THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL, WEDNESDAY MORNING. JUNE 10, 1891-TWELYE PAGES.

that given by previous witnesses. On cross-examination by Sir Charles Kuseel!, Gen. Williams said that on the tecond eight of the baccarrat playin? at Tranby croft ha heard the Prince of "Wales tell the plaintiff that Sir William ghould Vsep hia hands further hack, bocause he (the I"rinee) could not pee the Btakes. The general, continuing, said that he and the others who were present at Tranby croft on Sept. 8, 9 and 10 told the plaintifi that signing the contract agreemjr never to play card3 aeain was the only way out of the" difficulty, and if be did not do bo he would have to leave the house end would in addition be warned off every racecourse in England or elsewhere. This last piece of testimony caused another and more decided sensation in court. When Sir Charles Ilussell asked (Jen. Williams why he continued to address the plaintiff as "Dear Bill" after the baccarat disclosures, the witness exlained that the plaintiff" was sulTering rom an agony of mind, and that he did not wish to add to his old friend's grief. Londox, June 3. One would imarine that after two days of listening to what appeared to be intensely interesting testimony in regard to the baccarat scandal, the public would begin to tire of it on the third day. Such, however, was not the case. Interest in the scandalous revelations beinir made in connection with the prince of Wales as "banker ' at the game of cards where cheating, it is alleged, was indulged m, is still great, and on this, the third day of the trial of this cause very much cele"bre, the scenes outside of her majesty's fcigh court of justice in the new law courta on the Strand, were again repeated, with hardly any variations. The same policemen seemed to be there, the same interest manifested in the distinguished arrival at the court was displayed, and a fair amount of guying ami dialling was indulged in. At the request of Sir Charles Hussell models of the whist tables at Tranbycroft need in September for playing baccarat in default of the regular baccarat tables, with the position of the plnyersespeci ally marked upon them, were produced. Sir Charles "Russell also caused the jury to be shown photographs of the rooms at Tranbycroft where the now historical earner of baccarat were played. The jnrjmen examined those exhibits with a great deal of care; anked questions about the game, the tables, the positions of the players, etc., and conferred with each other upon several points which were raised by the prodactiou of tho exhibits. Renewed interest was shown upon the part of the always most attentive audience when Mr. Arthur Wilson, son of the nii 1ionaire owner of Tranbycroft and the leading stockholder of the well known Wilson line of steamers, plying between Hull, London and New York and many other ports, entered the witness box as the first witness for the defense. 3Ir. Wilson testified to the fact that on the first 'hignt of the baccarat playing at Tranbycroft, Sept. 8, he saw a red counter representing 5 on a piece of paper in front of tir William Uordon Cummin?. When thelattur'a tableau won, Sir William had hia hands in front of him and he lso had another 5 counter in the palm of bis right hand. The baronet, accordire to this witness, then looked at Sir Edward Somers' hand and seeing that he held a "natural" and a court card he (Sir William) at once dropped the o counter from his right hand and was paid on both of the counters he had thus placed on the table. This evidence, given by Mr. Wilson without any hesitation and in a manner which seemed to impress the jury and which decidedly did impress the audience, caused a great sensation in the court room. Continuing Mr. Wilson scid that he saw the eame thinjr repeated by Nir William the fame evening and that ho then told Mr. Levett that the baronet was cheating at cards. Mr. Levett said that it was "impossible," that the witness must be mistaken. Mr. Wileon added that be then told Mr. Levett to watch Sir William. Mr. Levett. eaid.Mr. Wilson, followed his advice and he also saw tho baronet in the manner already described. Mr. Levett, upon being convinced by personal observation that what Mr. Wilson said was true, exclaimed: "This is too hot." Mr. Wilson said that he saw Sir William cheat again. Cumming had a 5 counter on the table and directly he discovered that the card turned up was favorable