FORTUNE HUNTERS.
Marriages Of Many Americas Girls of
wealth 10 TITLED Foreigners
Tzrn Out Unfortunately.

The marriage Of many American
girls Of wealth to titled foreigners is
Just now receiving more than usual
attention. The disclosures regarding
the post-wedding experience Of some
Of the brides who have left their
homes and native land to become the
wives of real or bogus noblemen Of
Europe are in many cases humiliating
and distressing.
Margaret Van Etten in a cabled ar
ticle from Vienna gives 3 few Of the
names Of American women who have
come to grief by such foreign alliances.
There are thirteen on her list, and the
number might be increased by q thor
ough study Of the newspaper files. EY-
cry woman mentioned married q title,
and most, II not all Of them, were
subjects Of extensive newspaper notice
when their weddings occurred. Their
triumph was in the blaze Of publicity;
their humiliation and suffering have
been chiefly In private. IN every case
cited these women have either secured
divorces or are liyiRg apart from their
husbands
Some Of the daughters Of Americans
Of wealth. says the Rochester Demo
crat and Chronicle. have contracted
happy marriages with foreigners and
BY their subsequent lives have reflect
ed honor upon their native land IN
their new homes. There is no reason
why an English nobleman should not
fall IN love with rich American girl
and marry her. precisely as he might
have loved and married q poor Eng
fish girl It is not such cases which
are open TO criticism. but the numer-
Gus alliances which are clearly the pro-
duet Of fortune-hunting negouatora

For nearly 30 years they have resided
on their little reservation In Indian
Territory about tsn miles south Of

This tribe was at one time the

most heroic stand for their liberty
ever made BY any tribe or nation.
With q small body Of chosen warriors
they "stood on" or held at bay the
entire army OF the United States for
many weeks. They killed Gen. Candy,
commanding the United States forces.

than there were members Of their

and after hanging Capt Jack. their

VOLCANOES
Outbreak OF subterranean Fires Can
BE Counted on 90 Occur with
Considerable Regularity.

Mount Vesuvius was active again
last month, after a long period Of in
ternal rumblings. but its activity was
neither strange nor unexpected. Al
though not in a state OF continual erup-
ton, this volcano pours forth lava with
unusual frequency. It's most disastrous
eruption was rivaled last year by the
explosion Of Mont Pelee in Martin
ique Within twelve months Strom-
bolt, in Sicily, Santa Maria in Guate-
mala, Colima in Mexico, and less
known volcanoes in Samoa and other
parts Of the world have been active.
The outbreak of the subterranean
fires, says the Youths Companion, can
be counted on TO occur with consider
able regularity. Year in and year out
the newspapers win contain just about
so many reports Of volcanic life: Just
as, one century with another, the num-
Der OF disasters from food and storm
will average the same, shipwrecks will
reeur with unchanging frequency, and
crimes Of violence will repeat them
selves with substantial uniformity.
To the student Of statistics the round
Of repetition seems to go on unceasing-
ly, this year repeating last year, and
so on back to the beginning. But as
Howells has well said in one Of his
wise and philosophic poems. the round
is spiral and each year finds the human
family a little higher in its struggle
inward, even though the phenomena
Of inanimate nature may persist with
apparently unYarying regularity.
