Some Celebrated Men Who Married
Their Domestic Servants

Some Celebrated Men Who Married
Their Domestic Servants
Many celebrated men have married
their domestic servants. Sir Henry
ParI<es, premier Of New South Wales,
is an example One night when dining
aft friends house he was struck by
the appearance OF a servant girl Who
waited upon the table and persuaded
his host to allow her to enter his en-
pIoy. This she did and for short time
held the position Of cook in Sir Henry
household Then he made her Lazy
Parkes.
But more illustrious than this is the
case of Peter the Great. One day he
was dining at the house of Prince Men
shikoff. He noticed one of the servant
maids particularly, and, though she
was not handsome, she caught his fan
cy. Her name, the prince told the ear,
was Martha. She had been servant
in the house OF O Lutheran minister or
Marienburg, and whea that city was
captured by the troops of Russia she
had been taken prisoner by General
Bauer, who had passed her over to the
prince, whose servant she was. The
count politely made present of her to
the czar, who eventually married her.
William Cobbett, the great writer,
when he was only twenty-one years OF
age one morning CHANGED to see a bux-
ON servant girl busily engaged in
washing the family linen. The girl
was pretty, 80 Goblet spoke to her.
learned her name and the same even
ing called upon her parents and said
he would like to marry their daughter.
The parents of the girl informed the
young man that they had no objections
to him as their son-in-law, but that he
would have to wait until their daugh-
ter was of marRiageable ago. Five
years later Cobbett, true to bis early
love, married her.

pointment of time and place for con-
ference of the committee with the Coun-
Gil
On motion of Councilman Stanton it
was ordered that the conference be held
in the council chamber Immediately af-
ter adjournment of the Council. As
thus arranged the committee Of the silk
workers union were received-immediatel
after the adjournment of the Council
meeting. The committee; it was found,
represented only the Italian strikers,
those of other nationalities not being
represented.
After half an hours talk with those
of the committee the Council appointed a
committee of three Councilmen, Boehler,
Laune and Lynch, to call on the mill
owners today and ascertain what con-
cession, if any, will be made by them, or
if all or how many Of the strikers will
be taken back should they decide to re-
turn to work.
The Council believes that the business
interests which have suffered materially
on account of the strike, and the vel
fare of the public demand this movement
on its part.

SEIZED HIS WIFE
Man Takes Woman From Ho-
tel to Sanitarium BY
Force.

Especial to "The Jersey City News ]
CAMDEN, Aug. IA, 1902.-AIrs. Will
lam S. Taylor, who for two days sue
eessfully repelled the efforts of her hus-
band to dislodge her from her apartments
in the West Jersey Hotel, was outwit-
ted by two keepers from the Friends
private asylum of Frankford. who forci-
bly, placed her in a carriage and took her
over the river.
Mrs. Taylor was brought from Atlan-'
tic City, where she escaped from pri-
vate stnitarium, to Camden, refusing to
go to Philadelphia. She was taken to
the West Jersey Hotel and lodged on the
fourth floor. The proprietor refused to
permit Mrs. Taylor to be spied upon or
coerced. an dshe considered herself safe.
Mr.. Taylor, her husband, and rela
tive, accompanied by two men. who re-
presented themselves as detectives, but
who were believed to be keeprs, from the
Frinds' Asylum, appeared at the hotel.
Mrs. Taylor was induced through STRAIT
'agem to open the door, when one of the
men grabbed her about the waist, rushed
her downstairs and into a waiting car
riage, in spite of her screams and strug-
giles, and in defiance of the protests of
the proprietor, who demanded to see their
authority.
The horses were whipped into a gal
lop an dthe. woman was taken to Phila-
delphia.

Won't Pay Gutenberg Tax
and Dares the Town
to Chop Down Poles.
BIG LAW SUIT THREATENED
Officials Sharpening Axes for
Next Week-Lots of Fun
Ahead in North Hudson.

The eyes of the world are upon Gut
tenberg.
As told in "The News" two weeks ago,
the Western Union Telegraph Company
have not paid taxes on their property for
two years, claiming that the assessment
is excessive. The Board of Council did
not think 50 and instructed Town Clerk
Walter Vandebach to inform the com-
pany that the poles would be cut down
if the taxes were not paid in two weeks.
At meeting of the board last evening
a communication was received from the
company stating that they did not pro-
pose to pay the taxes unless they were
reduced They also asked if it was the
custom in Gutenberg to burn down the
houses when the taxes were not paid.
Paterson is in the same fix regarding
the taxes of this company, and possibly
other places, so Gutenberg becomes a
centre of interest for all town councils.
The Western Union Company say an
Injunction will be issued and pretty
expensive litigation will be the outcome.
They say they do not want any trouble,
but the letter intimates that they want
to be their own assessors.
The communication was referred to
the Committee ON Law. The town Off
cials are sharpening their axes.

A. B. C0RNELL's VISIT.
New York's Ex-Gcvernor's Quest for

Former Governor Alonzo B. Cornell,
of New York, whose mental condition has
been described this morning in the New
York papers, visited Jersey City week
ago Saturday. He made inquiries at
the Office of THE News fer his friend,
Major G. X. Pangbcrn. After being di-
rectod to the Majors home at Arlington
and Bramhall avenues, he stated that he
did not have time to make the trip.
His actions at the time excited COM
ment, but it was not supposed htat he
was uffering lrom a mental affliction.
The fact that lie inquired for the loca
tion of the Postal Telegraph Company,
when he. has the privilege of using the
Western Union lines at all times, was
also considered strange.
Before leaving the Office he presented
one of the reporters with a quarter of
the date Of 1922.

days ago that he would not be bothered

Last night three of these employees
perched themselves on the stoop as usual.
The laundryman protested and ordered
them away. No one paid any attention
to the Chinaman or moved. Yong then
secured large pail of water and delib-

drenching the trio. They moved this
time. and did so in lively manner

tice of the Peace J. X Murphy TO conn
pei hias to make proper sewer cannee-'

Sauer, representing the Jersey City
Board of Health, made the complaint.
On the property is two story frame
structur. The upper floor is used as a
living apartment and the lower floor as
a stable for FIVE horses. The flooring
on the ground floor is in very poor con-
dition, being entirely worn through, in
some places exposing the ground, be-
tween which and the boards there is no
concreting. All the filth which accumu-
lates in the stable sinks into the ground
and runs into the cellar of house own
ed by Daniel E. Soule, at No. 267
Twelfth street.
A petition was sent to the Board of
Health signed by eight of the neighbors
complaining of the condition of affairs
Practically the same case was tried
before and decided in favor of Murphy
owing to technical error in the COM
plaint.
Murphy was much excited when in
court this morning and during a conyer-
sation with Judge Hoos made the fol-
lowing remark
Il want square decision in this mat
ter and don't propose to be intimidated
or suppressed by you or anyone else
81 don't want any such talk as that
in this court" said Judge Hoos, "and
further, ] will state that everyone gets
a fair decision here"
The controversy continued for mo-
ment and then Murphy cooled down.
The case was laid over until tomorrow.
