LONDON, Feb.-1. (New York World Ca
blegram, Speolal Telegram.) Mrs. Hrown
rPottor la reaping thp whirlwind of Lady
Meux's curse. That famous malediction,
' which, as all the fashionable world known,
terminated an intimacy which laid too
wealth and prestige of tho eccentric Eng
lish woman at tho foot of the American
actress, has, according to Ita author, and
she ought to know, begun to accomplish Us
fult design.
Llk Its predecessor, "The Jackdaw of
Rhelras," surely "never" was heard such a
terrific curse." Lady Mouk openly doclared
that her victim never would have any luck
bs long as she lived, and points to her
withdrawal from Ilcorbohtu Tree's com
pany, playing Stephen Phillips' "Ulysses,"'
as direct evidence of tho strength of the
sell.
The deposed "Calypso" was formerly the
most welcome visitor at tho Theobalds, fa
miliarly known as Tipples, Lady Meux's
place In Hertfordshire, where a room was
prepared for her uftor br own design.
Mrs. Totter's taste likewise prescribed tho
laws of Lady Meux's tdwn house, whero tho
meals were to timed that the hostess
might always dine with the guests before
going to the theater.
All this was before the quarrel and the
curio. Now 'tho lnlluenco that was onco
hers to command Is arruyed against her,
and the misfortunes that the malediction
may Include aro not to bo lightly reckoned
with,

Lady Mcux, from whom W. C. Whitney
leased tho horse Volodyovskl, his Dorby
winner, Is a remarkable woman with a
trango career. Twenty-four years ago alio
married Sir Henry Mcux, who waa thu
principal partner In tho great browing firm
of Meux & Co.. the lucomo of which It
about $1,225,000 a year. Sir Honry had nn
affliction which proventcd his going Into
society, and during her wholo married life,
which terminated with his death about flvo
years bbo, his wife was his devoted nuise.
They lived at their splendid country
house, Theobalds Pork, In nlmost compute
elusion. Lady Meux's maiden name as
given In Dubrctt, was Vnlorle Suslo Lang
don, while nurko gives ItasLangton, and
hows her to be a distant cousin of her
husband. Hut thcro lna certain amount
of reticence about her parentage, and the
almost hermctlcal retirement, which
markod her marriage, during which she
went nowhere and wob unknown even to
her nearest neighbors, gives an agreeablo
tinge of mystery to her antecedents.
Few plutocrats havo more residences
than Lady Mcux, and sho keeps them all
but one. They Includo Dauntsoy House,
Chippenham, Wilts, Sheen House, East
Sheen, Surrey, Chateau Dc Siicy, France,
and 41 Park Lane,, London.
Sir Henry kept race horses, and the
stables and their contents have been prac
tically made over to Frank Gardner, on
American financier now settled In London,
Who Is continuing their fortunes on the
turf.

Lady Meux Is a strikingly handsome wo
man, tall and commanding In appearance
and with regular features. She has tho

Well Informed friends say that fjount do
Fltzjames, who for two years had shown
himself a most attentive and dovoted
humble friend, assumed proprietary airs as
soon as the betrothal was announced, dic
tating what Miss Sanderson must and must
not do, whereupon the independent Call
fornlan's eyes were opened and sho chose a
radical breaking qf relations Instead of a
long life of matrlnionlal'confllcts.

his fiancee an Independent fortune to re

Two evening newspapers report that the
kaiser's eldest son spent last week In Paris
visiting monuments and art galleries under
n special friend's care'. He left Bonn In
cognito last week, the excuse being mode
that the prince imperial's absence from tho
class room was on account of a sovero cold
which confined him to his room.
The German ambassador, Prince Radoltn,
la reported to havo related with consid
erable amusement to a few diplomats what
tho young prince told him of his trials
among his democratically disrespectful foj
low Btudents at Bonn.
Tho prince has been subjected to a deal
of guying and onco he was even rather
roughly hustled about after one of those
beer drinking cvonlngs customary among
German scholars. Tho prince Is said to
havo confessed that several times he wrote
to his father asking permission to lecve

light of these tales, telling his eon that
a certain amount of real rubbing against

