LONDON. April 18. 8pclal.)-There has
oeen a flutter of excitement in Mayfalr
during the last week because of a persis
tent rumor that Mra. Ogden Ooelet would
tske Devonshire House In Piccadilly, the
town house of tha duke of Devonshire,
during tha coming- aeason. As a matter of
fact, tha new duka and hla wlfa would be
very glad to let it, aa they will not .enter
tain very much for many months to coma
and can have no poaalbla uaa for tha great
houae. Moreover, the rent to be derived
would come In very handy to keep the new
peer In pocket money, for despite tha fact
that ha succeeded to' on of the largest
estates In England, the enormous death
duties ha will be called upon to pay In tha
very near future will ba a aevera drain
even on hla well-lined purse. Also ha will
have to hand to tha dowager duchess a
very targe sum. I hear that he la going to
close indefinitely Chatsworth. his beautiful
place In Derbyshire. Bolton Abbey, and hla
aeat at Eastbourne. - But even then ba will
not want for a considerable number of
residences.
Mrs. Ooelet I Popmlar.
Society would welcome Mrs. Ooelet aa a
London hoatesa with wide-open arms. We
all remember with pleasure her entertain
ments when aha was here last aummer.
Clarldge's was the scene of most of those
affairs. There la no doubt that with a
house of her own aha would blossom out aa
on of the largest and most popular hos
tesses of tha season. We ahould all Ilk
her to put a little "ginger" Into her daugh
ter, the ducheaa of Roxburgh, who has
been a great disappointment to those of us
who expected her to make a big splurge
when she took Stratford House, the town
residence of Lord Colebrook, about a year
ago. Everybody who has met th mother
of the ducheaa says that when It comes to
spending money freely to give other people
a good time which is supposed to be th
chief function of rich American women
here she la worth half a doscn of her
daughter.
I don't know what English society Is
going to do this year unless you Americans
come to our rescue. The old story of "no
money" Is heard on all sides and the big
English hostesses of past years are going to
be very little in evidence. This Is said to
be duo to the political unrest which invar
iably acts as a depressant on the social
world, but no less an authority than King
Edward himself haa put It down to down
right meannesa on the part of the native wo
men. Not very long ago hla majesty lec
tured very severely two of the leadera of
English society and ended up by telling
them 'that "It was their duty to make
things hum socially." Then he added:
"Were it not for American women wo
ahould have practically no London season
a disgraceful state of affairs In a city
which la as rich aa ours."
Lord t'nrron to Corn Across.
Susceptible girls in the United States had
better watch out, for I hear that In tha
very near future you are to have a visit
from Lord Curson. The distinguished ex
viceroy of India appears to b wrapped up
In th family of' his late wife, and never
seems content unless la baa the compan
ahlp pf Lady Suffolk or Mra. Colin-Campbell,
hla, twe American sisters-in-law. He
la also devoted to Mr. Letter and it la to
pay her a visit that he la shortly to cross
the pond with his three little daughters
and his two sisters-in-law. Mrs. Letter. Is
aald to reciprocate the fondness of her
aon-ln-law and, I understand, ia determined
that he shall remain a widower Bo the girl
who contemplates falling In love with the
handsome p-er had better not communi
cate her plans to the' widow of the late
Chicago millionaire.
Lady Suffolk ia lird Curson's chief ad
viser in all the changes that are being male
at Hack wood park, the magnificent aeat
he recently purchased In Hampshire. He
has spared neither money nor trouble and
haa already expended something like 1300,
000 In Improvements.
The original name of this place was
Hawking park, which It owed to the fact
that It was a famous place for that sport
In feudal daya. Lady Suffolk Is most anx
ious that her brother-in-law should re
vive It. Tou will probably remehiber that
the duchess of Marlborough, another Ameri
can woman, waa also very keen upon re
Introducing hawking when she first arrived
at Blenheim palace. One of the moat ef
fective picture ever made of her ahow
her In the woods of Blenheim with the
hawks about her.
Th Qaeea'e Sonvealr.
Queen Alexandra and her sister, th em
press dowager of Russia, who were the
first of the crowned heads of Europe to re
ceive th magnificent cataloguea which J.
plefpnnt Morgan has had prepared of hla
collection of miniatures, books and bric-e
brae at hla residence at Prince's Gat. Lon
don, are dVaghled' with them. They were
presented on the occasion of the visit of
the two royal aisters to the London home
of the American millionaire a few weeka
ago. The queen waa amazed when It waa
handed to ber.
"Do you really mean ma to take this
beautiful thing away with me?" aha asked
of her host.
