BRIDG APS FROM EADS DROWNS spectators on Structure Unable to Save Well-Dressed Man Who Jumped From Middle Span. r ‘A well-dressed man leaped from the Eads Bridge at 11:15'a. m, Monday and was drowned. After striking the water he tried to save himself, but sank after the current had carried him some distance. Spectators on the bridge watched his struggles until he disappeared, unable to render any ajid. Themas Scannell of 115 South Fourth street, East St. Louis, a driver for the Wiegraffe Planing Mill Co., was driv- ing across the bridge toward East 8t. Louis when he noticed a man walking about 50 feet aliead of hitn on the south gide of the bridge. Over the center gpan the man stopped, threw his um- brelia over the rail and climbed to the top of the rail, leaped out far enough to clear the wires and his body shot Gown toward the water. Scannell and the drivers of two other vehicles rushed to the rail and saw the splash as the man’s body struck the Struggled Vainly in Water. He came to the surface a few yards Gown stream and it seemed that the nge had aroused in him a desire to . He struggled to keep his head ~ ie the water. As the swift current bore him down stream, his white face was raised ap- pealingly to the men at the rail of the bridge, but no sound came from him. They were powerless to do anything bu: look upon his struggies to save himself. Sank Atier Two Biocks. He managed to keep afloat until he had drifted two “blocks below the bridge, but he was getting weaker and weaker all the time and at last he disappeared and the waves closed over him and he was not seen again. Scannell proceeded to East St. Louis and told what he had seen. He says that the man was of good appearance. He wore a dark suit of clothes and a white straw hat. The hat fell from his head as he jumped and floated down stream a short distance ahead of the struggling man. ) Ku FATHER AND PACKED als BODY WN TRUNK Sd Mother and Sister of Slayer Uncover Belle Mawr (Pa.)

RAGES IN CELL AFTER HE DONS UNIFORM Prisoner Tries to Break From Jail, Saying He Must Report for Duty. HIS GUARD IS DOUBLED Slayer Is Taken Into Court Where Preliminary Hear- ing Is Postponed. By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Aug. 24.--Capt. Peter C. Hains, the slayer of William F. Arnis, is raving in his cell today. ile has ap- parently forgotten all about the shoot- ing of Annis, all about the trouble with his wife and his divorce suit. This morning he donned his military uniform and tried to force his way out of his cel), declaring that he had to report at once to his superior officer at Fort Hancock. A double watch has been put over him. He was later taken into court, where the preliminary examination of him and his brother was postponed until Friday by consent. Capt. Hains sent for his uniform yes- terday and it is was delivered at the Long Island City Jail. It was supposed that he wanted to wear it in the court- room and nothing further thought off the incident, though the prisoner has been. extremely nervous for several days and has not been giving rational replies to questions. When asked, about the incidents pre- ceding the shooting of Annis he has replied by incéherent statements about his love for his wife and about how is home was wrecked. His attorney has been unable to get clear statements from him. Tried to Force Way From Cell. This morning when Keeper Reilly went to the Captains cell he found the prisoner dressed in his fatigue uniform and pacing nervously back and forth in the narrow space. n. “I've been waiting for you,” raid Hains to. Reilly, as soon as the latter entered the cell. ‘‘You people seem to forget that I have to report to Col. Harris at noon today. So long, I’m off for the fort.”’ With these words Hains tried to push by the keeper, who grabbed hold of his wrists and forced him back. “What's the matter with you?’ said Hains. “Do you want to get me in trouble?’’ With considerable’ difficulty Capt. Hains was restrained and the door of the cell was again locked. A double guard was placed in front of the door to prevent the possibility of the pris- oner’s harming himself. Maj. Hains and one of the attornéys for the defense endeavored in vain to induct Capt. Hains to remove his uni- form and to discuss the murder after he had returned to the jail. The Cap- tain strode nervously back and forth in the corridor in front of his cell, say- ing: “You don’t understand. My leave:of absence expires today and I must get back to my post of duty.

WIDOW AN AMERICAN Yon Sternburg Sent to Wash- ington Because of Presi- dent’s Fondness for Him. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch HEIDELBERG, Germany, Aug. 24.— Freiherr Speck von Sternburg, German Ambassador to the United States and intimate friend of President Roosevelt. died at the Hotel Victoria here about midnight. His death was unexpected, as only a month ago Prof. Vincenz €zerny, * Skin specialist, had told Baron von cer, as he had thought, but a wapas, which he could cure, The Ambassador and his wife, who was Miss Lillian May Langham of Wyoming and Kentucsy had : been cheered by this opinion. The Baroness was with her husband until the end. The tmmediate cause of Baron von Sternburg’s death was inflammation of the lungs. Baron von Sternberg . and- his wife came to Germany in May. After a visit in Hamburg and other.German cities they arrived at Heidelberg a month ago and Prof. Czerny made a prolonged ex- amination of the diseased part of the left side of the Ambassador’s head be- fore announcing his diagnosis. Hoped for a Recovery. Baron von Sternberg is described as baving felt that his long agony was nearly over and that soon he would be a well man again. His wife also shared that hope. It had been arranged that Baron von Sternburg should go to Berlin the middle of September to be received in audi- ence by Emperor William previous to his destrable that the Ambassador be at his post during the concluciing weeks of the presidential campaign. No arrangements yet have been made for the funeral of the Ambassador. The BKaron’s father, whe is W ears old, lives on the family estate near Dresden and it is possible that the burial will take place there. Baroness von Sternburg has received the following telegram from Emperor William: “I am deeply shaken by the unexpect- ed news of the passing away of your husband, and I desire to express to you my heartfelt sympathy. I lose in him a valuable friend anda distinguished diplomatist, who has rendered importanr service to me and the Fatherland, ana whom it will be ‘most difficult to’ re- place. May God give you, in your great grief, his heavenly consolation. “WILHELM.” Born in England. Baron von Sternburg was 56 years old and was born in Leeds, England. He was married in London to Miss Lang- ham, and his wife was known as one of the most gracious hostesses and en- tertainers in the German diplomatic corps, | After a brilliant career as a soldier he joined the diplomatic service in 1890 and was made First Secretary: of the Pekin Legation. He was afterward charge d’affaires at Belgrade and be. came First Secretary of the German Kmbassy at Washington 10 years ago, Two years later he was made German Consul for India and Ceylon. Popular tn Washington. WASHINGTON, Aug. 2%4.—The death of Ambassador von Sternburg removes from the diplomatic corps !n Washing- ton probably its best known member. Baron von Sternburg and Ambassador Jusserand of France, because of their personal friendship for President Roose. velt, have always been the leaders of the corps and rivals in favor at the White House. To his intimates . Baron Sternbure’s death did not come as a surprise. Only his own indomitable will and cour- age, it is thought, prolonged his life thus far. Five years ago he returned to this city after a brief service as German consul at Calcutta, with a red spot just above his left ear. He said it was tho result of the bite of some poisonous tropical insect received while sleeping in a tent in India. The best doctors and surgeons of this and his own country were consulted but the poison spread, affecting his ear eyes and nose. In spite of it all Baroy Sternburg maintained the geniality of temper which made him popular here. When Col, Roosevelt was a civi! gery. ice commiasionet, living in Washington, Baron von Sternburg was stcretary oy the German Embassy here. Both were ethietic in their avocations, fond of horseback riding, of tennis, of walking and other strenuous pastimes, Their similar habits brought them togeths, and their fast friendship was tormeu there, Subsequently Von Sternburg wa, transferred to the Orient.

