(Copyright, 1903, by Preas publishing Co.)
PARIS. Sept. 19 (New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram.) France has
a Dr. Mary Walker In the person of Madam
Jeanne Lieulafoy. Just like "Dr. Mary,"
she Is attired in trouser and Prince Albert,
a costume she has worn since l)Wl, with the
consent of the French government. Like
her, she wears her hair short. But there
all likeness ceaaes. Madam Dieulafoy has
no hankering after woman's rights, having
all she cares for and avowa she wears
men's clothing purely for convenience.
This gentlemanly Frenchwoman Is a de
voted wife, presides over a charming
home, and is so variously accomplished
that she attracts some of the most dis
tinguished Parisians to her salon. Born In
Toulouse, she came of the Magre family,
which In the sixteenth century manufac
tured armor that rivalled that of . Sara
gossa. Her maternal great-great-grand
mother was an 'English woman. Sh was
graduated from the convent of the As
sumption, in Paris and married Mr.
Dieulafoy a young civil engineer, Just en
tering upon a brilliant career.
The honeymoon had not yet waned when
she set out with her husband for Persia,
where he was charged with an archaeo
logical mission by the French government
They made some most Interesting re
searches at Suslane, with great risk to
their lives. They discovered the splendid
palace of Artaxerxes Maremon, from which
they sent the celebrated Frlexe of the
Archers to the Louvre. It was at this
time that Madame Dielafoy first donned
male attire, for the double reason that it
was much more convenient for her re.
searches, and that her life was Infinitely
safer.
Her "At Susa: A Dairy of Researches,"
was crowned by the French academy. Since
that time she haa written several successful
romances. "Parysatls," In particular, for
which Salnt-Eaons composed an opera. The
latter has Just been given with great suc
cess at th Roman -theater of Orange, In
the south of France, under the personal
supervision of the two authors, Mrs. Dieu
lafoy and SaJnta-Saeus ,. , l
Th story, tias a Persian scene as back
ground, and Us epoch, is 400 yesrs before
Christ.
In winter the Dleulafoys, who ar an
ideal couple, live In Paris, In the rue Char-
din, where they have a handsome dwelling
constructed from their own plans. Last
winter a piece of Calderon. In five acts,
"The Tetrarch of Jerusalem." translated
by M. Dieulafoy, was presented there.
Their summer home Is Pompertlezat, in the
Haute-Garonne.
Beside being an Intrepid traveler and
brilliant writer. Madame Dieulafoy has
made a success as a lecturer. Her per
sonality is charming. She belongs to the
Legion of Honor, while her husband la a

CHAMBERLAIN HAS A DEFINITE POLICY
He Is Bald to Bo the Only Pablle
Maa la Great Britain Who
Really Knows What
Ho Wants.
LONDON, Sept. 19.-The political crisis
Is still the sole topic In the Tnlted King
dom. Premier Balfour Is expected to have
an audience with King Edward at Bal
moral tomorrow. Doubtless he will present
the nominations for the cabinet vacancies.
The exacU nature of these appointments
atill continues a matter of varied surmise.
Regarding the eventual result of the up
heaval, the Spectator's forecast that Mr.
Bnlfour, when he appeals to the country,
will be beaten and succeeded by a Rose
bery cabinet, which will not last long, at
tracts the greatest attention.
The Spectator's view of the situation
Is a severe criticism regardless of party
lines, bestowed on Mr. Balfour's sction In
establishing his views and selling them in
pamphlet form. The premier's sense of
chivalry and honor Is too deeply appre
ciated by all parties to even permit the
suggestion that he purposely adopted the
doubtful practice. By Mr. Balfour's own
admission, he Is a "mere child In such mat
ters," and his experience In business af
fairs now appears to have put him at the
mercy of the publishers of the pamphlet,
who ar coining money over the vital irsue
in national affairs.
Proceeds Go to Charity.
That Mr. Balfour will devote his portion
of the proceeds to some charity Is gen
erally assumed, but It Is regretted that ho
did not mention some such Intention In the
preface of the pamphlet.
The Outlook, which is a warm supporter
of th premier, declares "Mr. Balfour's
indiscretion strikes a rude blow at one's
reverence for the ( traditions of English
public life, when a public servant's po
sition seems to be used for private gain,
no matter whose."
Th Outlook adds that the fact that a
note was sent to the editors with the pam
phlet which only allows -. them to quote
1,000 words textually Is "one of the worst
features In this deplorable business."
The Spectator and other periodicals also
express concern' on the latter point. The
Outlook estimates that the profits on 100.000
copies alone will be over $17,000, of which Mr.
jyalfrur , will receive, a large share. Th
pamphlet promises to reach a sal of 1,000,
OuO '.-oples.
- In the meantime, there are no pamphlets
in print and the copies printed have
reached a premium, many of them selling
for 50 cents, double the price of the Issue.
' arty Managers Displeased.
Mr. Balfour's party managers openly pro
claim grave dissatisfaction. In the first
place, they say they cannot get any more
copies for their impatient constituencies
and they add that they object to paying
for literature which is supposed to be ths
most powerful In keeping the government
In power.
Several of tho conservative agents have
gone so far as to threaten to resign. The
I publishers make no discount to party or
ganlxatlons, even though thousands are or-
dered, and actually dem
demand the money in
advance.
The Associated Press learns from an au
thoritative source that Mr. Balfour expects
Mr. Chamberlain to re-enter the cabinet In
the event that an appeal to the country re
turns Mr. Balfour to power. Both desire,
however, that the elections be postponed
so long as possible in order to give Mr.
Chamberlain the opportunity to Impress his
views on the people. If the government is
returned, or if a weak liberal ministry Is
retained in power only a short time, Mr.
Balfour anticipates that he and Mr. Cham
berlain will reorganise a new ministry.
Chamberlain May Change Mind.
According to an authority thoroughly cog
nizant with Mr. Chamberlain's plans Mr.
Balfour might then find Mr. Chamberlain
unwilling to Join blm.
'It has been Mr. Chamberlain's purpose,"
said the person quoted, "to form a party of
his own and he may take advantage ef the
present opportunity to carry out his inten
tions. His reputation si the only public
man In England with a definite policy,
coupled with his strength of will and abil
ity, may enable him to achieve his ambi
tion. In case of the success at th elec
tions of his advanved program of preferen
tial tariffs he would form his own cabinet
and displace Mr. Balfour as premier."
Mr. Balfour and Lord Lanadowne both
went to Balmoral today. Mr. Brodrlck goes
there Monday.
Replying to an Inquiry as to whether he
anticipated being able to accept the Invita
tion of the Illinois Manufacturers' asso
ciation to visit Chicago as the guest of
the association and deliver an address on
his fiscal proposals, Mr. Chamberlain tele
graphed as follows to the Associated Press
tonight:
I shall not be able to leave England this
year. liumbisklain.
Lord Salisbury telegraphed to London to
night, saying that the report that he In
tended to resign the lord high chancellor
ship was not true.
King Edward Approves Changes.
The Observer this morning says King
Edward, in the course of hla con
ference with Premier Balfour, approved
changes In the cabinet. Mr. Balfour, the
Observer says, will probably make official
announcement of the appointments tomor
row or Tuesday, but this announcement ia
likely to be Incomplete, as the premier will
not be able to perfect the reconstruction of
the 'cabinet until the duke of Devonshire,
the lord president of th council, and Lord
Balfour of Burleigh, secretary for Scotland,
shall have decided what course they will
adopt.

