LONDON, July 3o.-The affairs of Lady
Lena Scott, the well-kuown grande dame Of

She is the widow Of Sir Claud Scott, baronet
and banker, and until lately was reputed to
be very wealthy. She was at the zenith Of

exciting race with nearly all mothers in
polite society, she won . husband for her

however, only e3, 76S is unsecured, and as

Her ladyship's trouble, judged by her
answers in the course Of examination, was
due in some measure to rash speculations,
but more largely to the commonplace habit
OF living beyond ones means. Her creditors
stand poor chance Of getting anything,
for although Lady Scott expressed deep re-

'that 1t would be the best endeavor OF her
life to pay everybody in FULL" her hopes
are based upon no more solid foundation
than the gamblers superstition that bad
luck cannot last always.
Among her ladyship's creditors is her
son-in-law, Earl Russell, who claimed s1O3,
and against this she naively endeavored to
set dressing bag, bought for s19O, which
she gave the young man upon his marriage

have been through three or four Presi-
dental campaigns, and in those campaigns
have learned enough to make just esti-
mate concerning the amount of money em-
p1oyed on both sides. In one or two in
stances the figures that give are practically
official. In 1880 the National COMMITTEES Of
the Republican party received in the way of
subscriptions some $3.50, 900. This money
war disbursed through the chairmanship Of
Marshall Jewell, the former Postmaster
General of General Grant In the cam
paign of 1884 some $500, 900 was raised. B.
f. Jones, of Pittsburg, was the Chairman
of the committee that collected the money
and spent it. In 1888 Senator Quay had
the disbursement of some Ss00,000 This
was the largest sum ever raised and spent
by q national committee.
The Democrats Not Far Behind.
In each one of the years above named the
Democrats had about the same amount Of
money. In 1880 and 1884 they had an equal
amount. 1t can be said generally in every
Presidential campaign that the Democrat,
raise as much money as the Republican
In the year 1888 they had perhaps $4,000
less. The two committees disbursed in T.
last campaign over a million and half
dollars Some of the Democratic subsci
tions came from individuals rather t
organizations One Democratic leader
very rich man, told me personally that
contributed to the campaign fund in
the sum of $3.50, 900.
1t is said by those who are experienced
such matters that it is always easier to r.
money for the party which is out than
the party which is in. This may account
the deficiency in the Democratic treas
in the year 1888.
