Most successful in developing their latent capacities is a French nobleman | who in sporting circles is known as “Le Baron Ch. C.” His favorite mount is an ox that can assume various gaits, gallop swiftly over flats and leap nim- bly over obstacles. It obeys the rein or the rowel as readily as a horse. The bridle and saddle used with these rid- ing steers are similar in general design to those used with horses, but the bit is exceptionally powerful.

KEEPS THREE AGENTS BUSY Mrs. Potter Palmer’s Search for a House in London Is. Not Meeting With Suceess | ACTRESS HARD TO SUIT| Demands Acecommodations That Are Not Provided in | Houses for Rent in Capitali | Special Diepatch to The Call. LONDON, Dec. 10.—“As soon as| Christmas is over,” said a prominent | real estate agent to the writer yester- | day, “we expect to be kept busy finding town houses for the number of Ameri- cans who are coming over to swell the trans-Atlantie colonies in Mayfair and Belgravia.” | Mrs. Potter Palmer it seems has com- | missioned not one, but three, of the most fashionable of the West End real estate firms to secure her a house. It is said that her object in doing this is to create competition among the agents so that she may obtain the best value | for her money. She has aiready estab- | lighed a reputation for being one of the | shrewdest business women outside the Duchess of Roxburghe who has had! any dealings with these agents. She will not have a house already furnished —the furniture, she says, hides many defects; she will insist upon having every nook and corner examined by her own experts in building, construc- tion and sanitation. The scheme of decoration in the houses she has al- ready seen is not up to the standard of her tastes and requirements. They are all too tinsel, she says. She wants art combined with solidity. One firm of agents thinks that she must have a house specially built before she can be accommodat When she has found the house she is going to do the fur- nishing herself, and in this connection she means to have it principally in the Parisian style. The heating apparatus in the prir London mansions she does not like all. She will have the American tem installed if she can get her landlord to agree. The general sression is that she cannot get a eason” house on her terms and that in the end she will be obliged to have a permanent residence if she#neans to | put up in Mayfair or Belgravia. Another American woman who means t up a London establishment is 3 Bradley Martin Jr. She and her husband are looking out for a house in the neighborhood of Chesterfleld Gar- | dens, but at the moment it is doubtful | Whether anything is likely to be vacant to suit them in this quarter. They mean to make a stir in London soclety | next year, and much of the entertain- ing that has hitherto devolved on her mother-in-law will be taken over by the young bride. It is feared that the English climate will not suit her and that she must perforce spend much of her time between New York and Paris. She makes no secret of the fact that| she likes England, but she experienced one or two fogs in London during vi: its which she had paid before her mar- riage that caused her to form preju-/| dices which it will take some time to remove. —_———— Carries Big Treasure Shipment. The Pacific Mail liner City of Syd- ney sailed yesterday for Panama and ! {way ports with about twenty-five | cabin passengers.

To-morrow morning there will be an interruption in the taking of evidence in the Monnier wiil contest while an ef- fort is being made to throw the wid- ow's case out of court and have her punished for contempt. Yesterday aft- ernoon George Monnier Jr., who s trying to break the will of his reputed father, filed an affidavit charging Anna Monnier with irregularities in connec- tion with her deposition. The deposi- tion was taken on October 15 before Notary Edna T. Keating. Afterward, it is set forth, a copy as transcribed by’ the stenographer, was given to Mrs. Monnier to read and sign. The aflidavit charges that Mrs. Mon- nier has materially changed the deposi- tion and refuses to sign her testimony as ofl"n‘l.“tr’l mm. tShe h:a. it ‘c.l charged, c] ou qQuestions an answers, changed the in places and altered a portion of the tes- timony so as to give It a different meaning. The changes, it i8 declared, are writ- ten on the deposition in the handwrit- ing of her attorney, George D. Col- lins. In the absence of t::d{. ’Grd-.!mm the matter was present 0 Judge Sea- well, who issued the order to show cause, returnable at 10 o'clock to-mor- row morning before Judge Graham. Besides the question of contempt for de~ neglecting to sign the testimony and for refusing to permit it to be read to her the widow is ordered to show cause why her answer to young Mon- nier's contest should not be stricken from the flles beclug !ohl !;er conduct with the deposition. e Judge takes zance of this latter phase Mrs. will be thrown out po AR S Idbeled for $35,000. The ship W. F. Babcock, which ar- rived Friday at Boston, was libeled at Bermuda for $35,000 by the owners of the tugs which towed her to port. She was under an agreement to leave the matter to the underwriters. —— A girl’s first love affair demonstrates the happiness of being miserable. MRS, MONNIER [ WOULD PROTECT NUST EXPLAIN| THE FISHERMEN The sessions of the convention of the International Seamen's Union of America yesterday were largely de- voted to the considering of resolutions. The cause of the fishermen was again taken up and agtive legislation urged for the protection of their interests. In the future the fishermen will be in- cluded in all legislation looking toward the betterment of the condition of sea- men. The preservation of the salmon fisheries is first to be considered. The establishment of a marine hos- pital for sailors suffering with rheu- matism will be urged at the next ses- sion of Congress. A resolution was adopted favoring the passage of the Hearst bill, em- powering the Interstate Commerce Eddy for selling liquor to a minor. The suspicions of Policeman Cottle were aroused and on Thursday he gave John Behlmer, a boy 14 years of age, 25 cents and told him to go to the fruit store and buy a flask of whisky. The boy got the flask, hence the warrant. Stout Ladles. Seventeen years ago I feduced my weight fifty-three pounds, bust 8 waist 6 inches and hips 10 inches by § simple, harm- less remedy.
