A CRIME FORETOLD
M. Jean Finot, the well-known editor of the Paris La Revue, will shortly publish a volume of "Reminiscences of Mr. William T. Stead, whom ho describes as the v "King of Journalists." The two writers were close friends for many years, and M. Jean Finot has a rich .store of anecdotes about his English colleague. In regard to Mr. Stead's spiritualistic experiments, M. JPinot says he obtained some astounding results. On ono occasion the medium predicted the assassination of King Alexander and Queen Draga of Servia in tho presence of a number of witnesses- 'Mr. Stead was no convinced of tho veracity of the prediction that he went to tne Servian Minister in London and finally induced him to send warning to his Sovereign. The .warning was not heeded by tho young King, and several months afterwards the terrible Belgrade tragedy was enacted with details absolutely identical with these described by Mr. Stead's medium.