to him he pushed a 2 counter forward with a pencil which he held in hid hand and was paid 7. The witness then detailed the subsequent conversation which he had with Mr. Levett in the latter's bedroom, saying that when he told the latter of what he had seen Mr. Levett exclaimed : "My God. to think of Lieut. -Col. Sir William (iordon Cumming being caught cheating at cards." Continuing the witness said: 'Tasked, What on earth are we to do?' To this Mr. Levett replied: 'For goodness' pake don't ask me. He is in my own regiment and was my own captain. What am I to do?' Later on Mr. Wilson said: "I then told my mother of what I had done, and mother said: Tor goodness' sake don't have a scandal here.' I then told her that I had a proper table prepared for baccarat playing so that a repetition of the conduct we had observed would be rendered impossible." Referring to a question on the subject, young Mr. Wilson said that there was absolutely no agreement to watch Sir William play on the second night (Sept. 9.) Tho table use ion that occasion was a long pantry table covered with green baize. As upon the previous night, the prince of Wales occupied the position of banker and Gen. Owen Williams acted as croupier. The witness believed that the plaintiff again had a paper and some of hia counters on the table. He bad other counters in the breast pocket of his dress coat. The plaintiff, added the witness, had a long, thick carpenter's pencil in his hand. In this pencil the words "Tranbycroft" were stamped. Sir William staked a 15 counter and the prince of Wales gave cards to Lady Coventry, who took a seven, which was considered a good card, from the pack. The plaintiff, according to w itwitness, looked over Lady Coventry's hand and the witness then saw Sir William's hand go out and gradually advance toward the white line marked on the baccarat table. Continuing, Mr. Wilson said, amid such breathless Eilence upon the part of everybody else in the court room that literally the dropping of a pin would have been heard, that it then came round to the prince of Wales' turn to take a card and he took one and said: "I am baccarat," the card being bad. Immediately on hearing this, said the witness, ?ir William puthed just over the line a 10 counter, four inches away from the original counter. The plaintiff's tableau won and the prince of Wales paid him a "fiver," overlooking the other counter which the plaintiff had pushed over tbe line. Thereupon Sir William exclaimed : "Beff pardon, air, there is another tener' here which you have forgotten." The prince of Wales, saying "I wish you would put your stakes forward more conipicuously. paid tho additional 10. "later in the game," said the witness, "Sir William flicked another counter over the line with his pencil. When the disclosures were made, the prince of Wales q Optioned Sir William, Mr. Berkely Levett and Mr. Lycett Green in regard to what they had seen of a wrong nature daring the playing and Mr. Green asked to be confronted with the plaintiff." Lonpox, June 4. The interest taken on this the fourth day of the Tranbycroft baccarat scandal trial was apparently as treat a that manifested on previous days.

Inside the court of justice the saine thrones were eathered, and a repetition of the now familiar scenes was witnessed. Lieut. Levett then gave a detailed account of hi visit to Sir William Gordon Cumtning's room and told of the latter's request, when the baronet aked: "Could not you say you were ruLstakeu?" To this the lieutenant said that he replied: "I would eay I was mistaken for your sake and for the sake of the regiment, but I know one man who would not do bo, and that is Mr. Berkely Green." The plaintiff replied : "You surely cannot believe this of mo?" "My answer was that I must believe my own eyes. I taw you adding counters to your stakes." "At the end of the interview between Sir William Gordon humming and myself I found that the door of ids room had been locked. Whvn tho plaintiff noticed my surprise at this proceeding he said in explanation that he did not w:sh the servants to hear our conversation and again asked me to do all I could. This I promised to do. "ubcequently," the lieutenant continued, "I received a letter from plaintifi', reminding mo of my promise to do all I could for him. After receiving a letter from the plaintiff's lawyer threatening 1gal action in the mntler I met the plaintiff in Piccadilly, and after wine preliminary