WEALTH AND BEAUTY
 WILL SOON JOIN HANDS
London is Getting Ready to Greet the New Duke of WeStmin-
 Ster and His Bride.

Pless, elder sister of Miss. West, is no less famed for her loveliness of form, manner and face.
 Miss West is very accomplished She sings, plays, paints, writes and does all of those things which smock of wealthy and refined environments and gain for woman the envy of all that is ideal She Is also athletic, for her name as a whip, an amatuer golfer and a swimmer Is almost as far-famed is the renown of her beauty and grace.
 Like the majority of the women of her set Miss West has fad. Her hobby Is to don an old gown and go among the poor of London, giving them assistance incog- nito. She does a great deal of this sort of work and gives largely to charitable enterprises; but as her donations are con- tributed anonymously no one Is the wiser except the most intimate of her friends.
 As the Duchess of Westminster Miss West will enjoy an immense income. With his new title his Grace the young Duke came into possession of miles of land in every section of London and large num- Der of houses situated respectively in Grosyenor Place, Belgrave Square an1 Ebury Street, all of which are situated in the heart of London's fashionable quarter. And besides there are extensive proper ties in Cheshire Bershire and Flint, Scot land. The beautiful estate of Clveden-on- the Thames was also the property of the

It is the many-times related story of union being consummated between beauty and wealth, yet it is one of the prettiest love tales of the century, the romance of the rich young duke of Westminster and bewitiching Miss West. Certainly it Is the most interesting story that has been afioat in ''dear old Lunnun' for many a year.
 The young couple have been enamoured of each other for some time, but their marriage was .strenuously opposed by the late duke of Westminster on account of the grandsons youth. Fearing elopement, 1t is said, the then Duke of Belgrave was shipped off to the Transvaal at ..Ie begin ming of hostilities between England and the South African Republic to forget his attachment amidst the fire of shells and thunder of cannon. But this remedy proved ineffica cious and absence only deepened the ardor of the young Dukes affection.
 He had not been long In the Transvaal before news came of the death of the old Duke, his grandfather, by whose demise he succeeds to the titles of Earl Grosvenor, Viscount Belgrave, and Baron Grosvenor of Eaton, and a fortune that is beyond computa tion.
 It was only on account of his extreme youth that the late duke of Westminster opposed his grandson's marriage. The young man had not seen enough of the world, and though he was on officer in the

Another 'nish Excuse

From the Philadelphia Post
 A belated war story comes from Ponce, Porto Rico, and is told by Lieutenant Juan Arato of the Spanish engineers.
 When the war broke out" said the lieu tenant, i've found that our supply of am- munition of all sorts was very low. Some was new and some old; some was black and some brown; some was old-fashioned and some was smokeless and mysterious There was one lot of brown smokeiess powder which was marked Use with care! Very powerful! Keep cool and dry.' and to it was attached legend that it had burst Krupp field gun.
 "I determined to try it. I employed a small charge in a gun, and to my surprise it refused to go off. My gunners were very much disgusted, and one of them said: Bah. this is no good for war. I'll use 1t for cooking our supper
 'We all jumped as he threw double handful into a small camp fire. suAa of our feelings when we saw the fire go out. I afterward learned that powder of this sort deteriorates with age. and that long before this case was opened it was as harmless as wet sand"

fbreach of contract and prevented from leaving"
 It is explained that the passage of the ne- groes was paid, but the railroad officials were ordered into demanding another fare covering the distance from Athens to At lanta. in the hope of preventing thelr de- par.ure. The proprietor of the largest farm in Georgia" had sixteen would-be emigrants arrested, charged with breach of contract. Other planters made prison- CTS of other negroes. 'We presume, adds the Ccmmercial-Appeal, that these ne- groes will be tried, convicted and sentenced to remain in Georgia and make another crop for their masters. This is the very worst form of slavery. a slavery compared to which the antebeilum slavery is the wld- est liberty. It is disgrace to civilization, and if the courts of Georgia do not put a stop to 1t they will disgrace American jur- isprudence."
 This is plain talk. but justified by the re- ports which have come from Georgia and which have not been contradicted. so lar. The white mans side of the case Is not full 1y presented. He claims to have made con- tracts with the negroes for 19o0, to have supplied them with food through the win ter, and that they owe him the price O. the advances. There is something in this, to be sure, but dishonorable refusal to stand to a contact or a failure to pay debt Is not deemed sufficient ground for warrants of arrest. jail walls, rock piles and slavery in this country. A bankrupt negro has the same right to go west that the bankrupt white man enjoys. It is pos s,ble that he has even better right to do so if his lot happens to have been cast in certain portions of Georgia. It is quite pos sible that in losing their debts and their hands some of these farmers are paying penalties which fall to them because or their refusal to stand up and speak out at the proper ti1.e against the lynchers.
 Admitting that this Is not true, that the negroes are attempting to beat out ot thefr just claims men Who have befrended and fed them. that they deserve to be arrested, even that some remarkable statute found in the code of Georgia provides that they may be held for debt and fined for breach of contract stnl the very worst thing the Georgia farmer could have done he has done Even a sensational lvnching in the neighborhood will do less to make negroes quit the locality than a runor that their freedom is about to be taken from them Deprive one of his liberty, as the Georgians have done in this instance, and you move every negro in the settlement to prove him. self free: This will he done, of course by going. The News wiM not be at all aston ished to find that this open effort to re- strain colored movers leads to general de- termination on the part of the negroes to quit the state. The lynchings have done something to that end. Recent mistakes are quite sure to do more.

these stories are true-she may be The victim of malice, and at all events she is conducting herself discreetly now and the association with good women might en- courage her to continue"
 But the husband shakes his head:
 You would be more likely to pull your self down than to pull her up in public opinion," he says. Better go slowly in that direction"
 man often seems to befriend a woman who has been gossiped about by Appearing with her in public; but at the same time he would not allow his sister or mother to be seen with her.
 It Is a love of notoriety, not a spirit of chivalry which actuates him.
 Sometimes, however, he marries her, and then he is indignant If other mems mothers and sisters do not call upon her. The fact that he considers her good enough to be his wife he feels should render her good enough for all the world. If he is strong in his social position he usually succeeds in making the public accept his belief
 Women do not sit in moated granges or ivied towers and grow melancholy mad over old sorrows and sins as they did in earlier times. They leave the scene of their troubles soon as possible and go out in the world and busy themselves in some of the numerous avenues open to them. They let the grass grow over the graves of past folnes, and claim the privilege men have always enjoyed of beginning new lives. Of course, no woman ever fergets a grave of this kind men forget them. As nature placed greater physical obstacles and penal ties in the way for her, if she transgressed, so it gave her mind more pursuant mem- cry and her soul a more relentless remorse.
 From these she cannot escape, however, she may be released from the persecution of the world
 Woman's greatest punishment for folly comes not from the speech of society, but from the voice of her own higher self.
 When time custom silences this voice from within. she will cease to be a woman.
 But so far as the world goes there is al- most as fair an opportunity given woman as man today to live down early errors.
