PESTIlENT AUTHOR OF SENSA.
TlONAL PAMPHLETS MAILS
SERIES OF scURRILoUs NOTES
ATTACKS MANY PEERESSES.

LONDON, July 21.-The most fash
ionable and ultra-aristocratic set in
English society continues to be ter
rorized by the work of an anonymous
letter writer During the past month
innumerable letters have been sent to
members OF the peerage and aristoc-
racy generally. These letters are be.
lieved to emanate from the same
source as the scurrilous pamphlet
written in Leipzig last month and
mailed to the leading members, men
and women. OF the English aristoc-
racy.
A sensation of dismay was caused
by the widespread distribution OF the
abominable pamphlet which was de-
scribed in The Times at the time.
In the anonymous letters now being
showered upon the smart set, many OF
the accusations contained in the
pamphlet are being repeated. The
writer makes abominable accusations
against noted English duchess.
coupling with her name that OF an
other woman member Of most his
toric English family. Other letters
contain monstrous accusations against
a duke bearing an equally historic
name. and a countess bearing one of
the most distinguished names III the
English peerage. Everybody In so
ciety knows about the circulation of
these anonymous letters. AMI the
charges they contain-and which no
body believes.
Authoress May be Demented.
A knowledge Of the contents OF these
anonymous letters has reached the
king and queen and other members
OF the royal family. and their maj
estes, In order to show that they do
not believe in charges. are going out
OF their way to show special attention
to all the persons attacked, In order
that the scandals may not be repeated
or believed. The matter has not yet
been placed in the hands OF the police,
but a private Investigation Is being
made.
The author OF both letters and
pamphlet Is believed to be a governess
formerly employed In a ducal family
and who is suspected to be insane.
Mrs. Potter Palmer has cancelled
the invitations to big cotillon which
she issued long time ago. Gossips
attribute the cancellation OF the af-
fair to her hasty REIMBURSEMENT OF
the lease OF the Duke OF Abercorn 8
residence. Hampden House.
IL Is stated that she wanted to buy
the house with all the furniture and
decorations, including Lord Aber-
corn's family tapestries and ancestral
portraits, but the duke refused to part
with the family heirlooms. This is
the dukes fourth refusal. He Is will
ing TO sell his house. but draws the
line at selling the heirlooms. Lon.
don will miss Mrs. Palmer. because
she has been the most lavish enter
tainer known In years.

Is connected with the engagement, the
couple having played together as
children, and their marriage has been
a forgone conclusion.
In contrast with the fierce glare Of
publicity that surrounds the doings OF
the Roosevelts, the French public
know little and care less about the
Fallieres family In social way. There
is indeed nothing interesting or unus-

coming to the presidential residence
was to replace the chef de cuisine by
a family cook.
Jean Lanes. the presidents future
son-ln-law, is the son Of NJ. Fallieres'
oldest friend, and there has never
been the slightest doubt that In the
homely bourgeois fashion he would
