the Actress for a Divorce.
New York. July IA London dispatch
to the Jourpal says: Mrs. James Brown
Potter has received an extraordinary let
ter from her husbands lawyers In New
York in relation 10 his desire to secure a
divorce. wI
The letter, was written on the very day
the New York Journal published exclu-
slvely the announcement that Mr.. Potter
had an agent at work here trying to Sc
cure evidence. Seeing that Mrs. Potter
was aware Of tho proceedings of his law
yers, Mr.. Potter wrote directly to her
that a divorce was desired and endeav-
ored to bring about a mutual action. 1t
was stated in his letter that Mr.. Potter
was willing to give Mrs. Potter various
small family heirlooms which are now in
New York. including two silver candle
sticks which belonged to her grandmoth-
er. some old and valuable laces. her own
collection of photographs. and various
other small articles II she would help
him to get divorce.
His lawyers have stated. however that
Mr.. Potter would not give up the Tuxedo
residence which was presented to Mrs.
Potter by Pierre Lorillard. When that
society resort was started Mrs. Potter
took a great interest therein. inducing a
number of people to join the colony and
for her assistance LOrillard gave her Il
lot in the park. which. for appearance
sake, so Mrs. Potter says. was recorded
in Mr.. Potter's name and still so re-
mains.
The letter from Mr.. Potter's lawyers 10
in the charge of Sir George Lewis. who
has sarcasticaily answered. ''What would
you have my client do to furnish evil
dence for this divorce?'
Mrs. Potter is now giving recitais at
fashionable houses prior to her going on
a colonial tour next month. Last week
she recited at a society function given by
Miss Kussner. the celebrated American
miniature painter. which half of the titled
folk in London attended. Last night she
recited at Lord and Lady Wolvertons
musicale, at which Melba sang and the
Princes of Wales and five other members
of the royal family attended.

For man who talks so little. Admiral
Dewey achieves remarkable results. not
only in naval. but also in a diploma tic
way. Unlike the amiable and credulous
Washington authorities. he does not ex-
pect concessions and surrenders from the
enemy until he has reduced him to a con-
dition where nothing else is practicable.

leave ON his ship, the Newport. the other day. he
did not even take carriage from his hotel to the
dock but climbed on street car and paid nick

all those who were trying to make a great cere-

er captain: Come ON; let's get out of this Then
he waved his handkerchief to some good-looking
women on the dock and went into his cabin to
