Mrs. Atherton, English Di vorcee With Notorious - Past, Goes Abroad. .: MOURNS DEATH OF SON Threw British War Office Into Tur- moil by Her Doings In Pretoria During Boer War Gossip of European Capitals. BY THE COUNTESS OF BLANKSHIRB. (Special Cable to the Central News and The Oregonlan.) LONDON, Aug. 18. Mrs. Atherton, one of the principals In the society divorce suit which caused such a sensation here a few weeks ago, has left England for a lengthy tour abroad. Her objective point Is Japan, though, as she is traveling via tha United States, she will spend some time visiting New York and other cities and points of 'Interest en route. The divorce, it will be remembered, was granted to the husband. Colonel Ather ton, C. B., formerly commanding that crack cavalry corps, the Prince of Wales' Royal Twelfth Lancers. Captain Yarde Buller, formerly aide-de-camp to Lord Curzon of Kedleston, and heir to a peer age, was the co-respondent. Society is now wondering whether Cap tain Yarde-Buller will marry the divorcee when she returns from her travels. Mrs. Atherton is a very pretty matron. She was one of the best-dressed women of England, and, having an Income of some J12.000 a year, gave very smart and ex clusive little parties. Mrs. Atherton, al though few people know it, shares with Lady St. Hellers, formerly Lady Jeune, the distinction, if it can be so called, of being one of the chiefs of the petticoat reign of the War Office during the Boer War. She was decidedly the heroine of the war's greatest scandal. Aristocratic Camp-Followers. Soon after the first year of the war, society women flocked out to South Africa to see their husbands, sons, lovers and brothers. Officers who should have been at the front, dawdled about Cape Town. Yet it was deadly dull there, and soon some of the smartest of the ladles went to the front. Mrs. Atherton was in the lead. She was in Pretoria a short -time after the British army. Through her in fluence at the War Office she did some marvelous things. One of these was to secure the best house in town, and an other to have furniture and supplies of all kinds shipped to her from the coast on transports and trains which should have been carrying shells or food for the army. Mrs. Atherton quickly transformed her house into the home of a society woman, with silken hangings and other exquisite surroundings. She wore dainty frocks of London and Paris. At her luncheon and dinner parties all sorts of delicacies were served up by an irreproachable chef. It is little wonder that officers flocked around her. They, for a year and a half, had seen no white woman of high degree, their couches had been the bare .veldt, and their meals had the sameness of canned beef and wealled biscuit. Duty and all other matters concerning the grim war, still going on, were com pletely forgotten by officers, from subal terns to generals. They led the butterity existence of society in the Atherton gar dens. The scandal became so great that newspapers correspondents wrote about it to their London papers. But Mrs. Ather ton's influence at the War Office was paramount, and her gay entertainments and doings in the land of stern martial law were not at all checked. Woman Enslaves Boy Duke. The favorite cavalier at this time was the young Duke of Westminster. His mother looked higher than Miss Sheila Cornwallis-West: m fact, a royal mate had already been spoken about for the wealthy boy peer, who had lust come Into his own. So he was virtually shipped to South Africa to do staff duty during the war and to forget the beautiful Sheila. And he met Mrs. Atherton and became her slave. When this became known in London there was furious cabling to Pre toria, general assaults by the noblest women in England's peerage on the War Office, the Prime Minister and the whole Cabinet. The government was as much worried by these social squabbles as by the conduct of the war. The Duke was ordered home. He refused and preferred to resign his commission. Finally, he was lured home by reports of illness of those near and dear. ' He hurried by the first steamer available. All the other un taken cabins were bought by "is friends, yet at the 'last moment, Mrs. Atherton ap peared and sailed as a passenger. Weds First Love After All. The storm broke in earnest when the steamer arrived in England. The upshot was that the Duke married his first love. Miss Cornwallis-West, in rather a hurry, and that Mrs. Atherton retired to one of her little estates in Ireland. Much sym pathy was expressed for her. She seemed a changed woman since her little son and heir was killed before her eyes by a horse maddened with fright at a performing bear, whose antics the son was watching. Now, although Mrs. Atherton is slightly older than Captain Yarde-Buller. her friends 6ay she will be married within the year. Mrs. Atherton is traveling under an as sumed name, with a woman companion and a maid. She has friends among the "400," but it is understood that she will scarcely go to Newport or accept any social Invitations while In the United States. Xew Definition of American Woman. I notice the very latest expression on American women. It comes all the way from Vienna, and has been extensively quoted In Paris and here. The Neue Frele Presse, in an article on Americans, says: "The American woman is made for flirt ing, the Parisian for love. An American woman Is a Parisian frozen on ice." The very latest fad is to have one's portrait engraved on a medallion. The craze for the miniature is passing, and the craze for medallions in gold, silver and bronze is coming on fast. On the Continent portraits engraved on silver are all the rage. The cost of a well-engraved port! Is from 1200 to J300. so that the fashion will be rather exclusive. Belgian Yellow Journal Calls Upon the King to Abdicate. BRUSSELS. Aug. 18. The moi extraor dinary rensatlon Belgium has had In its history is now in full swing. A prominent daily newspaper of socialistic tendencies, copying American methods, dally calls on the King to abdicate, and also urges the plain people to rise up in their wrath and virtuous Indignation and see that he abdicates, or take him from the throne by force. The paper also dally gives the reasons why a new King Is wanted in Belgium. It publishes each day a chapter of the King's past life, giving in the fullest detail, backed up by the necessary proof, the story of his shameful deeds and his many amours. Strange to say, fac-slmlles of official and' semi-official, as well as private, papers are published, giving the proof of many of the state ments. This shows that the paper's ac tion Is supported In high quarters; other wise these papers could scarcely have been procured. The country Is struck dumb with the revelations. The King has as yet taken no action, and everybody is wondering what will happen. With the upper classes the King Is very popular, but the growl of the plain people is already very om inous. The revelations have brought to light many things about King Leopold which had not been dreamed of even by the worst gosslpers. ' Many of his amours have been the talk of the civilized world for years, but there seem " to be plenty that were secret until today. The King's latest mistress is an American or En glish woman named Vaughan, whom the King has created a Baroness. She is a very beautiful woman, and has borne the King a child recently, of whom he is in ordinately proud. The Baroness lives In a delightful house opposite the palace, and the King has had a subterranean passage made into this house from his private apartments in the palace. The revelations are con tinuing, and it may be a good many days yet before the shameful history, the most fartllng in modern times in Europe, is finished. PALACE OF SOVEREIGNS GOXE Gift of Rich American Dentist to French Government Razed. PARIS, Aug. 18. An American's gift to France is no more. The old Palace of Sovereigns, formerly the property of the famous American dentist. Dr. Evans, and presented by him to the government, has Just been torn down. Contractors are now at work building a block of dwelling houses on the property. From these the government will get a revenue. The Pal ace of Sovereign was latterly a white elephant. The palace was a historical abode. When Dr. Evans was dentist to Napoleon III and amassing a great fortune he bought it and lived there. It was in this palace that the Empress Eugenie dwelt when she left the Tuileries in 1870. Sub sequently It was utilized for the accom modation of royal guests to the city. The King of Sweden and the Shah of Persia were the last occupants. The Shah made an awful mess of the place, and before the palace could be freshened up another royal visitor arrived. He was lodged at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and this was found such a good place that it has been utilized ever since. So the old pal ace was doomed, and the first day of the present month saw a gang of demollshers at work. The palace was in the Bols de Boulogne. GERMAN DOG-TIIIEVES BUSY Pet Poodles Stolen and Eaten Hides Make Fine Leather. BERLIN. Aug. IS. The quickest way to lose a dog nowadays Is to take It to Germany. The police are frantic at the number of appeals which come to them daily from distracted women who have lost their pet dogs. Dog stealers are abroad and doing a lively business. The demand for dogs Is. simply wonderful. The cause of ail this is, now that the general public has tasted dog moat they have found it so good and of such a delicate flavor that they want It in preference to other meat. So doggie la now a prime favorite at the butcher's, and the price is going up. Then, again, the tanners. having so many dog-skJns of late, have been ex perimenting with It, and find that it makes the best leather for the manufac ture of articles of luxury. The skins that are prepared and not tanned are sold for bedcovers under the name of Thibet goatskins. - FLIXG BOOTS AT JUDGE. Thirty Thieves Create Scene In Alge rian Criminal Court. PARI9. Aug. 18. Word comes from Al giers of a scene in the French court when some SO thieves were brought up for sen tence. The presiding Judge had Just sen tenced the prisoners to from six months to a year, when a notorious thief, named Michel, flung a boot at the bench. It hit the presiding Judge squarely on the nose, making the blood spurt. This was a sig nal to the other prisoners, for immediate ly a storm of boots, caps and other arti cles hurtled through the air, and amid the confusion the band of thieves made a dash for liberty. The gendarmes had to draw their swords before order could be restored: All the prisoners were caught and lined up again before the Judges. who gave them all three years more at hard labor for committing an outrage on the magis tracy. AMERICAN TIPS TOO SMALL. London GuldcsC'ompIain of Gratui ties They Now Receive. LONDON. Aug. 18. Guides in London are complaining of the tips given them by American visitors. They declare that the visitors must have gone on the Con tinent before coming to England, for over there the tips are small, from the fact that everybody one meets expects some thing, even if It is the smallest of copper coins. One guide who piloted a party to see the sights of Fleet street laBt week, after showing them the "Cheshire Cheese" received a tip of a halfpenny (one cent), and half an hour later he took Ave Americans girls to the same place and received a farthing (half a cent) as a tip. He says the shock was so great that he had to stop work and lean on a bar for support and drink beer for the rest of the day. Depends on Conciliating Con servative Democracy.

Speech at Xew York Reception and Fall Elections Will Decide Ques tion Whether Entire Party Will Support Him, OREGONIAN NEWS) BUREAU. "Wash ington, Aug.' 18. The Bryan reception in New York on August 30 and the events of the ensuing three months will proba bly determine whether Bryan is to be nominated for a third time, and, if so, whether he will lead a dismembered or a reunited party. While a tremendous amount of Bryan enthusiasm has been manifested since the beginning of Sum mer, there is as yet nothing to Indicate whether this clamor comes, from all man ner of Democrats or is made entirely by the men who followed Bryan in his two fateful campaigns. It la Impossible to tell whether Democrats who voted for McKln ley In 1896 and 1900 are now willing to vote for . Bryan, or whether they will again In 1908 vote the Republican ticket or remain away from the polls. Ther are isolated cases, it is true, where new Bryan converts have been made, but there has been no general change, sofar as known. Many Still Distrust 11 Lin. The truth is, conservative Democrats and gold Democrats, the men most anx ious for party success, are not in any hurry to mount the Bryan bandwagon. They want to know more about the man and his policies before they commit them selves. If he is willing to forget the past and become a thoroughly up-to-date can didate, there is prospect that a great many, if not most, of the bolters of 1S96 and 1900 will return and support Bryan, for they recognize his strength above other men mentioned as Democratic pos sibilities, and they would be glad to sup port him if he could reunite the party on sound Issues. But from all that has been said abroad, the Inference Is drawn that Brytin has not changed, but that he still cifngs to his belief in free silver and would, if elected, use his Influence to se cure the enactment of a free-silver law such as he advocated when he was before the people on two previous occasions. He has given the Impression that Re would place other issues ahead of the money question, it is true, but the fear still lin gers in the hearts of gold Democrats that Bryan, once elected, would force the financial question to the front. Will Declare Himself in Speech. That is why the conservatives are hold ing back. But they expect to learn the facts when Bryan lands. He is scheduled to make a master speech in New York and to outline his position on all tha big Issues, including the money question. It Is understood that he will set at rest all speculation as to how he now regards 18 to 1 and the other "isms" which he ad vocated six and ten years ago. Bryan is a remarkably frank man; he makes his position clear and fights In the open for the cause to which he is pledged. That is why a frank statement is expected at New York, and if such a statement Is made the people will know in an instant whother there is a new Bryan or whether the popular Idol has undergone no change since last he appeared in the campaign. Issue in Fall Election. There are many Democrats who would vote for Bryan if he promised to merely leave 16 to 1 in the back ground; others will bolt unless he re pudiates that Issue. The former class will be large or small according to the record made by the Democrats in the Congressional campaign this Fall. Blnce Chairman Griggs of the Demo cratic Congressional committee is to confer with Bryan and conduct the campaign along lines pointed out by the Nebraskan, it is reasonable, in a measure, to look upon the results this Fall as an expression of the people on Bryanism as expounded In New York. More than two months before the elec tion Bryan's views will be known to every voter In the land and since Griggs proposes to follow Bryan's ad vice he Is really making- the election this year a test vote on Bryan. While it may not be a fair test in every siaiu, especially in states that are unusually wrought up over local Issues, It will in many states correctly determine whether . Bryan is gaining or losing or holding his awn. This is particu larly true of the ten Western states that voted for Bryan in 1896. but which have since become Republican. The West Is bigr enough to sway a Presi dential election now and Bryan need ( tne West If he Is to be elected Presi dent in 1908. If the Democrats carry the West this Fall, there will be good reason for believing that Bryan is strong in that section and can carry it in 1908, but, if the West refuses to switch back into the Democratic col umn. It may be sot down that the West Is not as enthusiastic over Bryan as It was In Ihe past. Victory Would Solidify Party. Ia case the Wrest goes Democratic, which is not at all likely, many Dem ocrats who bolted Bryan In his two previous campaigns will be very apl to return to the Democratic ranks by 1908. There Is a big class that wanU to see tle party win and is ready to vote for any candidate who seems to have sufficient strength to carry the party to victory. A Democratic vic tory this Fall would indicate that ths party is reuniting, and that under Bryan's leadership it might present a solid front by 190S. But, on the other hand, the election of another Republi can House of Representatives by a fair majority would Indicate to thesr conservative Democrats that Bryanism Is not the means of bringing together the Democratic factions, and a larg element among the conservatives would refuse to indorse Bryan in 1908. To win In 1908 Bryan must have reunited party behind him. and noth ing would do more to reunite the par. ty than a Democratic victory this No vember, when it was known In ad vance that the fight was being mads along lines laid out by the "peerless leader." That Is probably what Griggs had in mind when he arranged an in terview with Bryan in New York.
