Chicago Special IN NetO York Herald.
The bright particular male star OF
Chicago society ut the present time is
Nh. Hobart Chatheld Chatfeld-T Taylor,
the Spanish consul in Chicago and the
attendant upon tho Intapta Eulalia OF
Spain during the stay Of her royal high

Spanish princess was here she deferred
thoroughly and completely to Mr..
Chattield- Taylor, consulted him in re-
gard to everything, and, in reality,
looked TO him more than she did TO

government OF the United States. Com

some as Mr.. Chatlleld- Taylor, which
may account in some measure for the
inianta putting him aside in favor OF
the Chicagoans.
He il yet a young man, having been
born in Chicago in 1865, aud it is his
boast that he is ono OF the few men
really born in that city. lie is proud
Of his city and always registers as from
Chicago when he goes abroad, There
arc some ChicaGoans who, when away
from home, register as from Evanston,
Kenwood, or Hyde Park, these being
the more aristocratic sections Of the city,
but Mr.. Chatleld. Taylor is not that sort
OF q man.
After being graduated from Cornell
University in 1886. Mr.. C~hat6eld-T Taylor
returned TO Chicago to rest for u short
time, aud then sought the advantages
OF travel. He went to Europe and
touched some Of tho other continents,
butt to his credit it must be said, he did
not, as so many OF our gilded youth arc
wont to do, acquire u cockney or other
foreign accent. Any Chicago man Gun
understand him when he talks,
whether that man be from South Hal
sted street Or the Lake Shore Drive.
lie does not chop his words OF, nor
leave out certain syllables, rs many
Englishmen arc known to do, NOT does
he drop into French quotations in or
der to show his learning. lie both
speaks and walks Spanish, and these
accomplishments have been OF the
greatest value to him during the late
visit OF the Infanta Eulalie to Chicago.
The princess was charmed to find so
capable q man representing her country
here and took pains to let him know it.
BORN TO AFFLUENCE.
Mr.. Chatiold-T Taylor was born to af.
tluence. His father, who died many
years ago, was largely interested in
manufacturing enterprises, and when
he died lett property valued at much
more than $1,500,000. He left a will
which gavo his sou $4,000, and the re-
mainder to various charitable institu.
lions. There was no contest over tho
property, but an agreement was ar
rived at whereby the young nan ro-
ceived 81, 100000 or so, the income from
which was sufficient to support him
handsomely. 1t was a great victory for
him, and ono that was not the out
come OF q long and weary contest
in the courts. 1t was one Of
the most remarkable instances on
record where property worth so much
was obtained by an heir without a stub
born legal contest.
Although not compelled to oarn his
livelihood, Mr.. Chatfeld. Taylor. or rather
plain Mr.. Taylor as he was thon,
turned his attention to journalism, for
which he developed q fondness, and
founded a weekly journal called Amer
lea. lilo had made up his mind that no
would spend one hundred thousand
dollars before tho paper was put upon
a paving basis. hut when seventy-dve
thousand had been spent he saw that it
would never pay,
After this literary effort and a short
time spent in writing editorials Mr..
Chatield.T Taylor began to pay more at.

entered more generally into society in
Chicago. Having a social position that

wealth and tho standing Of his family,
he soon became u leader, and being a
member OF the leading clubs-the
Union, the Chicago and others-Iie

young man had ever attained here. In

Chicago's bellies. The marriage has
proved a most happy ono, as it could be
hardly otherwise with such q mate, and

further 30 far as Chicago society was
concerned, and he aspired to conquer
still further. Tho Worlds Columbian

afforded him the desired opportunity.
