SKIRTED COURT SPIES WHO WORM STATE SECRETS OUT OF WEAK DUPES. 4as>lalSl llrrlfy. l Mnr,,.,l.. lloW .. I. era I I*M llr We* Kulurtl - M. ml tJesMlr. T, ervi- Kurspr i ..uri. Of all the cases of treachery thai have tsken place in the French army since the war ot 1*70 there has been none of a mure aggravated, flagrant and altogether ineiousable character than that charged against Captain Alfred Dreyfus, of Ihs Headquarters' staff, who has hitherto occu- pied a confidential position in the intelli- gence bureau of the War Department. He aland* accused of having availed himself of his position to communicate to the Italian (iovernment and through it to the (German and Austrian governments, not only all sort* of plant, drawings and specifications, the secret* concerning th* manufacture of wie smokeless powder in use by the French army, the mechanism of the new rifle and of the impioved ordin- ance ; but also of having betrayed the en- tire project of mobilization of the French army in the event of a declaration of war This document is of a most voluminous character and arranges for the assignment of the various lejiments, brigades and divisions to thsir respective poets, for the provision of the troops, for the means of conveyance of the latter, even going so far as to slats the hoars at wbich the var iou* railroad train* conveying the force* aud the war material ar* to start and to arrive at their destination.

There alway* u in such instances a* these a lady who plays tha role of Uelilah to tha: of Samson filled by the weak and ti,-crier-)us officer. In Captain Dreytu*' case it seems to have been a beautiful and sptivating Italian Marqui-a, now beyond (lie roach of the French police. She got the captain completely ^infatuated by her charma, and after having wheedled a secret of minor importance out of him terrorized him tc such an sxtenl by her threats of ex- posing hi* indiscretion to his superiors thst she was able to obtain from him all the subsequent information that ahe required. This Marouiae seems to have played the same rolx a* that of ths infamous liaroness '! Kalla during th* Presidency of Marshal Mat Mahon. In that instance the dupe wa* not a mere captain of ths staff, but the Minister of War himself, (Jeneral de Cmy. Karones* ds Kaulla, a vary beautiful woman, wan the daughter of an Austrian (Jovern men I official, and hail mairied the French General Jung, the well-known military his- torian, abd until recently (iovernor of th* prt of Dunkirk. Her moral* were so dis- graceful that the ooupls soon separated, and the lady, being left to her own device*, re*un>ed h*r maiden name ot Baron*** de Kaulla and resorted to spying for a living. She managed to make the acquaintance ot the Minister of War by asking an audi- ence of him, for the purpose of securing hi* Intervention with her former husband, who-e signature she pretended to require for some purpose or other. The Ministi r became completely subjugated by her charms, and soon got to be a frequent visitor to her house. Th* latter wa* ntuat- ed within* stone's throw of the Elysee, and on the days when the Cabinet council* were held at the Presidential Palace, the suscept ihl* old l.eneral would regularly stroll acmes after the meeting wa* over, to her residence to share her noonday breakfast HUM Till UAKONK.H.1 WoHKKD HIM. On thssn occasion* the Baroness ami the I isneral always remained pretty long altahle the cuisine was SB excellent as the wins* were generous and during that time a coupln of Prussian officers belonging to the Headquarters' Staff at Kerlin, and who were attached to Mme. de Kaulla'* house hold in the guise of foot.nen, were in the habit of carefully perusing the contents of the (leneral's ministerial portfolio, which, with almost criminal insouciance, he would lux aribly leave in the salon during the re- past. Stenographic note* were rapidly n.ade of ths document* contained in ths portfolio, and