FUNNY FOOLS.
Freddy and Lille are SpOOney
as Ever.

Chicago, 8.-The Jersey Lilly had
drive yesterday with Frederick and her
maid. They went to Lincoln Park, ex-
pecting TO skate, but found too many
hoodl0ms there for their taste. In the
evening Genby was about the hotel cor
ridors; Mrs. l.. was invisible.
The Inter Ocean says: 1t is emily COM
pliment to Mrs. SchWab to recognize in
Freddie's address to the public, the d.
plomatic hand of manager, who under
stands human nature, and whO knows
the more mis- star is talked about, the
larger his audiences will be, If he
would advertise that Mr.. Gebhardt, at
tended by his chaperone, Mr.. Mawts,
would appear in proscemum box at
each performance, the audiences would
increase, and If it were announced that
the man who Is the recipient
of Mrs. Langtry's smiles, would ap-
pear on the stage between acts and make
his best observation-disclosures bow, the
financial success of the season would be
complete, for people love to be hum.
plugged and enjoy looking at nothing go
much as at the face and features of
sublime fool, The more that lie seen and
heard of Gebhardt the larger the re-
ceipts at the COX Office, and while the
young millionaire may net realize that
he is being guyed in an Questionable
manner, his presence at the theatre will
at least not meet with any objection at
the box Office. There is suspicion in the
minds of the company who support Mrs.
LangtrY that Freddie was encouraged
to come to Chicago by the manager, and
that it was with reluctance that she con-
sented to his presence here. In CONVEX.
sation with one Of them yesterday q re-
mark was dropped to the effect that Mrs,
LaDgtry feared her social standing in
England might be seriously injured by
the comments Of American newspapers
upon her relations with the young man,
and that after her experience in
Philadelphia she determined to
suppress his public appearance, if she
could not quench his srdor. She speaks
Of him freely to her friends, and in a
pleasant way acknowledges hearty
regard for him, as we'll as q thcrough
appreciation Of his devotion and gener-
osity, which she hes experienced in a
marked degree. She says he reminds
her of her brother in Derbyshire, or
somewhere else i'll England, and that he
is most delightful fellow to be cure,
but sometimes a little tiresome. She
feels the lack of courtesy, not berg the
recipient Of general attentions from tie
people o. this country, and has accepted
Gebhardps attentions more TO supp the
lack Of attention from other people than
from any particular regard for him. Sic
frequently speaks in an amusing way of
the ardor and devotion he displays, and
has laughed OF the published story OF her
association with him. From the time
she left New York on Sunday morning
until his arrival hera on Friday, the
telegraph wires between the two cities
fairly burned with passionate messages.
and the foolish young man made no at
tempt to correct his emotions from his
ancestors in New York. Several times
day he would send her telegram,
some of them 300 and 400 words in
length, full of protestations Of his love
and the hollowness Of life without her
presence. Ifthe files of the telegraph
Office could be spread to the world they
| would show evidence that Gebhardt's
condition is absolutely alarming. Mrs
Lsngtry answered some of these dig

addressed, "F. Gebhardt, Union Club
New York." and signed, ''WiLh love,

long and very tender, and in them he

knew him, and knew he was in love. He
received one or two messages from her
on the way, and although they contained
some expressions of regard, were brief
and indirect. Here she has been very
discreet and is trying to avoid any disA-
