| AN IRISH BEAUTY
WHO REIONS SUPREME in
BRITISH SOCIETY.
Il Il Said Than the Lovely Marchionesa
of Dewnshires and the Equally Hand
some Julia Mariows Are Exact Counter
parts.

When Julia Mariowe was in London
4 few seasons ago and attending gar
DEN party she had the unique expert
ence Of meeting woman who, feature
for feature, was so exactly the coun-
terpart of her own fair self that she
confessed that she might have greeted
the lovely marchioness OF Downshires
g her own twin sister. 1t Is true that
both the charming actress and the
equally lovely marchioness are irish
women, but there the relationship
ends, while the resemblance can read
lily be traced in their photographs
q resemblance made all the stronger
by the fact that In height, weight and
coloring there is scarcely any diner
ence between them.
Just as Miss Marlowe Is considered
one of the most delightful women on
the stage today, her double, the mar
chioness, is regarded as leading peiie
and beauty in smart British society.
and what Is even more to her creolt,
sne is a peculiarly sweet and accom-
plished woman. Before her marriage
she was Miss Hare, granddaughter OF
the earl OF Listowel, and by her mar
rage to the eighth earl Of Downshires
the Irish beauty, whose pulchritude
In a single season had won her wide
spread fame, because Of the richest OF
Irish peeresses. second only to her sis
ter, marchionsss of Londonderry. Like
q genuine daughter of Erin, this
wealthy and titled woman prefers her
Irish homes to those her husband
owns in England, and. true to the
traditions of her family, she is a won
derful horsewoman. Her little 5-year-
old-son, the little viscount Hillsbor-
ough, has been taught to master his
pony under her own eye. hand and
direction.
Coming herself Of Irish people. one
OF the marchioness' proudest boasts is
that her husbands family settled in
ireland as long ago as 1873 and that
her boys will grow up to be genuine
freshmen. Now aand then she leaves
her favorite home In County Down for
q glimpse of the London season, and
she Ia not alone conspicuous in the
Mayfair drawing rooms for her beauty,
but also for the fact that she rarely
or never wears any jewels. With a

THE DAYS OPERATIONS IN STOCKS.

Aside from Amalgamated Copper, the dealings
In no stock yesterday reached large proportions
and changes in prices rule were unimpor-
tant. In fact one-half of the total dealings on
the Stock Exchange were in Amalgamated Cop
per. which was bought in the belief that un-
derstanding had been reached by the copper pro-
ducing interests whereby the price of the metal
itself was TO be held up. The plan adopted for
the maintenance OF the price of copper was said
to be a curtaiment Of production which, ap-
parently, is the only practicable way of accom-
plishing the end sought. Much OF the buying of
the Amalgamated stock possibly the better part
OF it, was for the purpose of covering short con-
tracts otherwise II is assumed that the advance
in the stock would have been larger. There ap-
peared to be no attempt TO squeeze the shorts in
the stock. but this would have been a more or
less difficult operation for the reason that the
capital stock of the company is of liberal size,
and therefore not easily concentrated.
There was a fair business in Union Pacific,
which moved within narrow limits and which
for the day showed fractional gain. The trans
actions in Northern Pacific were not large The
price huctuated with some violence, but closed
slightly below the final figure of Friday. 1t

demands from the West and South for funds TO
be used in moving the crops. The increase of
2.425.200 in deposits resulted wholly from the
increase in loans The decrease of $2,017, 400 in
