chosen. Before his death Mr.. Goelet
invested in much Manhattan Island
real estate, his land speculations being
continued by his son, Peter P. Goelet.
Even these shrewd inhabitants of old
Manhattan, however, could not have
foreseen the enormous increase in New
York realty values that the passing
years have witnessed, and none would
have been more surprised than they at
the outcome of the nest egg laid at the
Hanover square store
1t was this increase in real estate val~
ues that enabled Ogden Goelet, who
died in 1897 aboard his yacht off Cowes,
to leave such a handsome fortune to

EI ILIII ls,aiiiLl renewed impetus to
the Zionist movement
which had been some
what checked by the inability of DIR.
Theodore Herzl to come to terms with
The sultan of Turkey in regard to the
occupation of Palestine by the Jews
the sultan insisting upon terms which
were incompatible with the Zionist
programme The Importance of the Of
fer was quickly realized by the con-
gress. which after a two days debate
appointed a committee of nine to act
with the central executive committee
in examining the British proposal 1t
was also decided that the committee
should pass upon the ACCESSIBILITY of
sending a commission to east Africa to
investigate the conditions that would
confront the Jews upon their arrival.
1t is not too much TO say that DR..
Herzl. who above all other men has
devoted his time and money to further
ing the Zionist movement is pleased
with the British offer. After his nego-
tiations with the sultan came to naught
he approached the Egyptian govern
ment with a proposal looking to the ac-
QUESTION of the rights of the Sinai PEN
insula adjoining Palestine as spot
for the foundation of the new Zion.
He found the authorities favorably in
clined. and a commission of Anglo
Egyptian officials and prominent Zion
lists was appointed to look into the
subject, but it was soon found that the
water problem would present an insur-
nountable obstacle to the settlement of
the country.
Then it was that Great Britain came
forward with her east Africa sugges-
tion which made such Il favorable i'm
preston upon the Basel congress Ac
vording to DR.. Herzl Lord Lansdowne,
Premier Balfour and Colonial Secretary
Chamberlain are a unit in agreeing to
give the Jews fun autonomy subject to
a British protectorate. and all three
are anxious to see the offer accepted as
a peaceful solution of what is rapidly
becoming one of the greatest of old
world problems. 1t is understood that
the tract of land. which lies in the
Uganda region and is about 200 miles
long by 80 or 100 miles wide, has been
rendered to the Zionists free from mon
etary considerations. and it is believed
in diplomatic circles that the gift will
ultimately be accepted.

repeated question whether this much
sought after American heiress, worth
perhaps SIS. O00.00o in her own name
would marry for love or Il title. AS her
friends have been quick to point out. her
tiance is not one of England's penniless
nobility. for his rent roll alone brings
him in an income of $500, 600 a year. and
il is Wen known that Miss Goelet has
frequently given voice to her resolution
TO marry for love or not at all. The an
swer to the question appears to be,
therefore, that, incidentally marrying a
title, hers is purely a love match The
ngagement itself was not a, complete
surprise, for of late Roxburghe has
been Il persistent wooer but what was
a surprise for most people was the fact
that the youthful heiress of the Goelet
millions had definitely made up her
mind to marry him, for the common i'm
preston was that she had no present
intention of plighting her troth to any
body.
Rumor has in the past linked her
name with the names of seions of sew
eral highborn European families as
well as in one or two cases with the
names of enterprising gentlemen of
fortune. but hitherto her heart has re-
manned proof against the opportunities
of her many suitors. The fact that
she has spent the greater part of the
past few years abroad doubtless gave
rise to the many reports of engage
inents in which her name was men
toned. but there is no gainsaying the
fact that at one time or another her
hand has been sought in marriage by
more than one member of noble houses.
