CONTEMPT FOR THE NOBILITY
Curious Motive of Marquis Who Seeks
to Sell His Title 20
Wealthy wife.

Copyright, 1902, by Press Publishing Coz
LONDON, Feb. S.-(New York World Ca
blegram-Special Telegram mystery still
enshrouds the identity OF the marquis who
offers TO marry "a wealthy lady, age and
looks immaterial," on payment OF $4,000
to the future husband. But the identity
has been narrowed down by curious persons
employing the process Of exhaustion to two
holders of that title, the marquis a. Sligo. a
bachelor in his seventy-eighth year, with
pothing hut heavily encusN5etea Inssh. esd
tates, and the marquis Of Clanricarde,
gay bachelor of 20. and reputed to be the
worst landlord in ireland. Clanricarde
lends money under the name of Sanguinetti
Is a noted art connisseur, is eccentric in
dress and habits, is an inveterate cynic
and is said to be q miser. General gossip
is that he makes his own clothes, and their
extraordinary cut would bear out such a
supposition.
Those who know him declare that he is
capable of this marriage freak, not SO
much for the money, though that would be
consideration, as from sardonic delight
in bringing contempt on his own order OF
nobility, by which he is boycotted No one
imagines. IL he is the seeker after mar
riage in the way outlined, that he would
i've WIN tue hdrchioness so ootained. out
II is the presumption that he would thus
simply sell her the right to bear the title.
The lawyers acting for the mysterious mar
quis have had no bona fide offer.
The earl of Crewe. who married Lord
Rosebery's youngest daughter, has pur-
chased Wkarncliffe house, Curzon street,
Mayfair. for $4,000. 1t directly faces the
site Of the duchess of Marlborough's slowly
rising town mansion, but has much more
extensive area.
Lord Crewe intends to start a political
salon to aid Lord Rosebery in regaining the
liberal leadership.
Social influence counts enormously in
English politics, and. as Sir Henry Campbell
Bannerman's party has little, Rosebery's
capture Of the leadership Is certain II he
can be brought to exert himself.

LovELlEsT WOMAN OF THE DAY
Discussion Among london People Set
ties the Mantle Upon COun-
tess of warwick.

Copyright. 1902 by Press Publishing Coz
LONDON, Feb. s.--CNew York World Ca
blegram-Special Telegram. )--"who among
society women will go down TO future gener-
ations as having been the loreliest and
most interesting female Of her day?' was
discussed recently in a company OF well
known people. 1t was finally agreed by all
that the countess Of warwick undoubtedly
is, as one expressed It. ''the only great
woman who may be said to strike both the
popular imagination and that Of smaller
and more select circles Of diary and letter
writer's. who make history in these mat
ters."
One OF the company, sfterward recalling
the discussion. summed it up thus: "of
course the secret Of the countess personal
popularity is not far to seek. The fairies
who presided over Daisy Maynard's
christening endowed her with extraordinary
charm of manner, kindness OF heart and
the quick wit SO often denied to the other
wise fortunate possessor of exceptional
Low eliness.
"In these days people forget quickly, but
fancy many can remember Lady warwick's
wonderful glrlish beauty In the days when
she was still a debutante and at a time
when it was more than whispered that she
was on the eve Of becoming the bride Of
our most studious and serious-minded royal
prince. The fact that this same gentle
and kindly royal parsonage lived to act as
best man at the wedding Of Miss May
nard and the then Lord Brooke. showed that
even In these days the most charming
women Of our time know how to succeed In
doing what so many women fail to do,
turning a lover into friend"
Chief among the rivals OF the countess OF
| warwick for the distinction Of being the
reigning beauty Of her time were the
marchioness of Londonderry. Princess
Henry of Pless, Mrs. George Keppel, Miss
Muriel Wilson and Lily Langtry.
The engagement Of the earl OF Lytton to
Miss Pamela Plowden, who last year was
reported engaged to the millionaire Lord
Howard De Walden, has excited great In
terest. Lord Lytton is four years younger
than his fiance, who is 20. He is compara-
lively poor, but intends to devote himself
to politics, being an excellent speaker,
clever and energetic. The marriage is not
one the dowager countess Of Lytton would
have planned, but her son has pleased him

that the JaI.anese Foreign Office viii
forward the awards to the Secretary

quest that the same be paid. This Is
done in order that the japanese claim
