LONDON, June 21.—(New York World Ca- blegram—Special Telegram.)—Mrs. Bamuel Sloan Chauncey has been offered several old titles since coming here, according to common reports, but the rich New York widow has refused them all. One admirer, who follows her every move with adoring oyes, is Arnold Morley, a constant visitor at her pretty house in Mayfair. Mr. Morley is extremely wealthy, has an unassailable position in the “smart set,” belongs to halt & dosen of the best clubs, is 5 years old but looks much younger, is a privy coun- cillor, once was postmaster sgeneral and was ohlef liberal whip for several years under Gladstone. His father was Samuel Morley, M. P., a noted philanthropist and the head of one of the biggest wholesale drug goods firms in the city of London. Mrs. Chauncey nd her sister, Lady New- borough, scored a great success with their gint ball and cotilllon Wednesday night. Mrs. Chauncey's house was so blocked to- ward midnight that the staircase was im- passable. The big ballroom was lined with & kaleldoscoplc array of silks and chiffons crowned with flashing jewels. The number of men present was astamishingly large. The cotillion was novel in the extreme and the American touches made it appeal es- pecially to the fashionable onlookers. The umbrella figure was the most amusing. Each dancer carried an umbrella of a difterent color. In the next the men marched in pampas hats and carrying large sticks, and with their partners performed & cakewalk amid a storm of cheering. Mrs, Chauncey's niece, Madeline, for whom the ball was given, was very much in her element. She seemed to get on very well with a handsome young English peer and later with Winston Churchill, M. P. There were lots of duchesses, including the duchess of Roxburgh, who brought her daughter. Then there were the marchioness of Dufferin, the countess of Warwick, Mrs. “Willie” James, who is to ROYALTY SEES “IN DAHOMEY” Colored Company Performs for K and Queen and Makes & Great Hit, (Copyright, 133, by Press Publishing Co.)

They seem to take as much delight In it as the children themselves.” This spontaneous tribute from the King who seemed himself to be as delighted as any of the children, intensified the rapture of the colored company, which had been excited by the compliment of being invited to entertain royalty “It was the proudest moment of my life,” sald “Bert” Willlams, “to appear before my soverelgn, for 1 am British born, hall- ing from the Bahamas. When I remember how he laughed and applauded I felt good, entertain the king next week; Marchioness Camden, the marchioness of Granby and the countess of Coventry. ~" The men were among the most eligible of the bachelors in London. It is largely due to Lady Saville that Mrs. Chauncey has so quickly risen in the soclal firmament. Wherever the Savilles 80 Mrs. Chauncey goes with them. Mrs, Paget's First Party. Mrs, Arthur Paget gave last night her first big party in Belgrave square. She had as guests all the “smart” Americans, @s well as the leading English soclety poople, and this despite a suspected at- tempt to cut her out made by Mrs. Harry Higgins, formerly Mrs. Breese, of New York, a great rival, who through the in- strumentality of Mrs. “Jack” Leslie got the duke and the duchess of Connaught for a party on the same night. The duke and the duchess always used to be at Mrs. Paget's parties untll now. the Van Alens, the Elbridge Gerrys, the Frank Vanderbilts, Hamlet Powers and everybody else of the “smart world.”" Mrs. Paget had the negroes from “In Dahomey "’ | and Jeanne Granler. Mrs. Paget is di- recting the affairs of no less than four Americans this season. She is about to give a party for Mrs. Frederick Bell (known as “The Wrong Mrs. Bell" be- cause she is not Mrs. Isaac Bell). She bas got & house for her and has furnished it. Now she {s sending out invitations for Mrs. Frank Mackey's party Monday, on which Mrs. Mackey is spending at least $10,000. Besides these, Mrs. Paget is coach- ing Mrs. Law and Mrs. Bache. Springing So New. Mrs. Mackey s arranging a brilliant party for her lovely house on Grosvenor Square, where Mrs. Chatfleld-Taylor is staying with her. Mme. Granier will give “les amants,” and Princess Hatafeldt will #ive a superb cotillion in the middle of the week on American lines. Some ex- travagant favors will be distributed. Her brother, Archer Huntington, and Countess Fabbricott! are getting up figures, and the cotillion wiil be different from anything be- fore seen In London. Mrs. Isaac Bell, the sister of James Gor- don Bennett, who has taken Lord Aber- deen’s house, 3§ Grosvenor street, has sent out invitations to a party July 16 Miss Bell is very much like her Intimate friend, Pauline Astor, whose picture hangs in a prominent place in the house. The water colors that cover the drawing room are mostly pictures of Quebec and varlous views of the Paramatta river, by Hoyt. There is a general American air about the furnishings, which makes it exceptional The young Choates, who were presented &t the latest courts, are here without any efinite program, spending their honey- moon in delightful almlessness, which has included a chat with the king and queen. Amongst the other Americans present at the same royal drawing room were Mr. McKim, | a New York architect, who has been a pro- | nounced success over here; Mrs. Lucius K. Wilmerding and her daughter, Mrs. W. J. White and Miss Pearl White of Cleve- land, O Mrs. Robert Chapin of New York, Miss Florence Haywood, commis sloner of the St. Louls exposition, and her friend, Miss Alice Stickney: Mrs. Stockton, the wife of the new naval attache, and Mrs. Gege. Late Arrivals. Among the many interesting arrivals from America s Justice O. W. Holmes of | the United States supreme court. Another visitor \s Mrs. Richard Olney. Other ar- rivals are Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Laden- burg of New York, W. R. Btrong, Miss Elisa B. Cutting, Bishop Gallagher, Mr. and Mrs. Bennett J. King and Mrs. Sousa. The Frank Vanderblits have come on here from a long stay on the continent. Among those who have returned to Amer- ica are Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Drexel. Mrs Drexel made one of the greatest successes from a soclal view point of the season.

