a wOMAN's PITIFUL APPEAL.
An Actress Who Begged Her Titled
Husband for Forgiveness.

Copyright, 1889. by the Associated Press.l
LONDON, Feb. pa sad story came out
in the divorce court this week when the
Hon. Darcy Lambton, seventh brother of
the Earl of Durham, obtained d divorce
from his wife, formerly an Australian
actress. There were three correspondents.
Lambton's counsel said the actress had told
his client before their marriage that she
had $500 a year and was expecting a for
tune when she came of age. They were
married in 1883 and returned to England
from Australia in 1890. Later Mrs. Lambton
attempted to commit suicide in a hotel at
Paris. Finally, counsel added, the Earl of
Durham heard unpleasant rumors and told
his brother. The latter taxed his wife with
the statements made and she ran away
from her home. Afterwards she wrote her
husband a pitlful epistle, which was read
IN court. pleading for forgiveness for the
sake of their child, a daughter born i'll 1891,
and the miserable life she led. Mrs. Lamb
ton said: When you have heard the truth
you viii not wonder why l have so often
tired TO end my life. l began with a lie,
but L have suffered for it. We are nearly
starving. My confession of guilt is the
greatest punishment of my life. Like a
coward. 1 was vile enough to tell lies about
my own mother and sister and money they
never had. | am guilty of nearly all the
drink and extravaganza / have sunk very
low. If / could only have the chance of
being good again L would jump at it. Have
mercy on me-"
The scandal recalls the painful circum-
stances of Darcy Lamhton's brothers
marriage. The Earl of Durham welded a
strikingly beautiful girl. The bride appeared
strange at the wedding, and when the
couple went to the earl's country seat she
behaved in a most peculiar manner. Event
ualy the truth dawned on the earl. His
wife was mad. Treatment was tried, but
not successfully. The earl applied to the
courts to nullify the marriage, but his APP
DlcaC1On was refused. The countess is now
an inmate of an asylum for the insane in
Sussex. She is a hopeless idiot, but the doc
tors declare she will live to an old age.

LONDON, Feb. Gl.-It is expected that the
new United States ambassador to the court
of st. James, Mr.. Joseph II. Choate (who
left New York on board the American line
steamer st. Paul for Southampton Wednes-
day last), will be presented to Queen Vic
toria by the British prime minister, Lord
Salisbury. on March Z at Windsor Castle,
where her Majesty will hold a privy council
prior to her departure for the South of
France Vanity Fair, however, says it is
still possible that the Queen will not go to
Cimiez, although every preparation has been
made for her departure. It seems that it
depends largely on the course of events in
France during the next few days, and it is
certain that many Englishmen do not wish
her Majesty to so to France just now. The
Queen at present is enjoying wonderful
health, save for an occasional touch of
rheumatism. She is exempt from the nerv-
Gus headaches to which she was formerly
a victim, her hearing remains very acute,
and even her sight IS stronger than that of
most persons of her age.
The Prince Of Wales's hospital fund,
which started off with such a flourish of
trumpets, Is now known to nave proved
more or less of a failure. Matinees, con-
eerts, balls and every such expedient have
been tried, eliminating in the ingenious
hospital stamp idea, which is also admitted
to be a failure. Now a new and eXtraordi-
nary scheme is projected-the creation of a
new order to be entitled the League of
Mercy, III which those who collect and pro-
mote the collection OF subscriptions for the
hospital fund are enrolled as members. The
new order will be based on the Royal Vic
torian order, and will consist of five classes,
the highest being Knights of the Grand
Cross. There viii be a distinctive badge,
ribbon and festival. The motto of the order
will be Christie ct Regina" The Prince Of
Wales will be grand master.

LADY CURZoN PRAISED.

LONDON, Feb. 25.-The decoration OF
Lady Curzon, wife of the viceroy Of India,
with the imperial order of the Crown of
India is a high distinction, as the order is
practically reserved for royalty and the
wives Of secretary of state for India and ma
tive princess. The Indian mails just received
show Lady Curzon has made a conquest OF
Anglo-Indian society, while the native pa
pers pay her glowing tributes. The Bang
abasi, a leading vernacular paper of Bengal,
in a truly Oriental eulogy, declares 'all the
goddesses of the Hindoo Pantheon must hide
their heads In the presence Of Lady Cur
zon.' who is like a diamond set in gold or
E full moon in a clear a%uturnnal sky. The
paper adds: Her color is like molten gold,
it's whiteness already having assumed a
tinge of red in the warm climate Of this
country. Her teeth are ike a set of pearls,
her waist IS beautifully slender and her raw
en- tresses, setting of her white complexion,
make her look like, we imagine. the goddess
Of Saraswatt. Her well-shaped head is beau
tifully poised on a swanlike neck, her eyes,
handsomely purple, are ever restless and
beaming intelligence. Her forehead is small

Miners, Scale Reiected.

FORT SMITH, Ark, Feb. 25.-Every coal
mine in Arkansas and the Indian Territory
will be closed down next Wednesday if the
present programme of the miners and oper-
ators is adhered to, and there is no reason
to believe that any deviation from this pro-
involved and mines supplying a large sec
ton of the Southwest with fuel will be
affected. A coal famine is sure to ensue, as
the supply on hand is small and will be
speedily exhausted. Already railroads are
coniscating every car of coal that comes
on their tracks and are keeping it for their
own use. Private dealers have been notified
that they can get no more coal until the
trouble is settled. The situation is the most
alarming that has existed in this coal region
in years. The operators refuse positively to
consider the miners scale, and the men to-
day declared that If their demands are not
acceded to by next Wednesday a general
strike will be declared.

The late Professor Hyrtl Of Vienna
was present one day during the examina-
ton of an aspirant for the medical degree
by Professor LANCER. Finally the latter
handed the student a small bone, saying:
Mr.. Candidate, here is a bone. Don't
look at it, but tell me from feeling it what
kind of a BON it is, whether it belonged
to the left or right side of the body and
whether it was part of a man or woman"
The poor student blushel from embar-
rassment. There was a large audience
present, and he saw failure staring him
in the face. He cast n helpless glance at
Hyrtl, who moved about in his chair rest
lessly for a moment and then sprang to
his feet. And tell me, Mr.. Candidate"
he cried out, the spirit Of anger lighting
up his large blue eyes, after answering
the questions of my dear colleague, the
name of the original possessor of this
bone and where and in what street he
lived"
This unexpected outburst saved the day
for the poor candidate, but Professor

examination when Hyrtl was present
