Grief Spends It's Force.
War Secretary st. John Broderick, ac-
cording to a rumor which is not yet con-
hrmed, is betrothed to Madeline Stanley,
daughter Of Lady Jeune by her first hus-
band. This is the young woman to whom it
was reported three years ago that Sir
Thomas Upton was paying his addresses. She
is very pretty and moves in London's
"smartest" set. Mr.. Brodericks wife died
Just year ago. His afiiction was so acute
then that 1t was predicted that he would
retire from public life The wife he lost
was the daughter OF the earl of wemyss A
woman OF great talent and distinction, she
helped materially to push him politically

Henry B. w. Miner Of West Radford House.

her sister Lady Grand, at Westgate- on Sea.
The countess married the present earl
twenty years ago. Some five years later the
earl sought to divorce her on the ground
that she was not sane at the time of their
marriage, but he lost his case. The countess
was put under restraint less than two
months after the wedding and remained so
until lately, She is now quite restored
mentally and more beautiful than ever, but
she intends to live in retirement, and has
not been reeonciled to the earl.

rodin recently, whence the rumor first came.
While Lord Rosebery was prime minister
he gave Lady Naylor Leylands husband his
baronetcy, as Leyland left the tory party
