KAISER WILHELY'S NEPHEW € Princs Leopold Astonishes New York Bociety By Exhibiting His Good Sense. COGHLAN'S LANGTRY KISS. A Distinguished Conaching Party—A Pretty Milk Mala=Tall Men the Social Rage—A Shocked Matden. NEw York,May 11, of the Bek.]-Seyeral little things are big this week to the Fifth avenuo section. We have had a real prince here who pos- itively refused to be by the swells and lionized. Tnis was Frederick Leo- pold, of Germany, grand-nephew of Kaiser Wilhelm. He put up at a Broad- way hotel, registered as Count lohen- stein. The nobs soon found out who he was, and he was boldly attacked by the tuft hunters, whose cards were sent up to him with all the brazen persistency of Iife insurance agents or book canvassers, He saw everybody who camie,'and treated them courteously enough, but he wou'd accept no invitations to social enter- tainment, save from Germans associated with the German consulate. He wans & fair looking young fellow, not airy at all, and bent only on seeing the sights of New York. He wouldn't be petted by our best society, and that was the end of it. The chief public exhibition of wealth and fashion was small indeed, for it was composcd of eight persons only; but they were a Vanderbilt party, posed conspicu- ously on the top of a tailly-ho coach. A four-in-hand coach makes a duily trip from Madison square to the Country club at Peiham. The driver is one of two alternating amateurs, and this time ne was Frederick Bronson, a howling swell William K. Vanderbilt the hi and his guests were mem- bers of his own family. The ladies wore gaver clothing than is usually seen in the t, but no more so than coaching ¢ permits. Thousands of staring witched the distinguished load as it rolled up Fifth avenue, through Central park, and thence over ‘the country roads at arapid pace. Photographers caught the passing show at several points. ‘T'he cow show has not had the fashion- able countenance which had been given to the dog show, though it was visited by many modish women, whose wide-opened, wondering eyes (practicing the celebrated baby stare) saw for the first time that milk was not the p of some treo. Not all the belles, however affected ignora of the practical duties of a milkmaid. Mabel Wright 1s one of the young beau- ties of pretentious society. She ban- tered by a gentleman of her party on her declaration of dairy knowledge, and the upshot was that she won a box of gloves on the wager that she could not milk a cow. 3 T'he amateur soldiers of the New York milltia regiments, or at lcast the three organizations favored by fashionable recognition, have finlnml a transient share of attention giving exhibition drills in their armories. The chappies brush the minutest particle of dust from their uniforms, burnish_ their trappings until a sunbeam would slip up on the surface, and then march bravely before an assemblage of invited guests. T'h: doesn't really scem a dangerous or d cult achievement, but the dear fellows are the best material at hand to make heroes out of, and so the girls assume an 1 delight at the 0w, *I do like to fool a man,” exclaimed one gentle fraud, “Well, 1 don't,” replied her fair pal. **And why not?" “Because it is too easy.” There is nothing much more talked of in uuciot{jufll now than the kissing of Charles Coghlan and Mrs. Langtry in ‘‘Lady Clancarty.” It is so deliberate,so utterly oblivious of the big fiddle, so un- conscious of the base drum, that it has all the meaning and earnestness of a kiss in private life. It is not an exhibition kiss by any manner of means; The rap- turous kissing that Kmma Abbot used to bestow on Castle never stirred a hair on husband Wetherell's head, nor disturbed the parting of a man 1n the audience, ‘The kissing of Mary Anderson was the most transparent make believe in the world. When Clara Morris used to kiss Charley Thorne in “Camille’” she would take hiw on her knees bofore her, muss his hair and devour him with loving looks, dip down upon his face and kiss him lingeringly on his nose,to his intense amusement. When Rignold was in the country he awoke the town kissing Susan when he played " William.” The women in the audience used to adinire, suffered, Rignold was a wiry, red- bearded man, who shaved twice & week, and no oftener. He would powder the stubble on his face till his complexion was lovely, but poor Susan! A scction of sand -paper could have hurt no worse. When he got home from sea in the play and met Susan, she would fly into his arms very much (after the wrevious ex- perie nce) as thevictim who was senten- ced in the inqu on fto undergo the vir- gin's kiss, knowing she had to, and was going toget hurt. He would hold that poor wirl's head back, make rush, kiss »oth eyes, root a second uuder her off enr, and then Kiss her straight in the mouth, and all the while this adjacent field of cheek and mound of chin were taking oft her caticle like a nut; But this business of Coghlan's makes the dude’s collar too tight for him, and the uncorking of secent bottles all over the house shows its cffect on the women. Coghlan is a serious-faced man of inten sity. There are no little nippy-flirty airs or graces about him. All that & kiss can mean orconvey when ho stoops over the handsome Langtry,who has half fainted, ng in the delicious opportunity, the most of The remarks it elicits are luuu{ The other night as the lingering, real kiss in all its warmth was ressed upon the upturned mouth of the amous Lily, a lady said, with a sigh: “What a pity its in'a play.” 1I'm sorry we're all here,” said an- other, But in the orchestra an old fellow who looked through a pair of giass: and over a lot of groy chin whiskers, just as Horace Greely ~used to do, slapped his leg with a 'big, freckled hand, and made a sound with his mouth like en- couraging a hor: 3 3 tJewhillikens? 'y y d him laughed almost as much as they did another night when a small boy, " half over the gallery rail, unable to contain himself, cried just as Coghlan's lips met Langtry’s: “Let her go Gallagher:" l‘xhl men are the ra more.

