"Tha remark recently came to my

He must be an expert in the matter of

"Tha principal determines whether

be brave about dismissing .Incompetent

"He ought to tie able to athnulate

the authorities, but to the, teachers
themselves.

brought to an abrupt conclusion when
La Hevnle presented evidence against
Mme. de Monteapan of a character ao
elnexpreasibly shocking that0Uls XIV
waa obliged to dissolve' the court per
manently .to prevent its presentation.
In the voluminous reports, ' relating
to La Volaln, made by tha police,- al

that period la besmirched or made ridic

It was supposed that ' the drug with

Five hundred half louts-d'orr-4,00Q pis

' The Duke of Luxembourg, Inspired
by tha auccesa of the Duke of Orleana,
arranged also with La Volaln, upon
payment of a Targe atm of money, for
an Introduction to the devil. The ap-

the duke so ridiculous, aa -4o put La
Reynle on tha alert and causa him to
exercise closer surveillance over the

that time on account of the pqwerful
coterie which protected her. -
Tha young Count de S-tv disguised
as a woman, called upon La Volaln; to
pfocure polaon to kill, aa ha pretended,
three horses which ha -had won on a
wager from hla brother-in-law, and who
refuaad to deliver them up. La Volsln
understood .the allegory; aha divined

of a "love doll," some ot the king's hair,

purchased poison with- which to poison

would report the visits of auch and such

were almost Invariably followed, In a
day or two-, by the ajldden death of a

In Paria, 4n tha autumn of 17, there
was a veritable uprising of the crtlsane,

was accepted as a jjenulne manifestation
of her control over the unknowable

Emmanuel Theodose de la Tour,
Prlaoo 4a Bouillon, cardinal at tha ago
of 1 J, and grand almoner t of France
when not much older, when his cupidity
was Aroused waa-Jiot the man to heal
tate at any means, however extravagant
or criminal, to satisfy It. Hardly had
he atumento--hia lofty ecclesiastical
preferments than; disguised aa a Savoy
ard, he sought the assistance of La
Volsln. Thla astute woman waa not de
ceived by the travesty. She quickly
penetrated tha inoognlto, and knowing
that It concealed a great dignitary with
the fovenuea of the church at hla com
mand she determined to make him pay
dearly- for tha gratification of hia
fancies. ' Tha prinoa had conceived the
Idea that -the great Marechal Turenne,
whose nephew and heir he was, not
withstanding - the unselfishness for
which the great captain was noted, waa
a ,hypocrlte and had conoealed, to the
great Injury' of tha. cardinal, Immenae
loot acquired in hla various campalgna.
Thla Ignoble eatlmata of the con
queror of - tha great Conde seemed to
the cardinal go entirely in harmony
with hla own code of morals that he
determined, no, matter what ahould be
tha cost, to leave nothing undone to ef
fect the discovery of tba whereabouts
of the concealed treasure ao adroitly
hidden that even Turenne'a ' closest
personal attendanta had no knowledge
of tt. hlr death onthe, field of battle
precluding opportunity to eonflde tha
aecret to any one.
To aeeure the coveted rlchee ha
aought tha. aid of La Volsln. It must
be said to her credit that when the
sacrilegious " nephew ' unfolded his
schema, In astonishment, ahe naked him
if he had not gone mad. What amazed
even La Volsln. accustomed' aa aha was
to the fantastlo hallucinations of a de.
generate clientele; waa that the grand
-almoner of Franco should consider It
the most simple thing In the world to
accomplish. He laughed at her hesita
tion and ridiculed her Impoteney.
What raillery failed to accomplish,
tha offer of a large bribe effected. - He
promised her CO.000 francs If she would
evoke tba spirit of Turenne, ana ieo,ouo
franca additional it It revealed tha hid
ing Dlace or tne goio. piate, jewels ano
the gems which the great captain had
ontomoea. - -
' La Volaln waa avaricious; tha 16,000
franca - conquered . her scruples and
doubta. She promised that notwith
standing the difficulties attending tba
enterprise, it might be possible for ner
to evoke the spirit of tha great captain

