INVADED BY THE GRIP.
BRITAINS ARISToCRATIC RANKS
Trimmed BY THE MALADY.

Mourning the Prominent Color Now in All
Fashionable Quarters-Queen Natalie
Enjoying Life in London-Her Beauty a
Pigment of the Imagination.
rBY DUSLAP's CABLE coMPANY.l
LONDON, June 5.-The ravages made by
the grip in the ranks of the aristocracy are
apparent whenever one goes into the fash
ionable quarters. The result of numerous
deaths which have occurred in the higher
social circles is to be seen in the extraordi-
nary amount of mourning dresses in varying
degrees of intensity in the park and the
other haunts the good people frequent.
Even members of the royal family have put
on the signs of grief, and the consequence is
there was predominance of black, white
and gray dresses at the state ball a couple
of days ago. This made the scene far less
brilliant in its coloring than usual, for a
function of this sort always brings out a
variety and profusion in color which one
would seek for in vain in other places, ex-
cept, perhaps, on an occasion of almost SIM
liar Importance among the upper ten.
AT the one in question the Princess OF
Wales, who is in mourning, appeared In
black, and at the four-in-hand meet during
the day she wore black tulle dress, which
was striped with narrow black ribbon, and
its somberness was relieved only by the dia-
mond ornaments she had put on. Her
daughters, the young princesses, wore dainty,
girlish gowns of white satin and white silk
muslin. 1t is really remarkable how the
Princess has managed to transform her two
daughters from being absolutely dowdy into
really well-dressed damsels. Their cos
tunes now are taken as models to be fol-
lowed by the younger branches of the aris-
tocratic houses, while a couple or three years
ago they were also used as examples, but
then of what to avoid
Another royalty about whom gossips are
busy Just at the moment is Queen Natalie.
She has been driving at Piccadilly, and it
is reported that she is stopping at the
Savoy Hotel. 1t has been customary to
represent this modern Mary Stuart as the
most beautiful woman in Europe, possibly
in order to carry out the resemblance be-
tween her and the unfortunate Queen,
whose beauty, like that of Helen of Troy,
has become a recognized standard by which
the claim of loveliness may be judged.
Perhaps in the case of Natalie the wish to
make her appear beautiful has been the
father to the thought that she is, and beauty
in a woman; against whom are the fates of
war, is the most potent element in melting
a romantic feeling in her behalf.
Sooth to say, Natalie is big, black
browed, red-checked dame, with large black
eyes, and her general appearance is so far
from that of the woman to whom she has
been likened that she is decidedly coarse.

wire-pulling in progress for the position of
French Art Commissioner for the Chicago
Worlds Fair. One of the new candidates
is Mr.. Georges de Dramard, painter of
considerable merit, who holds somewhat
similar position in connection with the
French Exhibition at Moscow. Several of
the American artists at Paris are backing
NJ. de Dramard. Another candidate, NJ.
Roger Balldeu, one. ofthe fine art inspectors,
saws that if he is the Governments choice
the art exhibit of France at Chicago will be
one of the most remarkable ever sent abroad.
However, leading American artists here
say that unless Chicago guarantees the very
best care for the safety of the pictures and
statuary, few artists will exhibit, as many
of the pictures which they sent to Boston,
New Orleans, Rio Janeiro and other trans
Atlantic fairs of recent years were lost and
have never been heard from to this day.

DUNCAN's AWFUL CRIME.
WITNESSES GIVE DAMAGING TESTI-
MoNY AGAINST TIE AMERICAN

Who Tried to Murder His Wife in Wales
The Weapon, a Rough Piece of Slate,
Produced in Court-Duncan's Confession
to the Attending Physician.
LONDON, June 5.-Richard Coolidge Dun
can, of Washington, who attempted to muir
der His wife May 10 in North Wales, and
who was remanded Saturday, was to-day
taken into court at Carnavon for examina-
ton.
A quarryman named Evans, who is the
principal witness against Duncan, testified
that he saw the prisoner STOPPING over the
PROSTATE form of his wife and holding
a huge stone in his hand. Mrs. Dun
can was lying in a crevice between
two rocks, and her head, which was ter
ribly battered, rested in the extreme angle.
Soon after Evans saw him, Duncan, touch
his wife's face with handkerchief Mrs.
Duncan, the witness said, was bleeding at
the mouth and from one of her ears. She
appeared to be dead. So soon as Duncan
saw Evans he (Duncan) shouted in broken
Welsh: "My wife is i'll Fetch doctor.
My wife has fallen down the rocks"
Evans then assisted Duncan to raise the
form of his wife and wiped the blood from
her mouth. Fearing that she would choke,
Duncan then pointed to the stone, covered
with hair and blood, and said something
about 'fedge of the rock, " and ''wife falling
over" and again asked the witness to fetch
DOCTOR
The stone found near the prisoner, with
which the crime is supposed to have been
committed, was produced in court. 1t is a
huge wedge of slate, and was stained with
blood, and had few golden hairs clinging
to it.
DR.. Jones, who attended Mrs. Duncan,
swore that when he expressed doubts OF
Duncans story, Duncan took the witness
aside and said, 81 did it myself with the
stone you have SEEN God forgive me. 1
didn't know what L was doing. Three
months ago 1 was worth $4,000 and now L
have lost all 1 saw nothing before me but
poverty for myself and wife.
Mrs. Duncan is still in very critical
condition. The prisoner is under guard and
broken down.