With few ex- ceptions the guests were in character cos- tumes, without masks to he sure, but this young mau got up a device that amused him all the evening. To begin with, he had a three-legged stool riveted in the 1t of his trousers. The legs were all fitted with hinges that, when he stood up, dropped flat against his own, but when he sat down they fell into plac and supported him as well as a thre legged stool ever supported a man, A band of some stout stuff was fastened across his knees. so that when he sat down he could stretch his legs two or three feet. Over his head, and resting upon it was a_yoke, such as ‘rench peasants wear to carry milk cans, rigged, the young fellow sat down on his three practicable wooden and two human legs, clasping his hands on his and throwing his arms out. He pholstered in_green velvet till he pectacls His arms were tufted oft seat was run in to go round his waist on a belt and fastened to the band between his knees. A plaited flounce encircled him, and a beautifully padded back ran from his waist up to the yoke on his head. Inthe center of this was a slit, through which he poked his head, and threw the yoke back,on his shoulders. Deep bullion” fringe went down his arms and over the tlounce. When he §tood up he was an ungainly mass of frills, fringes and furbelous; but when he threw up the yoke on his head, drew his noddie in like a turtle, braced his arms in the proper position, and sat_down, he was as inviling an easy chair as you would find in a eabinetmaker's store. He would seleet & quiet spot at the end of a dance, s'rike his attitude and wait devel- opments. Down would drop some ex- hausted damsel.

I 'know I've seen lots of women do it, and did it myself till the other night starting to see Langtry I did that trick in a dark room and have quititaltogether.

Whether she goes on the stage again after completing her three months tour i outh America, under the manage- t of Mr. Henry I, Abbey, is a ques- tion. If she leaves the staj she will have to refuse $5,000 a ni hc“lor the use of her vocal organs, which is more than the average woman could do.

It will be remembered that the dual nature of “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is the main ‘point of the work. = Dr. Jekyll, who s represented as n good- natured and highly intelligent gentle- man, isable by the help of a_powerful drug, to change his nature to Dr. Hyde, who is a downright bloodthirsty und murderous nature. The play is of o ghastly nature, but the difficult parts and quick changes of the leading_character are 80 well brought out by Mr, Mans- field, that it appears on the stage as a de- cided work of art.