They weren't bad at it, efther. The prince of Wales' eldest daughter, a bright, ponny girl with golden hair, a princess all over, must have practiced it before.” “The stately front, broad terrace, wealth of foliage and blue haze surprised and delighted us sald Mrs. Willlams. “Any- thing so calm, so beautiful 1 had never seen."” “And the best of all” Walker, “was the queen looking so swee George Walkers' marvelous teeth gleamed with added luster as he said: “In my dreams I had pictured appearing be- fore a king, but I never fancled anything 80 perfectly beautiful.

Before .the Buckingham palace appearance the boxes and stalls were full every night, but the cheaper parts of the house did not draw so well. Now it is “house full" at every performance.

PARIS, June 2.—(New York World Ca- blegram—Special Telegram.)—"Retroactive suicide” is the explanation given by sclen- tists to the strange chance that nearly killed a young Frenchman named Normand. Grief-stricken over the loss of his wife, he bought, some time ago, & gram of corrosive sublimate with the intention of ending his Iife. He poured the drug in some water and was about to take it when the door bell ranz. He went to answer and found ths postman with a letter announcing that an aunt had died and left him her heir. He renounced his intention of sucide and made a journey to claim his heritage. After three days he returned to his home and sad memories revived the desire to dfe. Once more the door bell rang at the decisive moment and he recelved from the postman jan invitation to a banquet. He deferred for a second timo his fatal Intention. Some days later the death he had pursued seemed to rise to meet him. He entered his dwelling late and in the darkness searched | on the shelves for something to drink.

WHITE L|NES_(LN THE NAILS German Scien About Thelr es and Classes Who Have Them. N (Copyright, 158, by Press Publishing Co.) BERLIN, June 2.—(New York World Ca- blegram—Special Telegram.)—A medical writer in the Frankfurter Zeltung gives some curious particulars about the white lines which cross finger nalls. These are signs of disturbance iu the organism at the time they were formed. They often form during serious fllness. The proportion of normally constituted persons who have these lines on thelr finger nails is from 10 to 11 per cent, while 4 per cent of criminals have them, 47 per cent of the demimonde, 4 per cent of idiots and 50 per cent of lunatics. Bufferers from melancholia show a large percentage, but the largest percentage, T, is among those who are perfodically dangerous luna- ties. The writer comes to the conclusion that these lines denote some degeneracy of the upper nervous system; that they are not purely physical, but are connected with psychical, moral and intellectual change.

CONSENSUS OF OPINION THAT HE WILL Pointed Out that He Will Oall as a Tourist and Not as President.

