Latest Fad In "SocietY."

The latest fad in certain eastern so.
ciety circles is to be glum and cross.
One phase Of this more than usually
absurd affectation takes the form OF
IGNORING letters of Introduction and
this lack or consideration has reused
family feuds in several cases. One
wealthy young Italian. who Is a men,
Der OF one of the best Roman families,

anything from social leaders these
days and the stranger who asks to be
received by letter has hard time OF
it," said young man whose letter to
a society matron was ignored.

longing Leading Man.
journal Special Service.

Journal Special Service.
New York, April 5.-Frederick May
er, until recently, personal representa-
tive of Nine. Sarah Bernhardt, now
touring this country, has, according to
reliable information received here to-
day, challenged M. De Max, leading
man Of the company, to fight duel on
French soil within ten days after the
company returns home. Mayer has al
ready gone to Paris. Max is in Texas
with Nine. Bernhard. He will not
reach France before June 1.
The challenge is the result Of re-
cent quarrel between the men in the
dressing room Of M. De Max at the
Greenwald theater, New Orleans. Just
how it started, even the principals can
not tell, but witnesses say it was ex-
ceedingly lively while it lasted.
Nine. Bernhardt and Mile. Barbiere,
one Of her leading women, were indi-
rectly the cause Of the row, altho the
latter at least, took no active part in
the incidents leading up to it.
From a person who has been on tour
with the company, it was learned that
the trouble arose because Nine. Bern
hardt complained that Mr.. Mayer neg
lected trivial affairs of hers to look
after the comfort of Mile. Barbiere.
Mayer denied that he had shown more
than ordinary interest in the comfort of
the actress. M. De Max championed
the tragedienne and took Mr.. Mayer to
| task. and the argument became SO
heated that Nine. Bernhardt interfered
to prevent serious physical combat.
| While he was not born in France, Mr..
Mayer has resided there nearly all his
life. He is an expert swordsman and
| his skill is we'll known. M. De Max il
also an expert fencer.

Chicago, April 5.-Misrepresentation
and undertaking of freight shipped out
of Chicago over western railroads is to
be investigated by the Interstate COM
merce commission, according to a re-
port in railway circles today. The hear
ing, it is understood, will be held in
Chicago early next week and some
startling developments are expected.
Hearings along similar line have
been conducted in New York and But
falo within the past two days and many
instances have been learned where Ship
pers have obtained greatly reduced
freight rates by misrepresenting the
character of the shipments and having
the goods billed in lower class than
that to which they were entitled.
The investigation of Chicago shippers
will be aided by the testimony of F. o.
Becker, superintendent of weighing and
inspection of the western lines, and
Paul Rainier, chief inspector for the
eastern lines.
| That the western roads are guilty of
collision with shippers in cases of mis-.
representation, was generally denied by
railroad officials today. They said that
they welcome the investigation.
