ried a woman of title. Miss Edith
Van Buren,, who was a grandniece OF
President Van Buren,, married the
Count de Castelmenardo OF Italy, and
was badly treated by him.
Other cases turned out better; the
early ones apparently more often
than those of recent happening. Thus
the daughter of Preston King married
the French minister, Waddington. Her
memoirs. which have just been pub
lished, reveal a happy life spent in high
places, vexed by nobler cares than
trouble the titled do-nothings who
seem preferred by so many silly girls
nowadays
To this latter class belong the Prince
Rospigliosi, whose noble family have
made miserable the life in Rome OF the
former Miss Marie Reid of New Or
leans; the Baron Won Schellendorf,
who took his Cincinnati bride to Ger
man East Africa and tortured her by
drunken attentions to dusky rivals; the
Baron Halkett, whose American wife
is now a hermit in the Adirondacks ;

was backed by a marriage syndicate in
his campaign for the hand of Miss

In spite Of the marriage last winter

Gabe Case was the founder in this
section of the practice of setting up a
magnum of champagne for the first
driver - amateur, of course who
reached his hotel in sleigh or cutter
and upon runners each autumn. The
magnum was always taken after a
fierce struggle on perhaps a quarter
inch OF rapidly fading snow. and OF
course it brought to the hotel enough
custom to more than compensate for
hotel keepers copied the idea One
man in Yonkers used to set up wine
for the first bicyclist to reach his place
every year Result a race beginning at
one minute after midnight between so
or more hooting scorchers, making
night hideous, and sometimes pedaled
through six inches of snow After the
winner got his supplies, the others still
had a thirst to assuage.
Thirteen years ago Case moved for
the third or fourth time to McGown's
Pass tavern in Central park.
Gov. Flower and his staff had
festive dinner there. In his
day Case knew well Robert Bonner,
w. H., w. X. and Commodore" Van
derbilt: the Jeromes, the Works and
other people who loved horses because
they were horses.

head has been governor of New York
and vice president of the United States.
Its wealth is ample, its country estate
at Ellerslie on the Hudson one of the
finest in the country, Mr.. Morton him
self is in feeble health and old. He Is
broken by the sorrow Of his second
daughters death, which came almost at
the same time as the final news of the
irrevocable parting OF the Valencays
One of Napoleons plain-spoken
marshals described Talleyrand as a
"shovelful of mud in a silk stock
ing" The description would fit
some of Talleyrand's distant rel
atives of to-day. The man who mar
ried Miss Morton is fully named the
count of Talleyrand-Perig The du-
cal title of Valencay came from Mr..
Morton; at any rate, his money to the
tune of 100000 bought the ducal
chateau, and that may or may not car
ry the higher title. That point is dis
puted.
