IN POLITICS.
Count Boni de Castellan Branched Off
from Society.
(Spfdnl to The Post Coprrlfbt b) V. R Hnret
Ptris. April 14 That Count Boni de Cas-
tellane. the husband of Anna Gould ahould
ever have taken an Interest In anything
beyond the pleaaarea of aoclety and en-
joyment of life or that he should have
been taken seriously by others. Is a thing
which must Parisians would have refused
to believe.
But the incredible has happened. Count
Boni has evidently reformed and is taking
aa active Interest in politic. His voice is
heard quite often in the chamber mostly
when foreign politic is being debated
and his remark are often greeted with
applause. There are many here who be-
lieve that the count la preparing to enter
the diplomatic service and that It is hia
ambition to become French ambassador to
Washington.
Prominent French newspapers have late-
ly quite often contained articles on foreign
political subjects from Count Donl'a pen
and aince tbe Russian defeat at Mukden
ha ban. In the column of the Figaro come
oat atrongly in favor of an understanding
or even an alliance between Russia. France
and Great Britain against the Japanese.
Ha l fanatic in his hatred of Oermanv.
nd firmly believes though he doe not I
make It clear why that the kaiser brought
OS tha present war. At the present the
Count' follower are few but his evident
! earnestness which has surprined every-
body nay in time make him a leader who
must be taken Into consideration.

SETTING THE EXAMPLE.
French Social Leader Reconciling Old
Stock With Present Power.
(Special to Th Post. Copyright sy W . Roam)
Paris. April 15. The prince and princes
of Tarante who are Inconteatably the lead-
ers of high society in France and certain-
ly the greatest nobles In their country
seem inclined to make an effort toward re-
conciling their fellow nobles with the par-
ty at present in power here. They have
been tho first to open their salon to the
official world. Within tbe same week they
have had as their guest at dinner M. Dou-
mer president of the chamber of deputies
and M. Etlenne minister of the Interior.
The example Bet by the prince and prin-
cess de Tarante will be followed by nu-
merous young aristocratic couples who are
desirous of freeing themselves from the
fetters of superannuated prejudice. They
are tired of being nobodle in their own
country. They have decided to break
through the prejudice of caste and If not
to humor all the foolish whims of repub-
lican origin at least to measure themselves
against the men of their own time upon
their own ground; that Is to say tha field
of republicanism. The day will coma when
all these young people will be grateful to
Prince and Princess de Tarante for having
led the way.

All this winter and aprtng tha neighbor-

shot him dead oat of mer blood thlrety

Ta next day th police began to bunt

A battle took place la which one bandit
and four gendarme were killed. The earn
band a few daya later captured robbed
aad bald tor ransom aad Armenian mer-
chant Thla happened within 100 yard
of a Coeaack poet
The bandit largely owe their tacceaa to
following von Moltke' maxim "March
separately and fight together." Leaving
their horaea la tha mountain aad putting
on what they call "Russian" clothes they
enter towns In daytime on by one and
commit their robberle together after
dark.
A few day ago a Russian tea merchant
waa robbed of "000 roubles in broad day-
light In the main street of Elisabethpol.
Women play a great part In these out-
rage. "Blue Maria." as the Russian
from the blue black bair called a pretty
Georgian girl who used to visit Vladikae-
kaa haa been the heroine of several bloody
affairs. Her function wsa to spy out the
town study the movements of the police
and bring back report aa to Intended
Journey of men worth robbing. This work
he accomplished so well that a (core of
traveler were robbed and in some cases
murdered by her band during one winter.
When this gang was at laat dispersed tbe
police found nailed to a looking glass In
the bandit girl's compartment of the rob
bora' cave the ear of no let than (even
unfortunate traveler. Maria' associate
treated their captives with Inhuman fe-
rocity roasting one alive over a low fir
cutting off tbe nose of another and walling
up a third by rolling a rock against the
mouth of a cave. Maria finally escaped to
Peraia.
Another case tried not long ago at Tlfll
showed that women aide with men. and at
Vladtkavkaa only last month an almost in-
credible case of robbery took place In
which all Implicated were women in male
garment.
At 1 in the morning four individual
masked and armed with rifles rode Into
the town and entered the house of Yeplm
Morosoff a small merchant. Having se-
cured 2000 roubles in cash and bonds these
robbers broke into Morosoff' bed room or-
dered him to hand over hla personal valu-
ables threatening him with death If he
gave tbe alarm.
But the moment Morosoff heard tbe door
close behind bis unwelcome visitors he
gave the alarm. Horses being secured a
posse of armed men went In pursuit and.
after an hour's hard riding the depera-
doea were sighted. A hot fusilade ensued
and a running fight was kept up for sev-
eral minute. At last two of the bandits
were knocked from their saddles and the
horse of a third killed.
Much to the surprise of the police no
farther resistance was made. But their
surprise was greater still whtn tearing
off th outlaws' masks they were con-
fronted not by bearded brigands but by
young Carcasslan women all under 25.
Tbe fourth the leader of the band es-
caped to the mountain.
"Tb brigands" says the Tlflis Listok
"regard themaelvea not aa criminals but
at legitimate military opponents of the
government." The truth of this saying
may be Judged from the following: Last
year a Colonel Vasilieff who had made
hlmaelf obnoxious by the vigor of hi acts
of repression received a polite note from
a notorious murderer named Nabahadte
Inviting him to bring aix Cossacks to. a
given spot and meet the tame number of
brigands In mortal combat.

