princes. But it was artificial to her;
she yearned for the boy she had
brought into the world, and she began
to miss the love of the man who had
arst asked her to be his wife. After
many years she returned to this coun-
try and began painting in studio in
New York.
She found her son an upper -classman
ut Yale. He came to see her, and for
the first time he learned the depths
of a mothers love. He became bond
between his mother and father, and
gradually, but with never-failing trend,
these two, so long separated, were
drawn together.
James Blackstone had also married
again, but his second wife died, and
he was free to marry the woman whom
he had first chosen. Accordingly, in
1897, they we're married again in
Philadelphia, with their son and few
close friends present. The old home in
Norwich was happy again.
But again fate stepped in and robbed
her Of the happiness which had been
lacking for SO many years. After less
than a year of the most felicitous life
James Blackstone died, leaving his
property to his son and grandson,
thinking that between them his widow
would be provided for. His estate,
which at one time had been of great
value, had dwindled to barely enough
to support one person.
Then this woman, who had already
suffered her just proportion of sorrows,
was spurned by her son.
Into the courts of law she was
obliged to go to demand enough of
. competence from her son to allow
her to live in comfort. twenty-five
dollars week was all she asked, but
the humiliation of being forced to de-
mand that from her own son, the boy
who had brought his mother and IA
ther together, contains an element OF
pathos which cannot but be felt.

An American woman, Countess
Adolf Won Bruening, is we'll known in
the. social circles in which European
nobility moves, because of her mar
riage to her husband, the count, but
to the American people her name is
familiar chiefly because of the touch
ing devotion of her divorced husband,
Gordon MacKay of Boston and Wash
ington. The countess life has beel
most romantic. She was the daughter
of Mr.. MacKay's housekeeper and had
grown from childhood to mature
beauty under his eyes. Although twice
her age, Mr.. MacKay paid her devoted
attention and she finally became his
bride. Everything that wealth could
provide was lavished upon the young
wife and for time theirs was happy
home. But a season of court life evil

ed the fascinating daughter of his for
mer housekeeper sumptuously enter
tanned Washington society. Finally
Mrs. MacKay began suit for divorce
and, in 1890, was granted decree with
$25,00O yearly as alimony, the posses
sion of two beautiful homes and also
the custody of their two sons. Mr..
MacKay made no defense and by many
was considered too magnanimous be-
cause Of his quiet acceptance Of the
decree.
Six years later Count Won Bruening,
then secretary of the German en-
bassy at Washington, came into Mrs.
MacKay's life. After two years they
became engaged. The marriage took
place in Washington the latter part of
last April, the count and countess sail

former was stationed as member of

sarah A. Whitaker, when little
more than half way through her teens,
was stage favorite in New York,
with hosts of admirers. Among them
was James de Trafford Blackstone, a
director in several prominent compan-
les, the owner of fast horses and a
yacht. He proved his love for her,
married her and took her to live in his
beautiful house in Norwich, Conn.
For time all went well. He had
an honored name and money; she had
wit, beauty and cleverness, and the
little son that was born to them held
them together for awhile. But it did
not last, and in 1877 Mrs. Blackstone
left him and returned to her relatives
in New York, leaving the son to his
c-re. In the next year her suit for
divorce was granted.
The next scene in this dramatic life
was played when she abducted her
boy. She went to the house in Nor
wich when her divorced husband was
away, asked to see her son, and took
him to New York with her. She kept
him for short time only, however,
for the courts ruled that the father
should have the care of him.
In little more than a year from this
time Mrs. Blackstone married Samuel

OREGON.
Temporary Repairs VIII BE Suficien'
to Make the Vessel ServiceabIe.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE japanese
government has not informed this govern
ment that her dock at Kure could not be
used by the Oregon long enough TO make
permanent repairs, as published to-day; but
this government, knowing the great value
of the dock at Kure, felt that il would be
an imposition to monopolize so valuable an
time, and therefore has decided that the
Oregon shall be only temporarily repaired
at present. The word temporary conveys
perhaps a false impression, inasmuch as
the repairs which she will undergo will be
complete as far as they go. The repairs to
the injuries to her hull will be complete
when she leaves the Kure dock, but the
work of repairing the interior fittings to
her injured compartments will be post
poned until some convenient time in the
future. 1t is said at the Navy Department
that when she leaves the kure dock the
Oregon can resume active service and re-
main in commission as long as may be
deemed necessary.

American Red Cross Association Pre-
pairing to Work in China.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE board of
control of the National Red Cross Associa-
ton held a meeting to-day at which Miss
Clara Barton, president of the association.
presided, a full quorum being present.
The work which the association would
probably be called upon to do in case of
declared war between China and the ma
lions was discussed. In the event condi-
lions become such as to justify the Red
Cross in taking up its legitimate work in
China it is very likely it will do so in CO.
operation with the Red Cross of Japan.
The only nations which have not acceded
to the Geneva treaty of the Red Cross are
China and Mexico, so that, should the Red
Cross undertake its work in a war between
the nations and China, ii would have to
do so, so far as China Is concerned, by a
special understanding with that. country.
Japan, however, being a neighbor of China,
and the Red Cross of that nation being one
of the richest and strongest, it is thought
the American Red Cross could do better
work in cooperation with the Red Cross
of Japan than by acting independently.
OF course, ii is not known as yet Just what
the Red Cross of Japan would do in answer
to such a proposition, but il is highly prob
able that efficient cooperation between the
two national associations could be effected
By unanimous action of the board this
matter was placed in the hands of the pres
iuent of the association to take such steps
as, in her judgment, circumstances might
warrant.

Admiral Remey Does Not Want Con.
%structor Hobson in Chiua.

NEW YORK, Aug. u.-Constructor Hob
son has asked for the command of a ma
rine detachment in China, and is ready, he
says, TO assume the duty at once, accord
ing to a dispatch to the Herald from Wash
ington. Rear Admiral Remey has cabled
that he is opposed to the detailing of Hob
son for any such duty. He adds that If
the constructor is able to undertake active
work in the field he is in a position to re-
turn to Manila or Hong-Kong. where the
services of a constructor are required in
making repair work. Hobson is still at
the naval hospital in Yokohama under
treatment for his eyes, and will probably
return to this country.
