Marlborough and became mistress
of Blenheim Palace, one of the most
famous places in England. 1t was re-
garded as a stupendous leap in the So
cial arena, from position of daughter
CT retired admiral of the United
States navy to be mistress of Blenheim.
She had made one furious step in the
matrimonial Inca very fortunate
one according to the worldly view,
when she married Louis Hamersley.
When he died, which he did shortly
after his marriage, he left his widow
the income for life of his entire for
tune, amounting to six millions. This
gave Mrs. Hamersiey something like
$3.50, 600 a year to spend.
When the rich widow married the
duke he was on the verge of financial
dissolution. His estates were mort
gagged to the hilt, his credit was ex-
hausted, and to raise ready money he
had to sell the greater part of the
picture gallery of Blenheim, which in
cluded some of the most valuable paint
ings in the world. On her first visit
/ to Blenheim the new duchess found it
almost untcnable. 1t was necessary
to renovate and refurniSh it on an
elaborate scale, and this last was at
once begun. The cost was $7O0000 and
the bill is still unpaid. The duchess
when she contracted for the work.
thought she could get the ready money
from her estate, but she discovered
her mistake. The tradesmen insisted
upon a settlement of their bills, law
suits were begun, and after consider
able international legislation the
courts decided that she must pay the
debts in installments OF $4,000 a year.

possibly get along if her annual in
come were less than 100000.
All this was a sad blow to the duke.

time the position of the duchess was
, never pleasant one in English society.

his first wife, who had secured a di-
vorce from him, and the many intrigues

the doors of many families were closed

not cordially received, and when he

A NOBLE FRENCH MARQUIS.
One of Mrs. W. K. Nanderbilts sis
tiers, Miss Julie Smith, married a.
French nobleman, the Marquis de Fon-

generally supposed by her friends that

a title as the acme of everything
desirable-a goal to be reached ut
any costa state to acquire at the
sacrifice of all other ambitions and
beliefs. With a wild flourish of
trumpets and a tidal wave of &C.
static delight the Gould family has
just connected itself with a noble
man of France. AS the government
of France is conducted on lines par
ailel to those of the United States,
it's nobility is merely an echo of
former times. The nobleman has no
privileges that the ordinary citizen
cannot enjoy; his title has 10 official
recognition; his grandeur is empty.
But he has a title, and charming
New York girl with fifteen millions
has just married it.
Another American girl famed as
a beauty the world over is about to
take similar step in the recently
announced engagement of Miss Lei
ter, daughter of the Chicago mill
ionaire, to the Hon. c. CurZon, NJ.

the American girl had social
honors showered upon her at
every court in Europe. But the
prince was terrific gambler.
The enormous allowance generously
made by Mr.. Mackay to the couple
was spent before it was received.
Debts accumulated at a terrific rate.
Time after time they were paid by
Mr.. Mackay upon promises of re-
form made by the prince. At last
the almost linaitless patience of the
millionaire became exhausted; the
wife could stand the i'll usage no
longer, and the separation, which
created such sensation about a
year ago, occurred. With her chill
dren, the princess, attended by her
brother, fed to this country, and is
now in California. The announce

MRS. BURKE-ROCHE'SS SAD TIME.
Mrs. BurkeRoche, the daughter of
Frank Work, one of the best known
of New York big millionaires, mar
ried the Irish gentleman with the
hyphenated name some ten years ago.
He is the eldest son of a lord, and in
the ordinary course of nature will
some day inherit the title 1t may have
been the prospective title that had
something to do with the marriage, as
Miss Work was a very ambitious
young lady Four years of married
life with the future nobleman showed
the American girl that her happiness
depended upon a separation. She came
to this country with twin sons, and,
going to Delaware, secured a divorce.
Mrs. Burke-Roche is ore of the hand
soonest society women in New York
today. She has a magnificent figure,
is always splendidly gowned, and is a
regular promenader on Fifth avenue,
where she is to be seen every morning
walking with her two boys.

series of imperial honors to his father.
The invalid and crippled soldiers of
the Franco-German war have been
for years trying vainly to get the
reichstag to increase the amount of
their pensions. Representatives of
the Veterans association, which num-
bers 1900, will meet during the coming
week, adopt resolutions and send a
deputation to the emperor to ac-
quaint him with the miserable condi-
ton of many disabled veterans. The
old soldiers will also send a deputa-
ton to the bundesrath and to the
reichstag with instructions to request
additional legislation looking to an
Increase of the pension fund.
1t is stated that the emperor, upon
the occasion of the anniversary of
the birthday of his grandfather, EN-
peror William l., Friday next, will
issue a decree having for it's object to
aid the widows and orphans of the
war of 1901. There is no decrease in

