IX5SDON, AotII ll.-fBpeclsD-LJidY Suf
folk, who wis Daisy loiter of Chicago, be
fore her marriage to lrd Cunnn'e former
aide-de-camp, has made society tup by
her twice administered snub to the queen
of Spain. It appear that the -ratter ha a
psnlon for laci; already she possesses one
of the finest collections In the world. Much
of It belonged at one time to the KmpresB
Kugenlo and to the late Quen Victoria.
Some time ago the queen of Bpaln became
aware that Idy Suffolk owned a auperb
piece- that could bo traced Indisputably aa
having -been owned by Cardinal Richelieu.
6he Immediately et her heart upon It and
aent a .letter to the American peeress ask
ing the latter to aet a rrlce on It. By re
turn poet Ied Suffolk answe-ed that tha
lace waa not for sale. Later Princess
Henry. of Battcnberg, mother of the queen,
called on Lady Suffolk and endeavored to
got her to part with the treasure. Tha
request waa refused, this time emphatically
and with considerable heat.
The Incidents are causing a whole lot of
gossip, and It Is said that Lady Suffolk's
Independence has not done her any good
In royal eyea. It Is pretty well known
that the girl from Chicago doesn't "care
a rap." aa you would say In the United
States, what royalty thinks. She haa never
made the slightest bl4 for royal favor and
Is not apt to begin at this lata day.
The Suffolk collection of lace Is a famous
one and the family, more especially the
rew countess, la , extremely proud of It.
Lady Suffolk had an artlet In lace lately
to Inspect It oil and put It in perfect re
pair, t-ntll the advent of the American
chatelaine It had not for years seen the
light.
Wealthy Waasaa rebalanced.
Lately I have heard an oft-repeated and
pathetic atory of a rich American woman
who la suffering from a delusion that she
la soon to be murdered by her near rela
tives. She Is one of the wealthiest of your
many rich women here and la now In the
handa of a couple of the beat mental spe
cialists In London. Although the latter
have tried to allay the fcara of the woman'
relatives and friends,' it haa now become
tolerably certain that her mind' Is In dan
ger of giving way altogether.. Aa yet, how
ever, she la perfectly norrrfal In every
respect except this assassination delusion.
The advipe of the doctors who have been
called In is to .humor her-rather than to
combat the Idea. .
The lady apends most of her spare time
In Interviewing amateur and professional
detectives, enlarging at great length upon
the efforts of her closest friends and
relatives to do away with her and thus get
her money. She Insists upon her bedroom
being guarded every night, and within the
'ast few days those In attendance upon her
,ave had the greatest difficulty In getting
ic-r to take any food.
A certain rather loud talking American
soman .beta la aerlously considering a
course In voice training. I hear that King
Edward recently refused to meet her at
dinner because of a particularly penetrat
ing and annoying quality of her articula
tion. 'Aa a rule hla majesty does not mind
the loudness" of the' average American;
at any rate "he doeftaat make any Objection"

Lady Ielh, who, you may remember,
waa Mlsa FranceB Helena Forbes of ,Ncw
Tork, haa the distinction of 'being the only
woman whom Queen Alexandra ever copied.
She waa the first to eat the fashion of . the
"all-round crown." which has now been
universally adopted by society women as
being the most becoming Btyle of tiara ever
Introduced. Lady Leigh's waa made in
Parla to her own design and Is said to be
worth S12S.000. It consists of diamond's of

When Queen Alexandra saw it for the first
time she asked Lady Leigh to bring It
with her one afternoon' to Buckingham
palace that ahe might try It on. Having
done so, the queen sent for the Jeweler
who always seta the crown gems and had
some stones mounted In an exact Imitation
of It. This Is now Queen Alexandra's fa
vorite crown and tho one she most fre
quently wears.
The latest fads In rete are blackbirds
and thrushes. They are placed In huge
cages, which are hung high In my lady's
boudoir. The csges are usually of gilt
wire and there are receptacles of flowers
In them, so that the bird finds Itself In a
miniature garden of Its own.
The I,onIon bird dealers are offering
"fancy" prices for these wild singera and
the demand Is far In excess of the supply.
The popularity for three birds Is due t
Princess Patricia of Connaiight, who for
some time past has had tame thrushes and
blackbirds at Bagahot. Her numerous
American' girl friends took the hint and
promptly possessed themselves of pets of
the same kind. Eventually the craze spread

