Deacon May Become the Wife
of the Duke of
Norfolk.
(Copyright, 19(3, by Press Publishing Co.)
LONDON, Aug.' l.-(New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram.) The Lon
don season, Just closed, was the worst on
record from every point of view. The king
Is greatly blamed for contributing to this
breakdown by his few and meager enter
tainments, lie gave only one state ball
and grossly affronted many of the leading
aristocrats by leaving them out. Neither
the duke of Rutland, who once was a
cublnet minister, nor Lord Brassy, for
merly a colonial governor, nor many other
titled personages with almost prescriptive
right to cards were Invited. Consequently
many of the peers are furious, bitterly
complaining that they have been set aside
to make room for a number of American
who have no claims to be present. So the
king's courts are generally jQtedjnetirLAnil
tedious. Then he has not given a single
garden party. It Is said that he cannot
afford to entertain on the present civil
lint, as his annual allowance of 12,350,000 ij
called, and Is making out a casu for an
Increase.
There are a variety of theories to ac
count for the disastrous season. . Some
people think it is being transformed and
again will be the same as It was before
motoring and restaurant dining became
popular. Other social observers say the
cycle of the lean years has begun and that
people have little money to spend. But
the weather has had much if not most to
do with the season's failure. Since then
the weather has been broken and unsatis
factory. Goodwood week, the final summer
meeting place of high life, saw a deluge of
pitiless rain.
"A million and a half sterling (16,753,000)
would not cover the Ions sustained by the
West End drapery houses In consequence
of the bad weather," said the manager of

spondent. Tradesmen Complaining- Bitterly,
The cup of the London tradesman, who
lives on the luxuries of the rich, la over
flowing. The queen's death ruined the
season of 1901, the postponing of the coro
rmtlon destroyed .that of 1902, and, what
ever the cause, the culmination, the
catastrophe has come In 1903. Though en
tertaining Is stopped, many fashionable
people are sJll ralnbound here. The
weather is so cold, wet and generally dis
agreeable that many have not the heart to
face the dullness of the country nor the
chances of discomfort on the continent.
There still are a number of Americans left.
Ambassador and Mrs. Choate are likely
to stay on at Carlton House Terrace all
through the autumn, with the exception of
making an occasional visit to the country.

soon for a stay of some weeks at Carlsbad.

August.
Senator Lodge has been staying some
days at the Thomas hotel and has been en
tertained by American admirers.
The gossip about Murlob White being be
trothed to Austen Chamberlain was stimu

Gladys Deacon had been the guest of the
duk of Norfolk and his sister. Lady Mary

extrntled to the lovely American girl has
been a subject of much comment, as the

and has no liking for the new and rich who,
year ' after year, get firmer footing In
London society.
Chance for Coronet.
Since the death of the duchess, sixteen
years ego, the duke has lived almost the
life of a monk, except when official duties
at oourt compelled him to appear In public.
Moreover, the duke Is not a lover of young
people and seldom Is seen speaking to the
young girls of society. That Miss Deacon
haa been down more than once to Arundel
by the duke's special Invitation haa of
course given rise to rumor, and It Is sug
gested that Mlaa Deacon, being a Roman
Catholic, and the duke a Catholic leader,
being anxious fur a direct heir to his duke
dom, the bright American girl might have
a chance one day of wearing a coronet with
strawberry leaves. The duke Is a great
scholar. Mlsa Deacon is an exceptionally

