LORDS DAUGHTER WEDS A HEN HERDER
ord Hoods Hress Nares Poultry


Special Correspondence
I ONDON, June 11.-London society
no sooner had begun to exclaim
over contemplated mesalliance by one
Of its fair members, than another such
scandal became an actual fact, and an
even more astounding third has made
the fashionable world gasp. The Gros-
.venor square girl of whom I wrote re-
Gently, and Who-though she has only
$4,000 year now, will have an annual
hundred thousand or so later on
started the ball a-rolling. Her choice
fell upon her handsome chauffeur.
Emma, the dowager Countess of Ra-
Vensworth, has gone one better and
married her coachman at st. Georges,
Hanover square. one of the leading
churches in London for fashionable
marriages. And now, as if to ut-do
all such mesalliances, and to become
herself the central figure in the whole
round of comment on this most absorb
ing topic, the daughter of Lord Hood
of Avalon has just revealed to her
astonished relatives that she has not
only been married for three years to
the man who feeds her fathers poultry
"
that besides she has two children of
the marriage.
How the whole thing has been kept
a secret it is quite beyond her rela-
tives' power to conceive, and, like the
rest of society, they are wondering
where such mesalliances will cease.
The marriage was evidently an ac-
complished fact before the death in
November, 1901, of Lord Hood, who
was an admiral and the first and last
baron Of that name, he being the sec
ond son of Sir Alexander Hood. who
was the second baronet. 1t was the
third baronet's son who married Miss
Elizabeth kirkpatrick, of Salt Lake
City, some four years ago.
Gossip is busy in regard to the rea-
sons which have led the Duke of MarI-
borough to dispose of a number of his
toric pictures during the past week.
One story is that the allowance fur
nished by Papa Vanderbilt is not suf-
fcient to meet the expenses such a DO
htlcal appointment as that held by the
duke entails. Another is that the as
sistant colonial secretary has returned
to his old habits of going the pace.
Gambling was never so rampant in
fashionable clubs as it is at present,
and it is no uncommon thing to find
a young swell with an income of less
than $4,000 a year paying up on Mon
day, which is settling day, losses
amounting from $1,000 to $4,000 If
the sale of the pictures had been con-
fined to many of the doubtful old mas
ters with which the walls Of Blenheim
are ornamented the matter would not
have caused much surprise, but some
of the pictures sold realized as much
as $2,75O. This is the second time in its
history that Blenhefm house has had to
be stripped to replenish the ducal ex-
chequer. The last occasion-was when
the nation acquired a Raphael and a
Vandyke at a cost of $625, 900. These
two pictures now hang in the National
gallery. The deal saved the late duke
from bankruptcy, but there is no sug-
gestion that the present duke will be
ever driven to the same extremity.

countess Deerhurst in consequence of

bey"-the new Berlin cathedral, or
~'Dom," as it is called in Berlinese-
will be dedicated with brilliant cere-
monies in January, 1905. Jan. 27, the
kaiser's birthday, will probably be
chosen as the exact date, as the cath
edral is the kaiser's personal project,
initiated by him shortly after he came
to the throne. The magnificent edifice,
which stands in the I4ustgarten directly
opposite the north entrance of the royal
castle, has been building for eleven
years, the corner stone having been
laid in June, 1894, and it represents
cost of nearly $3,000,0OO. The kaiser
planned originally to spend $5,OG0,O0O,
but the Prussian legislature decided to
vote only half that amount of state
funds for the purpose.

The interior of the cathedral is in

Capt. Chichester, fine figure of a man
with a handsome face, but slender
prospects. An unexpected turn in for
tunes wheel, however, placed him in
possession of the ancient titles and
what remained of the ancient property.
At one time it embraced a large por-
ton of the county of Donegal and al
most the entire site of the prosperous
city of Belfast, but the early Chiches-
ters were great spendthrifts and made
sad inroads on their once large possess
Sions. The first marriage of the mar
quis did not turn out well. There were
some queer circumstances connected
with it-what they were were never
fully disclosed-but they sufficed to
procure an annulment of the marriage
four years after it had taken place, and
the first marchioness was set adrift.
Old, feeble, friendless and destitute,
she turned up some thirty-five years
later at a London Workhouse and ate
her Christmas dinner there. She van
isned again soon afterwards, and is
supposed to have rest and oblivion in
a pauper's grave somewhere.
The marquis married his second wife
in 1865. She died in 1901, childless,
leaving the marquis only brother, Lord
Henry Fitz Warrine, heir to the titles
and property. Nobody imagined when
the aged Marquis married third time
that the succession in the direct line
would be retained, and many were the
congratulations he and the marchioness
received when a son was born to them.
The history of the peerage in recent
years furnishes only one parallel case.
The late Viscount Bolingbroke had no
heir until he was seventy-six years of
age. He married when he was seven
ty-three years old a daughter of Mr..
Robert Howard, and the present Wis
count, who is now eight years of age,
was born three years later.
In other respects his marriage to the
Canadian girl was a fortunate one for
the old marquis. Besides other things
that he lacked she has a head for busi-
ness and took the management of his
property into her own hands. He was
on the point of selling the bulk of it
to his tenants, through the agency Of
the Irish land court, but she fixed up
the trouble over the rents with the re-
suit that the property has been re-
tained along with the ancient family
residence, Chichester castle. 1t is un-
derstood that when the conventional
period of mourning expires the young
marchioness will take town house
and enter society, in which, with her
youth, vivacity ambition and good
looks she is likely to make something
of a stir.