that ram* afternoon ths (ier- man authorities at Berlin were in possess- i .'i of * ili ta If.i report of everything that had taken place at ths Cabinet council held at the Klysee under the Presidency f Marshal Mac Mahon, just three or four Juiur* previously. Of course, a moment arrived when all : his l>e same known, and it resulted in the (ieneral'i removal from the office of War Minister anil his retirement from the army with a cloud of such hsavy popular oppro- brium banging over his head lhat it was not long before he succumbed to a malady which, if it cannot be called broken heart, waa certainly broken spirit. There was vsry little ex ;us for General da Cissy, since he should have known who a* woman was, as only s couple of years previously she had been literally driven .nit of London by a more reputabli female -liploniatist, Mme. de Novikoff. The latter, m arriving in London after a *tay in Kussia, found Mmo. d* Kaulla enjoying a .onaiderable amount of social prestige and currency. She had s beautiful house in <juaen's\(iate, Hyde Park, and was a wel- . ume guest in all the diplomatic and official salosis of the British metropolis, the bril- liancy of her conversation, her beauty and bar perfect taste in dress rendering her particuhrly conspicuous. Mme. d* Novikoff at once informed her friends of ths antecedents of the lady, as wall as the fact that *he had been expelled 4>y the Russian police from St. Petersburg a a (erman spy, and also a* a blackmail- er. lx>rd (iranvillo was made acquainted with this during a reception at the Foreign Oiht.-e, at which not only the Baroness, but aU.i ths entire royal family save the Queen were present. Although the moet cour- teous and suave of men, he determined upon iiediate action, and excusing himself to (Tered her hi arm, a* if to lead li*r around he salon. He then conducted her down- lair* himielf, erdered her carriage and ilted with her until it came to the door. Mme.de Kaulla's expostulations were les* violent than might have been expected under the circumstances. For, having seen lier enemy, Mme. de Novikoff. in conversa- tion w th I. "i I i iranvill* just a moment before, the must have known without any explanation on hi* part the reasons that led him to practically expel her from hi* entertainment. WRICKED AS AMBASSADOR. Another lUronmi of the same kin I, who raa achieved similar, though nut altogether as (rreat notoriety, i* the so-called Baroneas de Kur4h, who almost succeeded in wreck- tog the career of the Marquis de Keversaux, now French Ambassador at Madrid, but formerly Minuter at Cairo. She spent two winter* in the Egyptian capital, and her association with the Marquis was the talk of that scandal-loving plaoa. !Sn enjoyed the reputation of influencing the policy of the French envoy in behalf of th Oar- man Government, ana i* generally believed to have been one of the prime mover* of the abortive coup d' etat of the Khedive in connection with the dismissal from the Premierihip of Miutapha Fehmi Pacha, and which constituted such a defeat for France'* diplomacy. On her return to Paris she established herself in luxurious apartmsnts in the Ku* de la Tremoille, where her salon wa* quite a* much frequented by newipaper men, diplomat* and members of th* French Foreign Otfi je and Government a* that of the celebrated Marquice de Paiva previous to the war. And yet ths lesson taught by the latter should have had the effect of arousing them to observe more discretion. Kims, de I'aiva was the daughter of a Moscow oobnler named Lachuiann, who after making her way to Paris and figuring for % time on the police registers as a member of the demi- monde, finally succeeded in obtaining along with wealth a certain amount of preitige. More specially after the had induced an unf orlunale Portuguese nobleman of ancient name, but of impoverished purse, ths Mar quis de Paiva, to marry her. MB BLIW HI* BRAINS OIT. SCOTLAND YARD'S HI.

