Almost Immediately after this scan

for this country in splendid yacht

even New York society closed It's

and Mrs. Blair went to live While
they were there the duchess died and
in less than four months Mrs. Blair
became the duchess of Sutherland
In September 1892, the duke died at
his ancestral home. leaving to his
widow as much of his property as

duke contested the will in court on
the ground that his stepmother had

was arrested for burning an important
document which she had received
judicial permission to inspect On

CENTER OF MANY SENSATIONS.
The Duchess of Sutherland, Who Has
Just Lost Her Diamonds

In the course of her somewhat
stormy career the duchess of Suther-
land has been the leading figure in
numerous sensations of one kind or
another At present she is bewaillng
the loss of $4,000 worth of jewels,
stolen from her while she was en-
route from Paris to London, This
much begossiped woman was born
about fifty-ive years ago. the youngest
daughter of Rev. DR.. Richard Mitchell,
principal of Hartford college, London.
While a mere girl she married Cap
tain Arthur Blair, who had charge or
the duke Of Sutherlands deer forests.
With him she lived in apparent happi-
ness for a number of years. The cap
tain was killed by the accidental dis
charge Of a gun in the dukes hands
while the pair were hunting. His
grace naturally took an interest IN
the widow. but when his attentions
became pronounced the duchess and
her family protested vigorously Find
ing that the duke would not listen to
her she and her children left Fren-
ham. the magnificent country seat OF
the family in Staffordshire, and left
his grace and Mrs. Blair together
In 1885 the duke was taken very III
and the buxom widow nursed him
asstduously. Only when physicians
limited that the duke was In mortal
danger would his wife come TO see
him. He recovered. and then his
wife and children made a desperate
effort to drive the intruder away.
They were unsuccessful and again

WOMEN OF PORTO RICO.
Ride TO Church on Mules and Smoke
Big Black Cigars.

Big Black Cigars.
Any man who may decide TO try
his fortune in the newly acquired
island of Porto Rico must make up
his mind to be startled and even
shocked by the manners and customs
of that West Indian possession A
correspondent now looking over the
ground there writes that hardly any
body ever thinks of walking. Men
and women alike ride mules, the
wealthier females using the English
side saddle, though some prefer the
safer though clumsy, Spanish saddle
Poorer women ride astride without
exciting any comment among the ma
tives, The correspondent continues:
| Il noticed one rider near Juana
! Diaz who took my mind back to the
old days of chivalry. She was a
| lovely girl Of about is or 16, with a
| face like a madonna and a figure like
an artists model One little foot
crept out beneath her silk riding
skirt, and to my surprise it was de-
! void of hosiery. The skin was like
\ polished velvet and was of pinkish
! gold Of an exquisite tint, 1t was shod
with a slipper of satin or silk en-
broidered In color, and had an arched
instep which made the foot all the
more charming by its setting The

and are not used for prayer The
praying rosary is as small and dainty
rs those used by fashionable women
in our own Roman Catholic churches.
Besides the fan and the rosary every
woman was provided with a neat and
often handsomely bound prayer book
and a huge lighted cigar or cigarette.
This Is indeed the land for women
who love the weed. A few smoke
cigarettes and pipes, but the ma
iority like partajas, perfeetos, Napo
Icons and other rolls of the weed larger
tnan those usually seen in our own
land, They smoke them at home and
in the streets, at the table or on the /

Chickamauga Park, Ga. June 13.--
An incident occurred yesterday at Lyt-

ably terminate in the existence of the
illicit whisky shcps and gambling dens
which uu to this time have ben per-
mitted to ply their busin -, by the
Georgia authorities without let cor
hindrance. A private of the Twenty

the whisky dive of one Joe Baker be-
came involved in difficulty with TIE
barkeeper. Blows followed. and Baker
drew a revolver. firing point blank at
the soldier, the bullet, it was claimed
by the soldier, striking him above the
eye. inilicting wound which may
cause the less of an eye.
The fight attracted the attention OF
the thr0ngs on the streets of the nuSh.
room town, and soon crowd of SOL
diers rushed in. Baker, fcaiing trouble.
had gotten cut Of the way. A large
body of soldiers formed with the pur-
pose Of handling him severely and
avcuGing the injury to their cOlnrade,
and for while it looked as if there
would be serious trouble An armed
guard, however, was quickly detailed
by order Of General Brooke, vino took
charge Of Baker and his nla"e, ard
order was soon restored. The soldier
was taken to the division hospital,
where the surgeon investigated his IN
juriFs He found a wound as indi-
Gated, but thought the Injury had been
caused by bit of broken glass and rot
by bullet, as splinter Of glass w.s
found sticking in the eyebali
After the shooting a number of SOL

Assistant Surgeon Gibbs was killed.
He was shot In the head in front of his
own tent the farthest point of attack.
He lived ten minutes, but did not re.
gain consciousness.
The surgeons of the hospital corps
then removed their quarters to the
trenches about the old Spanish stock
ade. north of the camp. The attacks
were continued at intervals through
out the rest Of the night, with firing
from small squads in various direc-
tions
Toward morning the fire slackened.
Dawn Is the favorite time for attack,
and as the east paled the marines
lying on their guns were aroused.
Some were actually asleep, as they had
had no rest for as hours and tired ma
ture could no longer stand the strain.
But not attack came.
Three new 12 pound field guns, which
could not be used during the night, for
fear Of hitting our own men, shelled
several squads of Spaniards after day
light. They dove into the bushes like
prairie dogs into burrows as the shells
broke over them in the gray dawn.
Lieutenant Colonel Huntington and
Major Cockrell gave high praise to tho
nerve and steadiness of officers and
men. especially the young ones, as tho
engagement was a baptism of fire for
large majority. The men were in
darkness and in strange land, but
they stood to their posts with courage
and fortitude, and there was no symp-
tom of panic.
The marines, though exhausted.
we're eager for more fighting, promis-
ing to inflict heavy punishment. They
complimented the daring Of the Span
iards with characteristic camp pro-
family.
The amplest precautions have been
taken, and as the dispatch boat was
leaving achievements were landing
from the Marblehead. A stormy time
was expected. ~
Estimates vary as to the attacking
force. Some say 200, and the figures
run as high as 1000. Colonel Cam
pima, the Cuban guide, said the Span
iards were mostly irregulars, but tho
reports of the discharge of Mauser
rifles would indicate that they were
ry Rcmingtons. The Spanish guerilas.
as rule, have more dash and courage
than the regulars.
