The Famous Nellie Hazeitine
PHILADELPHIA Press.

Miss Nellie Hazeltine, the belle of st.
Louis whose name, much against her will,
has become somewhat famous IN the news
papers, has arrived in this city aud is stop
ping with her friend, Mrs. Florence |. Dun
ran, the talented authoress, on Arch street.
Miss Hazeltne IS at present engaged in Sc
Letting portion of her trosseau from we'll
known importing firm, as she is To be MAJ
ried next month to Frederick J. Paramore, a
Young millionaire Of st. Louis. After The
sail for Europe, where they both have q
number of friends and relatives among the
old country families.
The claim Of Miss Hazeltne's friends that
she is the most beautiful lady in her native
State is we'll founded las she is lovely demi.
blonde Of petite stature, with trasses of the
true Titianesque hue. Her face is pure
oval and her eyes are large, sparkling and
expressive. Like Grosvenor, her beauty has
been a fatal gift, as 1t has caused her to be
the object of envy aud gossip.
Not long since it was reported that she
had captivated Samuel J. Tilden at White
Sulphur Springs, so that he asked her hand
in marriage, and was accepted. As Miss
Hazeltine remarked:
"This was too absurd, as Mr.. Tilden had
only shown me fatherly attention, of which
was justly proud"
The stories that were published In the
papers recently Of Miss Hazeltine's having
sent bouquet and her picture to Philadel-
phia opera singer named Ammeg, In st.
Louis, Is strongly denied by her friends
here, who place different version on the
story. They assert that friend of Miss
Hazeltine's who proposed marriage to her
and was rejected started the story and in
duced the actor to boast Of the lady's ac-
quaintance, and in proof of this when doubt
ed he produced letter in imitation of her
handwriting and photograph which 1t is
stated was stolen. For this Willie Hazel
tine, brother of the young lady, and Mr..
Para,aore soundly pummeied the actor, who
brought suit for assault. The gentlemen
paid $500 as a salve to the wounded honor of
the fellow. who was glad to accept IL. This
case has been so misrepreseuted In the pa
pers as to canse the NEST intense annoyance
to Miss Hazeltine and her many friends.
During her visit in this city Mrs. Duncan
will act as her "guide, philosopher and
friend" and to morrow evening will give one
of her charming receptions in honor of the
belle.

Helping the Party.

In the days gone BY Detroit Sheriff, who
had made close shave Of being elected, had
the Ill luck to lose a prisoner from the Jail.
The fellow made good his escape to the
country. but the Sheriff overhauled him
about eight miles out and drove him under
barn. The prisoner was captured, and yet
he was not. If he could not get out the
Sheriff could not get In, and threats had no
effect on him. In this emergency the officer
called out:
.Say, Jim."
"Yes."
"You know had mighty close shave
getting this Officer"
"You did that"
"Well, I'm laying my pipes for second
term. liz lose you might as well hang mp.
The opposition will hold II up In letters
four feet high, and hundreds of men In my
own party will slip my name. Do you hear
me?"

"Well, | ask yon to corae out, not exactly
as prisoner going back to Jail, but more as
patriot bound 10 stand by his party. Come,
JIM"
.l'll be hanged If don't II replied the
prisoner. "Tbe judge was ag'in me, my
sentence Was UNJUST. and hate your Jail,
but II 1t Is going 70 help th. party and crush