conversation he said to me: 'How is it that you are ail acharne bloodthirsty against me?' "I replied acharne had nothing to do with it and said I had received a letter from the plaintiff's lawyer. The plaintiff then said: 'That does not matter. Tho c&do will not be gone on with.' " ."Hill another sensation was reserved for tht fourth day's trial. Upon the reassembling of ttie court after luncheon the foreman of the jury handed the lord chief justice a threatening and abusive note which he said lie had just received. Mr. Lycett (ireen, who had just re-entered tliH witness box, said that lie also had received a similar note. The lord chiet justice read the letter handed him by the foreman of the jury and assured him that it would receive due attention. The examination of Mr. Green was then continued. Mr. Green gave a graphic description of the events which took place during the second evening's play at Tranbvcroft. Ho Baid that when he saw the plaintiff put thj extra counters over the line when he, Sir William, saw a card favorably declared, his (Mr. Green's) first impulse was to expose the plaintifi, but as the prince of Walts and the ladies were present, ho desisted and left the room. Some time later he pent a note to Mrs. Wilson, saying: "I have distinctly seen .vir William Gordon Gumming cheating twice. I can't remain in the room any longer. Something ought to bo done to stop the game." Subsequently, said Mr. Green, be asked to be confronted with Sir William Gordon dimming, if the latter denied his guilt. London, June o. All the exhibitions theaters, musical entertainments and other such attractions have been utterly eclipsed, shadowed into almost complote neglect, by the interest whi'-h has ben taken in the gn at baccarat show which has been presented throughout this week at the ouen'f bench division of her majesty's hiu'.i court of justice. The court ha been crowded daily with the "smartest" Londoner thoe who wvre able to obtain the necessary '"season tickets" and the familiar criticisms of the English newspapers to the effect that there is considerable lack of dignity in t". S. courts have bem so weakened that they should never anain lx revned in the face of he fashionable display. U-.t ch -on exhibitions nud other scenes witnessed during the progress ot tne baccarat caso. Mrs. Wilson is a stout, pleaant facr-d lady, about fifty years of ace. She gao her testimony quietly and firmly and evidently was most painfully affected by the position in which she found herself placed. She was dressed in black silk and kept her hand, neatly gloved, on the rail of the witness box as she illustrated the precise manner in which Sir William Gordon Gumming covered up the counters with his hands. In answer to a question asked her by Sir Charh-s Kuweit to whether she had M-en Sir William (iordon Cumming cheat, Mrs. Wilson replied, with great emotion, her face flushing, "Yes, unfortuuately ; there is no doubt about it." Mrs. Arthur Wilson, replying to Sir Charles IhisseTa question, said that the was. present at Tranbycroft in the room where, on Sept. 8, the d fendantg played baccarat. Mrs. Wilson distinctly remembered her son, Arthur Stanley Wilson, looking at her with a puzzled expression in his f ice and that he afterward made a "horrible communication" to her. It was to tbe effect that ho had seen the plaintiff, Sir William (iordon Cummin?, cheat while playing cards. Mrs. Wilson then repeated in detail the evidence which has already been given as to the manner in which the baronet cheated by slipping an additional counter out of hh hand, or Hipping it across the line with a pencil when tho card turned up was favorable to him. Mrs. Wilson, in addition, was most emphatic in her declaimers that there had been any agreement entered into by the Wilson family to watch the plaintiff or play on tbe second night (Sept. '.)) of the baccarat playing at Tranbycroft. The position which Sir William Gordon Cumminf? occupied on both nights at the baccarat tables was purely the result of accident. In other words, the baronet did not choose his tiosition at the table nor was he played in his position. He simply took the seat he occupied from the fact that nobody else had previously taken a seat at that place. Continuing, Mrs. Arthur Wilt-on said that when her son told her that plaintiff was cheating ehe said: "Oh, you must not speak of it. We must not have a scandal in our house." During tbe second evening's