JEANNE WEBER, Like a Terrible Monster of the Mediaeval Jjgen&t 7 WHOSE TOUCH SLAYS. itwir! Child, No* Arretted for a The Case Recalls the Most Fantastic legends of Ogresses, Who Dwelt in Caves in the Woods and Feasted on the Blood of Children. The case of "The Ogress of Montmarte" is again causing the deepest emotion and rage among the population of Paris. The ogress whose actual name is Jeanne Weber, is held responsible by the inhabitants of Montmarte and of Paris generally for causing the * death of at least five children, and ; yet there is no reasonable explanation how she killed any of them. One child after another, who 1 came in contact with the otrress of Montmarte died suddenly and mys- ! teriously, as if some invisible force had stopped its life. There was never any sign of violence on the body and the doctors called in were unable to state the cause of ^eath with any certainty. Ail that* was known positively was that Madame Jeanne Weber had touched them upon the breast. The case recalls the most fantastic medieval legends of ogresses, who dwelt in caves in the woods and feasted on the blood of children, and of the historical Marshal de Retz, of the fifteenth century who destroyed hundreds of children in order to minister to a perverted appetite for blood. The parents of the dead children are convinced that Jeanne Weber took their lives and the common peo: i 'iL |ji*: nave ucw?iic bu nnpit'bbeu wilii i the idea, that the woman would be ' in danger of lynching if she were 1 not safely lodged in jail. On the 1 other hand, all the Judges, doctors and educated men, who have in- < vestigated the cases, are satisfied ( there was no legal evidence against : her. i Mme, Weber is a heavily built 1 stolid looking woman, who excites 1 repulsion in all who come inTcontact i with her on account of her sickly smile, her long yellow teeth and her j sallow complexion, She expresses i Ian overwhelming fondness for all 1 children and loves to fondle them, i While she dose so, she gurgles with | delight and utters loud expressions < of endearment. i The first child whose death is attributed to Mme. Weber was Cecile ! Pereyborne, a girl of three years. She was the child of neighbors of I the Webers, living in the quarter of < Montmarte. Mme. Weber lived at < that time at No. 53 Rue des Trois < Freres, Montmarte, and the Perey- ] bornes lived at No. 57 in the same i street. She offered to come in and i take care of the child whenever M me. s Pereyborne wished to go anywhere, aud the busy mother was glad to ' accept the offer. I "I am happy to spend all day playing with the dear little thing.'*' said Mme. Weber. "I love her so." The girl was frightened when the ogress first smiled at her, but the woman quickly overcame the little ones fears witn presents of candy. One after noon the mother went away on a long shopping errand, i Li?n caving uei uaugunT in me care 01 i Madame Weber. When she return- ' ed the child was lying motionless ' on her back, while the ogress was < pressing her hand on her chest. "What are you doing?" cried the < mother. i "I was feeling her heart to see if it was still beating," said Madame 1 Weber, "I am afraid she is very ill." < The terrified mother ran to her s child and found that she was dead. 1 The doctor who was called could not 1 decide positively what was the cause . of death. The little girl had been i perfectly healthy up to the time the mother left her. Her face 1 wore and expression as if she had < died in great agony or terror. 1 This case did not attract grave suspicion to Madame Weber, hut a year later three children whom she < nad been fondling died mysteriously 1 within two months and one one nar- 1 rowly escaped. Then the outcry be- i gan and the ogress was arrested. She passed four months in prison 1 while the authorites were gathering evidence concercing the strange fa- : talities. Then her case was sent to i the Court of Assizes. The first < judge, President Favre, to whom i the case was presented, refused to 1 hear it on the ground that there was i no legal evidence against Mme. Weber, bat another judge, President < L Bertulus, took it up. I L She first child to perish among J this new batch of victims was her * nephew, Maurice Weber, aged < three, the child of her husband's ' oldest brother. Mme. Weber al- 1 Tsneuto take care of the I child, and it was said that on the ^^^Bday of his death she persuaded the < ^^^^Hbother to go away on a long visit to < country. The child was found ' ^ ^^1 from no known disease. His ) bore the same marks of agony i previous case, and a neigh ^^^^^^^kclared that she had seen Mme. her hand over his heart. ^^^^^B^^BMme Weber's own baby son 1 same sudden and mystor.

