ELEVATED HANDSHAKE.

How the Fashion Originated-Em-
press Josephine's Handkerchief.
1t appears that some Of the present
cal defects, says the London Globe. The
elevated handshake is one Of these, and
| a Paris contemporary throws an inter-
esting light upon its origin. 1t appears
that prince, a leader Of society in the
| French capital, had a carbuncle or
| some such inconvenient and painful
growth on his shoulder. Whenever a
friend gave him a handshake the oper-
alton as far as the prince was CONCERN
ed was most painful. To prevent this
he raised his hand horizontally to his
shoulder, and, if we may use the ex-
preston, had 1.-The whip hand"
The new method of handshake was
the establishment and admiration Of
certain persons always on the lookout
for the latest in society, who thought
that the prince had inaugurated a new
fashion which one sees daily in opera
ton in the Strand.
The dainty lace handkerchief which
ladies use owes its origin also to the
defects Of nature. The unhappy EN-
press Josephine introduced the fashion.
She suffered from bad teeth, and living
in the time when American dentistry
was unknown, she cast about her for
some means to hide the defect. The
cambria handkerchief with rich lace
was the outcome. If the empress wish
ed to laugh or had to open her mouth
widely the handkerchief was requisi-
toned.
Again, yellow lace has its origin in
sadness, according to tradition. A lady
Of distinction had lost her husband BY
shipwreck or some other cause. She
was impressed with the idea that be
would return and vowed to continue
wearing until he was restored to her
the lace which adorned her dress when
she said farewell. Like Josephfne's
handkerchief, her intimates thought her
soiled lace was an innovation in fash
ion and adopted means to copy it.

ENGLAND WANTS
REBEL ISLANDS
BRITAINS SUGGEST TRANSFER OF
ST. PIERRE MIQUELON FROM
FRANCE.
WOULD END ALL DISPUTES.
London Globe Suggests That America
Would Not Desire to Strive for
Their Possession.
CHURCH TROUBLE IS INVOLVED.

LONDON. Nov. 1S.-The report pub
lished here of the hosting of the stars
and stripes over the residence of the
governor of st. Pierre Miquelon, the
French islands off the coast of New
fOundland by the people of st. Pierre
following a series of demonstrations for
free schools, have led to some of the
newspapers of London suggesting that
the friction constantly arising over these
Islands should be finally ended by France
transferring them to Great Britain on
the basis of exchange for territory else
where The Globe suggests that Wash
ington would hardly desire to strive
for their possession.
PARIS. Nov. 1S.-It was explained at
the colonial ministry today that the riot
ing at st. Pierre-Miquelon was not due
to the closing of Catholic schools, but to
the opening of a new school without the
authorization of the governor.
The dispatches do not mention the
hosting of the American flag. The
trouble is attributed here to the long
standing differences between Catholics
and radicals, which has become aggra-
waited by the plight of the people be
cause of the prevailing economic distress
due to the decay of the fishing industry.
ST. JOHNS, n. F., Nov. 1S.-Advices
received from st. Pierre Miquelin today
state that crowds continue to gather in
the streets and about the government
building in spite of the police interfer-
ence. The colonial officials, this dis
patches state, have decided to ask the
home government to send to st. Pierre
French warships which are understood
to be now at New York to assist in
keeping order.

pot by hundreds. Immediately after

duck hunt at lake fifteen miles from

boots, Mr.. Bryan forgot political cues

LYDIA THOMPSON DIES.
Woman Who Won Triumphs on English
and American Stages Became Fa-
nous as Burlesquer

NEW YORK, Nov. 1S.--Lydia Thomp-
son, perhaps the most famous burIesque
actress of her time, died suddenly yes
terday at her home in Westminster Man
sions, near Westminster abbey, London,
England. The news reached this coun-
try in a brief cablegram to her daugh-
ter, Zetfle Tilbury, herself an actress,
who is the wife of L. f. Woodthorp,
stage manager for Nat Goodwin,
Probably no other woman of the Eng
fish stage, either III the serious or frivol
oLs poses of the drama, excited such n
furore in the United States as did Lydia
Thompson when she first came here III
1868. Her reputation had preceded her,
however, for she already had made Il
triumphal tour of the chief capitals of
Europe. Born on February 10, 1896, she
first earned a reputation as n dancer i'll
fairy spectacular and bLrlesque as far
back as 1852 at Her Majestys theater,
London.
The following year began her dramatic
career in pantomime at the Haymarket
and in 1856 she toured Europe, where
she won such favor that in many cities
she was serenaded and escorted by torch
light parades
After three years spent in America,
Miss Thompson went back to England to
procure new costumes. On her return
here she brought with her Rose COgh-
Ian and Eliza Wethersby, afterward the
wife of Nat Goodwin. One incident of
her experience in this country took place
in Chicago, when she horsewhipped IL
newspaper man in the street for writing
an article she did not like concerning
one of her songs.
In all Miss Thompson made four visits
to this country. She estimated that she
earned fully 100000 on her American
tours, but she often said that she only
received about 100000, being robbed of
the rest by persons whom she trusted.
