family are Sir Augustus Paget, for long

mere, the Earl of Winchelssa, the Duke
OF Argyle, Lord Sidney, LORD Windsor,
Lord Conyngham and Lord Strafford.
The Whitney mansion is now being
furnished up in anticipation of the we'd
ding. which will probably occur some
time in Novembe
Although in the Rockefeller Nc Cor
mick nuptials there will be more millions
concerned than in any of the other we'd
dings, it will doubtless be very quiet
affair. as the Rockefellers have never
moved in the very smart set which con-
trol New York socity.
As the daughter of John D. Rockefel-
Ter, the riclest man in the country. Miss
Edith Rockefeller will probably inherit
betwsen $50, 900. 900 and $40, ,OOc, 900. She
has two sisters and one brother. Mr..
kockefeller's wealth is increasing at a
terrific rate. and is probably somewhere
in the neighobrhood of $16o, 900, 900. 1t
has been estimated as high as $lS5, 900, =.
0O0 but no one knows what it amounts
to. not even tho owner of 1t all.
Miss Edith Rnockefeller is "a years old,
and while not beauty, in society
sense, has a fine, sensible. intelligent
fa'e. She Is a wonderfully fine musician,
playing the cello. violin and piano. She
dresses quietly and plainly and has never
been seen TO wear bit of jewelry worth
500. She has two fine saddle horses,
and when in town rides daily in the
park. She is a cleevr linguist, speaking
many of the languages of continental
Europe and she also unerstands Japanees.
Simplicity is the key note of the Rookie
feller home life, and for this reason the
wedding is bound to be quiet affair.
MISS Alba Rockefeller, the unmarried
sister OF Miss Edith, is as much like the
latter as can be. Their amusements,
studies and charities ars the same and
they are generally to be seen together.
Harold Mccormick, the prospective
husband of Miss Rockefeller, has just
graduated at Princeton. and is now en-
tering into what promises to be an active
business career in Chicago. His father

prising powers of boring into the hard
rocks. The smells of many of these are

OF sharp points. In shape the pholas re-
ssemble. the burrowing mnsssl, but the
front of the she'll is usually larger. AS
in other cases, it is not certainly known
how the boring is accom- plished. Some
observers claim that it is effected by the
foot, which is said to contain fiinty par
ticles. Others have seen the amin al rasp
the rock with the front of the she'll. Prob
ably both methods are employed. 1t is
strange, however, that the sharp points
of the shell are not more worn than they
usually ave.
These mollusks direct their tunnels
straight downward, and consequently
they seldom run into another. They
penetrate hard limestones, sandstones

OF course, there is never an opportunity

raiment, but is not dude: :,
Another wedding which will have a
peculiar interest for Chicago Is that OF
Young George Pullman and Miss Fellcite
Oglesby. The be is the daugh-
ter of ex-Gov. Richard J. Oglesby, OF Elk
hart, Ill. Miss Oglesby is not as wealthy
as her betrothed. who Will some day IN
herit the vast business and fortune which
his father has built up. The wedding
will not take place for year and hall,
the hands of tutors. Young Pullman is
studying at Cornell, while Miss Ogleshy
will pass the next year in Paris, where
the finishing touches will be put upon her
education.
The wedding nearest at hand is that OF
Miss Ethel V. Phelps-Stokes and john
Sherman Hoyt. It will take place at
has the finest house in that region OF
mlllionaires. The ceremony will be per-
formed at Trinity church on Thursday,
October 31st, and there will be recep-
ton at the house which promises to
eclipse in grandeur the Lenox wedding OF
Miss Sloane and J. Townsend Burden.
The bride-to-be is the daughter OF
ter some SIX years ago married Baron
Halkett of England, and settlement OF
S., 900. 900 was made at the time. 1t is
quite probable that Miss Edith will be
equally as fortunate, AS the family is a
iabulously rich one.
There are more than one hundred bed
rooms in Shadowbrook, the Lenox home
of the family. but the house will not be
nearly large enough to accommodate the
thTong of guests which will surely attend
the wedding festivities. The Stokes know
how to entertain better than most people,
and they almost literally burn money
up in their efforts to please everyone.
John Sherman Hoyt is not as rich as
his future wife, but at the least he can
count upon million. His family is a
fac one, and has been socially prominent
for many years.
Little need be said about the approach
ing alliance OF Miss Consuelo Vanderbilt
and the young duke of Marlborough.
They are both the children Of divorced
parents. Notwithstanding the popular be-
lief that it has bsen an exchange of the
Vanderbilt millions for the mighty title
of duchess, it Is patent to all who know
the young people that they are very
deeply in love with each other.
Marlborough is level headed and dem
ocratic. and seems to be made Of finer
stuff than his father was. Miss Consuelo
is so young that she can hardly be called
o woman. She has just passed her eight
eenth birthday. and has been 80 sheltered
that her knowledge OF the world is very
slight. She has quaint style of beauty,
and in few years 81 oald develop into
one OF the most strkingiy handsome

Round alter round was ended by Heenan
smashing Sayers in the face and knock

the punishment manfully, but at times
he could barely walk to the center of the

the aggressor. Sometimes he had to
chase saye.s all over the ring and corner
him before he would fight. Half o dozen
times the Englishman was knocked
through the ropes and had to be carried
to bis corner.
In the thirty ninth round Heenan got
Sayers' head in chancery and was pun
i.hing him terrifically. The Englishman
was all but out when his friends cut the
, ropes and the fighters were thrown to the

He was an adept at hitting a man and

Bendigo, when pitted against a big,

The Ball Game.

Last Sunday a large number of
people came down from the Com
stock to witness the game of ball
between the Stars of that place and
the Dayton nine. Atabout2 o'clock
the game was called by umpire
MCGOWAN, of Carson. The first in
ming promised that the game would
be a good one, but in the second in
ming Randall, the pitcher for the
Daytons, got ratified and kink in
his arm, and allowed the Virginia
nine to make nine runs. There, was
not much excitement in the game
after that, and at the end of the
ninth inning the score was "a to 6
in favor of the Comstockers. There
were two or three fine plays made
by the Dayton boys, and outside Of
the pitching that day they played
much better game than the Vir-
ginia nine. With pitcher equal to
the one in the Virginia nine there
is still some money here that says
they can make the Comstockers
ashamed of themselves as ball toss
ers. Harry Randall, who pitched
for Dayton Sunday, has done good
work in the box in many games,
but for some reason he fell all to
pieces last Sunday. In all probable
ity there will be another game be-
tween the two mines in the near
future. Nobody here is kicking. The
boys lost the game and their money,
and are willing to take another
chance and try to win it back.
