A DUCHESS, But A SHOPLIFTER.
IL Cost 100000 to Get Her Out of the
Clutches Of the Paris Police.
New York World

Speculation is rife in London as to the
identity Of the English duchess who. ac-
the French government just published. has
been arrested during the past twelve
months in one of the greatest Partisan
emporiums for shoplifting. quantities of
stolen articles being discovered about her
person.
Her Grace was subjected to the indig-
and to the even still more intolerable ig-
nominy Of detention for forty-eight hours
at the depot or central police station among
female criminals of every description. She
was extricated from this disagreeable situa-
ton with great difficulty through the in
PREVENTION of Lord Dufferin, the British
ambassador. and only after the payment Of
the relief of the Paris poor.
The Paris police. with the gallantry that
belongs to their race. have had the COM
mendable consideration to abstain from
mentioning her Grace's name in their pub
lished report. But the number of English
duchesses is SMALL: There are not more
p~ersonages that their migrations are con-
sidered worthy OF mention I'm the news

But the story is not yet completed. There
are 133 mining companies which have never

LONDON, Oct. THE Graphic says this
morning of the Yale-cambridge contest at
New York on Saturday:
America has taken the conceit out OF
us in a way unequaled since Australia
beat England at the Oval in 1892, and 1t
may perhaps be a longer time before we
recover from the shock. As a first step
towards accepting defeat gracefully we
might, perhaps, cease to talk quite so
much about the differences Of climate as a
contributory cause OF our defeat When
the Yale team came over and were beaten
by Oxford it had to compete under condi-
tons Of cold and damp quite as foreign to
their experience as the heat Of New York
has been to Englishmen. We did not urge
the disadvantages in diminution of our tri-
umph, and IL is not quite game 10 enlarge

The Standard says: sThe victory was
most decisive. and In view of the
fact that except Fitzherbert, the
Cantabs performed as we'll as they
is driven to the conclusion that
oxford was somewhat lucky to
beat Yale. or decidedly unlucky in subse-
sible to shut ones eyes to the fact. that
at the present time America is peculiarly
rich in capable athletes of all
kinds, and though We may hope
that at the next important meeting the
Establishment will assert their supremacy of

The Sportsman says or the contest: IF

not leave US much to boast about 1t is
quite evident that the Cantabs have not

the great heat. Cambridge missed
