MAGNIFICENT TOILETS
Worn by Many People at the Queens Re-
ceptiOn i'm London.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.1
LONDON, May 13.-At the drawing room,
which was held to-day at Buckingham
Palace, two American ladies created a de-
cided sensation by reason of the magnif-
cence of their dresses. They were Mrs o. l.
Helm, the wife of Captain Helm, the military
Httache of the American Legation at Vienna,
and Mrs B. B. Stafford, of New York The
dress worn by Mrs. Helm was copied from
picture by Sir Joshua Reynolds. The petit
coat and corsage were rose-colored brocade,
embl uidered with silver, and the full court
train, slsO of rose velvet, fell from the shoul-
Gers and was edged with silver. The bouquet
carried was of pink roses, which harmoniZed'
delight;ully with the costume. Mrs. SAT-
ford dress was of satin, of curious shade,
which may be described as mauve rose. 1t
was made with tablier of pointe a liaguille
and duchesse lace, which covered the front
and sides of the gown. The corsage, also of
satin, was trimmed with the same lace and
with IN Iuve mouSaline de sole.
The train was piece of superb material
composed of silk, which was awarded O
prize at rne Paris Exposition, of white satin
and sitTeC brocade, embroidered with bou-
Quets OF pink and mauve flowers, and with q
lining OF white satin The jewels worn with
this co IStme were necklace composed of
diamonds and Opals, and in Mrs. Safford's
hair sparkled some superb brilliants.

SWEEP OF THE GRIP.
No Abatement of the Epidemic That
Is Now Raging in England.
HIGHLY ALARMING DEATH RATE.
The Disease Continues 70 Spread Despite
ALI Precautions.
A GLADSTONIAN MEMBER PASSES AWAY



LONDON, May 1S-The weather has been
almost tropical during the last three days,
but in spite of the changed climatic in
huences there has been no abatement in the
grip, except in the metropolis. The papers
are filled, almost to the length of columns,
with names of titled personages and other
well-kncwn people who arc i'll. The Medical
Officer of Health for Chesterfield reports
that the average death rate in his district
during the past fortnight has been 6S per
1000, while the usual rate is only p per 1000
and during the past week 26 people died OF
influenza. The epidemic is spreading in
Leicester. Twenty-Five members of the
police force are i'll, and 50 per cent of the
teachers in the public schools are unable to
continue their avocations.
In most OF the business houses the same
story is to be heard, namely, that assistants
and clerks are away in consequence of the
disease, which has even attacked the mem
bers of the medical profession, who are en-
gagged in attending the sick. The depress-
ing effects are becoming manifest, as they
did in New York during the epidemic, and
an example is furnished by the case OF III
lam HOWSOn, q gardener of Bradford, who
committed suicide in consequence of the
gloom the attack produced. Mr. L. L.
O'COnnor, whose illness from influenza has
been already chronicled here, is staying at
Brighton.
The death OF William Boyle Barbour,
the GladStonian member of Parliament for
Paisley, Scotland, from influenza at
Brighton this morning makes another
vacancy in the Gladstonian ranks that will
have to be at once filed by election. Mr.
Barbour went to Brighton on Saturday, and,
having apparently recovered from the at
tack, he went out driving. In the evening
he was seized with congestion OF the lungs
and grew worse until he expired at O'Clock
this morning. MI. Barbour was elected TO
MS present seat in Parliament by $50 ma
5ority.
Mr. Gladstone is still feverish, but improv-
ing. He expects to leave London for Has
warden on Saturday. 1t is understood that
Mr.. Thomas Quinn, member for Kilkenny,
has seeded from Parnell on account of the
iatters attitude with regard to the Irish
funds in Paris.
There were 14S deaths from influenza in
London last week, an excess of 81 over the
ma aximUm rate during the prevalence of the
epidemic in 1890 The High Sheriff of Ian
cashire died at Preston this morning of in
nUenZa.

GREEKS AGAINST HEBREWS.
Race Antipathies Precipitate Second Riot
at til CITY of Corfu,


at til City of Corfu.
CoRFU, May lS.-The anti-Hebrew excite
Inent which has existed here for some tins
past, anG which caused an outbreak about
April p, when the body of a child who had
been murdered was found in the Hebrew
quarter, i becoming more venomous. The
Greeks then ciai-ued that the Hebrews had
murdered a Christi IN girl for the Feast of
the Passover, AMI the Hebrews retorted by
declaring that the Greeks had murdered her
asHn excuse for TiOtin, and pluuder. Though
the body was eventually identified as that
OF the child of a prominent Hebrew, the
Greeks brOk. into the Hebrew quarter
built 4 bonfire in the square, and declared
that the Hebrews should be burned. After
number Of Hebrews had been beaten and
otherwise injured, the rioters were dispersed
by the troops.
Tho excitement caused by this incident
has never died ont and yesterday rioting
was resumed. Two Hebrews were killed and
a number injured. Troops again dispersed
the rioters and now surround the Hebre
quarter. Hebrews are forbidden to pass out
side OF the Gordon OftroOps and all stores kept
by Hebrews are closed. The prefect of Corfu
las been summoned to Athens in order to
explain the situation fully to the Govern
ment. \ detachment of troops has been
sent from Athens.

JUST LOTS OF FUN IN IT.
The First Decision in the Hog Island Cas-
Not to BE the Last

The First Decision in the Hog Island Case
Not to BE the Last.
Alderman McMasters, in the Hog Island
suit, Nesbit and Treadway VS. Ferree and
McCabe, has decided in favor of the
plaintiffs, which puts the case in shape for
certiornri. 1t is just possible that the re-
verberations of the battle will be heard for
years in the valley, as A. B. Stevenson, one
of the present possessors of the island, says
they have all the points necessary to a valid
tftle-possession, right of possession and
right of property, vide Blackstone, and will
fight all who set up claims of any kind. As
it will be nearly two years before the matter
can get through the Supreme Court, the ac-
cumulation of suits is a matter that Is likely
to make some people stand aghast.
The Forest Oil Company, too, has s., 600 or
more invested in oil operations on the island,
and is also interested in plaintiffs reading
their title clear, so there is q chance of
slathers and lots and gobs of fun.