"I had It specially designed and painted
for yovl." answered Mr. Morgan, gallantly.
Th Empress Marie was equally charmed
with hers and by way of expressing her
appreciation of th gift gave Mr. Morgan a
very hearty Invitation to visit her at St.
Petersburg. The kaiser haa also received a

copy from Mr. Morgan. His Imperial maj
esty haa forwarded an autograph letter ac
knowledging the gift, for the kaiser is
extremely partial to rich Americans and
lets no chance slip of getting on good terms
with them.
The books, which sre bound in vellum,
are said to have cost Mr. Morgan a pile of
money. They are profusely Illustrated and
give a short description of the almost end
less list of treasures that make the Prince's
Gat hous on of the most wonderful
homes of art In the whole world. Contrary
to the general Impression, each of the cat
aloguea la unique 'in Itself. ' The Illustra
tions are different and each contains a
water color sketch of the person for whom
It is Intended.
More Mea Are Needed.
The "new man'' Is a modern product be
gotten out of the exigencies of social life
and evolved by the aoclety women of Lon
don. He Is aa totally different from the
rest of hla sex as wss the "new woman"
of a decade or more ago from hers. This
person ' thinks It Is the paramount, duty
of women to entertain him. He takes all
and he gives nothing In return save the
glory of his presenoe which, he considers,
pays very handsomely for all the hospital
ity he enjoys. At present the ''new men"
Is rampant In our midst. He ia ready to
dine with each of hla women friends a
doren times during the season, but he
would not waste a shilling on flowers for
any one of them.
Hostesses who mean to do a good deal
of dinner giving feel they must have men.
British women are bored to desperation
by their own sex. "Hen parties" are to
them the last word In stupidity. This
really explains in a nutshell the suprem
acy of the "new man" who thinks he Is
conferring an honor by acoeptlng an In
vitation A well known hostess said to me the
other day, "I believe the day Is st hand
when we will have to pay Impecunious
youths for their society. It will be an
other case of 'Soldiers In the Park' when
the BrltlBh housemaid forks out a recog
nized remuneration to the red coat' who
jroee awalktng- with her on a Sunday In
Hyde Park." LADT MART.
RECRUITING POST IS DOOMED
Fairness Station Near National Gal
lery Will Bo Torn Don at
Early Date.
LONDON. April 18. Another London
landmark will soon disappear and one that
probably is familiar to moat traveling
Americans. It Is the recruiting place for
the British army near Trafalgar square,
probably the oddest post of its kind kept
up by any government, but one that has
been maintained by England for more than
twenty years. It Is situated on the side
walk of St. Martin's lane, close to the
National Gallery corner, and appertains to
St. George's barracks. Just behind - the
famous square. These barracks are to be
torn down to make room for the new wing
of the gallery and when the work of de
molition begins the sergeants who hang
about the corner on the lookout for new
material for the British army will seek
recruits elsewhere.
On the iron fence which here Intervenes
between the gallery and the sidewalk hang
billboards on which are depicted In bril
liant colors the various types of the British
army. Below these various figures are
printed the requirements of the particular
branch of the service represented. Its pe
culiar advantages, the rates of pay, etc.,
concluding with "God t Save the King" In
big type as an appeal to patriotism. The
recruiting force on duty varies according
to . the needs of the army,. When any
branch of the army. falls so Xar below Its
complement as to make canvassing neces
sary, sergeants, selected for their stalwart
physiques and persuasive powers, are sent
to tills corner with Instructions to bring In
all the "rookies" they can get hold of. Aa
for every accepted candidate the War of
fice divldea a bonua of 5 be
tween the aergeanta engaged In re
cruiting for the arm in which he enlists,
the wearers of the chevrons need no urg
ing. No sooner does a likely looking youth
stop 'to look at the pictures than the ser
geants pounce upon htm. much aa do the
"ropers In" for aome cheap clothing atore
in America when a prospective customer
appeara In atght. He is beguiled with
stories of the glorious opportunities which
the army offers a poor man to see some
thing of the world. He Is told of 81 r Hector
Macdonald and other famous soldiers who
have risen from their ranka. He Is re
minded that with 2 or S a week aa a dead
sure thing and food, clothing and ahelter
found, the soldier la really much better oft
than the average hard-fisted toller in civil
life with whom employment Is of uncertain
duration and the necessity of providing
himself with ' board and lodging Is ever
present.
It Is only when a youth looks as though
he would be able to paas the doctor, how
ever, that the sergeanta really let them
selves out to capture him. I So expert have
they become In aislng up raw material that
they can tell at a glance whether a man
possesses the necessary physical qualifica
tion to don the king's uniform. It Is said
to be a poor day when the staff does not
bring in eight or ten who will pass muster.
