Government buying Back Estates

The government OF New Zealand Is
still pursuing its policy of buying back
large estates from the proprietors and
cutting them up into holdings for men
OF small means II is SUCCESSFULLY pro-
viding allotments near the large towns
for workmen's homes, in the hope that
this may relieve poor men from the
excessive, almost prohibitory, rents of
cities. A man who has an acre of fer
tile land near town at an almost
nominal price can partly keep his fam
lily by growing vegetables and working
at his garden in his spare time. He
is in a vastly superior position to the
laborer who has to pay about one-third
OF his income in rent for bare house
room, and turn out into the street
the instant the weekly rent Is not
forthcoming. The effort is not limited
to this acre allotment system; the
country estates bought back by the
government are cut into small farms
on which thrifty agriculturists may
make livings for their families. Re-
Gently the government bought for this
purpose the Glenham estate of IL SOC
acres, near Wyndham; the Kakaku
estate OF 2.250 acres. near Pleasant
Point, South Canterbury, and several
other properties in the vicinity oi

WheE II was ended Beach was dl-
vorced and Bettina added Schuyler 10
her already long list OF names. Her
father, Cen Ordway, offered her an
annuity OF 81 900 for life to leave the
country. She went to London with
Schuyler. and collapsed physically
when she made her debut.
The Last Chapter
She returned to America and went
into private sanitarium, dissipation
having so weakened her. I. was in
November OF 1897 that Gen Ordway
Mrs. Ordway and Miss Padelford, Bet
tina Girard's daughter, returned from
Europe to New York. They found
Bettina lying deserted by her friends
in Bellevue Hospital. The old general
shook his head when a reconciliation
was mentioned; but Mrs. Ordway, the
mother, pleaded with him sobbingly.
November 2l Gen. Ordway died at the
Hoffman House. Before he passed
away, ard due to the pleading of his
wife, he permitted an interview with
Bettina, and was making plans for a
return to Washington with her and
reunion of the family when he died.
Bettina finally recovered her health
and recently in Chicago she married
| Francis Witter, youth just entering
, upon promising theatrical career.

proposition that prompted James P.
Allaire, its founder. to establish the
colony which for number of years
was such a busy place.
That the town finally became de-
serted village was due, in a measure,
to a peculiar combination of circum-
stances, and not attributed to any lack
of foresight or ability on the part of
Mr. Allaire.
In fact, had he not been dissuaded
from carrying out some of his plans,
notably, that OF building railroad,

"Bien," Bettina answered, "M'sieu l
shall make you famous"
She sprang to the seat of her chair.
Listen" she cried. This gentle
man will drink my health, and the
health to fame"
Amid perfect silence she slipped off
her satin slipper. filled it with spark
ing champagne and handed it to the
young Frenchman. Although he
blushed crimson in his embarrass-
ment. he drank 1t of. Bettina snatched
the slipper from him and drained an
other health.
1t was talked of all over the coun-
try. Gen. Ordway and his wife, scan
dalized, hastily left White "ulphur,
taking their daughter with them.
Shortly after this she met Arthur
Padelford, the only son and heir of
one of Boston's wealthiest men. She
married him The wedding, which
took place at st. Johns church in
Washington, was attended by all OF the
best social set.
"A good thing" said her friends;
"the girl will now settle down"
The honeymoon was spent in Eu-
rope. They wandered happily down
the Rhine. across the Alps, went into
Italy and the wild spirit OF the maiden
seemed to have become tanned in the
bride. At Vienna a child was born
to them. 1t was over this child that
they had their first quarrel. Padel-
ford left her in Vienna, returning to
this country. Many rumors followed
him. AS if to bring disgrace upon the
name of Padelford. she decided to go
upon the comic opera stage. In her
debut she shared the honors with
Henry Dixey. She was only 81.
Marriages and Divorce.
Divorced, she married a man named
Girard She dropped the name OF Pa

the payment OF $4,000 in cash from
her former husband. And then, in
quick succession, came marriage and

Rolface, a tenor who had been stabbed
nearly to death few months before
by Robert Monroe. Then she became

here that peace Is Imminent In South

sequence OF the conferences held here
and at Utrecht and the Boer ENJOYS
and refugees are asserting in louder
cry than ever. that the war will last
four years longer unless there can be

When the three Boer commissioners
were sent 20 America II was assumed
that a good case would be made out

conduct OF the war and the shipment
OF supplies OF horses and mules from
the United States would be prohibited.
