The Savannah morning news., 1901-09-08

Casino at Newport the other day he
gave an impromptu talk to group of
eager listeners on the sensations one
experiences while being Flip faped" IN
a circle through space, dependent for
ones life on an incredible and mys-
FERROUS something called centrifugal
force. Mr.. WI compares Newport with
Atlantic City quite to the detriment
of the former. He likes the
and good times generally
for all the world which prevail at At
lantic City, and wonders why Newport
has none of those dear delights; and
worse than all in his estimation-no
popular priced" hotels. No amount of
explanation can make II clear to Mr..
WI why the millionaires of-that re,
sort would look with horror upon a
hotel whose prices were within the
reach of ordinary humanity. If they
could have theiy way, there would be
no hotels at all within twenty miles of
that paradise of aristocratic cottagers.
A popular-priced hotel would ruin its
prestige as an ultra fashionable CEN
ter; and owing to the inns already
there, though unapproachable except
by people of large income. several OF
the exclusive land owners are arrang-
ing to build on new territory where

never tread. At Narragansett Pier
Mr. WI was given dance among 9TH
er festivities. Whether the staid, mid
dle-aged gentleman in his silken pet
ticoats participated, / do not know.
Perhaps he shares the views of for
mer Chinese minister, who at his first
Washington ball, gazed in astonish-
ment at the persipring crowd, hamper
ed by their gorgeous train and claw
hammer coats, and inquired why their
servants did not do the work for them.
I'm my country" said he, I'VE employ
dancers to amuse US and sit at our
ease to enjoy it."
By the way one of the most interest
ing families in Washington is that of
another Celestial, Mr.. Young Chuan,
who has a beautiful summer home at
Woodley, the suburb where the Cleve-
lands used to spend the heated term.
Mr.. Chang is very wealthy, and his
wife is a charming young American
woman. He was attached to the Chi
nese legation until his marriage. when
he decided to make this city his per-
manent residence. His children, who
closely resemble the father-all hav-
ing the Oriental slant of eye and jet
ty hair-attend the public schools and
are among the brightest pupils.
1t is announced that the Princess
Harie Ranem of Turkey will visit the
United States next month. That will
mean one of those White House din
ners at which the guest of honor is
bored almost to extinction, not being
able to understand a word, or to make
himself understood, even by his host.
On those dismal occasions everybody
procidonf dnWn-
tries to conceal his boredom by I'M
ceasing smiles. Mrs. Cleveland used to
laughingly beg for a respite, Just long
enough to change my smile"
A daughter of former Vice President
Levi P. Morton is about to marry into
the toppest notch of the ancient
French nobility. The engagement of

usual musical and linguistic accom-
plishments of the up-to-date young
lady. with a taste for athletics and all
kinds of outdoor sports. She spent
last winter in the south OF France and
the summer in England. Her fiance is
one of the best known members of the
titled families, his full name being Paul
Louis Marie Archambauld Bosom,
Count de Perogord-quite a spread for
a hotel directory. He is "a years old

he may not succeed to his fathers IT,
tie, being a second son. he is sure to
inherit or 1T wealth from his mother