"The boy looked as if he were half dead, said the mother, "but he revived as soon as I took him in my arms." The next victim was Alice Weber, aged three, the child of another brother of her husband. This was one of the most peculiar cases of all, and largely helped to ensure the release of Madame Weber. The little girl had been strong and healthy nearly all her life, but just before her death she had had an attack of gastroenteritis. She recovered from this completely, and on the morning of her death she was playing on the street in a very lively manner. She partook of a very hearty lunch, consisting of soupe aux legumes, pork chops, salad, wine and in the afternoon she was taken suddenly ill. Her mother wished to give her ipecac, the drug which the doctor had reccomended in such emergencies and asked Madame Weber if she would go to the druggist, but she insisted that the mother should go out while she stayed and looked after the child. i ne motner was absent about 10 minutes, and when she returned she found her daughter dying in great agony, with the ogress bending over her. Then a terrible scene .occurred. The mother, recalling all the other deaths of her children accused Madame Weber of being a murderess. The latter replied that it was a wicked, cruel lie, that she loved the children better than their awn mothers and that they died because their parents did not take proper care of them. Meanwhile little Alice Weber was dying in ?reat pain and in two hours passed away. That night Madame Weber was arrested. The body of Alice Weber was retained bv the public authorities and the bodies of the three ?ther dead children were exhumed. Nothing was found on any of them to show how they had met death. An examination of Alice Webersbody indicated that she had recovered Li v/hi iici IIU^, UUIM11I SI1L* was liable to an attack of accute indigestion. The police and prosecuting oflicers searched for every scrap 3f evidence that would make a case against the ogress, because they wished to satisfy the public clamor, hut they accomplised little in their four months of work. There were plenty of witnesses convinced that she had murdered the children and anxious to testify against her. The belief that she was really an ogress who spent her life destroying children had spread through Montmartre and caused immense popular excitement. The fact that Madame Weber was frequently seen placing her hand upon the breast of the dead children was mentioned by several witnesses. 3ne of them declared that "She pinched the heart" (pincait le coeur) af the children to kill them, and this belief gained general credence among the neighbors, although the act is apparently an impossible one. /\noiner witness declared that she had seen Madame Weber leaning 3ver Maurice Weber's face, as if she were sucking his breath. This seemed a more feasible act than that of pinching the heart, but in every case a doctor had examined the dead body and found no indication of death by suffocation. At the trial Drs. Brouardel and rhoinon, two of the most eminent physicians in Frtmce, who appeared Dn behalf ot the state, declared that there was not a shadow of medical evidence against Madame Weber. Dr. Brouardel spent several hours explaining that the death of a little is child frequently due to some slight cause, and that it was not neccesary to look for a grave disease, such jus was to be expected in the case of an adult. He suggested that the deaths were due to the habits of life pre vailing among these familes. He dwelt strongly upon the meal of vegetable soup, pork chops, salad, coffee, wine, etc., as responsible for the loss of little Alice Weber. The nublie nrrwerntnr M Soli<r. mann, declared that there was no case against Madame Weber. Counsel for the defence made a very brief address, in which he spoke of the accusation as ridiculous, and the jury returned a fverdict of "Not guilty" in three minutes. This verdict was greeted with bitter disapproval among the people in court and outside and there were loud cries of : "A bas l'ogresse!" The woman needed the protection of the police when she went away from the court. She was forced to leave Montmartre and went to another quarter of Paris, concealing her address as well as possible from her former neighbors. XT inow aiier an interval of two /ears Mme. Jeanne Weber has been wrested dti suspicion of causing the death of a neighbor's child, who perished exactly the same manner as all the other children. The last victim is littie Alphonse I'oirier. living at 14 rue des Boulets, in the quarter of Charonne. It does not seem credible that six occurrences of this character, with Mme. Weber taking the ?me part in all of them, are all accidental and disconnected. This is lot in accord with the calculus of probabilities as I'oe would have expressed it. The people are more than ever convinced that Mme. Weber is a Ireadful ogress, and the scientific Tien arebeinc convprlml thn relief. It is pointed out that there s a hideous form oi mental perverlicn, in which a person takes delight n watching the dying agonies of ihildren, and that several cases of .his characterTiave occurred in re?nt and in earlier times.

