THE LATE LORD ANGLESEY.

InaSmuch as the marquis Of AnSi2So: brought misery to two American wo-
 men, enc of them, indesd, committing
 suicide and as a numcer Of the mem
 bes of the family Of which he was th7
 chief are either married to daughters of Uncle Sam or are resident in the United States, his sudden death merits
 some further mention than the brief announcement contained in a cable dispatch of twenty words.
 The two American women for whcse
 unhappiness the late Lord Anglesey,
 head of the great English house Of Paget, was responsible were a Mrs Whetmore, Of New York, and a Miss Minnie King of Sandhills. Ga The former poisoned herself in the spring of 1880. while the latter now bears the title Of dowager maTchionsss Cf An giesey.
 The late marquis was thrice married,
 the first time to a Miss Bessie Norman,
 the second time to a Miss Blanche Boyd, the mothsr of his only son and
 successor in the family honors, while
 his third wife is the now dowager
 marchioness. The second Lady An
 glesey, by the way, was a first cousin
 of Mrs. Bravo, the heroine of the fla
 mcus Bravo murder trial
 It was during his second marriage that Lord Anglesey became acquainted
 with Mrs William Whetmore Of New
 York He had separated from his sec ond wife and promised to marry Mrs. Whetmcre as soon as he could obtain his freedom, inducing her on her side to secure a divorce from her husband, who was, I believe, employed in the
 New York custom houss.
 Mrs. Whetmore obtained separation
 shortly after the second Lady Anglesay died, whereupon she called upcn the marquis to fulfill his engagement by
 marriage. She was a woman Of great beauty. But it would seem as if the
 marquis bad already tired of her, for
 after leading her to belieNa that he was perfectly prepared and delighted to conduct her to the altar, inducing her even to obtain all the troussaau that she needed, he suddenly, without the slightest warning. married another American lady, namely, Miss Minnie King, who was at the time the widow of the younger brother Of the earl of 1 Kimberley. Mrs. Whetmore thareupcn
 commenced suit for breach of premise, but lost her case, for the marquis did i net even take the trouble to repudiate
 the allegation with regard to tha prem ! ise, but cCntented himself with point ing out that as the offense, if offense there had been, had been committed in
 France he could not be tried in Eng land and that there is no law punish ing breach of promise in France.
 Mrs. Whetmore cn learning this, as
 wsll as receiving an intimation from
 the lawyers of the peer that he declined
 to make any provision for her future, committed suicide by means of poiscn
 at the Partisan residence Of Lady AL
 bert Pelham Clinton. herssif the di- vorced wife Of q younger brother Of tho
 late duke of Newcastle.
 i The marquis lived with his third wife only for a year or eighteen months, 1 thereupcn separating from her and an- nouncing at the same time, through the press that he would not be respon-
 sibla for her debts. He was. however forced to make her an allowance pro portionate to his income Of s600,0 per annum.
 i The English royal family, as well as ! English society in general, in spite Of 1 the ties Of caste, may be said to have taken the side of the American march ! icness, rather than that of the British
 marquis in the quarrel. The duke and ! duchess of Connaught, fer instance,
 made a point of dining with the blus
 eyed and blonde haired marchioness
 every time they passed through Paris this being the only instance that I can recall of English royalty thus honor
 ing a peeress separated from her hus- band. I have never heard, however,
 of any Of Queen Victoria's progeny
 paying any compliment Of this kind to the marquis.
 The present marquis of Anglesey is about 23 years of age, and married in
 the spring Of the present year, his first cousin, the exceedingly pretty daugh-
 ter Of Sir George Chetwynd ex-membar
 of the jockey club, and O. his wifi, the
 widow cf the last marquis of Hastings, whose name is sc famous in sporting annals
 There have been rumors Of disagree
 ments between the young couple, which it is to be hopsd, are without fcunda- ! tion. Yet if heredity goes fer any thing, the chances are in favor of the
 marriage culminating in unhappiness. i For the matrimonial misadventure Of the late marquis may be said to have had their counterpart in the career of
 his father and grandfather. the first
 and second marquises, both Of whom i figured extensively Tn the divorce
 courts as correspondents. Indeed, the 1 first marquis was mulcted by jury in damages to the extent of S100 000,
 which he was obliged tc pay to the hus- band whose honor he had betrayed Of the members of the house of Paget. who may be said to possess as sCciations in this country. arc Colonel Arthur Paget. who is married to the I daughter of the late Mrs. Paran-Ste- phens Of New York; Almeric Paget, who is married to the daughter of eX- Naval Secretary Whitney; Sydney Pa
