Mlle. Cambaceres, a descendant of the
famous French general and a member
of one of the leading families in the
Argentine capital, under most dis

correspondent of the New York Her

The unfortunate young lady had just
turned 18 years of age. and her birth
day was celebrated by a grand recep
tion. All her friends came to offer
their congratulations and brought
presents.
Tn the evening Mlle. Cambaceres
went up tn her room to ¿re.«* for the
opera. She was in the act of putting
on her hat. when she fell to the
ground, apparently dead.
The funeral took place within -4

The evil of monopolies and rings
was known to the ancients, Aristotle,
referring to them in his “Politics,'' and
then, as now, it was found necessary to
hold them in check by legislation. The
monopolist was in Boman law called a
Dardanarius. and published under the
Lex Julia de Annona, says London
Answers. Monopolies of clothing, fish
and all articles of food were prohibited
by EmperoT Zeno under pain of con
fiscation and exile; so that it is certain
that the “ring»" of the ancient days
were as mischievous as those of to-day.
At Athens a law limited the amount of
corn a man might buy. The earliest
recorded instance we have was a corn
“ring.”
There is an ancient tradition that
the king who made Joseph his prime
minister and committed into his hands
the entire administration of Egypt was
Apepi.
Apepi was one of the shep
herd kings and ruled over the whole
of Egypt, as Joseph’s Pharaoh seems
to have done. The prime minister, dur
ing seven years of remarkable plenty,
bought up every bushel of corn bey ond
the absolute needs of the Egyptians
and stored it. During the terrible fam
