CARS PEACE IDEAS.
Merely Proposes An Agreement Not
to Increase Armaments.

Washington, Feb. 19.-Hon. Ethan Allen
Hitchcock, who is to succeed Secretary
Bliss at the head of the interior depart
ment, reached Washington from New
York this evening, accompanied by Sec
rotary Bliss who has been in New York.
The new secretary VIII probably assume
the duties of the office tomorrow.
Mr.. Hitchcock, in an interview today,
corrected what he said was Il popular
wrong impression regarding the cars So
called disarmament proposal made TO the
powers of the world.
This proposition" said he is not for
q disarmament but for the calling of a
conference Tor the purpose of reaching
an agreement not TO increase ornaments.
Such was the intention OF the circular is
sued by him in August last. The car
believes that the vast amounts Of money
required 10 adapt the armament of the
nations 10 new devices, which are con-
stantly being brought forward, to bring
them up TO that of each other, could be
much better utilized for the benefit of the
people of the countries affected. The Sug-
gestiOn for a conference has met with
approval, and l think most of the nations
OF the world Will be represented at the
meeting TO be held at Ghe Hague very
soon to consider the cars proposition"
MIR. Hitchcock was averse to discussing
for publication European politics, but he
said, in answer TO questions, that the ac-
complishments OF this country in raising
an army from % o. TO $4,000 men during
the Spanish war. challenged their admira-
ton and astounded and amazed the ma
lions of the old world. 1t had increased
the admiration for the flag and. he add
ed. THE American flag never flew higher
in Europe than it flies tonight"
Russia. he said, was friendly to America
and during the late war maintained an
attitude Of strict neutrality.

FIRST SILK HAT IN LONDON.
Mr.. Hetherington Wore It Over One
Hundred Years Ago.

January 10, 1897, was the date fixed
by Mr.. Hetherington for his first ap-
pearance in public with the new hat.
He believed that in the natural course
of events he would create a sensation,
but he was not prepared for the cOmmo
ton which followed. 1t was with no
little trepidatiOn that about II O'Clock
in the forenoon Mr. Hetherington
emerged from his shop in the Strand.
His family advised against it, but he
was determined, and forth he sailed.
The Strand, as now. was one of the
busy streets of London, and Mr.. Heth-
erington had not walked ten feet be-
fore merchants and others. attracted
by the unusual sight, stopped and gazed
in wonder Mr.. Hetherington, however,
moved on, but men who had only stop
ped to look now followed after him, and
in less time than ii takes to tell il the
street was crowded with bowling
mob. Those on the outskirts of the
crowd did not know what the nature
of the trouble, if there was any, but
they helped to swell the din. How Mr..
Hetherington Jared, however, is best
told by the journals of that date. One
gazette gave this account of the re-
markable event:
John Hetherington, haberdasher. of
the Strand, was arraigned before the
lord mayor yesterday on charge or
breach of the peace and melting to
riot, and was required to give bonds in
the sum of $500. 1t was in evidence
that Mr.. Hetherington, who is well
connected, appeared upon the public
highway wearing upon his head what
he called a silk hat (Which was offered
in evidence). a tall structure, having
a shiny lrstre, and calculated to fright
en- timid people. As a matter of fact
the officers of the crown stated that
several women tainted at the unusual
sight, while children screamed, dogs
yelped and a young son of Cordwainer
Thomas, who was returning from
chambers shop, was thrown down by
the crowd which had collected and had
his right arm broken For these rea-
sons the defendant was seized by the
guards and taken before the lord may
or. In extenuation of his crime the
defendant claimed that he had not vio-
lated any law of the kingdom, but was
merely exercising a right TO appear in
headdress of his own design-a right
not denied to any Englishman."
The Times of the same date (Jan. Is,
179O, in commenting on Mr.. Hether-
ington's appearance, rather inclined TO
encourage the innovation. saying.
among other things: In these days of
enlightenment 1t must be considered an
advance in dress reform, and one which
is bound, sooner or later. to stamp its
character upon the entire community.
The new hat is designed to work a rev.
olution in headgear, and we think the
officers of the crown erred in placing
the defendant under arrest"

HELEN GOULD'S REFUSALS.
Gets So Many Proposals That She
Has Stereotyped Answer.
CNew York World.)