play (Sept. Q) the witness did not notice anything until ehe received a note written by her son-in-law, Mr. Lycett Green, in form ir;g her of the facts he" had discovered. This note produced was aa follows: "I have distinctly seen Sir William (Jordon Gumming cheating twice. I cannot remain in the room any longer. Something ought to be done to stop tho game." Answering questions put to her bv leading counsel for the plaintiff Mrs. Wilson said that on the night of Sept. 8 the prince of Wales asked her if it was not poseible to provide a baccarat table for the night following. This, Mrs. Wilson explained, was before the prince knew anything of the attempted cheating on the part of Sir William Gordon Gumming. Consequently for the next (second) night's play that of Sept. 9 a freh table w as provided, but this was not done on account of Sir William (iordon Cumming, though it was hoped that its us wouid prevent a recurrence of the evidence of ttie previous niht. Tho witness' husband, Mr. Wilson, sr., she continued, bad objected to baccarat playing because in his opinion the play might become high "among hotheaded boys." Laugnter On a previous occasion, she continued, tbe sum of ."00 had got into the bank, which amount her husband thought was too large. "Why did you tell the prince of Wales that your husband obiected to baccarat?" asked Sir Edward Clarke. "liecause," replied Mrs. Wilson, "we were such a staid, non-gambling party that we did not think that there could be much harm from a quiet game at baccarat." "And," continued the solicitor-general, "although you had been told that one of your guests had been cheating, ycu eat at the next night's play?" "Yes." answered Mrs. Wilson Quietly,

"I had put it out of my mind. I had a lot of other things to think about." Mrs. Wilson, at another stage of her cross-examination, admitted in reply to Sir Edward Clarke's question, that XL'S was the highest stako which she bad played on the table during the evening's filaying, and she did not think that anyody staked even that amount until her husband did so during the second night's play. London Juno 8. Sir William Gordon Cumming decidedly had his inning3 in the baccarat game as played in court today. The court was crowded long before the opening time, and interest in the case did not seem to have diminished in the sl:ghtest degree. Lord Coleridge, the lord chief justice of England, when he took his seat on the bench, was flanked on either side by about twenty-five ladies. With the exception of the reserved epace left for the prince of Wales, and which the latter promptly occupied, the body of the court was filled with barristers, the plaintiff, the defendants, representatives of the press, the jury and a few specially favored male spectators, while the galleries were in the main part filled with fashionablydressed ladies. When Sir Charles Russell sat down, after having made a most able speech for the defense, there was a murmur of surprise, the counsel for the defendants bavin cloed his address rather unexpectedly. Hardly had Sir Charles taken his seat when the solicitor-general, Sir Edward Clarke, leading counsel for the plaintiff, took the floor, and in a few sentences tersely invited the attention of the jury, his whole manner indicat'ng that a sensation was coming. Sir Edward Clarke commenced by paying that an effort had been made to restrain the tongues of the lawyers engaged in the case from commenting upon the prince of Wales' connection with it. This remark caused a sensation, but it was nothing to what followed the further utterances of the counsel for the plaintiff. Continuing, Sir Edward intimated that the presence of the prince of Wales in court would not prevent him from making any comment necessary, saying that he, the counsel, had a painful duty to perforin and that he intended to do it honestly and fairly, ilis opponents, he continued, had always been careful to allude to him, counsel for the plaintiff, as the "Eolicitor-gen-eral," and, he added, "while I am proud of thai title, I must remind the jury that I appear in thi case simply as an English barrister, and I am obliged to disregard friendships, and even my own interests, and comment on the conduct and evidence of one of the highest in the land." Sir Edward Clarke, as he uttered these last words turned squarely around until he faced the prince of Wales, upon whom every eye in court was then fixed, and who'nervously crossed his