At WHITE HOUSE.
SOCIETY IS MUCH sMYsTIFIED
Loss of Handsome Wrap at a Mn.
I sicale Given by Mrs. Roose-
ye1t-N0 Stranger There.

Washington, March 2S.-Society here is ex-
ercised because of the mysterious theft. OF a
handsome wrap belonging to Nine. Dyas, who
entertained the company at "a musicale given
by Mrs. Roosevelt, at 1.-THE White House two
weeks ago. The wrap was of black silk, linei
with fur and trimmed with lace. In its place
was left a dilapidated cloth cape, so shabby
that the prime. donna. refused to wear it, and
she went home adorned with a wrap which
Mrs. Roosevelt lent her.
The president and Mrs. Roosevelt were ex-
ceedingly embarrassed by the occurrence, ana
have sought in every direction to recover
the lost property. Advertisements were placed
in all the local papers and detectives were
employed, but not the slightest trace of the
garment could be discovered. Mrs. Roosevelt
therefore purchased wrap corresponding as
closely as possible and sent it to Nine. Dyas.
No one was admitted to the White House
on the occasion except guests invited by
cards, and these were members of the high
est official and resident society. 1t has been
the invariable rule during the Roosevelt
regime that all those accepting invitations to
entertainments leave their cards names
with the usners or doorkeepers before being
admitted into the drawing room Scrutiny
OF the cards left on this particular evening
revealed no trinvited guest The ushers and
doorkeepers equally positive that no
strangers Sought admission. Hence Wash
ington is exceedingly mystifed.

as it does a large amount of oxalic acid, 1T

rather sluggish and much in need of stimu-
liant.

AROUSED EMPEROR'S CONTEMPT.
Undignifled Actions Of Diplomats at
Chinese Court Reception.

A dispatch from Pekin yesterday says:
The dowager empress and the emperor
granted a New Year audience to the diplo-
matte corps today. The dowager empress
was seated on a throne with the emperor
occupying chair at her left, step lower
down. Baron Czikann Won Wahlborn. the
Austrian minister to China. addressed
congratulatory speech to the emperor. and
Prince Ching, head Of the foreign office,
read the emperor's reply. The dowager
empress and Baron Czikann Won WahlbOrn
exchanged impromtu remarks.
This second audience, like the first, was
undignified. because Of the lack OF order.
The diplomats. on entering the hall. rushed
toward the throne, scrambing for a sight
Of the imperial party. The officials said the
emperor sneered noticeably several times.
AS in the case OF the first audience, their
majesties were subjected to the operation OF
cameras, which the Chinese consider un-
dignffied
