SUICIDE'S JOKES BEFORE

"DEATH.

"I MUST BE GAS-PROOF."

Remarkable farewell letters writ tea before he committed suicide were read at the inquest on Thomas David Cunnington, a valet, at Westminster, S.W., last month. The coroner said that in his letters Cunnington cracked jokes about his death-------

believe a photograph of King Edward in close proximity to a Lottle of wine caused something of

stir at Court, but public opinion has advanced since then. Why should not the Prines of Wales be allowed champagne? Moreover, my uriginal sketch has been approved by the Prince's staff at York House, who gave me permission to include H.R.H."

When Mr. Robinson included the Prince in a previous group, the Prince found fault. It depicted an evening at the National Sporting Club.

I-dont-know much about paint ing, said the Prince, but don't you think my collar is a little too high? It has the effect of making my neck look short. But it is not your fault. It's those laundry people who have washed my collars all wrong."

The rink picture, which includes about 150 figures, has taken five months to paint.

TRUNK MURDER MYSTERY.

INNOCENT MAN'S SIX MONTHS IN PRISON.

A Paris murder mystery, 50 baffling that it has split the "coun- try into opposing camps, like the famous Dreyfus case, had a drama: tic climax on April 4, when M. Donat-Guigue, the Publie Prosecu- tor, announced that he would ask the High Court of Indictment to quash all the charges against a humble American tailor-named Al- mazian, who had been under arrest for the past six months in connec tion with the Rigaudia trunk affair.

The body of Rigaudin, a Paris accountant, and lover of Almazian's wife, was found strangled in a wicker-basket-trunk in the Nord Station last September, It had been sent as registered baggage by a-person whom the railway em ployees did not remember and the name and address on the tab proved false."

BOMB BY POST.

RACING COUPLE'S NARROW ESCAPE.

Count Jacques de Vienne-a well- known figure on the French turf and his wife have had a narrow escape from being killed by a bomb which was sent to the countess by parcel post. ·

They were having breakfast when the valet brought in, the post- some letters and four small parcels.

One parcel was a box 10 inches long, wrapped in paper and bearing the name of the Countess.

As the Countess was opening the parcel a small fame came out of

it.

The surprised Countess threw the. parcel from her, and it exploded before reaching the floor.

Bits flew in all directions, but happily neither she or her husband was injured.

Servants rushed in and extinguish- į cd the fiaries..

The police were called in, and the little infernal found that machine had comprised bottle made of strong glass, which con tained a mixture to be exploded by n device which began to work when the parcel was partly opened.

This mysterious criminal attempt is puzzling the police. It is the more baffing as being the second attempt which has been made with in a few weeks against well known racing people.

The first was directed against the Count Bruno de Boisgelein, whose colours-like those of the Count de Vienne-are very popular or French

racecourses.

Count Bruno also received a mys terious parcel.like that addressed to the Countess de Vienne; and it exploded on being opened.

As a result the Count was burned on the hand.