Gill, Chief of Detectives of East St. Louis, has euwt short his 10 days’ vacation because he didn’t find the country as. restful as he thought he would. He went to Lebanon, IIL, vacation at the home of his mother-in- law, Mrs. Galbreath. On the fourth day of his stay a bull tried to butt him Into a lake and Saturday he stepped into a bumble bee nest. The bees chased him two miles and he decided that sylvan: joys are not what they are cracked up to be. Before he went away he said to sev- eral men on ..s staff: “I’m not going to make a foo! of my- self tramping around in the woods hunt- ing like some of you fellows do. The Only way to take a vacation is to rest. A fellow that weighs 240 pounds, as I do, has no business trying to be a Nimrod, It’s me for the quiet tife of the farm.” Tackicd In a Paature, Gill was walking across a pasture when the first incident that disturbed his quiet occurred. The weather was hot and he wiped his brow with a red bandanna handker- chief. There was a noire behind him like the rushing of an automobile and he rolled out of the way just ‘in time to escape the charging bull. Even at that he would have remained at Lebanon but for the bees. He was walking through his mother- in-law’s garden when he bumped into the nest. To get away from the bees he had to run through cornfields.* Some of the bees stung him but they gave up the chase at last and Gill bought a ticket for home.

German Ambassador Had Been Told He Would Soon Be Cured.

Continued on Page Fight.

Ambassador to the United States he was German Consul-General at Calcutta. In 1902 the Baron and his wife visited the United States and they were the first house guests of President Roosevelt at the remodeled White House. When the young sister of the Baron- ess, Miss Ivy Langham, was betrothed to Viscount de Faramound, the French naval attache here, Mrs. Roosevelt ex- tended many courtesies to the young couple at the White House because of the President's fondness for Baron von Sternburg. At this time Baron von Holleben was the German Ambassador to the United States. He was a bachelor, did not care for society and let the German embassy decline socially. Teunis Factor in Diplomacy. Such was the situation whe. M. Jus- serand was appointed the Ambassador of France and soon became the daily op- ponent of President Roosevel. on the tennis court. Kaiser Wilhelm, seeing the increasing prestige of the French embassy, re- called the fondness of the Roosevelt family for Speck von Sternburg and transferred the young diplomat* from Calcutta to Washington. Wife a Lender in Society. The President, according to the Wash- ington gossip, always fondly called the Ambassador ‘Speck.”’ The German embassy under the di- rection of Von Sternburg and his Ameri- can wife, speedily became a social cen- ter of Washington and was the scene of many brilliant affairs. While a resident of the American cap- ital the Baron became intimately as- sociated with men in civil and officia) life other than President Roosevelt Among these wefe Assistant Secretary of State Adee and Gifford Pinchot, Chief Forester of the United States. They and the President were together much of the time. Some of them were interested enthusiastically in athletié sports. Baron von Sternburg and Pres. ident Roosevelt had much in common. Both were fine students and eminent scholars. Baron Sternburg, although small of stature, and seemingly delicate of phys- ique, was an accomplished horseman, and he and Mr. Roosevelt rode a great deal together. In the long rides ana walks which they took about Washing. ton, the friendship which in later years was to be so vaiuable both to America and Germany were cemented, Often at White House. Baron Sternburg always was a we!- come guest at the White House. He sustained with the President probably more intimate personal and official re. lations than any other diplomat accred. ited to Washington. It is recognized here that the sym- pathy and devotion of Baroness Stern. burg te the Ambassador contributed greatly to cheer him and prolong his life. Acting Secretary Adee expressed today his great personal sorrow at the death of Ambassador Sternburg. He cabled immediately to the Baroness and ajgo, on behalf of the State Department, to the German Foreign Office an expression of personal and official condolences, Baroness von Sternbur_ is a daughter of Charlies Langham, an hman who 3 years ago settled in Wyoming Her mother is a native of Georgia wi. spent her early life abroad. Sitthood in The daughter spent her gees and 12 years private sohools and

a Kentucky cities after that, and was a social leader in the State. Von Goetzen Likely Successor. BERLIN, Aug. 24.—The Foreign Of- fice, upon receiving announcements of the death of Baron von Sternberg sent a cablegram to Count Hermann von Hatzfeldt-Wildenburg, the German Charge D’Affaires at Washington, in- structing him to fnform President Roosevelt that the question of a stec- cessor to the Baron -probably would not be settled until Prince von Buelow, the Imperial chancellor, saw the Em- peror, which might not be until the sec- ond week in September. Various diplomatic changes in pros- pect are to be gazetted in October and among them probably will be a suc- cessor to the dead ambassador to Washington. - Some of the diplomats under consid- eration for this post are Count von Goetzen, the Prussian minister at Ham- burg; Herr von Reichenau, the German minister to Brazil and Dr. von Mumm Van Schwarzenstein, the ambassador to Japan. An American diplomatist in conversa- tion with Emperor William in January of this year said something complimen- tary of Count von Goetzen. Kaiser Likes Von Goetzen. ‘“T am giad to hear you say this,’’ re- plied the Emperor, “because Count von Goetzen will be the next ambassador to Washington.”’ Although the intention of the Emperor in this regard appeared definité when he spoke, the report that the Count had been selected to succeed Baron Von Sternburg was so widely gossiped that there arose a certain amount of feeling in the German diplomatic service against the choice of this young .munister for so desirable an embassy and this feeling may cause a revision of the previous decision on the part of the Empefor and his chanceilor. Count von Goetzen is a brilliant and amiable man, 42 years o'd. He has seen a variety of service, including jhe pogt of military attache at Washingfn from 1896 to. 1900. He was Governor of Ger- man East Africa for five years. In February of this year he - was appointed Minister at Hamburg. 4 Countess Von Goetzen American, Count von Goetzen's wife is an Ameri- can. She was a Mrs. May Stanley Lay of Baltimore. Her maiden name was Loney. Herr von: Reichenau was first secre- tary of the German embassy at Wash- ington from 1896 to 1898. He is known as a specialist in North and South American affairs. He was German Min- ister to Gautemala and Chile before he was sent to Brazil and he has long been regarded in the foreign office as marked for promotion. Baron von Mumm von Schwarzenstein, who has been described as the logical successor to Baron von Sternburg, often has said that he would racher be given the qnbassy at Washington than any Other post in the service. He was a Candidate before Paron von Sternburg for the appointment. Although ‘he is well satisfied with Tokio, he still hopes for the Washington appointment. WHITE MAN SHOOTS MULATTO IRL. BUT CHINAMAN FLEES te Because Ethel Williams, a mulatto, would not desert a Chinaman, Fred Leo, Charles McMahon, a White man, shot her through the head and chest. The Chinaman was in the room at 2032 Chestnut street, but before McMahon could fire at him he fled. McMahon then fired a ball into his own chest. The Williams woman and McMahon are in the City Hospital In a critical condition from their wounds. When McMahon went to the house he Was met by Mattie Carter, sister to the Williams woman.

