Special Cable to The Herald

Special Cable to The Herald
DUBLIN, Jan. 6.-Apropos of the
coming marriage of Mrs. John Mackay's
young granddaughter it is possible to
tell for the first time an extraordinary
story OF real life.
Its heroine is the wife of an Ameri-
can millionaire now in Ireland. She did
not begin life as the mistress of
wealth. AS a girl in her teens she
emigrated from ireland to the United
States and IN a few years time found
herself in the service of Mrs. Mackay,
the wife of the silver king.
Then the girl, a devout Roman Cath
olic, made the acquaintance of a man
who eventually developed into a lover
and begged her to lend" him a few of
Mrs, Mackays priceless black pearl or
naments so that he could raise some
money on them, of which he was ur-
gently in need. After considerable per-
suasion he induced the girl to do as he
desired, with the result that from that
day to this he has never been heard of.
The ornaments We're never missed
and in time Mrs. Mackay's maid left
her service, her heart, however de-
voured with remorse at what she had
done. For years afterWard she saved
up almost every farthing of her earn
ings in the hope that she might repay
her mistress for the stolen jewels The
attempt to save sufficient proved futile,
however. black pearls being so fabu-
lously expensive, and it was only quite
recently on her marriage TO her pres
ent husband that she was able to fulfill
what she regarded as a sacred duty.
Judge of her amazemcnt when ON
hearing from Mrs. Mackay she learned
that the missing pearls We're but an
imitation Of the real ones locked away
in Mrs. Mackay's safe in New York,
those stolen having been bought i'm the
Rue de Rivoli i'm Paris, and used by
Mrs. Mackay when away from home
to avoid the anxiety of carrying about
the genuine jewels.
The magnificent real black pearls,
which were sent by her former maid
to Carlton house terrace, are at the
special request of the purchaser TO be
presented to Mrs. Mackays grand
daughter on her marriage, and 10
prove Mrs Mackay's forgiveness and
appreciation the former maid and her
husband have already received inti-
nations that they are to be present at
the wedding when 1t comes off in Paris

PARIS, Jan. 6.-Medical men now
are occupied with the case of Gustav
Nordin, a hardy Swede, who padded
his own canoe from Stockholm TO
Paris and reached here i'm robust
health after the long voyage during

wine, beer, spirits and tobacco. He
prides himself in eclipsing vegetarians
and returning to the system that Is
termed natural alimentation.
Nordin agreed to allow the doctors
to draw some blood from his legs ana
arms for the purpose OF analysis. He
states that when in America at the
age of Is he found he could not eat
ordinary food and was suffering. so
he began a diet of fruit, principally
apples. ON which he thrOve and became
the robust person he is today.

ENGLISH WOMEN UNGAINLY
Japanese Artist Criticises Their Awk=

LONDON. Jan. 4.--Mr. Yoshio Mar
kino, a japanese artist i'm this country,
in an interview has just induged i'm
sweeping criticism of the ungainly
carriage of English women.
The English ladies have such pretty
faces and such nice figures" he de-
clared in his interview. Il for one
cannot understand how it is that they
carry themselves so badly"
Continuing in similar strain he
said:
Il walk up and down your great city
I notice that the ladies are so aWk-
ward. Their arms are hudded up,
their elbows are too much in evidence,
the skirt is caught up untidily by one
hand, throwing the whole figure out
of poise.
q believe the reason is that every
body in your country is too active,
too much in hurry-not only the
men who work, but the women also.
How can one be graceful under
these circumstances? The women of
my country are so happy and peaceful.
They are always the picture of repose.
They are never in haste.
Then the ladies of England are too
fond of fashion, They copy the ladies
of France, What will suit a French
woman will never suit the English
woman,
Il do not like these short sleeves.
They are out of place. | see a smart
girl with a short sleeve. She seems to
say to me, See, now, l am ready to
do the scrubbing.'"
Another point which astounds him is
the assurance of the English girl. "She
walks along with her head in the air,
so naughty" Mr.. Markino said.
She is afraid of nothing. In our
country it would not be modest to be
unafraid. Our women go always with
their eyes cast on the ground. They
are content to be women. They do
not care to he masculine"
one of the English girls who declined
to allow her name to be used, fearing
that the charge of being immodest''
might be brought against her, said
that while there was some truth in the
charges of Mr. Markino, there was a
great deal that would not stand the
test Of careful analysis.
'I think that our walk will compare
favorably with the waddle. waddle of
the Geisha girls, no marter what Mr..
Markno may thing about the women
of his own land" she retorted

speclnl cable to rhe Hernld.

