FOREIGNERS IN PARIS

OF all the capitals of Europe, Paris
has the most strangers within her
gates, her foreign colony, according to
the latest statistics which have just
been made public, numbering ISL 900
souls. The proportion Of strangers
or foreigners, in Paris is rs to the 1000
population. In London and Vienna
the proportion is much less. being but
% to the 1000, and at st. Petersburg it
ia "a. In Berlin. however, it fall 8 low
est of all, for the German capital has
but IL strangers to every 1000 of her
population.
There are but 397 French peop le in
Berlin. At Paris. on the other hand,
there are 26,S63 Germans, whose resi-
dence there is an established one. This
number does not include those who
are German, who hide their nationality,
Of whom there are said to be many.
OF the foreign colonies which have
established themselves in Paris, by far
the largest is that of the Belgians, who
number $4,000. The Swiss come next
with 26000, and the Italians follow,
being 21 900 in number.
To the aggregate of 13i 900 foreigners,
who are not citizens of France though
they are permanent residents of Paris,
should be added about Al, 900 people of
diverse nationalities who have COM
piled with the complicated require
ments of the French law and have be-
come citizens of the Republic.
The parts played by this quarter of
a million foreigners in Paris are i'm
portant and diverse. Sixteen thousand
of them are clerks and the like; $500
are handicraftsmen of various sorts,
and 17,000-these mostly women-aie
domestic servants. About 5000 more
women find employment as teachers
and goveruesses, which is point that
the French papers are making an out
cry against just now, believing in the
motto. apparently, of France for the
French"
These foreigners also add much to
the material wealth of the city, in the
payment of the many taxes which are
levied, for some eight thousand of
them are "rentiers," which may be
freely translated as being "wcll to do"
In the learned professions nearly
every nationality is strongly repre-
sented In Paris, as we'll as every
where else in the world, the American

Four Huge Matrimonial Con-
tracts on Hand
IF DAME RUMOR IS RIGHT
New York Gossip About Handsome
Women
Two vanderbiits, an As.or and Belmont
Said to Be Contemplating the Great
Step-Revives Unique Stories

New YORK, Feb. Z.
Our old friend, Dame Rumor, seems
to have shaken all of the reefs out of
her tongue of late, for she has been
juggling with famous names in most
liberal fashion. Four marriages have
been marked out by the busy old lady,
and they all concern persons of un-
usual note. In one breath she says
two Vanderbilts, one Astor and one
Belmont are to marry. II she should
prove correct 1895 will be notable
year in the matrimonial line.
In the first place it is said that Will
liam X. Vanderbilt, the $S0,000000 gen.
tleman, whose ex-wife is now Mrs. O..
81. p. Belmont, and whose daughter is
the duchess of Marlborough, is to
marry Miss Amy Bend. Such we'd
ding would be more than pleasant to
New York society people, because Miss
Bend is a great favorite, famous
beauty, and with the income of eighty
millions at her command she could be

Willie h. house without much cere-
mony. AS result of this Willie X.
narrowly escaped being left but small
share of his fathers estate, as the old
gentleman was terribly opposed to any
thing that shattered of scandal. Cor
nelius interceded iu Willie KS behalf,
and the father relented before he died.
The few times that Willie X. and the
duchess of Manchester have met since
the unfortunate incident showed, &C.
cording to observing friends, that
Willie X had not forgotten his fond
ness for her. In view of this his en-
gagement to Miss Bend is not strongly
credited by those whose memories Can
carry them back dozen years or SO.
The second engage ment talked of is
that of young Cornelius Vanderbilt, jr..
and Miss Grace Wilson, daughter of
Richard L. Wilson, who has made five
millions since the war, and who has
married off his children with more
success than any other papa in society.
One of his daughters married Ogden
Goelet, another married Michael Her
bert of the British embassy in Wash
ington; his son, Orme Wilson, married
Carrie Astor, sister Of John

lions, the Wilson family will be about
the most powerful in the land.
Thirty-fiye years ago the fortunes of
the Wilson's seemed mighty slim.
Richaro L. Wilson was sent abroad by
the confederate states to arrange for
the sale of it's cotton. He was given
the rank OF major in the confederate
81 rvice, but at the end of the war it
WAS generally supposed that his riches
amounted to nothing. He came to
New York without capital, and by some
lucky speculations in southern railroad
stocks and in cotton managed to pile
up neat sum. This has been growing
ever since since, and today he is one
Of the powers in Wall street.
Three years ago it was announced
that Miss Grace Wilson was engaged to
Cecil Barring of Barring Bros, London.
There was some disputes as to the
settlements, and the engagement was

ing smilaX, laurel or asparagus vine

wreaths may be placed at the four cor

Or they may be used at two corners,

now being built right next to it, on the
not ended yet.
After he got the sulks William Wal
dorf Astor packed up and went to Lon
don, where he bought daily paper
and couple OF periodicals in an effort
to rivet the attention of the British
populace upon himself.
Lady Randolph Churchill was one of
the pretty Jerome girls, famous in
New York society twenty years ago.
There we're three sisters-Jennie, now
Lady Churchill; Leonie. now Mrs. Jack
Leslie, and Clara, now Mrs. Morton
Frewen. They all married English
men. and are favorites in London So
ciety. Lady Churchill's husband died
only q year ago, and Mrs. William
Waldorf Astor has been dead but
year.
If the marriage takes place it will
probably be very quiet one, although
William Waldorf Astor is such an &C.
centric man that it would be unsafe to
say what he might do.
From st. Louis comes the rumor
that Miss Belle Mulhall is to wed
Belmont of New York, presumably
Perry Belmont. The young lady is
credited with being the most beautiful
woman in the Mound City. She has
just completed her education, and has
been in society less than year. When
the artist, John Wilton Cunningham,
was in search of model for his famous
mural painting in the Planters hotel,
he induced Miss Mulhall to pose for
him, that he might perpetuate her
beauty on canvas. Miss Mulhall comes
of the old French stock which origi-
nally estab ished st. Louis.

