LUNDON, June 6.—(New York World Cablegram—Special Telegram.)—Secretary Henry White, of the United States em- bassy and Mrs. White, gave a royal party at Wilton Park on Saturday having nearly the whole cabinet to meet important guests. The day was very fine, and until a thunde storm broke in the afternoon the house party passed the time in the beautiful grounds. Thirty-six people were invited to dine, including Prime Minister Balfour, ex-Prime Minister Rosebery and Chancellor of the Exchequer Ritchie, all of whom stayed over the Whitsuntide holiday: The princess of Walea wore a rich gold- embroidered dress, with emeralds and dlamonds flashing on her head and neck. The prince of Wales seemed to enjoy the party “immensely.” Mrs. White has much tact in getting congenial people together. The dinner was delighttul, yet nothing was #0 enjoyable as were the tricks of an American conjurer, who took up the work ' of entertaining the company In the drawing Yoom afterward. His name is M. Manlini. More will certainly be heard of him. The ‘L royal pair were spell-bound, and the cabinet s were dumb founded. Lord Rose- bery was the only skeptic. He main- talned that the tricks were a fraud. Mr. Balfour invited him to Investigate, but w1Lord Rosebery lgnored the remark. When the prime minister was asked to produce some money for a new trick he handed over & five-pound note, and, after haviag written his name on the back of it, the conjurer asked for a dish of fruit. A @ vile of oranges and lemons on a silver dish placed on the sideboard. Manlini took up the five-pound note rolled it into a ball, standing right in the middle of the floor far from the fruit and Invited the prime to take any orange from the dish pleces of fruit, finally declding one. opened, when lo; he found the n trult,. Card Tricks the Fad. ‘When Manlini first arrived in London ‘with letters to Ambassador Choate the latter was so tickled at the ldea of a new conjurer that he invited him to give a few demonstrations of his art then and there in the recption room of the embassy, on Victoria street, before the whole embassy staff. The embassy seems to have actually “gone orazy’ on' card tricks. It is ‘whispered that card juggling Is one of the ambassador's pet fads and that he is an expert. On his return, ten days hence it s sald that a party will be given at his residence on Calton House T'rru:l with Manlinl as an ent for an after-dinner Henry White's only son is back ln!n in London from Harvard. He has grown tall and is quite goodlooking. The public probably will hear soon that he s betrothed some one of the pretty English girls "M are intimate friends of his sister el and for whom his mother has great aftection. Mrs. White likes to have around her these girls, all of whom, daughters of | does peers, in many cases have very eligible brothers. Cralg Wadsworth returned to the embassy Baturday, after a long absence In Wels. baden under Doctor Pagenstecker, who says that had the former not gone at once for treatment he certainly would have lost the sight of one eye. Mr. Wadsworth has been greatly missed at dances this seasom, but several cotillions are coming on that he still may lead.

Morton, Her- mann Oelrichs, Willlam M. Grinnell, Goorge T. Lorillard and Richard Harding Davis. A large number of friends saw the Clovers off. All the embassy staft turned out to wish them “bon voyage. Attache Not Soclety Mam. Captain Charles H. Stockton of New York, the new naval attache, is now set- tled at work in the embassy.

Al- though Miss Stockton is 17, her mother will defer her daughter's presentation until next year, in order to ailow her to see w iitle of London and English life first. Captain Stockton s not rich, and .as neither he nor his wife s fond of soclety, | 1t 1s not expected that they will be much heard of in & soclal way, except at official therings. Mr. und Mre. J. J.

LONDON, June 6. Cablegram—8pecial Telegram.)—The mar- riage of Suzanne Sheldon, the beautiful American actress, who made a pronounc:i hit in “If I Were King,” and Henry Alnley, a handsome, successful young actor, and the bethrothal of Miss Sheldon's sister, Elizabeth, to Anthony Hope, the distin- guished novelist, were the sensations of the week In the theatrical and literary worlds. They came to public knowledge simul- taneously. The wedding was very quiet. The bridal party went from Mrs. William Favorsham's pretty house at Chiddingfold, Surrcy, to the chureh in which Mrs. Favorsham was mar- ried, and there the ceremony was per- formed. The bride had her sistec with her as bridesmaid. Spencer Bddy, the first secretary of the United Statcs legation in Constantinople, came over speally to be present at the ceremony. At the luncheon party given afterward Anthony Hope made a happy speech, full of pretty humor and epigram. Ife sail he had found his heart's desire atter a ing pursuit of many things, which —hie surpriscd everybody by saying—was a wifa, Ainley, the bride, and her sister, played together for a year in “If T Were Kirg," at the St. James theater. During tha: time they grew much attached to each other. But for three years Mr. Ainley had been engaged to another young actress, Mirs Noble, while Miss Sheldon a year ago was on the eve of marrying a widely known Lon- don soclety man. But Miss Soeldon's in- timate friend, Julle Opp, now Mrs. favor- sham, persuaded her to bregk off the match a week before the day fixed for the wed- ding. It was during Mr. Alexander's few days of iliness, when Alnley playsd tne leading part, that the impréssionable Mies Sheldon lost her heart to him. Alnley mode an instantaneous, sensational succers, play- ing in packed houses, but Alscander did not stay out of the cast longer than he was obliged to, and Alnley returaed to his original part, a minor and somewhaz color- less one. Alnley was unable to get Monday even'ng off, and after dining early at a quist res- taurant with his newly-made bride, he left her to play the part of a youns student in “0ld Heldelberg." Anthony Hope's wedding will take ylace in the fall. Although Mrs. Favorsham is anxious to have it here it is likely that the bride will go out with her sister, Su- sanna, and the latter's husband, who start soon on a tour of the United 8*atos, and it is said that Mr. Hope wants to go lhere, too, “Betty" Sheldon is just 18 and very beau- tiful.

