and they went to the hall. when they entered
the ballroom all the men sought introductions.
This was noted and several of the society
young women called tho chaperoncs and do

The order was given and tho cadet was forced
to reveal the situation to the actress and TO

PHILADELPHIA. Dec. 25.-An operation In
tracheotomy, which has restored o mans lost
SPEECH and is probably without a parallel. has
been successfully performed at the Jefferson
Hospital In this city.
Tho patient. John w. Clark, of Collinswood,
N. j., cut his throat with a carving knife
a year ago, covering the trachea. At the
Cooper Hospital. in Camden, the wound
was stitched and a silver tube inserted
below the ragged cut, through which
the patient breathed. He recovered ana
regained his normal health. but the wound
healed in such u manner rs to deprive the man
Of the power OF articulation. For a year he was
speechless. On Dec. IS he was admitted to JEFF
ferson Hospital in this city. where Dr.. w. w.
Keen, Professor OF Surgery, undertook an opera
ton to remove the impeachment to speech.
The old wound was reopened and stitched up
again. A silver breathing tube was inserted in
the trachea. this time above the wound. and the
:Rtural process of breathing acted upon the
healing power of nature in such a way as to
prevent an obstruction to speech.
The man spoke yesterday for the first time in

Herman +. Dale, al insurance broker at SO
Pine street, was found dying last night at g
o'clock in his apartments at the Gramercy, 81
Gramercy Park. He had taken carbollc acid,
and lived but a few minutes.
A call for an ambulance was sent In by tele-
phone from tho Gramorcy to Bellevue Hospital.
Hurry up, and bring your stomach pump"
said the sender Of the message.
Surgeon Davenport responded to the call. He
found Dale stretched on his bed with all of his
clothes on. He was then unconscious. The
surgeon worked over him with the stomach
pump, but was unable 10 save him. Dale died
while the effort was still being made to save his
life.
The Bellevue Hospital authorities mott.
fed the police Of the East Twenty second
vcstigate. They were told by, the ianitor Of
the apartment house that Dale had dropped
dead. The family referred them to Drs. j. r.
Conway and X. j. Parker of 1877 East Twenty
first street. DIR. Parker said:
Mr.. Herman Dale went homo this afternoon
ct 4:30 o'clock. No one else was there. When
his mother returned at s o'clock she found
aid. He had been suffering recently. with tho
toothache. He had n bottle of earboiic acid in
the house with which he had been treating 1t.
He Is presumed to have drunk some of this in
q diluted state, installing IL probably for water.
The acid must have been diluted, as his lips
were scarcely burned at all. Had he Intended
to kill himself he would not nave diluted the
acid"
Coroner, Hoeber found that the poisoning was
accidental.

ally invited himself to dinner at Marlborough
House.
Arriving In London the Prince found only the
secretary OF tho German Embassy awaiting him,
and reaching the embassy he received the
Prince Of Wales's answer to his communities
tions. This must have been q refusal to meet
him. for though the Princes primary object In
going to London was undoubtedly to SEQ the
Prince Of Wales, he did not go near Marlbor-
ouRh House. and left London next day without
having seen a member Of the Prince OF Wales's
family, though they dlned at nome that even
ing.
The Princes only subsequent engagement was
to visit the Duke OF York's Theatre. The man.
egers OF theatres invariably circulate the an.
nouncement of royal visits ms advertisements,
but on this occasion tho Prince Of Wales took an
unusual course and forbade the theatre to notify
the newspapers, and Manager Pomborton had to
destroy the customary notices at the last mo.
mont.
Prince Henry remained at the Embassy less
than an hour, and declined dinner there and
other Inequalities. although Count Hatzfcldt
had hurried to London, at brief notice, from
Eastbourne, whore he wns recuperatinE his
health, which was so dlsordered that his physi-
clans had ordered him to travel as little as
possible. After dining at a fashionable West
End cafe the imperial visitor went to the EN-
pire Variety Theatre. which helped to make Mrs.
Chant famous. The uncle and nephew were.
therefore, enjoying themselves within q few
hundred yards Of one another.
II Prince Henry's visit had been a short time
earlier he would hive seen tho ballet Wherein
the appearance Of the German flag was greeted
with bowls of hatred, and II he had crossed

he spent the remainder Of the night is known
only to himself. He and two companions ro-
turned to Portsmouth next day, and rojolned

LONDON. Dec. 25.-L1ovd's Weekly Ne,rs-
paper, in its issue tomorrow, will print a signed
statement BY Richard Miller Archer, alias
Prince. who murdered tho actor William Terriss
at the stage door Of the Adelphi Theatre on the
night of Dec. 16.
The statement was written in prison for the
defending lawyer. and 1t proves. unless Archer
IS acting a part to save his life. that he is un.
questionably mad. He accuses a number of
actors and others. whose names the paper sup
presses, OF poisoning his food and Matchmaking
and disgracing him, all for the purpose Of pre-
venting him from obtaining an engagement
Throughout the rambling statement, which.
fills six sheets of foolscap. runs a thread Of
muddled. sometimes contradictory, accusation
against Mr.. Terriss. in which the word black
mailing is constantly used to describe various
alleged Indebtedness that are 80 averse to Mr..
Terriss's known character as to carry their own
refutation.
Archer reiterates his bitter charges against
his sister for refusing to help him. and
frequently refers to the murder in such phrases
as tho following: II had no idea Of killing
Terriss the other night. but intended simply to
scratch him 30 as to get my blackmailing case
before q court of law"
Another part of the statement, incoherent and
without syntax. reads as follows: ION tho night
of the calamity. the result of which Iregret
deeply, as I should like to have him tried
to prove his innocence. Others may do
30 II they can. as I do not expect
mercy and as 1 think 1t very cowardly
of Terriss. He WAS earning ESQ a week, and me
was unable to make q pound In several weeks.
! solemnly declare ! am as good as Terriss be-
fore God and man, although I could never make
his money"
In one Of the most lucid SENTENCES Of the
clearly understood that ! should not have lifted
a hand against Terriss, only they were driving
me mad by starving, and blackmailing and try.
ing TO drive me to commit suicide"

B~ARNEGAr, N. j.. Dec. 25.-At the break Of
day this morning the life-saving crew at this
station were aroused by the patrolman at the
Lone Ladies' Island station. who brought the
news that a three-masted schooner was stranded
on the outer bar half way between the Forked
River and the Barnegat stations. and three
quarters Of a mile from shore. Although q stif
breeze was blowing, the water was not very
rough. and q surf boat was soon speeding out to
the rescue OF the distressed vessel. She proved
to be the Jennie r.. Pomlinson of Wilmington,
Del, bound from New York to Newborn, N. c.,
with a cargo of beer. On the bar the waves were
pretty heavy and the schooner was pounding so
badly that 1t was feared that her back would
break.
Capt J. P. Tomlinson of tho schooner would
not quit her when the life savers came along
side. and declared that sho could be hauled of.
His crew of seven men also wished to stick to
their ship, A kedge anchor was run out by
means of the surf boat and after two hours Of
work the schooner was pulled off the bar into
deep water. She was leaking somewhat. but
was not very much the worse for her twelve
hours on the bar. Her men cheered the life
savers AZ she sailed away.
