Pierce aa above, ent arrangements, have left London for the United States. But she returns to us again shortly, as she has taken a fresh leaso to Mrs. Adair's house In Curion street, to which ahe flew from 13 Brook street during the season, after a aeries of trials which were attributed at the time to the number of the house. Mrs. John Jacob Astor has always held a unique and Interesting position In London society, but thia year- she queened It over moat other Americana a position arrived at through her excluslvcness, her beauty and the !avlshness of her entertainments, nota bly her ball which waa one of the great Anglo-American events of the aeason. Her dressing, too, waa wonderful. John S. Sar gent, the painter, got the credit of de signing some of her frocks. Probably them Is scarcely a queen In Europe who could have Induced the autocratic R, A. to have done this. To. Mrs. John Jacob Astor all things are possible. , It was she who Introduced us to the dlrectolre gown at Its best and to char meuse satin. I am told she has Just pro vided herself with an exquisite new ward robe for her stay In the United States, each frock and mantle expressing the very last word which Parla has to Bay In mattere sartorial. Doucet and Worth vie with each other for the privilege of dressing her. Were she a poor woman she need never pay a cent for her gowns, so willing would the artistes In clothes be to gown her. To the Parisians she appeals essentially because of the perfect contour of her figure and her rare. Indeed unique, coloring. They think there haa never been a woman Uks her since the days of Eugenie. Venice Aatoinn Resort. Venice has become a rage aa an autumn resort. The latest to give the cachet of her approval to It Is Consuelo, duchess of Man chester, who has a delightful apartment there. For the last three or four seasons Venice has been attracting both English and American visitors, but this autumn it has reached tile tentth of Its popularity, and now that (Yinsuclo, duchess of Man cheater, has approved It, fancy prices are being offered for palazil on the Grand Canal. The duchess Is anxious to pur chase the apartment she Is occupying, hav ing taken a great Taney to life In the place. The young countess of Craven la anxious to acquire quarters on the Canal and Mrs. Walter Duma la also luuKing out for a suite of rooms. For years Muriel Wilson has gone to Venice regularly In the spring and autumn, and this year has for a guest Lady Essex. Muriol Wilson's apartment is on the Canal, and la a perfect treasure house of beautiful thing. (Ticeleas ruK. and tapestries, wonderful china, silver and brasses, as well as Italian maateri t es in pictures and sculpture are In every room. The apartment and Its contents are her own special property, and ahe goes there when ahe wonts to seek repose and rest. Sargent, of the Royal Academy, Is also In Venice Just now and goes everywhere, or at least la asked everywhere. He is often with Consuelo, duchess of Manchester, with whom he is on very friendly terms. Later he Is to paint yet another picture of her, but she wishes the sitting -layed until she la looking her best, as of late she has been far from well. Mr. Martin Scores Trlamph. Mrs. Bradley Martin has succeeded In obtaining a far more important social po sition In Scotland than hiatsse wtm boast of the flow of royal blood In their veins. Even the duchess of Fife, the princess royal, la said to fi-el anxiety re garding the popularity of the wife of the American millionaire. The duchess Is practically the first lady In Scotland by right rati. i r of her husband's, position than the fact that she is the eldest daug ter of King Edward. Fife belongs to the famous clan of MacDuff; besides he Is ono of the greatest Scotch magnates. Of late years the duchess has seen ft to live on her reputation without troubling to take any active part In popular gatherings. Here Mrs. Bradley Martin came In and scored. She gave and distributed prises at the annual sports, brought parties of friends from Balmacaan In twenty-odd motor cars, took an hotel to accommodate them and wore Jewels which are worth a king's ransom. Talking of Jewels, this year It haa become the chic thing to array yourself In magnificent ones at the vari ous Scotch meetings a fashion set abso lutely by Mrs. Bradley Martin who hith erto used to be very severely criticised for donning her amazing treasury of atones for such occasions. One of the most definite characteristics of the present mistress of Balmacaan Is the contempt with which she treats uncomplimentary remarks In the press or elsewhere. This year at the Inverness meeting she had the pleasure of seeing every aristocratic lady In the neighborhood wearing the family heir looms. Conntesa Saeeheuyl Barred. Five specialists were summoned when the your Countess Ssechenyl, formerly Gladys Vanderbllt, was recently slightly Indisposed, the cause being a cold or some thing as trivial. They were telegraphed for by the count, who Is so devoted to his wife that he Is under the delusion that he Is bound to lose her. The fair Gladys Is abnormally amured with laughter. In which the great medical men Joined, when they found themselves arrayed around her couch. Nevertheless, after she had en tertained them to a sumptuous repast they each pocketed their 100 guinea fee and, still laughing, decamped. During the visit of thn five medical "stars" the countess Informed them that the only Illness she suffered from waa en. nul and that If they could only give hor a remedy for that she would truly bless them. She Is bored to death In the an cestral home, Its state and ceremony and old world traditions being trying Irs the extreme to have to live up to. She has Informed some of her Intimates here that for sure she will spend the season In Lon don next year. One of the trials of the American heiress U that while In Hungary she can never telephone to her friends.1 She proposes Inter to have the telephone fixed up In the nncestral castle a matter of considerable ct-st inasmuch as It has not yet made its appearance In any part of the kingdom save the