PRAISES HER NATION.
Countess Won WaIdersee Finds Amer
lean Men Most Polite

New York. Sept 30.-The Countess
Mary Won WaIdersee, an American wo-
man who married famous German
soldier and left this country many
years ago. has given her impressions of
the land of her birth. gained during her
present visit here the first since her
marriage. They may be summarized
as follows:
American men in all conditions of
life are more polite than any she has
ever met.
New York's policemen are of the
highest type she has ever seen. and of
wonderful courtesy toward all women.
American working girls as a class are
superior to all in their class in the
world.
In company with her sister, the
Baroness Josephine Won Waechter, the
countess has visited many missions of
all sorts. A friend of the countess, a
woman who knew her abroad for sew
eral years and who has been with her
much of the time since her return to
New York, said today:
Il asked the countess a day or two
ago to tell me what change in Ameri-
can conditions since she left she had
noticed the most. To my surprise she
spoke about the unfailing courtesy of
all classes. Never anywhere. she told
me, had she found the men, the men of
all sorts and conditions of life-young
boys even-who are as polite as the
Americans.
1.-THE countess told me the matter of
giving up seats to women in street cars
by American men is far more courteous
than any she ever met elsewhere. You
know the countess and the baroness are
among the most democratic of women.
There has been scarcely a trip about the
city taken by them since they came to
New York that has not been done in
trolley cars.
According to the countess opinion
Commissioner Pi per had no real cause
to go to Berlin for information to apply
to the improvement of New York's po-
lice force. Never. she says, has she seen
an organized force uniformly of so high
a type as our police.
1.-THE work of the policemen at the
crossings she has spoken of frequently,
complimenting them highly. The cour-
tesy of the whole force she thinks is
wonderful, in that it is accorded to ev-
cry woman, no matter how humble-a
condition existing nowhere else.
Most deeply of all her impressions
gained here the countess holds is con-
corning our American working girls. AS
a class, she thinks their equals exist
nowhere else in the world. Holding
themselves high. they possess an indie
pendence that the working women no
where else have. They dress better, look
better, and apparently are in every way
above the girls in the same class else
where"

ALL MEN NOT EQUAL.
Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish Says Ameri-
cans Must Have AristocracY.

st. Louis. Sept 30-Mrs. Stuyvesans
Fish, wife of the president of the Illi
nois Central railroad. leader of New
York's "4O0'' and one of the rulers of
Viewpoints summer colony, declared in
a breezy interview here that all persons
are not equal, that the United States is
to have an aristOcracy. that the vulgar
new rich are invading Newport; that
Americans make themselves ridiculous
over foreign counts and dukes, and that
Miss Goelet's family paid 81, 0OO, 900 for
the privilege of marrying her to the
Duke oe RoXburghe.
Mrs. Fish, in consenting to the inter-
view. said:
Now. be careful what you say about
me, and do not write any ridiculous
thing. what you newspaper people call
a pipe Just write it as I said IT.
These are some of the things she said:
Il should not like to have to eat with
negroes.
Il do not believe in equality; it would
I'VE are coming more and more to
have an aristocracy and common peo-
pie.
I do not believe in being too demo-
Europe is older than we. and she
cannot get along without the different
classes
Mrs. Fish was asked about the de-
cline of Newport as the social hub of
the United States. She replied:
Newport is not declining. True. it
is being invaded by vulgar new rich
people of the parvenu class, but the
higher classes still are there.
Society people do not run after the
sensational and do not want something
new and out of the way all the time.
This impression is false one, and
was created solely by the press. For
instance Harry Lehr and his monkey
function, which is said to have occurred
at my cottage.
"I never heard of anything quite so
ridiculous in my life. 1t never occur
red. and all these other stories are ex-
aggerations.
why is it that the newspapers print
such silly things about society people.
Newport and Harry Lehr? Harry Lehr
is an ordinary person. ] mean he is not
an unusual person. He is just like
anybody else"
Newport just now is paying too
much attention to foreign lords
It think that this country is making
itself ridiculous in regard to titles.
1.-The marriage of Miss Goelet to the
duke of Roxburghe is the latest piece
of this sort of folly.
They paid down S2.000.O00 to do 1t.
"Of course the duke is not as bad
as some foreigners who have married
American girls, for he has some money
about $50, 600 a year-but that is not
much for people in his station.
ct think it foolish.

1t has been generally admitted that
society people do not go to see the
plays presented by the repertoire COM
panies which play in Topeka. The
Morey stock company. which is now at

at any rate Topeka society was never

ton in Topeka than it was at For Her
