the chance to get even, by designing
and constructing the head gear for
women

1t is useless to quarrel with daugh-
ters of American multimillionaires
who enter upon international alliances.
Isolated as they are by their great
fortunes, they are necessarily restrict
ed in their acquaintance with men,
and in their choice of husbands in
this country to the narrow circles Of
the idle rich. Within those limits
money is the principal and often the
only standard of social virtue. In that
environment a simple marriage Of af-
fection must be comparatively rare.
Not upon the daughters, but upon the
sons of the American rich, must rest
whatever Of blame there may be for
the surrender of the American woman
to the titled fortune hunter. 1t is not
her fault If she can get more for her
money in London than in New York.

CALVERT ESTATE SOLD.
Home of Former Barons of Maryland
May Become a Sanitarium.

A dispatch to the New York Sun from
Upper Marlboro, Md, says: The Mount
Airy homestead. the home of the late Miss
Eleonora Calvert and her brother, Cecilius
Calvert has been sold to Mrs. Frances Glib
son of Ohio for the sum of $1,000. The
800 acres are near Rosaryville. Since the
death of Miss Calvert, the property was
purchased for $4,000. and it was known
that Secretary of State Hay was tAe sue
cessful bidder.
After a short period 1t was found that
others were willing to pay an additional
price, and although the sale was consid-
cred closed In the courts of Prince George,
the question of the right of the trustees TO
perfect the sale was taken up, and when
higher figures We're offered the sale was
closed. Mr.. Hay said he would withdraw
his bid.
Thus the homestead of the illustrious Call
verts-the barons of Maryland-and for
more than 200 years the residence of the
best-known family of Maryland, passed into
the hands of strangers. 1t is said that tho
once large estate of the Calverts will 60

BIG FIRE AT OTTAWA
HUNDREDS OF FAMILIES ARE
RENDERED HOMELESS.
Fifteen Million Feet Of Lumber De-
stroyed-Loss Estimated at
100000.

A dispatch from Ottawa, Ont. last night
says: A fire. suspected OF being of incen-
| diary origin, this afternoon and evening
destroyed hundreds of houses and millions
of feet OF lumber in this city
John White. who had just been released
from the penitentiary, after serving a term
OF Imprisonment for arson. was caught near
where the fire was first discovered. He
was taken to the police station and will be
charged with starting the disastrous con-
flagration.
The fire originated within a stones throw
of where the great Hull fire of April g.
1900. was checked. The Hull fire started
on the opposite side of the river and spread
to the Ottawa side, destroying millions OF
dollars worth of property. 1t burned out
near where the Ottawa and Parry Sound
railway enters the western part of the
city, and 1t was in the lumber yards near
the railroad that today's fire originated
Two hours before the principal fire started
two smaller blazes were discovered and
quickly extinguished in the lumber yards
near the Canadian Pacific railway. 1t was
3 30 O'Clock when the third was discovered.
When the brigade arrived at the scene It
was found that the water main had been
damaged and no water could be obtained.
When the brigade did get water the fire
was utterly beyond it's control. 1t swept
fire had gone, the only difference being
that it was going in the opposite direction.
There is a large cliff which extends from
the Ottawa river into the corner of Mar
garet and Preston streets. The fire area
was on the flats below the cliff. At two
or three points it came very near getting
over the cliff, and had 1t done so nothing
would have saved the city.
AT $50 o'clock tonight the fire was under
control and was confined to the following
area: The Ottawa and Parry Sound rail-
way on the south, Division street on the
east, list avenue on the west and the Rich
mond road on the north.
Fifteen million feet of lumber was de-
stroyed. 1t belonged to ]. r. Booth and
was sold. The loss the lumber will be
about 100000. The buildings burned were
principally dwelling houses and stores The
loss the buildings is estimated at va
rious figures tonight. Mayor Cook said
that there were from 500 to 600 families
homeless. about 1000 individuals. All
the parties are supposed to be well insured.
The mayor said the city would oppose
any aid being asked from outside Canada,
and personally, he thought that the city
should grapple with the-s situation without
any appeal for outside help

IN MEMORY OF TALMAGE.
Services at Grace M. E. Church il
Harrisburg Today.

