THE MORNING AS IORI AN. ASTORIA, OR EGO?. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 18,1903, W 111 1 z. - 1 1 1 1 Gossip About Few People Prominence4 of Harry Lehr, Entertainer of th Smart Set Ida Tarbell and Standard Oil Speaker Low 1 ther Magistrate Deuel of New York. ARRY LEHR, the society man who has been de scribed aa "court jester to the American royal ty of Sew York and Newport," Is In the midst of his busy season. Mr. I-ehr origi nally won popu larity In the smart eet by what some are wont to call his originality." His entrance In to select circles was coincident with his some what eccentric adventure in wading In a fountain at mid night beneath the rays of the moon with Mrs. Frederick C.eb bard. It was not emit lxhh. long afterward that be startled the more staid members of Newport society by playing dolts with noted co da leaders and assisting Mrs. Stuyre sant Fish and Mrs. Hermann Oelrlcbs to escort a rag doll through the atreets of the fashionable summer city. Some fhls adventures were more strenu Cbs. Once he had a fight with a bear a an. ocean steamship. On preparing to retire he discovered the bear oc cupying the berth In hla .stateroom, and, supposing It to be an animal that had escaped from confinement on the deck below and wandered to his apartment, he gave a cry and ran with more baste than dignity to the eabin. It transpired that bruin was stuffed and bad been placed in Mr. Lebr's berth as a Joke. Senator John T. Morgan of Alabama is eighty-one years of age and Sen ator E. W. Pettus, the other Alabami an in the senate, Is eighty-four. Both are lawyers and ex-Confederate vet erans. The most ardent baseball "fan" in the diplomatic corps in Washington is his excellency Sir Cbentung Liang Cheng, who is spending the summer at Amherst, Mass. Thirty years ago the Chinese minister to the United States was a resident of Amherst while pre paring for Phillips academy at Ando-.--rer, and the late Senator Hoar in "In troducing the diplomat from the orient was fond of allud ing to him as one of his constituents. While the young eiestlal was pursu ing Ins studies at the academy at An "over he demoted much thought and enthusiasm to the ifDce of baseball. Qe was considered "at the time a star nlarer. He was the BIB CHE5TU50 LIA50 CHE50. hero of a game with rbillips Exeter academy In 1881 and made a three base hit with two men on bases. This rave the Andover team a commanding lead. The minister has never forg3tten this "three bagger." Ilia oldest boy, Master Ardee, a stocky, round headed youngster promises to be quite as fa mous a baseball player as hti father. The Chinese minister regrets that sports are not more popular in China. Ue believes that strenuous games are a good thing to develop manhood and hopes to see them introduced In his na tive country. JIIss Ida M. Tarbell is ever ready for the fray when ft comes to a battle with the Standard Oil company 01 Its founder and chief representative, John D. Rockefeller. She was called n by Mr. Itockefeller's attorney to explain or retract some of her state ments in a recent magazine article, and the way in which she compiled with the request did not leave the case much better for the oil trust magnate. MIsb Tarbell Insists that, however good as business policies the Standard Oil methods may be, they cannot be made to tally with the Golden Rule, the fouu eation principle of the faith to which Mr. Rockefeller claims to be at tached. Miss Tar- bell's friends pre dict that she will be the Nemesis of nnrkefeller and ofn.i nn n tho mUUUHlU Va l end of the chapter. Much of the se cret of this writer's success as a bisto rlan Is said to lie in HISS IDA V. TAR BELL. the thoroughness irlth which she does her work. When she determined to devote her talents to historical writing, slio went to France and for three years studied hard under the foremost French authorities dB his tory, snpKrtlng herself meanwhile by writing for American publications. Jeo a jecAat cajne to her to write jdt Hn & , afc - ',-. a nre r.raroieoo tor an American publisher and be ready in thirty days with the first Installment, she had the courage to accept the commission. To uiuBy it might have seemed like fools stepping in where angels fear to tread, but eveutt proved that Miss Tarbel! wus by no means unequal to the task. James William Lowther, the new sieaker of the British house of com mons. Is a member of oue of Great Britaln'a oldest families. Wheu Qneeu Elisabeth waa reigning Sir Richard Lowther, n ancestor of the