NOTICE.
The former Countess de Cantellate arrived in this country last Thursday. The first thing she did wax to give a categorical denial to the report that she intended marrying the Prince de Sagan, who, having eluded 'his friend the marquis, was pursuing her across the broad CAtlantic
thed of the Duke of the Abruzzi's adventures, sprang a beautiful sensation upon the public." The Prince de Sagan, instead of crosping into week, came on through Canada, arriving in America via Florida, landed at Halifax fast New York by the Montreal express on Satur day. At least, that was the route taken by a gentleman resembling the prince, and calling himself "Monsieur Thompson," but with De Sagan on his luggage.
MYSTERIOUS DINNER PARTY.
The reporters soon cottoned on to the fact that a mysterious foreigner who was concealing his identity was staying'el aʼsmall hotel a stone's throw from the Waldorf. Last night he took a taximaler to the house of Mr. Tyler Morse. Two veiled ladies arrived at the same lime in a motor-car. They were Mme. Anná Gould and Miss Helen Gould,··

They rone to the occasion famously, with the result that there is practically soother news, to-day, outside the advent of Count de Castellane's rival, →→→→, and, let me add, the oddly-expressed disclaimer on the part of one of the ladies who attended the dinner, Miss Helen Gould issued the subjoined dementi, which, if the Prince de Sagan really was one of Mr. Morse's guests last night, he will read
with some little astonishment:
Miss Helen Gould wishes to deny the story of the dinner party with the Prince de Sagan, The present Prince is not even in. this country. She thinks he is a very good man to remaid on the other side.
MR, MORSE'S 'DENIAL.
Mr. Most promptly denied the soft impeach- ment that he was entertaining a royal guest udawares; it was his London brother, laidor. Meanwhile Mr. Thompson" caught the train;
to Washingtod before day-light, flinging fierce
denials in a Freach accent right and left. However, the Canadian immigration autho rities, so it is stated, say they passed through Prince de Segan at Quebec on Saturday. The reporters acom baffled, They are interviewing cabmen, hotel porters, butlers, and policemen galore.
If Mme. Gould has come to her native land to seek relief from the gosip of the French capital, there appears to be little doubt that the newspapers will make her life a burden for her until they ran "Mr.. Thompson" and blu pedigree to earth.