FINDS PLEASURE IN OLD AGE
Dowager Duchess of Abercorn at 01
Is Happy with Descendants
Aronnd Her.
(Copyright. WO, by Treos Publishing Co.)
LONDON. Aug. 1 (New York World Ca
blegramSpecial Telegram. ) With lfiO de
scendants gnthered about her In the com
paratively short space of her ninety-one
years, the dowager duchess of Abercorri
la one of the happiest as well as one of
the most remnrkablo peeresses that the
British empire can boast. A background
of famous women add their own to her dis
tinction. She Is a granddaughter of the
celebrated Jane Maxwell, duchess of Gor
don, and a niece of the duchess of Rich
mond, who gave the notable ball at Brus
sels on the eve of the battle of Waterloo.
A daughter of the sixth duke of Bedford,
she married James, the first duke of Aber
corn. In 132, and among the many notable
events that haa marked the seventy-one
years since then the duchess Includes two
periods as the first lady of Ireland during
her husband's Incumbency as lord lieu
tenant. They celebrated fifty-three anni
versaries of their wedding before the duke's
death left her alone.
At the garden party which marked the re
cent birthday of this marvelous old woman,
who still retains her faculties unimpaired,
the baby daughter of Hon. Charles Lamb
ton (the duchess' great-granddaughter)
was the youngest. Of her seven sons and
seven daughters the eldest son, the present
duke. Is neartng his sixty-flfth year, while
the eldest daughter Is several years his
senior.
On the birth of this daughter, the first
child, the happy father asked the then
marchioness what gift she would choose.
She asked for a locket with a picture of the
baby. This precedent was followed at the
birth of each succeeding child, and those
precious lockets, mounted In amethyst and
diamonds and strung on a gold chain are
constantly worn by the dowager duchess.
As a young girl Lady Louisa Russell
was a beauty closely resembling the lovely
"Lady Gordon, her ancestor. When at 20
her marriage took place, she and her
youthful husband, then Just 21, were called
the handsomest marquis and marchioness
ever seen.
Like all true grandmothers, the dowager
duchess Is the good fairy of all the clan
that call her "Granny". She makes It a
point to be present at all the marriages.
When Lady Beatrix Wilkinson, daughter
of Lord and Lady Pembroke, was married,
she presented her favorite gift, a bracelet
with two words In diamonds "from Gran
nie", now her proudest title. Her love for
"old splendid" as her husband was affec
tionately known, has passed Into a proverb
In English homes. In London the distin
guished couple resided In Chesterfield House,
where their entertainments, balls, dinners
and croquet parties were among the "smart
est" affairs of the 'Pfs. Her Interest In
social events has never died. While the
guest of her daughter, Lady Blandford, In
Park street, Grogvenor square, the aged
duchess accepts Invitations and takes the
keenest relish In meeting the distinguished
people of the day.
The little girl who danced at a ball given
by George IV. and has lived through the
brilliant reign of Victoria, Is the loyal
subject of King Edward and deeply con
cerned In events of his rule.
CHORUS GIRLS MAKE A HIT
French Newspaper Man Thinks Those
of America Are glmply
Entrancing;.
(Copyright, 1903, by Press Publishing Co.)
PARIS. Aug. 1 (New York World Cable
gramSpecial Telegram.) "The dance of
the American chorus girl Is the most origi
nal and delicious creation in all America,"
Is the verdict of Jules Huret, the French
newspaper writer, who is studying the
manners and customs of America for the
benefit of the French public. He thinks
eld Europe would be likely to be distanced
If the American chorus girls should Invade
Its shores. He defines the danoe of the
chorus girls as the old French "can-can"
step, embellished with the waltz step and
the Cakewalk. The Joy and gladness.the
American chorus girls put into the dance
gives the languid dancers from grand
opera "a black eye."
Mr. Huret finds the American play a
ad mixture. "The type," he says, "Is a
sort of vague operetta, composed of half a
dozen intrigues between fiances, who
quarrel, and who end by marrying, cele
brating the occasion by dancing a Jig. The
actors in the American theaters know how
to dance a Jig and accompany It with bad
singing. The women can't sing much and
the men not at all. There is neither taste,
proportion nor order In the American
drama. The novices of France would , suc
ceed better."
The variety shows he deems more Inter
esting and the negro in these shows he re
gards especially amusing for his appear
ance and singing. Huret, however, objects
to his eternal smile and expanse of white
teeth. Mr. Huret specially admires among
American actors In the legitimate Richard
Mansfield and Julia Marlowe.
However, even the fascination of the
chorus girl hps In no wise reconcile the
French correspondent to the country as
whole. The hurry of the Americans In
eating, talking, sleeping and breaking
records Is too much for him. He longs for
Paris and rest

