INFATUATION OF A COSSACK.

The love affairs of a dashing Cos sack officer, who formerly held a commission in General Wrangel's army, have ended in his suicide at ap hotel at which he had been living: in Paris.

The ex-Russian officer, Procopa Ivanoff, who was 32 years of age, tall and good-looking, last his for tune in the war and took refuge in France, where for a time he earned his living as a chauffeur.

Last July Ivanoff made the acquaintance of a beautiful Russian woman, Mme. Margoulis, the wife of a stock-broker's clerk. He fell madly in love with her and begged her to elope with him. For a while she hesitated, but then she called on him and declared that she had made up her mind that she could not do.

She pleaded with him not to do so, but as she was about to un lock the door and leave he pulled a revolver from his pocket and shot himself behind the right ear.

Mt. Muskett then entered upon the most entertaining part of his statement-a description of how car. tain police constables and their women friends enjoyed the expe- sive side of night life in London.

Ten minutes after midnight on Sunday morning, November 21st, a police-constable with four other per- Bons (one man and three women) went to the club, of which none of the party was a member..
