and Mrs. Duncan Elliott also entered So
ciety. 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 whispered she declin-
ed an offer from John Jacob Astor.
She is blonde of the purest type,
with heavy coils of yellow hair, a pink
and white complexion and blue eyes.
Some of the mammas of less beautiful
daughters declare she had a doll baby
face, but the reason of their criticisms
were fully understood. Miss Bends
father, George H. Bend, is not known
very much outside of swelldom. He
still leads cotillions and the younger
men who aspire to GUST him could learn
volumes from him. He is society man
and devotes himself entirely to the
pleasures of the smart sex.
REASONS OF THE DOUBTERS.
There are some who do not place much
confidence in the rumors of the engage
ment between Mr.. Vanderbilt and Miss
Bend, while they would very much like
to see the marriage take place. Mr..
Vanderbilt has long been recognized
as an admirer of the duchess of Man.
chester, who was formerly Consuelo
Yznaga. His daughter Consuelo, who
married the duke of Marlborough, was
named after the duchess of Manchester,
to the chagrin of Mrs. w. K. Vanderbilt,
now Mrs. Belmont.
1t was the duchess of Manchester who
caused the first row between Willie K.
Vanderbilt and his wife at the time
she was Lady Vaudeville, ner husband
not having then succeeded to the duke
dom. 1t was while she was paying a
visit to the Vanderbilts shortly after
their marriage that Mrs. Willie K.
claimed that her husband was too at
tentive to the titled visitor. Mrs. Willie
K. threatened a 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 a talking to, which re-
suited in Lady Vaudeville leaving the
Willie K. house without much cere-
mony. AS result of this Willie K. mar
rowly escaped being left but a small
share of his fathers estate, as the old
gentleman was terribly opposed to any
thing that shattered of scandal. Cor
nelius interceded in Willie KS behalf,
and the father relented before he died.
The few times that Willie K. and the
duchess of Manchester have met since
the unfortunate episode showed. &C
cerding to observing friends. that Willie

Folr Huge Matrironia1 contract..

New York, Feb. 1S.-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 per-
sons of unusual note. In one breath she
says two Vanderbilts, one Astor and one
Belmont are to marry. If she should
prove correct 1896 will be notable year
in the matrimonial line.
In the first place 1t is said that Will
lam K. Vanderbilt, the $50, 100000 gen.
tleman, whose ex-wife is now Mrs. o.
HI. p. Belmont, and whose daughter is
the duchess of Marlborough, Is to mar
ry Miss Amy Bend. Such a wedding
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 counted
upon to entertain on scale heretofore
uninterrupted in this country.
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 Ter
rance Blackwood, and Sallie Hargous

1nsult to the Dean ana chap,er.

Westminster Gazette quotes delightful
story told by one of the speakers at the
meeting of the Catholic Truth Society,
held in Bristol. A pious Catholic once
visited Westminster Abbey. Withdrawing
into a quiet corner to pursue his private
devotions, he was summoned in stentorlan
tones to come and view the royal tombs
and chapels.
But 1 have seen the royal tombs," po-
litely rejoined the stranger. II only wish
to say my prayers"
Prayers is over"
'Still suppose there can be no objec-
ton to my saying my prayers quietly
here?" mildly pleaded the stranger.
mo objection, sir?" said the irate ver-
ger why. it would be an insult to the
dean and chapterp
This is worthy of Sydney Smith and dis
tinctly better than the older form of the
legend in which the verger sternly de-
clares that mo fancy prayers are allowed
here"

K. had not forgotten his fondness for
her. In view of this his engagement to
Miss Bend is not strongly credited by
those whose memories can carry them
back dozen years or so.
YOUNG CORNEEL'S WOES.
The second engagement talked of Is
that of young Cornelius Vanderbilt Jr
and Miss Grace Wilson, daughter of
Richard T. Wilson, who has made five
millions since the war. and who has
married off his children with more sue
cess than any other papa in society. One
of his daughters married Ogden Goelet,
Another married Michael Herbert, of
the British embassy in Washington: his
son, Orme Wilson, married Carrie Astor,
sister of John Jacob, and now, If Miss
Grace marries the future head of the
Vanderbilt millions, the Wilson family
will be about the most powerful in the
land.
Thirty-five years ago the fortunes of
the Wilson's seemed mighty slim Rich
ard T. 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 SER
vice, but at the end of the war it was
generally supposed that his riches
Cottonwood report. [volume] (Cottonwood, Idaho) 1893-1901, 1896-02-28