Harrisburg Today.
A dispatch from Harrisburg. Pa, yester-
day says:
Today Grace Methodist Episcopal Church
of this city held memorial services in honor
of the life and works of Rev. DIR. T Dewitt
Talmage.
At the morning services, after an appro-
pirate sermon by the Rev. DIR. William V.
Kelley, editor of the Methodist Review, a
costly and beautiful pulpit, the work of
Tiffany & Co. of New York. erected as a
memorial to DR.. Talmage, was unveiled
and dedicated with impressive ceremonies.
The pulpit, which is most stately and ar
tistic is constructed of serpentine marble
and inlaid with mosaics in harmonious
tones Of red, green and gold, enriched with
mother-of pearl. On the speakers left is
an electric reading lamp, with a shade of
Tiffany Favrille glass. On the front of the
pulpit is a Greek cross inlaid in mosaic and
framed in a border Of the same material
There are also panels on the side formed by
mosaic bands. In each of the front corners
are octagonal columns, on each face of
which is placed mosaic panel. At the
base of the pulpit on the speakers right
there is a bronze tablet with the following
inscription in raised letters:
''In Memory of T. Dewitt Talmage
Preacher and Lecturer,
Thrice Heard Here

mind what should do among so many? A
man loves his peace of mind at two ana
forty, mademoiselle."
Miss Mannering did not dispute 1t. She
looked at the rug. 1t was a very good
sort OF rug, as rugs go.
How is the princess?' inquired Colonel
Won Altdorf presently.
She's living In a bubble of happiness, a
Spanish castle of joy said the girl. ALAS,
she doesn't know the bubble must burst
and the castle tumble about her ears. She
thinks she's on the threshold of heaven
that will last her life, long. All. what a
cruel trick it was, Colonel Won Altdorf!'
Necessity is always cruel, mademoi-
selle," said the diplomat. Happiness Is
usually a bubble, and joy a chateau en-
Espagne. And. as every one knows, bub-
bles must burst and air castles fade away"
She was greatly shocked when the
prince burst into the garden the other
day." pursued Miss Mannering. "She can't
get over the feeling that she has known
him or seen him somewhere before, that
he has played some part in her life-in-
deed it's far from strange! Sir Gavin calls
1t by some long and dreadful name, the
partial recollection. He was quite excited
over it"
But she's better in general way? She's
stronger?' asked Won Altdorfs
"Oh. infinitely better! She's almost her
old self again. The color is back in her
cheeks, and the roundness to her neck
she's gained wonderfully in weight. All,
yes, she's almost as strong as ever now,
just in these few days, and all because
she's happy. oh, Mr.. Creighton told me
of Mr.. Mallory's duel with the prince in
the garden the other day. 1t must have
been wonderful"
Hes the most marvellous swordsman 1
ever saw" said Won Altdorf warmly. He
was born to It. No man, even with the
career that Denis has had, could acquire
such skill by practice only. It's beyond
words"
And he might have killed the prince
and made his own way easy" unused the
girl. Mr. Creighton told me that for one
little moment he thought 1t would hap
pen."
Yes" said Won Altdorf, for one little
moment l thought so too. No man is
above temptation. We saw him tempted
and by heaven, we saw him put tempta-
ton away as few men could have DONE
But as for that there are few men like
him. I'll tell you something saw yes

COLOMBIA TO RECEIVE RENT.
Senior Pulecio's Suggestion Regarding
Proposed Waterway Across Isthmus.

Proposed waterway Across 1stnmus.
A dispatch from Panama yesterday says:
Gerardo Pulecio, a prominent member OF
the conservative party, discusses the canal
question in a recent issue of the Correo
Nacional, published at Bogota- He says
the renewal of the canal concession granted
by President Sanclemente is legal. the
government having constitutional powers to
take this step. No company or European
government is willing to risk any money in
the canal venture after the de Lesseps fall
ure says Senior Pulecio; therefore. the
United States only can undertake the con-
struction Of the canal with chances OF sue
cess.
Colombia never enjoyed effective sover-
eighty on the isthmus because the United
States landed troops there whenever 1t
wanted to, and even denied Colombians the
innocent right to kill each other. Stll,
in the canal treaty, Colombian sovereignty
on the isthmus should be distinctly recog-
nized, argues Senior Pulecio, not only to
calm the nerves of apprehensfve patriots,
but because Colombia may within 100 or
200 years develop into a strong nation and
be able to recover sovereignty on the 18TH
mus.
Senior Pulecio says nothing against police
control or mixed tribunals on the isthmus
so long as Colombian laws prevail. He says
that as Colombia laborS under a load OF
$50 600, 900 pesos of paper money, the pres
ent generation and its descendants must be
saved He proposed the following plan:
The United States to pay Colombia for the
canal concession the sum of $4,000. 900
without discount, concession or reduction,
and 81, 100000 yearly rental for the canal
zone; Colombia to be free from any claims
which may arise against the canal COM
pany. The United States is to recognize
the sovereignty of Colombia on the 18TH
mus. The other conditions put down by
Senior Pulecio are the same as has been
specified in the treaty.
