was like tinted marble, her features cameo-like in their clear cut beauty, and her voice-it was music itself
 After a few months of ardent court ship the American girl, who could just speak French a little, and as yet had not dreamed of marrying aught but a plain American, became the wife of the Hon. Henry Wodehouse. This was in 1872 The young couple travelled over the Continent and reached England the year following, when in few months the young husband died, leaving his bride in care of his brother, the Earl of Kimberley.
 After her period of mourning had ex- pired she was presented at the English court and launched into the midst of London society. It was at this time that she met the Marquis of Anglesey, then a man of 40, with one of the finest titles and fortunes in England.
 He fell in love with the American widow of p and paid her such marked attention that he was reprimanded by Earl Kimberley, her guardian. The Marquis of Anglesey was at that time a married man.
 His first wife Elizabeth, the daugh- ter of Joseph Norman Esq, he mar ried in 1S5S when he was a gay lieu tenant colonel of the Stafford Yeoman Cavalry. She died in 1873, and the fol-
 
 young girl, Blanche Mary Boyd, the daughter of a wealthy baron of Wig tonshire.
 The second wife of the Marquis poi soned herself one terrible night in their beautiful country home, and three years later, in 1880. the Marquis welded Mary King Wodehouse.
 In the meantime the Marquis had had other irons in the fire. Previous to his marriage with the Georgia beauty, and while his second wife was still alive, he had been carrying on an intrigue with Mrs. William Wetmore of New York She was a daughter of William C. Dougherty, who, previous to his death carried on commission business 1T Front street. She was the wife of Will. liam Wetmore, son of Apollos R. Wet more of New York.
 MT. and Mrs. Wetmore lived together for several years, but they were no congenial. She was a beautiful, viva cious creature, fond of gayety and ad miration. He was a rather staid man domestic in his tastes, and had littl, patience with his wife's longing for social career.
 Finally she went abroad, although a the time of her going there was no hin of permanent separation. But sh met the Marquis of Anglesey and sh never came back It was while his sec ond wife was still alive. He amused himself with the handsome American woman, and she, having stopped t, folly. fondly imagined that his protesta tions of love were sincere.
 It was the old story of the moth ant the flame. It was arranged that botl should secure divorces, and then sh would become the third Marchioness O Anglesey. Learning of this arrange ment, the wife of the Marquis accom- 5o% Ir;11 NTx more divorced his wife on the ground of desertion.

AN INTERNATIONAL TRAGEDY.
Death of the Marquis of ADglesey Brings to Light
 the Sad Story of Two Annercap Women.

So at least they were free to marry. But this did not suit the whim of the Marquis. His moth had singed her wings. Her feeble fiuttering aroused no pity in his heart Besides, another beautiful moth had spied the flame and was already lowering about it with dazzled eyes.
 So the Marquis married the young Georgia widow. It could not have been his manly heart that attracted women, for even then, in 1880, he is said to have looked the typical rake of cheap melo- drama. But then he had just come into his title, owing to the death of his half brother, succeeding to an estate esti- mated to be worth $50O0OO year. And, of course, an income like that can cover a multitude of sins
 Mrs. Wetmore was stunned. Less than a week before the Marquis was married to Mrs. Wodehouse he had an interview with Mrs. Wetmore in Paris, during which he appeared as affection ate as ever and reiterated his pledge to be true to her. The next day, however. she was handed note by the Marquis secretary, which had been written the day before the interview, and in which he bade her farewell forever, and gave her to understand that all was at an end between them.
 She went to the house of Lady Albert Pelham Clinton, the divorced wife of a younger brother of the Duke of New castle In speaking of the affair at the time this lady unbosomed herself un-

