LADY DILKE's SORROWS.
Driven Almost Distracted by the Disgrace of
Her Famous Husband.

Driven Almost Distracted by the Disgrace of
Her Famous Husband.
Cable Special.
According to the gossips in aristocratc fenin-
inc circles, where tongues have been Industrious
ly waggng for the past week, the downfall of
Sir Charles Dixie has come with crushing effect
upon his devoted wife, who, if reports speak
truly, is in a condition bordering on dementia,
and even those who are loudest in their denun-
citation of the Baronet have word of pity for
the unfortunate woman whose life he has
biighted. Lady Dilke's matrimonial ex-
periences have been decidedly I'M
fortunate. She was bright vivac-
ious, winsome girl when she became
the wife of Mark Pattson, the rector of Lin
coin College. Pattson was book worm whose
heart and soul were in his studies. and his bride
soon found that so far as congeniality was con-
cerned, she might as well have bound herself to
block of marble. Not only this, but her hus-
band of intensely jealous disposition,
and while negecting to pay her that attention
which she had right to demand he frowned
down all the attempts of the circle in which they
moved to render her life less burdensome by max
ing her conspicuous feature at their parties and
entertainments. AS a natural consequence the
union was most unhappy one, and for some
time prior to Pattison's death the couple were
virtually separated. Years of widowhood fol-
lowed, and then came the secret courtship and
engagement with Sir Charles Dixie. Bright and
vivacious, as in her younger days, but ambitious
withal, it seemed that after all life was to have
some pleasure for her. The wife of man to
whom she was devotedly attached and between
whom and the premiership there stood only
few short years, there was abundant
ground for the development of increased
ambition. To be a leader of society,
power in politics, the presiding genius Of cabals
to be, in short, stateswoman, to have hand
in the making and unmaking of policies in the
promotion retrogression of Ministers and
understrappers of the government-these were
the visions which she saw and confded to her
intimate acquaintance She was travelling in
India when the scandal cloud burst. and imme-
diately telegraphed her belief in her lovers iu-
nocence and her intention to return home and be
married without delay. She did so. and the
wedding took place on Oct 3, last Had
she allowed the first divorce obtained
by Mr.. Crawford to end the matter,
her titled husband might have lived down the
scandal in couple of years and resumed his old
position in society and politics. But, strongly
impressed with his innocence, she insisted on
his taking the steps which resulted in the inter
vention of the Queens proctor, and which
brought cut the recent damning disclosures and
second condemnation of Sir Charles Now that
he is socially and politically ostracised, her
dreams have vanished, and the woman who

"A Number Of Men Frustrated by Heat.


Specia5 to the Indianapolis Journaa.
LAFAYETTE, July 31.-General Oglesby and
staff were escorted to the depot after the recep-
ton last night, and took the IL o'clock
train for Springfield. Governor Gray AID
staff returned to Indianapolis on the morning
train. The crowd remained on the streets all
night, and by daybreak the city was crowded by
jam of people anxious to see the encampment
and sham battle. The Gattling-gun drill was
the first thing on the programme this morning.
The only contestants were Indianapolis and At
tica and it is generally conceded that the prizo
will be awarded to the former, their drilling be-
ing far superior to that of their competitors.
After the Calling gun drill, the Rice Zouaves, of
Indianapolis, gave an exhibition drill, and were
loudly cheered. This company will be awarded
the first prize for Zouave drill, with, probably,
the Richardson Zouayes second and the Fort
Wayne Rifles third.
By o'clock this afternoon all the crowd had
left the city for the fair grounds, which were
crowded to their utmost capacity. Even the
ground laid out for the battle field was crowded,
At 2:30. skirmish lines were put out to clear the
ground, but it was over an hour before the crowd
could be forced back. At $50 the troops took
position, the confederates on the left and the
Union on the right. Col I. E. Kirk commanded
the confederate infantry, and Major Fl. A.
Woods the artillery; Col Ruck!e commanded
the Union infantry. and Captain Curtis of In
dianapolis the artillery. Skirmish lines
were placed in front. supported by ar
tilery and Calling guns, with infantry
drawn up in line in the rear. The skirmish
tactics were first gone through with, and the
general engagement followed. The engagement
was continued until after 5 o'clock, and about
200 men participated. Luckily, no accident oc-
Cured, bat the heat was so intense that many
men dropped completely Frustrated during the
engagement. Among the most serious of these
prostrations were Henry Smith, colored, of the

GETTING INTO THE SWIM.