INFLUENZA.
There have been $50 deaths in Berlin
alone. Among those who have re-
covered from attacks of this malady
are the Grand Duke of Mecl1lenburg-
Schwerin, the Princess of Saxe-Mein-
ingen, Prince Alexander of Prussia
and Herr Won Koeller, the Prussian
minister of the interior. Among the
new cases of Influenza are the follow
ing notable people: Prince HohenZoll-
ern, the Princess Won Furstenberg,
daughter of the late duchess of San
gam; Countess Durckheim and the
noted Centrist leader, Baron Scho-
lemer-Alst
The deaths from influenza include
Prince Walbeck and Dr. Schoenfeld.
A mysterious ailment broke out a
week ago in Berlin, chiefly in the
suburb of Shoenborg. 1t takes the
form of inflammation and pustules in
the mouths and threats, accompanied
by high fever and thirst Prof. Vir-
chow, who has investigated the out
break, is of the opinion that it is due
to infection by partaking of the milk
of diseased cows. Some medical men
believe that it is human form of the
foot and mouth diseases hitherto pc
culiar to cattle.
In the reichstag today the minister
of foreign affairs, Won Bieberstein,

WASHINGTON, March 16.-Last
summer the United States secured the
extradition in Germany of a fugitive
named Jacob David, on a charge of
forgery, a crime included in the pro-
visions of the extradition treaty.
When he reached the United States
he was tried on what really amounted
to a charge of embezzlement The
German government resented this, as
embezzlement was not one of the
specified crimes in the treaty. The
United States government sought at
the time to have this offense included
in an amendment, but without result.

IN LABOR'S FIELD.
NEWS AND NOTES.

The transfer of the MANAGEMENT of
Labor hall from a board composed of a
delegate from each of the unions, and
known as the cooperative hall board,
to the trades and labor assembly al
ready shows signs of being a wise
move. The assembly has placed the
control of the halls in the hands of a
committee, composed of Harry Frank
lin, chairman; John L. Kreiger, secre-
tary; c. H. Bonn, w. E. Noyes and l..
j. Hughes. This committee of hustlers
has been theoretically at work, and has
already made considerable progress
toward improving the financial and
material condition of the halls. The
plan contemplated is to completely rem
ovate the entire building, making the
various rooms suitable for meetings of
societies, clubs and all manner of or
CARNATIONS. To achieve this result
will mean the expenditure of a large
sum, and it is the purpose Of the COM
mittee to visit the various unions and
seek their financial assistance. Their
efforts in this direction during the past
week have been most encouraging, lib
eral responses having been made.
Other unions will be visited during the
next month, and when all have been
heard from it is expected that the COM
mittee will be able to wipe out the
debt now existing and have enough on
hand to meet the expense of the i'm
provements now contemplated.
The carpenters union held very
successful open meeting last Tuesday
evening and much enthusiasm was Gre
ated by speeches from John F. Kreiger,
c. Fl. Bonn and l.. ]. Hughes. The
membership Of the carpenters is being
added to every week, and the coming
season promises to be decided i'm
provement over previous conditions in
their trade. Before adjourning, num-
Der of members volunteered their SER
vices to the committee in charge of the
halls, in response to a request for aid in
improving the building.
The cigarmakers decided at their
meeting Thursday night to hold a ball
Easter Monday. The sum of $25 was
donated towards improving Labor
hall. No improvement in trade con-
dition was reported.
The bricklayers held a well attend
ed meeting Thursday night No bust
ness of public Importance was trans
acted. One member was initiated.
H. S. Woodward, district organizer
of the International Typographical
union, is in Winnipeg, where he has
gone to adjust difficulty existing in
the newspaper Offices there.
The pressfeeders are youthful in
years, it is true, but so far as an ap-
probation or understanding of the adj
vantages of organization is concerned,
they are old heads, indeed. Not salts
fed with being thoroughly organized
themselves, they have decided to fur
Their fortify themselves by organic
ing the platen pressfeeders. A meet
ing will be held Thursday night for
this purpose, when 1t is expected an
important auxiliary will be added by
gathering in the ''cubs.''
The A. r. U. held a rousing meeting

touring this country the Baron de
Steurs, a Belgian nobleman of fine,
manly qualities, met the lady, fell in
love with her, and their marriage
speedily followed. 1t was regarded as
a love match, and the first years of the
union confirmed this opinion. The hus-
bands fortune was greater than the
wife's, and there was no talk of Amer
lean gold buying title. Children
blessed the union, and the couple lived
seemingly happy.
Three years ago a great sensation
was created when it became known
that the De Steurs had separated. The
husband retained the children, and the
baroness went to South Dakota. where
she secured a divorce on one of the
trivial charges permitted in that inter
esting country. The following day
after securing the divorce she married
mr.. Zborowski. When the lady's
brother, Hamilton Astor Cary. died
about two years ago, he left fortune
of several millions, which he divided
among mis- relatives, but without leav-
ing Mrs. Zborowski a cent She was
completely ignored in the will.
WOES OF A DUCHESS.
When Miss Consuelo Yznaga became
the Duchess of Manchester it was
thought to be wonderfully fine match
by her New York friends. She is a.
sister of Fernando Yznaga, who mar
ried Mabel Wright, the famous beauty.
She is now suing him for divorce. His
hrst wife, who was Miss Gerry Smith
a sis ter of Mrs. W. K Vanderbilt and
the Marquise de Fontelleat, secured a
divorce from him in California.
The domestic life of the Duchess of
Manchester was generally believed to
be most unhappy. The duke belonged
to that class of titled Englishmen who
love to shower favors upon the queens
of the concert halls and the ballet.
The duchess is a fine woman. who
never openly complained, and by. this
she gained the sympathy of a wide
circle of friends.
