Prince Francis Hatzfeldt came rather high
Before the wedding with Clara Huntington
c. P. Huntington deposited with his pros
peetive son-in-law's trustees 81, 1000 in
bonds of the United States and other gilt
edge securities, which he guaranteed to bs
first class. According to the articles of
agreement entered into between Huntington
and Hatzfeldt, the income from this source
is to be divided between the Prince and his
wife, each to receive his and her share iDde-
pendently Of the other, and the income is to
be paid to each, just the same in case OF
divorce or separation. Huntington also
agreed to pay at the London and Westmin-
ster Bank the day before the wedding e2O,-
900 to persons designated by the Prince, and
ESQ, 900 more within six weeks, also to per-
sons designated by the Prince, who are, of
course, his creditors.
TOTAL COST OF THE PRINCE.
The Prince, on his part. agrees 10 make
over to his trustees all his property and es-
tates that are not entaiIed, and in case of
death of either husband or wife, the income
from 81, ,75O, 900 is to go to the children, if
any, who may be the issue of the marriage.
As the Prince did not have any unentalled
property. the total cost of Miss Hunting
tons titled husband comes to s., 100000.
A similar match between Miss Caldwell,
of Baltimore, and Prince Murat that was
broken off in Paris last week, will probably
not be mended, as the lady is said to con-
slider the price entirely too high for the
quality of the article.
SOME COURT ITEMS.
Earl Poulette. presumptive father of the
L
to make one more effort to prove the pre-
sumption Is wrong. This time his attempt
will take the form of an action against the
printers of "Burke's Peerage," in which
Hinton is recognized and described as Wis
count and heir to the peerage, and some in
dications given of his queer career, includ-
ing the professional period, when he was a
clown in a circus. The action is to restrain
the publication of this statement, and the
noble Earl hopes it will raise the entire
question of Hinton's legitimacy. 1t is
brought nominally in the name of the Earl's
5-year-old son by his third wife.
Another interesting case will come before
the courts again this term. Miss Wiede-
mann, the German governess, sues the Hon.
Robert Walpole, heir to the Earldom of
Oxford, for breach of promise and betrayal
The story had already been told in court
and the admitted facts were most discred-
liable to WalpOle. The unhappy girl re-
fused to answer certain questions which she |
deemed insulting, became hysterical, defed |
the court, and was non-suited. 1t trans /
pired afterward that her refusal was owing
to imperfect knowledge OF British law and
customs Her wrongs excited the sympathy
Of the public and the newspapers. Money
was subscribed, and ultimately she OBJ
tained an order for 2 new trial.
HAD THREE HUSBANDS.
Minnie Palmerston, the pretty music hall |
singer and variety actress, has been a most \
prominent figure in the Divorce Court this
week. Ten years ago Minnie married, and
since then she has had two other husbands.
Each was ignorant of the existence of
the other two, and Minnie managed
to keep the three happy and contented
until early this year, when loves Young
dream was rudely disturbed by the discoy-
cry by No. of the existence of No. g. Ex-
plantations followed, and two DEGREES nisi
were granted to-day. Lawyer Bardesley,
the first and only legal husband, having
given evidence to prove the bigamies, was
solemnly informed by the Judge that Minnie
belonged entirely to him, and he promptly
showed his appreciation of her value by
fling his own petition for divorce.
PAID FOR HIS BREAK.
Captain Henry Arthur Morniugton. of the
Duke Of Edinburgh's regiment, who is
Viscount Dangan, and son of Earl Cowley.

lated tnat Dangan should publicly declare C
that the breaking of of the engagement was C
not due to any improper conduct on her b
part. Accordingly, Sir Charles Russell q
who appeared Tor the young nobleman, said d
in court when the decision was announced: C

desires 1t should be explicitly stated that. !
in the circumstances which resulted in the
engagement being broken off there was no
reflection of any kind upon the character 7,
and conduct OF Miss Phyllis Broughton" +" m
The reason that Phyllis insisted upop this 81
declaration was that Dangan's character is n
SO high that otherwise the breaking off of -
the engagement would have been attributed n
to her having yielded to dishonorable pro- a,
posals on his part. The result of Miss is