7 ANNERS BEFORE AVOR PUZZLES BRIDGE BOOMERS a

Committee to Hold Meeting to Decide How to Act and What to Act.

Free bridge workers have found it necessary to hold another meeting to consider the manner in which they shall approach Mayor Wells when they call on him to find out what is the matter with the bridge work. A meeting was arranged Monday, to be held during the afternoon in Charles F. Ziebold’s o.iice, that the bridge ad- vocates might decide just wnat to ask the Mayor, and how to put it, to keep him from pressing an electric button and having them all thrust into dun- geons. President O’Reilly’s suggestion that the members Wear their hats and shoes when they co: : to his office has caused ‘some members to consider a plan to wear hobnailed boots. “The Mayor insists that he be judged solely by his official documents,” said one of, his prospective callers Monday. “No otber official ever was judged that }way, and no official should be, but if we grant his request, then we have a right to wemand that he stick to our official documents. And we have never put anything disrespectful to him or his office in our records, even if we have talked a bit sharply about him in our meetings.” WOMAN CHARGES HUSBAND ~-MENACED HER WITH KNIFE Son-in-Law, Drawn Into Grothaus’ Family Row, Is Defended by His Wife. A warrant was issued Monday charg- ing Joseph Grothaus, arrested on fis wife’s complaint, with carrying con- cealed weapons. Mrs. Grothaus’ com- plaint, made to a policeman Saturday night, was that Grothaus threatened to cut her throat with a butcher knife. According to the wife, Grothaus threatened also to use the butcher knife on James Condon, his son-in-law, hus- band of Grothaus’ daughter by a form er marriage. Mrs, Condon declared Monday that the use of her husband’s name by Grothaus and ‘his wife in connection with their trouble was unjustified. Sne said she had convinced herself that Condon had never sought the society of Mrs. Grothaus. Condon says he was wrongfully drawn into the case.

MISS. OREXEL, LONDON BELLE 70 WED A LOR

ed Herbert Vane-Tempest Is the “Fairy Prince” of Whom City Has Guessed.

WANTED TO BE A NUN

American Beauty Induced by Her Mother to Remain in Society.

Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York World. LONDON, Aug. %.—Lord Herbert Vane-Tempest is the “fairy prince’’ over whose indentity London has been puzzling, who will marry the rich Miss Margaretta Drexel, grandaughter of Anthony J. Drexel. She has been consid- ered, since the marriage of Miss Jean Reid, daughter of the United States Am- bassador, the most eligible catch of the season. ‘Who was the ‘fairy prince?’’’ Lon- don asked, who was to be her husband. No hint of his identity at that time came from the young woman herself or her mother. But announcements now are being made privately to friends of the family that the betrothal exists. The wedding date has not yet been set. Miss Drexel’s engagement is expected to be announced early in September. Lord Herbert has been a close friend of the Drexels and is associated with A. J. Drexel, father of the bride-to-be, in many business deals. Girl of Patrician Type. But to Miss Drexel—the envy of every other London girl today. Her’s is the beauty of the exquisite patrician type. She has great, limpid eyes of gray-blue, with long curling lashes and a complexion of ivory white, just touched with the roses of youth. Two. little dimples make their homes in her cheeks and there is a tiny red mouth like Cupids bow. She has the broad, low brow that artists delight in, all crowned with a mass of wavy chest- nut hair. She is tall and slender: her perfect figure makes her the admira- jtion of everybody, whenever she goes. Miss Drexel fs not of the butterfly type. She is devoteu to musit; she Plays the ‘cello with distinct f ’ She sings with admirable technique d poise—she shows a voice that has en wondrously trained, though it has only the strength for the drawing room. Per- haps she is at her best in her own home accompanying herself on her Syuitar, which she plays with all the fervor and grace of the Spaniard. Wanted to Take the Veil, More than this—the Drexels have al- ways been devoted to the church. It was whispered when Miss Drexel was getting ready to leave the convent where she spent so many years that she would eventually take the veil. How- ever, her parents induced her to leave this for later years—they insisted upon her seeing something of life before she left it forever. And now—so it is said— not forsake the world, but devote her- self to doing her charities where she is better fitted to bestow them. Mrs. Drexel, who was Miss Margarita Armstrong of Philadelphia, herself a beautiful matron, appreciates clothes and spends a fortune annually upon her raiment and as much more upon her daughter's. “She would look lovely in anything,” laughs London, ‘‘but when she comes out in something from Worth or Paquin, it is little wonder that she causes a sen- sation.”’ During the London season which has now ended Miss Drexel has been the admiration of socfety. Few girls in the smartest set have ever enjoyed the buzz of admiration that has greeted her en- trance into a drawing room. Few have met His Majesty, the King, on such cordial terms. A few nights ago her mother gave 4 grand bal} at their home in Carlton House Terrace, closing the London sea- son there. Miss Drexel set a& new fashion—she wore no jewels of any kind, though possessed of enough to ransom a King. She Wore No Jewels. She was in palest blue shimmering silk. Her hair was simply parted and she looked the beautiful young gir! thai she was. More than one who has been in *London society for years remarked that her entire costume was most befit- ting and appropriate to her delicate, refined beauty. Some hinted that it would be a good thing if other young girls, out for their first season or 680, would take their hint from the Amer- ican girl who had everything, and drop their tendency to vie with their mothers in their display of marvelous jewels. At another dance given by Mrs. Drex- el at which royalty was present, Miss Drexel was equally simple in her attire. She wore soft pink tulle. Scattered over it were tiny pink rosebuds; in the pe- a tiny diamond dew- og eS of the same beg tee nestled in her fair hair and _in per an she carried a bunch of little be nese. buds.

Powder burns were found about the wound by three physicians. } The 32-caliber bullet had separated into three pieces. One was found near the entrance of the wound behind the right ear, a second lay between the two tables of the skull, and the third was found in the brain substance. The physicians who conducted the autopsy concluded that the fatal shot was fired from the right, and gave it as their opinion that it would be possi- pie for a man to end his life in that way.

