WHAT MRS. VANDERBILT SAVED
Appeared at Waldorf Astoria In Hat
of Gardeners Wife.
lNew Ynrk Inurni

New York Journal)
Mrs. Willie K. Vanderbilt, jr., is the
most radiantly looking and
beaming bride of the season.
The terrible shock she must have eX-
perienced when Idle Hour-her honey
moon home-was destroyed by fire, and
when, as is now known, she and her
husband had really d narrow escape
from death, has left no outward traces.
and certainly Miss Birdie Fair was
never more attractive TO look upon
than Thursday last, when, with her old
friend, Mrs Kemp-formerly Miss Baby
Neilsen-she drove up Fifth avenue and
through the park.
Mrs. Vanderbilt was charmingly
goWned in black. with a violet hat and
carried an immense bouquet Of her
favorite flowers, wood violets.
The papers have noted, with many
favorable comments, the fact that Mrs.
Vanderbilts maid was so thoughtful as
to provide her mistress with an elegant
hat, which Mrs. Vanderbilt carefully
placed upon her head before fleeing
from the burning house.
The truth is that Mrs. Vanderbilt
escaped bareheaded and very hastily
dressed, with some articles of her APP
parel distinctly missing. The only bit
of jeWelry the bride saved from the fire
WAS lHe ruby DeuudIlI anu liCChldCG
presented her by her husband on her
marriage, which was also the only
Jewel she wore on her wedding day.
This blood-red ruby is very pre-
cious to the young wife, who cherished
it with a peculiar sentiment which Ghe
has for no other gem in all her magnif-
cent collection.
The night of the fire the ruby neck
lace rested under Mrs. Vanderbilt's pill
in hDr n a IN
the danger the little bride did not for
get her precious love token from her
husband.
When Mr.. and Mrs. Vanderbilt
reached the lawn, after fleeing from the
house the gardeners wife met them.
Mrs. Vanderbilt was hatless, and the
gardeners wife, with many apologies,
begged Mrs. Vanderbilt to accept the
protection of her own new spring hat.
1t was this modish piece of millinery,
with its many quilts and feathers, that
young Mrs. Vanderbilt made her APP
pearance in when she arrived at the
Astoria, and likewise this hat that re-
ceived such unusual and complimentary
attention from reporters.
Mrs. Vanderbilt, in speaking of her
own and her husbands appearance
when they reached the Astoria the
morning of the fire, says she could
think of nothing they resembled so
much as a pair of stranded vaudeville
artists.
Mrs. Vanderbilt is herself a tiny
little woman and usually wears small
toques.
The gardeners wife, on the contrary,
is rather above the average in height
and naturally selects Il hat of impos-
ing build.
Mr.. Vanderbilt and his wife both
laughed heartily over the amazement
their unexpected appearance evoked at
the Astoria, where the servants and
the people connected with the hotel
know them both very well and are
ceuston ed 10 see them attired in the
most fashionable and irreproachable
manner.

odd SHOPPING IN QUAINT CITIES OF CUBA

To be caught shopping in the middle
of the day in Cuba is to be considered
either loco or an estrangero-crazy or
a stranger-terms Synonymous to the
cynical Cuban. During the later hours
OF the afternoon or in the evening are
the allotted times, and it is then the
ladies stroll forth to scan the counters
and criticise the latest styles in lace
mantillas.
There are no large department stores
as in America, no bewildering steppes
of articles dear to feminine hearts, no
miles of aisles, no multitude of floors,
no swift-moving elevators, in fact there
are only three shops in the whole of
Cuba containing more than one room
devoted to the sale of goods.
A recent arrival in Havana, the VIE
of a major of volunteers, sailed etst
on her second day to look for the shop
ping district. She called carriage,
but was unable to explain her needs to

AS vice president of the United
States, Carrot A. Hobart differs vastly
from any of his recent predecessors.
He is a surprise TO the politicians, for
he has made himself a distinct political
force.
He evidently realized, when he ac-
cepted the nomination, that the posi-
ton was one of great possibilities; that
it might be and should be one Of pri-
mary importance. He believed the
fathers of the republic had no notion
that the vice president should be a
figurehead and nothing more, and he
determined, when elected, to proceed
upon that line. His course was a sur
prise TO Washington from the day of
his Inauguration. The vice presidency
had long been considered a sinecure

No Grocery Stores In Cuba.
The entire absence of what we call
green grocery stores early becomes ap-
parent to the visitor. There are small
shops in which can be bought teas and
sugar and articles of that class, but
for fresh vegetables it is necessary to
apply at the market.
The latter institution really forms the
center of industry of each city. 1t is
the financial barometer and the visible
proof of the progress of all trade. From
early morning until late at night it is
occupied by the petty merchants and
the prospective customers. The lower
middle class and the bottom strata. of

JACK SMITHS BODY.
Coroner France Says He Will Re-
ceive No Straw Verdict.

SPOKANE, April 30-A special to
the Spokesman Review" from Ward
ner, Idaho, says: The killing of Jack
Smith, the rioter from Burke, who fell
yesterday, will be the subject of such
an inquest as the Occur d'Alenes have
never seen.
Il shall summon every man in the
county if necessary in order to ascer-
tain the cause of his DEATH said Coro-
ner France, decisively tonight. mo
straw verdict will be received. Y shall
continue the hearing as long as may be
necessary"
Smiths body is now lying in the
Miners Union Hall at Burke, where it
was taken by the rioters on their re-
turn there yesterday afternoon. At
first some difficulty was looked for in
holding the inquest The miners sent
down word to Dr. France, the Coroner,
that he would be expected to come up
there in order to examine into the cause
of death. They added that in case he
did not see fit to so do, one of the
local magistrates would be called upon
to conduct the examination. Dr. France
promptly telephoned to Paul Cochrane,
the Secretary of the Burke Union and
held him responsible for the safe keep
ing of the remains until the Coroner
himself could conduct the hearing.
Last night Mr.. Cochrane telephoned
back that the body would be held there
subject to the orders of DIR. France
The latter authorized a firm of Wallace
undertakers to bring the body down
from Burke and it will probably be
brought back here tomorrow.