legs, while the audienco was utterly aghast at what was considered to be the audacity of the solicitor-general. In several directions the whispered comment, "why, he is going to attack the prince of Wales," was distinctly heard, and caused all attention to bo riveted upon the plaintiff's counsel. Continuing, the solicitor-general remarked that sir Charles Russell lor the defendants had said that "even if the jury found for the plaintiff and disregarded the document the latter had signed at Tranby Croft, the military authorities would take the matter up and Sir William Cumming'g name would be stricken from the armv list." "I wish to say, in unmistakable terms," exclaimed Sir Edward Clarke, raising his voice until it echoed tellingly through the court, "that it would be impossible for the authorities to do any such thing and to ler.ve on that list the names of Field Marshal, the prince of Wales and Gen. Owen Williams." This bold statement seemed to completely take away the breath of the audience, and caused by far the greatest sensation of the entire trial. A hushed murmur of astonishment, not unmixed with dismay and some irritation, and taking several seconds, swept here and there about the court-room like breakers on a rocky co:Ft. One must thoroughly understand the almost religious worship of royalty which prevails throughout Great Uritain to clearly understand the iuil meaning, the crushing significance of tbe solicitor-general's words, aimed directly at the heir apparent. It was as if a thunder-clap had suddenly shaken the building and as if a flash of lightning had unexpectedly revealed the prince of Wales in colors, totally unexpected, like those of a common mortal, subject to the laws of England, and, according to the solicitor general's intimation, a possible violator of the military regulations to the extent that his name was liable to be struck from the array list. Amidst thin etorm the prince of Wales sit on the bench to the left of the lord chief justice immovable, not a muscle of his face, apparently, Witching, leaning his head upon his arm and endeavoring to anpear totally unconcerned. After the sensation had somewhat subsided Sir Edward Clarke, apparently satisfied with the effect he had produced, directed his attention to tho discrepancies which he had claimed between the precis drawn up at Tranby Croft, w hich accused Sir William Gordon Cumming of withdrawing as well as adding counters to those he bad previously staked at baccarat, and the statement which the Wilson family now disclaim that there was a preconcerted plan to watch Sir William Gordon Cumming on the second night of the baccarat playing. The solicitor-general pointed out that the precis was written when the events to which it referred should have been el ill fresh in everybody's memory, when tho events first occurred, and that they were endorsed as correct by the prince of Wales, by Lord Coventry and by Gen. Owen Williams, and yet, he added, now such important details as the agreement to watch the plaintiff were repudiated by the Wilson family. "What was Sir William Gordon Cumming's reason for signing the document about which so much has been said?" asked the solicitor-general, looking straight into the prince of Wales' eyes. "It was" (after an effective pause) "to save the prince of Wales." "Among the mass of the people," Sir Edward continued, uttering each word with startling distinctness, "it is known that a club or inn could be prosecuted for playing baccarat and iu a great part of the community there was a feeline that this unhappy incident ought never to have been allowed to become known, because the circumstances were those which were at variance with the feeling, with the conscience of the people. "Then there was the strange and subtle influence of royalty," still more solemnly and dramatically said the solicitor-general, "and Sir William Gordon Cumming's action in higning that document was due to tho influence- which has adorned history and which has made many a knight do an unknightly and dishonoring deed to save his King, because they gave their honor as freely as they would have given their lives for the interests of the dynasty or to conceal the foibles of a prince." A slight ripple of applause which was promptly suppressed broke out in court as the clpquent jurist uttered the last words in a most touching and impressive manner. . Op poa to AH It form. Ku"-)t1!"

SOCIAL PLANS OF ROYALTY.

ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE SUMMER. Th White Ilonse Family to Go to Capo May Point Tho Parting of Mrs. Ilarrlon with tier Daughter Mlsa .Miller's Visit so Europe Other Gossip. Bcbeac of Tub Sentinel,) No. 1418 New York-Ave., W., Washington. D. C. June 6. ) Life at the whits house has settled down' to ita usual summer routine since Mrs. Harrison and Mrs. Dimmick returned Thursday afternoon from New York. Their visit there was, of course, only to see Mrs. Mrs. McKee and Mrs. Kussell Harrison off to Europe. The entire family felt the loneliness of the parting, as it will bo really the first time Mrs. McKee has been eeparated any length of time from her parents. Now the members of the presidential family are commencing to talk about Capo May Point. Their departure for their summer house is yet only indefinitely settled, but if the weather grows warm Mrs. Harrison thinks that 6he will etart some time between the 15th and the 20th tilt. Mrs. Dimmick will, in all probability, spend the summer there aleo, and if, as Mrs. McKee thought when leaving home, she is back ak'ain by the22d of August or thereabouts, the family will all meet at tbe Cape May "Point cottage for reunion before taking their usual mountain trip. Mrs. Harrison's souvenir collection is day by day bein added to, as many things intended for presentation to her were not ready at the time of her visit, while from a good many more places have come photographs, etc., of Fcenes in which the presidential party figured. During their vi.-it to the Leland Stanford, jr., university at Palo Alto, each member of the family planted a tree at some prominent spot on the grounds. Those planted by the president and Mrs. Harrison are at the junction of four handsome avenues close to the main bui'ding. In another section Mr. Wanamaker and Secretary Kuk planted tine tree? adjacent to thoe planted bv Mrs. McKee and Mr. Russell Harrison. Each member of the party received during the past week diagrams of the grounds with the location of these favored tree marked. No one would have been any more disappointed than Mrs. Harrison herself if today the weather had not permitted the Resembling of tbe children of the district for the Marine baud concert. Little Benjamin McKee had his heart set on seeing the grounds tilled with little people to whom he wanted to give a military salute. Since he began to wear his natty sailor suits he has learned to touch bis cap in real middy style, and it give? him a preat amount of pleasure to go through tbe.se movements for his grandparent'" elderly viitorp, but ai he ie extremely companionable ho prefer those of his own fcize the best. Daniel B. Minde and Irving Blount of Indiana were two of the graduates yesterday from the naval academy at Annapolis. The former is the son of Judge Minde of Fort Wayne. The attorney general nnd Mrs. Miller will take as long a vacation as possible this Fummer to recuperate the former, who has been far from well all the past spring. Just at present all the attention of this interesting family centers on the approaching trip to Kurope of Misa Miller, , who' is the first of the group to be "ahle' .?to i see - the places in w hich all tbe rest have a kindred interest. The journey, which begins the last of this month, "will be a little out of tbe beaten roads of travel and will in all respects be an ideal one for nuch companionable young ladies as Miss Miller and Mrs. Mary ISutterworth Howe. Mr. W.'ll. fMiiitb, w ho resigned a lucrative position in the por-t ot!ice department two months a;o and went back to Indianapolis, has returned to Washington to engajre in private buBines?. Mr. and Mrs. Smith are stopping at the Langham temporarily. "Prevaricator iiiily " gave as a reason for resigning- a ?2,(KX)"pofition was that he had been offered the editorship of a leading daily in Indiana at an enormous salary. THE ACCIDENT OF BIRTH.

James Wood, a poor carppnter of this city, some time ago fell heir to ?200,003 of tho great Wood estate in England. The property comes through his grandfather, an English naval oiiicer, who married a girl at Waterford, Ireland, whom he left the day after the wedding and never saw again. The fact that Wood was the heir was only discovered by accident. He is now on his way home with his fortune. HORRIBLY MANGLED. Tbree Men Killed n.l Ooe Injured toy av Dynamite Eiploslon. CnATTANoooA, Tenn., June 6. A horrible casualty occurred at the Chattanooga blast furnace this evening at 7:30.

Fatrona of ball games had been worked up to intense interest in the coming of the Peoria There's a good deal of guarantee business in the store keeping of to-day. It's too excessive. Or too reluctant. Half the time it means nothing. Words only words. This offer to refund the money, or to pay a reward, is made under the hope that you won't want your money back, and that you won't claim the reward. Of course. So, whoever is honest, in making it. and works not on his own reputation alone, but through the local dealer whom you know, must have something he has faith in back of the guarantee. The business wouldn't stand a year without it. What is lacking is confidence. Back of that, what is lacking is that clear honesty which is above the "average practice." Dr. Pierce's medicines are guaranteed to accomplish what they are intended to. do, and their makers give the money back if the result isn't apparent. Doesn't it strike you that a medicine which the makers have so much confidence in, is themedicineor you?