From this Trafalgar square station more
recruits have been obtained than from any
other post In the kingdom. But deslpte all
the efforts made to make the army popular
nearly every branch of It is at . present
below its full strength. ,

Threat of a Massacre from the A fed
rmident.
PLEASAOT OUTLOOK FOB WHITES
Nord Alexia Might Bo Able to Carry
Oat Sara a Threat Idea, of For
elsa - laterfereaeo Irri
tate Hint.
PORT AU PRINCE. Aprjl It After a
good deal of Investigation and the sifting
of scores of rumors the foreign residents
here, Including the diplomatic corps, seem
to hsve come to the conclusion that Presi
dent Nord Alexis made no threats against
foreigners during the recent crisis until
after the arrival of the British cruiser In
defatigable. That even alarmed old Alexia
and. according to verified reports, he did
get a bit violent
The old man declared that he would not
stand for foreign Interference in the affairs
of the country, and that If the Indefatig
able landed bluejackets or marines they
should be attacked. Then he said that If
let alone by outsiders he would govern the
country peacefully and that all would be
well, but that Just as soon as foreign
forces were landed or there waa any Inter
ference with the government of Haytl he
would take step that would make the
name of Alexis remembered by whit peo
ple for all time to come. It would b a
bloody page fi Jilatory. according to the
general understanding of what Alexis said,
and no one seems to doubt that he meant
It. ,
That he Is perfectly capable of making
history In this fashion Is beyond question.
Some of the people here In Port au Prince
believe that the president Is afflicted with
a kind of homicidal mania. When he Is
displeased with an official, politician or
citizen he flies Into an uncontrollable rage
and in his fury declares that tho offender
must be ahot Instantly.
And that Is what has happened to a good
many. Sometimes his subordinates calm
him, and aa soon as the burst of temper
has disappeared he Is less bloodthirsty.
If Alexis should ever decide to take ac
tion against the whites he could find means
to execute his purpose. A standing threat
to the safety of the town Is a regiment of
soldiers around the palace.
These are the president's personal guards.
They come from the north, from the cape.
Alexia' own home, and they are very faith
ful to him. He calls them his braves. A
more bloodthirsty set doesn't exist In the
Island, or probably anywhere else In this
part of the world.
It la upon theae men that Alexis depends,
and they are quite ready to do anything
for him. Their reputation la of the very
worst, and Alexis holds a trump card In
having them around. At a ward from him
they would kill all the foreigners, burn the
town or do anything else. . But It Is very
unlikely that they will ever get the word.
Experience of Refnsjees.
The German cruiser Bremen sailed one
day for Kingston with seventy-five refu
gees on board. When the massacre of
March 16 took place those refugees fled
to the French and German legatlona. They
had been there ever since, fearing to step
outside th legation grounds.
Th government declared that ther waa
no reason for their staying under foreign
protection and that they should go to
their homes. They asked ' permission to
depart from the Island. -
At first this was refused, but later the
government decided that they could either
go to their homes within twenty-four hours
or be exiled forever. All chose exile and
were shipped to the German warship.
The pier waa crowded with friends and
relatives of the departing persons. Some
of them have been prominent In public life
here. It Is not likely that they will stay
away from Haytl very long. When Alexis
dies or Is overthrown these exiles will feel
themselves free to return.
As the fright over the expected slaughter
of white people subsides it becomes clearer
that there was a whole lot of hysteria in
the affair. The French and the German
diplomats seem to have been more excited
and alarmed than any of the others, and
some of the things which were reported
to foreign offices on the continent were
doubtless considerably, exaggerated.
Warships Were Needed. .
One American her whose position Is
such that his opinion Is well worth noting
says that he was never certain that It was
really necessary to send for the warahlps,
and that while there was a possibility of
trouble for foreigners, there was nothing
really tangible in the rumors that flew
around so thick and fast at the tlm of
the scare. "
Germany and France, If the Ideas of
those governments are reflected here with
accuracy, are not very enthusiastic over
the position taken by the State department
In Washington. The German minister, the
French minister and the British consul
general all made alarming reports to their
governments. And the governments were
greatly agitated, while the State depart
ment and the legation here remained calm
and cool.
The minister of the United States did not
make a demand on Washington for war
ships, but Washington sent them anyway.
Just because warships of other natlona
were on the epot. Just now the blagtst
reason for keeping the American warships
here is the fsct that Germany, Great
Britain and France have men-of-war on
hand and U wouldn't do for the American
government to be unrepresented.
