Nothing in This World

IS so cheap as q newspaper, WhetheF 10 De
measured BY the cost Of its production or by its
value TO the consumer. We are talking about
an American, metropolitan, daily paper of the
first class like THE CHICAGO RECORD. Rsss
cheap and so good you can't afford in this day
of progress to be without it. There are other
papers possibly as good, but none better, and
none just like it. 1t prints all the real newS Of
the world-the news you care for-eUery day,
and prints it in the shortest possible space. You
can read THE CHICAGO RECORD and do a day's
work too. 1t is an Independent paper and gives
all political news free from the faint of party
bias. In a word-it'S a complete, condensed.
clean, honest family newspaper and it has the
largest morning circulation in Chicago or the
we8t-125,0OO to 40, 900 a day.
Prof. J. T.. Hatfield Of the Northwestern
University says: ''THE CHICAGO RECORD

remember the exorbitant tax that was
levied by her managers on the play
going public for the privilege OF gazing
upon "the most beautiful woman 10 the
world" Her tour must have yleldeu
immense profits, and, in truth, did.
But Mrs. LanEtry received a compare
lively small part Of the proceeds, the
bulk going TO her conductors. She
made no pretense of acting on that tour
and was. in sense. dependent upon
others. Her beauty carried her through.
But she soon discovered the value OF
her dramatic art when combined with
good looks and applied herself dligent-
~ after the first tour to the study OF
the drama. The result is that to-day
she is more OF and actress and less OF
beauty 10 the eyes OF her patrons.
Her success this season IS attributed
to her personal management. Instead
of booking her plays exclusively in the
large cities, she has visited great mum
Der of prosperous towns, playing brief
engagements in each one, with emf
nently satisfactory results. Next TO

Mrs. Langtry's Beauty Made in COlOrs that
Do Not Fail-Unezpected Meeting With

remarkably well preserved. Her beau

The famous beauty, having concluded
her engagement at the theatre, for the
night, glided into the grillroom in
search of refreshments, accompanied by
her latest conquest, \ fair young man

wealth. Instantly conversation ceased
and all eyes were turned upon the new

The Lily was Stunningly attireG and
never looked baudsomer. Her skin
shown ike satin OF the finest texture
and those big blue eyes which have
played such havoc with mems hearts on
two continents sparKled with all the fire
OF old. Mrs. Langtry is partial to
bright colors, aud they certainly be-
come her style Of beauty. She wore on
this occasion skirt OF blush black
mixed material and a waist of deep pink
chiffon, almost as bright as crimson;
while for a bonnet there was cute,

strolled into the dining-room In the per-
son Of Mr. Fred Gebhard. The scene
st this juncture was somewhat dra-
matte. The actress and the once well.
known man-about-town had not seen
each other for several years. Their last
meeting was 10 London, after the break
up Of Langtry's New York home. and
they parted then 10 anger, the immedi-

THOMAS LORDS CONQUEST.
Mrs. Hicks-Lord is now about sixty
eight years OF age. Mrs. William Aston,
her Immediate successor as leader Of
New York society, is over sixty, but in
the matter OF energy is twenty years
Younger than her predecessor.
IL was only seventeen years ago that
Mrs. Hicks-LoId contracted the mar
rage which led 20 many harsh things
being said about her. Old Thomas
Lord, a millionaire six times over, had
been making ardent love TO her for five
years, notWithstandiug that his age
amounted to more than iourScOre.
In the early seventies, after her Eu-
ropean triumphs, Mrs. Hicks, the fasci-
nating widow, trifls more than forty
and with an income of $4,000 a year,
came back 10 New York aud started a
campaign of entertaining the like OF
which the city had never seen. She
had a big house in West Fourteenth
street, Just of Fifth avenue, 8 fashion
able spot in those days, and she filled
ures collected and given her in all parts
OF the earth,
When she began her series OF great
receptions old Thomas Lord became a
regular visitor at the house. His atten.
ton to the handsome widow attracted
the attention OF his six children, who
started a campaign to crush any matri-
monial lnclinations their father might
have.
Mrs. Hicks saved them any further
trouble DC that score by suddenly pack
ing up and going 10 London. 1t was
during Shis visit 20 the English capitol
that he entered into a friendship with
the Empress Eugene, a friendship
which continues until this day. The
friendship started in a strange way.
Mira Hicks had a sumptuous suite OF
apartments at London hotel. The En-

There have been some right royal Gu
tertainments in the Washington square
house. but all that is changed now. It
has the perpetual appearance Of being a
house OF Sickness, where some beloved
inmate Is tottering upon the brink OF
eternity. The shades are always down,
the massive Old-iashioned front doors
with their heavy carvings are kept
locked and bolted, and they bear the
look Of being opened but seldom. Even
in the bright sunshine the Old house
looks haggard and wrinEled. IL looks
out OF place 10 the bright rays Of light.
One can't help thinking thai the house
has become permeatsd with the feeling
which predominates 10 the bosom OF It's
owner, that It's its glories which once
electrified the world are thing OF the
past and that all the future has IN
store for 10 is a quiet aud peaceful end.
HER FEAR OF BURGLARS.
Annette Wuhelmina Wilkins Hicks
Lord, as the lady of the tOmbiike man
sion loved 70 stvie herself Ia the heyday
of her triumphs, is now almost an iuVa-
lid. She sees few of the people who
loved to cluster about her when she was
oueen OF New York Swe, idom. A few ot
Them call 90 talk over old times. But

The marriage, financial agreement was
effected by which the children left the
couple in peace. The next year Mr..
Lord died, leaving goodly sum to his
widow. To-day Mrs Hicks Lord prob
ably has an income OF 500, 900. Her
two nieces, the Misses Schenck, will In
herit large fortunes from her.
Fifty years ago, when the beautiful
Annette wilkins was introduced to
Knickerbockers society, some OF its mem
hers were Inclined TO give here the cold
shoulder when they heard she came
from Surinan, ar obscure town Ia Dutch
Guiana, her birthplace. But as mat
ter of fact, her ancestry compared
favorably with any of her critics. Her
maternal grandmother's grandfather
was Sir Francis Rumbout, an English
knight who, two hundred years ago,
was given by the crown grant OF land
along the FiShkill river twelve by nine
mile in extent. From him descended
Kips, the Schencks, the Van Cortlandts
and many other families OF Knicker'
booker fame.
Mrs. HicEs-Lord's father was Unrico
Peter wilkins, Dutch planter In
Guiana. He met her mother in Fish
kill, married her there, and then went
TO his plantation in South America.
When eighteen years old Miss VIII
kins made her debut. For seven years
she reigned asa belle. and then married
Thomas Hicks, i plain, matter-of-fact
merchant, but man who got deal OF
pleasure out Of his wfe'S social success.
He died ten years later, leaving her an
income OF $50, coo q year.
After her mourning period she went
20 London, where her uncle, Robert
Schenck, was the American Minister.
Through him she met all the notableS,
political and social, at the English cap
ital, and it was then she started her
great receptions which made her famous
in London, Paris and Nice.
Now she is merely memory to the
od-time society folks.

James c. Carter Is another big money
making lawyer, aud his fees amount 30

more than S., 600 year in mis- EImirs
home. But when Hill and Bacon got
into the Fske will case against Cornell
University they divided 100000.
There are a large number OF lawyers
whose fees amount TO more than $50, 200

named Joseph Fl. Cboate, Benjamin +.

rank as the biggest fees ever paid
there.
But all lawyers do not find fees COM
ing in such size as those mentioned.
Some of those who have Offices in New
