'REAPS LADY MEUX'S CURSE Mra Brewa Potter Under the Pan of Maligasat Malodiotion. ACTRESS FORFEITS POWERFUL INFLUENCE 4 Supreme, Now She arned Against Where She R Finds Everything Her—Remarkable ¢ Strange Womn (Copyright, 1%2, by Press Publishipg Co.) LONDON, Feb. 1.—(New York World Ca- blegram, Speolal Telegram.)—Mrs. Brown Pottor Is reaping the whirlwind of Lady Meux's curse. That famous malediction, which, as all the fashionable world knows, terminated an ‘ntimacy which laid the wealth and prestige of the eccentric Eng- lish woman at the feet of the American actr has, according to its author, and she ought to know, begun to accomplish its full design. Like its predecessor, “The Jackdaw of Rheims,”" surely ‘‘never was heard such a terrific curse.” Lady Meux openly declared that her victim never would have any luck as long as she lived, and points to her withdrawal from Reerbohm Tree's com- pany, playlng Stephen Phillips’ “Ulysses as direct evidence of the strength of the saell. The deposed “Calypso” was formerly the most welcome visitor at the Theobalds, fa- millarly koown as Tipples, Lady Meux's place In Hertfordshire, where a room was prepared for ber after bar own design. Mrs. Potter's taste likewlse prescribed the laws of Lady Meux's town house, where the meals were o timed that the bostess might always dine with the guests before ®olog to the theater. All this was before the quarrel and the curse. Now the Influence that was once hers to command is arrayed against her, and the misfortunes that the malediction may fnclude are not to be lightly reckoned with Lady Meux's Strange Carecr. Lady Meux, from whom W. C. Whitney leased the horse Volodyovski, his Lerby winner, is a remarkable woman with A strange career. Twenty-four years ago she married Sir Henry Meux, who was (he principal partner in the great brewing firm of Meux & Co. the Income of which Is about $1,225,000 a year. Sir Henry had an affiiction which prevented his going fnto soctety, and during her whole married life, which terminated with his death about five years ago, bls wife was his devoted nui They llved at their splendld country house, Tbeobalds Park, in almost complete seclusion. Lady Meux's malden name as given in Dubrett, was Valorie Susie Lang- don, while Burke gives itas Langton, and shows her to be a distant cousin of her busband, But there is a certaln amount ot reticence about her parentage, and the almost hermetical retirement, which marked her marriage, during which she went nowhere and was unknown even to ber nearest neighbors, gives an agreeable tinge of mystery to her antecedents Few plutocrats bave more residenccs than lady Meux, and she keeps them all but ome. They finclude Dauntsey House, Chippenham, Wilt, Sheen House, East Sheen, Surrey, Chateau De Sucy, France, and 41 Park Lane,,London, Sir Henry kept race horses, and the stables and their contents have been prac- tically made over to Frank Gardner, an American financier now settled in London, who s continuing thelr fortunes on the turt.

Well informed friends say that Count de Fitzjames, who for two years had shown himself a most attentive and devoted humble friend, assumed proprietary airs 5000 as the betrothal was announced, dic- tating what Miss Sanderson must and must not do, whereupon the independent Cali- fornian’s eyes were opened and she ehose a radical breaking of relations instead of a long life of matrimonial’ confiicts.

The German ambassador, Prince Radoltn, is reported to have related with consid- erable amusement to a few diplomats what the young prince told him of his trials among his democratically dlerespectful fel- low students at Bonn. The prince has been subjected to a deal of guying and once he was evep rather roughly hustled about after one of those beer drinking cvenings customary among German acholars. The prince Is sald to have confessed that several (imes he wrote to his father asking permission to lesve the university, but the kalser always made light of these tales, telling his son that a certagin amount of real rubbing against the world could not do an heir to a crown a0y harm.

The prince's visit announces that we wish to retaln the good relationship with the union in the future, and the recoption by people and government and public opinjon appearing for him on the Amer{can ground will be a brilllant testi- mony to the same feelings and hopes on the party of Americans." Dr. Bachmann, editor-in-chief of the Vessische Zeltung, the organ of the radical party, say “'I earnestly hope the prince's visit will tend to cement the relations be- tween the two countries. This is the wish of all true Germans who love their eoun- try, and we look with greatest sympathy on the approaching visit. I believe it will produce lasting good.” Dr. Kronsbein, editor of the 'Berlin Post, the organ of the imperfal comserva- tives, a semi-official government organ, declares: “The warmest sympathies of the German natlon accompany the prince on his visit to America on the way to greet the great American nation in the name of his Imperial brother. Our memory goes back to two heroes, George Washington and Frederick the Great. These men in their day Impresssd thelr respective hemispheres. Bo long as successors of Frederick wield the scepter with wisdom. and so long as the virtue and might of the father of the uoion rule the wide lands of North America, so long will German-Americans know only one rivairy, the rivalry of civilization, with its im- measurable treasures.
