Thoso rumors wore antoneath thosnrf uco,
howovor, and It wan only recently mado
public that Mr. and Mrv Vandcrbilt havo
decided on a separation, tho story has id
that a dlvoroo was only narrowly averted,
and that in.otrasidcrntlon of tho unpleas
ant notoriety that would onano,. Tho pub.
licity has ooino, however, and thodivorco
may follow, although friends of tho family
aro making every- effort to prevont it.
Immediately after the breaking up of tho
yachting party at Nice, Mrs. Vandorbilt,
with hoi children, wentr to England and
established bersolf at Danosfleld, tho beau
tiful estate of Scott Murray, on tho
Thames, the property having been rented
for her. Mr. Vandorbilt went to Paris,
where ho onjoyod totho full .tho plonsuro
his wealth brought within his grasp, and
his reckless expenditures made Parisians
open -tholr eyes In wonder.. Ono of tbo out
lets for his purse, it is Bald, was a villa,
furnished at a tremendous cosb, ovor which
a woman known- to' ail Paris' as tbo
''Queen" prosidod.
: Now Xorbers recently returned' from
London-and Paris describo tho swath that
tills rich man Is cutting as a vldo ono, and
ono that ho is taking no pains to-conccnl.
"As an ovldcncoiof his surprising rock

Grand Prl on, Juno'17, just after ho had
won 40,000 francs. Ho was so favorably
impressed with her that ho, so it isreport
d, presented herwltlvhls winning so pub
licly that many of his friends saw what
he-was doingwmd afterward remonstrated
(With him."

lady's father, who,it Is' said, had other
plans-regarding, her -marriage, hurried to

a published interview thus tells tho story
of his courtship: "I met Miss Sanford at

Miss Sanford was sent for by bcr grandfa

BARON VOX K0TZJ3.
Iaccd" giutcrs." Ilo w do I'kho wtTiTs? ' asks
tho Berlin correspondent of tho Now York
Journal. It is an open secret now, and
much moro which may not bo mentioned
horo.
Horr Baron vonJCotzo is captain in tho
kalsor's gnord and chief master of ceromo
nies In William's household. Ho isasolon
of an old famfly and a man of command
ing prosunco. For moro than eight months
past high gcntlemon and nubia ladles in
tho ImmcdiatoontQurago of tho emperor
havo received anonymous lotters almost
dally, in proso and verso, intimating cor-
tain charges against somo one nearest and
dearest to tho recipient.
Thus ono letter sold that tho Princo ot
R , ono of tho foremost nobles and fast
friend of tho ctmperor, had divulged a se
cret talk with his royal master. Another
letter, this timo sont to Count X, in
flippant language mado shocking charges
against his beautiful wife. A walk in tho
Grunewald was tortured Into a lovo affair
with Baron Z a .strapping colonel in
tho Guard Lhlans. Countess von Y
was told In a scandalous letter, that her
husband had clinked, glasses in private
with Baronoss J , n beauty at court
and lady la waiting on hor majesty.
Count Z it also basely charged, had
lavished affection on a. pretty Hoi stein
chombormnld, instead of' currying homo
his lovo. So tho letters went on, libeling,
scandalizing, sotting good people by tho
cars.
All sortfl of charges and insinuations
continued to arrivo dally for members of
tho emperor's immediate circle. It was
reportod, for Instance, that Count X
had petitioned tho cuiperor for a trunsfci
to another post on account of tho charge
In tho scandalous letters. Tho interview
between tho emperor and the count, it was
given out, had been overheard by the
Princess of Ploss, who could not keep the
Bccret, and in turn gavo it away to othci
ladles of tho court circle. Count X '6
persecutions woro not to end ovon thero.
Another disgraceful letter mado tho dis
gusting chargo that Ids wlfo, whoso boun
ty is almost lncomparablo at tills court,
had boon In tbo habit ot posing In undress
condition boforo a select number of inti
mate frionds, not always particular about
tho sex.
Tho chambermaids also had got into tho
secrets of tho anonymous, lotters, as oharu
bormaids usually do, and from theso to
tho laokoys It traveled on and down to the
pages nnd porters, increasing in volumo
and color.
Count X had already sont his sec
onds with a peremptory chullongo to Bor
on von Kotae, but was prevented by tho
prompt Intervention of tho emperor.
Moan whllo those defamatory letters con
tinued to lncreoso, somo of them dircotly
attacking tho Princess of A , a beauty
in her day, but now rather passco. She
was reported to havo spread stories reflect
ing on tho princess and a foreign aiubae
sudor accredited to tills oourt, report says
Count B of Italy a most delicate and
ticklish story. By this a direct reflection
was cast on tho omporor's own fumily and
might have thrown two countries Into nn
unfortunate war.
Thon, again, and perhaps worst of all,
a vilo letter camo Infamously oharglng
that tho emperor's own audinfallibloGon
oral von C had been looking deep
into tho affection of ono of tho eanpross'
own ludies in waiting. Another lettot
kindly informed tho husband of tho latter
that his wlfo had spent many agrocabla
hours on tho bespangled bosom of the gal
lant general, or vloo versa, which amounts
to tho somo thing.
Llko burning lava, all this had been boil
ing qulotly slnoo lust January, and tho po
lice woro unablo to plcrco tho mystery,
Many dlplomatlo changes had been made
both startling to tho principals and sur
prising to the public. Evon the president
of East Prussia and until recently grand
master of the imperial court and house
hold, Princo Stolbcrg, than whom thero
is not a higher noble In tho German list,
had resigned, it was said, on account of
certain political manipulations both ques
tionable and disgraceful.
. Finally Baron von Kotzo was arrested;
but, strangely enough, even during tho
baron s incarceration, the fatal letters con
tinned to arrivo In tho imperial camp with
undiminished regularity. The baron was
acquitted after a secret rvhd and has re
tired permanently from politics, thorough
ly disgusted with the vicissitudes of life
at court. .
Moan whllo tho searohfortho mysterious
ripper of reputations continues and seems
to bo os far lycm euccesa as even Whilo
no two ogres on-the samo theory, every
body has made up his rnlnd" there's a woJ
inan In the case."

