LONDON. June 27. (New Tork World Ca
blegram Special Telegram.) Mrs. Samuel
aUoan 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
res. Is Arnold Morley, a constant visitor
at her pretty house In Mayfalr. Mr. Morley
Is extremely wealthy, has an unassailable
position In the "smart set," belongs to half
a doaen of the best clubs, is 63 years old
but looks much younger. Is a privy coun
cillor, once was postmaster (general and
was chief liberal whip for several years
under Qladstone. 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 and her sister, Lady New
borough, scored a great success with their
J,int ball and cotillion Wednesday night.
Mrs. Cbauncey's house was so blocked to
ward midnight that the staircase was Im
passable. Tha big ballroom was lined with
a kaleldoacoplo array of silks and chiffons
crowned with flashing Jewel. The number
of men present was astonishingly large.
The cotillion was novel In the extreme and
the Amerloan touches made it appeal es
pecially to the fashionable onlookers. The
umbrella figure was the most amusing.
Each dancer carried an umbrella of a
different color. In the next the men
marched in pampas hats and carrying large
sticks, and with their partners performed
a Cakewalk amid a storm of cheering.
. Mrs. Chauncey 's niece, Madeline, for
whom tha 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 tha
marchioness of Dufferin, tha countess of
. Warwick, Mrs. "Willie" James, who Is to
entertain tha king next week; Marchioness
Camden, tha marchioness) of Oranby and
the countess of Coventry.
'" " ' Tha men were among tha moat eligible
of tha bachelors in London.
It la largely due to Lady Savllle that
Mrs. Chauncey has so quickly risen In tha
octal Armament. Wherever the Barillas

ROYALTY SEESJMN DAHOMEY"
Colored Company Performs for King
Great Hit.
(Copyright, 19H3, by Prese Publishing Co.)
LONDON, June 27 (New York World
Cablegram 8reclal Telegram.) "To me,"
said King Edward after the performance
of "In DHhomey" before the royal chil
dren and their aristocratic friends in
Buckingham palace last Tuesday, "the
great attraction of this negro musical
comedy is that the performers play with
such sest. 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,"
said "Bert" Williams, "to appear before
my sovereign, for I am British bom, hail
ing from the Bahamas. When I remember
how he laughed and applauded I felt good.
I can tell you. The king kept on standing
up to see better.
"We are the first musical comedy com
pany that was ever commanded to appear
at Buckingham palace. But I consider the
greatest compliment was that when we
concluded they all sat still waiting for
more.
"At the end of the cake walk the
orchestra struck up the tone again and
the little lords and ladles caught the In
fection and started a cake walk themselves,
the royal children Joining In. They weren't
bad at It, either. The prince of Wales'
eldest daughter, a bright, eonny girl with
golden hair, a princess all over, roust have
practiced It before."
"The stately front, broad terrace, wealth
of foliage and blue haie surprised and
delighted us," said Mrs. Williams. "Any
thing so calm, so beautiful I had never
seen."
"And th best of all," put In Mrs.
Walker, "was the queen looking so sweat."
George Walkers' marvelous teeth
gleamed with added luster as he said: "In
my dreams I h.id pictured appearing be
fore a king, but I never fancied anything
so perfectly beautiful. He was as gra
cious as possible. No wonder he Is popular.
He Is a real, fine gentleman and no mis
takeand the queen, she is the loveliest
woman I ever saw."
"Yes," broke In Mrs. Williams, "we
were a bit awestruck at first, but when we
saw how kind she looked, how she clapped
her hands and laughed with the rest, we
got up courage and worked all wa knew."
The queen. In fact, is the idol of the
negroes. Said "Bert" Williams:
"Only once before have we enjoyed any
thing of a similar kind; that was when we
performed In Newport at a fete given by
Cornelius vanaerbiit, jr., in tne pres
ence of Mr. Roosevelt before ha became
president. But that was not to be com
pared with our present experience, which
all regard as the highest honor that could
possibly be paid us."
"In Dahomey," which already was doing
a great business. Is now having "immense"
bookings. Before. tha Buckingham palace
appearance the boxes and stalls were full
every night, but tha cheaper parts of tha
house did not draw so well. - Now It la
"house full" at every performance.