speaker, was high sheriff of Cumberland, and even then he waa the thirtieth knight in succession. The speaker's brother, Gerard Lowther, was formerly secre tary of the British legation at Wash ington and Is uow England's minister to Morocco. Speaker Lowther Is nota ble as an apostle of the policy of pro tection, which In England la kuown aa fair trade, as opposed to free trade, the traditional economic policy of Euglaud. He occupies a unique position in that he la the first Con servative apeakerof the house of coin mous In seventy two years. Mr. Lowther waa bortt lu 1853 and educated at Eton, King's college, Lon don, and Trinity college, Cambridge. He haa been a member of parlia ment for twenty years and repre sented Great Brit JAXE WIU.1AM LOWTHKB. ain at the international conference in Venice In 1892. He will hold office un til the dissolution of the parliament In which he waa elected and, though nom inated by the government, is regarded aa an officer of the house and draws a large salary. In England the apeaker ou taking office Is allowed 15,000 to de fray the cost of hls robes, wigs and other frills and fixings. In addition to this, the nation makes him a present of 2.000 ounces of silver plate for his ta ble and two hogsheads of claret for his cellar. The master of the buckbounds is required to provide him with a good fat buck and doe. The Cloth workers' company yields him an annual tribute of a "width of good broadcloth." Rent free, he occupies as his official home a lordly residence at Westminster palace. ... Justice Joseph M. Deuel of New, York, whose name has beeu conspicu ously mentioned In counectiou with scandals growing out of the sale of a book entitled "Fads and Fancies of the Four Huudred," is a city magistrate and has been a prominent member of the New York bar for a quarter of a century. He is one of the principal stockholders lu Town Topics, a weekly publication, and receives a sal ary for work done in the Town Topics of fice. Edwin M. Post, a New York broker, alleges that Charles H. Able, who bore Joseph u. wra. 1 jitter from the managing editor of Town Topics, en deavored to compel blm to pay $500 for a copy of the book under penalty of seeing a scandalous story about him self published In Town Topics. Post paid Able five marked $100 bills, and Able was at once arrested by a police man wbo had been an Invisible specta tor of the interview. Justice Deuel has made a good magistrate, it Is said, and Is given much credit for the part be played in securing the establishing of the children's court In New York, which has been a very successful fea ture of Judicial work in the eastern metropolis. George Bernard Shaw, the famous Irish playwright, critic and novelist, la a strict vegetarian. Hla athletic recre ations are cvclinff and swimming. His plays. "Candida" and "John Bull'a Oth er Island," have been very auccessful. Judge James B. Dill, who gave up an Income of $300,000 a year from corpora tion clients to accept a salary of $3,000 as a member of the New Jersey court of errors and appeals, occupies a unique position. He Is famed as a trust lawyer and has participated In the formation of some 700 large cor porations, and on that account the ac tion of Governor Stokes in appointing him a iudM waa criticised In some quarters, bnt, on the other hand, sev eral representatives of powerful cor porations were strongly opposed to bis appointment, this opposition being based on a belief that his course aa a Judge would be antagonistic rather than favorable to their Interests. It Is said that as a cor poration lawyer Mr. Dill became con vinced that combi nations of capital had grossly abused their privileges and ought to be regu lated. In order to participate in some to an end tne metn- ods of "hleu finance" wniu nave " aroused so much criticism ne was win ins to forego the large profits of n private practice and become a Judjfe drawing the comparatively modest saui of $3,000 per annum. The chaage puts him in a position where he must pass upon the misdemeanors of corpora tions he has himself created Judge Dill, bis wife and his daugn tera are all enthusiastic Automebillsts. So fond of the sport are all four mem bera of the family, In fact, that when they were lost In the Adlrondacka last summer their chief, concern waa la 0 their three big touring care. Judge Dill himself drives on of the automo biles, his elder daughter the other and a groom the third. They are now ou a tour which will cover a large part of the northwestern states.
