most tmccessful attempt at stilcido 'with
Intidanum. Slio aaya ho took the poison
hecauso of her disgust with her wretched

because of terror in conseqUenCe of the
threats of a gang of blackmailers.
She appeared early the other morning
at the apartments of a lnarrie(1 woman
friend Ofl Iloulovard Voltaire , having left
her own handsome hotel In Avenue Victor
Hugo before 6 ocloclc. No ono was awake ,
but after a while , lp response to her ro-
peatcd summons , do l3ourgoy , her friend'n
husband , a urosperotis wino merchant , came
to the door in his night clothes and ad-
initted her. To Mine. do Ilourgey she
saidt
" \Vell , I was lonely. I was sad , I have
many troubles. Then I thought of you and
that I would pass the day here ; that will
ootho inc. "
She passed the morning with her friend
and alter lunch at 1 p. in. vent Into Mine.
do I3ourgcy's room to lie down.
"My husband % 'Cflt out to his office at
atioUt 2 o'clock , " said Mine. do Ilourgey ,
in tolling of the affaIr. "A little later I
went Into the drawiii room on tip toe ,
thinking Llano was asleep. I then heard
her moaning. 'Llane , ' I called , 'are you
ill ? : She did not reply , but continued to
moan. As the shutters were closed I could
distinguish nothing In the dark corner ,
where lie was lying. But when I ap-
Iroacllell closer I saw a sight which froze
my blood. 11cr face was contorted , her
oyeH were staring out of her head and licr
lips were still yellow with the laudanuni
ho bad drunk. On the floor was a hot-

Mme. (10 IlourgeY immediately thrust ' a
ftiiger down the unfortunate woman's
throat , then gave her some intllc and sent
for a doctor. This was about 3 p. in. Not

with Liano's real nanie-dar1o Chassaigile.

, The police say sIlo received an anomyinous
ldtter the day before. threatenIng her with
eposuro aliti oven violence if she failed to
send 3,000 francs to the postoftico In Ituc tie
Louvre Monday , The suili demanded by the
blackmailers was not one to cause her any
serious embarrassment. Its the Figaro tieli-
cately iut it , she had Just brought back a
neat. little fortUne from Russia , "after an
F allinilco which morality must certainly dis-
approve. hilt which vatrlotlslll may , at n
pinch , permit. "
She had been receiving anonymous corn-
municatlons for several wecks threatening
her with vitriol , dynamite and Poison. "She
thought , " explains Lo Tempo , "that ho
was doomed , that 1te lived in a sort of mys-
terioua Vctiico In which assassins were lurk-
lng at every turn. She got frigtitencd and
lost her bend , and in order not to be mur-
tiered tried to kill herself. " The Temps
says that "Friday one of our most gifted
dramatic authors received a note , after
reading which he hurried off to Inform ho
prefect of police. Tim note said : 'Adieu , I
have had enough of life. Adieu and vardon
- me. Do not forget your little Liano. ' "
"Liano do l'ougis' father , " says the FL-
garo , "was a gallant major of marino artii-
lery , who lived at Lorient and who thought
her future was acconipllsbed , when lie
inarrlel his only daughter to a distinguished
naval officer , M. l'ougis. Unfortunately the
union ended with a scene , a pistol shot and
a scandalous divorce suit. M , l'ougls finally
died of consumption , hut Hot before ho had

ST. LOUIS , June 8.-What shall be done
with time colored delegates and alternates to
time national republican convcxmtion ? This
Is the question which is puzzling time meni-
bers of time national committee who have arrived -
rived in the city anti the fluBiness Men's
league which secured the commvetmtiomi to
St. Louis as well. Every hotel anti boarding
imotiso and cafe came out flatfooted today
anti declared it would entertain imo negro as
ft guest or a ctmstonier. Money Is mio object.
Threats of prosecution have imo effect ammd

have to go hungry amid mmmmimoused.
"I am thoroughly disgusted anti dis.
couraged , " said Natiommai Commimitteeman J ,
U. Long of Florida tonight , iii speaking of
the matter. "I have been looking all ( lay
long for it hotel , boartling Imnumso or cafe that
wotmli admit the negroes , but it has been a
fruitless searclm. I even went so far as to
try to clmarter a steamboat , but when lmo
owtmers learned for what purpose I wanted
it they fouimd an excuse for rcftmsitmg me the
use of tIme vessel. It. is time emily timmme imm
tito history of the republican party where
such aim enmbarrassing predicament has
arisen. "
When asked wimat the national coinniittce
would (10 , Mr. Long rephieti : "I have con-
suited time members wlmo are here amid we
have decideti to offer a resolution as soon

of a corps of cooks to supply them with

This trouble has been brewing for nearly
a week. A nummimber of days ago it was
learncd by the Ilusimmcss Men's league that
some of time leatling hotels had been cancel-