PARIS, Jan. 6.-That Europe is
turning to America for ideas I'm hotels
is evidenced by the fact that owners
and managers of continental hostleries
have been going there in some numbers
this autumn to study the methods in
vogue with a view to applying them
to hotels now being built i'm Europe.
The latest to go are Herr Antoine Au-
Itch. manager of the Savoy Westend
hotel in Carlsbad; Herr Otto Geessler,
proprietor of the Campbell. the Colum-
lila and several other hotels in Paris,
and M. Leon Tauber proprietor of the
Hotel Regina, which is one of the most
favorably known hotels i'm the French
capital and which is patronized largely
by Americans.
Herr Aulich and Herr Geessler are
about to build a new hotel i'm the
Champs Blysees, on a corner near the
Arc de Triomphe. NJ. Tauber is build
ing another i'm the Avenue Kleber
Both hotels will be arranged as to their
interiors on the plans of the best
American hotels, and it was to famil-
iarize themselves with the workings Of
these that Herr Aulich, Herr Geessler
and M. Tauber went over to New
York.
America Far in Lead
There is no question" said Herr
Aulich, chat the hotel in America has
reached a stage of development which
IS quite beyond anything in Europe
For twenty years | have wished to
come over here, and now ! am glad |
came. SO are we all There are so
many Americans travelling in Europe
nowadays and most hotels over there
depend on them to such an extent for
their patronage that we feel that they
should have, as they frequently de-
mand, the best that can be given in
the matter of accommodation.
1--WE have visited and inspected five
great notes.-the Waldorf, the St
Regis, the Holland House, the Astor
and the Manhattan. Each one is diff
ferent from the others and each one
is the perfection of its type. I can say

have the use of which would seem for

Notes Many Improvements
"I have noted improvements which
are common to all of these hotels and
to which Europe has not yet come
Really this is a school for us. We
came over to study and We shall give
the people of Europe, and especially
the French. the practical benefit of
our observa tions.
"The hotel which Herr Geessler and
! are about to build will have about
200 rooms, while that of NJ. Tauber
will contain about 300. Our intention
is to make the inside arrangements
conform a nearly as possible to Amer
lean ideas, to give Americans of re-

cations which in taste and comfort
will be quite equal to the best they

BELFAST, Jan. GA titanic fight
took place yesterday when a lion
killed another lion and lioness in Bos-
took & WombwelPs menagerie.
The victor was Duke, which has the
reputation of being the largest lion
in captivity, and his victims were Il
smaller lion and lioness, which were,
for the first time, spending the night
in the cage next to his.
Hitherto Dukes neighbor had been
a lioness named Duchess-the two
were chrstened six or seven years
ago by the princess royal, when they
We're exhibited as cubs at a charity
bazaar in Edinburgh-but the eX-
igencies of the show had necessitated
a Encouragement of the animals.
Duke bore the change with apparent
equanmity on Tuesday night, and the
thousands who thrOnged the menagerie
saw no suggestion that his regal ire
was reused.
The Lions Attack
But when the audience departed and
the trainers and keepers left the show
Dukes resentment got the better of
him. lie paced up and down his cage
thinking matters over and each time
he shifted the scent of strange beasts
his wrath grew hotter and hotter. AT
last it became uncomfortable. About
o'clock in the morning he began to
attack the massive woodwork between
him and the aliens.
Splinter after splinter was ripped
away, and the other animals i'm the
menagerie, realizing that the king of
beasts was on the warpath, roared
and beloved until the people in the
neighburhood awoke and wondered
what was happening,
Among them Mr.. Bostock was
aroused and, realizing that something
was wrong, he rushed into the
menagerle.
He found that Duke had torn a great
hole in the partition, had pushed
through IL and was engaged in mortal
combat with the strangers in the
cage next to his.
Left His Victims Dead
Keepers We're summoned hurriedly,
and with pitchforks and other weapons
they tried to separate the beasts.
But it was useless. Duke did not
leave his victims until they lay dead
i'm opposite corners Of their cage.
He had sprung at the throat of the
lion and killed 1t Immediately. Then,
with roar of rage, he seized the
lioness and shook her I'm his teeth as
terrier would rat until she died.
AT length, his fury satiated, Duke
was driven into his own cage, and
when, later in the day, Mr.. Bostock
went to see him, he responded freely
to his caresses. His revenge had
been complete.
The value Of Dukes victims is
placed at $4,000.
