MRS. SALLIE WHITING BELMONT.
was then only eighteen and ravishingly
lovely, and young Belmont became her
devoted slave. Every one was pleased
the following year to hear of their en-
gagement.
'They will make an interesting
couple; they are so devoted to each
other" said many people.
On the morning of Dec. 81, 1882, the
wedding took place in Newport at the
summer villa of the BRIDES parents ON
Webster street. Bishop Clark per-
formed the ceremony. The bride wore
a gown of heavy white satin, richly
embroidered in pearls, and pearl and
groom. Misses Carrie Astor, Charlotte
Whiting and Miss Tiffany were the
bridesmaids. Congressman Perry Bel
mont was the bsst man and the usherS
were Raymond Belmont. who shot him
self in his fathers house over year
ago. Center Hitchcock, Woodbury. Kane
and d. B. Fearing.
The ceremony took place under a
large floral bell, and afterward came
feasting and congratulations, and the
proverbial lucky old shoe hit the young
bridegroom as he left the house with
his bride. Saturday following they
sailed for Europe, to remain until sum-
mer.
"What can be the matter with Mr..
Mrs. Oliver BelmOnt?" was gossiped
when at the end of three months they
came home. The lovely bride went df-
his, and in another three months they
were divorced.
Every one tried very hard to find out
the reason for the divorce, but they
could not and they did not. The young
people, who had gone away happy and
loving each other, came home bitter
enemies. but neither one would tell
about the trouble. The divorce was
private and absolute.
The Belmonts utterly refused to say
anything of their daughter-in-law and
Mrs. Belmont cut the acquaintance of
those who took the part Of Mrs. Oliver.
The following winter Mrs. divers
little daughter was born, and Miss Car
RE AstOr became it's godmother. 1t was
christened in great state in st. Thomas
church. From that day Mrs. Belmont
refused to speak to Mrs. William AstOr
or any of her daughters, and they have
not spoken since.
Mrs. Sallie Whiting Belmont,as she is
called, lives with her parents. She has
handsome fortune, large number of
friends and is greatly admired. Every
month or two the little daughter, now a
lovely child OF four, is taken around to
see her papa. The young people have
never ''made up; in the slightest and
probably never will.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fernando Yznaga have
come recently before the public as a
divorced couple. The reason for the
divorce, which was granted Mrs. Yznaga
at Monterey, CAL, few short months
ago. was incompatibility of temper.
Mrs. Yznaga is a younger sister of
Mrs. Willie X. Vanderbilt. She was
married to Mr.. Yznaga, who is the

A Great Composition.

Pail Mall Gazette.
Sir Frederick Leighton, P. r. A., has
completed portrait of Lady Coleridge,
the wife of the lord chief justice; but
with the exception of this, and one or
two small heads, he has been
almost entirely engaged on his
great classical composition drawn
from the sixth book of the
'Iliad." In this writes the London
correspondent of the Manchester Guard
lam Andromaehe is represented in the
plight WHICH she anticipates for herself
in her speech to Hect0r-that is, as a
captive after her husbands death in
some foreign town, standing among the
groups who have come to draw water
from the city well. The captive her.
self, and the surrounding figures look
ing on, some in sympathy and some in
derision, are designed and painted with
all the presidents grace and finish, and
the picture promises to be one of the
most successful of its class among his

ing about to. make up the difficulty by
settling handsome fortune on Mrs.
YZnaga.
Mrs. Pierre Noel, or Mrs. Kate Noel,
as she is now called, is certainly one of
the youngest and most beautiful of our
divorces. She obtained a divorce in
California last fall and appeared at most
Of the balls and dances of the winter.
At the charity ball she was particularly
noticeable in decollete gown of tulle,
with garland of apple blossoms across
one shoulder.
Mrs. Noel is a perfect blonde, Of
medium height, plump, with golden
hair, dazzling white complexion and
sapphire blue eyes. She was married
over two years ago, and not long after
the marriage the young people found
out they could not agree. but they tried
for long time. Finally they decided
it was better to part than to be con-
tinually at war.
doesn't Mrs. Noel look happy after
her divorces" said many people when
that fair lady appeared at a ball two
days after her return home. And happy
she has looked ever since.
She was Miss Katherine Billings, the
stepdaughter of Abram Wakeman. be-
fore her marriage. Every one will re-
member how beautiful she looked as
margaret More' in the ''Dream of Fair
Women" tableauX which were given at
the Madison Square theater just before
her marriage.
Mrs. Noel has handsome fortune and
intends to go abroad this summer.
Mrs. Frederick Nelson, who year
ago divorced her husband, is very
beautiful and wealthy woman. The
divorce was obtained in the Rhode
Island courts after long struggle.
Mrs. Nelson, who was Miss Gebhard,
was great beauty before her marriage
and still retains her perfect figure and
grace of manner.
The divorce of Mr.. and Mrs. Mark
Hopkins has recently been newspaper
talk. The lady is many years her hus
bands junior and is at present with her
parents.
That divorced women of position often
marry is we'll known. Mrs. Frederic
Stevens, who left her husband year S
ago, was but recently united to the Mar
quis de Tallyrand de Perigord. Her
husband still lives solitary life with
two of his children. He is worth mill
ion or two, and the home which Mrs.
Stevens deserted is now the Whitney
mansion on Fifth avenue and Fifty