LONDON, Aug. l.-(New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram.) Viceroy
Curzon's possession of the maharajah of
Benares' historic suite of white Ivory
furniture prompted a question In the HOuse
of Commons this week.
Mrs. Smeaton, whose husband, Donald
Smeaton, occupies the Important official
position under Lord Curzon of finance com
missioner for Burmah, tells one story In a
letter to the press.
The official explanation offered In the
House of Commons waa that on seeing
this suite ef furniture lying in a very
dilapidated condition, and hearing that the
maharajah took no Interest In It, Lord
Curxon offered to buy It. That thereupon
the maharajah sent It to him as a present
and Lord Curzon In return gave the
maharajah a sporting gun worth $150, the
furniture being valued at about 1500.
Mrs. Smeaton says the maharajah's min
ister told her that Lord Curzon signified a
desire to possess the suite, which expres
sion to a native gentleman was equivalent
to a command to hand It over, which the
maharajah accordingly did, receiving In
exchange a rifle that cost $150, she says.
The suite now is practically priceless and
cost originally (5.000. Mrs. Smeaton adds
that the maharajah was most reluctant to
part with It.
It may be added that it Is well known
that most Indian viceroys and their wives
have been accustomed to levy tribute of
valuables on native princes, as any Jewel
or article they admire Is always sent to
them. In Curzon's case it Is unfortunate
that this transaction has been exposed.

against Emperor William's civilities to

PARIS, Aug. 1 -(New York World Cable
gram Special Telegram.) Artist Whistler a
death prompts a writer In the Gaulols to
say:
"There la no American school of painting.
Each artist Is Influenced by one school or
another. Mr. Whistler alone had a very
clear-cut personality which owed nothing
to anybody except his principles to the
French school.
"Let us tako care; It is well to form for
eign artists, but the metropolis of arts
ought always to remain superior to them.
"There Is not, as yet, an American school
of painting, but there are already many
American painters, and great ones, who
will In time form a school.
"Mr. Sargent Is the most celebrated of
American painters. Dannat likewise Is a
great artist, but I find nothing American In
his art. He takes his vigor from Rlbert
and his color from Soya, and might. as well
have been born In Seville or Valence as
New York. The marines bf Mr. Harrison
were remarkably true, and something in
the talent of Mr. Marcus Simmons reminds
me of Turner.
"More than thirty American painters ex
hibit 'Hors Concours' at the salon, and sev
eral have been decorated with the Legion
of Honor. Whistler had the cross of officer
of the legion."
Count Robert de Montesqulon recounted
to the novelist, Edmond de Ooncourt, his
Impressions of Whistler, who painted his
portrait In 1891. At the first sitting Whistler
sketched roughly for two hours with fever
ish haste. Afterward the sittings were
numerous (there were seventeen) and pro
longed. Whistler would choose a brush, throw It
down and take up another. In. three hours
there would be fifty touches, but so sure
and accurate that each one took away a
veil from the obscurity of tha sketch. The
count recalls these sittings with a sort of
anguish. He had the Impression that
Whistler, Judging from the Intensity of his
attention, was taking his vitality from him,
absorbing some of his Individuality. The
count had to take a particular kind of coca
wine as a tonic after each sitting.
It is related that Whistler had a great
penchant for white hats, kept all those he
had ever worn, and had a large collection.

