately in love with her, and apparently exercised some hypnotic influence over her. About a week before the murder, w*—— was committed on January 14, Banasik informed Mrs. Hoff that he intended to kill her husband. She was asked why she had not communicated with the police and replied that she was a,iriaid of Banasik, who she knew would have killed her had she told. Even after Bana6ik told that he had murdered her husband she lacked the cour- age to inform the police. Mrs. Hoff and Banasik are in the county prison awaiting trial. The latter has made a full confession. One night he induced Hoff to drink large quantities of gin, while he himself drank water. When Hoff be- came intoxicated almost to the point of insensi- bility, Banasik led him to a retired spot and killed him with a heavy mallet. He then dragged the body a quarter of a mile to the railway line and laid it across the rails.