(NeW y Orh w Ofld.J
Helen Gould suggests in no way the
owner of millions. She goes about her
sitting room, which is the second story
front of the old house in Tarrytown,
dressed in the sort of gown which
maid or a country seamstress might
have made, her hair brushed soberly
away from her face, and sometimes
even an old fashioned white apron to
protect her dress. There are thousands
of girls in New York whose fathers
wonder where the money to buy their
clothes and matinee tickets is to come
from who lead a more elegant existence
than this simple young woman.
Miss Could has all the old fashioned
habits of thought as well as the old
fashioned virtues. Four years ago she
gave confidence to an intimate friend.
There are" she said, three things
that l want to do. l want to bring up
Frank TO be a fine man, as good man
as my father was, for l believe he was
the best man that ever lived. 1 want to
make the world understand how fine
and tender my father was; and l want
to make the name of Gould as loved in
New York as that Of Burdett-Coutts in
London"
Frank Could has just attained his
majority, and he bids fair to carry out
his sisters plans for him. He is clean

toward his sister, and he gives her the
worship for her devotion which she de-
serves.
The final idea of Helen Gould to be a
second Baroness Burdett-COutts has
been discovered by persons who live by
their wits. AS a consequence she is be-
sieged on every hand by people with
schemes. philanthropic and personal, as
well as by frank beggars. Then there
are the schemes. They range from
daily newspapers and theatrical VEN
lures TO boarding schools for young
ladies and patent incubators. On an
average of two a week come ideas for
everything from a flying machine to
thumb thimble that would triple the
Gould millions if there was only money
enough 10 patent and exploit ii.
As for the offers Of marriage, they are
legion. These letters are by no means
from illiteTate or ignorant persons in
all cases. The names signed to some
of them would surprise the world were
they published. Miss Gould has had
card engraved as daintily as an invi-
tation, which she sends in reply TO all
these Offers. 1t reads:
Miss Gould does not feel that she can
respond TO your request. Not, she hopes
you will believe, from any lack of SYM
patty or interest in the matter you
present, but because numerous and eX-
acting demands. together with the
countless applications she has received,

Carolus Duran's Arrival.
New York Letter.


Two persons of artistic eminence ar
rived from France on La Champagne
Monday. One is a painter; the other
is singer. They both come to America
with professional purposes. The paint
er is Carolus Duran, one of the most
admired of contemporary portraitists.
His best portraits have been those Of
beautiful women, made more beautiful
by his complimentary brush and invar-
iably gowned and adorned with all the
possible sumptuousnesS of fashion. Mr..
Duran comes with , is portfolio full of
commissions. His fair patrons come
from the beauX-mOndes of New York,
Chicago. Philadelphia, Boston. AS
things are, to be painted by Duran is
a certificate of social prominence. The
tenor is Alvarez. He is the leading
tenor of the Paris Grand opera, and the
furlough he has obtained is so short
that he will sing but twelve times in
this country. AS he is to join the Ellis
Opera company, whose field of action
does not include New York, there is no
certainty that this city will hear him,
but as Messrs. Grau and Ellis are con-
tinually exchanging artists ii may be
assumed that tenor who is universal
ly acknowledged to be one of the three
greatest living will not be permitted to
remain unacquainted with the Metro
politan Opera house.

LONGS TEMPERANCE ORDER.
Why He Prohibited Sale of Beer On
Warships.

Boston, Feb. 19.-In regard to the re-
cent order of the navy department pro-
hibiting the sale OF beer on ships of the
navy. Secretary Long, in an interview
today. said that the order was issued
principally for the protection of appren-
tice boys in the service.
1T is not true that any society out
side the service caused the issuing of
the order. The matter was first sug-
gested 10 the department by Captain
Folger OF the cruiser New Orleans.
After his return from the war he wrote
a letter. in which he fully explained the
evils which. in his judgment, resulted
from permitting the sale of liquor on
shipboard- This letter l referred to
number OF other captains. Among them
were Captains Parker. Higginson,
Crowninshield and Bradford. After
careful consideration of the matter,
they reported 4 majority of them IA
vOring the absolute prohibition OF beer
and liquor on board.
Then it was that the order was is
sued. The department felt that its duty
to the boys and men in the service re
quired such an order"
In conclusion, the secretary said that
the sale Of beer was a temptation, and
as many men in the navy can get along
without it unless il is placed before
them, the department thought it best
to remove this temptation.
