DON, April 2.—(Correspondence of w York World—Special Telegram.)— ¢ Americans who have visited Europe rn without regret that Captain prge Elllott Briscoe Graham, once of the English Life Guards, has entered upon a contract with his majesty's government to do twelve months’ hard labor at Reading prisou. The tall military figure of Captain Graham has been for the last familiar at such hotels as the Savoy, Vic- toria, Carlton and Cecil in London and Henrys and the Chatham in Paris, and the smart restaurants of both capitals, while he Invarlably was to be seen at Monte Carlo and Cairo during the fashionable ses Graham 1s 45 years old and since signed from the army and went through the bankruptey court in 1860 he has lived at the rate of from £:0,000 to $100,000 a year upon money derlved from the exercise of his peculfar talent at cards and his own roulette wheel, He is one of a gang of con- fldence men that includes Arthur Plerce, or “English Arthur,” as he i« known to t New York police, though he is of Austra- llan nationalit rank Tarbo, American crook, who recently served a term for nearly murdering a confederate in a fight over the division of spoils of a young English nobleman; George Root, another American who bas recently returned hon with health and fortune shattered, and Alonzo Haines of Philadelohia, who is in tha Mulberry street rogues' gallery ‘Dutch Alonzo” and is now serving a term also ncludes several Englishmen, and their anuual depredations mount up in hundreds of thousands Gentlema of the Gang. Graham, who is of distingulshed appear- ance and perfect manners, has been the gentleman of this gang. Not one of t others is able to make the least pretense in that direction. He had elegantly fur- nished chambers in Jermyn street, where the vietim would be brought early in the morning, after an evening at the music halls and supper at an all-night club. The furnishings included a roulet's wheel, as well as baccarat and poker tables, and it 18 not recorded that any etranger came away a winner. Scotland Yard detectives have had Gra- ham under surveillance in England and on the continent for at least five years, but until last week they have been unable to bring a charge against him, though they have known bim to be credited with scores of swindling cases during that period. He Is one of the trio who buncoed Colonel Joe Rickey during the jubllee year, and other Americans who have contributed to his sapport are the late Howell Osborne, Harry Rosenfeld of Chicago, and the son of the late Congressman Morse of Boston. Graham came to grief over a common- place swindle in Paris. Accompanied by Miss Catherine Fernough, for some time a barmaid at the Criterion, he in January took swagger apartments at the Hotel Con- tinental as Captain and Mrs. Graham. He had several fur-lined coats and fur sacques sent there for approval, their value amount- ing to more than $5,500. N The captain awnd the ‘barmaid approved the entire lot and carried them over to England by the night boat. They were lunching together at Hatchett's last week, the barmaild wearing a $2,000 cape, while behind the captain hung a sable-lined over- coat valued at $1,600, when they were ar- rested. At Graham's chambers it was discovered his roulette wheel was fitted with an air bulb, by means of which he was able to control the ball. The draft of a black- mailing letter addressed to a captain in the army was also found among his effects, as well as §5,000 worth of unpatd bills. Miss Fernough was sentenced to three months' imprisonment, HIS DISHES AND GAMES Kaniser's Fondn s for Salt Pork and Drop the Hand- Kerchief, (Copyright, 1901, by Press Publishing Co.) BERLIN, April 13.—(New York World Cablegram—Special Telegram.)—The kalser manages the imperial kitchen on the con- tract system. A restaurant near supplies and cooks the edibles at 8o much per head per meal. Under the new contract the prices are: Dinner of five courses, $1.54 a luncheon of three courses, Including or- dinary table wines, $1.24; state banquets, 50, without the wines, which on such occasions are supplied from the imperlal cellars. The kaiser's favorite dishes are salted pork cutlets, cured in a peculiar gravy, and Hungarian goulasch, fillet of beef and stewed trufies. The empress arranges the menus for a week at a time. Luncheon never lasts longer than thirty minutes and dinner than one hour. Yesterday the kaiser took his children to the hunting box at Grunewald to meet a party of other children. After tea. during which the war lord talked nonsense to the children’s delight, he organized such games as “puss in the corper" and “drop the handkerchief.” The Kkaiser jolued with immense spirit in each game, and the light-hearted frivol- ity he displayed formed the subject of gen- eral gossip and admiration in the court circles. He has invited his little guests to a similar party next month. Count Hohenlau, a leading German aristo- crat, ocupying a high diplomatic post in Dresden, has just disappeared, owing to revelations at the trial of several young men, who were sentenced to long terms of imprisonment. In the case of a noble like Hohenlau, conviction for the offense in question Involves the assumption of lunacy and means detention in a criminal lunatic asylum. The count had been blackmailed heavily by his convicted associates. LADY CURZON IS RESTING Looks Fragile and Avolds the Glddy Throng at Monte « (Copyright, 191, by Press Publishing Co.) NICE, April 13.—(New York World Cable- gram—Special Telegram.)—Lady Curzon ot Kedleston, who was Mary Lelter, is resting for a couple of weeks at the hotel Regina, Clmlez, on her way from India to England She looks rather fragile and delicate, but is mot an invalid. She has avolded the glddy throng at Monte Carlo, preferring the comparative seclusion of Cimiez, where | she keeps entirely to herself. M. Cognet, a banker, has been ap- pointed American consular agent at Cannes, in succession 1o the late P. Riddell. Cog- net is 0 Frenchman and his predecessor was English. It seems curious that an Ameri- can clitizen canvot be found for the post. The Marlboroughs, Pagets, Cornwallis Wests and others of the smart English set have all loft for Paris, just as the most beautiful season of the year was commenc- ing here, but the Riviera is not fasbionable after Easter, The gang | BLOTS OUT VILLAGE Mountain 8lides and Bwaeps & Dowa Narrow Valley.

AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF DREYFUS sk Verston, « ousand Words, the First of May. Press Publishing Co.) LONDON, April 13.—(New York World Cablegram—Special Telegram.)—The Eng- lish verslon of Dreyfus autobiography, to be published May 1, consists of 60,000 words. It has been translated by James Mortimer, who says: “The book ls written with great feeling and it will surprise me It Dreyfus' sufferings do not constitute one of the most poignant marratives in any lan- guage. The book also has been written with absolute candor. No less noteworthy is Dreyfus’ restraint in dealing with those respongible for his inhuman treatment. One of the most touching pussages s where, after an foterview with his wife at Iledere February 21, 1895, be is suddenly informed that he is about to start for am unknown destination without even taking leave of his family. Mrs. Ogden Goelet has taken a five-years’ lease of Spencer house, the St. James prop- erty of Earl Spencer. It is a stately, com- fortable house, beautifully furnished and decorated and sultable for large entertain- ments. While in the heart of the west end, it enjoys almost absolute quiet and rural charm by overlooking Greem park. Mrs, Goelet long has been wavering be- tween London and Paris, but finally decided for London, because under the new reign | its importance as a fashionable center is greatly increased and she has plans for a big marriage for her daughter, Prince Francis of Teck was attentive to Miss Goelet last year. Under the new order of things the prince’s social importance will be much increased. The temperance party in Parliament is in a curious quandary over the bishop of Win- chester's bill, which gives to a wife the right of reliet with alimony from a drunken husband. It was proposed that the hus- band should also have the right to separate from a drunken wife, but the bishop con- tends that any man who permits his wife to become an Inebriate deserves to suffer. The bill probably will be wrecked over this point. Arthur Roberts, the Johnnies' idol, who recently was fined $1 for disorderly conduct in Piccadilly in the small hours, was again fined this week $28 for assaulting a hack- man with whom he had quarreled about a fare. The Cunard company has decided to in- stell the Marconi wireless telegraphy on its ships. The first of a series of conducted tours of English artisans to the American iron and steel manufactories is expected to start the middle of May under the auspices cf Thomas Westgarth, partner in a big firm of Middles- burg {ron masters. The leading Amerfcan firms have promised to throw open thelr works to these parties so that the visitors may pick up what ideas they can. ONE WREATH IS AMERICAN puses Wrath nining Sixty (Copyright, 1901, by Over (Copyright, 191, by Press Publishing Co.) " PETERSBURG, April 13.—(New York World Cablegram—Special Telegram.)— R pin's famous Tolstoi portrait has led to the closing by the authorities of the picture gallery where ft was the chief attraction. Tolstol's admirers decorated the picture with flowers. The keeper of the gall who disobeyed the order to remove it, h: been arrested and the gallery closed. One of the wreaths laid before the picture was from American and British admirers of Tolstol. This especially enraged the authorities, A sensational tragedy has caused intense | excitement here. Captain Heckert of the | Imperial Guards suspected Prof. Hermann Dohnberg, a famous oculist, of attentions to his wife. Heckert called on Dohnberg, ac- | cused him and gave him the option of blinding himself for life or being shot Dohnberg chose death and Heckert killed him va the spot. Heckert's punishment probably will be light. The czar has asked for a special report of the whole circum- stances.

Dealers in tea, to- bacco aud whisky are withdrawing larg quantities of these articles from the gov- ernment bonded warehouses, on the chances of escaping the anticipated increased tax- ation and adding it afterward. These spec- ulative withdrawals involved a heavy pay- ment of duties and a consequent large in- creage in revenue It is considered probable that Sir Michael Hicks-Beach will not increase the duty on any articles on which speculation has taken place.

My biggest successes were made with English pieces. I have received several offers for the appearance here of Maude Adams in ‘L'Aiglon’ but 1 was forced to decline them, owing to the neces- sity of affording the actress an opportunity for her annual holidays. “The dramatization of popular novels has given me so much additional material for the next scason that I have been compelled to take another New York theater. “An English play secured for America is H.