Lawyer Advances His Theory. Judge E. T. Morris, one of the attor- neys who will represent the women when the murder case comes to trial, said today to the Post-Dispatch cor- réspondent: : “Morris Stein killed Hester Porter while temporarily insane and then shot himself. He wrote the note found in his pocket before he fired any of the three shots. There cannot be any other rea- sonable explanation of the tragedy. “Hiad either Mrs. Stein or Mrs. Bay- ard killed those two persons, it would have been insanity on their part to have written that note. They must have realized that in their haste they could not have achieved a forgery that would stand in any court. “As a matter of fact, neither woman wrote the note. The prosecutor wil! not be able, in our opinion, to substantiate his statement that the handwriting is not that of Stein. The fact that he was laboring under intense mental stress would account for 4iscrepancies in the handwriting.” ° Cause Is Kept Secret. “What was the cause of this menta! lapse?”’ Judge Morris was asked. “I do not care to go into that now,” ‘the replied. “I have reason to believe that Stein ‘was werrying about something and that he worried until his reason was de- “throned.. He left Des Moines without notifying his employes or his friends that he was going. His watch was found on a couch in his house, indicat- ing that he had dressed hurriedly for the trip and that he was so preoccupied he neglected to dress properly. “He did not carry a suitcase or any Other baggage, so far as I have been able to learn, “We will not submit to extradition of the prisoners unless the Ohio authorities can show that their extradition is justi- fied by the. evidence they have. It is all circumstantial, and the cimcumstan- tial evidence that Stein committed sui- cide is as strong as the evidence that he was siain by either of the two pris: oners, Motive Is Lacking. “There was no motive for Mrs. Stein or Mrs. Bayard to kill that man and Miss Porter. The comparatively smal! lite insurance he carried, $iw0 in all, would not driv> a woman like Mrs. Stein to murder her husband. “When I asked Mrs. Stein about this and said: ‘I will not touch a penny of it. I did not ‘want his insurance. I only wanted Stein carried a $3000 policy with the Modern Woodmen and $.~ with the Penna Mutual. Under a clause in the Woodmen's policy the insurance would “not be paid if it were established that Stein killed himself. Wealth Caused Trouwbic. It was disclosed today that for years previous to Miss Hester Porter's mys- terious death, the Loudonville recluse and her Iowa relatives, including Mrs. Bayard, the prisoner, were not on friendly terms. The principal reason, according to a statement made today by her brother, Emery Porter, was that she wae considered wealthy by her reia- tives, most of whom are in moderate but she had never shown a willingness to assist them financially, and whenever f° . loaned .them small sums, she required them to give notes with first-class secgrity, * Porter admitted today that the ram. ily of ten had discussed the ultimate -Gigposition of Hester Porter's property @hd they wer» all ‘Miss Porter died she would not leave ther little fortune to any of her 1.18 Is in line with the “theory of Prosecuting Attorney Frey's agreed that when “era or sisters, contention that it was generally under- stood in Loudonville that Mies Porter had cut off all her near relatives and had willed her property to her niece,

hoarded every penny she got her fing- ers on. I have no idea what her prop- erty was worth all told, but she was a shrewd business woman. She would not lend money to her own relatives without gilt-edged security. “My other sister, Mary, who now is a prisoner, was a spendthrift. A % bill would burn a hole in her purse. She never could keep money. But she was a good woman, and I know she was not mixed up in any crime that occurred in Stein’s house. “Mary and the rest of us often had - talked about Hester's property anda] what she would do with it when she died. But none of us wanted her money. When someone asked me some time ago whe would be the beneficiary under Hes- ter’s will, I replied, ‘I don’t know and I don’t gtve a damn.’ I think that’s the way we al! feel about it. *“*‘Yes, Hester was a miser if ever there was one. She would not spend any money on anything that was not abso- lutely necessary to keep her alive. “\, hy, she even bought the furniture for the house in Loudonville by selling soap. And she wouldn't lend a dollar to any of her own blood relatives with- out the finest kind of security. ‘“‘When Mary and Mrs. Stein decided to visit Loudonville, they asked my wife to go with them, but Hester never had hkeu my wife and she decided to stay at home. *“‘Mary didn’t have any money to make the trip with and_I think Stein furnished the funds...

Will Was to Be a Surprise. “None of us acquired as much prop- erty as Hester did with this small capital as a start. She was a natural born money-maker. But she never did anything for the familly with her money, “Then Mrs. Bayard and Hester Por- ter were not on friendly terms?’ Por- ter was asked. “Well, nobody was on exactly friendly terms with Hester,’ her brother re- plied. “She repelled friendly advances from her relatives. Once when she was visit- ing here She said to us, “You'll all. be surprised when you see my will. Every- body who its expecting to get any money from me will get a shock.

Wanted Her to Divide Money. “Some of my brothers and sisters thought she ought to divide the orig- inal $700 with us that she inherited from father, because we all had worked for the money father left when he died, but I don’t think they ever said anything to Hester about it.

This is the last week in St. Louis for Miss Ida Adair, who has the part of the Princess of Dornheim. Sne will depart tur Cincinnati to take up stock work next week. Her interpretation of her part in “‘The Pride of Jenntico’’ was more nearly free from stiffness than any in which she has been seen here this season. She gave the character a pretty comedy turn which helped, in the end, to strengthen it. Hackett lacked vitality until the duel. He is an expert with a sword, and ap- parently the exercise of the sharp com- bat warmed him into liviier apprecia- tion of his part. Credit should be given to Eda Bruna, who fired the part of the treacherous little gypsy into a very lifelike clar- acterization. It was the most congenia! part she has had this summer, and she did well in it. Fantana at Delmar. The tuneful and pretty ‘“‘Fantana” waa sung last evening at velmar Gar- den by a prima donna new to Delmar audiences. Miss Julia Brewer, with. only two days’ notice of the illness of Miss Mary Quive, prepared herself remarka- bly well for the’ performance, and it went forward without a hitch. Miss Brewer, a St. Louis girl, has a delightful and highly trained soprano, and she is in excellent voice. She great- ly pleased the audience, which was some- what at loss when first it failed to see Miss Quive. A Adelaide Sharp; who took the part of the little slavey, shared honors’ with Miss Brewer. Her singing of ‘“‘My Word” was especially original and di- verting. The piece Js well staged, and the other members of the cast have con- genial parts.

Tillie Goldberg, aged 11, and her broth- ers, Leon, aged 8 and Sammy, who Is only 5, gave an entertainment at their homie, 1816 Carr street, last Sunday aft- ernoon, which realized $1.12 for the Post-Dispatch Pure Milk and Free Ice Fund. Tillie and Leon appeared in a little playlet entitled ‘‘The Fairy. Who Wish- ed a Wish,” and greatly distinguished themselves. Sammy, not ,to be outdone, conducted a lemonade stand—and great- ly disinguished himself, too. Mabel, aged 10, and Frank Charles Reeve, aged 5, children of Police Officer Frank Reeve, gave a charitable carnival in the front yard of their home, 2928 Glasgow avenue, last Thursday, from noon to 6 p. m., and realized $7.52 for the Post-Dispatch Pure Milk and Free Ice Fund. They were assisted by little friends who live at: 2924 Glasgow ave- nue. Mabel made $6 of the above amount from articles sold at a little bazaar un- der her management, and Frank made $1.52 at a lemonade stand which he con- ducted. Shaare Zedek Young People Melp. The Shaare Zéedek Young People’s Ald Society of St. Louis, which has now just disbanded, voted to donate to the Post-Dispatch Pure Milk and Free Ice Fund a balance of $17.55 which remained in the treasury, and Treasurer J. Ro- senblatt brought a check for that amount to the Post-Dispatch. The committee, consisting of J. B. Un- ger, Shelby Rosenbaum and I. Gosco- vitz, appointed to examine the freas- urer’s books, reported that it found them correct. There was a balance of $67.55, and, after deducting $50 for the use of the Shaare Zedek congregation's hall, the committee. recommended that the $17.55 be given to the Pure Milk and Free Ice Fund, which was done, as | stated. * The Shaare Zedek Young People’s Aid Society has been in existence three years and it was stated at the last meeting that the society should disband because of lack of harmony among its members. A new society, known as the Fairmount Social Club, was organized, with 36 members and the following of- ficers were elected: Isadore A.

