CAY ROBES FOR COUNTESS
Former Gladyi Vanderbilt Prepare!
for Visit to England.1
DRESS WILL COST BIO FORTUNE
She rromlsea to Orate Farore In
oclet Wkfi Present at
Court Ball to Be Given
for Her.
LONDON, May . Special.) Counters
Sxechenyl, who wan Gladys Vanderbilt. Is
expected to take London by storm dur
ing ' the coming season. She has ar
ranged to stay In England for a few
weeks only, yet in that time It Is highly
rrobable that she will cause as great a
furore as did Alice Roosevelt when she
landed here on her honeymoon. Every
body who Is anybody In the American
colony Is hoping for a chance to enter
tain her. but up to date she has given
her consent to but very few. Mrs. Astor,
Jr., who from all that I can gather thus
far In advance will be the American
hostess par excellence of this season. Is
already at work organizing a series of
festivities In honor of the visit of the
count and countess at Cileveden. Among
those who have promised to be present,
and. Indeed, who are most anxious to meet
the couple are the duke and duchess of
C'onnaught and family.
Uut perhaps more Important still frdn
the viewpoint of the American visitor
will he her visit to Mr. and Mrs. White
law Rcld at the embassy, where a grand
ball Is, to be given in her honor. A llttls
bird Informed me that It was more than
likely that Queen Alexandra herself would
be present. Hitherto, as you no doubt
are aware, although the king and queen
are on the best of terms with the Ameri
can ambassador and his wife, the latter
has never yet attended any of their big
social shows. But this time I under
stand she has given a definite promlso
and can be depended upon to keep it.
Presentation Boon to Take Place.
The presentation of the Countess
Bxechenyl is to take place at one of tl.e
forthcoming courts, and If reports speak
truly she la going to give London a
shocker by the sumptuousness of her at
tire. 1 hear that work has already been
begun on the dress in Paris; that the em
broideries to be used are well-nigh price
less and that the whole thing will cost
a by no means small fortune. Quantities
of precious stones are being introduced,
and If the "toute ensemble" doesn't go
everything that has gone before one bet
ter It will not be because the daughter
of Cornelius Vanderbilt has not tried.
Tlio plans of the duchess of Marl
borough for her cousin's entertainment
have yet to be announced. When the
countess landed here from New York she
gave only a small dinner party at dunder
lund house with a few chosen gucBts.
Rmarl Americans will again occupy about
one-third of the choice boxes at Covent
Uirilon opera house this season. Instead
of puttlrg the boxes up at auction the
management's policy Is to allow all sub
scribers of the previous year the refusal of
their places. So that In the majority of
cases well known Americans will be found
In tho same old positions. There are some
exceptions, however. The American am
bassador has altered his address from Box
2 to 63 for Mondays and Fridays and to 64
for Wednesdays, Mrs. Glasgow has taken
Box 36 on the pit tier and Mrs. Newhouse,
Lily duchess of Marlborough and Mrs.
Almerlc Paget are. among other American
who have also secured boxes. Mrs. Adair,
Mrs. Burns and Mrs. Harry Higglns all
retain their old places.
I hear that one Immensely rich Ameri
can who, socially speaking, is never apt to
"arrive," recently offered a fabulous sum
for one of the royal boxes, but was curtly
told that these were exclusively reserved
for their original occupants. .
Diplomat's Attractive Wife.
I.ady Ixiwther, wife of the new British
ambassador at Berlin, is one of the most
attractive of the many America women
who have married diplomats. Being popular
as well she will be welcomed not only by
her compatriots, but also by a large circle
of English friends this season, which she
Intends to spend In London. She was Alice
Blight of Philadelphia when she captured
Sir Gerald, who was then first secretary to
the British embassy at Washington. His
advancement has been rapid. The IxwtUers
are an extremely powerful family and can
accomplish most things with little effort.
