BRILLIANCY OF RUSSIAN COURT
Only Black Coat Seen that of the
American Ambassador.

From Customs a. European Courts IN the Strand
The Russian court has extreme brill
liancy and goes one better than any
other court in Europe in the way Of
luxury and an almost barbaric magnif-
cence. The seson is in the winter,
and lasts until Easter. Several court
balls take place, and an invitation to one
OF these is n imperative command to
which only illness or the deepest mourn
ing can be given as an excuse for alb
sence. On such an occasion the winter
palace is a dream Of faryland. The state
rooms. which are among the finest in
Europe. are richly gilded and furnished
with much magnihcence. And, with an
outside temperature below zero, the malal-
chite saloon and the vast halls and gal
leries are filed with rare flowers that
bloom IN a hot-house atmosphere. All
the men wear ribbons and orders, and
splendid uniforms are seen-the officers Of
the Imperial Guard resplendent in white
and gold. the Lancers in scarlet. the
Hussars IN green, and the Cossacks in
silver The only black coat is that OF
the American Ambassador. And nowhere
else can be seen such gowns, Jewels. and
decorations. Russian court ladies wear
a special court dress. glorifed edition
OF the national costume. Black gowns
are dlsallowed, as in Berlin. The ladies
"of the portrait wear a miniature OF
the Empress set in diamonds, and the
maids Of honor have her initials in
diamonds on a blue ribbon worn on the
shoulder
A court ball begins at nine. and every
one must be present before the entrance
OF royalty. The ball opens with a dance
called a polonaise. led by the Emperor
and Empress. The Emperor dances with
a grand duchess and the Empress with
an ambassador. Quadrilles and waltzes
follow, and a national dance known as the
mazurka. Less splendid but even more
choice are the smaller and more intimate
dances, called the balls des palmieres.
When these are given the long gallery
is transformed into a tropical forest, with
flowers. plants, and tree ferns, and
among the scented greenery are set
little tables with supper for FIVE hundred
persons. At the bigger court balls as
many as three thousand guests are served
at the same time with supper

WHERE THE FAN CAME FROM.
Four sountries Claim Credit OF It's
Invention.

From the Baltimore sun.
A. least four countries claim the credit
OF the invention OF tho fan. These are
Egypt, India, China. and Japan.
ESypts claim Of priority is based upon
the ingenuity OF Cleopatra. the great lux
ury-loving Queen. 1t is said that she in
vented the fan OF peacock feathers
Watching tho royal birds as they strutted
proudly in the court. she gave orders that
the gorgeous tail feathers be converted
into fans. and forthwith the royal woman
was famed by her attendants.
A legend Of India tells Of the daughter
OF a great rajah whose flial duty il was

end is said 10 have suggested the inven-

sire uous one. A dny secret spring in
her inoffensive looking fan could so
easily have let fly a fine Posion dust, the
Issuance Of which might have completely
blinded and dishgured one whom she
was engaging in conversation.
Queen Elizabeth. OF England. was ire
mendously enamored Of the fan and de-
clared it the only gift meet from sub
ject 20 sovereign. Catherine OF Russia
must have been OF the same mind. A
story is told OF her having lost her temper
at cards and becoming so angry az one
Of her courtiers. Count Orloff when he
won her last ruble that, from having
been a great favorite. he was Inundated
in every possible way With the grace
and tact which had won for him the es-
TEEN OF the empress he expended the
entire amount OF his winning 5000
rubles, upon a magnificent fan with the
armorials and crowns Of her imperial
majesty worked in pearls. which greatly
pleased and Modified the queen.
La Pompadour was a famous collector
Of fans, the mount of one Of which is stiI

Grand MonarQue that some Of the most
beautiful examples Of fan-making we're
executed.
Fans rose and fell" with the close Of
the reign Of Louis XVI and had a renais-
sance in 1899. when the duchess Of Berri
carried one TO a dance. The fan at its
height Of favor commanded the work OF
some Of the worlds greatest artists. such
as Vatican, Leloir, Vibert, Alma Tade-
ma, Rosa Bonheur and Lefebre.

In large theatrical productions, SAYS
Harry Furniss in the August Strand
Magazine. some startling incongruities
have met my eye Miss Terry's famous
performance Of Lady Macbeth" immor-
talized by Sargents painting Of her in
that part, now hanging in the Tate gal
lery. shows her in a dress which Lady
Macbeth never could have worn. Il is
most effective and is made out Of beetles

It so happened that was present at an
interesting little dinner. at which Miss
Terry. who sat opposite to me. was ad-
miring the dress of the lady by my side
then Lady Randolph Churchill. now Mrs.
George West. Lady Randolph
wore an evening gown made OF beetles
wings. Miss Terry, directly after din
ner. asked Lady Randolph II she could
inform her where in America they could
be obtained. Lady Randolph tore off
small portion Of her gown and gave 1t
to Miss Terry. This was the specimen
out of which Mrs. Comyns Carr built the
now famous Macbeth dress which was
never seen in Scotland except on Miss
Terry

Greater New York has a population OF

FAILURE TO IDENTIFY

London. July 3O.-Evidences about the

Or. Crippen's wife.
The anatomists are stin working over
the remains, and are endeavoring TO es-
tablish the sex of the murdered person
and the cause of death. The absence OF
the head and certain organs in the body
make the investigation difficult.
An eminent surgeon says he believes
