COUNTESS CLANCARTY.

How Belle Billion, the Music Hall Singer,
Won Her Title.
The recent death of Earl Clancarty, as
announced in the caple dispatches. makes
Lady Donlo, nee Belle Billion. the English
musc-hall singer, the Countess Clancarty.
During the pa st year Lady Donlo has been
the heroine of one of the most sensational
divorce cases that has absorbed the atten-
ton Of the London Divorce Court and
British public for many years. Belle Billion
came of good people. Her mother was
Miss Penrice of Kilvernau2h Castle, Clam
Organshire, Wales, AMI her aunt married
Sir Charles Van NottenpOle, Colonel IN
the Guards. Lord DOnlo, the eldest son OF
Earl Clancarty, met her while she was en-
gagged in London singing in music hall liz
st. Johns Wood. He fell desperately in love
with her, and she returned his love.
After cOurtship of some months they
startled London society by becoming united
in marriage. Their happiness was, how
ever, of remarkably brief duration, as
Donlo was unable to face the wrath OF his
parents when they discovered his marriage
with the London music-hall singer Their
welded bliss lasted only nine brief days,
when Lord DOnlo suocum6ed to the lnf1u-
ence of his father and mother-Earl and
Lady Clancarty-and severed his relations
with the singer.
Lord DOnlo was induced to 60 abroad,
while number OF detectives were employed
to watch the movements and actions OIL
Lady Donlo during his absence, for the pur-
pose of obtaining subject matter for pro-
ceedngs in divorce.
During Donlo's absence they, on his be-
half, had an action for divorce instituted on
the grounds, as they alleged, that Lady
DOnlO, subsequent to her marriage, had
committed adultery with Mr.. Wertheimer,
who was named correspondent In their &C
ton.
Although consenting to the institution Of
this action TO cOnciliate his angered parents
Lord DOnlo is believed not to have been
really anxious party TO the obtaining Of the
divorce.
The Donlo VS. Donlo divorce case occupied
the attention of Justice Hammer of the
Times Commission fame and jury III the
London Divorce Court last July, and
brought forth mass Of sensational evil
dence, and on the 3Oth of July the jury re-
turned a verdict in Lady Donlo'S favor. A
few days later Lord DOnlO, who was never
theoretically anxious for a legal separation
from his wife, visited Lady D0nlo, who
WAS then the heroine OF the hour III London,
and a reconciliation took place between
them. Lady Dunio, having maintained her
self by Keeping to the stage since her hus-
bands deseTtiOn, resolved to continue her
career as an actress, and, accompanied by
her husband, Lord DOnlO, now the Earl OF
Ciancarty, undertook a tour starring the
provinces in the character of Venus, IN
which tour she was actually engaged when
the news of Earl ClancarIy'S death reached
herself and husband at Plymouth. 1t is
probable that she will now retire from the
stage TO assume her station as Countess OF
Clancarty, while the former Countess be-

WHO OWNS KING THOMAS?

ID. j. McCarty Says This Equine Treasure
Is His Solely.
Last week at the meeting Of the New
York Jockey Club at Morris Park, West
chester the judges refused to allow King
Thomas, the $40 G0 failure colt, by King
Ban-Maud Hampton. TO start in a race in
which he was entered, because some large
forfeits were standing out against D. J. Nc
Carly, the local householder. whose eccen-
tTicities, running chiefly to white-frizzed
hats, have gained him some cheap notoriety.
When the judges refused to allow the colt
to start, Albert Cooper, well-knOwn COL
Ored trainer. objected strongly and said he
owned the colt and owed DO forfeits.
at the Hearst sale King Thomas was
knocked down to McCarty for $1,000, the
general sUpposition being that McCarty had
done the bidding for Cooper. As the colt
was the highest-priced youngsteT ever sold
In America. some interest attaches 10 his
racing career, which has been most in glOri-
GUS so far, his best race being to run second
in a two-horse race. McCarty's luck, it was
thought, might make the colt a winner, but
up to date he has had no chance to show if
McCarty is a real mascot or not, owing to
the cruelty distinct recollection of the judges
about McCartE'S unpaid forfeits.
Last night MCCarty was seen by CALL
reporter. and as he stated most distinctly
that ALBERT Cooper does not own a hair in
King Thomas tail " it would seem as if
there was a dispute about some one partic-
uar hair in the colts tail. McCarty is
acute enough to split hair in King Thomas
or any other horses tail. bit if mere words
90 for anything then Cooper was entirely
mistaken wien he told the Morris Park
judges that he owned King Thomas and {
McCarty, for McCaTty last night conveyed
the impression very fOrcibly That he and he
only was the tO-be-envied owner Of the non
winner.

claims, owed many forfeiis prior to its pass