MANY HOUSES DOWN And Thousands of People Die of Exposure.?The Empress Dowager Has Instructed the Governors of Neighboring Provinces to Send Relief at Once to the Distressed People, Who I/ost Their Homes. Four thousand people were killed in an earthquake in the province of Hslng Klang, China, recently. The first news of the catasrophe was brought to America last week by the steamer Shawmut on its arrival at Victoria, B. 0. The officers report that a telegram announcing the disaster was received at Tokio, Japan, from Pekin, just before the vessel set sail. It reported that many inhabitants of the province were left without homes and food by the -.saster and that suffering was intense. The province of Using Kiang lies in the tibet region, and comprises nearly the whole df Central Asia. It is thickly populated, but beyond all telegraphic communication. The news of the disaster was carried for many miles by runners before it could be telegraphed to the empress dowager at Pekin. Urgent instructions were issued to the governors of nelghtboring provinces to take measures to relieve the distress. It is now reported that thousands of injured lost their lives through exposure and hunger and on account of lack of proper care. The entire city of Hsing Kiang, capital of the province of the same name, is in ruins, it is located in the northern part of the province in a deep valley surrounded on all sides by towering mountains of volcanic origin. It is one of the most remote of Chinese cities and the home of the most progressive architects of the era pire. Many of its buildings are construct ed from stone and brick, manufactured by crude devices. The city itself is surrounded by a wall. Most of the buildings were thrown down, crushing their occupants to death in their crowded quarters. The town wall is also in ruins. Hsing is the capital of a province which has nd area of 585,500 square miles. Its valleys are fertile beyond description. Its inhabitants are numbered by millions, though the exact number has never been ascertained. Under ordinary conditions food could he supplied from the province, but ] all supplies that could be spared have been disposed of for the relief of famine stricken regions. A MOltAli yUKSTIOX. Milwaukee May Have Public Trysting Places for Young People. Milwaukee is facing a perplexirtg problem of morals, which effects the lives of its young girls and boys. The common council has decided t hat something must he done to save them from lives of ruination and shame. "What can be done?" in the question that has called forth many suggestions. One man has suggested that the city should provide public trysting places where young girls and boys may meet and have a jolly good time In a clean atmosphere and under the supervision of proper chaperons. Their they do their courting, if they are at the courting age. If they are not old enough to do courting, they could have a merry time without the danger of immoral practices. It is probable that something along tne lino or puniic cuius or trysting places will ho providod by the city. Just what its character will he, has not boon (leeidod. It may be that the schoolhouses will he used as meeting places. One prominent schoolteacher condemns clubs and says children should he taught to stay at home. WHOLE TOWN AT ODDS. Difference of Opinion Concerning .lie Whipping of Hoy by Teacher. The arrest and lining of Miss Carolyn Schultz, teacher in the Harlan i school, at Oolwein, la., for whipping Williard Cook, a pupil, has caused the principal of the school and Miss Schultz's fellow teachers to go on a strike. As tne whipping occurred outside of the teacher's classroom, the judge held that she overstepped her jurisdiction. The case will be appealed to the District court. The hoy in the case exhibited black and blue marks over much of his entire body. Miss Schultz said she whipped the children with a piece of rubber hose, following out the instructions of a former principal, and that she had never been told to cease this form of punishment. The children are having a holiday and the population of the town is divided on the question. l'l'THlAX KD1TOKS NAMED. Members of the Journal's Publication J Hoard Chosen. Grand Chhncelor Mendel L.

Tim Fitting Climax of the (front I ' timbering of the Veterans in Iticli- ! iiiond, Their Old Capital. Under a perfect sky. with bands | playing crashing music in which i * '"Dixie" and "Maryland" were preeminent, the remnants of the ar;..ies of the grey passed through the streets of Richmond and out on splendid Mountain avenue, and unveiled an enduring memorial to Jefferson Davis, the first and only president of the Confederate States of America. The event came as tlie climax of the reunion of the United Confederate Veterans, and every e member of the body of old men who 0 was able to walk at all took part. . The day and the event is one that s' live forever in the memory of those who were present, and the expres- . sions of beautiful sentiment which . were uttered by the speakers are des- i .' i;i -* * * - w ucuuuic u |*41 rl ui me msiory " of the south. Second only to the tribute given ? to the memory of Dixie Land's grent ' cnieftain were those offered on every 0 hand to the southern women, whose ? gift the monument is. The ceremony ^ was one of the south. No other sectlou had any part in it. The Voter- " ans who fought for the "lost cause" * were gathered together to pay their s tribute to the man whose memory is revered above all others. Their de- ' cendants were assembled because it '' Is bred in them to cherish that mem- ? ory and because they wished to im- *" bibe new lessons. The speeches n counselled the teaching of loyalty to h the cause for which the southern E states struggled: but there was noth- J", ing in the teachings but what ex- ' cited the sympathy of visitors from " other sections. * One of the most touching incidents 11 or ine day was the presentation of ? the decendants of Mr. Davis to the n great throng. h This occurred at the conclusion of the program.

The great crowd cheer- <1 ed each one enthusiastically and kept tt Mrs. Hayes to the front of the stand hi many minutes bowing acknowledgements to their plaudits.

T1 The unveiling of the monument ai was the fruition of eighteen years of w patient and loving effort, and every man who wore the southern uniform <U had in his heart a desire to he pre- kt ?ent.
