LOVE AND LUST IN COURT.
GLADSTONE THE IDOL OH
THREE PINK DOMINOES.

The Premier's Name Coupled With That
OF Laura B." Mrs. Langtry and
Madame NovidOff-sfr Dixie and the
Marquis of Harrington also Nimbly
CaperinE in the VOluptuous Courts OF
Venus.
LONDON, May 16.-Parliamentary cir
Giles are greatly excited over the charges
against the private character OF Premier
| Gladstone, Sir Charles Dixie, Colonial
Secretary, and the Marquis Of Harrington,
/ Secretary of War, made In letters sent to
the Paris Noareile ReUue by Count Paul
/ Vasali. Advance sheets Of these letters
/ have been supplied to a number of Eng
/ fish papers, and the Counts letters give
a number of scandals against the three
gentlemen named. Some of these scan
dals are old, but many of them are new.
1t will perhaps be news to most Ameri-
can readers that Premier Gladstone is
vulnerable to gossip and especially to
gossip concerning women, but Count
Paul Nasali refers circumstantially 10 the
PTemiergas having been engaged in not
very creditable intrigue with a lovely
woman described as Laura b." who is
known TO many, and who is described in
contracted some very respectable debts in
Paris sOciety-''the only thing about her,"
says Count Nasah, (Which can be called
respectable"
SENT GLADY HER PHOTO.
The Count, in that part of his literature
in which he associates the name OF the
British Premier with that of Laura B."
declares that the beauty named had occa-
sion to send her portrait to her old adj
mirer, and Mrs. Gladstone, who jealousy
watches over the whims and fancies of
her husband, sent the portrait back.
Concerning the same subject, Count Paul
\asali says, among other things; II can
not tell you whether the relations Of the
grand old man with Mrs. Langtry have
ever really stepped beyond the bounds Of
a certain sentimentalism, but / can tell
you that he has not ceased to pay his
court to women. He has a passion for
inlet dOur, and even from his seat in Par
lament he sends notes 10 one OF his beau
tiful admirers, which, often handed to
discreet messengers under the eye of Mrs.
Gladstone, are suppressed"
ANOTHER PINK DOMINO.
Commenting upon the rumors about
Premier GladstOnes alleged relations
with Madame NoyidOf, the editor of
La N0uUele ReUUe, which is publishing
of this lady that the reports are false. He
adds, however, that he cannot affirm that
a woman of such intelligence as that pos
sessed by Madame NoyidOffis not battered
by the sentiments with which she inspired
Premier Gladstone, but he denies that she
has ever responded with even the shade
Of a Irritation.
LORD HARTINGTON'S PRETTY RULER.
Count Paul Nasali refers to LORD Hart
ingtOn's alleged long connection with a
celebrated Duchess. The Count says that
the Marquis does not attempt TO please
any other woman. 'She governs him en-
tirely," the Count says, "and is discreet
enough to respect the proprieties Of So
ciety, which, thankful for this concession,
closes its eyes"
SIR DILKE's PET ANOTHER MANS WIFE.
Equally INSCRIPTIONS is Count Vasali's
reference to Sir Charles Dixie. IAN adj
vOcate for cremation" the Count SAYS,
chad his young wife cremated, and another
woman alive makes him glow with a
gentle flame. The fair, intelligent and
distinguished friend of Sir Charles is
still not as grand a lady as the friend OF
the Marquis of Harrington, but she still
takes him away from the vulgar life. Be
ing married, she will break the ties which
enchain her to share the life which she
has conquered"
JOSEPH HANIBERLAIN SPARED.
The Count Vnsali relates no scandals
about Joseph Chamberlain, President of
the Board of Trade. 1t is rumored that
steps will be taken to suppress the publ
cation of Count Nasalis letters in Eng