The diplomats here recently sent home
suggestions about keeping warships around
Haytl permanently. The Mea was that
there ahould be one ahlp of aome national
ity In these water at all times. Germany
heartily favored this plan and auggested
that the Bremen take the flrat trlrk.
The plan will probably not meet with
enthusiasm In Washington, where It ia not
likely that the Idea of foreign warships
doing police duty In the western hemi
sphere wilt be welcome. America, of courae,
is capable of patroling these waters.
Fosltloa Is Delleate.
The position of the United . States la
rather delicate. Like almost all the coun
tries In South America, and Central Amer
ica Haytl has a deep suspicion of th Amer
ican government. Thef la an Idea here
that sooner or later Washington will want
to absorb all of the Weat Indies and that
Haytl will be the firat to go. The officials
here watched our program In Santo Do
mingo with great alarm. They know well
enough that th United Statea may some
day be forced to take the same course
with Haytl.
Various persons here feel a certainty
that soms time, and possibly soon, th
American government will take charge of
the ustoro houses of the country and ad
minister th finance Just aa It la now doing
In Santo Domingo. The Haytlan debt la
very large and practically all of It la held
by outsiders Germans, French. Americans
and English.
Tha value of the native money haa de
preciated greatly. A gourde, th unit, waa
once worth more than an American dollar.
Today on may buy alx and a balf gourde

DECADENCE OF THE TALL HAT
Passing; of the Venerable "Stovepipe"
.Noted with Beflttlaa;
Sabs.
There Isn't sny further doubt about the
decadence of the silk hat. For two hours
I sat in the window of the Lotus club on
Fifth avenue, Manhattan, and watched for
silk hats.
Rarely was more than one In slirht at
a time, although . the splendid thorough
fare was crowded with people!
Practically speaking, he derby has
driven out the tall silk hat as thoroughly
aa English sparrows have banished the
blue birds from our public parks.
In London, "dear, old London," a man
ia expected to wear a tall haf in all weath
ers and with all sorts of garments. Noth
ing Is more common than to see a Lon
doner with a suit of Scotch tweed and a
silk hat upon his head.
Here the code prescribes otherwise. The
only times In which a New Yorker may
with propriety wear a "tile" Is when he
is attired in a frock coat tPrlnc Albert)
or a full dreas (evening) ault. It is not
properly worn with a so-called "Tuxedo
Jacket," any more than It would be with a
smoking Jacket. Indeed, tha ''Tuxedo" Is a
nondescript garment which a properly
dressed gentleman never puts on outside
his library.
Young men who are asked out to dinners
should remember this fact. Not a few of
the careless ones have wondered why they
have been stricken from dinner lists of
friends who knew the shabblness of th
"Tuxedo." Far better to wear an after
noon walking coat than a 'Tuxedo!" An
appearance In the former may be suscepti
ble of explanation. One may have been
pressed with professional duties that ha
could not go home to redress. Any one
of a doxen "white lies" might explain, al
though explanation, under any clrcum
siances, never should be tendered. But
when a guest appears at a dinner where
there are ladles he might better have come
with an unshaven face or wearing a red
neckerchief. He convicts hltnaelf. He has
been home, has had time to redress, but
didn't know enough to comprehend that
he la offering a slight to his hostess.
It is wholly a matter of opinion as to
the propriety cf wearing a "Tuxedo" Jacket
at a "stag" dinner. A man's verdict U
always open to argument or appeal. Harry
Lehr. for a time, affected the habit of re
ceiving the men callera at Newport in the
forenoon arrayed in pink pyjamas. He did
so until one of his guests peremptorily or
dered him back to bed. Then he saw the
folly of his eccentricity which didn't have
the merit of eccentricity, but waa an unin
tentional affront to his caller.
The apparent cause of the decadence of
the "stovepipe" hat la the inability of the
average American to keep his headgear In
decent shape. London haa the worse
climate, taken' all year round, known to
this world; but, somehow, the Briton al
ways appears in public wjth an unruffled
"top hat." In this country the fur never
goes back to Ita place after once encoun
tering a rainbtorm or mist.
A London fog appears to add life and lus
ter to the silk nap! That New York men
are better dressed than Londoners goes
without saying. Even the English admit
this Incontestable fact. But the marvelous
art of keeping "a shine" on a silk hat
Is lost to us.
What hatter will rediscover It and profit
thereby ? Julius Chambers lu Brooklyn

POLITICIANS LIRE SARDINES
Members Crowded Into Benches in
Hall at Westminster.