FRENCHMAN HAS NOVEL RUSE

Rarape renaHr of Serloas
Crime.
to
PARIS. April 11. (Special.) - Had his
girl victim died front her wound Instead
of unexpectedly recovering, it Is quite
likely that Paul Boffnrd, a young French
man who recently attempted to kill Mar
guenio Marcel, might now be a free man
Instead of sentenced to long Imprison
ment. So cleverly did the young ecoundrcl
relate hla concocted story of a- suicide
part between the girl and himself that
even the police, believed It. But the ac
count of tho affair subsequently related
by his-victim exposed a most cowardly
attempt at murder.
Boffard planned the. shooting In a cun
ning manner. It was due to the steps he
took before the deed that he waa able to
foil the police so easily. The young girl
Is a dressmaker and had been almost pea
tered to death by the unwelcome attentions
of her assailant. y Finally, losing nil
patience, she one evening sent him per
emptorily about his business, saying that
she wished ' never to see him again.
Whereupon Boffard flew Into a great rage
and accused the girl of having given her
heart elsewhere.
A few evenings ago Mile. Marcel was re
turning from her work, accompanied by
her mother, when she was stopped by
Boffard. He asked If he could have a
few moments conversation with her. Rlie
assented ftnd paused in front of her home,
while her mother continued towards the
door. The latter had gone but a few
steps when she heard the report of u
pistol, and turning around saw her daugh
ter lying on the ground and Boffard stand
ing, over her with a smoking revolver In
hie hand. He had shot the girl through
the head.
A police Inspector, who happened to be
near at hand, ran towards the man,
whereupon he turned the revolver on him
self, and fired a second shot. The bullet
flew wide, however, entirely missing Its
mark. When taken Into custody. Boffard
told A romantic story of an agreement
between' himself and the girl, whereby he
had, at her behest, sworn to shoot her
first and then follow Immediately ln.to
the Great I nknown. He omitted no de
talla that might corroborate his tale, even
telling of frequent trips made by him and
his victim to the cemetery where they
had sworn on the grave of the young
girl's father to commit suicide should her
mother persist In her objection to their
marriage. He produced letters purporting
to have been written by the girl, begging
him to remember his vows, and that aem
evening the chief of police received a letter
from the prisoner, which hsd been mailed
before the shooting, telling him of the in
tended carrying out of the pact.
These plans of Boffard's wero extremely
clever, but he had not prepared against
the possible recovery of the girl. Mar
guerite Marcel waa conveyed to a hospital
after tho shooting, and although it was
first thought she would die without recov
ering consciousness, she eventually came
to and under careful questioning related an
entirely opposite account of the clrcum
stancea of the shooting. When shown the
letters supposed to have been written by
her to Boffard. Bhe Immediately pronounced
them forgeries. Sho said that she had
never been to the cemetery with the man,
nor had sho ever talked the question of
auiclde over with him. In fact, his whole
atory was an impudent lie. She said that
Boffard had ahot her out of jealousy.
When this version of the affair was re
lated to him by the police, Boffard indig
nantly denied ita truth, believing he girl
victim to be dead. When he was told that
sho was very much alive and that ahe had
told tho facts to the authorities, he com
pletely broko down and made a full con
fession. He said that whin ho pointed
the revolver at his uw n hi ud after shoot
ing the girl. It was only a. sham attempt
at BUlcidc, carried out to support his story
of a pro-arranged pact.