IS MODEL FOR A SCULPTOR
M. Rodn Asks Young American Athlete to Pose for
Marble Statue

Rodin at the way the young American
has "stuck" to this somewhat tedious
business that the sculptor desires to
give him a bronze cast of the figure
he is now making, and which is to be
exhibited at the st. Louis exhibition.
Since first posing for M. Rodin Mr..
White, who is much interested in art,
has made a tour of the world, starting
from Paris. In Japan especially his
beautiful figure attracted tremendous
admiration.
Although acknowledging that posing
is firing work, Mr.. White finds much
pleasure in being in M. Robins studio,
where he says the master himself
works very hard. He models first in
clay, altering frequently, both by add
ing and taking away. Mr.. White also
is much impressed with Robins child
like maner.
Rodin being at the moment out Of
France while placing his works in diff
ferent exhibitions, Mr.. White is taking
this opportunity to leave Paris for a
short tour in Spain. He intends Wis
iting Madrid, Toledo, Cordova and Sc
vile. Before long, however, both the
sculptor and his amateur model ex-
pect to be back in Paris again and
working in the atelier.

ID ARIS, June 11.-Samuel S. White,
u a young American athlete whose
perfect physical development recently
led Rodin, the world famous French
sculptor, to ask permission to repro
duce his frame in marble. Naturally
the request did not have to be made a
second time. Mr.. White halls from
Philadelphia, and came to Paris about
two years ago for the purpose Of
studying chemistry. Previously he had
been at Princetown university, and
later a student at Trinity Hall, Cam
bridge university, England. Physical
culture has a great charm for Mr..
White who goes in for it rather strong
ly. In November, 1893, he was the
winner of the shadow medal for physi-
cal culture. 1t was when first In Paris
two years ago that M. Rodin compli-
mented Mr.. White upon his beautiful
figure, and eventually asked him to be
his model, with the result that almost
at once Mr.. White gave up a good deal
of his time to posing in Robins studio.

Young Wilson viii Marry the Sister of the Duke

I ONDON, June 11.-Society is well
pleased with the engagement
which has just been announced of
Lady Isabel Innes-Ker, a sister of the
Duke of Roxburgher to Guy Wilson
second son of Charles Wilson, Of

rich in the steamship business. Lady
Isabel, while possessing a title in her

a very wealthy man some day. The
match is therefore regarded as an
equable one for much the same rea-

Special Foreign Service
ONDON, June 11.-Society here
IL feels assured that it will not be
so very long before the young and
beautiful transatlantic Marchioness of
Donegal furnishes an interesting sequel
to the striking romance of her late
husband, who died recently in his
eighty second year, leaving her with
an only son seven months old, who en-
joys the distinction of being by long
way the youngest marquis in Great
Britain. Blessed as she is with youth
and good looks, prophets of Mayfair
expect that the marchioness will make
a second match of great brilliancy and
say it will not again take the form of
a wedding between May and December.
She was Miss Gertrude Violet Twin
ing, of Halifax, Nova Scotia, and an
orphan, when, in December, 1902, she
married the Marquis of Donegal, whose
family motto it is interesting to note,
is honor follows though unsought."
She was twenty-five then and he was
verging on eighty. She was reputed to
have snug little fortune. He was
short of cash and his Irish estates were
much involved, but he was rich in
titles. In addition to being the Mar
quis of Donegal, he was Hereditary
Lord High Admiral Of Lough Neagh,
Governor of Carrickfergus Castle, Wis
count Chichester and Earl of Belfast,
which made him a lord several times
over. So, despite the disparity of fif-
ty-eight years in their ages it was re-
garded as an eminently appropriate
and equable match in aristocratice
cles.
1t was the marquis third matrimo-
nial venture. His first wife-a Miss
Oliver, daughter of Henry Holt Oliver,
Of Western Priory, Somerset-he mar
