BosToN, Jan. ID Madame Margueret
Vayo, full blooded Moor with a remarka-
bic history, has just died here at the ad-
vanced age of 100 years, 9 months and 2
days. She was born May 10, 1889, in Mo
rocco, Africa. Her father was man of
repute in his country as a musician and
royal entertainer. Nine Vayo was a
woman of great talents. She came to this
country when very young and was brought
here by Captain Jesse HOLSTER of Bur-
lington, Vt, who had been a captain in the
revolutionary war and was an old gentle
man when he adopted her. In her girlhood
there was only one store in all Burlington
Here she married Louis Vayo, a French
man, and here her eleven children were
born. She had received an excellent
education at convent in Mon
treal and trained her children
to speak several languages. About
forty years ago fever deprived her of all
her hair but it grew out again and when
she died she had a full head of long white
silken hair. Four years agc she received a
shock of paralysis which caused her left
side to remain helpless. She finally sue
cumbed to la grippe. The deceased, as she
reposed upon her bier, was an impressive
picture, a relic of an age long past: frail
and refined figure, with finely cut features,
aquiline nose, high forehead, thin, shapely
lips, a skin that looked like old gold satin,
with scarcely wrinkle, the whole set in a
frame OF white, glossy hair.
Her eldest son, Louis Rayo. still lives
and has achieved fame as a world-re-
nowned imitator of birds and animals. He
returned in 1872, but up to that time he had
starred all over the civilized globe He
had in his throat $50 notes, musical and
other sounds, and was the only man of his
time who could whistle two notes at one
time
Of Madame Vayos daughters, one,
Mrs. Detapaels, was in her day famed
singer and musician She played upon a
peculiar musical instrument made of bot
ties by her father. Her stage appearance
was confined to Europe and principally
France, Italy, Spain and Russia. She
made one visit to the United States.

community as the best interests of the race
seem to dictate. In national affairs the
league should not commit itself Officially to

Great Scandal are all Anxiety to Him.
LONDON, Jan ..15.- BY cable to the New
York Euening Telegram Everybody who
has seen the Prince of Wales lately speaks
of the signs of care which have crept into
his hitherto Jolly expression. The nature
of his ailment is depression, but it would
be wrong to put down his present anxiety
to his state of health. He is worried by
the persistent rumors regarding the CON
nection of his son, Prince Albert Victor,
with the West End scandal. These rumors
have no foundation save in the inventive
imagination of those who give them cur
rency. The scandals which have touched
his own household have left their mark
upon MIN, and he is using whatever infiu
ence he possesses to secure if possible a
complete revelation of the actual facts. In
this connection it may be remarked that a
singular rumor is afioat to the effect that
stories about the young heir presumptive
were started with view to keeping the
Prince of Wales quiet. The report is that
men of rank and title who are implicated
in the Somerset scandals know that they
need expect no sympathy from the Prince,
that none of the influence of the royal fam
lily would be used to shield them from a
police investigation and judicial exposure.
Inc Hf1nce, Lhough ne mas never pretended
to be saint, never descened to the depths
OF vice reached by the effeminate creatures
who are now fleeing from the wrath to
come. Their only hope of suppressing an
investigation, so the story runs, was to
implicate a member of the Princes family
in their miSdeedS, thus bringing the great
influence of the Prince to bear upon the
side of silence and oblivion. 1t so happens,
however, that the Princes belief in his
sons innocence is stronger than hi. nat
ural repugnance to publicity, which fur
Their ventilation of the affair must entail

THE GHOST HUNTERS.
The Boston Psychic Research Society Dissolves
Itself and Gives Up the Ghost

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
BosToN, Jan. 15.-Phychic research as a
Boston fad is played out and last night the
American society, started five years ago to
hunt ghosts, formally voted itself out of
existence. The hunt for ghosts has gone on
merrily, but the ghosts have conquered.
They made it so expensive to the society
that it became a question of sparing the
pocket and letting the ghosts escape or
putting out fat round sum and catching
few attractive specimens. The want of
money, therefore, and not necessarily the
want of interest, was the basis of the reso-
luton passed to terminate the American
society and become branch Of the English
society, with the latter to pay the bills, so
an international ghost hunt under the
auspices of the English society for psychic
research may be said to have been inaug-
urated with last nights meeting in Boston.
Prof. William James, of Harvard college,
contrasted the enthusiasm of the English
psychic researches with the comparative
Indifference of the Americans, and said
they were so scientifically expert that in
their presence he felt very much of an
amateur.

SOCIETY OF CIVIL ENGINEERS.
Report on the JOhnstown Dam Sealed for the
Present-lhe Question of Standard Time.

GLOUCESTER, Mass, Jan. 15.-The an
nual meeting of the American Society of
Civil Engineers began here to-day.
In regard to the bursting of the dam at
Johnstown, the committee having the mat
ter in hand reported that their report had
been decided upon and it was agreed that
just at present it would be unwise to make
the report public because of the many
suits pending for damages.
The report is said to contain the opinions
of the highest experts. Finally, it was de-
termined upon to seal the report and see
that it be kept secret from all except mem
bers of the committee.
The report of the committee on standard
time was next taken up. In regard to the
effects of the general adoption of the
twenty-four hours rotation for railways,
the committee reported that they had re-
ceived replies from nearly six hundred
men prominent in railroad affairs. Only a
few were opposed to the adoption of the
new scheme. Three hundred and eighty
seven railroad officials favored the adOp-
ton of the new system. These officials
represented $1,000 miles of railway. Ap-
pended to the report was memorial to the
government asking that action be taken in
favor OF the twenty-four rotation.

coarse and vindictive spirit which animates
their opponents whenever reference to the
Mormons is made. The committee is com

Notwithstanding their personal feeling re-