reservedly. "In his letter." said Lady Clinton, the Marquis gave her to un- derstand that she must leave her apart ments and write no more than one let ter to him. To this she wrote reply of most touching character, in which she appealed to the Marquis manhood. Remember she said, all I have lost for you. Can you expect that God will prosper you or yours when you are cap- able of such dreadful wrongY In an- other passage she says, Can it be pos sible that you have no conscience or feeling, or that you, a nobleman, are Wiling to turn me out pennileSS into the world after all your promises, to say nothing of your pretended affection up to the week before your marriage? l"
 It is said that after the Marquis mar riage to Mrs. Wodehouse Mrs Wet more's lawyer urged that a suit for breach of promise should be instituted A correspondence to that effect was commenced with the Marquis lawyers, who replied that thei, client repudiated the allegation as to the promise and that it would be useless to try to make case, as there was no law punishing breach of promise in France, and that an offense committed there could not be tried in England.
 So Mrs Wetmore committed suicide at the house of her friend, Lady Clinton, Tn ParlS. she swallowed pOlSon, and died in terrible agony. On her finger was a plain circlet of gold, and when this was removed this inscription was discovered inside, ITO Annie from An glesey, June l, 1SS0.'
 On June 26 of the same year the we'd ding bells that rang for the Georgia beauty sounded a death knell for the fair New York divorcee.
 Three days before her death she spoke fn I ody of har | I,a first time since she had been divorced "He was always kind to me-, she said but we had nothing in common. We were not created to live hannilY tngeth-

CHECKS DRAWN FOR FORTUNES

H HICKS for large amounts seem to be the order of the day, but even OSir Thomas Lipton's large check
 in payment of import duties cover ing certain period of time, the install ments on the purchase of the Anaconda mines, or on the Coast Railroad in America, which have all amazed the world in their turn, pale into insigni- fcance compared with those that have been drawn recently.
 The payments made by the French Government as war indemnity to Prus- sia have hitherto held the first rank, in the opinion of well-known financiers, as the largest ever known; but the check drawn for the largest amount on record represents the balance of the war indemnity, with the interest there on, paid by China to Japan, namely, Ell 008, ,S57 16S 9d. The Chinese Govern ment borrowed, through the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank, the sum of G18,- 100000 to pay this indemnity
 The money was transferred at the Bank of England from he account of the Chinese Ambassador to the credit of the Government of Japan; the check bears the indorsement of the Chinese Minister to England, Lofenluh, and that of the manager of the Bank of England, and 1t is also signed by the manager of the Bank of Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation. This rare piece of paper is at present in the possession of W. H. Harris of America.
 Another large check was presented at a well-known bank few years ago for e5,2S0, ,000-that was the sum paid by the De Beere Diamond Mining Com pany for the purchase of another very large diamond mine. The check In question was signed by two directors. After it had been paid photographs of the check were taken and sold for a small sum and were bought up rapidly.

 There was a wealth of pathoS in the death vail of the poor, singed moth.
 The Marquis and his bride spent a year in travelling. The dream of the Georgia girl was realized. She had a title. She had all the money she want ed. She had diamonds and silks and satins. She could live. a part of the time at Beaudesert the beautiful estate of the Marquis at Litchfield; at the other castle, Plas Newydd, near Bangor; at her town house in London, or in gay Paris, if she chose. What more could any woman want?
 And yet she was not happy. Less than two years after her wedding the Marquis announced one day that he was tired of her and that they must separate Then he advertised that he would no longer be responsible for her debts He was subsequently, obliged to make a settlement in her favor, propor- tionate to his income, and she has since resided in Paris.
 The old Marquis who died the other day was the fourth bearer of the title won at Waterloo by the daShlng Lord Uxbridge. All have borne regulations more or less unsavory. One of the first holders of the marquisate was twice di- rectly concerned in divorce proceedings before the House of Lords. He first ob- tained a divorce from his wife, and then himself had to appear as a correspond ent under such aggravated circum- stances that the injured husband of the lady in the case was awarded G20 900 ,5o, Ea of To iC I father of the man who died the other day, also figured in a similar domestic scandal.