capital. She recently purchased a new property on the Danube which Is to be transformed Into one of the most sumptuous houses on the conti nent. It has cost $1,000,000 and she pro poses to spend li.OOO.OOO more upon It In an attempt to make It a home worthy the daughter of a Vanderbllt. LADY MAKY. Quick Returns Through Uee Want Ads. H lama re It and Moalc. The Vossische Zettung publishes an ar filce on "Bismarck and Music," In which the writer says that the Iron Chancellor hud a fine baritone voice, which was never cultivated. He was a student of music, however, and for that reason his opinions on musical subjects are valuable. "Pur chased music," he said, "like that of the opera houses and concert halls, has no value whatever for me. But I know of nothing dearer than the music of a home." He was an attentive listener whin his wife, a pianist of first order, played for him, and waa particularly partial to Beethoven and Schubert, but disliked variations of ail kinds. He wanted direct music. The Hun- I garlan gypsy bands excited his enthusiasm, and the musical memory of the performers always called forth expressions of admira tion. But Bismarck's special delight was military music, to which he could listen for hours. He once said In addressing a glee club, after a serenade arranged In his honor, that Becker's "Rhelnlled" In 1SU and "Die Wacht am Rheln" had done much for Germany's unification. "It was not the numbers but the enthusiasm which gave us victory, and the German song was re sponsible largely for that element." ENGLAND FACES BIG CRISIS Thousand! of Unemployed Parade Streets of Large Cities. SERIOUS OUTBREAKS MAY COME V i ' Threats of Hausry Men Oalr Pre vented by Immediate Assistance Bread Riots Likely to Follaw. It la an easy matter to do business through The H Want Ad Coluuiu. LONDON, Oct. 10.-(Speclal.)-England Is face to face with the most serious condi tion of unemployment In Its history, and unless relief Is provided on an unpre cedented scale during the coming winter, bread riots may be expected In many of the (principal c'Jtles. Already the mutterlngs of discontent have been heard and in Glas. gow, at least, bloodshed was only pre vented a few days ago by the prompt ac tion of the authorities In yielding to the demands of the workless men and startling relief works. Unemployment has been growing in Eng land for many years and about three years ago it reached such a point that Parlia ment passed a bill In a hurry, empowering local authorities to levy a small tax for the purpose of providing work for their unemployed. The amount of the tax, how ever. Is strictly limited and It must have the approval of the local government board, the head of which Is a member of the cabinet, before It may be levied. This met the situation for the time being. The procession of unemployed disappeared from the streets, and In the parks and other pub lic placed groups of men could be seen doing a very little work for rather large pay provided by the taxpayers. Unemployed Act Breaks. This year, however, the situation Is so bad that the unemployed act has broken down. It la clearly evident already that Ihe powers conferred on the local au thorities under the act will be totally In adequate to relieve the immense number of unemployed , workmen who are now clamoring for work or food and whose numbers will be Increased us the weather becomes more severe. The following are approximate numbers of unemployed re ported In some of the principal cities in the middle of September: London, 200,000; Ieds, S.OOO; Liverpool, 25,OJO; Glasgow. 20.000; Bristol. 2.000; Man chestsr, ll.OoO; Belfast. 10.000; Dundee, 5,000; Sheffield, 12.000; Sunderland, 13.000. In addition to these every Industrial town In the kingdom has Its quota of unemployed and the number Is being steadily Increased. It Is evident how little the making of new parks and roads can do to provide employ ment for this great army. The most dangerous feature of the situ ation Is the bold attitude adopted by the leaders of these Idle men. Socialism has made great strides In England of recent .years and the English workman Is no longer contented "with that station In life to which God has called him." He no longer accepts starvatlnon and cold aa acts of God. He now demsnds the right to work and the right to live and If he la denied them he Is developing a very ugly temper toward those whom he holds responsible for his plight. Unemployed la Glasgow. A few days ago a mob of 15 000 unem ployed men In Glasgow, led by well known socialists, and singing revolutionary songs, started on a midnight march from the center of the town to the district Inhabited by the wealthy cltisens. Their avowed ob ject waa to call at tho lord prov.t's house and force him to do something for their relief, but many of the orators who haran gued them before starting did not hesitate to advise them to raid the houses of the rich. The procession was ridden down by mounted police and dispersed before It got half way, and If the police had not been able to deal with the mob, the King's Own Scottish Borderers were waiting with bay onets fixed and rifles loaded at their bar racks ready to be called on. Slnco the procession two socialists have been sent to prison for advising tha mob to use bombs and red pepper against the police and the lord provost has traveled post haste to London to secure the consent of the local government board to a plan for providing work on an extraordinary scale. In Liverpool a few days ago 12.000 un employed dock laborers marched to the city hall and demanded work. Their lead ers did not hesitate to predict that If work or bread were not forthcoming they would loot the city. The mayor and councillors promised at once to appeal for power to relieve them and a truce was declared. Practically the same thing has occurred at Belfast, where a large number of ship builders and linen workers are unem ployed. Their leaders threatened and the municipal authorities promised. Ontlok Serious for Winter. The whole tcne of the leaders of the un employed Is threatening. Victor Grayson, M. P., the socialist