People who know this danger will not take that risk. But Van Camp’s is not solely for drinking. It is the best milk in the world for cooking—best for coffee—best for any use. Yet it is cheaper than miik- man’s milk. One ten-cent can will be enough to convince you. Won’t you order that can today? Make Your Milk Dishes With Whole Milk. You don’t get the whole milk when you buy from the milkman. The reason is this: Milk that stands awhile separates. The butter fat rises and the solids fall. So-you get all the butter fat only when served from the top of the can. Thus you are surprised, when you first cook with Van Camp’s, at the delicious flavor it gives to a milk dish. You won- der what we have added—what we have done—to make the milk seem so good. We have added nothing at all. Van Camp’s is simply the whole, rich milk, just as it comes from the cow. You. get all of the butter fat, all of the solids. You never get them all in raw milk. That flavor belongs to your cdoking. You will get it every time in milk dishes made with Van Camp’s. We issue a Cook Book—free. It tells how to make all sorts of milk dishes, and gives the whole cost of each. Ask us to send it to you. Nothing But Milk. Van Camp’s is simply rich, Holstein milk with two-thirds the water evapo- rated. added—no sugar, no starch, no pre- servative. And nothing is subtracted, save part of the water, which you can put back when you get it. It is simply pure milk—nothing but milk—put up in a convenient and ster- ilized form. Analysis shows about 30 per cent of solids, of which 8 per cent is butter fat. It’s Economical.

Van Camp’s—with all of its good- ness—is cheaper than milkman’s milk. _ It’s as thick as thick cream. So thick that you add one part water for coffee. Yet it doesn’t cost half what you pay your milkman for cream. Add two parts water and you have rich milk. “The cost of such milk, when you buy Van Camp’s by the case, runs about six cents per quart. Then you have ne waste—no milk left over. That saving in a year is enormous. And Van Camp’s means a cow in your kitchen. Rich milk or cream always on tap. And always fresh—always the same. Yet such milk, in such shape, costs you actually less than raw milk bought as you want it. | No Germs—No Danger, But the great fact about Van Camp’s is the fact that it’s germless milk. Our cows are inspected; so are the men who milk them. There are no tuber- cular cows, no diseased milkmen, to con- vey their infections to Van Camp’s Milk. Our dairies are sanitary. Our fac tories, where the milk is evaporated, are Please think what that means. og In Washington, D. C., it was recently. found that 11 per cent of the dealers: were selling tubercular milk. — cent of the milk, taken fi rom ples, proved fatal to pigs died of tuberculosis. » That’s but one of the ‘eee rank in using raw milk. Any disease germ — that gets into milk breeds millions nore. like it within a few hours. A great deal of iHness is known a you think of a reason for taking risks when you can get Van Camp’s? For Children.

When immigrant babies arrive in New York they are fed on Van Camp’s Milk. Their food is prescribed by physicians— by-men who know the dangers that lurk in raw milk. Two-thirds the mortality of children is due simply to germs in milk. Raw milk, like raw meat, is an unfit food. There is too much danger of germ infection. Let your children drink Van Camp’s, They will come to love the slight almond flavor, due to sterilizafion. For that flavor means that the milk is pure. Not a germ of any kind—harmless or harm- , ful-—exists in ‘Van Camp's Milk, Van Camp’s Milk comes in 5 and 10 cent cans—at your grocer’s.. The first can will convince you.

AUTOISTS AND JERSEY JUSTICE. A Philadalphia physician was arrested for over- on his way to Atlantic City, N. le. He paid the fine, $13,990, It is by such nks of jolly goodfellowship that autoists end¢ar themselves to the populace. A farmer who hds lost his little daughter under ig devil wagon going fifty miles @ public highway must be a surly fellow if he cannot appreciate a joke like this, and forget all about his affliction. Nevertheless sensible people will wish that neurotic autoists would not show so much con- tempt for the comfort and safety of the\ popu- lace. And it is not asking too much of the sane Owners and drivers of these machines, whose wit’ are not addled by the speed mania to beg them to uge their influence to put a stop to such vio- lations of ordinary human right. A fooly even though he owns the biggest and most expensive ‘automobile in the country, will not venture to break the rules of the road laid down by auto- ists.” He laughs at Jersey justice, but the opin- ion ef the great body of automobile owners he will hot lightly disregard.

The attempt to smuggle works of art of great value by two good women will raise the ques- tion: of feminine competence to deal with affairs, not of every day experience, One of these ladies says she has a man to look after her expenditures, mentioning a pay- ment of $70,000 of which she pleads her own ignorance. It is strange that a woman who employs a man in such affairs did not hire an- other one to attend to the details of shipping and receiving her valuable paintings. In that case she might have pleaded ignorance, and the plea” would probably have been accepted? But instead, she employs another woman who, by her own confession, did not know what she was about. She did know, however, that she meant no Wrong. She made a false declaration and a false. affidavit, not knowing them to be false. And now probably, she is wondering what all the fussis about. A woman who does not know the legal differ- ence at the custom house between a trunk full of Wearing apparel and an old master in a box, is certainly not qualified to deal with custom- house officials on terms of equality. All affi- davits have, to her, the same general appear- ance; she will swear to one as willingly~as to another, and if the inspector will only make hasté and have it over, she will swear to both of'them, or all of them. -“It is only a ‘matter of form.” fe It lg a maxim that “ignorance of the law does not excuse.”’ If the rule is applied in this case

it ig to be feared the two ladies have made a th are turning the > pw fa - mess of it. But infancy excuses, and if will plead that, probably they can escape h nothing worse than a good scare and pay- ment of the duties. Certainly nothing more in- fantile can be imagined than this melodramatic attempt to beat the law. The eunning-of it was the curtning of little children playing peek-a-boo with daddy, behind mamma's skirts, where he. can’t possibly find them.- °* /_ i, i.

“The army has some very dear people, but the life at best is a narrow one. They can only read, and that grows tiresome at times. © So they talk about some one." So firs. i | tariff taxation.