PARIS, June 27.—(New York World Ca- blegram—Special Telegram.)—Will Presi- dent Loubet see the pope when in Rome? That s the question that is agitating all circles here. It is thought that he will see the pope, but as a tourist and not as the head of a state. M. Flourens, once minister of forelgn aftairs and a deputy for Paris, spoke with authority on the subject at a recent po- litical banquet, saying “You know that M. Delcasse (the present forelgn minister) has decided that M. ‘Loubet shall kiss the pope's slipper. We are aware that the head of a Catholic country cannot pass into the Quirinal be- fore being received by the pope. It is not possible for M. Loubet to appear be- fore the pope as the head of a heretic state and that is why M. Delcasse wants M. Loubet presented to the pontiff as a tourist. What M. Loubet will do is simple. He will kneel down and present his com- pliments to the holy father. He will make excuses about the expulsion of the congregations. He will say: “‘It evidently was better to drive away the congregations, for they brought up bad scholars, such as Messrs. Combes (the premler), Waldeck-Rousseau, Troulllot, Vaile and Delcasse, while the lay schools give us such good liberals. It is to our Interest, holy father, to see our colleges crammed with scholars. “Then M. Loubet will speak on the ques- tion of bishops. “Mr. Combes,’ he will say, ‘wished me to approve the nominations of bishops without your consent, but I refused. “As this is true, the holy father will smile. After that M. Loubet and the pope will pray for the conversion of Premier Combes and his return to the bosom of the Roman church, and the interview will be terminated.” This speech made the greatest sensation, for in spite of the humor therein it con- tains many known facts President Loubet is a busy man these days between preparing for his trip to England“an® Kaly end hi# office duties. Last Wednesday, the ninth anniversary of the assassination of President Carnot, he visited Carnot's tomb in the Pantheon, ac- companied by President Carnot's sons. The next day he distributed prizes in the Cirque D'Hiver. When the contribution plate reached him the president was much embarrassed until his secretary, M. Com- barfeu, lent him a louls for an offering. The incldent delighted the audlience. It is thought here that M. Loubet will get, while In London, the grand cross of the | Order of the Bath, as King Edward can | hardly confer the Garter upon him. LIVES OFF OF GRAVEYARDS Entire Village Engaged Ralsing Flowers to Strew in Ceme- teries. (Copyright, 198, by Press Publishing Co.) PARIS, June 2I.—(New York World Cablegram—Special Telegram.)—The little village of Ollioules, not far from Toulon, in the south of France, has an odd industry which makes it one of the most prosperous communities In the republic. It furnishes immortelles ror all the grave- yards of Franoce. When one considers how punctiliously | the French care for the graves of their |dead, it 1s easy to realize what an | enormous quantity of immortelles are needed for that purpose. In the month of May its stretches of fields are all yellow with these long-lasting little flowers, whose fate Is to dwell with the dead Instead of the living. The harvest begins on Ascen- slon Thursday and I known in the country as the “Decade of the Immortelies.” The pickers have to be very careful to gather the flowers half open in the morn- ing, for if picked tn full flower they imme- diately wither. The dried flowers are sold by the welght in boxes of a hundred packages each, weighing fifty-five pounds. These boxes sell for from 38 to $16, accord- ing to condition Ollioules realizes an average of $40,00 a year from its fmmortelles. CANNOT REMAIN fots O to ® Russia.

World Cablegram—8pecial Telegram.)— Pardoned exiles in Siberia, by the recent ukase of the csar, will be compelled to return to Russia. Many Russian students were exiled to Siberia last year for taking part in revolutionary manifestations. Some months later the czar pardoned them, but they refused his clemency and remained in Siberia. Now they are going to be forced to return to European Russia, Siberia being forbidden to them as a place of exile. The czar has also lssued a ukase, making spying punishable with death. The case of Colonel Grimm provoked this severe decree. PRISON IS NOT SO IRKSOME Humberts Are Having a Real Time Serving Out Sem- ne.

LONDON, June 2.—The War office has recelved a telegram from Somallland en- abling it to contradict the French report of a British disaster. The last news of the Mullah was that he was hovering eastward of the British forces, threatening the lines between Burao and Bohottle, which were the only British means of communication with the coast. Genera! Manning was expected to reach Bohottle June 2 with reinforcements. The War office dispatch recelved today was sent by General Manning from Bo- hottle June 2 and announced his arrival there unopposed. He captured a number of the Mullah’s camels and sheep while on his way to Bohottle. The general said the Mulizh, with his fighting men, had crossed the British line of communications between Damot and Bohottle. General Manning added: The flight of the Mullah would have been turned into a route if it had been possible to send a column of sufficient strength from Bohottle. The prisoners captured say the tribesmen are disorganized. JEWISH SIDE OF THE STORY General Novitzki Attacked When He Assaulted His Prisoner. Only (Copyright, 133, by Press Publishing Co.)