By the king's orders the teacher was dis- missed, but the boys were cautioned against any resort to arson to redress their gricvances.

It will bave twenty-four horse power, while last year's airship had only four-horse power. Mr. Spencer says a storm might delay the start, but that ordinary summer breezes will make little or no difterence. The airship when finished s to be ninety feet long and twenty-two feet broad in the widest part. Beneath a cigar-shaped bal- loon will be suspended a bamboo frame- work, carrying one or two passengers, a petroleum motor, a screw propeller and a rudder.

EMPEROR HAS LARGE ESTATES Owns Fifty-Three Cestles and Three Hundred Thousand Acres of Land, (Copyright, 1903, by Press Publishing Co.) BERLIN, June 6.—(New York World Ca- blegram—Special Telegram.)—Emperor Wil- liam owns elghty-three estates besides the fifty-three castles mentioned in a recent dispatch to the World. These estates foot up 800,000 acres, and the income from them is about $160,000. But several of the great landed proprie- tors, the prince of Pless and the duke of | Ratibor among them, have far more exten- sive landed possessions than their imperial master. However, the emperor's property 18 big enough to require an ever-increasing army of agents to look after it and is con- stantly Increasing. It is not an uncommon thing for a German prince or wealthy owner of landed estates to leave a house or land to the emperor. This was the case wita the castle and the estate of Cadinen, where the empress spends her happlest days, Enormous sums go to the support of the fifty-three castles. The emperor has only visited thirty pf the fifty-three, yet he is bullding another castle on a huge scale in | the town of Posen to cost §500,000, and to be | a Prussian royal residence among the Poles. Perched on three of the most picturesque crags on the Rbine are three of the em- peror's most interesting castles.

His greatest ambition had buen to visit foreign countries, but he hi no money. It occurred to him to make a large box with a double bottom. After #ix months work he contrived one that could be opened and shut by secret When it was done he found a traveling companion who was willing for a small sum to take charge of the hox and for- ward it to destinations as directed. Terkalt packed himselt in the box and at a con- venient place on the way left it. He then marched to the rallway office, proved that his box was ninety-three pounds lighter than it was when shipped and demanded damages. This was done from place to place the raliroad and steamship companies in most cases being only too glad to settle quietly, Terkalt left Odessa with 19 kopecks (about 12 cents) and returned with 2,000 roubles (about $1,000). Just as he was about to leave his box for the last time the rallway police ob- served the movements of the singular box and Terkalt was arrested. The whole story came out at the trial, but the judge, tak- ing a merciful view of his adventures, punished him with only three months im- prisonment.

PARIS, June 6.—(New York World Cable- gram—Special Telegram.)—A band of plever swindlers known as “The Potatoes,” has Just been run to earth after a serles of operations that covered many months. There were eleven men and women, and they took their name from & man and wife of the party, who were formerly potato sellers. The principal “‘worker” was a woman who was styled “The beautiful Therese," (In memory of Madame Humbert, no doubt). Her ‘avorite method of working was to introduce herself Into houses of 0ld women and men having a comfortable revenue and under all sorts of pretexts persuade them to advance her certain sums. ¢ Another of the women was called the “Marchioness,” and a man bore the title of ““The Engraver.” There was also the “Big Christine,”” with her lover.

C, June 6.—Before the waters of a mighty flood, Pacolet, 8. C., has been swept frora the map and the great cotton mills of Spartanburg and Clifton, 8. C., have been wiped out by a storm which struck this part of the coun- try late last night. Up to the present hour it has been im- possible to ascertain the loss of life. Bix bodies have already been seen drifting down the stream and It seems certain that twenty-five or thirty were drowned at Pacelot alone. Pacolet and Clifton are situated in the defiles of two valleys, between lofty ranges of hills, Most of the homes of the work- men are located In the valley near the mills in which they are laborers. The shadow of the storm settled over Spartanburg last night. It gathered force until the proportions of a glant cloudburst were reached, when the downpour from the clouds swept away the dams, which In turn settled into one vast swirling stream, which rushed down the valley where the mills are situated. This afternoon the waters are roaring above houses and homes, where yesterday the spindle snd the loom were at work and 1,000 laborers were busy. Property Loss Two Millions. 1t is estimated that the property loss will reach §2,000,000.

A little later the fury of the raging river struck mill No. 1, wash- ing the plant entirely away. The strong current then swept against No. 2, demol- ishing that mill and leaving only the cloth roome standing. The big bridge over the Pacolet river, a steel stricture, was then carried away by the flood, which had burst through the dam. The wareroom, contain- ing nearly 4000 bales of cotfon and 4,000 bales of domestic cloth, followed, all the cotton being carried down strea: At Pacolet mill No. 8, one-half the picker room and five stories on the left side of the main bullding, were washed away. The main building, supported by a thick wall, is still standing, but is shaky and may collapse .at any time. The boiler room is gone, but the smokestack is yet standing. The dam at No. 3 is Intact. All the ma- chinery in this mill is ruined. At Glendale four warehouses filled with cotton and cotlon products were swept away, along with the dam across Law- son’s fork and the trestle of the city elec. tric railway.