FREIGHT RATES AND THE TARIFF. Mr. Bryan need not lack instances to prove the oppressive burden laid upon the people of this country by excessive tariff taxation. 7 The railroads are threatening the country with @ general advance of freight rates on the plea that the present rates are too low to meet rafl-, road charges and expenses. An advance of freight rates will mean an advance on the price of the necessaries of life which have advanced within ten years 44 per cent. It will mean that it will cost more to feed, house and clothe every man, woman and child in the country. It will mean a heavier pressure of expenses and suffering upon wage earners and salaried workers who are out of work, or are working on refluced time or pay. Yet the railroads are forced:to pay from $7 to $8 a ton‘more for steel rails than they can be bought for abroad. The Steel Trust exacts this tribute from the railroads because the tariff gives it that privilege. Mr. Schwab says that the trust makes steel rails for $12 a ton as compared with a cost of $19 in Welsh steel mills. The Steel Trust in com- petition with the products of the English steel mills sells rails from 25 to 30 per cent lower abroad than at home despite the difference in the cost of transportation. The Steel Trust makes the rails at a cost of $7 less than the Welsh mills and adds another $8 to their profits through the tariff’ privilege. In one year the Steel Trust’s earnings reached the enormous sum of $160,000,000. The railroads pay more or less tribute of the same kind on all the manufactured products which they use in the construction of the roads and their equipment, but they, of course, shift all of it on the public through rates, The public must pay in increased cost of living not only all the robber profits of overcapitalization, but all the excessive cost of railroad materials due to That is where the shoe pinches the people. They must sweat under all of these burdens by which the Government enriches the few at the expenre of the many. The issue of Democracy’vs. Plutocracy is very clear in this enrichment of the few at the ex- pense of the many. In view of the fact that the Steel Trust and kindred pfgtected interests have dictated the tariff schedules in the past and ex- pect to dictate in the future so long as the Re- publican party is in power it is needless to say which side of the issue is represented by Mr. Taft and whigh by Mr. Bryan. Mr. Bryan stands squerely on an anti-privi- lege, anti-monopoly platform and is earnestly ad- vocating the reduction of the tariff. He is op- posed by every plutocratic interest in the coun- try. On the other hand Mr. Taft’s candidacy is financed and supported ‘by the plutocratic in- terests. , hi he rw

All the primary laws are said to be defective, but there is no movement to abolish the new scheme. Only the politicians propose this back- ward step. i i > vy A PRACTICAL OPTIMIST, Mr. Carroll D. Wright has joined the band of practical optimists making a crusade however on his own hook against the phrase “these degen- erate times.”’ Whether Mr. Wright’s objection is due to his belief that the times are not degenerate, or to an opinion that, even if they are, it is not op- timist'c to mention the fact, is a question not answered in the telegraphed reports of his re- marks. [t makes no difference, however. Don’t speak of unpleasant facts, and if you can do so without embarrassment, deny them. The recent Congress of Drummers adopted the optimistic device: “Smile, darn you, smile.” This is in the right spirit of true optimism. It ‘has, besides a royal precedent. A Prussian king lashed his soldiers with a stiff cane, crying out, “Love me, d— you, love me.” They all loved him mightily. ‘ - By means of such robust thoughts we help along the good cause. Weare all well to do, we are all growing richer. Every man has a job. By sych affirmations we can bring into existence a fact which is. lurking around the corner, afraid to emerge into view because eon- trary facts are present in consciousness. But, as there is nothing either good or bad, but think- ing makes it so,,so we can make times good or bad, healthy or degenerate, according as we think them the one or the other. Altogether then, thifk good thoughts and watch the good facts troop in. Altogether now. > >. a President Roosevelt’s benevolent proposal to help the farmers by investigating their condition is not well received by the farmers who suggest that if the President would make tariff and trust monopolists get off their backs they could help themselves. .

THE NAME OF THE UNIVERSITY. Washington University has a name about which no local associations cluster, & name which sug- gests nothing of history or circumstances which cannot be claimed with equal right by every other city in the country. : There are six Washington universities or col- leges in the country, besides a Washington and Jefferson and a Washington and Lee. Of these the Washington State College at Pullman, Wash., the University of Washington, Seattle, and the George Washington University, Washington, D. C., are: flourishing institutions if the number of instriicfors and students is a‘ good criterion of prosperity. To achieve the fullest possible usefulness and influence an institution of learning should be: When Washington Univ probably in the ical’ tn e last men-

I imagine much of this is but a reflection of persons working in the interest of European traders who, for long periods. previous to the advent of this virile and patriotic ruler, have been permitted to fatten on } the commerce of that country, which is almost entire- ly under their control. Now that Castro has taken a firm stand, that is perfectly justifiable, ard ousted some of those tranatlantic representatives on account of gross offenses to himself’ and in deflance of the’ laws of his country, a clamor is raised to have our Government act as constable and collection agent to “spank” Castro, etc., etc. Venezuela has only an in- significent navy, but if the coming “chastisers’’ should be unwise enough to put their threats into execution, a vojce will be heard that will forever end this hectoring of a free American Republic. Castro means Venezuela, Venezuela means Latin-America, with the power of Uncle Sam at its back. JOHN F. CAHILL. Honesty First. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. ‘ If Chairman Mack of the National Democratic Com- mittee indorses the primary frauds as recently com- mitted in this State, and has asked Mr. Ball to with- draw his investigation, then it is best for the people of Missouri to know that fact. We have had such 2% full dose of Old Guard ring rule that the mere thought of it gives us an alum aftertaste. Give us honest men first and party men afterwards. We want judges to interpret American laws in a fair and just way and not by technicalities to protect party lines. We, the citizens of America, are the real bosses of this country and of this State and we propose to dic- tate in future and not be dictated to by politicians. We want honest officials and the party that courts our favor must give us honest officials or go out of busi- ness. We are American citizens first and Democrats and Republicans afterwards. NACIREMA., An English Writer's Folly. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. While reading an article recently on the relative in- terests of English and American children, I was sur- prised to find the assertion that the interest of Amer- ican girls in the life and work of men is always far above that of the English girls, accounted for by the fact that the American girls have no great feminine character in public life to inspire to be like, as Queen Victoria does the English girl. If that is true then we have had no great women. STUDENT. The Negro and Justice. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. ‘ In regard to the negro outrages there can be but one just course pursued. Let our laws protect the bond as well as the free—the black as well as the white. The negro, generally speaking, is still in bond- age in his own mind. He still feels his inferiority, and justly. I am Southern in everything the word im- plies, but justice has forced me to see that color should debar no one from what would otherwise be their rights. That great prejudice exists against the negro is undeniable. Yet among men there is not found a more worthy, more devoted, more God-fearing peo- ple than negroes of one class. One of the hardest things I ever did was to call a negro Mrs. It took more than two years’ study of her admirable char- acter before I could bring myself up to the point of so addressing her. (I didn’t know her given name.) I almost choked on “Mrs.’’ when I uttered it, though reason, justice and common courtesy approved. I be- live it will take me three years to get the courage to repeat it. How's that for prejudice? MRS. f MARTIN. The Increased Cost of Living. To the Editor of the Port-Dispatcn, é Bryan will be elected if the managers of the Dem- ocratic campaign take advantage of their opportunity. Political speeches should be simplified and confined to one point—the increased cost of living under Re- publican rule. The dinner pail is so nearly empty that the Republican managers fear that alone will defeat Taft. The point should be driven home constant- ly, tmsistently, persistently, that the coet of living has increased over 30 per cent under Roosevelt and 36 per cent since the inauguration of McKinley. Make a city campaign. Go among the factory work- ers and show them that every trifling Increase of wage their unions have enabled them to obtain has been absorbed by the increase in the cost of living. which is due to Republican protection of trusts. All the Republican spellbinders will endeavor to hood- wink these workers @ith tales of the benefits of the protective tariff to American industry. fell them the truth and show how they are being ronbed, A sim- ple speech on the increased cost of living will gain more Democratic votes than all the torches, brass bands and spread-eagle oratory the Republicans can buy.

