PATHETICLIFE STORY
THE DISAPPOINTING CAREER
OF FRANCES RAYMOND.
Actress and Writer Ha, Haa Hard
Road to Travsl-Courted Death and
the Curtain Fell on Scene of
Suicide.

The final chapter of the pathetic life
story of Frances Raymond, a woman
of rare beauty and undoubted ability
who has sought to make name for
herself on the stage and in literature
and who. after bright prospects in both
fields, had failed, was written last
week when she successfully courted
death. Mrs. Raymond's handsomely
attired body was found Sunday in her
fashionable apartments in New York
after life had been extinct several
hours as a result of asphyxiation.
Frances Raymond was for brief
time in her life of 80 years an actress.
Her stage career closed in 1894 after
she had attained small degree of sue
cess and she then devoted her talents
to literature. She was possessed of an
active, brilliant mind and after three
years placed in the hands of publish
ers a novel which many critics praised
highly. 1t did not take with the read
ing public, however, and her efforts
went for naught. Her failure to achieve
fame on the stage or as a writer was
most depressing to Mrs. Raymond and
she became melancholy and morose
The final disappointment which blast
ed all her hopes was the unhappy ter
mination of a love affair. A young
physician who had been devoted to
her at the time of her deepest tribula-
ton and whom Mrs. Raymond loved
deeply deserted her and then she ap-
parently lost all interest in worldly
affairs and determined upon death as
release from her trials.
Mrs. Raymond had been married and
divorced. Her name before she ap-
peared upon the stage was Mrs. M.
Schaffer, she assuming a portion Of
the name of Franklin Raymond Wal

the Queen then commenced to chat in
the most friendly way with the little
group.
The King remembered meeting pre-
viOusly William Butler Duncan and
James w. Pinchot, much to their own
astonishment. This little reminis-
cence over, the royal party indulged in
small talk regarding the weather, the
King pointing out the beauties of
WindsOr's chestnut trees, referring to
the need the country had for rain, and
SO forth. His majesty regretted that
the state apartments were so upset
as to be invisible. He apparently
avoided business and politics, beyond
reiterating how glad he was to meet
so many well known men from Amer
lea.
When the audience was over the
delegates partook of small feast and
repaSsed the King and Queen, who
were having tea in the garden. The
King stood up, took Off his hat and
bowed his farewell. The delegates
then returned to London.

spent pleasant afternoon. One of
the most pleasant features was the un-
expected presence of the Queen. Both
she and the King We're extremely affa-
BILE. l regard the occasion as one that
will greatly strengthen the relations
between the two Countries"
All the delegates said practically the
same thing.
George G. Ward said:

scarcely believe she was the Queen,

to be in splendid health, and they GER

MRS. M'KINLEY STILL
IN GREAT DANGER

Washington, June doctors Rixey

very long. DIR. RiNey was at the man

Mrs. Mckinley was resting comforta-
bly,, as she had done all afternoon.
Mrs. Mckinley continues very weak
Her condition is not greatly changed
from that OF yesterday, but each day
that elapses without gain in strength
lessons her power of recuperation. The
complaint which came near ending her
life in San Francisco is still present.
1t Is in II slightly less aggravated form,
but gives the physicians and the Pres

lirs. Mckinley has shown remarka-
BILE vitality, but her illness has so re-
duced her strength as to leave her very
feeble indeed. 1t Is feared that unless
a change for the better soon manifests
itself her strength may become so near
exhausted as to leave her without raj

We're the delegates of the New York
Chamber of Commerce. The visit was
arranged by the London Chamber of
Commerce, the president of which,

BILE curiosity to see what manner of
men these multi-millionaires might be,
especially Messrs. Morgan and Carne-
gle. AS regards the latter, the King
was disappointed, for Mr.. Carnegie
was unable to be present. From the
King down all the officials concentrat-
ed their attention on Mr.. Morgan.
Their curiosity was not unmiXed with
awe.
One of the high officers of the house
hold confessed that an inspection of
the list Of visitors made them tremble
lest Mr.. Morgan or one of the other
millionaires should take fancy to
Windsor and buy it.
Apart from this personal point of
view, Lord Pelham Clinton, master of
the household, said the King regarded
the presence in England of such rep
resentative body of American business
men as highly significant of the close
and friendly relations existing between
the two countries, and in furtherance
of that feeling he was delighted to
welcome them to his castle and make
their acquaintance.
After an inspection of the grounds,
the delegates were taken to the east
terrace, where they were received by
the King. They We're surprised to find
that the Queen was also present, for
her appearance was quite unexpected.

OLD LONDON WINE HOUSES.
They Have Long Been Conspicuous In
the English Metropolis.

the English Metropolis.
The phrase wines from the wood"
is said to have been coined by the gen.
tleman who, forgotten himself. is per-
petuated at Shorts in the Strand.
This famous wine house, founded in
1726, already hears the thunder of the
county councils pickax on its flank
and in about two monlns, we learn, it
Will disappear to the eye. But the cell
lars of Shorts" are another matter
These extend across the Strand to the
Somerset house and to a considerable
distance in other directions. In their
labyrinths an eighteenth century en-
ploye is said to have lost his way and
never to have been seen again. And
the tale goes that once a year, in April,
mysterious bells ring below and
moaning sound wanders among the
immemorial bins. A new Shorts"
will. of course, replace the old. and
meanwhile attention will doubtless be
drawn to the career of the original Mr.
Short He seems to have been a char
acter as well as a good man of busa-
ness. He would not serve his custom
ers with more than one glass of wine
at a visit and attempts to obtain
second glass by slipping out at one
door and entering in masquerade by
another are said to have been not
worth making. Mr.. Short died rich
and his successors have borne other
names. But shorts" is Shorts"
still, and even Somerset house will
hardly seem the same until 1t is again
faced by its monosyllabic neighbor.
Among the host of public houses about
to be demolished for the Strand i'm
provement is one in Catherine street
which bears the unique sign of the
Two Spies. OF course, 1t is a Bible
sign and refers to the Israelites' inva-
sion Of the promised land. To judge
from such signs and the alliance be-
tween beer and Bible would seem more
ancient than political confederacy be-
tween the publican and the parson of
these later days. There are seven

every American should be proud of the

just been launched in San Francisco,
is n splendid type of the fighting ship.
1t is n credit to the state whose name
1t bears and 1t is a credit TO the whole

IF I have any preference for one
