MRS. MARTIN.

reputation by reason of the promulgations
of their newspaper, but after a brief oblivion
they amazed their old friends by stepping
into the ranks of the British nobility and
landed gentry. They now send a formal
announcement that they will land at New
York in February and proceed at once to
disprove every evil report ever made of
them, and then heap Goals of fire on the
heads of their critics by establishing a
magnificent charity for journalists. This
will be home, to be occupied free of
expense by aged and infirm newspaper
men. Their husbands will give the money.
Mrs. Cook will also make a present of
s., 900 to the New York Press club, and
both the sisters will lecture for the benefit
of the home and club.
And they have plenty of money to assist
them in their plans. Mr.. John Biddulph
Martin, husband of her who was Victoria
Clatiin, is an eminent London banker and
great land owner, with an income of
81, 100000 year. Sir Francis Cook, who
married Tennessee Clafiin, is baronet in
England and Viscount of Monserrat in
Portugal, where he owns 1900 acres of
land. Both men will accompany their
wives to America, and what is more to the
purpose, perhaps, will place at their dis
posal ala the money they need for their
charitable purposes. Lady Cook is already
noted for her charities in London, and is
the founder of the Alexander House
home for young women--to which she con-
tributed 81 590OOO

able. This time he hopes to remain long
enough to make some investments. They
now intend" says Mrs. O'Halloran, to
put a stop at once and forever to vile insin-
uations, and libel suits viii be brought
against any paper that traduces them.
The old statement that Victoria was re-
sponsib!e for the famous Beecher article
will be proved false, as it was published in
her absence by Colonel Blood, and the Of
fensive wording of it irritated her exceed
ingly. She will prove that persons have
been employed on both sides of the Atlantic
to hound them to the day of their death"
In short, if 1.-The Clafin sisters" as
Americans viii continue to call them, do
one-half they have promised the coming
spring will be an uncommonly lively one
in New York journalism. In London both
the sisters and their husbands are regular
attendants at the Protestant Episcopal
church on High street. In Portugal the
Cooks have magnificent palace in the old
Moorish style, and the gardens are quite
noted. Sir Francis also has gallery of
paintings in London valued at 81 100000
He has been a collector of paintings for
thirty-fve years, and if he establishes a
business in America will endow gallery.
Many other good things are promised
in behalf of the sisters and their hus-
bands by their friends in New York, but
the main point of interest is that they are
really coming and win make it interesting
for some newspapers PRICE-LLoYD.

work, they purpose other proceedings not

TO have the newspapers retract a great
deal or show cause Sir Francis and Mr.
Martin have offered in England 81, 900 re-
ward for any real proof of any shameful or
disgraceful act in the career of their wives
and they will repeat the offer in this coun-

was conferred on him by the queen a
year later. He has two sons and a daugh-

room is divided of by light partition
that misses the ceiling by sew raj feet. The
other half, carpeted with d Brussels carpet,

A CRUEL FATE.

He Loved in Vain, but He Got There
just the Same.
Eduardo Cordova was a Spaniard, vim
dictive, cruel, jealous and tobacconist.
He sold cigars by the box and loved
Bridgetina McGinti, a beauteous maiden
from the far, fair, Sorrentian shore, where
the blue Mediterranean paints the Italian
cliffs
But Bridgetina loved another, handsome
Richeleu de Rivoli, the Apollo Belvidert
OF County Cork
And Richeiieu was corker.
How could she help but love him?
How could she help but marry him when
he asked herr
She couldn't.
So she did
And Eduardo was furious
BY thCnderl but he was hot
So hot, in fact, that his customers lit
their cigars on his emotions for three weeks
after Bridgetina answered to the name Of
Mrs. De Rivoli.
The first thought of Spaniard who gets
it in the neck is revenge, and Eduardo
kept large supply of first thought right
where he could put his hand on it at a min
ute's notice.
Yet withaI he dissembled

She smiled her same pretty smiles on FL
duardo, and invited him to come up any
time and call on her and her family, and a
lot more of that sort of thing Well, FL
duardo almost bankrupted himself, smok
ing his own cigars at cost, in order to quiet
his nerves
One beautiful morn, Mrs. De Rivoli en-.
tered Cordova's Smokers Emporium, and
with delightful little twitter of innocence,
she informed him that she was about three
fourths daft trying to think of something
for her dear Richelieu's birthday present,
but for the life of her she couldn't tell
what to get him.
Elduardo's eyes glittered with strange
new hope.
His cruel lips curved all about it.
But he spoke not.
She stood there in deep thought for sew.

What ninny am" she broke forth at
last. "Why, Mr.. Cordova"-he ground his
teeth at the 'Mr. "-"you have the very
thing. I'll buy him box of cigars. Won't
that be just too lovely for anything?"
Elduardo's breath came thick and fast.
His breast heaved and the glitter in his
eye grew glitterer.
"Alhambra be praised" he muttered, too
low for her to hear as he flung out dozen
boxes for her inspection.
She chose one with the prettiest pictures
on it; with happy, girlish laugh gurgling
over her sweet, red lips, she nodded adieu
and went away to meet her husband.
Eduardo embraced himself to his throb-
ing bosom in an ecstacy of delight.
