4 ROMANTIC CAREER.
Speculator and husband Of Duchess
Enas Up as a Marine.
e. L. Dryer, Former Chicago Million
aire, Anxious to Secure His Re-
lease from, the Navy in Order
to Begin Life Over Again.

Edward L. Dwyer, once millionaire
mine owner, promoter and bold specu-
lator in wheat, who startled even Chi
cago by his daring, and who later mar
ried a duchess worth millions OF dol
lars. sailed into the Brooklyn navy
yard the other day marine on the
United States transport Calgos-
Dressed in his natty sailor suit, his
face broazed by the Philippine sun,
his muscles hardened by work, Dwyer
looked little like dashing speculatos
and husband of duchess.
Dwyer has been in the service of the
United States since July 81, 1900, when
penn..ess. disinherited by his aged
wife, tired Of wandering, he went to
Harrisburg and enlisted in the marine
corps. The term of enlistment is three
years, but Dwyec has influences at
work in the navy department, and
there is little doubt that his early dis
charge will be secured.
Dwyer first attracted attention n
1886, then a member of the Chicago
bushels of wheat for future delivery
without 6epositing margins. While in
New York in 1894, representing west
ern mining interests, he met the
Duchess de Castelluccia, whose hus-
band had died only short while be-
fore. leaving her a fortune estimated
at S7.O00.O0O. She was more than 40
years older than Dwyer. but he won
her, and the two were married at Rock
Ridge, Fla. January 2e, 1895.
The duchess died soon after the we'd
ding, leaving the bulk of her fortune
to her two children. Dwyer received
$4,000.
Dwyer then started on the road to
financial ruin through speculation,
and in May. 1899, he found himself PEN
niless. He filed petition in bankrupt
cy in New York, with liabilities Of
s252,o55 and no visible assets. But
Dwyer within year had organized a
company with capital Of sl,5o0. 600
to develop silver mines in Zacatecas,
Mexico. Apparently this scheme was
not successful, and year later he was
again penniless. It was then that he
enlisted and was assigned to service
in the Philippines.
While Dwyer was in the Philippines
he looked about him for. favorable in.
vessments and he thinks enterprise
there will open the way to fortune. It
is said that the bronzed. marine will go
back to the islands Immediately upon
receiving his discharge.

MONEY IN FARMING The Darling

MONEY IN FARMING The Darling
ton Messenger says: Mr.. S. E. Truett,
who is farming near Oats, will sell
$1,000 worth Of tobacco and cotton
from a one-horse crop this year. be-
sides having corn, peas, potatoes, etc..
as food crop. Some people seem to
think that the people in towns and
cities are the ones who make all the
money, but this case, and many others
we know of. would indicate that there
is good money in farming. In farm
ing. as in other things, great deal
depends upon the man behind the
gun" so to speak.

The national treasury has helped
the banks at a time of stringency."
But the Republicans thought it very
funny that the farmers asked the
same help in their time Of trouble Of
fering security just as good. The
philanthropy of the Republicans is
limited to those who are able to con-
tribute literally to the campaign fund.

VARIOUS reasons have been given
for the action of the Southern Re-
publicans in trying to Eliminate the
negro as a factor in politics, but the
real reason is that the white men in
the party want the offices, and they
think the best way to secure them is,
to fire the black brother.

The coal problem at the North is a
very vital one. 1t is serious enough

the poor at the rate of $50 per ton:
and but little to be had even at these
prices.

Another matter: the Advertiser has
a correspondent in Washington who

he has his orders. and since he makes
