DEATH OF THE 18ARS
ACHIEF SPY.
EXTRAORDINARY. CAREER OF AN UNSCRUPULOUS ADVENTURESS.
Emma Bellomo, the Tsar's most daring spy, has been murdered. The story of her career reads like a novel.
She was born (says a writer in the Liverpool Daily Post) the daughter of a poor peasant. At the age of fourteen she was employed as a household drudge in a bourgeois family at Nice Endowed with a personal beauty precocious as the development of her mental powers, she began to realise that both might be used in such a world as this for the attainment of rank and power. She was grossly ignorant, and the first step upward was the improvement of her education. She waited for two years, and then saw her first chance and took it. Battista Pisani fell in love with her, and asked her to be married to him. He was only a "practicien," a mason; but he was a man somewhat superior to his environment in scholarship, and Emma saw in him her opportunity. She married him, and when he had taught her all he knew she became very exacting. To provide her with what she wanted he turned coiner, and eventually had to leave the country to escape the police.
Madame Pisani, then went to Nice, where heme the Count della Torre, who at once fell a victim commini davaliness and charm of manner. She ensnared him, attached
revival of enthusiasm on the local turf by the representatives of the familiar "blue" and silver."
The morning opered bright, and drew quite a large gathering of sports to the Course, while tfic number of ladies present was well up to the average for so early in the season. The griffins went for a few spins, and the best times
made were as follows:-

EARLY BIRD
This morning, as usual on Saturdays, quite a crowd of sporting folk put in an appearance at the rails. The long expected match between Desert King and Little ¿femo was somewhat of a fiasco. The little skewbald went down to the post in a very scratchy manner, and never at any part of the journey seemed to be able to extend himself. Desert King won with the greatest of case by about a length and a half and was not at all distressed when he came back' to weigh in. Mr. G. K. H. Brunton, the owner of Little Momo, elected to ride himself, so the panics were both carrying level weights, viz, 11-5. The time was very slow-2.25, but no doubt the King could have done better as Mr. Gresson was hanking his head off the first three quarters of a mile in an endeavour to hold him behind Little Monso.
Some of the sub-griffins showed really fine form, despite the fact that the grass-course was a little holding in parts.
Gresson's spotted, boy up, Johnstone's gray, owner up, and Cruickshank's black, Gresson were sent a mile, which they rattled off in having such a big pull in the weights, managed to hold his end up in the run in, and the other two finished together.
by the Japanese, the port will be at their mercy, Tha 203 Metre Hill is situated to the north. west of the City. From its summit the troops can command either the back or the flank of Itsushan, Antsushan, and Tayankao. Nama koyama, Hachimakiyamın, the 174 Motio Hill, and 121 Metre Hill ure just below it. The hill directly commands the old city, the new city, and all the shipping refuges in the western and eastern harbours. It will be easy for the Japanese to fire from this hill upon the back slopes of Itsusian and Ansushan, and upon Pigeon Bay, and when once Pigeon Bay is commanded by Japanese artillery it will no longer be possible for provisions to be conveyed to the Russians. The 203 Metre Hill is not in the main line of batteries, but the Japanese had to occupy it as soon as possible in order to be able to destroy the Russian fleet in the
harbour. It is believed that the Russian war
ships are now at the mercy of the Japanese, and that Admiral Togo's vessels will very shonly be able to direct their entire attention to the welcoming of the Baltic Squadron.

So from that time she became known to the world as the "grande dame," the Countess della Torre. When the Count died he left her the whole of his im- mense fortune, and society throw open wide its doors to her.
H.E. the Governor's little bine dun, John stone up, was also sent along for a nice work ing gallop. He negotiated three quarters of a mile in 1.48, last quarter 33, and finished full of running.

Among the things prohibited are, gam- bling, licentiousness, helping in lawsuits. One other is worthy of note. There must be no quarrelling with other sects. Both the com- mandments and the prohibition are very good, though opinions might differ as to the order of merit. However, the Chinese will be made better by becoming good converts of the Japanese Buddhist missionaries.
