RICH GIRL FOR EARL
Lord Yarmouth Engaged to a Beau
tiful Heiress.
Young Man Has nm Old Title, Rut In
short of Money-Young Womnn's
Mother strongly Opposed
TO Match.

Announcement has been made of the
to Miss Mary Thaw, daughter Of the
late William Ihaw, the millionaire. Of
Pittsburg, who has passed the winter
10 Washington. Mrs. Mary Thaw,
mother Of the young woman, makes
the announcement, but with the com
ment to her friends that there is a
long distance between the announce
ment 81 an engagement and a
riage."
Mrs. Thaw, however, is stern in de-
~nouncing the alliance, and will cut Miss
Thaw off from a few millions Of dol
lars at her death. However, from al
most no income at all to several mill
lion dollars, the amount of Miss Thaw's
personal fortune, seems an alluring
step to the earl, and when 1t is owned
by a pretty and viyacious American
girl, it is doubly worth his long eff
forts TO secure a wife in this country.
The earl Of Yarmouth came 10 Wash
ington from New York some weeks ago
as a guest Of Harry X. Thaw, at his
Lafayette square house, and almost
Immediately the attachment between
the earl and Miss Thaw became cur
rent talk. The rumor Of their engage
ment gained rapidly in society, but
was warmly denied by Mrs. Thaw. Aft
er an evident failure to bring the earl's
visit to a close, because his suit was
highly favored by Mr.. Tbaw, Miss Thaw
was gotten ready IN short notice and
sent to her sister, Mrs. George Carne-
gle, at Cumberland island, their win
ter home on the southern coast of
Florida.
Mrs. Thaw shut up the home in La
fayette square right in the middle Of
the social season, an action which in
itself was a great surprise to all who
knew her. She urged as a reaso inn
portant business affairs in Pittsburg
requiring immediate attention,
Miss Thaw was provided with a pri-
vate car on the Palm limited, and fur

nished with what her mother consid-
cred proper company for the journey
to the south.
After the train was well on the way
out of Washington, a well-dPessed
young Englishman in the sleeper just
ahead of the special car made some
inquiries as to the identity of those
in the special, and a few minutes later
the card of the earl of Yarmouth was
carried by a porter to Miss Thaw, who
expressed the greatest surprise at the
coincidence.
The earl accompanied the party to
Fernandina, Fla, where they were met
by Mrs. George Carnegie, with the Car
negie yacht. The earl was presented,
and evidently was well received, as he
was a guest of the Carnegies for the
remainder of his stay in Florida wa
tiers. where tarpon fishing and other
pastimes were provided in plenty,
Mrs. Thaw learned of the earl's VISIT
TO the south, and the manner of bis
| going. and forgetting the important
business affairs in P%ittsburg, posted to
the south in her effort to head off the
impending engagement. From the
announcement just issued, it is evident
she failed.
The earl of Yarmouth is the eldest
son of the marquis of Hartford, and
is almost as well known in the east as in
London. having come to America three
years ago in the hope of retrieving his
fortunes, as his title, although one of
the oldest in England, is entirelywith-
out estates. He is well known in the
a%trical circles, having played a short
engagement at o%ne-night theaters and
written for the daily papers on the
atrical topics. He had not been prom
inent in Washington society, but met
Harry Thaw abroad, and came to the
capital as his guest, after a visit to
Pittsburg.
Miss Thaw's acquaintance with Var
mouth began barely three months ago.

rigid precautions to restrict the dis
ease to its present location that out
side Of Mazatlan one may be as secure
from %contagion in Mexico as in any
portion of the United States. Quaran-
tine regulations are SO strict that no
one is now allowed to pass in or out of
the city. Infected buildings are being
destroyed by fire when practicable. If
not composed of combustible mate
rails, a fire built inside is sufficient to
destroy disease germs if the heat be
confined. 1t is said that $50 degrees
f. is certain death to plague germs,
which are not especially tenacious OF
life. Again, it is stated that exposure
to 100 degrees c. for a few minutes or
80 degrees c. for q half hour removes
all danger of ~contagion, also that
strong sunlight exposure for a few
hours aceomplishes the same result.
In ordinary warm drinking water the
microbe lives three days; in semi-dark-
ness it will exist in sputum 16 days, in
lint eight days. 1t has not, thus far,
been demonstrated that any degree of
cold will kill it. While it remains
dormant in a dry place for some time,
given heat and moisture, it at nee be-
comes active and thrives best in I'M
clearly places. Lemon juice or carbolic
acid are considered good to destroy it.
1t grows best at the temperature of the
body. 1t is not as contagious as is gem
orally believed, although it enters the
body by several channels, by inhala-
ton. through the mucous membranes,
through the alimentary canal or by an
abrasion of the skin. A person may
carry the germ in the garments or I'M
der the finger nail for several days and
never become infected, OF the conta-
gion may enter the system several days
after the exposure. After actual in
lection, it usually requires from three
to six days for the disease to develop.
The plague existed in the time of
Dionysius and no one knows how much
earlier. The plague of emerods' men
toned in the Book of Samuel, which oc-
cured 100 b. c. when the Philistines
were smitten after capturing the ark
of the covenant from the lsraelites,
Is supposed to be identical with the
disease of to-day at Mazatlan,
"emerods' being considered as "bu-
boes.' The best early accoun OF the

the richest in the world. The Santo
Nino is one of the nearest, being
about IL miles from the town. The
roads are good, out to and beyond
this point. Rich mines extend back
through the heavily wooded country
for a hundred miles or more. The
ore is packed into town on burros.
Many years g an Indian camped
in the vicinity, and when morning
came saw that his camp fire had
melted the ground. This led to a
knowledge of the richness of the
soil, which is literally full of silver
and gold. The Santo Nino is prob
ably a sample of the best mines, be
ing easily worked, and nea town.
The ore averages S35 per ton in value.
There are now about 1000 tons on
.he dump, and 5000 more blocked out,
while all work is suspended on ac-
count of the plague. The miners,
who now especially need food and
the comforts their labors usually fur
nish, are idle. The history OF
this mine, in this particular, is that
of hundreds of Others. With I'M
counted wealth within touch, these
people exist in absolute poverty and
squalor. The city is beautifully sit

The air of Mexico, except along the
coast, is very dry and invigorating.
The people are gentle, when not
aroused to anger, and are l~istless be-
yond belief. The young women are
noted, the world over, al much for
their beauty as the old are for their

The a~rchaeologist finds interest in
the relics of a forgotten civilization,
and even at the present time the
churches are architectural marvels,
when one considers that they are, as
a rule, constructed of sun-dried
bricks. The resources of the coun'
trv are almost unlimited. The rich