There was not much to envy In Lady
Lowthrr's lot at Tanglers, while her hus
band was minister there. Legation life, as
you can Imagine, Is dull there to a degree,
,for weeks and weeks go by and absolutely
nothing happens. Lady Lowther was tell
ing tome. on lately that her chief excite
ment was derived from the arrival of the
English and American newspapers.
The marriage of Miss Essie Redmond, the
elder daughter of John Redmond, leader
of the Irish Parliamentary party, to Dr.
Power of New York, is arousing great In
terest In Irish and. Indeed, English circles
here, for the Redmonds have many English
friends, though they never go out of their
way to cultivate them.

Miss Redmond a Dramatist.
Mr. Redmond's second daughter. Miss

have already been pi rfoimed. Like the rest
of her family she Is ardently patriotic and
to hnve to live for a part of the year In
Irfndon Is one of the many grievances
which she treasures tip against the haled
Saxon. She la a good horsewoman and Is
often seen tn the Row In the early morning
taking her ranter.
We in English society are delighted to
hear that the Charlemagne Towers are
expected In Ixmdon for a brief, stay during
the inmlne summer. Berliners whom I
have met say that Mrs. Tower Is the most
clever Amerlcin wnmnn In Europe and we
are all looking forward to meeting her.
From all accounts she. and not her hus
band, is the Americ an ambassador to Ger
many. She runs the embassy as well as
Yankee society In the big German capital
and at the same time Is on Intimate terms
with that more than exclusive lady, the
kalserin.
t ntll the arrival of the Towers in Berlin
It was truly a d-ill spot for An ericans, who
hitherto, unless of great social standing,
were left out In the cold. Like our own
Edward, William of Germany ha a great
penchant for the rich. The Towers spend
money royally. They run the enihnsy on
a more expensive rcaln even thnn any of
the Imperial palacs. Moreover, tiiey are
rdeeldedly cultured people and their contri
butions to hospitals and the kalsrln s pet
charities are most lavish. Everyone of im
portance who has lived In Berlin knows
that the empress l;as some philanthropic
schemes everlastingly on hand and If her
friends want to remain her friends they
have to shell out every other wek or so.
Many of her charitable enterprises are pri
vate affairs. She hears perhaps of orphans
tn need of assistance, of a family which
through some accident has come to grief
and off she goes and, makes collections for
them. In cases of this kind the Charle
magne Towers always conic out In the big
hearted manner which characterizes them,
so that their uses to the imperial lsdy
cannot be overestimated. LADY MARY.

probably weilds more secret power than
anyone else in England at the present time.
Besides being the intimate personal frP-nd
of King Edward, and occupying the un-
r.t M. rhlef adviser he Is a
OlllCIHl l"'l o.
man to be reckoned with In all matters of
Importance. He Is the power behind the
throne. Uttle did the kaiser know of
his ability wheff he said In his letter that
Lord Esher should "leave ships alone and
stick to drain pipes." a contemptuous refer
ence to Lord. Elsher's appointment as
deputy constable of Windsor1 Castle. In
which capacity he brought the sanitary
arangements In connection with the kings
palace up-to-date.
Lord Esher Is recognized In Ejngland as
one of the most thoroughy Informed au
thorities on naval affairs. Though his pub
tlo record as a reorganiier Is mainly
identified with the War office. Lord Esher
ts a pasttnaster in naval matters. When
the task of reforming the army was Im
posed upon him. aa one of the members
of the Royal Commission appointed for that
purpose, his first suggestion was that the
army should be remodelled along naval
lines.
This radical move brought down upon
him the criticism of all the "experts,"
but he finally carried his point, and now
It Is recognized that he waa right. He Is
one of the strongest adherents of Admiral
Fisher, and, as chairman of the War Office
Reconstruction committee, paid the "Sea
Lord" the compliment of following his ad
vice by applying to the army many sug
gestions, whclh the admiral made.