Cresceus, the equine enigma, the wonder
ful trotting stallion, paced by Mike th
Tramp and a White automobile, yesterday
afternoon at the Tri-Clty Amateur Driving
club's matinoe lowered hla former world's
record of 2:U8' for a mile on a half-mile
track and made a new record for the local
track. Hla wonderful feat was performed
In the presence of 6,000 spectators, whose
enthusiasm culminated In one tremendous
uproar of spplause as the little chestnut
sorrel came steaming under the. wire, led
by his running pacer and chased by the
huge gasoline machine, with a new laurel
In his crown.
George Kelchsm, the owner of th cham
pion trotting stallion, as usual, drove his
animal, and exclaimed as he slighted from .
nis mice: r
"I am prouder of him than ever."
Reflecting this pride In a broad smile he
stepped to one side as Cresceus was again
crowned king and passed him over to bis
keeper, who quickly ushered him Into his
stall.
As his part of the proceeds Mr. Ketcham
took away $1,000. '
"This is the fastest half-mile track 1 1
have ever trotted him on," said Ketcham,
"and I will' say that it the wind had not
been against us he would have made the
mile In 2:0TVs easily. At any rate, we have
beaten the world's record at all quarters of .
the mile. The horse was In the very best
shape possible, but I had to hold him on
the three-quarters stretch. My treatment
has been of the best and I have only
the greatest gratitude for my fellow horse
men of Omaha."
Interest Never Flags.
The matinee was a pronounced success
from the time Starter Sapp tapped the
at 2 o'clock until the final heat was run.
No accidents happened to mar ths notable
event and when the singles to runabouts
were called and presented before th granrt
stand for the Judges, the applause was Don

in th second hc.U Roy F. surprised every
body by leading oft on the finish, -Black
Hawk taking second place. This big black
gelding, which was picked as a winner,
finished second in the third heat, with all
chances good for the first place, but for an
accident which happened Just as he rounded
the three:quarters, bound for the wire. In
some manner he cut his quarter and was
withdrawn by his owner, R.-A. Thompson,
so did not show up in the final. This left,
but three horses to fight it out on the
fourth heat, and Aldine came In an easy
winner, followed by Roy F., St sbout 150

George Castle a Winner,
The third and last trotting raco was won
by George Castle, owned by T. Dennlson,

when the final was started he went Into'

staying in to the finish. This rsce showed
the beet time made on th track for the
day outside of Cresceus, the king, being
run In 1: flat. An agreement was msde
before the lust heat of this race was run
that the horse winning the third beat should
be declared the winner of the-race. It did
not require another heat, however, for
George Castle took two out of the three and
tame out with first prlxa, ill until finishing
second.
Dr. J. P. Lord then gave an exhibition
