r appear* from the researches of Parts e porter* that the remarkable ad vesture upon which M. Jacques Lebaudy U now engaged, in trying to found a Saharan empire ou the west roast of Africa. U by no means ao unique aa baa bean •opposed. He has had three or four predecessors In the bard task of empirefounding. all of them French, and each of them dt*lined to a gloomy, unsuccess-

ful and fatal end.

Comte Raouaset Boulboa, the moot famous ot these, was born In tbe late 10s of last century- He was au adventurous spirit from the start. Having loot pis fortune recklessly about the time he ought to have been In school, he spent a few. wild yean in Algiers and then set out for California, not to discover gold, but to gather together aa many unsuccessful French gold hunter* as he could And. make a descent on Mexico and form an Independent kingdom for himself before the United Stptes should sweep down upon that country and put an end to Its

political existence.

That was about 1847. The big province of Sonora tempted him (then' - has been nothing small about the idea;

M. JACQUES LEBAUDY. (Rich Frenchman Who Calls Hlmseif Em- • p*ror of Sahara ) and ambitions of French empire-found-ers from Napoleon down) and thither he went with 200 infantry, to dignify them by that name, 40 cavalry and two old aannon. With their aid he killed 20C Mexican* deflhdlag the town of Hermoallla. sacked the place and occupied It. But not for long; the Mexican authorities. after a series of romantic chases and discomfitures, got hold of him and shot him In spits of his promise to return to Paris and no longer aspire to

empire.

Leaa than 80 years after this attempt came that dl Coant de May rena. He had money, Ilka Lebaudy, to such an extent that he knew not how to spend It. so his thoughts mataraMy turned to adventure, these* to natloa-making sad the crown iverslgnty. He had a military training. for he had fonght In the war of 1870. and he knew something of foreign geog-

raphy. for his choice for hi* empire fell 1 on the very spot of earth where at that time he had the best chance* to succeed. With a small force of less than 400 men he went to the border between Siam and Annam and tried to pereuade tbe native* to Join him Is large numbers. He managed to get a tribO about him which elected him chief and later proclaimed him king under the name of "Marie I." Tbe Paris newspapers of that time were gorged with accounts of the t dertsklcg. much as they are at preei with the Lebaudy enterprise; and the population st home found enormous sumsement In the Ides luelf. in 1688 Marls was crowned and formed his court; then he remalnfd unheard of for several years until the nesrs of his death came from Sings pore, where he taken refuge after being dethroned because be could not work tbe miracles he promised. He left hH fortune behind

him.

Then there was Antolne-Orelle I., emperor of Patagonia: or. In private life, M. Tboumeni. modest lawyer of Perlgueux. France. He seems to have had nothing of sovereignty bnt a gold crown | (some people swore It was brass) and the name, but he lived down there In hi* "kingdom" until fever killed him In a Bueno* Ayres hospital. There are few or no details to be found about him. The worn of them all srxs Charles Bonaventnre of Bretl. who said his real name was tbe Viscount de Roy* and ‘ of Caujgta. neither of which

Bonaventure suddenly dll appeared from his favorite Parts club* one day and as suddenly reappeared four care after. He said he had been made rnler of the province of Port-Breton In Oceania, and that he bad come back place on the Paris bourse valuable amounts of stock and shares he bad gained In the prosperity out there. What be was really speculating In was human credulity of the peculiar French variety. Nevertheless, be persuaded a lot of people to Invest large sums money In farm lands, in mining shares, dtsUUsrisa and sugar fields. At a certain day he was to meet 800 emigrants from Holland and Franc* at Havre, wh the party would sail on a sprolally chartered steamer for the paradise at Breton. The emigrants came, the boats were there, but the ruler of the dluaat land was behind time and the boat sailed

wlthont him.

When the emigrants arrived Oceania to take possession of their various properties they discovered that they had been duped. There were bnt barren lands, destitute of the first necessltii life. Maay of the wretches died there of starvation; there was no use in their going back to France to ridicule and poverty. Those who did return finally effected the arrest of Bonaventure In Bpaln. where he had led a luxurious life, giving dinners to royalty and gambling on a tremendous scale. He was given five yean ot solitary Imprisonment.

JUDGE GEORGE GRAY.

Jndge George Gray, of Maryland, has teverel times of late been mentioned as a presidential possibility on the democratic side of the house, and the adoption of a resolution favoring his nomination In one of the coal counties of Pennsylvania Is the latest phase of a concerted movement in that state to push his candidacy. Jndge Gray himself has given no tidered as a candidate, and that there is nothing in the so-called- boom started by his Meads. Judge Gray has had an pointed one of the Paris peace rommlatre who negotiated the treaty of Paris, transferring the Philippine islands