It SoUnds.XIke.an Oriental Version of Our
Jack the Giant Killer.
Onca.oa a timo an old womaa waa
washing clothes in a river, Sho was lean
ing ovor tho wr.tcrwhon sho saw a bis
ponoh oorrra tumbling and splashing down
thorivor. Shodrnwltashoro wlthaploco

in two, one portion to bo for hor husband
and tho other for herself, whon a child
jumped ont of tho kornol. Tho old eouplo
rejoiced jit sight of tho boy nnd named him
Momotaro, or Littlo Peachling, because ho
came out of the peach. Thus begins a
Japanoso fairy tnlo that is in a manner
suggeative of our "Jack the Giant Kill

Mamotaro grew big and lusty, nnd tho
old eouplo bestowed great euro on his edu
cation. In timo ho excelled everybody in
strength, and bo then determined to cross
ovor to an island inhabited by devils,
seize their riches and live In caso.
Ho started alono for tho Island. As ho
loft the houso his foster mother put somo
dumplings into his pouch. On tho way
ho mot a dog, who agreed to go along and
help If Momotaro would glvo him a dump

pheasant camo along and offered tiicir serv-
ices on the same condition. Then all four
hurried toward tho island. Momotaro and
his throe followers broko through tho gate
and found themselves in tho midst of a
great multitudo of devils. Momotaro con
quered them all and then had a lively tus
slo with their cblcf, Akandojl. Akandojl
came at Momotaro with an iron club, hut
ho was orushed and tied with a ropo. Then
the chief of the devils sued for peace, whllo
the dog and tho monkey and tho pheasant
sat near by. Momotaro mado Akandojl
give up all his riches, and with theso and
his (hrco companions, to whom ho nttnb

A Miraculous Escape
This is how Frederick Simons of Phila
delphia describes his romarkublo experi
ence in being run down by an express
train: "Tho road lending tip to tho truck
la on incline, and my horso necessarily
slowed up. Just ns ho got an tho tracks
I heard tho nolso of tho train, and looking
out 60W it earning. It was only 80 feet
away, and to mo it looked as big as the
frolghthoiiBO. I must havo instinctively
pulled my horso back on his haunches,
nnd tho engine struck him obout'tho-middle
of his body. Ho was thrown about CO
foet and horribly crushed and mangled,
whilo tho earrings and I landed about 40
feet away. I was thrown up In tho air,
and tho carriage, which was a surrey bug
gy, started to rovolvo. Tho sensation re
minded me of what a man must feel who
is being rolled over and over In a barrel.
In somo way I managed to stay In the car
riogo. For a momwit I lost consciousness.
When tho carriage landed, I fell facedown
and was apparently nil right. Bystanders
hardly knew what had bcoomo of mo, but
hastened to overturn tho carriage, wliioh
was lying over mo. They oxpected to find
mo lying dead, but to their surprise I got
up and walked around."