ST. PAUL, Minn., Aug. l.-Judge Loch-
ren today, in the United States circuit
court, handed down his decision in the
case of the State of Minnesota against
the Northern Securities Company, the
Great Northern Railway Company, the
Northern Paclflo Railway Company and
James J. Hill, as President of the Northern
Securities Company, In which he sustained
the contentions of the defendants and dis
missed the bill of complaint of the state.
He finds that the Northern Securities
company has not violated the state laws
forbidding the consolidation of parallel and
competing lines of railway through Its
ownership of the stock of the Great North
ern and Northern Pacific railways. He
refuses the Injunctions asked by the state
of Minnesota to restrain the Securities
company from voting the stock of the two
railroad companies or either of them.
This decision affects the results of the
federal government's victory in the circuit
court in no way whatever, Tne reaerai
suit involved the same defendants and
the same general state of facts, but was
based on a totally different contention of
law.
Federal Suit Kot Similar.
The federal suit in which the Securities
company was beaten was prosecution for
violation of the Sherman anti-trust law
passed by the federal congress.
The state suit in which the Securities
company wins was based on an allegation
that the defendants violated acta or. we
Minnesota legislature forbidding the con
solidation of parallel and competing lines
of railway.
The hearing of the state suit was begun
Friday. June 6. before Judge Lochren In
tha federal circuit court. It followed the
submission of much testimony by both
sides for many months In which Frederick
G. Ine-ersoll of this city acted as referee,

After reciting the act passed by the
legislature of 1874 forbidding the con
solidation of parallel lines of railroads,
the act of 1888 permitting one railroad
company to consolidate Its stock and
franchise with the stock of any other rail
road which might be connected and operated
together to constitute a continuous main
line with or without branches; and calling
attention to the fact that the same statute
reiterated the prohibition ogalnst con
solidating parallel lines. Judge Lochren
calls attention to the passage of the anti
trust law passed by the state legislature In
1899 forbidding combinations In restraint
of trade or commerce between the state
of Minnesota and other states and Its
penalties, and then gives a complete history
of the merger proceedings.

CALAMITY JANE DIES IN TERRY
Koted Western diameter. Who First
Reached Black Hills In '7l,
Succumbs to a Spree,
TERRY. S. D., Aug. l.-(Speclal Tele
gramsCalamity Jane, one of tha best
known characters In the west, died this
afternoon In Terry after a short Illness,
the result of a protracted spree.
Jane came to the Black Hills In 1876 as
k part of a bull outfit, dresned in men's
clothing, and during the trip doing a
man's work. Before coming to the Black
Hills she had gained fame on the plains,
being a well known character about army
posts on the frontier, and taking part In
one or two campaigns against the hoBtlle
Indians. During her life In Deadwood and
the Black Hills she maintained her repu
tation for recklessness, and at one time
was a spy for the road agents operating
upon the stage lines between the hills and
the railroad. During her later years she
met with many reverses and at last sank
to the lowest levels of the Boclal strata.
She was a kind hearted woman and during
an epidemic of fever in Deadwood In the
early days, rendered splendid services as
a nurse. She had been married several
times, her latest husband, Burk, leaving
Deadwood under a cloud.
When she died she was destitute, .but
during hor lastlllness waa cared for by
some of the old timers of Terry, who had
known her In the early days. Her lemalns
were taken to Deadwood "this evening,
where they were given In charge of a num
ber of old timers, who have made arrange
ments for her funeral. She will be burled
Monday afternoon, and will he laid beside
Wild Bill, who Is burled in Mount Moriah
cemetery In Deadwood.