culated here that the kaiser who went
to Blclly In search of With la seriously
HI and la said to have spotted fever.
The official papers hare thua far Issued
no denial of the rumor but only la a gen-
eral way assured that the kaiser It in the
beat of bealth. but If the excitement con-
tinues an official denial will be absolutely
necessary.
It is known that tbe dread disease once
known aa black death haa been raging in
Sicily for some time and that many 11-
andera have died from It. but a far aa
I know no casea have been reported from
the neighborhood of Taormlna. the place
selected by the kaiser to spend his vaca-
tion. Where the report of the kaiser's illness
originated I have not been able (o ascer-
tain though many say that it came from
England Germany's old sreh-enemy; but
then Germans always think that everything
bad comes from that country.
Whoever did start the rumor haa. cer-
tainly every reason to feel satisfied with
the result aa seldom has anything created
such a stir here. Had a war broken out
the excitement could not he greater.
There are a good many rases of spotted
fever in the oouthe.ll par? of Germany
and the assertion of physicians that the
disease sttarks only those a hose system la
run down tss mado matters worse. The
kaiser was very much in need of a rest
when he left here having overtaxed hla

gayety. To take the matter seriously
there are however unquestionable ad-
vantage in woman betng associated with
the admlnlatratlon of tbe law. We may
well ask ouraelves what would be tha ap-
propriate punishment for magistrates who
sent children under it to prison and nib
our eyes and ask whether It Is possible thst
"Justices" ran be found to commit such a
monstrous miscarriage of the spirit of the
law. But. alas! there are now many of
ttch to be found in thla country. Last
year no fewer than eight little children
of tender years were committed to Jail
for "Crimea" brought to the notice of the
bench In various parts of Englsnd. Imag-
ine tbe folly of holding children of 10 and
11 responsible for their actions In a legal
sense! How 1 It possible to consider them
isw breakers when they know uothjng of
Isw? No child Is allowed to appeal to the
law In Ma own person nnd for hit own de-
fense. How can the law then be applied
to him and the poor little baby committed
for punishment? If such blots on our legis-
lation are not removed surely It Is time
thst women who sre undoubtedly the best
guardians of children should be given
soma power tn the administration of Jus-
tice. VERNE AS A MAN.
Hs snd Hie Wlfa Lived In Modal Devotion
and Happiness.
(Soeciil to The Toil. Copyright by W. I. Hearst.)
London April 16. No more devoted
couple have ever lived a happier life to-
gether than M. and Mme. Jules Verne and
It was therefore with all the deeper re-
gret that we learned that the great writer
who waa the delight of many generations
of young and old waa dead.
This celebrated and romantic author en-
joyed during hi whole life extraordinary
health and he attrlouted this to bis ex-
tremely simple diet
He made his meals principally of eggt
and groen vegetables and drank only milk.
He went to bed for year at o'cir
and rose with the dawn and in winter
long before the dawn. He always collab-
orated with his wife.
For hour he and Mme. Verne would lit
and discuss the plot of hit book. Indeed
It ht been said that ber part in It was
always to tell him that each book waa bet-
ter than the laat and each story when It
was still immature likely to be hit beat.
What better help Is there in work than
affectionate praise? It la what the world
Is wanting and If there were more thus
ready to give the needed encouragement
more great men and women would be pro-
duced. Jules Verne always determined to give
bis hook a happy ending. "My first prin-
ciple" he say. "Is never to allow tha
reader to aeo what I coming and alwaya
to leave him Joyful" and Jules Verne cer-
