owned an extensive breeding farm at
Gallatin, Tenn. He lived with her
only seven weeks. When they separ-
ated she told one story; he another.
Mrs. Gruenbaum said her husband
was too eXtravagant for her; he would
have run through her entire property
like an Empire State Express going
through forty-foot tunnel He said
some time afterward, this was
that he had been tricked into this mar
riage; that he was led to the alter I'M
der the influence of morphine and
whiskey.
Whatever the cause of the separa-
ton, the trouble remained in statu
quo until a few weeks ago, when the
Baron obtained a divorce from his
Tennessee wife in a Pettis County
(Mo.) court. He alleged that his wife
and her grown son had driven him
from the place and threatened to kill
him If he ever returned.
That is the end of the Barons
story. Now for the beginning.
He Is the son of a rich banker in
Vienna, and tall, finely-built fellow.
But he was wild-wild as a hare and
reckless as a wet hen. He got into
trouble-no end of it-and came to
America.
Baron Gruenbaum told the friends
that when he arrived in New York he
had $4,000 which his father had given
him to cover his first years expenses
in America. A cruel-hearted steerer
for Chicago Gas met up with him,
however, and seduced him into invest
ing his money in this stock. He
bought at So, somebody pulled out the
plug and his margin disappeared like
a birdshot in Niagara whirlpool.
This is the explanation he gave of
his presence on Ellis Island in high
hat and Prince Albert coat, acting as
interpreter at salary of 500
month.
While there he had two chances to
fight a duel, but accepted neither.
One was with bootblack who I'M
undertook to give him lesson in ETH
quette before some magnificent ladies;
the other was fellow employee, who
knocked him down with Mccoy cork
screw blow on the jaw in a discussion
over so cents. The Baron would not
fight with either of these offenders
because they were not of equal rank.
They were "canailles" and "cads," he
said.
Soon after, we hear of him dancing
at the Patriarchs ball with Mrs. AS
tor, having received funds from home
Next he was heard of in the matri-
monial field. There were several ru-
mors of expected alliances with we'll
known heiresses, but he wound up by
marrying the Gallatin widow

MARYLAND'S FINANCES.
The State Is Practically Free
From Debt-City and
Counties.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, March III
The statement of Mr.. w. III.
Armstrong, of HagerStown, pub.
liShed in the Sun of Monday.
caused some surprise here among
treasury officials. They regard
the assertion that Maryland has
a greater per capita public debt
than any State III the Union but
one as highly detrimental to the
State aud entirely incorrect. Ii
it were so in 1860, when the cen
suS was taken, it is not so now.
In point of fact, it was not so in
1890. Maryland is in as good a
financial condition perhaps as
any State in the Union. 1t is one
of the few States which imposes
no tax upon property for the sup
port of the State government.
The only State tax is 125 cents
for the public schools. which in
many other States is a local tax.
and d cents to create a sinking
fund TO pay the State debt at
maturity. The State is practi
cally out of debt. 1t could sell
its securities at any time and pay
its outstanding debt.
On January |, 1900, the debt
OF the State was as follows: Total
funded debt, $4,000, 326: sinking
fund, $1,000, GOO; leaving net
debt of $4,000, 600. As an offset
to this the State owns an annuity
OF $50. 600 on the Northern Cen
trail Railway, which is valued at
nearly 50, 600, 900. Ii also owns
a third interest in the Washing
ton Branch of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad, which is valued
at 81, 200, 900 and could probably
be sold at ihat sum In addition
to this there is the Chesapeake
and Ohio Canal for which the
State has been offered $500. 000.
but which ought to bring $1,000. .
600. All these items would wipe out
the State debt. Therefore. the
State debt Of Maryland per cap
ita is practically nil.
In Baltimore City the gross
debt is about $4,000, 600, but
nearly all Of this was incurred
for the water works and parks.
The interest on che former is paid
10y the receipts from the water
rents and OH the latter by the
park tax Oh the street railways,
So neither is a charge upon prop.
erty. The city has $500, 600 in
the sinking fund and owns the
Western Maryland Railroad,
which has been valued at over
10000; 600, which, with other
assets, reduces the real net debt
of the city to something like $40, :
! 000, 900 or $4,000, 900.
The ComptrOller'S office here
has no data of county and town
Indebtedness, but they cannot
exceed $4,000, 600, so a careful
computation puts the State,
county and municipal indebted
ness of Maryland at something
like So or $50 per capita at the
outside.

A Good Sentiment,

1t may be in the providence of God
that the time has come when this ma
ton, conceived in liberty, shall be
turned over to the doctrines of the
past. 1t may be-no man can tell what
the future has in store. But if it is
true that the time has come when
these fundamental principles are to be
changed; if it is true that upon the
ruins of a homogeneous republic is to
be built heterogeneous empire, l

The Bank Scheme.

The people of South Dakota are up
against the scheme as well as the null
titude elsewhere. The Sioux Falls
Press says about the new banking adj
venture of Mr.. Mckinley:
''The imperial bank scheme is a part
of the so-called currency bill or bill to
establish the gold standard, which is
in fact a bill to turn over the treas
ury department to the banks or to one
bank and to facilitate the monopoliz-
ing of the banking and currency bust
ness of the country"

Republican ReckIessness.

The most notable thing about the
present attitude of the Hanna-Mc
ley machine is its apparent reckless
ness in arranging for legislation that
will result in the eXtravagant expendi-
ture of public money. They seem to
take it for granted that the people are
too dazed to see through their schemes
one of the most costly of which is the
ship subsidy job, which is to be start
ed with an appropriation of 100000
600, to be disbursed in ten years.-Ith-

Personal Question,

The Republican press is prating
about good times. But you men who
toll for your daily bread, how much
have you benefited by this alleged
prosperity? Are you able to lay aside
anything to provide for old age? IL
your wages are ten per cent higher is
not the cost Of living more than ten
per cent. above what it was in the
genuine hard times Of few years
ago?

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the civil
lied world. Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought of using any
thing else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they
seldom heard of Appendicitis, Nervous
Prostration or Heart failure, etc. They
used August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation OF undl-
gested food, regulate the action OF the
liver, stimulate the nervous and organic
action of the system, and that Is all
they took when feeling dull and bad
