NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-Clarence Eugene
Brown, son of Vice Commodore Edward II.
Brown. of the New York Yacht Club, was
arrested yesterday in a suit brought by
Mrs. Eliza Buchanan, the mother of Miss
Fannie Ward. lately of the Casino COM
pany, charging him with having deprived
her CMrs. Buchanan of the services of her
infant daughter, Miss Ward, and laying
the damages at $4,000. The order for Mr..
Browns arrest was issued by Judge Nc
Adam. of the Superior Court. and the
young. man was arraigned before that
maglstrate. He was Immediately released.
$500 bail being furnished by a member of
his fathers business firm.
The story OF Browns relations with the
young actress was told in the newspapers
about a month ago and caused much com
ment, especially in club circles, for both
Clarence and his father are ~well-known
club men and have a wide circle of social
acquaintance. After the young man and
the actress separated he confessed the en-
tanglement to his father, who at once
bundled him off to California. The actress
and her mother then applied to Mr.. Brown
for his sons address, Miss Ward claiming
to be his wife in everything but name.

REVIVAL OF SOCIETY

= Custom of Getting Acquainted I'm
Mexico Compared with American
Custom-Personal Notes.

The customs OF countries were under dis
cusslon one evening recently at the home
of a young couple who lived a part of their
married years in Mexico. This couple came
to this city about three years ago. and so
FAR know comparatively few people. Dur
ing the talk the husband said: 'Tt is quite
different In Mexico. Like so many OF the
foreign countries. many things are done in
q manner exactly opposite to what is done
In the United States. There 1t is the Gus
tom for the stranger to 60 and call on any
resident, and not wait for any one to call
on him or her. If the resident is pleased
with the person the call will be returned,
but the newcomer has the opportunity of
entering any desired society.
"The effort that so many people make in
this country to get in what is termed the
social circle would not nave to be made in
Mexico. Here strangers may wait weeks
and often years before receiving calls from
the set Of people with whom they would
like to associate. 1t is another odd thing
that persons who are accustomed to the
best their home city affords take an in
ferior place in another city, and people
who go In less desirable circles In one town
will be at the top % the list in another.
In some Ways the Mexican custom is desir-
able, but on the other a IL must be
rather difficult for the old resident to have
TO receive calls from any one who chooses

MARRYING TITLES.

The Princess Colonna, flying from
France by night in order to save her
children from their brutal and dissolute
father, is not an edifying spectacle for
Americans, and especially American
heiresses, to contemplate. The princess
is one of the wealthiest women in the
world. She is the daughter Of John W.
Mackay. the bonanza king, and will in
herit from eighty to hundred millio n
dollars. She was carefully nurtured and
we'll educated, and was generally spoken
of fewyears ago as young lady OF ID
telligence and refinement. But she was
not content to marry plain American
citizen. She sought a foreign title in
Europe, and.as there are plenty of them
for sale, she found no difficulty in Sc
curing the hand of Prince Co
lonna. He was bankrupt, as most
European princes are, in both
moral character aud financial re-
sources. From the first he treated
her scandalously. Before marriage he
insisted upon d liberal settlement"
and succeeded in getting an allowance
of nearly million dollars. This was

he demanded more. His wife yielded
large sums from her private purse, but
yet he clamored for more When she

Maniac in Court.
CHICAGO, Feb. 16.-Prendergast, the
assassin, created stir in Judge Bren-
tano's court room today during the
hearing of the arguments for new
trial. The prisoner had taken his seat

who conducted the prosecution. entered
the court room Prendergast apparently

Judge Brentano, who Is presiding in

letter threatening his life. Haff a
dozen armed officers were in court today
to guard the judge. The letter warned
the court that unless he were lenient
with Preadergast he would be killed.

The one thought of the women of
those days was health. for they knew
that was the first requisite to physical
beauty. We publish the letter of Miss
Louise Stratton, of GIT Line ST., Cam

lady. but has been sickly and run
down. She realized that if she would
retain the graceful charms which nature
had given her, she must regain her
health. Here is her own brief account
of her experience.

A TEST QUESTION.

TO Illegal Acts?

was recalled, and refused, as he did
yesterday, to disclose the secrets of his
company's business. District Attorney
Milchrist will endeaver to have
the officials held for contempt of
court il they persist In their
refusal to answer questions. The
federal grand jury filed into Judge
Gresscup'S court this afternoon and re-
ported that two of the railroad officials
who were summoned to give testimony
as to rate cutting had refused to answer
the questions put to them. The court
entered rule requiring the witnesses
complained or, VINO are General Freight
Agent James, of the Lake Shore road,
and General Agent Gordon Mcleod, of
the Merchants Dispatch, to show cause
on Monday morning at 10 O'Clock why
they should not answer the questions.
The issue thus raised will test the valid
ity of the interstate commerce law as
amended by congress a. year ago.
The railroad men and officers
of the government have agreed
to take the question to the
supreme court as to whether the pres
ent law gives absolute immunity to rail-
road officials who testify to Illegal acts
in which they or their companies had a
share. The question is Of vital import
ance to the interstate commerce COM
mission, because If the supreme court
decides that the amended law is not as
broad as the constitutional provision
which makes it impossible to compel
any man to testify against himself, the
Interstate commission will be helpless
i'll the future. and will have no power to
probe lilo rate-cutting secrets.

After the explosion of the bomb l
crawled oway a little further, knowing
that could be of no assistance to the
other trainmen, being unarmed, and
fearing that l might be compelled to

two robbers very distinctly as they

small man. the first having a gray over
coat and the other dark clothes. Tney
had handkerchief around their necks,
which were lifted up over their noses to
mask their features. The bomb that
was thrown against the door broke a
rev panels and some windows, and
stunned the express messenger. Be-
yond that no damage was done. The
robbers made the express messenger
carry the money they secured down
from the car toward their two-horse
team, about $50 yards away. But when
within thirty yards of the wagon they
took the money and made him turn
back. There were several bags of

WORLDS FAIR FIRES.