What aroused the Ire of the German
emperor was a published letter, which Ixird
Esher sent to the Imperial Maritime league
in which he said that thero was not a man
in Germany, from the kaiser down, who
would not welcome the downfall of Sir
John Fisher, or words to that effect. Sir
John Is the First Sea Ixrd. and has prac
tical command of the navy. He has the
credit of "scrapping" most of the old Iron
clads and completely rehabilitating Eng
land's first line of defense. This lias
caused most of the unmuziled admirals on
the retired list to howl wrathful))'.
When the cabinet was reconstructed In
1903, Lord Esher wai offered the war of
fice, but lie refused, ostensibly owing to
Ill-health; but really because he could ex
ert more power "behind the scenes." 1ord
Esher was a close, personal friend and ad
viser of Queen Victoria, and acted as In
termedial y between the queen and her
prime ministers on many Important oc
casions. He has recently edited for publi
cation the letters and manuscripts left by
the late queen, which shows the great
confidence reposed In liiin by the king.
When King I! ward came to the throne
Iord Esher desired to retire from the
court, but the king made most flattering
offers and practically Installed him as his
chief mentor. Wielding almost unlimited
power and being able to "run things"
without coming Into the open, no wonder
Ixnd Esher has steadily refused all posts
of public command.
FRENCH WOMAN KILLS INFANTS
Mob OTltlK Utsneultr Prevented from
Lynching Her When Details
Are Made Known.
1 i
NANCY, France, May 9. A woman
named Jeanne Weber narrowly escaped
lynching here today at the hands of an
Infuriated mob after It had been learned
that she was guilty of brutally strangling
a 7-year-old boy to ueath.
Several months ago the Weber woman
was arrested In Paris, charged with the
murder of over a score of children. The
affair created a great sensation at the
time. Doctors who examined her ex
pressed the belief that she was a victim
of infanticidal mania, and as no proof to
secure a conviction could be found, she
was allowed to go. The woman arrived
here last Wednesday and under an as
sumed name she secured lodging in the
borne of a working man.
This morning she was four.d asleep with
the dead body of the buy by her side. The
child had been strangled. He was cov
ered with blood and his tongue had been
cat out. When the identity of the mur
deress had become known an Immense
crowd gathered outside the house shout
ing: "Let us get at the ogress." and trted
to lynch her. The police arrived and ar
rested the woman, but they were forced
to fight tholr way to jail with the

GLADSTONE'S SON FAILURE
He Will Soon Be Shelved on Seat in
House of Lordi.
TOO FOND OF MUSIC AHD GOLF
Present Premier Tronbled with Soil
i
Heart and Delays Action im
Case of Home Sec
retary. LONDON, May .-(Special .) It Is said
In well-Informed circles that the only rea
son the Right Hon. Herbert Gladstone, M.
P., son of the "Grand Old Man" of English
politics, was retained In the cabinet after
the shuffle which took "place when Mr.
Asqulth succeeded the late Sir Henry
Campbell-Bannerman Is that the new prime
minister is troubled with a soft heart The
report still survives, however, that when
things have settled down snd It will not
attract so much attention the home secre
tary will be made a peer Lord Hawarden
and thus shunted Into the House of Lords,
where, whether a man amounts to much
or little doesn't matter. That Is the politest
method known to the English body politic
of "shelving" a man. Handicapped by the
possession of a great name, overshadowed
and dwarfed by the superlative genius of
his father and foredamned by the Inevitable
comparison, Herbert Oladstone has made
a failure as a cabinet minister.
.. Too Fond of Amusement.
There be some some who claim to be
lieve that had Herbert Gladstone been the
son of an ordinary man he would have
made a big success as a politician. The
more general opinion, however, is that lie
has always been too fond of golf and
music and too chary of hard work to ever
have made a success In the political arena.
"Our Herbert" as he is known to his lib
eral associates In the present government,
met the Waterloo of his career when ho
tackled that eminently difficult and thank
less billet, the home secretaryship, which
he now holds. He has made such a failure
of his Job that the political physicians who
have been called in on his case have no
reasons for doubting that something drastic
will have to be done.
