Lexington. KY, Dec. 27.-Leslie Combs,
the largest tobacco grower in the world ,
his father-in-law, Daniel Swigert, once
noted as the most successful breeder of
thoroughbreds in America. and his broth
er-in-law, Robert A. SWigert. one of Ken
tucky's most successful turfmen, made
assignments for the benefit of their cred
itors this afternoon.
Mr.. Combs first showed his daring as
an investor when he become one of the in
corporators of the Belt Line Company of
this city several years ago. in which en-
terprise he invested largely. He then
purchased the 400-acre blue grass farm of
the late Major Thomas H. Shelby, cut the
magnificent forest trees off and Guilt
waited the land in tobacco. On another
farm he also had large tobacco planta-
ton, having. cultivated as high as 700
acres a year. He raised good crop
this year and would have made money
had it not been for the war between to-
bacco manufac turers. followed by the or
der received from Europe a few days ago
to stop buying Kentucky tobacco. The
failure Of the Messrs Swigert is due TO
the fact that they had been heavy back
ers of Mr.. Combs.
The amount involved is between 100000
and 100000, the largest deed Of assign
ment ever made in Kentucky. Daniel
Swigert is known to all the old-school
turfmen as the owner of Glenleg, imp.
Prince Charlie, Virgil and other famous
sires. and as the breeder of fremont,

horses He retired from the breeding
business several years ago, closing out

He suggests that the Populist party meet

of reaching an agreement upon candi-

the duchess is hunting for rich wife for
her boy that it occasions very little talk.
1t Is we'll known that she is dreadfully
poor, in the rich meaning of the word,
and that it is quite essential for her nap
piness, as we'll as that of the young
duke, that he should marry rich girl.
Miss May Van Allen, the young girl
whose name has been linked with that
of the duke, has not yet come out" but
that will be attended to in week or
two by a large reception which Mr.. Van
Allen will give at his Newport home.
This coming-out affair promises to be
one of the gala events of the season, as
Mr.. Van Allen knows as much about en-
tertaining as did the late Ward Meal
lister, and that is saying good deal.
The duchess of Manchester and her son
will be the special guests of honor at
this function. and, in fact, they have
been entertained oftener at Mr.. Van
Aliens house than any other place in
Newport. The friendly feeling between
the two families has been so marked
that 1t would not surprise some people if
Mr.. Van Allen and the duchess should
embark upon the matrimonial sea, but
this is not probable.
Miss Van Allen is just 10, and, while she
will not shine as a beauty, she will be
popular girl in the gay world. She was
born abroad, in Paris, and was educat
ed there. She is quite as much of a for
eigner as she is American, although her
parentage is strictly the latter. Her
mother was the eldest daughter of Mrs.
William Astor, her uncle being John ia
cob Astor, the present head of the fam
fly.
AN ASTOR RUCTION.
When her mother married Mr. Van
Allen it created a great ruction in the
Astor family. There had been an an
cient feud between the Astors and the
Van Aliens. and the families We're always
at daggers' points. William Astor, faith
er Of Mrs. Van Allen, tried in every way
to break off the match. He was a hot
tempered man, who treasured animosi-
ties like a miser does his gold. He told
his daughter that he would disown her
if she married Van Allen, but even this
threat did not have the desired effect.
The marriage took place, and then Mr.
Astor settled $4,000 q year or his daugh-
ter, with the understanding that she
would live abroad. At that time Mr.. Van
Allen had not come into his present
wealth, and the $4,000 year had its in
fiuence.
The Van Aliens took up their abode in
Paris and lived there until Mrs. Van
Allen died. She was the prettiest of all
the Astor girls, the others being Mrs
Orme Wilson, Mrs. Coleman Drayton
and the late Mrs. James r. Roosevelt
Mr.. Roosevelt is now secretary to the
United States legation at London.
THE BREACH HEALED.

country with his children he at once be-
came a leading figure in sWelldom. The

was said contributed $50 900 to the Dem
ocratic national campaign fund. After
his election Mr.. Cleveland appointed Mr..
Van Allen minister to Italy, but there
was such hue and cry raised that Mr..
Van Allen declined.
THE BOY DUKE.
The young duke of Manchester will
not be 81 until March 8, 1898. His full
name is William Angus Drogo Montagu.
and he has been in possession of his title
for four years. his father having died in
1892. He was educated at Eton. If the
family exchequer had been more robust
he would have been sent to Oxford.
where there are many fine opportunities
for a young man of his standing to pile
up debts at a terrific pace. He has three
family seats, but none of the estates are
remunerative. They are kimbolton
castle and Brampton park in Hunting
donshire, and Tanderagee castle, Coun-
ty Armagh. Ireland.
The pedigree of the young duke is dis
tinguished. 1t practically begins with
Sir Henry Montagu. who in 1920 was Gre
ated Baron Montagu when he was lord
treasurer of England. In 1926 this gem
tleman was made earl of Manchester.
The fourth earl of Manchester did a
lucky thing when he took sides with
William of Orange. When the latter
scored his historical success he did not
forget the earl. and in 1719 the earl be-
came duke of Manchester.
The young dukes mother is an Ameri-
can. She was Miss Consuelo Yznaga,
daughter Of Antonio Yznaga del Vale,
of Ravenswood. La. In 1855 she was
married to George Victor Drogo Mon
tagu, viscount Vaudeville. Later lord