I lie flues! elective trrvlrr Earth. The Hawkshaws of the dime novel, ss well as other counterparts in medieval and modern drum*, haveeverattracted admirers. What is at the bottom of the magnetism tha mere suggestion of the word detective invoke* ? Undoubtedly the hslo that sur- rounds the detective is chiefly supplied by the pliant fancy of his admirers. In ordinary life he is a very simple individual. U heresoever ths English tongue is spoken the public is mors or less familiar with the words "Scotland Yard." Firstly, Scotland Yard is a location, and is to be found almost directly opposite the Horse Uuarda, White hall, London. Peopli who are acquainted with that great city have psssed, maybe unconsciously, the celebrated spot in walk ing from Trafalgar Square westward toward Westminster Abbey and the House of Con* mons. Well what is Scotland Yard? It is the headquarter* of th* greatest dstectiv, system without question in the world. Imagine for a moment what a city like London, with its upward of 5,000,000 citizens, requires; not only that, but the British Empire at large, in emergencies, call* upon ths services of Scotland Yard to unravel mysteries, arreit criminals and protect it* extended interests over an em- pire upon which the sun never sets. \Vhs t a task for a body of men to perform. Yet, when one examines the component parts o' the body corporate, we find in the Scotland Yard officials a highly capable, intelligent, well educated and absolutely fearless bxly of men, that not only compare favorably As soon as he had done this he realized ! with but emphatically outstrip the records the ignommy of hi. conduct and blew his ! o( anv olher ^^ Mniot ort anuation in brains eul in her presence. Her magnifi- cent house on the Roode Point of the Champs F.lysee* ha* juit been converted into a restursnt, but during the latter days of th* Kmpire, the " Hotel de I'avia" was thronged with all the leading men of the day, who were wont to discuss even sffairs of state in her presence. It was only after th* war broke out that thev discovered that she wss in the pay of Bismarck and 1)1 I-AI.VA I1I.OWS HIT UTS DRAINS. that everything that she heard wa* report ed at Berlin, th* information thus lecured proving most valuable in 1870. After the war she msrried the wealthiest of all Herman nobles, Count Henokel I)onncr*marck, and having gratified her pite agamit the Kmpres* Kugime by buy- ing mod of her jewel*, withdrew to Cer- many, where ihe withdraw a few yean alterwanl. Other* whose names deserve to be ment- ioned in thu category are the Italian Duch- ess of Ltttaand the Comtesse de Castiglione- both celebrated for their beauty, and who played so prominent a role at the court of the Tuillnriei during the reign of Napoleon Illailooauie much misery to Empress Eugenie. The latter may be laid to have obtained her revenge on ono of them ; lor he took advantage of the power conferred upon her a* regent after the departure of Napoleon for the seat of war in INTO, to mprison the beautiful Duchess of Lilla at Vinoenne* on the well-foundad chargx of being a German *py, and there the Duchess remained until the battle of Sedan had been fought and the Kmpres* forced to fly from Paris. There are many well-known Europ- ean statesmen now living who attribute to the intrigue* of these two ladies the secret cause of the inexplicable Kranco-UermaD war, which led to the overthrow of the Napoleonic Kmpire and the consequent withdrawal of ths French army of occupation from Rome, The kepi of the last French soldier r>nd no sooner vanished from the Eternal I 'iiy than Victor Emmanuel, with hi* besieging army made ma appearance before the gate* of K i.n and took forcible possession of the capital. A FAIR RUSSIA* INTKIIifANTK. Another pelticoated diplomatist is the Russian I'riuoes* who acts a* lady in wait ing to the mother of the Khedive of Egypt. Her record i* *uch as to render it prefer- able for her (iovernment to utilize her ser- vices, not in Europe, but on the bank* of the Nile, where so many damaged reputa- tions have found a home. Through her the imperial chancellene at St. Petersburg ob- tain* an early report of every fresh state secret which the Kngliih (iovernment find* its necessary to communicate to the Khedive. It would icarcely be fair to includs in t his list such eminently respectable and respect- ed ladie* a* Princess Liu Trouheshoi and Mme. de Noviion*. Yet they, too, form part, of that highly-paid corn* of female diplomatic agents who are remunerated out of the secret service fund at the disposal of cvsry continental government. It i* a corps which ow'ng to l*<e persuasive powers, the intuition and ths talent for intrigue of its members, i* of infinitely greater value to immediate action, ana excusing nimseu MJ - - -- ,i .