broken. Miss Wilson is 20, while young
Cornelius is only %. His family is op-
posed to the match because of the dis
parity in their ages, 30 he was sent
abroad as soon as Cornelius Sr. found
ont the condition of affairs. Miss Will
son is now abroad, and the latest re-
ports say that the future owner of
$l000O0000 is paying her more atten-
ton than ever.
Young Cornelius is quiet, sober
minded chap, who seems destined to
make success Of the important role
he must play in the world of finance.
His college days in Yale were never
given over to registering, although he
had the biggest income of any student
in the place. He paid more attention
to books than to sports, and his chum 8
were the quietest fellows, who took
college life seriously.
Upon his graduation his father placed
him at work, in clerical capacity, in
the Office of the Central railroad. 1t
was the intention of the elder Wander
bilt to make the boy work his way up,
like any other employe of the road, so
that when the time came for him to
take charge he would have practical
knowledge of the business. This sem
siole plan has been knocked into smith
Greens by the young man falling in
love in the wrong place, and being
forced to take European trip.

gagement Of William Waldorf Astor
and Lady Randolph Churchill. While

and parentage, they out-English the
English in their loyalty to British
ways and customs.
William Waldorf Astor got into a
sulk one day because swelldom refused
to acknowledge his late wife as the
Mrs. Astor. He regarded himself as
the head of the Astor family, and as
sumed that society should recognize
his wife as the head Of swelldom. Mrs.
William Astor, however, came out
ahead in the quaint struggle, and then
he had his fathers house pulled down
and the Hotel Waldorf erected in its
place. This had the desired effect of
driving Mrs. William Astor out of her
house on the adjoining lot, and NOV
ing to house further uptown. A big
ger and finer hotel than the Waldorf is

counted upon to entertain on scale
heretofore uninterrupted in this coun-
try.
Eight years ago Miss Bend was one
of the most talked about beauties in
the metropolis. The same season she
made her debut Flora Davis, now Lady
Torrance Blackwood, and Sallie Har-
gous and Mrs. Duncan Elliott also en-
tered society. They were three Of the
greatest beauties in the history of the
city. Miss Bend had many offers of
marriage and at one time it was whis-
pered she declined an offer from John
Jacob Astor.
She is blonde of the purest type,
with heavy coils of yellow hair and a
pink and white complexion and blue
eyes. Some of the mammas of less
beautiful daughters declared she had a
doll baby face, but the reasons Of their
criticisms were fully understood. Miss
Bends father, George II. Bend, is not
known very much outside Of swelldom.
He still leads cotillions and the young
er men who aspire to oust him could
learn volumes from him. He is a soci-
ETY. man and devotes him self entirely
to the pleasures of the smart set.
There are some who do not place
much confidence in the rumor5 of the
engagement between Mr.. Vanderbilt
and Miss Bend, while they would very
much like to see the marriage take
place. MIR. Vanderbilt has long been
recognized as an admirer of the Ouch
ess of Manchester, who was formerly
Consuelo fznaga. His daughter Con-
suelo, who married the Duke of Marl-
borough, was named after the Duchess
of Manchester, to the chargin of Mrs.
w. X. Vanderbilt, now Mrs. Belmont.
It was the Duchess of Manchester
who caused the first row between
Willie K. Vanderbilt and his wife at
the time she was Lady Vaudeville, her
ehshand not having then succeeded to
the dukedom. It was while she WAS
yayng visit to the Vanderbilts short
Iy after their marriage that Mrs. Willie
X. cii,imed that her husband was too
attentive to the titled visitor. Mrs.
Willie X. threatened separation then
and there, and she went to see her
father-in-law, William X. Vanderbilt,
about it.
The old gentleman sent for his son
and gave him talking to, which re-

men in any way, for the reason that
diamond cutting was not an established
industry here. But the treasury de-
partment agents made a thorough re-
search of the whole matter and dis
covered that Americans did know
something of the art.
1t seems that back in 1861 diamond
expert named Morse, living in Boston,
made several experiments in the cut
ting of rough stones. He failed sig.
nally to obtain fine results, but be
gained knowledge which was of use to
him later on. He became associated
with diamond dealer named Pray
and they decided to bring over some
Amsterdam cutters. Mr. Morse, how
ever, kept his eyes open, and presently
learned the secrets of the trade. He
then established in secret an auxiliary

secrets OF the art. Mechanics were in
crude state then, and work which re-
quired months to accomplish is done
now in hours. The conditions which
surrounded the work in olden times
were such that it was comparatively
eaay to conceal the knowledge, aud the
art was handed down from ather to
son as a rich heritage.
Some two years ago one Of the largest
diamond concerns in Maiden L ane con-
ceived the idea Of doing it's own cut
ting. Emissaries we're sent to Amster-
dam and arrangements we're made
by which number OF the most expert
cutters were to come here and do the
work. But the agents here of the con-
tract labor law got wind OF the scheme
and took steps to prevent the importa.
ton of the Hollanders.
The Maiden Lane people set up the
novel plea that the coming of the Am-
sterdam cut ers would not interfere
