lAoHuOn, sept. l2.-Ine MARQUIS Oh
Anglesey Henry Cyril PageD, who is
stopping at the Walsingham Hotel, was
robbed last night of jewels to the value
of $4,000. The marquis was at the the
alter when his room was robbed.
The Central News says that French
valet of the name of Julien Coult is sus-
pected of being the robber. He is miss
ing and warrant has been issued for
his arrest.
The same authority states that when
the marquis returned from the theater
he found jewels to the value of 100000
missing from their cases. A detective
was called in and he discovered about
100000 worth of the jewelry under bed.
The remainder of the valuables valued
at $4,000 are still missing. The valet
was seen to leave the hotel an hour be-
not been seen since.
The marquis of Anglesey, the head of
the famous Paget family of England, is
one of the wealthiest and admittedly
the most eccentric members of the Brit
ish aristocracy. He has an income of
Sl,O00,000 year, likes to dress like a
woman, carries pug dogs in his promep-
AIDES on the Paris boulevards, wears
rings on every finger and delights to APP
pear as skirt dancer and lightning
change artist on its music hall stage in
European capitals.
Two years ago the Marquis of Ang-
lesey, then Earl of UXbridge, married
the beautiful Miss Chetwynd, daughter
of Sir George Chetwynd and the Mar
chioness of Hastings. She was only II
years old. of beautiful and refined feat
ures, with violet eyes and masses of
Ventian red hair They We're cousins,
and it was declared at the time in order
that they might jointly inherit property
which both would have lost If they did
not marry each other
Eighteen months after their wedding
the Marchioness applied to the English
courts for a divorce. The terms of sep
aration prove the marquis eccentricty.
For the first year he allowed her $4,000
and $4,000 to pay debts contracted while
they We're living together The sec
ond year he was to pay her $4,000, the
next, if they We're still separated, $4,000
and SO on, the allowance increasing So
900 each year until it reached $4,000.
The young marchioness was friendly
with Princess Frederick Hohenlohe.
daughter of Count Hatfield, the Ger
man ambassador.
The princess was credited with sug-
costing the annulment of the marriage,
between her brother, Count Herman

man.
Afterwards Lady Angiesey and the
Princes Hohenlohe quarreled. The
marchioness and her former husband
met at Paris, became reconciled, Were
seen everywhere together, and even
Travelled together. So society was not
surprised last May when she appealed
to the English courts 20 have her decree
Of divorce annulied. Her request was
granted.
The Marquis of Anglesey last year
created sensation by accepting an en-
gagament on a music hall stage at Mu-
Mich. where he appeared in imperson-
atoms, making lightning changes in cos.
tunes characteristic of different ma
tons. His talent in this line is said t.
be remarkable.