PARIS. June 17. (New Tork World Ca
blegramSpecial Telegram.) "Retroactive
suicide" Is the explanation given by scien
tists to the strange chance that nearly
killed a young Frenchman named Normand.
Grlef-stiicken over the loss of his wife, he

Ufa He poured the drug In some water
and was about to take It when the door bell

aunt had died and left him her heir. He
renounced his Intention of suicide and made
a Journey to claim his heritage.
After three days he returned to his home
and sad memories revived the desire to die.
Once mora the door bell rang at the decisive
moment and he received from the postman
an Invitation to a banquet. He deferred
for a second tlmo his fatal Intention.
Some days later tha 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. The
new servant had rearranged the bottles,
his hand fell on the corrosive sublimate and
he drank It to quench thirst. He cried for
aid and friends, rushing In, found him roll

(Copyright. 1M, by Press Publishing Co.)
BERLIN. June 27. (New Tork World Ca
blegramSpecial Telegram.) A medical
writer in tha Frankfurter Zeltung gives
some curious particulars about tha white
lines which cross finger nails. These are
signs of disturbance lit the organism at tha
time they were formed. They often form
during serious Illness.
The proportion of normally constituted
persons who have these lines on their
finger nails Is from 10 to 11 per cent, while
40 per cent of criminals hava them. 47 per
cent of the demimonde. 43 per cent of
Idiots and M per cent of lunatics. Sufferer
from melancholia show a large percentage,
but tha largest percentage, 75, Is among
those who are periodically dangerous luna
tics. The writer comes to tha conclusion that
these lines denote soma degeneracy of the
upper nervous system; that they are not
purely physical, but ar connected with
psychical, moral and Intellectual change.

PARIS, June 27. (New York World Cablegram-Special
Telegram.) Will Presi
dent Loubet see the pope when In Rome?
That Is 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 foreign
affairs 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
foreign 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 Qulrlnal 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 la 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
premier). Waldeck-Rousseau, Troulllot,
Valle 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 tha ques
tlon of blshopa.
" '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 tha bosom of the
Roman church, and the Interview will be
terminated."
This speech made the greatest sensation.

fate Is to dwell with the dead Instead of
the living. The harvest begins on A seen
slon Thursday and lasts ten days, a period
known in tha country aa tha "Decade of
the Immortelfc-s."
The pickers hsva to be very careful to
gather the flowera half open In the morn

diately wither. The dried flowers are sold
by the weight In boxea of a hundred
packages each, weighing fifty-five pounds.
Thes boxes sell for from U to $15. accord

BLACKMAIL STHE MOTIVE
Relief Attempted Robbery of Mra.
Keppel Wa to Seen re
Some Letters.
(Copyright IWij, by Press Publishing Co.)
LONDON. June 27.-New York World
Cablegram Spcrlal Telegram.) The society
sensation of the hour Is the unsolved mys
tery surround'ng th attempt at burglary
In Mrs. George Keppel's house. It Is now
believed that the real object of the burglars
was to get possession, for blackmailing
purposes, of letters which It Is alleged that
Mrs. Keppel received every day from a
very exalted personage.
The police believe the plot originated with
notorious titled crook, who. It Is said.
actually was In the room when the other
men were caught by Mrs. Keppel. but was
allowed to escape In order to avoid the big
scandal which would be Inevitable if his
name were disclosed. Strenuous efforts are
being made to stifle the story.
When the two prisoners plesded guilty
the Judge withheld sentence to give them
a chance to tell who planned the crime,
but when they were arraigned sgnln on
Friday a police Inspector said they h' .
made a long statement to him which
so obviously untrue that It would bo
less to communicate It to the court. .' i
This altogether novel proceeding In i
flea the prevailing suspicions. It la " .
said that the Identity of the lmpr i
burglars was not revealed. The j
one Is handsome, tall and well bu'
a flowing blonde mustache and
nee
rs be-
of refinement. The other Is somen
moner and older. But neither la
slonal burglar. '
The story goes that the conspu.
lleved that the missives from the exalted
personage referred to were kept In a re
ceptacle In Mrs. Keppel's bed room and
that the plan was to carry off this minia
ture safe and all Its contents. Although
In their search the burglars ransacked
every drawer and cupboard in the room.
nothing of Importance was taken and the
articles found on the burglars had been
taken without regard to value, but to con
ceal the real object of the robbery.
After the burglary the mother of the
younger man called on Mrs. Keppel, who
refused to see her.
King Edward met Mrs. Keppel at dinner
at the dowager duchess of Manchester s
the night after tha burglary, heard the
whole story from Mrs. Keppel's own Hps
and expressed unbounded admiration for
her courage and coolness. He met her
again at Countess Howe's on Monday, the
day before the burglars were arraigned.
When Mrs. Keppel appeared and related
her story everyone In court was struck as
much by her cleverness, sangfroid and
tact as by her besuty. Her husband ac
companied her to court.
It Is gossiped about In society as a strange
coincidence that It was Mrs. Keppel's dress
that tripped Princess Victoria at the Ascot
ball at Windsor castle. When the princess
was dancing with Prince Francis of Teck
his spur caught in Mrs. Keppel's skirt,
pulling It across the princess feet and
throwing her so violently to the ground
that she fainted and there was great con
sternation. Mrs. Keppel assisted her out
of the room, making the queen's face as
sume an expression very different from the
gracious emlle It usually wears.