RULES ROB MARINES OF RARE MEDALS i — Emperor Wisbes to Reward Attendants, but Tower Stops Him. SAILORS CRITICISED FOR CARELESSNESS New er Corres) ent Comments on Slowness in Saluting While Complimenting Intelligent Appearance of Visito: KIEL, June .—When Emperor Willlam was congratulated today, at the launching of the German armored cruiser Roon, on | his yacht Meteor winning the American cup yesterday, he replied: “The American skip- | pers brought me luck. I would not have | won If they had not been with me." Roon is the eleventh of Germany's ar- {mored crulsers. It was christened by Countess von Waldersee. | Rear Admiral Cotton, the eaptains of the American war ships and the members of the United States embassy were in the em- peror's party. The American squadron sa- luted the new crulser. Emperor Willlam and Prince Henry of Prussia took breakfast with Admiral Cot- ton on board Kearsarge today. In the party also were the German admirals, Am- bassador Tower, Chancellor von Buelow, Admiral von Tirpitz, the principal members of the emperor's household, all the members of the United States embassy, all the cap- tains and executive officers of the American ships and Admiral Cotton's staff. Cornelius Vanderbllt, R. W. Goelet, J. H. Smith, | James Lawrence and Edmund Bayles. Cotton Thanks Emperor. Admiral Cotton thanked the emperor for the cordial manner in which the squadron had been received. He referred to the large hearted hospi- tality that had made every hour of the Americans’ presence in German waters pleasant. Since he had met the emperor he understood why his subjects were so devoted to him. The feeling of the admira} and his men was that wherever his ma® jesty led the Germans would follow. The admiral then proposed the health of the emperor. Replying, Emperor Willlam sald he hoped whatever Impressions the admiral and his officers had received they had been no mors than they expected. Eight years had | elapsed since the imperial ensign was first floated from an American war ehip, New York. He remembered vividly the agree- able incidents of that visit and now he was to add these to the things that were not to be forgotten. The only thing was that the visits were too far apart. He was convinced that whenever the Stars and Stripes and the Royal Standard met they would together symbolize peace and civilization. The emperor then called for three cheers for the people of the United States. Marines Lose Medals. At the conclusion of the breakfast the emperor told Ambassador Tower that he wished to glve a medal to each of the three marines who had stood behind his chair. | “Would there be any impropriety, your | excellency, In my doing so?’ asked the emperor. “1 am sorry to say our regulations do not permit it," replied Mr. Tower. Then, sald the emperor, “I would like to give them watches, just as souvenirs.” “That, sir,” answered the ambassador, “is also impossible. “They, equaliy with myself, are servants of the country, and could not accept.” “And 1 cannot even give a pencil?™ con- tinued the emperor “No, your majesty. sald Mr. Tower. “Then,” sald Emperor Willlam, “Tell them T have the disposition to do so. Admiral Cotton, after the emperor left the ship, told the three marines, in the presence of the officers of the ship, what the emperor had sald. The emperor has presented Kearsarge with a sflver punch bowl and cover, about | sixteen inches high and more than two | feet wide Saflors Lax in Saluting. BERLIN, June 21.—The Kreuz Zeitung prints a letter from Kiel describing the American sallors as “young, slender, sinewy fellows with intelligent faces, but in ap- pearance and bearing exhibiting a careless- ness unknown among us. “They are not careful In giving and re- turning military salutes even toward thelr own superfors. Their behavior would causs a Prussian corporal's hair to stand on end. LESE MAJESTE PROSECUTIONS Two Notable Oases Which Are Caus- ing Comment in Ger- 1 (Copyright, 138, by Press Publishing Co.) BERLIN, June 7. —(New York World Ca- { blegram — Special Telegram.) — Two recent cuses of lese majeste have attracted wide attention. One was that of two stone | masons, Hendrich and Schmidt, accused of | breaking a plaster bust of Emperor Wil- Nam I, while half drunk, and were sen- | tenced each to a vear and a quarter In prison, a severe sentence for such an of- fence, as it was not the bust of the reign- \ln[ emperor that was smashed. | The other case was that of a socialist | | editor named Radloff, who was sentenced to one year In prison for criticising the emperor's method of exercising his preroga- tive of mercy, pointing out that Snellers, an officer who ran a citizen through the body, was pardoned after a short spell in & fortress, but that a poor little Polish girl who spat on the emperor's ipage on & medal was treated with more severity.
