DESLYS TO COME TO AMERICA
French Danseuse Offered Six Hundred
Dollars a Performance In New York.

Vienna, Oct. S.-Gaby Deslys, whose
twinkling toes danced nation into a
revolution and kicked a kingly crown
from the head of Manuel of Portugal,
is considering three cabled offers from
American theatrical managers. The
dancer declared today that contracts
probably will be closed by cable cali
ing for her appearance in New YORK
during the present season.
While awaiting for the result OF her
cabled conferences with the American
managers, Gaby Deslys has been in
communication with Manuel. who is on
board the Portugueseroya] yacht Queen
Amelie, in Gibraltar harbor.
Il am happy, happy, happy" she
almost sang today as she received the
United Press correspondent. I have
heard from the king. The dangers
through which he has passed had not
been sufficient to make linn forget me,
From Gibraltar he has sent me long
cabed message Of love. believe he
will meet me in Paris on October 16,
as he had planned. Them will show
him that though his own people have
turned against him, Gaby Deslys is still
loyal"
Mile. Deslys refused to show the
cablegram or quote from it, declaring
the message, filled with the love of
her subject the king, was too sacred
for other eyes than her own.
In an exclusive interview Thursday
with the United Press Representative,
Mile. Deslys declared that she consider
ed it no disgrace to be the mistress OF
king, but that she would consider
it disgrace to advertise her relation
ship for financial gain. Evidently she
has changed her mind and now IN
tends to capitalize her escapades with
the deposed monarch. To each OF the
three American offers received yester-
day aud today, she replied that she
would 60 to America for 4 guarantee
of 5000 performance.
New York, Oct. 8.-Florenz Ziegfeld,
jr., the musical comedy producer, to-
day announced to the United Press
that he had captured the prize for
which producers OF America gre
fightiDg-the right to bill Mile. Gaby
Deslys in New York. Zeigfeld secured
an option on Mile. Deslys' services a
year ago, and three months ago signed
a contract to pay her $500 week as
headliner in his midwinter revue which
is to open in the New York Theatre
Thanksgiving Day.
ZeigfeId's fear that Deslys would
break her contract is evidently borne
out by the Vienna cables to the United
Press that shei is in communication with
three American managers, to each OF
whom she fixed her terms at $500 a
performance. Her contract with Zeig-
field calls for $500 a week, and there
are prospects OF a long drawn out legal
battle between theatrical managers il
the dancer tries to break her original
contract.
''Deslys is now only 20 years old, y
said Zeigfeld," with piquant French
figure and manner. She is a pro-
nounced natural blonde, and wonder
full dancer"

redefine his attitude. with respect to the
tariff1question, having, it is said found
that it is entirely misunderstood by the
public outside of New York state. The
Endorsement of the tariff and the adj
ministration contained in the republl-
can platform adopted at Saratoga has
naturally created the impression that
Mr.. Roosevelt has abandoned the posi-
tion he took in his Osawatomie and
other speeches in the west This m
preston has been strengthened by the
persistent declaration OF all reactlonary
and anti-Roosevelt newspapers that ne
was directly responsible for the plat
form of the republican convention anu
that it represented his views accurately,
Mr.. Roosevelt has now authorized the
denial IF this assertion, declaring that
he stands by his Osawatomle Speech
and that while he acquicsced IN the
wording OF the Saratoga platform, the
only propositions for which he assumed
any direct responsibility were those de-
nouncing corruption and plcdglng the
party to enact a direct primary law II
successful in the election. Those VINO
pay'any attention to Mr.. Roosevelt's
utterances will observe that he will say
one thing at one time and another

popular approval. What he says ana
what he does are two entirely different
things Mr.. Roosevelt is firm be-
lever in the theory'that a modern poll
tician cannot afford to be consistent.

canine and feline butcher shops were
opened in different parts of Paris.
Skillfully prepared. properly skinned

means tough. Canine outlets were
sold at 2 francs each. and leg of dog
might be purchased at double that

were very fond. But day came when
there was nothing to eat in the house.
and poor Bijou had to be killed and
cooked. His master and mistress sat
down to dinner with tears in their

mechanically placed the tiny rib bones
on the side of her plate. Poor Bijou"