BRIDE SOLD BY WEIGHT. From the Pittsburg Chronical-Telegraph. By the decision of the Mayor, brides may be bought by weight at Kolked, Hungary. The local custom is that a bridegroom must pay the bride’s parents a certain sum for the privilege of marrying their daugh- ter. Jan Koetvoes was engaged in a dispute with his financee’s parents as to the amount he should pays them, and the Mayor was called upon to arbitrate. Being an expert in cattle but not in women, the Mayor decided the value of the girl should be estt- mated by weight and thought that 60 cents a pound would be a fair price. After -the girl's weight had been ascertained; Koétvoes handed over the money and was soon married. —ewu—«_«,,

THE FORLORN HOPE. AMES L. CARLISL&, the new chair- J man of the Board of Election Commissioners of St. Louis, stood resolutely at his post. He lifted his right hand solemnly. Then he spake. I want volunteers for service as judges and clerks of election,” he said. “It is as imperative and patriotic a duty as enlistment in the army for the defense of the country!” Loud cheers arose. . “I call for volunteers!’’ he cried. ‘All those who are willing to serve, please step three paces to the front.” Every ward Indian in st.

The attention of Japan and all other truculent Powers is respecfully called to the fact that the First Regiment, N. G. M., and Battery A of St. Louis, have taken the field. They are massed in all the panoply of war at Fort Riley, Kan., and it is to be noted that the first news from the front brings the significant announcement that they have their avpetites with them. They're eating everything in sight that’s eatable. At first glance this hungriness of the St. Louis militia may not seem a menace to the foe, but it must be remembered that an army travels on its stomach, as one of the wreatest commanders of all ages has said. The better filled the stomach, the farther the army can travel and the harder it can fight. The healthy appetites of the First Regiment and Battery A constitute a part of the bulwark of this nation. Be- ware, Japan—or any other jealous Pow- er that dreams of pulling feathers from the tail of the American Eagle! The brave soldier boys of St. Louis are primed to chew up their enemies at the first signal—their doughty jaws are al- ready in preliminary training! — |

It was a love story which, oddly enough, had tremendous influence on America’s future. Francoise was the daughter worthless French noble who with his wife was cast into prison and who later died in Martinique, where he had rambled away his fortune, leaving his family penniless. Francoise grew up in poverty and neglect, yet managed to procure a good education and to become a brilliant talker. When she was 15 she attracted the interest of a Parisian poet, Searron, who old and hideously deformed. _Scarron of- fered either to pay tor her admission to a edonvent or to ‘marry her. She cleverly chose. the lattge course. For ten years she was the head of Scarron’s household, attracting the brightest men and women ot France to her salon and reigning as queen of her deformed hus- band’s small literary world. From her Creole origin she was affectionately nicknamed “The Littie Indian.” Thén Scarron died, and the Govern- ment pension that had supported him was cut off.

He looked on her as his good angel and learned to rely upon her ad- vice in every emergency. She took quick advantage of his odd change of nature and soon had acquired a bound- less influence over him. Then came her reward. When Louis was 50 his wife died.

HILE more than 20,000 persons cheered themselves hoarse, little Johnny Hayes of the Irish-American Athletic Club, who recently captured the Olympic Marathon race in London, gave a half-vifle exhibition run yesterday afternoon at the Eccentric Firemen’s games at Celtic Park. eager to grasp his hand. Hundréds of women were inthe throng and they were as troublesome as the men. They grabbed and mauled him and attempted to tear his bathrobe for souvenirs. When he posed for the photographers it was 10 minutes before the picture could be taken. When the shutter of the camera fina]l- ly snapped it showed only the head of Hayes and the hands and faces of a score of giris fighting each other in an endeavor to embrace him. “Since I entered the London Stadium on the heels of Dorando, the Italian,” Said Hayes after he had torn himself away from the mob, “I have received many Ovations, and while some of the crowds I encountered were much larger than this, none of them ever appealed to me like the greeting I received here today.

The engine was impo from Germany. In practice spins on the river the boat haS averaged over 30 miles per hour up and down stream. Koenig Was Confident Saturday. Koenig was confident that he would win the championship of the river last saturaay by competing in the cham- Dionshin race of the St. Louis Power i30at Association over a 20 mile course in front of Alton, lll The Minnie C No. 2, holder-of the championship, won at Muscatine, Io.. not long ago, the Teaser of Quincy, Ill., and other fast boats were entered. All week Koenig had two men work- ing on his boat tuning it up for the race.. All Friday night he assisted in the wo7k of putting in high-proof gas- oline ahd testing every part of the boat. Saturday morning the Independence was taken out for its final trial. The boat went fine for about two miles at close to 30 miles an hour. Suddenly the clutch started slipping. The power was too much for it. A hurried run was made back to the boathouse and two mechanics worked all day trying to remedy the trouble without success, as while the boat would run all right for a mile or two, the clatch would slip and the eight cylinders would start barking like miniature cannons. Koen.g was, therefore, forced to abandon the race, Minnie C. an Racing Shell, The Minnie C. No. 2 won easily. The owner of the boat was not at Alton to watch his craft’s victory. George Cuth- bert and Dr. J. N. Hoggs of Fort Mad- ison handied her. The Minnie ©. No. 2 is a ¥%-cylinder boat rated at 75-horsepower. She is a mere racing shell, with light cylinders. The boat covered the 2%-mile course, calling for four ee in lh. Im. 18s. The crowd went wild over the great speed shown by the boat, which ran in fine style. only being stopped once by waves from a steamer. Fort Madison men think there is nothing on the river can touch the Min- nie C. No. 2. Even the members of the St. Louis Power Boat Association figure her almost unbeatable by any boat on the river. Koenig has tel phed for a ne» and stronger clotel He declares that he knows that his 2-horsepower en- gine will carry his boat over the water faster than 30 miles an hour, or some- thing will have to break, and when he gets a stronger clutth he thinks that his craft will be perfect. For that rea- son he asks 30 days’ time to prepare for a race. If the contest is arranged it will attract national attention. Koe- nig’s boat as it stands today cost close to $9000, and is one of the highest pow- ered motor boats in the United States. NELLIE ROY MADE THE BEST TIME AT NORTH SIDE TRACK J. J.