There was an air of mystery In its move

cloaked and veiled, threw open the easement,

jumped out Of the vehicle and entered the

driver to "speed like lightning" An old

forgiveness. The prevailing mania for elope-

Nice Home for an Editor

A cable dispatch announces that Mr.. Ed
ward Lawson. Of the London Daily Teie-
graph, has become the purchaser, for f200,-
900. of the Duke of Westminster's magnIf-
cent house and more magnificent grounds at
Cliveden or Cliefden, at Berkshire on the
Thames, about 120 miles above London.
Cliveden belonged To the late Duke of Sut' =
erland, the father Of the Duchess of West
minister, aud since her death the Duke has
avoided the place. The first house occupied
here was built by the second Duke of Buck
ingham, the English Alcibiades," as Wal
pole calls him. 1t was long afterwards in
habited for time by the most worthless
prince of the house of Hanover, Frederic,
Prince of Wales, the father of George ILL.,,
and for his delectation the air of "Rule
Brittania," composed by DIR. Arne, was here
performed for the first time, August /, 1740.
A literary housemaid reading " Evelina" in
bed let her candle fall and set the house on
fire in May, 1795. The present house was
built by the Duke of Sutherland from de-
signs by Barry. 1t Is a stately, majestic man
sion, nobly set upon vast terrace at great
height above the Thames, here more exquis-
itely beautiful than at perhaps any point In
all Its beautiful course, and the views which
1t commands are unsurpassed even by the
royal prospect from the terrace of Windsor
Castle, "England's golden eye" The glory
OF Cliveden, however, are the hanging woods
which clothe the steep ascent of ITS pictur-
esque ground and mirror themselves in the
broad, smooth surface of the Thames below.
Its gardens also are renowned, even in En-
gland, the land Of gardens. Mr.. Lawson,
who has now acquired this superb home, has
been for more than quarter of a century
the practical manager of the London Teie-
graph, and to him more than to any other
person the great success Of that journal must
be attributed. He has long owned q delight
full house on the Thames, where his charm
ing and accomplished wife, daughter of
Webster, the celebrated London dramatist,
actor, and manager, has dispensed graceful
hospitality, and bis well-appointed steam
launch is one of the best known craft upon
the Thames.

Family.

Lexington Letter In Courier-Journal.
called to see Mr.. Gratz,now ninety years
of age, blind and tottering on the brink of
| the great hereafter. He Is still In the pos
session of his mental faculties and gifted
with that impershable qualification, sweet
ness of disposition, which neither time nor
corporeal sufierings have In the least affect
ed. His wife is a most charming lady and
possessed Of fine health and highly cultiva-
ted aesthetic taste. Mr.. Gra,z came to Ken
tucky in 1918 from the north, aud was the
intimate friend of Washington Irving, Mr..
Paulding and other literati and dIeitdnt of
his day. His house is perfecr hssaurus of
antiquities and valuable antiquarian relies.
| was shown the portrait of his sister, the
celebrated Rebecca Gratz, done by Suliy
when she was q young lady in all the pride
and purity of her glorious beauty. For del
icacy of eoloring and faultlessness of shad-
ing, it will take front rank with Sully's best
paintings. Rebecca Graz was the ideal Of
Sir Walter Scott's Rebecca In "Ivanhoe." ;"
Mr.. Washington irving, the intimate friend
of Sir Walter Scott and lover of Miss Grarz,
had painted the girl of his affections to the
noble author in colors so vivid, and invested
with so much Of the glamo.r of first love,
that he made her the ideal of his Rebecca IN
s'Ivanhoe." And there hung the semblance
of that glorious beauty, rich in all that turns
the minds Of poets, and that swel!s the pride
of manhood IN man, aud either makes or
breaks the hearts of lovers. BY the side of
her portrait hung in that rich old parlor
were other masterpieces by Sully, Grimes,
Healy, and Malbone. A miniature of Re-
becca Gratz, done by Malbone on porcelain,
is gem of priceless art work. likeness
of General Washington, the counterpart of
the one now hanging at Mount Vernon, is d
masterpiece and valuable as relic of our
historical events of that day.
Rebecca Gratz must have been marvel of
beauty; her likeness represents a lovely,
glorious beauty with the high bred air of a
grand dame Of the old regime. Although
she was Jewess, so great were her chari-
ties that she was called by General Scott
"the best Christian i'm New York" Wash
ington Irving was friend and lover, but Miss
Gratz lived and died unmarried. Salma-
gundi was written by Irving partly at her
fathers house, and 1t is limited tha. Miss
Gratz contributed some of its happiest
thoughts and hnmors. She vas the friend
of Miss Edgeworth as well as of Paulding and
Irving, as the autograph letters from these
distinguished literateurs testify.