- Princes, of Wale., he walked up to the " government, employing them than ths spot whsre the Barouess stood, as uiu al r8'>lsr^ staff of ambassadors, snvoys atd surrounded by a crowd of admirers, and|~' the world. TUB CRACK A DIVUIOS. Now Scotland Yard, or, to speak official- ly, the criminal investigation department is a distinct service in itself, and ha* no actual connection with ths metropolitan police force. The Scotland yard officer*, many ot them at all events, am drafted from the regular service. Here it may be staled that the London poll -e force is arranged dmiionally and in alphabetical order; thus the A division i* the foremoit and principal of all. Tbs duties of the A division police are relegated to the entire west end of London, including a close in pection of all the government building*, the Houie of Lord* and COM mons, West mms'.er Abbsy, and, in fact, every place of importance. It naturally follow* that the members of the crack A division are exceptionally fine men, both physically and morally; as a rule in height they are six- footers, and their moral characteristics are projortiona'ly elevated; few of them, however, in possession of some spare moments are above consul ting the delicacies of the area kitchen, and their ardent admirers, the housemaids, contrive ever and anon to *urretitou*ly administer to the requirements of the force with *uoh tidbit* a* the cold roast beef of England, washed down with unrivaled end unlimit- ed Baa*' pale at*. The politone**, in fact one might say gallantry, of the) British policeman is proverbial. In the densest crowd he i* omnipotent. Take Piccadilly circus any afternoon at the height of the season, and what chance ha* the ordinary pedestrian to effect a crossing ? Nans; yet let him appeal to one of the popular A policemen, aud in an instant an upraised arm causes the immediate cessation of the entire traffic and a passage assafeas that enjoyed by the children of Israel in crossing ths Ked Sea is at the disposal of the distracted traveler. The value of the A division men in the House of Commons is beyond ordinary description ; especially linen th* attempted dvnamite outrages have the energies of the A men been particularly demanded. The initialed or habitual frequenter of the lobbies of the House of commons ha* little difficulty in placing the Scotland Yard men who have haunted the historic pile fever since me day* of (Juy Fawkes. Without any exaggeration, on an ordinary debate night fifty, at least, of these bright lUwk- ihaw* mmnt be counted within the House of Common* itself. An Irish night moe or ten years ago they might have been numbered by the hundred. Those were in the dramatic dynamite days. I'ROMOTIOXOAINBD BY MBRIT IIM.Y. IB all of the divisions of the London police foroe theri i* a detective branch compose.! of the brainiest men, who reach the position of detective entirely on merit. An ordinary, evoryday policeman shows hi* Mrgeant lome cleverness in connection, it may t>e, with some exceptional case either of murder, burglary, dynamiteism, socialism, or any of the " isms" that have rendered our language famous, and that poliooman is marked for promotion. He reaches in a *hort time the position ot " plain clothe*" officer. Thu is a distinct- ly hybrid or half way location between an ordinary member of the foroe and a " tec," as they are dubbed in London, but in time, all going well, the " plain clothes officer" is crystallized and a lull-Hedged detective is at your service. It i* from the detective branches of the various division* of the police foroe thatSoot.and Yard is recruited, snd it may be taken for granted that all men connected withthe celebrated Scotland Yard are vigilant sleuth-hounds, who slumber not nor sleep. Men who at s moment's notice are prepared to visit the uttermost part* of the earth, familiar with all language*, capable of every conceivable form of disauise torn the bishop of the highest church to a Whiteuhapel tough, from a provincial dude to a oockaeyooster monger. These varioui specialities ar* on tap and can be turned out in the twinkling of an eye. Stroll into one of the principal depot. say Charing ('ro. It is evening and th* continental express it due. Observe among the curious conglomeration that goes to composes London orowd, ami always at the outskirt sre a Dumber of curious people, invariably with umbrella ot an unmistak- ably new and unused appearance. These men as aru e sre detective*. Another point that without fall ijiveslhe de'-c'ive away beside the clumsy manner in which he carries his umbrella, is hi* shoes. They are ever of the policeman pattern, (i lance at thtm, and with their classic propor tioin rixcdiu your mind'*e?e oompar. them with the shoes of the first policeman you meet ; then observe the similarity. The dutie* of Scotland Yard are multifarious. Political and criminal detectives are always in demand. There i. an annual sum of money voted by parliament to the secret service fund, and no doubt Scotland Yard absorb* a goodly share of it. Political de'.ective* *r* employed to follow, watch and report at meeting* of an extreme char- acter, which are generally held in Hyde Park.