n MARQUIS died the other day
 N "a. roue, an old, decrepit man,
 A tottering in his dotage at an age
 when the man who has health
 of body and mind considers that he is just passing out of his prime, as far as years go. His age was 63 but there are other considerations than years in computing the age of some men.
 A Marquis more or less is of little concern to your true, democratic Amer ican, and yet there are two tragedies linked with the unsavory career of Henry Paget Marquis of Anglesey, that come directly home to us. He had trif1ed with the. hearts of two of our fairest women. One he made his wife, only to desert her less than two years after their marriage. The other sleeps In the Strangers Cemetery at St. Ger main Lave, France, suicide. Neither loved wisely, both loved too well.
 The young American woman whose eyes are daZzled by the glamour of a title should read this story, the story of two great wrongs, and ponder deep ly. It may do her good; it cannot pos sibly do her harm. The truth may be told bluntly, but truth is truth, how ever blunt.
 It is the story of two women who loved with the intensity of despair and a man in whose soul there was no am- bition higher than that of passion. Three times had he married, three times had he given his solemn vows at the altar. What matter? Vows were nothing to him. Women's hearts were as nothing Virtue and truth and hon. fn fc ,ic who died the other day.
 There were many women whose names were linked with his. Some were ladies of noble birth and station; others were girls of humble origin; still others were creatures wko allowed the musica clink of oold to drown the voice ot : shame. But there were two whose names stand out in bold relief One was Miss Mary Livingston King O Georgia, a famous belle in her day. Th' other was Mrs. William Wetmore O New York.

ager sits in the wings every night to see that Freada does not cut out so much as fraction of minute.
 F'reada is Greek by birth, but spent her younger days in Constanti- nople, where she became famed as a dancer. She was imported for the Worlds Fair and is credited with hav- ing made more money than fell to the lot of most people at the fair. She then went on the road with a company, but people would not tolerate couchee- couchee dances outside of the Midway. She then gave her attention to her first efforts in the dancing line and re- hearsed her twirling Turkish dance.
 She was one of the first dancers to reach Dawson City, whither she went, attended by a maid-i in- waiting. Her power of endurance excited the miners beyond her most sanguine hopes. Night after night she did her twirl at the leading concert hall, and as she then did thirty minute act the miners would first express their approval by handclapping and stamping, increasing as the dance continued, until fifteen, twenty and twenty-five minutes had passed without signs of fatigue, and then they gave way to more substan- tial expressions of approval in the way of shower of nuggets such as seldom fell to the lot of Turkish dancers.
 F'reada comes out of Dawson with nuggets of all sizes. Her collections amount to thousands of dollars, and she will return to her native land, play ing across the country with the view of making her expenses to Turkey. She proposes to keep her Klondike nuggets intact for old age.

 The largest receipt on record was that given by the Treasurer of the United States. The statement of the condi- tion of the United States at the close of last year, which ends in June, showed that Uncle Sam,l if called upon for a payment of a few millions, would not need to borrow. The amount that figured on the receipt given by Mr. Ellis H. Roberts Treasurer of the United States, to his predecessor on 360. It is a receipt for the largest amount ever known, and MT. Roberts, who was recently in San Francisco, presented the Treasurer with a photographic copy of the same.
 
 An eminent man of science has recently declared that red-haired people are far less apt to go bald than those who are possessed of other colored hair. The av- craze crop on the head of a red-haired hair is far finer, and over three dark hairs take up the space of one red one. One hundred and five thousand is about the average. But fair-haired people are. still better off One hundred and forty thou sand to 160,000 is quite a common number of hairs on the scalp of a fair-haired man or woman. This authority does not com ment on the peculiarities of red-haired people, but it is well known that they are of 8 more passionate nature than others, and often of fine and sensitive disposi- tion, akin to what is known as the artistic temperament

Of black leg is feeding calves and young
cattle with food which has to much water
and not senough of the elements Of nu-
triton; also in calves and yearlings being
pushed on too fast for market. The blood
vessels get over loaded and as result the
watery proteius pass through the blood
vessels into the tissue. Usually the ves-
sells of hind legs become effected first, the
flaid soon undergoes decomposition,
causing swelling of the parts and high
fever. And as soon as modification sets
in, the parts become black and the animal
soon dies. To prevent this disease calves
and yearlings should be fed on nutritious
food, but not too much of it. In the spring
and fall when the grass is full of sap,
young cattle should not be allowed to
feed all day on it, but should be turned
on poor pasture or put into yard and Civ.