Two hundred thousand dollars' worth of the wardrobe of Emma Abbott, what is left after many sales and gifts in Chicago, is to be offered for eale in this city by Mrs. Lizzie Abbott Clarke, sister of the late actress. Mr. Clarke came bere from Chicago a few days ago, bringing this co lection of rare and varied costumes in immense trunks. She fcaa enlaced a suite of rooms at the HoSfman house and will conduct the eale at that place through personal invitations. Last evening Mrs. Clarke, ho bears a etrikinz resemblance to her famous s i6ter, talked about her fi-ter and the wardrobe, "l'irst, I would Lke to eay," ehe began, '"that the reported burning of a portion of Emma's wardrobe af:er her death laft "December, by vrder of the hea.th authorities', is absolutely untrue, and Us only foundation is the fact that the clothes and linen of tbe sick room were destroyed as they should be in cape of pneumonia. The entire personal and f tae wardrobe of my eister was bequeathed to me. What remains of tha stage costumes could not have cost lets than $200,U). They are, of course, only the latest and finest, for Emma 'put to sleep' every year, a ehe used to eay, thousands of do.lars' worth of clothes by giving them away at the end of the eeaon. Krery Sfawn ehe made an out'.ay ot not less than V.i.txiO for new costume. I have with ma about 1)0 aietinct cos-tume. Each dress has a particular name and many have incidents connected wilh them. There i", for instance, the 'Chickusaw' dress., named at er a southern regiment in Memphis during her season there which was worn with her famous 'Rising Sun' mantle. The entire weight of this costume is 150 pounds. I dnn't miud showinz you the mantle, because 1 intend to keep it 89 an heirloom. Here it i.." The garment appeared indeed a marvel. It is of a dark blue velvet, solidly and entirely embroidered w ith beads and threads of go.d and bilver and other metal.-?, in such a way as to represent one grand rising sun and eleven miniature suns. Its size in enormous end its weight ia at least seventy-five pound. "Every cne of Emma's B'.ai'e dresses was made either by Worth or Felix." continued Mr. Clarke. "There aro the costumes of nearly every piece that my sister appeared in, including thort as well as trailing dreeses. Th latest madt! up of the costumes were worn in 'Anne Uoleyn.' ' That one worn in the second act cost $4,(KX and is an elaborate fac simile of the iueen Anne costume exhibited in the louvre. It is a jink satin, solidly embroidered with jewels in front, the train of moss-green brocaded plush, bordered with 1ink applique. There are the sapphire due velvet hunting dreis worn in the third act, the ruby dress for the first ac t and tho whit chiffon trimmed with giiijmre lace. These are the Louis Blanc dresses, the 'Ernani,' the 'Carmen,' 'Kose of Castile.' and so on. "There ha been so muc h talk about Emma's costume, in which she was cremated, that I will tell exactly what it was. It was the live-thousand-dollar lilae dress that she wore in 'Ernani' the last time ehe appeared on the stage. It was made by Felix, r,nd was of heliotrope velvet and tha heaviest white brocaded satin, bordered with white and lavender lilacs and green velvet. The cremation of Emma's body was kept eecret on account of my mother. A portion of tbe veii worn by pister at the funeral has been cut into sma'l pieces and distributed as souvenirs among ber friends. It tvas the jrold thread in this veil, the ether part of which was over her face when placed in the retort, that produced the globule of gold found in her ashes. The veil was the one so often kissed in the balcony sceue in 'Komco and Juliet.' " WILL STANO BY DR. BH1GGS. The Directors of Union Sm nu; Io Not AckDostltdge the Assembly's Authority.