It i* neces- sary to obtain an order from the Home Secretary in order to visit this unique place. Here may be found the various belongs of ths " cracksman," the common burglar and assassin. On the occasion of the writer s visit he was upon entering the museum hsnded a j, itol and a bullet to examine. " Do you know the case they belong to ?" wss asked. Replying nega- tively, trie answer came : " That pistol and that bullet killed Carey, the arch informer, who at the Invincible trial in Dublin betrayed his fellow assassins and richly deserved the death he met with." Among the curios were the relies of the celebrated burglar, Charles Peace, who, after a life of daring robberies, closed it upon the gallows, behaving been sentenced to death for killing a policeman. Prior to his execution Peace confesses to a murder which had occurred seventeen years previously, and for which ar other man had been arrested, tried and sentenced to dMtn, snd by the merest chance royal clemency hid been granted. Otherwise an innocent man would most assuredly have been put to death. Pesce'* burglarious implements wers remarkable. He had several duguises. His favored role was that of a preacher ; he also went about frequently as a one-armed veteran ; hi* tool* were cleverly construct- ed ; several pieces of wood, about half an inch thick and one foot in length fastened one to the other with screw nails, conmi tut. ed his ladder, a hook on one end enabled him to oalch on to a convenient cornice, and, nimble as a cat, the old man he was nearly 60 year* of age speedily reached ths pnn- c-pal bedroom window. Peace's burglaries were perpetrated principally during the winter month*, and when the family were at dinner. Once in th* bedroom, Veao immediately looked the door, and inserted a smsll block of wood, V ahsped beneath it; he then secured the door to the jamb by a long screw nail, which had an elective hook on the end. To this a rope was attached, so that if flight was necessary, sverything was in readiness. In order to enter a room when the door wss looked. Peace invented an instrument somewhat like at exaggerated watch-key of the class that its all watches. With this he caught hold of the small por- tion of the door key that protrudes on the outside, then his key tightened upon it, so that it became the simplest thing in the world to open a locked door from the out- side. Without belonging to the aristocracy of tha detective world, which is undoubtedly Scotland Yard, "the llow street runner*" have a hiitory of their own little les* re- markable and equally full of intereit. CRITICAL DAYS OF 1895. DE. EVANS 1 OPEN LETTEE Carefully Investigated b> The Can- ada Farmers' Sun. MM. KiM-.ier and Her ratals Hi Miii.-innin < omul it'll In the Open letter The lror' trtloa ' Malting Ihe Fact* Kai.lir tiilit Ji.llflnt From The Farmer* 'Sun. In an open Istter published in The Can- ada Farmers' Son of Sep 10 over the signature of Dr. F.vans, of Elmwood, at- tention was called to rhe remarkable case of Miss Christina Koester, of North Brant, who was attended by the doctor in March, \>.92, when suffering from inflammation of the left lunsr, which subsequently develop- ed all the signs of consumption. In June of th* lame year she wasted to a skeleton, and wa* suffering from an intense cough with profuse expectoration of putrid mat- ter, accompanied by hectic fever. Her recovery waa despaired of until Dr. Evans, at a stage when other remedies had proved valueless, administered Dr. Williams' Pink Pill*. Within a week the symptoms had abated, and a month after the change of medicine Mis* Koester was able to drive la Elmwood, a distance of lix miles, and was in good health, except for the weak- ness occasioned by so long an illness. The publication of thu doctor's state- 11. eu. of which the above i* a condensa- tion, created considerable interest, espe- cially when it wa* rumored that Dr. Evan* wa* likely to be disciplined by the Medical Council for hi* action in certifying to ths efficacy of an advertised remedy. A rep- resentative of the CamaiU Farmers' Sun was commissioned to carefully investigate tha matter and ascertain how far the doctor's statements were corroborated by the patient's family. An interview