who was elected to Parliament by the Colne Valley miners at the last general election, predicts that next winter will be one of horror. Speaking In his constituency a few days ago he de clared that starving people had no right- to be orderly and advised his hearera, If they could not find work, to enter the shops and take what they needed for the support of themselves and their families. In Manchester a few Sundays ago about a thousand unemployed men marched to the cathedral during the morning service arjd Insisted on the dean preaching a spe cial sermon to them and making a special collection. The dean advised them to be peaceable and was continually Interrupted and Jeered at. These cathedral marches are becoming a feature of the unemployed agitation. A few weeks ago a party of London unemployed marched to Ft. Paul's and the dean was also compelled to make a special collection arjl preach a special sermon. He was listened to respectfully, however. Another party of unemployed In vaded the cathedral at Canterbury, but the dean there refused to listen to them. It must be borne In mind that the figures quoted do not give any adequate Jdea of the distress. Thus In Glasgow It Is stated that nearly every one of the i000 ldlle men Is the head of a family and that there are at least 80,000 pernors in want. The same rule will apply lo most of the Industrial towns, except London, to which great numbers cf single men drift In search of casual employment, but even In I.nndon It Is safe to estimate that about half of the men registered as unemployed are the heads of families. So far no suggestion has been made for dealing with the situation this winter. The British taxpayer Is carrying a load now which cannot be greatly Increased and the government Is most unwilling to take the responsibility of Imposing fresh taxation. It begins to look as If the ministers are determined to wait until the situation be comes so serious that the country will de man! Immediate action from them, regard less of the cost. In the meantime, how ever, the unemployed seem determined not to wait and there Is every Indication that there will be a serious outbreak before anything la done. Americans, probably as Mrs. Horace Au gustus Helysr, whose husband was one of the secretaries of the British legation at Washington In the eighties. Her beauty and great mass of golden hair produced a sensation tn capital society and she became a rage. After the death of her first hus band Mrs. Helyar married John Savlle Lumley, who two years later In 1894, suc ceeded to the barony of Savlle and about 1175,000 a year. It was Lady Savlle who, upon her re turn to London society from Washington, while she was still Mrs. Helysr, Introduced the American 'surprise party" and other forms of entertainment Into Mayfalr. 8he soon gained a reputation as an Interesting and unconventional hostess and became Immensely popular with the set of the king, then the prince of Wales. Lord Savlle himself Is an enthusiastic hunter, one of the best shots tn England and extremely popular In society. He has a fine town house In Charles street, Berkeley square, and owns something like 34,000 acres. The Abbey, although a very ancient structure, dating back to the beginning of the twelfth century. Is nevertheless one of the most comfortable country houses In England. Every modern convenience Is at the king's hands and It Is largely because of this that his majesty Is so frequent a visitor. King Edward Is a very hard man to entertain and makes no bones about showing his displeasure should the ar rangements of his host not ensure htm ease, comfort and freedom from petty annoy ances. It Is usual at houses where he Is staying to provide a special llvered attendant to open the doors of the various rooms through which he may have occasion to pass. This feature Lady Savlle has dis pensed with and the host or hostess per forms the duty. In other respects she Is very much like any other hostess. Only newly-minted money Is used when his majesty plays cards and a new pack Is provided for every game. At the dining table only one finger bowl that used by the king Is allowed on the table. Rufford Abbey Is not content with one ghost, but Instead boasts three. The king and the Savlles declare they have nevur seen any of the Interesting trio, but In that respect they are less fortunate than the Inhabitants of an adjoining parish, who according to the records, "died of fright after seeing the Rufford ghost." The spirit who makes the most frequent ap pearances takes the shape of a wlrtw-robed monk, but running It a close second Is that known as the "white lady of Rufford." The trio la completed by a woman In black who was a more frequent visitor In years gone by than she is toduy. King Edward is by no means the first English monarch to visit Rufford. Charles I.. Charles II., James I., and George IV. have all slept undet Its roof as well. I Advertise In The T?ee. the paper that goes Into the homes of the best people. Rapid Telearaphy by Telephone, Much Interest has been aroused In Prague by. the invention of a Hungarian by which It Is said that as many as 4l,000 words per hour may be transmitted over a telephone, phpne.. - The machine consists of three parts a perforator, transmittitt and receiver. Th first may be worked by a typewriter, while the other two are automatic, working through the agencies of electricity am. photography, and the Instrument may be connected by an ordinary telephone line. The operator first writes the messages upon a long paper ribbon. By touching the keys a aeries of holes are punched in th ribbon, each set of holes representing a let ter. After taking the ribbon from the per forator, the inventor places It In a. small cylinder in the transmitter, and a touch of the switch sets the cylinder revolving, and the ribbon wlih It. Before the ribbon has completely passed through the trans mitter, a second broader strip of sensitized psper Issues from the receiver, und upon It Is written In plain, legible characters the actual message which the Inventor or operator has written cm the typewriter.