however, that one-half of the promised
reward should be paid In advance and
the balance placed In the keeping of the
abbe -de Chotay. to be given ber even
if tha Ignoble nephew obtained but a
gllmpsa of bla illustrious relative.
Moroover, ahe exacted a delay of. two
weeks in order to prepare the potent
conjuration necessary to restore the
dead to Ufa. She also Insisted -that the
Incantation ahould be performed- In
absolute secrecy, that only herself. La
Sage, a priest, and tne cardinal snouia
be present; but the latter, who was
timid, insisted 'that he ahould ba ac
companied by -two of tha gentlemen of
hla household, the one a captain In tba
army, and the other a person-ot great
beauty who was In his employ In the
three capacltlea of secretary, swords
man and companion. The registers of
police are voluminous in regard to the
turpitude oi tne grand aimone..
La Volaln at last eonsented to these
conditions, but she waa firm In Insist
ing that tha evocation should take place
in the vaulta of tha Abbey of bl Denia.
Thla aeemed a strange locality to
choose, and one difficult to penetrate;
however, the' power of a oardlnal, a
grand almoner and nephew of Turenne
was great. The exercise or thla power,
a bribe of a hundred platolss, and, a
promised annuity of 100 franca removed
r - " -'- "
cardinal and hla suite, that they might
pass a portion of the night In pray.r
at the tomb of Turenne. why La Volaln
selected tha- abbey for the performance
of the tncsntatlqn wss not known until
later on, wheg It wae discovered that
nor relations witn tne sexton were aa
close as were those with Sanson, tha
public exeout loner- if' Parla. Moreover,
the sexton waa to. play a very Important
part In tha perpetration of the fraud.
A Friday night, and tha thirteenth
of the month, waa selected for tha carry
ing out .of the enterprise.- Tha group
consisted of the cardinal, his two at
tendants, -La Volsln, her maid, a nsgro
porter who carried the magical appa
ratus tO'ba used to evoke the spirit -of
tha great oaptafft, and two priests, Le
Sage and d'Avaux, -aooompllc.s of La
Volsln, .a-ho were to aay a mass back
ward. To avoid axoltlng suspicion, the
various persons composing tha coterie
made their way one by one to tha abbey,
where the sextan waa awaiting them.
Bv a subterranean passage between his
hmiae-and-the huroh- ha admitted the
sacrilegious band to the vaulta.

JUDGE WEBSTER'S
SANITARY JAUNT
There will ba no buslneas In Judge
Webster's -court tomorrow.- The Judge
will go to tba county poor farm, ac
companied by Dr. Woods -Hutchinson,
and determine upon the location- ot tba
new septlo tank that haa been adopted
for use there aa, a- substitute for tha
ordinary sewerage system. -
Thla septlo tank, which la a com
paratively new invention for ' tho dis
posal ibf sewage, I tha same that was
about V year-ago- built for the-.aayhira
at Balem pa recommendation of Pr.
Hutchinson. It has been in use there
a year and proved highly satisfactory.
The aame method was recently adopted
at Portland sanitarium at Mt. Tabor,'
where complaint had been made to
Health Officer Evans concerning tba sew
age system.
The septlo .tank Is an air-tight tank
about SxlO feet, in dimension! and re
ceives all the garbage from the Insti
tution it serves. Tha theory ia that tha
bacteria, being confined without air, be
come abnormally active and proceed to
devour tha sewage and then destroy
themselves, leaving nothing ut water
In the tank.'- This water, by a almple
principle of Inlet and outlet, la kept all
the time at the same stags in the tank,
and It never gathers sediment nor be
comes full. Ita sxtreme simplicity and
moderate coat are given aa reasons for
Its adoption. It la aald that the tank
to be put -in at tha poor farm, to take
care of the waste of f 00 people, will not
cast over $150.
