BRIDGEPORT, Conn.,, May 10.-During
the past few years there have been manv
stories about the Bridgeport Suicide club.
AS matter of fact there was never such an
organization, and the story originated in1a
joke followed by squibs in local papers. A
letter was received at the local postoffice
last night, however, which bore a paris
postmark addressed to the president of the
Suicide club of Bridgeport. For some time
no one claimed the letter, but at length a
man named Loeser went to the postoffice
and took the letter, saying he was secre.
tary of the club. The letter was from four
Frenchmen who had met with business
reverses and desired to organize a branch
OF the Suicide club in Paris so that thew
may Kill themselves in proper style. The
writer's asked for charter or something
of the sort to set them up in business in

THE QUEENS DRAWING-ROOM.
Hints to Travellers Concerning them-The
Dresses of Some of the American Ladies.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examlner Dispatch. ]
LONDON, May 10.-[By cable to the N.
Y. Sun. "A heavy, cold rain spoiled the
Queens drawing room yesterday from the
outdoor point of view. A few hundred peo-
| pie, armed with waterproofs and umbrellas,
braved the elements, but had no reward, as
all the carriages had their windows up and
| little could be seen of the fair inmates. As
regards numbers, the drawing room was a
greatsuccess, there being 300 presentations
and there was superb display of national
flowers.
The eagerness displayed by Americans
for presentation to the Queen was pheno-
menal for this time of the year. A number
OF United States citizens applied to the
lord chamberlain direct, shocking breach
OF etiquette, and were referred to the lega-
tlon, who found it necessary to issue a
special circular for the information of folks
unused to courts. Aspirants still on your
| side OF the Atlantic should take notice that
the only United States citizens who will be
received at court, if they were British SUBJ
lects, can have the felicity of bowling
to Queen Victoria at cost in dress
at once from five hundred to one thousand
dollars each, and that the presentation
must be made through the legation. A
male citizen visiting England with his
wife cannot be presented alone at draw
ing room, but may be presented at a Sec
ond rate affair known as the levee of the
minister.
Mrs. Lincoln, being in mourning, did not
attend the drawing-room. Henry White,
as charge d'affaires, and wife, acted for
them. Mrs. White wore remarkable
dress made of old cloth and gold embroid-
cred with flowers of different celors and
heliotrope velvet lined with green satin.
The dress has history. 1t was worn by
one of the ladies of the French court at the
marriage of the dauphin, afterward Louis
XVI, to Marie Antoinette, in ITO, since
which 1t has been in the hands of the orig
inal wearer's family until a week ago.
Mrs. Garrison wore a Worth gown of
pink brocade, embroidered in gold, with
a front Of crepe chiffon, court train of

with silver, and a crepe chiffon, her court

Miss Davis wore an ivory white Otto
man silk exquisitely embroidered with
pink and Topped with pink roses A train
of the same silk, which was fastened at
the shoulders, had shower of roses fall

clothed in the accustomed court dress, with

British Exhibitors and the Mckinley Ri,

LONDON, May 10.-During the session of
the house of commons to-day, Jesse Col.
lings, Liberal Unionist, asked whether the
government would take steps to encourag
British manufacturers to send an exhibit
tc the worlds fair at Chicago, if the Nc
Kinley tariff bill should become law. in
view of the fact that the bill practically
prohibits the importations of British goods
into the Uuited States
Sir James Ferguson, parliamentary sec
rotary OF the foreign Office, said the cues
ton OF official participation in the proposed
fair could only be determined after c0nsid-
alton of the advantage to British interests.
When an invitation to take part in the ex
hibition was received from the American
government, probably, he said, the manu-
facturers of Great Brltainsswo to great
extent be deferred from sending exhibits
to the fair as the tariff precluded profitehle
