Among the most interesting visitors
in New York just now are the Count
and Countess Czaykowski. They are
the guests of the countess's father,
Clarence Lyman Collins. The count
mas never been in America before.
The countess was Miss Edith Col
Inns, who was the ward of DR..
Chauncey Mitchell Depew, and was
picked out by the gossips at one time
as the probable bride of the junior
senator from New York. She was
a stunning-looking girl in those days,
about the handsomest that one could
see at an evening in the Metropolitan
opera house, and all felt then that
while there was a great disparity in
their ages, DR.. Depew would be an
enviable man indeed if he were to
lead Miss Collins to the altar The
countess has lost nothing of her
beauty. She is handsomer and more
attractive in every way than when she
was a girl, and to her natural vivacity
adds the refinement and polish that
come from contact with the world.
Her husband is attached to the Turk
ish diplomatic service, and has been
lately acting as charge d'affaires of
his embassy at The Hague.

CHRISTIAN SCIENTIST FAILS TO
CURE A WOMAN.
FEELS HEAVY HAND OF LAW
She, Together With Son and Daughter
of Dead Woman, Held Responsible
by Coroners Jury Which Decides
Life Could Have Been Saved by
Proper Medical Attention.

New York, May 9.-Coroner Ban
ming and a jury Monday held an in
quest at Mount Vernon into the death
of Mrs. Charlotte M. Barguet who died
Wednesday last of dropsy, and whose
life, it was claimed, might have been
saved if she been given medical atten-
ton. The authorities claim that she
was treated by Christian scientist
methods and the result was death.
The jury handed in a verdict to the
effect that Mrs. Barguet died from
acute dropsy, which could have been
relieved, if not cured, and her life
would have been prolonged. The
jurors held that Mrs. Clarence Fowler,
the Christian scientist who treated the
woman, Liston Garguet, her son, and
her daughter were guilty Of negli-
gence, and recommended that the
coroner take proper steps to punish
them. The coroner accepted the YER
dict and immediately announced that he
was sitting as committing magistrate
and directed the constables present to
arrest and bring before him the three
persons held responsible by the jury.
The coroner then announced that he
would hold Liston Barguet, Jr., and
Mrs. Fowler to await the action Of the
grand jury under $1,000 bonds each.

HONORED BY LEO.
New York Woman Receives n Deco
ration From the Pope.

New York, March 10.-For the first time
in many years a New York woman has
been decorated by the Pope The recipient
of this great honor-one of the highest
that can come TO a good Roman Catholic
is the Countess di CesnoIa, wife of Gen.
l. p di Cesnola, Director of the Metro
politan Museum OF Art in Central Park,
and the symbol of it is an exquisite cameo
mounted in gold which the Countess will
wear around her neck on a slender golden
chain.
No one was more surprised than Nine.
di Cesnola herself at the honor His Holi-
ness chose to confer on her. Had she been
of Italian birth it might have been ex-
peected; but, though she bears a title,
Nine. di Cesnola is of American birth and
lineage, the daughter of Capt Samuel
Chester Reid, United States Navy. the he
ro of Fayal, and the officer who designed
the Stars and Stripes as they exist by
law today. For this he received the
thanks of Congress.
The decoration was presented to Nine.
di Cesnola q few days ago by Nine. Cabri-
nj, Mother Superior of the Salesian Order
in this city. TO which Nine. di Cesnoia has
given her time and attention for years.
Nine Cabrini received it from the hands
of His Holiness himself. and was charged
to deliver it only into the hands of her
for whom it was intended. This was done
and yesterday Nine di Cesnola wore her
new decoration for the first time.
This token of the regard of Leo XIII
is a cameo of blood-red, on which is en-
graved a splendid likeness of the Fope in
white relief. 1t is about three inches long
and two inches wide, oval in SHAPE. This
is set in a delicately chased frame of god.
1t is all the patient work of the engrayer
retained in the Vatican to make such
work for His Holiness alone.
Tell my good child, said the Pope in
confiding his gift to Nine. Cabrini, that
this is the best likeness of me ever exc
cuted, and say to her that it is for her
long years of charity and piety among my
people in far away New York"
With the decoration came a letter from
Nine. Cabriri telling why Nine di Ces-
nola had been picked out for the honor.
1t told in choice phrased Italian how His
Holiness had appreciated Nine. CesnoIa' $
labors for the Italian poor in New York.
1t was she who founded the Italian Or
phan Asylum at Manresa, on the Hudson,
opposite Hyde Park. as well as the Christ
ophoro Colombo Hospital in East Twenti-
eth Street, in charge of the Salesian Mis-
sionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart and
the Salesian Convent in Fourteenth Street
Gen. di Cesnola too has been deco
rated recently. His is the golden insig-
mia of the Order of Maurizio, and it comes
from the hands of King Humbert of Italy
himself. This order carries with it mag
nificently Illuminated certificate on vellum
which makes Gen. di Cesnola a chevaIier
This order is reserved by the King for
Italians who have advanced learning
art, science, or literature in foreign lands.

No one can explain the origin of the
fire There was nothing. Mr.. kleinle said,
that should have caused fire where the
flames We're first discovered. The wash
department was located there-the depart
meut in which the bristles used in making
brushes were washed.
For about two hours the fremen fought
the blaze until it was gotten under control
The company employed about 115 people
men. women, boys. and girls. These will
for time, be thrown out of employment.
Nothing can be done in the present build
ing. which has been occupied by the firm
for several years, until the damage is re-

CUP DEFENDERS NAME.
Choice Said to Lie Between ..Golden n
Rod and Eagle"

Rod and Eagle"
Bristol. Il. l. March 1C--It is very like
ly that Golden Rod will be the name
of the defender Of the Americas Cup now
50 secretly building at the Herreshoff yards
in this town. Sir Thomas Upton, fine
sportsman. will not object to thrashing
by Golden Rod. His yacht Shamrock
will bear the name of the national plant
of his native land. Against the sham
rock" in all probability, will rare the
Golden Rod the American national
flower. if any can be called national.
AT any rate. the choice of a name for
the new defender now lies between two,
Golden Rod" and Eagle" The name
Eagle" is OF course emblematic of Amer
lean nationality. But what would become
Of a poor Shamrock" if a mighty Eagle
should swoop down on it and sail away
with it, II would seem more hospitable,
more in the spirit of fair play. TO match
Sir Thomas Liptons Irish Shamrock"
with the American Golden Rod'-and
then beat him
Everyone has been anxious TO know the
new yacht model, construction, and what
her name will be. Until now not a hint
has been given of Mr.. Iselins ideas as TO
her name. He has been considering many
names: some he has chosen, some his
friends have suggested to him. But he said
only that the yachts name would be final
ly chosen when j. Pierpont Morgan re-
turned from Europe. 1t is not improbable
that Mrs. Iselin's influence has given the
preference to Golden Rod. She will sail
with her husband on the new defender just
as sne did on Defender.
Such name for a boat matched against
Shamrock seems to be the happy thought
of clever woman. Besides, Golden Rod,
has been rarely used in naming yachts, and
is therefore as fresh as fragrant. The on
ly large yacht of the name in Eastern wa
ters has been the steam yacht formerly
owned by Commodore Archibald Mott. of
the American Yacht Club, New York,
which was known originally as Meteor.