QUAINT CHAPEL IN LONDON
Built to Enable Persona to Enter and
Rest Awhile.
NO .MINISTER OR PRIEST THERE
Famoaa Eaatlsa Artist Dedicate
llisr Tear ta It Decoration,
Winning; Fame Thereby
with Fertnae.
LONDON. April 10. (Speclal.)-In tha rery
heart of the city, not far distant from the
marble arch, there stands one of the strang
est temples of worship In the whole world
It . Is called the Chapel of the Ascension
and It contains no pulpit, no altar, no font,
no band of choristers. No service are held
ln,lt and no priest or minister crosses It
threshold except as a visitor. The chapel
Is a place not of Christian routine and
service, but simply where a man or woman
may "rest awhllo and commune with his
own soul amid pictured walls," ss the notice
which hsngs over the door says.
The chapel Is the Idea of Mr. Russell
Qurney. who, during her lifetime, was a
member of one of the best known families
In Iondon. She received her Inspiration
from a small chapel In Florence and con
ceived the dea of building a place of com
munion In the heart of London, set apart
for rest and filled with consecrated art.
But while the purposes of the chapel It
self Is unique more remarkable Btlll are the
religious paintings that cover Its walls from
floor to celling. For fourteen years Fred
eric Shields, the famous English painter
and friend and contemporary of Ruskln,
Dante, Rossettl and Ford Madox Brown,
haa devoted his whole time and thought
to their execution. Although the task Is
not yet complete, there are but few vacant
spaces on the walla of the little building.
Very nearly 200 paintings, Illustrating the
scriptures, have emanated from the fertile
brain and gifted brush of this artist.
Site Difficult to Find.
The chapel was finished in 1894 after
considerable difficulty had been experienced
by Mrs. Gurney In finding a site that
suited her. In that year Mr. Shields be
gan work on his paintings. The little
building has been open for a few weeks
now to the general public. As ono enters
and looks around one may see the whole
atory of the Blblo told by the pictures on
the four walls. The scheme begins over tho
gallery arch with the creation of man,
followed by the union of man and woman.
On the south wall ta pictured "Tha Goodly
Fellowship of the Prophets," beginning
with Enoch, caught up and delivered from
a violent world flowing with rlvera of
blood, ending with Malachi, who looks back
on his predecessors, and points across the
space of the chapul to the north wall to
John the Baptist and his successors, 'the
Glorious Company of the Apostles." Some
are preaching, others praying, prophesying,
confessing sins, beholding the beatlfio vis
Ions, or standing triumphant as martra.
Below the prophets and the apostles are
small subject pictures; above. In Intimate
relation with theae figures, are angels per
forming missions of mercy and Judgment;
while alternating the figures are large
familiar stories of the gospels and of the
familiar strorles of , the gospels and pf the
incidents of the acts of the apostles.
But Is Is to the east wall where eyes are
first directed and are hid by the pictures
which give the keynote to the whole of tha
designs the conceptions of, the crucifixion
and of the ascension. Subject paintings
surround them, and many figures, such a
those of faith, hope, love and of patience
the final virtue.
Mr. Shield began his carecer as'an ap
prentice to a firm of lithographers and
went through a long period of the direst
poverty Finally, one day while "down and
qtit" he wandered Into an exhibition of
paintings In Manchester and decided to be
come an artist. He Immediately went
home and made a water color sketch,
which not only sold for S45 but brought
another commission to the needy youth.
Tath to Fame Smooth.
A few years of this work brought him
an order to Illustrate "The Pilgrim's
Progress." He took the contract at so
low a figure that he soon found that he
was reduced to a btead and water diet.
A little later he executed some designs for
an edition of Vanity Fair, which so pleased
Ruskln that he said to liini:
"I do not know of any artist In England
who could have done these pictures but
yourself.' You may become more cele
brated than any painter of the day."
From this time on the path of the young
artist toward success and fame was a
smooth one. Ho came to London In 1874,
when Ills reproductions of his drawings of
town and rustic children were selling like
hot cakes.
In 1SS9, when Mrs. Russell Gurney was
looking for an artist capable of carrying
out lur Ideas for the decoration of, the
chapel which site was to build, it was to
Mr. Shields that she turned. Five year
later, when the little house of rest and
communion was completed, he set to work
on his fourteen-year-task.

LONDON. April 11. (Special.) There are
two kinds of ghosts good ghosts and bad
hos(s. The bad ghosts are auppoaed to
haunt houses and castle and belfries and
make their appearance at uncertain and
too frequent Intervals. The good ghosts
never unnerved anybody except by their
absence. They make their appearance us
ually once a week, In most cases on Sat
urday aa the work day Is drawing to a
close and the weekly spending money has
reached a low ebb or haa entirely disap
peared. They are the most welcome of all
ghosts and the majority of us would like
tl'.eni lo show their faces every day In
the week, Ipstoarl of only on pay day..
It Is hardly necessary to ssy that the
English sock-ty for the extermination of
ghosts, which has Just entered upon its
work, Is cuiicernrd with the had, and not
the good ghosts.' It offers to lay any
of the former variety of ghosts for a

The scheme Is the lilea of Charles Dove,
formerly a commercial traveler, but at
pi en nt the propr'etor of the "Dew Drop
Inn," otherwise known as "The Ark." a
diminutive resort for refreshments In one
of the poorer districts of Iondn. ' It
seems that this establishment, hardly Tilg
enough for a pood-slred man to turn
around in. is the meeting-place of a club
of English athletes. That Is, the mem
bers of the club called themselves ath
letes but their energies never took them
beyond a peroral and d'scurs'on of the
latest sport'ng news In the morning and
evening papers, and heated arguments on
the relative abilities of the several cricket
atara of the moment. Iove. who used to
sit behind the counter and listen In resig
nation to the endleaa repetition of figures
and facts and opinions, finally hit upon
the bright Idea of converting all this "hot
air" Into physical energy.
Dove had thought a good deal about
ghoats. Hla Interest In them dates from
a night, many years ago, when he was a
commercial traveler. He retired to sleep
one eventual In a cottage In Ramsey and
was awakened In tha middle of the night
by a spectral figure of a young girl, with

hung In luxurious curls about her shapely
shoulders. The figure stood at the foot
of his bed. Slowly he arose so as not to
alarm her and after pinching himself to
see that It waa not all a dream, made a
spring to catch the visitor In his arms.
To his Intense disappointment, the glii
vanished Into space, as his arms closed
around the walBl that was not there.
Next morning when he related his adven

the -Utter told him It must have been tho

previous.
Convinced of Howling,
'."hat was many years ago, yet Dove haa
new forgotten the haunting beauty (the
words are his) of tho young girl who
visited him so strangely during the small
hours of the morning. Many times he has
been back to that cottage and slept in
the same room In the hopes of again see

In vain. Finally he has come to the con
