Count de Beaufort.
Special CabIeyram TO The Star

LONDON. December o2.-What must be
written off as the quaintest ''at home of
the season took place at the Carlton Ho-
tel the other day. The reception was
given jointly by Count de Beaufort and
his friend Bob, assisted by Mr.. st. Johr
Rowlandson. When it is explained that
Bob is a fine. heavy brindle bulldog it
will be easily understood that the func
ton was far from being of the ordinary,
cut and dried. conventional character.
The count. who is young bachelor of
twenty-seven and has recently succeeded
to one of the oldest Dutch titles. issued
regular invitation cards with portrait Of
Bob printed on them and with the mes
sage underneath. II hope YOU viii come"

CONFUSED BY SCOTT CIRCLE
Mr.. CARNEGIE MIXED UP BY
MULTIPLICITY OF STREETS.
Has Same Difficulty in Locating the
Home Of Secretary Root
for a Social Call.

Although he figured out successfully
years ago all the intricate highways and
byways of the road to wealth. Andrew
Carnegie last night became somewhat
confused by the wealth OF streets which
come together like the spokes OF an i'm
rhense wheel at Scott Circle, this city.
On this circle stands the home of Secre-
tary Root which Mr.. Carnegie was seek
ing.
In true democratic style Mr.. Carnegie
used trolley car instead of an automo-
bile in going from his hotel to Mr.. Roots
home. This necesstated his walking
several blocks after aighting from the
street car. but the Laird of Skibo did not
yesterday as a witness at the tariff hear
ing.
The streets crossing each other near
Scott Circle at a variety Of angles caused
Mr. Carnegie some confusion He paused
several times as he approached Mr.. Roots
house to make sure that he was going in
the right direction. Going by the stables
back of the Secretary's house, he finally
came up to the front door from the rear,
much to the relief of the retired steel
maker. His unfamiliarity with the neigh
borhood is all the more surprising in view
of the fact that only about block away
the new administration building Of the
Carnegie Institution of Washing ton. to
which Mr.. Carnegie has given about
$12.CO0W0. is now nearing completion.
The philanthropist' call on Mr.. Root
last evening was purely of a social nature.

Word received from President
Bailey, of the Colorado, Colum-

who is in New York looking af-

sion is to be a successful one.

New York, and George Estes,

in readiness to answer a call to
the east at any time.
