MANY LOVELY WOMEN
Have Married Men Who Were Very
UuiY.

Il don't see how such lovely woman
could have married such an ugly man, p"
is an observation often heard. 1t is GER
tain that many famous and wealthy
beauties have loved and married men of
even repulsive personal appearance.
John Wilkes. the famous London Alder
man and champion of British electors,
was so abnormally ugly that children ran
affrighted from him in the streets, and
yet his powers of fascination were so
great that ladies of beauty and fashion
We'd with each other for his notice, and
men of handsome exterior and all courtly
graoes looked enviously on.
There were, il is said. few beauties of
the day whose hand Wilkes might not
have confidently hoped TO win; and when
he lead Mary Mea~ to the altar he made
a wife of one of the richest and most
lovely women Of her time. e Beauty
and the Beast they call us" Wilkes once
said TO mis- friend Potter. and 1 cannot
honestly find fault with the description.
Jean Paul Marat. whose name will al
ways be associated with the evil history
OF the French Revolution. was notorious
" the ugliest man of his day in Paris.
When this reputation reached his ears.
Marat is said to have remarked, But
Why limit my supremacy to Paris?" and,
indeed. the restriction was much too
modest.
And yet in his early years. when he
was the most popular of court doctors.
his very ugliness seemed to exercise such
a fascination over aristocratic ladies that
they crowded his consulting rooms in
order TO catch glimpse of him and ex-
change words with him under the finn
siest pretext of imaginary ailments.
Although there were few palmer men
of his generation than the great Lord
Brougham and as few who took so
little trouble to ingratiate themselves
into the favor OF women, the brilliant
lawyer and statesman az one time might
have picked and chosen among the
fairest Of society beauties
No man who cared so little for female
society had surely ever so much Of it
thrust upon him-to such an extent, in
Ceed. that when any one asked where
Lord Broughham was. usual answer was
Where the ladies are thiokest." and by
following this Significant guide he was
generally run TO esrtn.
Among so many fair wooers It is little
to be wondered at that Brougham sue

The Reign of Terror. is said to have had
a face almost exactly like that Of
horse. His appearance was. IN fact. so
abnormal. so monstrous. that children
shrieked and women tainted at the very
sight o. him. and yet his wife was one
OF the most lovely women in the whole
OF Frauce-so lovely that as a girl she
was known as the beautiful angel.
That there was a powerful fascination
for some women in extreme ugliaess Is
proved by innumerable cases in which wo-
men who have ben richly lowered with
physical charms have fallen madly in
love with men Of almost repulsive ap-
peaTance.

MUST Ply BACK FARES.
Ordinance Regulating Street Railways
in Case of Delay.

Chicago, June 24.-The city council
last night passed an ordinance providing
that in cases of street railway break
downs causing a delay of ten minutes
or more the companies must issue to
the passengers coupons good for trip
at any time in any direction or re-
turn the fares. The ordinance holds
good in any accident which may be at
tributed to the companies or which may
be their bad fortune to meet. If the
stop is due to no fault of the companies
but is caused by something over which
they have no control they will not be
held for the return of the fares or for
the issuance Of the coupon.
Mayor Harrison probably will sign
the ordinance and it viii then become
effective.
