Special Cable to The Herald.
LONDON, July 31.-Society is greatly
excited over the arrival of Miss t1ar-
riet DAILY an American heiress, who is
reputed to be worth S35, 900, which is
amply sufficient to give her the pick of
all the matrimonial unincumbered no
blemen I'm the realm. She is a daugh-
ter of Marcus DAILY, the copper king,
and is to go about under the wing OF
Mrs. Almeric Paget. She was to have
made her first "oficial' appearance at
the party that lady had arranged for
Mr.. and Mrs Longworth, but which had
to be abandoned owing to the sudden
indispostion Of the hostess.
Miss DAILY Is a good deal of Bone
mian, and when in Paris much pre-
ferred lunching and dining in cafes in
the Latin quarter instead of at the Ritz
or the Bristol. She was, It is said hur-
ried out of the gay and giddy city be-
cause her friends feared she would
marry a penniless artist. According to
another version of the story the painter,
while protesting the most ardent affec-
ton for the heiress, declared that he
had no intention of marrying her until
he had won his laurels, and she, on her
part, had declared her intention of wait
ing for him even If that means not
marrying for twenty years But this
does not prevent aristocratic danes
with unmarried sons from paying her
marked attention. Already she has
found it necessary to employ secre-
tary to answer the invitations which
pour in upon her by every post.
Another American who is causing a
sensation is the beautiful Mrs. Law.
She is the richest widow (after Lady
Naylor-L Leyland) just now in London,
having an income, it is said, of over
$3.50 900. She has been received by the
king and queen and has had the priv
ilege of an invitation to Sandringham
for a weekend, a fact which proves
great intimacy, as it is only special
friends who are ever asked to stay at
Norfolk with the king and queen. l
hear her late husband was so devoted
to her that he made her promise even
in the event of her remarrying, she
would arrange that she should be buried
beside him, and it was on this con-
dition he left her his immense fortune.
The suggestion is rather grewsome but
probably was worth the $250000 a year
he left her for the promise.

WOMEN FOND OF FALSE CURLS
Are of All Hues, but Titan Red Is
Most PopuIar-Very Latest
Thinus

Special Cable to The Herald.
LONDON, July 31.-Golden curls, au-
burn curls and curls of various hues
were strewn thick upon the field of AS
cot. This was the result of the very
latest thing in hair dressing. 1t has been
in vogue some time in Paris, but ar
rived here only about a month ago. 1t
consists in fixing on punches of curls
behind and at the sides of the hat usu-
ally when the headgear is arranged.
These punches of curls are put on and
off in the same manner as earrings. No
one attempts to make believe that they
grow on the wearers head, at least if
any one does suggest such an idea, no
one believes her. They were invented by
the French hair dressers to meet the
requirements of the new hats which are
tilted so enormously at the back, and
without the addition of the fascinating
curls, leave the head curiously bare.
In many cases they are stuck on to
the hat. In any circumstances the ad-
justment of false tresses is not an easy
matter, but when it is essential to fix
it to a hat the difficulty can be easily
grasped, and this accounts for the state
of the breeze-swe field at Ascot. They
say several engagements have been
broken off owing to the wearers having
dropped their locks. The men who have
taken such a high-handed attitude
must be very young and innocent Arti-
ficiality is in its heyday. 1t is the hour
of false jewelry, false teeth, wigs and
manufactured complexion. All these
things are accepted as matters of the
most obvious course
Par. example, the majority of the
smart women who wore Titan red hair
year ago are now glorified in halo
of golden brown, which accounts for the
hundreds of thousands of yards OF
brown tulle which is used this season
on millinery because the dark brown
tones so perfectly with the tint of the
new shade of hair. Today Titan red
hair is quite bourgeois. and those who
have had it bequeathed to them by
providence are ashamed of it. AS for
the locks of the golden peroxide order,
they have been relegated to the second
rate barmaids and are never seen on
the fair dame who pretends to be chic
1t is only American women who wear
gray hair. There was an attempt some
months ago to make it the fashion. 1t
had a brief vogue. Women decided it
made them look older, and with this
tragic idea upon them they flew to the
ateliers of the smart hair dressers and
had their tresses dyed the new tone.

N|PS PLOT To
SEIZE SEA FORTS
Continued from page one.

been received in ST. Petersburg up to
this hour.
The secondary uprising among the
marines and troops stationed at Ska
tunden barracks, on the peninsula COM
municating with the mainland, was
crushed out at a late hour yesterday
afternoon by loyal troops after heavy
fighting, in which nine cruisers, de-
stroyers and torpedo boats partici-
pated.
The sound of firing on the islands
and from the fortresses has ceased and
in spite of the fact that the occupation
of the entire water front by Cossa cks
prevents the obtaining of positive
news it Is announced at Helsingfors
that the mutinous artillerymen and
sappers still are holding their posi-
tionS.
Hold the Islands
The outlying islands and the fortress
appear to be in their possession and
they have perhaps all the machine
guns, quick-firers and movable artil-
lery of the fortress.
Gen. Laiming, the commandant of the
fortress is holding on to the main fort
on Commander island with a force of
infantry.
A general strike was declared in Hell
singfors by the Socialistic workmen to-
day. All factories have been closed.
The last direct dispatch from the
correspondent of the Associated Press
which has arrived here was eleven
hours en- route. from Helsingfors.
To Release Prisoners
The correspondent said that the "Red
guard" the armed Socialist legion,
was contemplating an armed uprising
to attempt the release of the prisoners
imprisoned in the Skatend barracks.
Owing to the destruction of tele-
graph wires by the Red guard which
Associated Press is receiving the
freshest news of the mutiny by the
roundabout means of telephoning to
Viborg and telegraphing from there to
ST. Petersburg. This entails a, delay
of several hours.
The militia received a telegram from
Helsingfors this morning from Mai
Gen. Laiming, announcing that the
fortresses and artillery had opened fire
on Commander island. The insur-
gents seized the artillery, all the ma
chine guns and took possession of one
of the islands. Some of the telegraph
wires have been cut.
Troops Near
Maj. Gen. Laiming announced that
he was on Commander island with four
companies of the garrison and two
companies of sharpshooters sent from
Helsingfors. He does not give the
number of casualties.
Premier Stolypin has also received
frequent messages concerning the mu-
tiny. He told a caller that the situa-
tion was critical to an extreme degree.
Almost the entire fortress is in the
hands of the insurgents and there are
comparatively few loyal troops in Hell
singfors. The entire district popula-
tion is lead by the RED guard.
