ALMOST A PRINCESS.
Startling Frr~utricity of n Wealthy En-.
xtish wisiow Living in Paris.


xiish Widow Living In Paris.
Here is an illustration OF this state
OF affairs matrimonial. ANY one who
goes often to drive in the Bois de
Boulogne may have noted among the
habItues of the place a tall. raw-boned
Englishwoman. with q hard, red. un-
prepossessing face. VINO IL known a.
Lady p She was an English demi-
mondaine, who was married by her
lover. wealthy manufa turer. ON his
death bed. so that she might inherit his
title. together with the large fortune
that he had bequeathed 20 her by Will.
She has lived in Paris for years. and is
noted for coming to tne Bois from time
to time in state OF uuruari0us intoxica-
ton. when she will Shrek and screeeh
and shake her fist out of her carriage
window an any body and every body
whose looks or equipage maY chance %
dispiease her.
She was az one time forbidden all ac-
cess % the Bois for some months. be-
cause during one OF these attacks she
induIged in threatening howls and gest-
ures toward tho Prince OF Wales, she
having gone 20 call ON the Princess and
having been refused admission. In
spite Of her character anu her pecui-
iaritiss. this improper and eccentric
dame was sought in marriages by the
chief OF ons of the great princeiy
houses of Europe. a noble whose proud
pedigree and lofty title figure among
the principal ornaments Of the Alma
mach DE Gotha outside the records of
royalty The lady accepted. the pre-
liminaries of the marriage were dis
cussei and arranged. and the date of
the wedding definitely settled But

She suddenly hurled a tumbler at the

ADMIRAL REINHoLD WERNER declares
The Big Stone post. (Big Stone Gap, Va.) 1890-1892, 1890-09-19

will always be found on analysis to depend
upon its power to give entrance to those
6ner treasures Of thought and feeling
which the best life of the race has been
storing up through the centuries. Ac-
cordingly those influences that tend to
broaden the minds horizon; to develop
powers and insight in the direction of
science, art, literature, in word form re-
fined and cultivated sensibilities, cannot
afford to be overlooked or underestimate
by those who would have wealth be, in
reality, much more than name and a
tinsel show. 1t is true that philanthropy
is always an open and boundlcss field, but
here there is little danger that the value
of the best and broadcast education will
be slghtingly regarded.
Not the last nor the least important
truth of DR.. Curry's address was his rec
IGNITION of the educational power of
modern journalism. 1t seems not unfit
ting in this connection to revert to the
fact, now becoming more widely recog-
nized, that by the wide view it furnishes
of human life and action, by the demoli-
ton of prejudiccs and unsurpassing crit
icism of abuses, as we'll as by the indication
of lines of advance, the real newspaper"
must be counted among the most broad
ening and enlightcning influences of our
national life.
The Big Stone post. (Big Stone Gap, Va.) 1890-1892, 1890-09-19
September II, 1890.
New Railroads Suggested.

CRAB ORCHARD, VA, Sept. Is, 1890.
To the Editor Of the Post:
We see a great many suggestions pub
lishcd in your paper in regard to Big Stone
Gap, but one Of the most important railway
lines remains unnoticcd. This proposed
line is nearly due northwest from here,
and located as follows; From the mouth OF
Pigeon creek, where the S. \. & 0. r. R.
passes to the coal fields; thence up this
Pigeon Valley to Crab Orchard, Va, and
through the Morris Cap in Little Black
Mountain, to Glover Fork Valley; down
the same by Harlan Court House, Ky;
down Cumberland River to the head of
Redbird, tunneling Pine Mountain at this
point; down Rcdbird Mountain to the
mouth of Goose creek, where are Herds
White Clark's and Bullskin's salt works.
There is railway in progress from Bea-
tysyile, Ky, going to or near Pineville.
This railway goes up Goose creek. AT the
mouth of these two rivers will be Il rail
road center, and one at Beatysville; though
what l desire to point out for our section
is for our railroad people to extend rail
road to these great Kentucky salt works
then they can have an outlet to the Ohio
river by Boonville and Beatysville, and
other railways now in progress.
1t is only about sixty-five miles from
Big Stone Gap to these great salt works
and through the center Of the great coal
region of Southwest Virginia and Eastern
Kentucky the entire route extends on what
We might term the main backbone of the
coal region, commencing at the mouth OF
Pigeon Creek Valley, extending to the
Crab Orchard Valley and across it to the
head of Glover Fork Valley of the Cum
berland river, between little and Big Black
mountains. This valley is thirty miles
long where the coal banks are in these two
stupendous mountains, above water drain
age; so that the coal could be arranged to
shoot into the cars from each coal mine
without further handling. The valley be-
ing so narrow, and the sides of the noun
tain so perpendicular, coal mining along
this thirty miles would be very cheap.
Then at Harlan Court House is an out
let for another great railroad. The noun
tains cut asunder there by the different
streams of the Cumberland river, run in
nearly every direction, affording a grand
outlet and inlet for railroads. L.