LACK ' OF E00M KEENLY ' FELT
Dy So Process Conld the Hons of
Commons Accommodate Store
Tbaa Two-Thirds of
Members."
LONDON, April 18. (Speclal.)-Conslder-able
surprise haa been expressed this aide
of the water at tho recent proposal of
Representative Boutelle of Illinois to re
move the desks now provided for the mem
bers of the house of representatives and
replace them with benches as In Uie .Eng
lish House of Commons. The general opin
ion here seems to be that, from the stand
point of the members themselves the
American arrangement is vastly superior
to the British. The palatial freedom of the
legislators of the United States has been
long envied by the lawgivers of Great
Britain, who have always- complained of
the sardine method of packing politicians
which obtain at Weatminster.
But I understand that the American body
Is suffering from a lack of space and some
change is absolutely necessary In the near
future. As a matter of fact, the Houae
of Commons Is suffering from the very
same complaint. It has been up agalnat
this problem for many, many years and
perhaps it will cheer Mr. Boutelle anl his
associates who are troubled by the growing
numbers of the body to which they b?loni
to know that despjte this overcrowding
the English body haa manage! to scrape
along very well.
Seating; Capacity Too Small.
By no process of aqueexlng or conden
sing could the House of Commons hops to
provide seating room for the 670 member
who compose it. To be exact the Itmit
of its seating capacity la Just about two
thirds of its membership. Except, however,
on very rare occasions Its seating arrange,
meuts are seldom taxed to their utmost.
At the present time., however, the crowd
ing of the house Is worse than at any time
previous because of tho huge majority of
the Liberal government. The house Is dlt
vlded Into two equal pans one for thi
government and the other for the opposi
tion. It haa for some years past been
the rule of the Irish members, whether they
supported opposition or government, to
take their placea on the benches of tha
former Thlahas balanced matters a little.
In the house of representatives each
member has hla particular des anj he
alone haa a right to ait at It, but in the
House of Commons no member Is entitled
to a seat with the exception of ministers
or ex-ministers unless he has been present
at prayers. Prayers do not begin until
t o'clock, however, snd on daya when there
la apt to be a big crush many members
are unwilling to watt until that advanced
hour of the day to make sure of their seats.
That Is the case on the opening day of
a session when there are aure to be many
who are excluded because of a lack of
room. At the opening of Parliament this
year several .nembera arrived at 1 o'clock
a. m., although the ceremonies were not
slated to begin until early afternoon.
Hat Holds the Heat.
Of course, in a case like that a member
Is not expected to remain all morning In
the seat he haa secured. The general prac
tice Is to leave one's hat behind and go
one's way until about noon time. The hat
is recognised in Parliamentary manners as
giving a member a sufficient claim to a
seat, a a portmanteau does In a railway
carriage or in a steamboat. Borne of the
members even go so far as to keep twa

k
hats one of them always Jn his Idcker In
the house. Sometimes when a member is
not able to get down early himself b can
ask a friend to place his hat on. a seat.
That, However, ia hardly sanctioned by
Parliamentary etiquette, but it Is fre
quently resorted to by elderly members
who do not feel equal to getting up In the
small hours of the morning
A familiar sight to be seen in the vicinity
of the Houses of Parliament is a bare
headed member walking from the big pile
of buildings that front the River Thames
to his lodgings, having left his hat on
the bench he desired to occupy that even
ing. Parnell, the famous Irishman, was
one of thpse in the habit of doing this
and Labouchere. the editor of "Truth,"
was frequently to be seen walking to the
apartments he occupied near the ' house,
with a small smoking cap perched on the
top of his head.
The seata of the House of Commons are
not very satisfactory after one gets them.
They are sadly in need of repairs and are
very uncomfortable, especially after one
haa sat on them all night. In this respect,
however, they are far superior to those of
the House of Lords. The springs of the
latter are said to be worn out, but with
the House of Commons, which handles the
puree strings of the nation. In its present
humor there does not seem to be much
chance of bettering the comfort of "Mi
Lords."
Of course, one of the worst features of
the English arrangement, as compared with
the American, is that no member having a
fixed seat there Is no opportunity for ad
miring constituents to place floral tributes
on them. The English lawmaker has no
place to store his choice cigars and no
chance to tip his chair and cross his feet
at a level considerably higher that his
head. What the loss of these privileges
will mean to the American legislators,
should the proposed change be made, la
only a' matter of Conjecture, to be sure,
but certainly should be a matter for con
sideration. '

mentioned it to me) and followed It to the
letter. I ate my herring at 12:01 a. m.