AN OLD IRISH TUNE.
"a "Reminiscences of the War1

A "Reminiscences Of the War.]
We had fought, we had marched, we had
thirsted all day,
By the banks of streamlet whose thin little
flood
A thousand of hoof-beats had churned into
mud.
Our tongues were as parched as our spirits
were damp.
And misery reigued all supreme in the
camp,
When, sweet as the sigh of zephyr in
June,
There stole ON our senses an old Irish tune.
1t crept low and clear through the whisper
ing pines,
1t crossed the dull stream from the enemy's
lines,
And over the dreams of the slumberers cast
The magical spell of a voice from the past; !
1t lulled and caressed till the accents Of
pain
Sank to murmurs that seemed to entwine
with its strain; -
And soothed, as of old by mothers soft
Groom, I'll
tune. H..
Now pensive, now lifting. half sob and half
smile,
Like the life Of our race or the skies of our
isle.
Our eyelids it dimmed while 1t tempted our
feet, u
For our hearts seemed to chorus it eadences
sweet. IL
Once again in old homes we were children at
play, OF
Or we knelt in the old little chapel to pray, IN
Or burned with the passion of manhood hot
noon, -
And loved DER again in that old Irish tune
A Johnny who crouched by the rivers dark
To pick off our stragglers, neglected his
charge,
And out in the moonlight stood. fearful and
still,
Most tempting of marks for a ri1eman's
skill:
A dozen bright barrels could cover his head,
But never a ball ON its death mission sped;
Our fingers were nerveIesS to harm the Cos
Who wept like ourselves at an old Irish
tune.
1t linked with its strains ere they melted
away
True hearts severed only by blue coats and
But faithful on both sides in triumph and
To the home and the hopes of the long, long
ago.
The air seemed to throb with invisible tears
Ere burst from both camps a tornado of
cheers.
And a treaty Of peace, to be broken too soon,
Was wrought for one night by that old Irish
tune.

her down and beat her violently with a

Last year they were at Tuxedo Park

although it was remarked that Mrs.
Yznaga had grown very thin and looked
worried, Late in the fall she went to
California. and after establishing her

these arc not greater than ours, and tho
showing is n sufficient answer to the
committee who propose to pay for
million and ono half plant with two
years rentals.
But MS to tho cost Of n plant Our
committee is going to secure for $25, 900
gas territory Of sufficient known gas-pro-
ducing power to justify the city in in
vestng 10000 600 in bringing that gas
here The only element about the
whole business that IL sure is the elc-
ment OF uncertainty, These companies
that invested their money to bring gas
hero, did il after trst piling up leases
aud purchases of tcLtcd land. They
fortified themselves on this POINT to the
utmost cXtcnt they could. They knew
gas would give out sooner or later, or II
it did not there was constant danger of
iis turning into oil. As an illustration
of this the Toledo company turned seven
teen wells into the main line last Aug
ust, having as good gassers as they
could desire. Inside of 30 days two of
these wells we're so heavy with oil that
they endangered the plant and had to be
cut off. During the discussion of gas
matters last summer, when for awhile
work was stopped, one company here
could have transferred its gas territory
to Detroit syndicate for half million
of dollars. although our committee is
going to supply Toledo for $25,000l

sire to say here that the gas lands of the
Toledo company cannot in my opinion,
based on figures and facts, be duplicated
for less than one and one-half million
dollars. have no books to quote from
as to the Northwestern Co., but they
have more gas lands, and more miles OF
pipes than the Toledo company and con
sequently cost as much, Mt least max
ing the two lines represent S3,t00,00O
And these lines are built by men who
are paid to make dollar count one hun
dred cents in value, with bills carefully
audited, and as shrewd as any business
concern would look after its expenses
Yet men would take the public purs,
and use it so carefully and so sparingl.
that they will do for less than $3.50, OO(
what is represented by 100000.
If the city pipe line is good invest
ment, it ought to be so shown on I