BERLIN, Feb. l.-(New York World
Cablegram -r- Special Telegram.) Prince
Henry's approaching visit to America Is
looked forward to with the llvollcst In.
tcrcst, Tho following representative state
ments have been given exclusively for this
newspaper by the editors of all the Im
portant newspapers In Berlin:
Dr. Wllhelm Lauser, editor-in-chief of
the Nord Ddutscher Allegomtlno Zeltuag,
an official organ of the Imperial govern
ment, writes: "I believe that every single
German sincerely wishes and confidently
hope that Prince Henry's Journey to the
United States And the reception Awaiting
him there will vastly contribute toward
the confirming and drawing closor tho
cordial relations which fortunately already
exist between the two great kindred na-.
Hons."
Dr. S. O. Kohner, edltor-ln-chlcf of the
Nutlotm! Zeltung, the organ of the national
liberty party In tho Reichstag, writes:
"Thero exist neither ancient hostilities nor
unforgottcn hatred to divide the two peoples,
Tho object of Prince Henry's visit Is to
foster tho idea that good will and frlondly
feeling should bo preserved between two
natlono which havo so many dealings with
each other. Prince Henry Is the Interpreter
of German friendship for Amorlca. There
Is no doubt that tho moro Intimate ac
quaintance which will be formed between
him and the leaders of the American nation
will oxcrt n beneficent Influence on na
tional relations,
i) Seed for Trent)- of Alliance.
"There Is no need for a treaty of nl
llcnce betweon Germany and tho American
union. The prince's visit announces that
wo wish to retain the good relationship
with the union In the future, and tho
reception by people and government and
public opinion appearing for him on the
American ground will be a brilliant testi
mony to tho same feelings and hopes on
the party pf Americans."
Dr. Bachmann, editor-ln-chlef of the
Vesslsche Zeltuqg, the organ of tho radical
party, says; "I earnestly hope tho prince's
visit will tend to cement the relations be
tween tho two countries. This Is the wish
of all true Germans who love their coun
try, and wo look with greatest sympathy
on the approaching visit, I believe it will
produce lasting good." ,
Dr. Kronsbeln, editor of the 'Berlin
Post, tho organ of the Imperial conserva
tives, a semi-official government organ,
declares: "The warmest sympathies of the
German nation accompany tho prince on
his visit to America on tho way to greet
the great American nation In the namo
of his Imperial brother. Our memory goes
back to two heroes, George Washington
nnd Frederick the Great. These men In
their day Improssad their respective
hemispheres. Ho long as successors of
Frederick wield the scepter with wisdom,
nnd so long as the virtue and might of
the father of the union rule the wide
lands of North America, so long will
German-Americans know only one rivalry,
the rivalry of civilization, with Its Im
measurable treasures. It Is not God's wish
that people should avoid one another.. Tho
sea Is the medium which separates yet
unites us to all lands."
Solldlfrlnsc Goad Relations,
'Dr. W. Strelt, special editor of the
Boersen Courier, Germany's leading finan
cial organ, says: "The extraordinary
warmth and animation with which the
people of the United States are evidently
prepared to receive the prince cap- cer
tainly only contribute further toward
olldlfylng the good relations between the
American and Qorman nations, which la
guaranteed by so many mutual Intellectual
Interests,"
Dr. Gradnauer, a member of tho Reich
stag and editor pf Vorwaerla, the organ
of the social democrats, observes: "The
Germans are extremely desirous that tho
beet relations with the United States
should be striven for, as being In the In
terest of both nations. Dp not, however,
build too much on the Journey of the
prince. Regard It as merely ap act of
politeness on the part of the kaiser, such
as he has shown to seytral pther natlcns.
Experience proves that such acta of polite
ness, though duly appreciated at the
time, are practically devoid of bearing on
the relation between the proples qf Ger
many and the other country concorned.
Other methods than thlj could be found to
foster good relations between Germany
and America."
America Compels Respect,
Dr. Theodore Barth. leader of the chief
radical party In the Reichstag, notes: "It
is gratifying to see hoy much esteem for
Germany exists among the people of tho
United State. This Is pf tho utmost Im
portance for Germany, Tberefpre, look
rorwsrq wup pieasuro 19 an occasion. whch
will bring together more closely tho two
greet countries. We not only esteem the
American a a grai nation wun astonish
ing abilities, but are forced to, believe that
the civilizing' Influences In the United
States Justly compel the attention and th
respect of tfee enjlrp worq Kverythlpg
in ni iiuijtf iur tia i;u!uuiiiu ui our incnd-
shlp. The visit of Prince Henry wilt bo a
welcome occasion for our.govcrnmcnt to do
everything It can to , cherish this friend
ship ip every pirectipn.."
The prevention of conaumntlon Is en.
tlrely a question of commencing the proper
treatment in time. Nothing Is so well

WARMEST BIUT EVER SEEN IN OMAHA I

mit Opponent' Superior
StreiiKtu.
It took Farmer Burns of Big Rock, la.,
Just forty-one minutes and a half to wrest
tle Joe Carroll of Spokane, Wash., out of
500 at tho Trocadero last night. In the
fiercest bout ever seen In Omaha the
Farmer secured two falls In that longtb
of time.
Both men appeared to be In tho finest of
condition and each was strong. Burns won
from sheer cleverness. It took him twenty-nine
minutes and a half to got the
first fall, which finally came as a result
of a three-quarter nelson hold which Carroll
bad broken time and again, bis shoulder
becoming weakened at last by the constant
strain, when ho succumbed.
After flye minutes the mon went at It
again, nnd tho second struggle was oven
fiercer. There was no parrying nor long
range work. Carroll went in willingly
all the time nnd the Farmer wbh roady
for him. Tho mop alternated behind each
other, each escaping cleverly from vicious
holds time and again In such rapid succes
sion that only thoso familiar with wrest
ling could follow tlje Ins and outs of their
flying bpdos. Finally Burns secured a full
Nelson, which Carroll bridged and broke
clevorly, when Burns turned like a flash
and secured a hammerlock and toe hold,
to which Joo gave )n after a terrlbje strug
gle. '
Ai preliminary, Oscar Naat apd Ed Mor
gan ot Omtha went tw fast licnitii for
falls, Morgan securing th first ty a full
Nelson In twelve minutes and Nst (sklug
the second In efght minutes with a double
Nelson. Naat then challenged Clarence
English ond any otl)fF 130-pound man.
Engljsh accepted at onco am Eddlo Rob

The liability to disease is greatly
lefflened when the blopd is in good con
dition, and the circulation healthy and
vigorous. For then all refuse matter
is promptly carried out of the system ;
otherwise it would rapidly accumulate
fermentation would take place, the
blood become polluted and the consti
tution so weakened that a simple
malady might result seriously,
A healthy, active circulation means
good digestion and strong, healthy
uerves. "
As a blood purifier and tonic S. S. S.
has jio criual. It is the safest and best
remedy1 for old people and chijdren
because it contains no minerals, but is
made exclusively of roots and herbs.