Must Hit Better. Unless the Browns improve in batting there seems little chance of them overhauling Detroit. None of the ex- perts here can see the Browns and the corsensus of opinion is that Detroit is not only superior to St. Louis, but that McAleer’s team must have had a rabbit’s foot of superior quality to keep it up where fit now is. The followers of the game cannot real- ize that Ferris, Williams and the rest have made t even with the club’s record confronting them. Not- withstanding this prevalent belief. in Philadelphia, Washington and New York, everyone is hoping the Browns will win. since none of the teams of the cities named geem to have a chance to run first, or even in the first division.

AMERICAN WHON SWEDEN SNUBBED TO. WED PRINCE Russian and Italian of Sarne Title Suitors of Mme. Von Claussen. - HAD ROW WITH GRAVES

She Asked Roosevelt to “‘Fire”’ American Ambassador at Stockholm.

By Leased Wire from the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch, NEW YORK, Aug. 24.—It was learned today from New York friends of Mme. Ida Von Claussen, the beautiful young American who unsuccessfully attempt- ed to get herself presented at the Swedish court in 1907, that she will soon be persona grata at any court in Eu- rope. Mme. Von Claussen is now in Rome, and it is rumored that she will shortly become a princess. She can be either one of two kinds—Russian or Italian. Report has it that Prince Paul Ourous- off of Russia, and Prince Sforza Cae- - garina of Rome are in a close race for her hand. Mme. Von Claussen in Apri! of last year besieged President Roosevelt and the State Department at Washington In an effort to kave Charles H. Graves, American Minister to Sweden, recalled from his post for snubbing her. Mme. Von Claussen is the daughter of a New York merchant, Adolph Claus- gen, and a granddaughter of Mathew contractor who flourished in New York a generation or so ago. She inherited a fair fortune from Byrnes and on coming of age became we'l known as a young woman with original ideas. Prefixed “Von” to Maiden Name. In 1899 she was married to Dr. Wil- Yiam Francis Honan, from whom she obtained a divorce in 1905 in South Da- kota. With her 65-year-old dau seg! she then went to Germany and resumed her maiden name, improved with he prefix “Von.” She said at the time she had discovered that she was of noble Ger- man blood from her cousin, Gehcimra! Yon Bramann, “‘who has ten decora- tions of honor for operating on Kmperor Fritz and other deeds of distinction.” In the summer of 19% Mme. Von Claussen was introduced to King Oscar of Sweden at a lawn fete at Wlesba- den. Her sponsor was an officer of the Swedish navy and Mrs. Von Claussen always insisted that her presentation was at King Oscar’s request. The King gave her a general invita- tion to call if she ever visited Sweden, At least, Mme. Von Claussen has de- clared something more than a hundred times that he did and she insists also that he gave her a signed photograph of himself and informed her that all doors in Sweden would open wide to her on the strength of it. Called to See the King. A year or so later Mme. Von Claus- sen went to Sweden and flashed the photograph on the King’s chamberlain. Hie sent her to Minister Graves, ex- plaining that Americans were invariably presented at court through their own minister, and it would be just as well for her to comply with the routine eti- quette. Mme. Von Claussen promptly descend- ed on Minister Graves and Mrs. Graves, On the score that she had 0°»not brought credentials from America, Mr. Graves professed himself unable to have her presented.

SOCIETY VILE? QUIT, SOCIETY TELLS AUTROH Patterson Is “Trying to Make a Noise,” American-Born Princess Says.

They Say “Big Brother to the Rich” Is Right About Tights.

CHICAGO, Ul, Aug. 2%4.—Joseph Me- dill Patterson, “Big Brother of the Rich,”’ was given jar today by his former society friends. Princess En- galitchoff, formerly Miss Partridge, said: “It is rather a pity Mr. Patterson is upable to see any good in society. But we often find just what we are look- ing for, don’t we? The unkind things the papers say about society people are true of only a very small percentage of society and the same things are true of all people, rich and poor alike. “There is plenty ®f good among the rich, just as there is plenty of bad among the poor. Viciousness is surely not the sole attribute of the wealthy and virtue the sole attribute of the needy, as Mr. Patterson apparently wants us to imagine. “Mr. Patterson has been lucky eneugh to have the luxuries of life throughout his career. It is to be regretted that in his luxurious life he has found only the bad. A man who makes such wholesale criticisms against the rich as dces Mr. Patterson, would. one would think, desire immediately to cease to be in that category. We might, per- haps, be rather more impressed with Mr. Patterson’s burning sincerity if he ceased to be a theoretical Socialist and became a practical Socialist. “Wants to Make a Noise.” “Mr. Patterson finds the wealth he attacks to be quite convenient for his own personal use. I am afraid Mr. Pat- terson wanted to make a bit of noise and: did not see any other way to do except to write this kind of a book.”’ * Mrs. Charles Henrotin thought that Mr. Paterson's strictures on society scarcely applied to the society of fhe West. “What Mr. Patterson says about so- clety may be true of certain parts of lit in the East,’’ said Mrs. Henrotin. “But it has no application to the so- Ciety of the West. Out here people are too busy and have to work too hard to reach the condition described by Mr. Patterson. “In a society where the members have absolutely nothing to do bu amuse themselves conditions mentioned by the author might come about. Patterson was seen on his farm at Libertyville, Ill, He said: “It is safe to assume that in the walks of life in which I have placed my characters others similar to them and I have met them. Patterson Defends Book. “As for Paul Potter, I have known men who. started like him, grew into what he grew into, and underwent the same social and financial experiences. I have also known women who started as did my heroine, felt the same am- bitions, were tempted in the same way and beset by the same hardships.”’ Asked whether the story of a woman lamenting that her income was only $50,009 a year, was true to life, he sald: “I Know, women who regard it as pa- thetic that they are obliged to live on $50,000 a year."’ The chorus girls of “A Stubborn Cin- derelia"’ indorsed Patterson. Grace Lane, one of the prettiest members of the chorus, was positive in voicing tha: opinion, “Certainly if it wasn’t for the men We couldn't wear tights,” she said. “A musical comedy with the chorus at- tired in skirts reaching to their ankles would fall flat. I know of only one ex- ception, ‘Florodora.’ " The other girls applauded this state- ment.

4 Hear the Chorus! “It isn’t the face that men come to. see; though, of course, the prettier the face the better ge. they are,” con- tinued Miss Lane. ; “Why do they fill the cheap bur- lesque houses. They usually have al bunch of homely faces. It’s because} the girls wear tights.” “It's up in the air with a store job,’ he said Harriet Notter, vehemently. “The stage is attractive to me, and I am on it because I like it. As for the men. of course, they would not line up at the box office unless we wore tights. It is really not so bad, though for two or three days after a girl appears, she feels. awkward. Then she gets used to the garb.” “I can't see the store proposition through a telescope,”’ declared Maude Smith, who had paid particular atten. tion to the six-a-week idea set forth in the book. “I mind tights? f° #e didn’t wear them people wouldn’t con to see us. I'd rather stand on the stage | fa in pink tights than wear a long black | Mm dress back of the ribbon counter. Any | 3 old day I do that, watch me. Watch me closely.” >:
