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.

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.
