sheets of rain still falling upon the

Maria Francesca de In Guerra
.,y.ssssfqfs$ All Who.-Proposed.to Her
Were Made Happy.

Few women are placed in. such an
environment of romantic misfortunes
as has followed Sonora Maria de
la Guerra since she was Is years
old. At that age she accompanied
her mother from New York to San
Francisco, where the two took up
their residence. 1t was here that
she met James Mark, and her first
romance began. Her name at that
time was Francesca Maria Schultz,
and this affair was highly approved
by her family, and in due time the
pretty young girl and Mark, who
was several years her senior, were
married. They moved into an ele-
CANT country home, and everything
went well until Mark took up politics,
and secured his election to the Of
fee of county sheriff. Then peace fed
out the doors of the prosperous,
happy home, and the trouble ended
in the divorce courts. Mark did not
attach any blame to his young wife,
and remembered her handsomely
with share of his estate.
Thus she found herself young,
dark-eyed widow with plenty of
means, and naturally a great many
admirers. She was eager to fall in
love, for she wanted a home. So
when DR.. Charles w. Webb, an Eng
lishman, offered her his hand, she
was unable to say no. They were
married, but the honeymoon had
scarcely ended when husband No.
sickened with heart disease, and be-
fore many weeks died, leaving his
still young wife poorer by several
dollars. Her fortune was diminished
and she made up her mind that mat
rimony was not her lucky star. Then
she turned to fnanciering and pros
pered. She specialized extensively

and profted handsomely, and every
thing went we'll with her until she
met Wallace Andrews Fitzgerald, of
New York, the cause of her present
trouble. Fitzgerald was good =. to
look at. He said he was descended
from an Irish king or two, and had
large blue eyes, and the most fascin-
ating gray hair in the world. But
he was a bartender, This did not
suit Mrs. Webb, but he told her there
was lot of good in him, and that
all it needed was cultivation. He
finally consented to give up the bar
and turn financier on her money.
Fitzgerald selected Chicago as the
field offering the greatest promise
to bright young spectators. So he
started out with Mrs. Webb's money,
and her promise to become his wife,
Then came along southern gen
t1eman," T. H. Young by name, who
helped her to forget Fitzgerald, and
the outgrowth of this acquaintance
was another marriage. Young got
all of her money, and then decamped.
His wife followed. and found him.
A stormy scene, which might have
ended in murder, followed, but
tragedy was avoided by the arrival
of John H. Roller, who thrashed the
husband and gave him over to the
police. Mrs. Young secured di-
vorce and married her gallant de-
fender, Roller. The latter soon aft
erward went insane, and again the
wife was compelled to pay for a. le-
gal separation. - >:'ss:.
- Then Fitzgerald appeared again.
He had used the $500 he had bor-
rowed to good advantage, so the
woman could not say no when he
asked her to marry him. But Fitz-
gerald neglected to provide for her,
and finally went away to Arizona or
Mexico.
She was glad to get rid of him at
any price. but this was the begin
ming of her greatest trouble. After
Fitzgerald had departed she met Sc
nor Carlos, de la Guerra, scion of
Spanish royalty. Like the other five,-
he fell in love with her, and when
she heard that Fitzgerald had died
she responded to the senor's mag
netic words and agreed to become his
wife. But two months after the
day, while she was enjoying the lux
uries of her magnificent home,
rude detective, says !. the Chicago
Tribune, slipped quietly into the
house, accompanied by Fitzgerald,
who was an exceedingly lively ghost,
and Informed her that she was a big
amist. This seemed to be true, and
the surprised and disappointed wom-
an was hurried away to Jail, after.
she and her hus band had refused to.
compromise with Fitzgerald for the
stipulated sum Of 81, 900. Now her
marriage with the Spanish royalist
is to be sannulled. s

American Progress.
-THE PROGRESS of the
SS United States in Its
Il Material Industries" is

HE PROGRESS of the
SS United States in Its
Il Material Industries" is
the title of a monograph
issued by the Treasury Bureau of Sta
tistics, containing "a series of state
ments that show the rapid develop
ment during the century of the import
ant factors in the present prosperity of
the country. These tables show the de-
est mine and mandatory, the growth
in our poulation, wealth and commerce,
the extension of railways. telegraphs
and other methods of communication
ana transportation, and present an in
teresting picture of the progress of the
United States and it's peole during the
period from 1900 to 1901.
Among the interesting facts pre-
sented by these tables are the growth
of production, the growth of commerce,
the growth of wealth, the growth Of
money in circulation, the growth of de-
posits in savings and other banks, the
decrease in interest on the public debt,
and many other facts of this character.
On the production side, it may be said
that the cotton produced has increased
from l55,55G bales in 1900 to 9,4S64l6
bales in 1900; the wool produce, from
35,SO2, ia pounds in 1910 to 3O2, ,502, ,32S
pounds in 1900; wheat, from 151 999 900
bushels in 1866 to 2,l05, l02, sic bushels in
l9O0 copper, from $50 tons in 1850 10
27O,5sS tons in 1900; pig iron, from 1885,
600 tons in 1880 to 15,S00 900 tons in 1901 !;
petroleum, from 100000 gallons in
1860 to 2,66i ,23356S gallons in 1900; coal,
from 3,35S,S99 tons in 1850 TO 267, $50 600
tons in 1901; and gold, from $50. 900 900 in
1850 to $79, 900 in 1900
During the period under considera-
tion, exports of merchandise have
grown from $I0,97l.7SO in 1900 to $1,4S7,-
764s9l in 1901; the per capita in 1900 be-
ing Sl3,S7 and in 1901, 1881. The inn
ports of merchandise have grown from
9l,252,T6S in 1900 to $S23 l72,165 in 1901
while the per capita imports have
fallen from Sl7,l9 i'm 1900 to $40 So in 1901
Turning TO the figures which show
the net results of. these developments,
those relating TO wealth, circulation,
deposits, etc, the tables show that the
wealth has increased from $7,135, ,7SO, 600
in 1850 to an estimated $94, 800 OOO,OO in
1900; the per capita wealth, from 1907 SO
in 1850 to Sl,2S5S6 in 1900 The public
debt, less cash in the treasury, was, in
1869 SI6.yS per capita and in 1901 was
sl3.4i per capita; while the interest on
the public debt, which in 1867 was $143.-
7Si592, had fallen to S52,S42,797 in 1901.
The figures of money in circulation
show, in 1860, total of S4S5, ,4O7, ,252, and
in 1891, s2,175,Ss7,271. The circulation
per capita in 1860 was Sl3S5; in 1901,
s2SO2. The deposits in savings banks
in 1890 were $6,97SSO4 In 1883, hfty-
three years later they were $1,024, ,S56,-