If opportunities and advantages could
have made a statesman out of Gladstone's
son, Herbert would have been the light of
his nge. lie was born In Downing street
when his father was a political power In
the country and he was weaned on politics.
At school his eminent father was accus
tomed to bombard him With weekly let
ters chock-a-block with political wisdom.
At the age of 26 he entered Parliament and
Immediately became private secretary to
his father. In those days he was known
as "Tuppence" Gladstone, and also as "The
Youthful Hercules." He was of small
build, but had all the manly strength and
vigor of his great pater. In the days of
his father he seldom spoke, leaving that
end of the business to the head of the
family, but he had excellent training as an
administrator. At various times he served
as financial secretary to the War office,
chief liberal whip. Junior lord of the treas
ury, first commissioner of works, and un
der secretary to the home office. Such a
course of sprouts was bound to make a man
or mar him, and It appears to have worked
the latter change In this soft pine chip off
an old oak block.
Passion for Music.
Herbert Gladstone's failure as a states
man Is said to be due largely to his love
for music, which amounts to a passion.
He Is a delightful pianist and 'cellist and
has a charming tenor voice. So strong Is
his love for music that It ultimately led
him to the hymeneal altar. Through dor
ens of London seasons he withstood the
wiles of match-making mothers and heart
touched debutantes until he arrived at the
age of 47. Forty-seven and had never been
kissed! His oscillatory record reminds one
of another of the "cltyi unklssed," Dowle
by name, who held forth under the watch
ful eye of a proud father somewhere near
Chicago.
Just when everybody thought Cupid had
called the chase off the sly little scoun
drel made a bull's eye and Herbert Glad
stone wedded one of the most charming
girls In London. And Cupid accomplished
this seeming miracle through the politi
cian's love ot muFlc. It seems that at a
ceitaln house he was aaked to sing a duet
with the daughter of Sir Richaid Paget
and with each succeeding note of the duet
the resolutions of years and the dreams of
single blessedness came tumbling down on
the head of the stony-hearted bachelor of
forty-seven summers and a like number of
winters. Then a hustle and a bustle of
preparation society astonished elaborate
ceremony in a fashionable church the
event of the social season prettiest bride
and handsomest bridegroom and all that
sort of rot that makes the newspapers
worth reading, you know.
Declared I'nnt for Daly.
Well, that was seven years ago and Her
bert's devotion to music, and incidentally
golf, has grown more marked as the Inter
vening years rolled by. And his Interest
in and devotion to his public work decreased
tn the same proportion. It was reserved
until the present session of Parliament to
put an extinguisher on him, however. As
home secretary It should have been his
task to introduce the licensing bill Into the
House of Commons and carry It through.
That would really have been the first big
thing the sun of the "Great Commoner"
had done since he assumed office. But Mr.
Afsqulth, who was then chancellor of the
exchequer, stepped in and took It out of
his hands, thereby declaring to the whole
country Gladstone's unfitness for the Job.
It Is said that Herbert would much prefer
the upper house. The lethargic atmosphere
of the House of Lords would be more to
the liking of this quiet, unassuming, bash
ful man than the rough and tumble arena
of the House of Commons. lie Is a man
of about 5 feet 7 inches In height, with dark
curly hair and brown eyes. He Is very
fond of all forms of athletics, especially of
long-distance walking.

LAVISH GRATUITIES IN EUROPE
Travelers from America Create a
Overwhelming; Desire for Wealth
In Hearts of Foreign
Menials.
LONDON, May 9. (Special.) To tip or
not to tip Is the question confronting all
classes of society In England just at pres
ent. The habit of exacting- tips has grown
so by what It fed upon that now the givers
of tips are raising an outcry agsinst tip
grabbers throughout Europe.
