They Are Legal Tender.

The NoRT,IERSEn has heretofore
given the legal tender qualities that
attach to the various different kinds
of government currency, but a per-
sistent effort is made on the part of
the populists and their deluded fol-
lowers to create false impression
in the minds of the people by the
repeated statement, both printed and
oral, that silver dollars are legal
tender only for the limited sum OF
FIVE dollars, when, in point of fact,
their legal tender capacity is without
limit, except by special contract.
The following is the language of the
statute: "There shall be coined at
the several minis of the United States
silver dollars of the weight of 4l29
grains troy standard silver as provid-
ed in the act of January Is, 1887, on
which shall be the devices and super.
scriptions provided by said act;
which coins together with all silver
dollars heretofore coined by the
United States of like weight and
fneness shall be a legal tender at theil
nominal value for all debts and dues
public and private except where
otherwise expressly stipulated il

Men and Women Patrons.

There is great difference in men
and women in their methods OF buying
shoes. This, says Shoe and Leather
Facts, is the opinion of retailer who
handles footwear for both sexes.
The additional time given to suiting
the fair sex is by no means lost. II
a woman Is satisfactorily suited she
is apt to be a more valuable and
permanent patron than a man. She
often talks about her footwear to her
friends, whereas n man seldom does.
She expatiates on the satisfaction in
style and fit which her shoes, purchased
at such and such a store, give her, and
she never forgets to mention how at
tentive and obliging the sales people in
the store are. This latter has its due
effect, and the first time her friends ex.
perience, or fancy they do, any lack of
attention in the store they have been
ian the habit of dealing in heretofore,
they resolve to visit the one which
they have heard is noted for politeness
and attention to patrons. In many
ways IL pays to be especially attentive
20 lady patrons and not To grudge them
all the time they wish to consume when
purchasing footwear.

not that of one who has seen the whole

at twenty-three.
The Dukes fortune consists only OF

New York, and she wells knows that
she must give her stepson what she
may wish him to have now, or he will
never get it.
Regarded from the American stand
| point, this marriage of the Duke OF
! Marlborough is the most important one
of the generation. Miss Vanderbilt. of
! fine family, will be the only American
! girl of title who has stepped into the
| dukedOm under entirely favorable cir
| cumstances Others have married di-
vorced dukes, paupered ones, dukes of
small repute or dukes of positively bad
name. The offer of the young Duke Of
} Marlborough to an American girl may
be signalized as the first one Of record
where thoroughly desirable Prince of
the Holy Roman Empire zone of the
Dukes honorary titles has given his
hand to a thoroughly desirable Ameri-
can girl, and one who is not such a
great heiress as to smack too much of
| fortune-seeking on the part of the
Duke.
Friends of Mrs. Willie X. Wander

/ the greatest happiness of a rather dis
appointing life. Married herself from
/ comparative poverty to enormous
wealth, and finding the experience an
unhappy one from the beginning. she
has kept youthful and hopeful for her
/ daughters sake. When Consuelo be-
/ comes the Duchess of Marlborough Mrs
/ Willie K. viii consider all her disap-
/ pointments well compensated for. At

never forgiven COrnelia Bradley Martin

Probably no young woman in Ameri-
ca will make a better Duchess than
Miss Consuelo, as her life has been
spent with Duchesses. Her mothers
intimate for years was Consuelo, Ouch

Consuelo was named. And she has

ess will feel more at home with people
of title than with plain untitled folk.
The Duke will cut a wide swath in
America. 1t is safe to predict that none
broader was ever beheld. His speech
in the House of Lords last month was
so clever and so we'll delivered that
statesmen will entertain him. His
friends are people of talent, and that
will introduce him to Americas lit
terati, and his title opens society to
him.
He will almost to a certainty come

an entire certainty, will be one Of the
most beautiful heiresses OF whom Brit

According TO the other, the young
lady has been already found by his
Dukeship and he goes to America to
announce his engagement and to be
married in great style in few months.
There is more foundation for the
truth of the latter than Of the former,
for the friends of Lady William Beres-
ford stoutly cling to the rumor OF the
Dukes American bethrothal for year
past. and some go so far as to say that
he will. to a certainty, be married this
autumn.
The young lady is, in the tongues of
all. Miss ConsuelO Vanderbilt, eldest
child of Alva Smith and Willie Il. Van
derbilt. and herself very brilliant
girl. as well as a great heiress. She
is quite handsome in the eyes of the
British. although a little too much Of
her mothers Spanish type fingers
around the dropping eyes and ~jinted
chin to be the wholly rudy ideal Of
the English. If the Duke chooses her,
she will hold her own with the beauu-

ALL WANT AMERICANS.
When The Duke of Marlborough mar
ries an American girl he will be the
third of the Churchill family to choose
brides Of that country. His uncle, Lord
Randolph Churchill, married Jennie
Jerome. daughter Of Leonard Jerome,
of New York, and his father married
Mrs. Lily Price Hamersley, OF the same
citv. Both lived exceptionally brilliant
and happy lives after their American
marriages. and there has been bred in
the young Duke the strongest admira'
ton for American women.
The men Of Marlborough, from the
first Duke down TO the present day,
have been peculiar and sel1-Wllled
Their own ideas of what was right and
of self-enjoyment have been relentless

vorce he loved the American Ouch

not allow her TO spend all her income
on him. and she had to content herself
with fixing up the family estate, Blen-
helm. For her sake he husbanded his
already depleted fortune, gave UP dis
sOlute WAYS, turned gentleman farmer
and remained a model, though hating
TO the last the MarchiOness Blandford.
