SCANDAL PROMISED.

Washington Threatened with Revelations
Similar to the ISotze Anair In Berlin.
WASHINGTON, April 11.-There promises
TO be q social upheaval in Washington
which will rival the kotzo letter writing
scandal in Berlin.
The Washington trouble Is also of the
letter writing sort. A dozen of the most
prominent social leaders are already in
volved In It, and no one knows how many
moro viii yet be dragged In. There Will
probably be criminal prosecution for
blackmail unless the parties concerned
succeed in hushing it up, a feat which
now seems impossible.
Anonymous letters were recently reoeiv-
cd by nc least seven. and perhaps more,
very prominout ladies belonging to tho
"swaggcr set, 4" all writton IN moro or
less effeminate hand. Each letter limited
at a knowledge Of relations between tho
lady to whom It was addressed and a
momber of the foreign colony in Washing
ton, prince OF renowned lineage, who Is
a familiar figure in capital society. lt
went on to declare that the prince was i'm
poverishod, and that all things consider
cd, in the opinion of the anonymous
writer, liberal sum of money should be
sent 20 him to relieve his wants.
The fair recipients were so indignant
that some of them began TO talk and COM
pare notes. 1t took no great while to dis
cover that the letters were written by one
person They were placed in the hands
of a we'll known lawyer, who hunted up
the prince and demanded an explanation.
The latter expressed great surprise and in
dignation and declared that he know
nothing of tho letters and suggested pos
sible olew to the identity OF the writer.
The name he suggested was that Of
prominent young lady, to whom he had
at one time paid court. There had been
an estrangement, and she had a motive
for revenge.
On this point It was learned that the
young lady's father had stopped the
princes attentions because he was with
out means to support wife.
The anonymous letters, IL is said, show
a very intimate knowledge Of things gen
eral and particular in Washington society.

OF his own sizo and ago that wcs scizec
with wild desire 60 destroy.
".'I chilled him IN from the road, where
he was frolllcl<ing about Ike an innocent
with lot Of other lads, and took him out
to a rear barn.
- 4 don't know what It was possessed
me. but / took a surgical knife along witt
me- Itwas not the sudden impulse MOI
the maddening desire of "a father seeing
his child about TO grow up and enter G
world of sorrow and sin that led me e
the deed. No. It was not that. 1t wni
simply the craving OF the murderer within
me that inspired me TO make q subject OF
my little one
" i noticed that there was torriblo
look Of fear on the little fellows face as I
took him into tho barn, and he trembled
as / took the knife and told him TO un-
dress
% i have often thought since that it
was like tho look Of the scared rabbit laid
on the operating table, as it's pitiful eyes
search the group about him and see them
all intont only on the anticipated ncision.
'With tho utmost abandon and with
hero and there an expressed sigh OF regret,
Holmes then tolls how he went through
the operation OF mutilating his own son.
"He tells how his own flesh and blood
was made to submit 60 the barbarous blade
and there and thon was mutilatod simply
TO pacify tho cravings Of a murdoror's s
heart.
"Finished with that, Holmes folt salts.

EXETER, r. l., April 11.-Charles r.
Tefft, an unmarried farmer 30 years old,
will be examined as to his sanity. A visit
to his barn revealed tho fstt that, althOugf
1t had been we'll stocked the stalls wer,
filled with caroasses Of starved shoop, som'
of which had lain there a month, while
others recently dead had been thrown into
corners. Two COWS, wasted to death, were
still tied at the stanohions, and a drove Of
20 sheep IN the barnyard were almost deac
from starvation. The mows Of the barr
were loaded with hay and grain. and Teffi
only explained the condition of affairs by
saying the cattle refused to eat when fed.