Traveling Americans are held to be di
rectly responsible for this situation. Their
lavish expenditure In this direction has
simply demoralized Europe. In many places
millionaire Americans who desire to demon
strate that thoy "possess the rocks" have
allowed their desire for notoriety tj?xceed
their Judgment. The consequence is that,
when the next person, more moderately en
dowed, makes his appearance, he meets the
contumely of the upturned nose and the
reversed hand.
At railway stations, big hotefS, restau
rants and theaters the habit of tipplt Is
more or less an, unassailable custom. And
though It has long been the custom for
tips to be freely given and more freely ex
pected, perhaps at English country man
sions, the domestic bandits have recently
grown even more rapacious. If one Is In
vited for a week-end visit, it is almost as
costly as putting up at a first-class hotel.
Every servant even though he only hands
you your cane or umbrella expects not less
than $5 on, your departure. Recently, at
the end of a few days' shooting at a well
known country house, the departing guest
offered the gamekeeper 110 In the form of
two golden sovereigns. The minion of the
gun-room turned his back on the proffered
gift with the cool remark: "Sir, this Is a
paper house;" meaning that nothing lees
than a five-pound note should have been
tendered.
f'haoffenra Take Palm.
The most exacting adepts of the tip In
country places are chauffeurs who drive
you to and from your destination. Unlike
old-fashioned family coachmen who were
satisfied wltli a modest reward for such
service, the chauffeur regards himsiMf in
the light of a privileged functionary. If
you fail to tip him both going and coming,

he does not hesitate to let the fact be
known. Doubtless ho regards himself In
the light of a species of lifesaver, and con
alders that he 1b entitled to a reward for
not running his car Into an obstruction.
The treatment of an Invited guest at a
country mansion Is governed by the
chauffeur's manner toward you on ar
rival. The other servants tan tell at a
glance whether or not you have "opened
up" in a way equal to expectation. If
not. a hundred and one embarrassing lit
tle things are likely to happen before the
end of your visit and you can congratulate
yourself If you don't have to fetch your
own hot water In the morning.
It seems that there Is a tendency to
revert to the times of old when tipping
in great houses almost amounted to a
species of blackmail. It was customary
for servants to "line up" In the hall and
to expect $5 for every article handed to
the departing guest. On one occasion a
man refused to take his own gloves from
the hand of a Bervant because lie (lid
not consider them worth the price ex
pected by way of a tip.
For the Itestanrant.i.
A few years ago It was usual at most
of the better class restaurants to pay by
way of a tip 10 per cent of whatever your
' meal cost. But now all this Is changed.
I Walters expect not less than 15 per cent.
and even "0 per cent is demanded at such
resorts as the Rltz and Carlton. In other
places the waiter commandeers all the
change from a bank note, even though It
Is a considerable amount. There are many
hotels where waiters make so much from
tips that they even ray for the positions
they hold. In such Institutions It Is ai
most as much as your life Is worth not
to give an adequate tip. Tuhllc Insult Is
meted out to all such delinquents and an
appeal to the proprietor meets with scant
sympathy, naturally enough, as that dig
nitary shares In the expected "swag."
For this state of affairs the management
of these places Is entirely to hlame. The
waiters have to depend for their living
upon "voluntary contributions," and the
consequence Is that the public must suf
fer from unreasonable exactions.
At railway stations the greatest offend
ers In tip dispensing are also Americans.
They bestow half frowns (60 cents) where
they should only give 12 cents at most.
The consequence is that Americans are
"Bpotted" and sought after to the neglect
of the steady-going DriliHhor, who pon
ders deeply before parting with a silver
sixpence (value 12 rents).
In Wake of Americans,
It Is a singular phenomenon that this
mania for tip grabbing iaa followed
wealthy Americans all over Europe. Many
select continental reports have been wliii
ply ruined owing to the fact that a few
traveling millionaires have passed through

REAL REFORM ON A FARM
Some Details of Cleveland's Benefl-
t-eat Substitute for the
Workhouse.
In a recent "number ot The Outlook, Fred
erick C. Howe tells what the city of Cleve
land Is doing to reclaim men and women
committed to the workhouse for the minor
offenses of drunkenness, vagrancy, assault,
petty thieving and the like.
