MAROWITZ LOANS MONEY, 418 N, urp A GREAT NYSTERY SOLVED The Identity of the Historical Man with the Iron Mask, FAMOUS PRISONER OF THE BASTILE Count Mattioli's Impri Trenchery, Kidnapping, pnment wod Do i Truth Meven Discoveries, However great the power of | his- tory eventually triumphs over it. Truth in history s like a chip floating in the current of a stream; at times the waves sweep over and submerge it, but it risos again to the surface. The next number of the Revue Historique, the leading French maga zine of history, will contain an article which seems to establish at last beyond dispute the identity of that famous prisoner of the Bas- tile known as “The Man with the Iron Mask.” This unravels at last one of the apparently hopeless mysteries of history. Sinco this mysterious captive died, two centuries ago, says the New World, enough books have been written about him to fill a library. The first account of his imprisonment was printed at Amster dam in 1 , and was in the form of an al- legory, the scene of which was laid in Persia. In 1761 the great Voltaire, who had the best nose for interesting news of any man in the eighteenth ecentury, revived the tale in his “Age of Louis XIV,” published in Berlin in 1751, He added much inter- esting information which he obtained at first hand, for during his lifo he was in- timately acquainted with most of the per- sonages of this romantic drama. But Voltaire never allowed the truth to stand in his way when he had the foundation for an interesting story, whizh accounts for h entertaining fiction regarding the identity of the Mask that by some has been accepted as fact ' VOLTAIRE'S STORY. Voltaire says that the queen, wife of Louls XIII, after giving birth to Louls XIV, was delivered at a subsequent hour of a second son, whose birth the king resolved to cou- ceni, to avold a dispute about a succession to the throne, it being the opinion of certain legal authorities that the first born of twins has a doubtful claim to any inheritance de pending upon birth, With this view the child was confided to a nurse, and afterward to a governor, who took him to his seat in Bur- gundy, where, growing to manhood, the child discovered the secret bf his birth, and was forthwith placed in confinement, with a mask to conceal his features, which were tho exact counterpart fo his brother, the king's. Un- fortunately for the truth of the tale, Voltaire had no proofs to back it up. Napolcon 1 was inclined to believe Voltaire's story, and had a thorough but unsuccessful search made of the national archives in order to verify it. Since Voltaire'’s time many theories have been advanced as to the identity of the my: terious Man of the Iron Mask, but they have all failed for lack of substantial proof upon some material point. The prisoner has been identified during the past two centuries as The duke of Vermandofs, natural son of Louis XIV and the beautiful Louise de la Valliere. The elder brother of Louis XIV, son of Anne of Austria and the duke of Bucking- ham. Son of Anne of Austria and Cardinal Maza- rin A soldier of fortune named Marechiel, who is alleged to have headed a conspiracy to assassinate the king and his ministers. General de Bulonde, who raised the sicge of Cuneo unnecessarily and compromised the success of one of Louis XIV's campaigns. The unknown captive is described as tall and of distinguished bearing. The mask he wore was of black velvet, the chin plece being fitted with steel springs, which en- abled him to eat without removing it. THE REAL MAN. And now the identity of ihis man of mys- tery and hero of fiction is fixe This mysterious prisoner now proves to have been Count Hercule Antoinc Mattioli, sceretary of state to Charles IV, duke of Mantua, Here is the story of his treacaery and how he was punished for it by the King of France During his_campaigns in Savoy and Pled- mont Louls XIV became master of the for- tress of Pignerol and cast covetous eyes upon the city of Casale, on the river Po, thirty- eight miles cast of Turin, whose possession was of the greatest importance to him, as it gave access o the whole of Lombsrdy, Casale was the capital of the duchy of Montferrat, one of the provinces ruled over by Charles 1V of Gonzaga, duke of Mantua, a young man who was squandering his revenues in dissipa- ion. The court of Versailles conceived, as a last resort, the plan of buying Casale out- right from its ruler, and the Abbe d'Estrades, ambassador of France to the Republic of Venice, succeeded in galning the influence of Count ' Mattioli, Charles 1V's secretary of state, who in_turn obtained the consent of his master. The Mantuan minister went to Paris, where Louls XIV loaded him with favors and gifts, and December 8 the deed was signed. The terms of the treaty were: 1. That the duks of Mantua should receive the French troops at Casale. 2. That If the king of France should send an army Into Italy the duke of Mantua should have command of it. 3. That immediately after the execution of the treaty the duke of Mantua should be paid 100,000 crowns. The negotiations were necessarily carried on with the utmost scerecy, for the age was one of continual intrigue between the petty Italian states, some of which Spain also wished to add to her possessions. TREACHERY. On his way back from Paris Mattioll sold the secret of the treaty to President Turki, one of the ministers of the court of Savoy, for a large sum of momey, and allowed him to take coples of all the documents. After this act of treachery it is not surprisifg that Mattioli should do his utmost to delay the ratification and fulfillment of the treaty. The French were naturally eager to complete the transaction and take possession of Casale, ‘Their negotiator and their geneal were both ready, but Mattioll sent fitting excuses for postponing the final act, until suspicions began to bs entertained conc: ing his fidelity. Nevertheless, appearances were Kept up and an appointment was eventually made to exchange the ratifications at Increa, a village near Casale, the duke répairing in person to sale to deliver It into the hands of the French immediately afterwards. Dut Q'Estrades, the French envoy charged with the ratification, was arrested as he passed through the Milanese from Venice, owing to the machinations of Mattioli, it was supposed, and although another person, Catinat ( wards the celebrated marshal), was instantly appointed to supply the arrcsted envoy's place, Mattioli betook himself to Venice instead of keeping the appointment at Increa. Catinat, who was then but a brigadier, actualy pro- ceeded to Increa, and narrowly escaped being seized by a detachment of cavalry sent for the purpose of capturing him. After this there could be little doubt of Mattloli's treachiery, but the French were too intent on the compietion of the arrangement to break with him entirely, and the charge Q'affaires at Venice urged him by n- confer with d'Estrades, who bad been re- leased and was then at that city. Mattioli yiolded at last, and in the course of tme pre sonted himself to d'Estrades at Turin, with many lame excuses for the delay caused D’'Estrades had obtained, meantime, proofs ot Mattioll's treachery from the duchess of Savoy herself, of the documents relative to the surrender of Casale. THE KIDNAPPING. Louis XIV was a man of the most egotis- tical and revengeful nature, and, finding him self deceived and betrayed, gave vent tc fierce indignation and avowed to avenge him- self on the traitor. The night of May 2 1679, Louls' emissaries lured Mattioli into un ambush in the environs of Turin, where he was seized, masked (the records arn very positive on this polnt) and taken to the fort- ress of Pignerol. It was undoubtedly requisife that so fla- grant I cl a8 the selzure of & winister plea- fpotentiary, which Mattioll actually was at the time, should be kept, It possible, a pro- found secret. all scrupulous sbout lav: gove consideration, | vided him with everything that he desired in the way of food and elothes obliged, on pain of death, his velvet mask his phyefclan pluck hairs from his beard with emall steel pine:rs, | to the 1698, nearly York | B my the third chamber of the tower La Bertar- diere, which care had been taken to furnish with all that was necessary.