Labouchere's Recipes for Obtaining En-
trance to London Society.
Cable Special to New York Herald.
Henry Labouchere says in to-day's Truth:
During the week all society had hard work
rushing from one ball to another The American
escadre yolante of fair DANES was in full force
Indeed, no party is now considered complete
without these ladies. The escadre is perpetualy
being recruited by Fresh arrivals. If this goes
on there will soon be more Americanesses than
English women at London fashionable fes-
tivities. In the season just come to an end the
substitution of the aristocracy of wealth for the
aristocracy of birth as entertainers of society
made further progress. The rich give parties
and thus pay their way into society. Those al
ready In 1t honor these parties with their pres
ence. Some of the entertainers are domestic,
others are exotic. The first step is to have a
large house, the second to be ready to spend
layishly in it, the third to find some one to bid
society people to the feasts. The some one
must, however be well selected Then the as
piring snob soon blooms into society person
age, and his or her house becomes the recognized
rendezvous of fashion
sour aristocracy is not difficult in these mat
ters. They want to be fed, to be given balls and
parties Whether the entertainer be ex-convct
or ex-cook matters very little to them, provided
the best of everything be provided. At the first
party of the social aspirant the ''some one" in
ciety must provide half a dozen grandes DANES,
and half a dozen society beauties as decoys. At
the second party the prince must by hook or by
crook be induced to come. and, if possible, the
princess This is easily done by getting hold of
some lady of his set Afterwards there is no
trouble. The house becomes recognized cara
vanserai for society. If there is any difficulty
in getting decoy ducks, presents judiciously
given are useful, while some one in society who
is to secure them may always be obtained by
paying the price of the article. If there are any
bitches, a house at Ascot, near Goodwood, or at
Cowes with beauty, lady or two to stay dur
ing the week. is very catching bait. If at Cowes
1t would be we'll to hire also yacht.
Il mention all this because Paris is not what
1t was. There are many wealthy Americans
who find it nowadays more difficult than here
tofore to obtain good footing there, no matter
what they spend. I can assure them that they
will not find any capital in Europe so likely to
respond to their society aspirations as London,
while their presence here will greatly benefit our
tradesrnen and be positive boon to orr pleas
ure-loving but closet listed aristocracy. They
will perhaps be little laughed at and snubbed
at the commencement of their career. but they
have only to persevere, to spend freely and to
put themselves into good hands in order to be-
come stars of the first magnitude in the socia-
armament Indeed, if the thing is properly man
aged, they may before long snub others theml
selves, and give themselves out as exclusives.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. July 3l.-Frank Fielder,
the Pittsburg and Indianapolis postal clerk, who
receipted for the missing reeistered-letter pouch
says, in an interview tonight, that he does not
now believe that the pouch will turn up, as too
long time has passed for it not to have been
found. if it had been simply miscarred. as often
had been the case with such pouches He says
it was one among many through pouches
stored in a car in which he does
no work, two other clerks being
in that car at work. If he had undertaken to
check off the pouches when receiving them at
Pittsburg, the New York and Pittsburg clerk
would have had to travel with him many miles,
as there is not enough time at Pittsburg to do it,
nor has it ever been the custom. Fielder was
appointed from here, fifteen months ago, and
was rapidly promoted. He has the reputation of
being man of studious habits; does not chew,
smoke or drink. He leaves tomorrow to make
a regular trip to Pittsburg
