Mexico. The baroness is the youngest
hostess in the diplomatic corps. She
has recently celebrated her 21st birth
day.
Baron Moncheur was for three years
envoy of Belgium at the City of Mex
leo and his first wife was also an
American-Miss Holman, half-sister
of Edward Padelford of New York.
His acquaintance with the baroness
began through her friendship with
Mrs. HOLMAN, who is expected shortly
from Mexico with the three children
of the first marriage. Baron Moncheur
comes from a wealthy and aristocratic
family of ancient Flanders. The Mon
cheurs reside in a handsome old colo
NAL house on H street.
By profession Senator Cockrell is
lawyer. His home is at Warrensburg,
Mo.
Senator Hoar Of Massachusetts,, who
is 76 years old, was engaged in an
earnest argument with Senator Bacon
of Georgia over Mr.. Hoar's bill for
the protection of the president of the
United States. The senate was very
quiet because the other members were
enjoying the contest between what
are termed the two most stubborn men
in that body. Mr.. Hoar was in the
midst of one of his arguments when
Senator Depew sneezed. The venera-
BILE Massachusetts man was forced to
stop, because a Depew sneeze is
time-consuming operation. 1t begins
with a serio-comic buzz and ends with
severely, that 1 disapprove Of such
an explosion which would make gal
lery god think the villain was getting
in his gunpowder stunt. Mr.. Hoar
faced about and looked stelnly
at his interrupter. Senator Dep
ew's eyes filleo with tears-gen-
uine tears-and he buried his face in
his handkerchief. All the rest of the
senators laughed at the scene except
the participants. Mr. Hoar had to
wait for quiet before he proceeded.
After the session Mr.. Depew, who IL
6S years old, went up to the defender
of the traditions and dignity of the
senate to express his regret that the
sneeze had arrived at such an inoppor-
tuno time, but Mr.. Hoar received the
apology coldly.

c. z. Borchsrevinls Who Reeched the Most Extreme

G. s.. Borchgrevinlz, who command

1S9S-19O0, which penetrated to latitude
1880, the most extreme southern
point ever gained by explorers, is in
New York city, busy with plans for
another expedition in search of the
south pole. In speaking of the perils
encountered In his recent expedition
he gives the following graphic account
of the hardships undergone by the ex-
plorers:

The antarctic night, which lasts
for seventy-one days at Cape Adair,
is longer than the night at the same
latitude in the north. Like an evil
sneakiog spirit the antarctic night
wraps the traveller in its black, cold
clasp. No one who has not faced these
midnight winters fully realizes what
depressing effect the lack of sunlight
has upon the human mind. The awful
monotony, the roaring silence are mat

USED HEAD AS WELL AS HANDS
Dogerty Wears Whitman Down in a
 Running Game

Newport, R. l.. Aug. 26.-The interna-
 tipnal match between R. F. Dogerty or
 England and M. D. Whitman in the hnal
 round of the national lawn tennis cham
 pionshp was won by the foreigner Tn
 three sets to one and by scores of 6-l'
 2-6, 60.
 William A. Larned the present holder
 of the tennis championship will defend
 his title against Dogerty challenge tomor-
 row. After Whitman's decisive victory over Doherty in the Davis cup event at
 Bay Ridge it was generally expected that he would score today or put up hard fight But as in every other match which
 the Englishmen have played. 1t was inc American who did the hard work. That Whitman with all his experience should have been duped into playing running game was one of the surprises of the day. while another was his inability to stand the race. Neither the sets nor the games were long, but after three sets with a total of twenty-five games had been played the American pulled up winded and exhausted and the seven minute in termission was not long enough for him to catch his breath or regain his strength. | Whitmans showing against R. F. Do herty was far below that of w. J. Cloth fer of Saturday who won seventeen out
 of thirtyone games while the Bostonian scored only eleven out of thirty-three
 games. In points Doherty made a total of IF to Whitmans S9. while the Eng lishman had the advantage in place shots and some less errors. From spectator s SLdlupOlUt lUe result Ol NOhdS SolltVoN was not only disappointing but inexpl- cable The first set went to the English
 man with little opposition. In the second set Whitman fairly smothered Doherty by dazzling work at the net. and this briliancy led many to forget that his er- TOTS were also numerous. After closing up this set in a fine burst of play. every | one seemed to have perfect confidence in
 the American. For a few games in the | third set Whitman fully justified this con | fidence. But all this time he was on the
 run and Doherty did not miss a single l opportunity to give him a chance at the | balls A dozen times the EngliShman had | every chance to effectively kill balls, but
 he deliberately threw away these chances
 and sent them back with litle speed, so | that Whitman by hard running could | just reached them. It matters little to | Doherty wether his opponent returned
 them or not. Then 1t was seen that
 Whitman was fast becoming winded. and
 the end of the match practically was in
 sight Whitman tried to rally but after
 deuce had been called three times he col | lapsed. Doherty at once jumped in and | took the set and after that the match. The tournamen will end tomorrow with l the challenge match between William A
 Larned of Sunni, N. J., and R. ?. Do-
 herty. Larned won his title last year by
 reason of his victory in the champion- | ship tournament and the default of Whit
 man. the tennis champion of 1S9S-99 and | 1900. That he will be able to defend his l title successfully tomorrow is d mooted | question.