working overtime In Paris. 8treet affrays
with the interchange of a hundred shots

the victim's arms, another his legs and
another ties a handkerchief over his mouth.
The policemen this week saved one victim
of two men and a woman. The men
escaped, but the woman was taken to a
police station, where she shouted proudly:
"I am Tltanla, queen of the Apaches of
Sebastro," tearing open her corsage and
showing tattooed on her breast two crossed
daggers supporting a shield bearing the
words "Touch Not Tltanla, Queen of the
Apaches and Knight of tha Golden

clerk or other witness, that Novltzkl tried
to assault his prisoner, who Is young and
good looking, that she snatched a sharp
steel paperknlfe from the desk and In de
fending her honor cut Novltzkl across the
throat. This version Is generally credited
here. Women political prisoners are fre

KIEL. June 27. When Emperor William
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 cruisers. It was christened by
Countess von Walderaee.
Rear Admiral Cotton, the captains 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 cruiser.
Emperor William 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 Tlrpltz, the principal members
of the emperor's household, all the members
of the United States embassy, an 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 Tbnnks 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 h had met the emperor
he understood why his subjects were so
devoted to him. The feeling of the admiral
and his men was that wherever his ma
jesty led the Germuns would follow. The
admiral then proposed the health of the
emperor.
Replying, Emperor William said he hoped
whatever Impressions the admiral and his
officers had received they had been no mora
than they expected. Eight years had
elapsed since the imperial ensign was first
floated from an American war ship. New
York. ' He remembered vividly the agree
able Incidents of that visit and now ha
was to add these to the things that
were not to be forwotten. Tha only thing
waa that the visits were too far apart.
He was convinced that whenever tha Stars
and Stripes and the Royal Standard met
they would together symbolise peace and
civilization.
The emperor then called for three cheers
for the people of the United Statea.
Marina Lose Medal.
At the conclusion of the breakfast th
emperor told Ambassador Tower that ha
wished to give a medal to each of th
three marines who had atood behind hla
chair.
"Would there be any Impropriety, your
excellency, In my doing so 7" asked th
emperor.
"I am sorry to say our regulations do not
permit It," replied Mr. Tower.
Then, said the emperor. "I would like to
give them watches, Just as souvenirs."
"That sir," answered the ambassador,
"Is also Impossible. "They, equally with
myself, are servants of the country, and
could not accept."
"And I cannot even give a pencil?" con
tinued the emperor.
"No, your majesty.',' said Mr. Tower.
'Then," said Emperor William, "Tell
them I have the disposition to do so."
Admiral Cotton, after the emperor left
the ship, told the three marines, in the
preaence of the officer of the ship, what
the emperor had said.
The emperor has presented Kearsarge
with a silver punch bowl and cover, about
sixteen Inches high and more than two
feet wide.
Sailor Lax in Saluting.
BERLIN, June 27. The Kreuz Zeltung
prints a letter from Kiel describing th
American sailors as "young, slender, sinewy
fellows with Intelligent feces, 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 their
own superiors. Their behavior would cause
a Prussian corporal's hair to stand on and."

BERLIN, June 27 (New York World Ca
blegram Special Telegram.) Two recent
cases of less majeste have attracted wide
attention. One was that of two stone
mssons, Hendrlch snd Schmidt accused of
breaking a plaster bust of Emperor Wil
liam I. while half drunk, and were sen
tenced each to a ; ear and a quarter In
prison, a severe sentence for such an of
fence, as It wss not the bust of the reign
ing emperor that was smashed.
The other case was that of a socialist
editor named Radloff, who was sentenced
to on year In prison for criticising the
emperor's method of exercising his preroga
tive of merry, pointing out that Bnellers,
an officer who ran a citizen through tha
body, was pardoned after a short spell In a
fortress, but that a poor little Polish girl
who spat on the emperor's Inage on a
medal was treated with more severity.