with Christina Koester.her father and mother, was held at the home- stead in the Township uf North Brant. Mis* Koester i* a well developed, heilthy looking girl of eighteen year* cf age. She stated that she wa* now in ths enjoyment of perfect health and able to do her part in the labors of the farm, and had not since her cure hs>d any recurrence of her former trouble. Tado Koester, father of Christina, said that ths statement, as published in Dr. Evan*' open Utter as to hi* daughter** recovery, was correct. She wa* first taken ick about the 15th of March, 1893. "f inflammation of the lft lung, and aur treatment by Dr. Evans seemed to recover aljer about two weeks, but again relapsed with the apparently hopeless conditions decri'ued in ths letter. She was terribly wastsd. Every night she coughed up a large bowlful of fstid matter. The family had completely given up all hope* of her recovery, and for two nights sat up with her expecting that she would die. After beginning the Pink Pills a change for ths belter was speedily noticeable. The cough began to discontinue and in on* month had entirely ceased, when, as stated in tl doctor's letter she was sufficiently recover- ed to drive to Elmwood. She continued taking the pill* until October. Christina had been quite well since and this fall had been pitching sheave* and helping in the harvest field. Mrs. Koester concurred with her hus- band's Htateii'ent* throughout, and wss emphatic in testifying to Christina's reduc- ed and weakly condition at the crisis of the disease and the completeness of her recovery. In view of the corroberstion by Mis* Koester and her parents of th* statements msde in Dr. Evans' letter, all doubts in the matter must be Ml at rest, and the doctor'* action in giving the facts of this remarkable case to the public i* fully justified. Making an Impression. |-..r.-rel Is f* framed. a>4 Kveryfcealv Cast Walek Out. Prof. Rudolph Falb of Leipzig, the dis- coverer of the "critical days," in giving the nui.. ber, order, and dates for th* coming year in the Deutsche Kaiser- Kalender for I89o, status that the observations begun in Isti.'t convince him that the attraction of the moon and sun upon the waters of the lea bad a similar effect upon the ocean of the earth'* atmosphere, a* well as upon the liquid and volatile masse* contained in the interior of our globe. He discovered that great atmospheric disturbances, shocks of earthquake, and explosion* in mine* were burprisingly often the coincident with the lays upon which the molt extensive tide* and other oceanic commotions were caused by the influences of either m.iuu or sun, or both. These periods Prof. Falb distinguishes by the name of "critical ' .-," because they mark, on the one side, periodical " turning points" in the equilibrium of the neptunic, plulonic, and atmospheric mans* above mentioned, and on the other side afford the measure and means for comput- ing the degree and effect of lunar and solar forces upon oar planet. The individual coritellatioo* effecting each for itself an increase of these forces are: First, the perigee, that is the time when moon snd earth are nearest to one another; sejund, the moon'* equatorial pos- ition; third, the perihelion, when our globe is nearest the sun; fourth, the sun's equa- torial position; fifth, the syzygies, cr new moon and full moon; sixth, tno lunar or solar ellipses. The year 1895 will be especially notable for the fact of its th. j most critical "lays being accompanied by eclipsea. la men- tioning the dates in their different orders snd grade* of individual effectiveness. Prof. Falb takes care to state that the result* of the strongest attraction* often precede their "critical day*." a* theoretically com- puted, by one or two days, while those of lesser import may be from two to three days later than periodically fixed. The tatter may also be the case at the time of critical day* of the first order wh e ver long continuing and exteniive atmospheric pressure or eastern wind* prevailed pre- vious to those dale*. The f> Mowing are the "critical days" for 1895: Of the first order: Sept. 18, March 11, Aug. 20, Feb. 9, Oct. IS, April 9, July *2, and Jan. 11. Of the second order: May 9, Nov. 16, Match -Jti.
