COUNTESS SAD ROMANCE.
CONFINED IN INSANE ASYLUM
SIXTEEN YEARS.
Loss of Mind For Many Years Which
Was Caused by Very In
happy and Loveless
Marriage.

The beautiful countess of Durham
has come to life again-come to life
again in the sense that she has been
restored to her family and friends af-
ter almost sixteen years of confine-
ment in an asylum for the insane
Her life furnishes one Of the saddest
stories ever known in high life in
England
Before her marriage she was one Of
the Misses Miner, and credited with
being one Of the most beautiful wom-
en- in England.
The earl of Durham was rich, but
profigate In 1888 Miss Miner was
the belle of Yorkshire. At that time,
although she did not love him, pres
sure from parents and friends was
brought to bear and she was induced
to marry the rich earl.
Within six months he became con-
vinced that his wife was insane Size
did not love him.
this by an original experiment. To test
her affection he kissed another lady in
her presence while in a brilliant party
travelling to Yorkshire.
BY singular coincidence the lady
selected for this experiment was also
very beautiful-the Countess de Gray
in fact-but the countess of Durham
remained listless. The others of the
party agreed with Durham that his
wife must be crazy, although one
might easily suppose that proud
woman would disdain to notice such
an insult.
Other proofs" followed
Lady Durham used to evade her at
tendants and wander all day long in
country lanes or London streets, re-
turning late at night, covered with
mud, a pathetic, wild-eyed vision of
beauty. SO calmly beautiful was her
Ophelia face that no one ever dared
modest her upon these strange excur-
sions, and some would mutter a pray
er for the unhappy lady as she passed
in her shining, bedraggled robes.
Next came the story Of a strange
scene in the duke of Abercorn's Hamp-
den house. A brilliant ball was In
progress; the great rooms were ablaze
with light, thronged with merry dane
ers. None was more beautiful than
Lady Durham, and none, surely, so
distraught. For awhile she wandered
about staring with vacant eyes at
the assembly. Then some thought.
perhaps the coming of her customary
retiring hour, prompted her to begin
undressing as calmly as if she were
in her own chamber Al least, that is
the story.
A group of ladies huddled about her
and persuaded her TO leave the ROOM
She never appeared in public again.
She was removed TO an asylum.
Public sympathy might have re-
NAMED with the earl, only for the
fact that he filed suit for divorce. His
petition was east aside.
And now comes forth from her long
retirement the beautiful countess, as
lovely as ever, her youth and beauty
marvelously preserved by retirement
and a placid life, perfectly sane. and
championed by her sister, Lady Gil
rard, and her brother, Henry Miner,
who married the late duchess of Mont
rose
Her friends are saying that she has
never been, properly speaking, insane,
but only driven into profound melan-
choly by her unhappy marriage, by
her husbands treatment, and by the
uncongen1al character and conduct of
his male and female friends.

Apropos of the kaiser's recent ride
around Constantinople on an Arab
steed, it is to be noted that few OF the
sovereigns of Europe are good horse
men. The German emperor has not
what can be called good seat, while
King Humbert is celebrated for his
falls. The Emperor Nicholas is not
precisely master of the art of equita-
ton, and the kings of Sweden, Greece
and Denmark detest riding. The king
of Portugal rests under the disadyan-
tage of "embonpoint." Prince Ferdi-
nand Of Bulgaria can not ride for an
hour at time, and King Alexander
Of Seryia is afraid of horses. The
British royal princes are, however, all
expert horsemen, but continental Eu-
rope can only boast of three sovereigns
who are really at home in the saddle

Belgians, and President Felix Faure

sort, that flows upon a garden, the
worst matter crossing the street This

bargained for. None of them had an
idea it was half so bad a place as it
proved to be. Since going over the
route the aldermen are of the opinion
it will cost nearer $4,000 than $4,000 to
build the road.

successfully. Two men, Friday after
noon, went to the residence of Stephen

Mrs. Folsom, who answered his ring at
the bell. Mrs. Folsom took the or
binary hand saw to the door, and one
of the men said that that would not
do, but asked for wood saw. They
said that their wagon had broken
down near there, and they would re-
turn the saw in few minutes.
AS the afternoon wore away and the
petty theft had been committed
dawncd on Mrs. Folsom's mind. Just
what their idea was is hard to find
out, but it is supposed they either
wanted to make a break. earn some
money by saving wood, or else they
pawned the saw and bought rum or
paid their car fare to some other place.