AN ENGLIsHMAN'S BLIND LUCE.
He Couldn't Speak French, but He Stumbled
On a Winning of 81 400 Francs.

tBY pUNLAP's CABLE CoMPANY.1
LONDON, June 5-An amusing incident
is reported from Paris as having occurred at
the race meeting at Auteuil yesterday.
An Englishman. whose French must have
been that of the public schools, went to the
Paris Mutual booth and asked for 900 francs
worth of tickets of Papillon Quartre. His
pronunciation, however, being what is re-
corded above was not sufficiently under
stood by the clerk in charge. He under
stood that the individual wanted to back the
horse whose name was number four on the
list, as he could make out a resemblance
between the word quatre, meaning four, as
the Englishman pronounced it and the
sound he, in common with other Parisians,
give it. Acting, therefore. in accordance
with the idea, the clerk gave the English
man 90 10-franc tickets on Jeanne la Folle,
smiling as he did so, for Jeanne, although
fourth on the list, was perhaps the rankest
outsider which had been entered.
But with that blind luck, which often
causes man to stumble on something good,
it happened that this error was the cause of
the greatest good fortune that could have
happened to the Englishman La Folle, to
the surprise of everybody, and to the sur
prise and horror of the clerk, actually won
the race, and the Englishman discovered the
clerks mistake afterward when, looking at
his ticket, he found that he had won s., 400
francs

Are Liable TO Split the AIcCarthyite Party
and Create More Factions.
rBY DUNLAP's CABLE CoMPANY.1
LONDON, June 5.--There is anything but
harmony in the camp of the McCarthyites.
The present feeling of discord is due to the
series of articles now appearing in the col
umns of the recognized organ of the party,
which imputes fraud and theft to Mr.. Parneil.
They are from the pen of Mr. Healy and
they are strongly disapprOved of by the
leading members of the faction. including
Mr. Mccarthy himself and Mr. Sexton.
The unfortunate part of the affair is that
members are not strong enough to drum Mr.
Healy out Of the ranks, as it is evident they
would like to, for they have made no secret
of their disgust at this Objectionable process
of washing the party's dirty linen in pub
lie.
In fact, if this sort of thing goes on, sooner
or later there must be an open rupture and
with more internal dissensions, there is no
knowing into how many different elements
the once united Irish party may be re-
solved. These articles have produced this
definite feeling in the minds of many people
who are not uufriendly to the erstwhile
leader The party, that be ought to take

mcnts are untrue, he could wndoubtedly get

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.1
PHILADELPHIA, June 5.-William Peter
man is the first of the oleomargarine sellers
who has gone to Jail for his offense. His
case was called in the Court of Quar-
ter Sessions to-day, and Lawyer
Kaufman, Of the Dairymen's National Pro-
tective Association, called the attention OF
the court to the fact that the defendant, on
December 1s, 1890, had pleaded guilty to
selling oleomargarine; that at that time the
court had suspended sentence in that
case with the distinct understanding
that the defendant was to pay the sum of
500 in civil proceeding against him for
the same offense, and that he should there
after stop selling oleomargarine. Mr.
Kaufman said further that the defendant
did pay the 500, but did not stop selling
the bogus article. He had proof, he said,
that Peterman had On number of occasions
since that time sofN the stuff.
He said he thought the man should be
made an example of for his defiance of the
law and for the benefit of those who think
they can break it with impunity. Judge
Finletter then sentenced Peterman to pay
the costs of prosecution and undergo an i'm
prisonment of 20 days.

of Gold as Was Expected.
tBY DUNLAP's CABLE CoMPANY.l
LONDON, June "a curious affair, with
a serious ending, happened to butcher in
the Central Market in Paris yesterday. The
keeper of a restaurant in the Ternes quarter
bought a ten-pound leg of mutton from him,
and to his surprise about an hour afterward
the butcher called and asked tc be al
lowed to take the joint back again.
The restaurant keeper wondered
what the reason was and refused His
wonder increased when the butcher offered
him 100 francs for the joint, and on his re-
fusing the man doubled his offer. Think
ing there must be some reason for this ab-
surd hberality, mine host held off, and the
butcher made final bid of 800 francs.
This convinced the hotel proprietor that
the leg must be stuffed with something
valuable, perhaps with gold, as the butcher
became very excited, so he refused. When
the joint was cooked and brought to the
table the host, as he put his knife in, struck
something hard, and expecting a rich find,
he removed slice after slice until he came to
an iron weight, which turned the scale at
two pounds. The irate proprietor went to
the market, found the butcher, had him ar
rested, and, to add insult to injury, gave
him a thorough kicking.