Among the men Mayor Johnson has
guthered around him Is Dr. Harris H.
Cooley, who left the ministry of the church
of the Disciples to take charge of Cleve
land's department of charities and corr. c
tlon. The city at that time was follow
ing tho practice of commuting such of
fenders, who could not pay their fines,
to a workhouse, where they were held to
confining employment during the term of
committment. They came to the workhouse
more or less weakened and demoralized
by dissipation and misfortune and were
sent back to the streets again little better
for their close confinement and more hard
ened In their hostile attitude toward the
community or society.
Through the efforts of Mayor Johnson,
with the counsel of Dr. Cooley, tha-clty ac
quired some 1.200 acres of land on an ele
vation overlooking the city, and the lake,
and for some time these minor offenders
have been sent there instead of to the
woikhouse. Not only are they given more
healthful and physically strengthening
work out of ioors, but they are left wi b
out the restraint of force upon their liberty.
Tiiey are free to escape If they cho iye,
and those who calculated that under s ie!i
circumstances .'ery few would aLUoe the
freedom or the confidence placed In them
seem to have calculated well. Dr. Cooley
presents his theory and the results so far
observed as follows:
"Instead of punishing these men l y exact
ing tasks for which they are unsui:ed, we
now put the mon this heaudful faim. They
live out of doors. They are working at
something for which they are fitted; for

most of them come from sonio coarse work
or other. Wa have a splendid quarry from
which we can build miles of road, and lay
the foundations of our buildings. Then,
too, we have this great estate to farm. Wa
will supply the city hospitals. Infirmary,
and other institutions with good milk, with
fresh vegetables. We can also supply th
police and fire departments with hay and
grain. Even from a financial point of view
this experiment Justifies Itself.
"But that is the least Important consid
eration. Tho principal thing Is that we
restore tho prisoner's self-respect. He
grows strong by outdoor work. He goes
back to life again able to meet the tempta
tions which th.i city offers. And a very
largo percentage of these men never coma
bacK. But better even than that, we re
store their respect and confidence in them
selves. For we treat them like men and
they respond to It. We have had hundreds '
of prisoners at work on the farm here and
only a handful have ever taken advantagu
of their liberty. And It was the other
prisoners who were most Incensed at their
escape. They were unhappy because soma
of their associates had broken their word.
That is why we do not need guards to
watch these men."
More than this. Some, of tho men whr
have served time on tho city farm and
have recovered their self-respoct, have
taken an active Interest in the work. As
Mr. Howe tells the story, one of tho men
who had been released some two years ago,
after having saved up some money, returned
to help a friend who had been committed,
and ,out tills grew a "brotherhood" of re
leased men. who rented a house ir. the city,
furnished It at a cost of $:',20O to themselves,
and now make ute of It to take in other
persons In need of help as they are re- '
leased, and protect them until they obtain,
employment.' It is stated that within two
years no less than 427 men have passed
through this brotherhood association on
their way back to a better life In the world.
Heal Cause of I'ncnmonla.
The announcement of a new theory as
to the cause of pneumonia and the discov
ery of a remedy for the disease was msdn
the otner evening by Dr. H. Manning
Klsli.
Dr. Fish said that the seat of trouble
in pneumonia 'ruses was not the lungs, but
In tlv small cells In the bony framework at
the top of th nose ,
"From thei-e ceils," said Dr. Fish, "the
disease works rapidly down to the lungs,
and to all appearances these organs im
mediately become the seat of trouble.
However, the fuel which ts feeding Uih
flames of disease still Is being furnished
from the cel- r tl e top of the nns.
The simple remedy consequently is to
draw this dangerous pus from these cells.
That was what was done In the case which
I have described, and in twenty-four hours
the disease had disappeared. The lungs, of
cource, were still affected, and it took da)
before the patient finally was able 10 leave
his bed." Chicago Journal.
