PRINCE MURAT AND MISS CALDW

PRINCE MURAT AND MISS Caldwell
The exchange of American gol
for a foreign title, seems in this il
stance not to have progressed &
harmoniously and satisfactorily q
in other recent cases. The Prime
is indignant that the fair Gwendt
line rates his name and title a
worth but 500 per year, as tina
is all she offered. Dispatches from
Paris say that the storm that ha
been brewing for several weeks pas
between the parties, finally burs
when at a meeting held at Mis-
Caldwell's hotel for contract OF
final signature of marriage settle
ments, the notary announced tina
the bride only allowed her HUSBAND
an income of $4,000 year. Sh,
declares that she had warned tn
Prince all the time that this was al
she intended to allow him. He had
however, always acted as though b.
thought she was joking, and refused
to believe that she would treat him
SO shabby. When he heard the
notary read the clause of the con
tract relating to this matter, he
arose and approaching Miss Cald'
well exclaimed: HSurely this is a
joke; you cannot mean to treat
your husband with such public
display of suspicion" Miss Cald-
well laughed, and replied: II have
managed my fortune all along with
success, and want to continue do
ing So" Miss Caldwell further
tainted him by telling him that he
had shown that he did not know
how to manage money. This made
the Prince very angry, and exclaim-
ing, Madam, am not beggar,"
marched out of the room. The
Prince is not youthful lover, but
is widower with an only son, and
that son has a charming young
wife who decidedly objects to there
being another Princess Murat be-
sides herself, one, too, who would
outrank her, so when she heard of
the rupture her heart was glad, and
she Immediately offered her father
in-law an assured allowance of
$4,000 if we would remain single.
The young Princess Murat is a
granddaughter of Marshal Ney,
and possesses much social power
and influence at Paris. The re-
mainder of the Murat and Bona
parte family are also very much op-
posed to the match. Indeed, Miss
Caldwell has antagonized all of the
Princes relations by her attitude
and remarks with regard to her su-
periority in business matters over
the Prince. She has not the repu-
tation of being very liberal no1
generous, Notwithstanding that she
gave 100000 to the new Catholic
university at Washington, but her
friends say that she was sorry for
1T afterwards. She is supposed to
be worth about 81 900, 600, but those
who know, say that she seems to
have dreadful times paying her bills,
and disputes over nearly all of the
accounts of her trades-people. She
has been sued repeatedly by florists,
llverymen and others. The latest
account of the situation is as fol-
lows:
PARIS, Oct 31.-Prince Murat, the gal.
liant French cavalry general who has be-
come varlously decorated and extensively
gray, has finally refused to let himself out
as MQrat DECORATE to the American heir
ess who gave a fortune to the Catholic
university. The prince said to a circle
OF intlmates the last week of the Jockey
club that the lady offered him nothing
but sea biscuit. "There was not money
enough in sight. l said nothing to nv
hancee about money until Saturday, when
lawyer called at her hotel, where we
were gathered by appointment to sign the
settlements. ! had expected to witness
on her part some sign of generous deyo-
ton. What do you imagine SAVE Dur.
ing my lifetime l was to receive $4,000
francs yearly, and should she die before {
me, leaving no heirs, the money was all ,
to revert to her family. Madame | said. ,
you deceive yourself greatly. l am not
an Italian. French princes are quoted
much higher in the matrimonial stock
market and with my most distinguished {
left" |
lhe prince was congratulated for the (
NOBLE stand he had made against an ,
American bear movement on the Europe-
an market, and the nightly baccaret was
RESUMED. He went to Fontainbleau yes- {
lerday to take part in large shooting
party tor two days, which James Gordon t
