Lord Itoscbery maintains n sphlnx-llko
rllence, but his friends admit that It he
nulks any longer his political career will
be at an end.
Tho duration of the first session of the
new Parliament depends mainly upon the
action of tho Irish par.'y. A further split
seems already threatened. Timothy liar

PARIS, Nov. 17 Count da Corncllcr this
afternoon suprlsed his wife, the Countess
do Cornellcr. visiting the npartmcnts of a
gentleman on the Hue do Provonco. Tuo
count met tho countess on tho stalrwny
and fired three shots at her. She died on
her way to a hospital.

pending between the count and tho count
ess.
The shooting of tho Countess da Corncllcr
created consternation In social circles,
where both tho count nnd countess were
prominently known. The couutess was a
woman of unusual beauty and sho was often
seen at the theaters, race courses nnd other
resorts frequented by tho ellto of Paris.
Shu was a daughter of Count do Vlannn,
whose family Is highly respected. Sho was
married to Count do Cornellcr fourteen
years ago and three children alu the result
of tho union.
Tho mnrralgc proved nn unhappy one and
noting upon tho ndvico of her father, the
countess scpnrated from her husband four
years ngo and lias since lived In a private
house at Autcull.
Recently ti decree was rendered giving
her possession of tho children. Tiic count
then began his espionage and discovered
that the countess frequently visited M.
heroux, one of her former ndmlrors. Count
Cornellcr claimed that a llnsou was main
tained by tho couple, but tho best informa
tion Is that M. I.croux noted as tho legal
advisor of tho countess. It Is stated that
her father choso him to mnnago hor affairs.
Yesterday tho count watched M. I.oroux's
home, but the countess did not pay a visit
to her ndvlser. Today, finding her landau
bofore M. Leroux's door, tho count secreted
himself on tho stairway and when tho
countess descended he, without n word,
fired three times, each shot tnklng elfcct.
Ills wifo never regained consciousness nftor
tho shooting, dying In tho arabulnnre which
was summoned to tnko her to tho hospital.
Tho count was exceedingly calm upon
surrendering himself, saying: "I did It. I
am her husband."
Ho was the first to give aid to his wlfo
nnd asked that a priest he sent for. Ho
asserted that ho did not intend to kill his
wife, but wanted to crento n scandal.

here. It accounts for Lord llnhprin1 nr,in
that no furthor troops leave South Africa
and plnccs In a very dubious light his as
surances that tho war Is over.
Tnu burden of all letters now eonilni? frmn
tho scene of operations Is that the only way
to terminate tho war Is by giving n frco
hand to Lord Kitchener to exterminate the
Jioers. TUo notion of a Doer necentancn
of subjection has been abandoned by every
one on tho spot.
Larl Itoselyn's abject nnoloev. under tho

princo or wales himself, for hinting that
me tentli Hussars and the Life (Juards ran

one oi i iiu ugliest Incidents of the war. Tho
princo is honorary colonel of both regi
ments. The efforts of the military
authorities to Ignore tho conduct of tho
two regiments Is attributed to the fact of
their being officered exclusively by men
high In social Influence and the favoritism
thus Khown is exciting the greatest bitter
ness In tho other corps.
According to the best authenticated ac
counts, when tho forco was ambushed an
order was given to gallop, so that tho guns,
which they were escorting, should escape
from the narrow defile. Onco outside the
denie, tho order was given f.o form i.n.Uut
the escort gulloped off as fast as the horses
could carry (hem, leaving tho guns, four
of which wero captured by the Boers. This
was tno affair in which the duke of Ttck,
tho duchess of York's brother, wns con
cerned, but he was not, an stated, in com
mand. No ofllclal account or explanation of the
disaster wan ever made public and no in
quiry was ever made by Lord Roberts re
specting tho circumstances under which the
guns wero lost, it Is announced that the
policy of the present government Is to let
this and similar Incidents pass Into

bpot in the Tyrol. Tho husband traced them
and brcugit his joung wlfo In k, wheieupon

London. He subsequently tried to stab
his v.ifn through Jealousy. Kvcr after that
tlmo the American woman was Donato's
chief lieutenant upon tho platform. Her

the Irresponsible tool of Donato because
of his strange powers.
Rees never would apply for a divorce
for thnt reason. Lucille committed suicide

result of c bunco acquaintances nmung tho
employes In the course of tho exposition,
many weddings have occurred. The Figaro
reports fifteen more marriages slnre the
closing niuong tho employe. Tho closing
of tho show certainly Interrupted many
romances. There was a legion of pretty
rcd-hendi'd typewriter girls employed by
the Amerlcnn desk company, nil of whom
received many iittentlons. Rose Merrill
wns certulnly tho most universally courted
young woman. Sho received 11. proposals,
emanating from men of fourteen different
nationalities.
It Is hard to eoucelvo the fovcrlsh swift
ness with which 'the work of tearing tho
great exponltlon to pieces wns begun nn I
has proceeded for tho last week. As soon
as the midnight gun boomed for the closure
on Monday night squads of workmen scat
tered over tho grounds started to pile up
the Iron benches, garden chaira and boxed
orange trees, alt of which wero carted
nway In great loads. The railroad tracks,
under every gravel pathway, wero bared
with pick and shovel, and tho first trulu
of empty freight ciith entered the grounds
at 7 o'clock ths next morning. Later loco
motives began to switch tho big cranes to
various points nboul the grounds. Mean
while the gates wero mobbed by laborers
seeking employment. Now, after four days,
the grounds and galleries present nn In
describable scene of devastation nnd ac
tivity. The exhibitors nro ncemtngly mad
to get nwny. Mountains of packing cases,
which briiltght the goods, nro being con
tlnually dumped from tho trains bringing
them from tho storage ground, whero they
spent the summer.
The. buildings occupied by the Jnpuncse,
Chinese, Alankun, Ceylon, Now Zealand and
American sections will certulnly be among

vilion Is absolutely empty of private ex

There nro some pathetic, Blmplo persons
still nrrlving In Paris to visit the expo
sition, being perfectly Ignorant that It linn
closed. A family of ten sturdy peasants
arrived yesterday from somo unknown rural
point Intending to establish n cider mill
In the fair grounds. Three men wli'i
tramped from Poland to see tho fair, hav