ROME. Aug. 1. The first day of the
conclave has ended and no pope has been
elected. Both this morning and ihls after
noon all the members of tho snered college
except CardlnnlM Herrero, Bsplnosa, Crc
tonl, Lsngenicux nnd Coulllo, who were
confined to their cells by Illness, entered
tho Slatlne chapel, where, after the column
ritual appointed for the occasion, they
dropped their ballots In the chalice. Thut
these gave to no candidate the necessary
forty-two votes was mnde known to Home
and to the world by the smoke of the burn
ing ballots which issued from the Slstine
clin pel.
Tomorrow the cardinals will veto again,
both In the morning und afternoon, but
what chanco there may be of their arriving
at a decision before Monday none can tell.
First Itallot 1 ntmportant.
It Is reported this evening that tho Rnm
polla party wns In the ascendant, but tills
cannot be taken ns any indication of the
final result, as the vote for Pope Io's
secretary of state may be split up or given
In Its entirety to some other cardinal. Ap
parently reliable Information, which, how
ever. It is Impossible to verify, gives tlio
following result on the first ballot:
Hampolla, 20.
Heratino Vannutelli, 12.
Gottl. 7.
OreRlirt, 6.
1)1 1'letro, 4.
t'iinecolatro, 4.
Agllurdl, .
The remainder being scattered.
Humor generally assigns Monday ne the
most llltely day on which an election will
be made.
No one here seriously expected the car
dinals to select a pontiff on the first bal
lot, hence this morning few were present
In the piazza of St. Peter's, though In the
Immediate neighborhood 1.000 tmops and
gendarmes stood Idly In the shade of the
colonndes.
In the afternoon the sun blazed down
and St. Peter's at 4 wns just as deserted
as on the day Leo died. Boon after, hew
evef, crowds began to gather. First came
the priests and monks of all denominations
In their queer colored cassocks, and women
from the poorer parts of the city, carrying
children with them. By B thousands had
gathered at the steps of the basilica and
along the left side of St. Peter's rquare,
from which points only was the Sistino
chapel visible.
Every eye was turned toward the long,
narrow tin tube, with a conical top, whlchi
rises crookedly from one end of the chapel.
It might well be an Improvised nmoko out
let for a hovel, instead of for the world
watched beacon which alone can give the
sign awaited by so many millions. As
evening drew near the crowd Increased,
Roman princes and princesses driving up
ar.d watching from their carriages through
opera glasses the tin smokestack which
glistened in the sun.
Prince Orslnl, the head of the Homnn
nobility, who . shares only with Prlnco
Colpnna the hereditary right to stand next
to the papal throne, sat on the steps of
St. Peters beside an old beggar woman.
Like her he watched Intently for the smoko
signal, but no smoke came.
Priests Ignore Church Call.
The bells of the basilica rang out the
call to vespers, but no one went In. The
priests, pacing the steps of St. Peter's,
prayer books In hand, muttered the evening
office with an ever watchful eye on the
Slstine chapel. The suspense became In
tense; even the street urchins who luul
come In large numbers to gather the dis
carded ends of cigarettes thrown away by
tho nervous crowd, stopped their work and
gazed toward the chapel.
Several false alarms of "ecco la efumatu"
(there is the smoke) caused a thrill of ex
citement. Then came a rumor that a pope
had been elected nnd many persons rushed
to the basilica in order to get good seats
when the announcement was made. The
Impression that a choice had teen reached
was heightened by the appearance on tho
walls of the Vatican of a few officials In
full uniform as for a great ceremony. Whon
0 boomed out from the big clock of 8t.
Peter's there was a sea of upturned faces
focused. In Intense anticipation, on the
Slstine chapel's crooked smokestack.
Three minutes later came another cry
This tlmo It was true. From the conical
top 3 the stack curled out a tiny streak
of smoke, so light, so faint, that it win
scarcely dlstingulahable even against the
deep blue of the cloudless Italian sky
From tho crowd came a sigh of relief'
Still watching with craned r.ecks they siw
the smoke thicken and die down and In
two minutes all trace of today's futllo
voting had vanished into air.
Slowly and with much speculation as to
what had occurred within the conclnvo
and the likelihood of sn election tomorrow
tne crowds dispersed. The historic, method
of giving the world the only information
it Is supposed to get regarding the election
of a pope had served Its purpose with dra
matic thoroughness.
During the afternoon workmen were bvsy
In St. Peter's preparing the great window
facing the Interior of the banlllca, from
which the new pope, immediately sfter h's
election, will give his first benediction to
the Catholic world. A number of the diplo
mats accredited to the holy see have btcn
at the Vatican during the day, stopping at
the wicket gate, but not having any com
munlcatlon with those within the conclave.
The most Interesting period at the wick t
Is when communication with those secluded
within the precincts of the conclave are
received after being examined by the mar
shal and the gowrnor of the conclave.
The latest reports are to the effect that th
condition of the cardinals who are 111 h
somewhat Improved. The rule, of thj
conclave allow a cardinal who I. suffering
from illness to leave and even to return If
he so desires. ,
Cardinals Hecelve Communion.
