Count Won Butcher, the story of whose ro-
mantle marriage and subsequent separation
from his bride Of day has already been told in
The STAR, In speaking Of his marriage yester-
day in Chicago said: "A huge tree of love
grew from the tiny seed, and its roots are
twined about every fiber of my nature. Sud-
denly tempest dashes it to the ground. Alas
haven't a Job. My father sent me to America
to marry money. did better; married love.
And see what has happened. The countess
sister called upon us and asked me how could
support a wife on $50 month.
.''How are you going to do it?'" she asked.
"'Give me q chance. protested Surely

something.
'.But they would not listen to me and took
NV wife away"
Count Butcher is a. yet undecided as to his
future movements. He is at present staying
with his friend. Col Degarmo, on Michigan
avenue. He may. he says, go east and claim
his bride or he may remain in Chicago and try to
find occupation of some sort. He is confident
that his father will stop his allowance as soon
as he learns Of his marriage, and says that he
must find some sort of work at once. As the
young man is fairly well known in Chicago lie
thinks hs chances of success are brighter there
than they would be In the east.

Imaginative spectator saw a romance Of Ameri-

She WAS built in 1853 at the shipyards OF

she was one Of the few government vessels fit

the blockade OF New Orleans and she was the
next ship to Farragut's flag ship, the Hartford.

the capture of New Orleans. On this expedi-
ton she came into violent collision with the
kinea, and after clearing herself she received a
heavy fire IRON Fort ST. Philip. At Fort
Fisher the Brooklyn did effective service She
afterward assisted in an attempt to capture the
Alabama.
When last in commission she was with the
Asiatic squadron. On her return trip from
China she broke her main shaft and had to
make the passage to New York by sail, taking
lag days for the trip. From New York she
went TO Portsmouth, Va, where, in the latter
part of 1899. she was condemned by the United
States commissioners unfit for sea service.
She was bought by Thos. Butler & Co. and
