Eventually 'souring" upon him, she
sued him for 100000 and won her suit.
But she got nothing in actual money.
Her claims were for board and various
other things.
Mrs. Weldon lives now in Paris in a
''hospitaliere," where she has room on
the top floor. She wears hOmespun, and
often sells newspapers, Her treasures
are the Legion of Honor buttons beloug-
ing to Gounod, his love letters and some
manuscript music. These she refuses
to sell. Is woman VINO is so faithful
to one man who has always been the
whole object of her alteration an ad-
ventures? Here again is the question of
proper definition to be decided.
The Countess POurtaleS. an Amer
lean, who was beheaded by the order of
the Mlkado of Japan without the affair
creating any international sensation.
was the most sensational adventures
Of her day; and, although she fourished
along with several others. her career
was much swifter-like her death. The
lovely countess began life as Mary
BocZer, of South Carolina. She mar
ried several times, shot at her husbands,
either killing them or making them sue
for divorce papers, and then she went
to Paris.
Paris is the home of adventuresses,
Offering even greater attractions for
them than does New York. Here Mary
Boozer met the young Count Pourtalss
and married him. They were sent to
Japan on diplomatic mission, and
very soon the count got into a duel
about his wife'S behavior and was
killed. Then the widowed countess,
l0velier than ever. came back TO Paris.
Here she married another French OFF,
Ger. They returned to Japan on more
diplomatic business. and in month the
eX-counteSs had created so many diff
cutleS, caused so many fatal duets and
captured the hearts of 80 many married
men, that the mikado ''got mad" as we
say here, and ordered her head to be cut
Oft. The order was promptly executed,
and there was rejoicing in the royal
palace. Would all countries be better
off if their adventureSSeS could be
treated thus?
Eva Hamilton.MaDn is too familiar
for much discussion just now. She was
never victimized herself but Just once,
and that was by newspaper woman at
the time when Robert Ray Hamilton

it was not the heir of the Ray Hamilton

missing. No one could find her.

field, or Mrs. Lawler," as she then had
begun to call herself, captivated the
heart of Robert Reade, wealthy New
York and Newport man. and married
him. They went to London or Paris to
live,and separated within the year past.
Josie Mansfield for over thirty-five
years captivated men. She held her
beauty all that time, and dressed so
smartly, aud was so kindly, so sympa-
thetic and so beautiful in manner as
we'll as in appearance, that she is said
never to have tried to please any one
that she did not succeed.
Some idea of this woman's personality
can be had when you reflect that In the
year '91 she married Mr.. Rende, fully
thirty-one years after she had been
divorced from her first husband. Mr..
Rende's mother was a cousin of Levi
T. Morton, and all his relatives were of
a hieh class and blue blood.
Probably in his day Charles Gounod
created more Of sensation by his
affair with Georgina Weldon than ever
did the Gould heir in these times.
When you consider that here was Mrs.
Weldon, the wife of apoor and shiftless
man who would not work to support
her, and who was giving few music
lessons and taking boarders IN order to
scrape together ef2O year-barely 5000
then some idea of the social breach
between her aud Gounod is obtained.
At this time Gounod was the foremost
musician and composer in the world.
and his wife and family were in the
best circles of London, Paris and Berlin
wherever they chose to live.
Of course Mrs. Weldon charmed him.
Once she got him In to write letter

HAS BRAIN TROUBLE.
MARION MANOLA HAS LOST
HER MIND.
Her Brother Says There Is No
Truth in the Report of Her
Taking Opium.

BosToN, Mass, Sept. S.-The report
that Mrs. Jack" Mason, or. as she is
probably better known. Marion Manola.
is suffering from brain trouble. and
that her mind is deranged, appears to
be well founded.
Mrs. Mason has been in North Con-
way, N. H., since Aug. "a, with her
husband and her daughter. Pay
son Tucker, lifelong friend of Mr..
Mason's mother, controls the Kelley
institute at that place, and when it was
found that Mrs. Mason's condition was
so serious he came forward with all offer
to take her there. At first Mr.. Mason
was inclined to decline the offer, be.
cause he did not wish 1t to be thought
that his wife was taking the "gold"
cure. The physicians also told him that
she was not subject Tor the special
treatment employed in the institution.
When, however. it was pointed out to
him how advantageous the mountain
air would lie. he accepted.
Mr.. Mason was here few days ago
and told his friends that he feared there
was little hope for his wife's recovery.
The physicians, he said, expressed the
opinion that there was an organic lesion
of the braiu.
Not Due to Opium.

The career of leila NicolauS was brief

very public that it Is doubtful if she
will operate again so successfully. The
story of that Gould check for $4,000

has been told often. But the clever
little interview between George Gonld,
as head of the family, and the pretty
Zella has not been told.

Mrs. Mason managed to get through the

The Final Breakdown.
The Weinberg case came up for trial
on Aug. s. and Mrs. Mason was taken
from her bed to attend it. She and her
husband were both discharged, but the
day after the trial she took to her bed
and has not left it sInce. Her mind, it
is said, lost its power almost completely,
and she labored continually under the
delusi0n that she was about to be ar
rested. Sometimes her mind would go
back to the stage. and she would sing
snatches of song.
Mr.. Mason is under contract with his
counsel, John B. Moran, to play series
of engagements from Aug. 10, 1894, to
Aug. Is, 1895. and Mr.. Moran has made

THE AMELIE OF TODAY.
Mrs. Chanlcr Has Not the Ingenious
GirlhOOd Ways any More.

Mrs. Chanler has strong face, regular
features and with chin. of firmness. Her
nose is little inclined to be beaked, some
what like her fathers. There Is the pa
trician air about her tempered with gentle
ness. One forgets in her presence that she
could write book throbbing with human
passions that at times reach a paroxysm
of frenzy greater in intensity than any
thing Dante has ever written.
In one less gifted it would have been con-
sidered puerile sentiment run mad. This
handsome matron still young, still in the
prime of glorious womanhood. has all
that wealth can give. But has she reached
the zenith of her aspirations, or does she
still dream that she will write book which
will create more comment and more criti-
cism than 1.-The Quick or the DeadT' No
one can fathom that question by gazing at
her handsome face. Her life abroad and
the homage that has been paid her have
robbed her of the ingenious girlhood ways
which her friends knew and loved so well
in her rural home. That is not saying she
is not sincere and not as friendly as ever.
1t means that she has had to meet society
and learn its diplomatic politeness. She is
at present planning a trip through the Holy
Land.