Nearly all of the Chicago papers hint
that the recent attempts to burn the
worlds fair buildings have been the re-
suit of a plot in which the managers of
the exposition are concerned. No direct
charge of incendiariSm is laid at their
door, but 1t is stated that if ali the build
ings could be destroyed by fre-aeci-
dentally, of course II the commission
would be saved large expenditure for
their removal. which must be completed
at latest by the 1st Of July. The plan of
burning them was soma time ago con-
SIdered, but the undertaking was re-
garded as too hazardous, and there were
some legal obstacles to such course,
and it was consequently abandoned.
But as time has passed the difficulties
in the way Of removing tine struct-
ures have increased. The staff with
which the buildings are coated is abso.
lutely worthless, and it will cost a large
amount to cart it away. The woodwork
is also of little value. All that can be
saved in serviceable form is tn e glass
and iron work, and even these will
scarcely pay the cost Of removal. The
glass, at any rate, could not be utilized
in any other structure, while the iron
will have to be rolled over again before
it can be used. 1t has no value save as
scrap iron. This would not be injured
by Scorching. and the destruction of
the surrounding work would greatly
facilitate the labor Of transporting it to
the rolling mills.
II it IS true, as the local papers hint,
that systematic attempt is being made
to destroy the buildings in order to
lessen the cost Of removing the debris,
grave responsibility rests upon the
iustigators. At each of the two large
fires of recent occurrence number of
firemen were badly injured, and will be
disabled for life. Many of the foreign
exhibits, which had been boxed prepara-
tory to shipment, were badly damaged,
and, there being no insurance, the loss to
the owners was considerable. Besides, it
IS unlawful to burn building under any
circumstances, and those who commit
the act, even without attempt at con-
cealment and for proper purpose, are
liable to severe punt Shment. Only in
case of necessity. such as building
being breeding place of noxious
contagious or infectious disc ase, is such
an eXpedient ever tolerated, and then
the destruction must take place under
the supervision Of the health depart
ment and under conditions that Will
prevent injury to surrounding prop
erty. Motives of economy are not a
sufficient justification for setting a
building on fire.
1t is to be hoped that an injustice is
done to the officers of the fair by these
insinuations. They are gentlemen of
we'll known character, and it seems i'm
possible that they should stoop to such
vandalism. The public will prefer to
believe that the fires have been the
work of reckless or vengefui tramps
rather than of men who have enjoyed
so large share of the public conf
dence.

CITY OF PARIS Disabled.

QUEENSTOWN, Feb. I6.-The steam
ship Adriatlc. of the White Star line,
which left New York on February I,

Some details of the disaster to the

might be repaired. and from there to

could be thoroughly repaired. The
steamship Paris is now safe at anchor
here, and hot one of the passengers
has requested to go ashore. All
the boats IN the harbor seemed to
have gathered around the disabled
steamship. and survey has been made
of the damage done 10 her rudder. 1t is
now stated that the passengers of the
Paris will proceed to New York by the
Berlin, of the same line. which Will call
here Sunday, but it Is expected that the
postoffice authorities will insist upon
the mails of the Paris being forwarded
by the Aurania, OF the Cunard line.
The injured rudder was not lost and
still hangs to the stern of the Paris.
The American line officials have offered
the passengers of the Paris passage
on the Berlin, which will touch here

conduct of the officers of the Paris, who
did everything possible TO reasSure them

in Greenwich park, through. it is be-
lieved. stumbling and falling upon
bottle of explosive material which he
carried i'll his pocket, is said to have
come from Paris TO London in 1881, and
to have worked here with his brother, a
small master tailor. Bourdin, according
to the police, visited all the anarchist
clubs of this city, and became iE:bued
with their opinions and methods. In
1891 Bourdin Is said TO have gone to the
United States, and to have been em-
ployed by ladies' tailoring establish
ment in Detroit. directed by Hebrew
named Weilgard. According to the police
BourdIn, after leaving Detroit, re-
turned to Paris. and from there came to
this city. He is said to have been a
trusted organizer of the anarchists. and
the police here expressed the opinion
that B0urdln, when he met his death,
was on his was way through Greenwich
park TO the famous Greenwich obserYa-
! tory, with the intention of blowing up
that institution. Bourdin has been
watched by the police for some time
past, as il was believed he was con-
templatipg some outrageous deed. His
sister-ln-law says Bourdin called on her
yesterday, and when she playfully
pushed him, he exclaimed: For God S
sake, don't push me-"
From this it is believed that Bourdin
must have had the explosive in his
pocket when he called upon his sister.
The dead anarchist, it is aseertained,
was frequent speaker at the debates
of the Autonomlc club, though his at
tendance at that club lately has been
less frequent than before.

Rio DE JANEIRo. Feb. 16.-Yellow
fever is on the increase here. There
were sixty deaths from that disease yes
terday, in addition to fifteen deaths
from other fevers. The captain of an
Austrian war ship in these waters died
today. and there are number of other
cases on board the same ship. A Portu-
guese war ship here is also infected with
yellow fever. and the situation is grow
ing serious, so far as foreigners are con-

communicate with the shore by means
OF hired tug, and the greatest precau-
tionS are observed ON board all the
American ships.
Admiral Benham has conferred with
the commanders of the American yes
sells, and nothing will be left undone
which can lead to preserving the health
of the American sailors.
The British war ship Racer also has
some cases of fever on board, and the
merchant vessels at this port are report

crews sick under suspicious circum-
stances,