amounted to nothing. He came to New
York with some capital, and by some
lucky speculations in southern railroad
stocks and in cotton managed to pile
up a neat sum. This has been growing
ever since. and today he is one of the
powers in Wall street.
MIGHT HAVE Welded A Barring.
Three years ago it was announced
that Miss Grace Wilson was engaged
Young Cornelius is a quiet, sober
don. There was some disputes as to the
settlements, and the engagement was
broken. Miss Wilson is 20, while young
Cornelius is only 90. His family is OPP
posed to the match because of the dis
parity in their ages, so he was sent
abroad as soon as Cornelius Sr found
out the condition of affairs. Miss VIII
son is now abroad, and the latest re-
ports say that the future owner of $780,
100000 is paying her more attention than
ever.
YoungCornelius is a 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 " TOySleTlHSs dllHOuSn lie ndu the
biggest income of any student in the
place. He paid more attention to books
than to sports, and his chums were the
quiet fellows, who took college life seri-
ously.
Upon his graduation his father placed
him at work, in a 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 employee of the road, so
that when the time came for him to
take charge he would have a practical
knowledge of the business. This SEN
sible plan has been knocked into smith
erens by the young man falling in love
in the wrong place, and being forced TO
take European trip.

Seattle Times: Colonel James M. Ver-
non, who engineers the Times Of Everett,
has been working hard for the nomina-
ton of Hon. 8. G. Cosgrove for governor;
but some of his journalistic friends have
suggested that maybe the gallant colonel
himself is after all ''the man from Gal
way" The colonel replies to the compli-
ments in a way that is charming for its
naivette. He assures them that he is still
advocating Mr.. Cosgroves claims and
that Mr.. Cosgrove is entitled to the NOM
nation. This is very loyal, but it is also
very coy. still advocating suggests
that a little more urging would still the
advocacy. Brother Vernon had better be
very careful. He may have read of a
certain fair dame who,
whispering 1 will ne'er consent, con-
sented,"
although 1T is right to say that the gallant
colonel has not even whispered negative.
He has contented himself with saying that
Mr.. Cosgrove is entitled to the nomination.

COST AND CARE OF a HOTn0UsI
May BE Economically heated BY n Stove
sunk " ell Down.
A dollhouse need not be an expensive
affair to be useful. 1t is economy to
make it so tight by battening cracks
and a layer of building paper that no
wind can get through, says the Grange
Visitor. 1 find that a building simply
wide enough to accommodate a seven
foot sash does very wei. Such building
may be heated ineXpensively by stove
sunk well down and delivering its smoke
into fiue made of sewer pipes. The
stove should be placed at the end where
you enter, and the chimney should rise
from the far end. A house to start onion
or tomato plants can be constructed for
perhaps 121a cents square foot of glass
area, by one doing his own work.
When your spring crop of plants is
out, if you are small farmer you may
find your house useful to store some
flats, ETC., under the benches. l should
advise putting on a temporary roof,
that the sash be not warped by the
heat Of summer. When fall comes one
finds dollhouse handy for curing seed
corn, onion sets, etc. 1 used mine to
ripen tomatoes in after frosts came,
and followed these by bushels of seed
corn.
The last use of the year for the sash,
however, will please many who perhaps
have not seen such. We built rough
sheds into which our heL houses open
and left an opening at the south end
in each shed 7x6. Across these openings
Chicken wire was stretched. On the
approach of clustering weather two
sashes were slipped into each opening,
one above the other, and secured in
place. This gives sheltered and warm
place for hens to scratch. hope we
will find our scratching sheds to be egg
factories during the cold weather.

Among the Congratulations One From
Whatcom County.
Since Tillman's speech In the senate
he has received over $500 letters Of con-
graduation. A Washington Star re-
porter was permitted to look over some
of these letters. They are from every
state In the Union. Some of them con-
tain resolutions from granger and
knights of Labor organizations indors-
ing the senator's speech, and all of
them ask for copies of it. The public
would be interested in some of these
letters and resolutions.
One letter is from Whatcom county.
Washington, and states that at a mass
meeting of the citizens of this enorth-
westernmost county in the United
States the following resolutions were
adopted without a dissenting voice.,
ETC., and then follows the resolutions
of praise for Senator Tillman. In these
resolutions all kinds of charges Of cor
ruption of law makers and of Cleveland
are made. Another letter is from st
Delmo, ILL.,, and is signed by a ''trium-
virate of democrats" whose names are
given; another from Perryville, Ind.

he can get the electoral vote of that

"D-n senatorial courtesy when it
comes in conflict with senatorial back
bone and manliness;'' one from Union,
w. Va. congratulates him for having
said what should have been said years
ago."
Tillman's private secretary says that
he received 450 letters the third day af-
ter the speech. One letter dominates
Allen and Tillman as the populist nomi-
nees this year. Tillman is being sought
to make speeches throughout the south

reason for not doing SO is that he is a
poor man, and will be unable to stand
