Mrs. Plat After Big Money-He
Says She Loves an Expressman.

New York, Oct. 2.-The World says:
Married life of United States Senator
Thomas c. Plat and wife, formerly
Mrs. Lillian Janeway, is about to end
in divorce. Mrs. Platt's preparations
have reached the point where she may
strike the first blow. While the senator
has hesitated about bringing suit, ii
has been known for weeks that Mrs.
Plat has been seeking advice of coun-
sci regarding the proposed action for
divorce. Rumor has been persistent
that the suit has already been brought.
In the case, if brought, would be a well
known actress, a favorite in vaudeville,
who sprang into fame by virtue of her
co~nspicuously beautiful figure in the
days of living pictures. This actress,
Mrs. Platt alleges, has been a fire.
quent visitor at the senator's office.
Friends of the family do not hest
tate to assert the belief that Mrs.
Platt's suit is brought with the hope
of effecting a settlement for a large
amount. Figuring co~nspicuously in the
domestic troubles-of Platt-is-J-K.
Hedges, formerly an express wagon
driver, young and moderately good
looking. Through Mrs. Platt's influ-
ence he was made head coachman at
Senator Platt's country farm at High

Mrs. Plat and Hedges has long been
a matter of village gossip at Highland
Mills. When Plat, Mrs. Plat and par
ty made a recent transcontlnental trip
to San Francisco, Coachman Hedges
went along, not as a servant but as a
guest.

AN AMERICAN aURENf
some Day Royalty May Make Some
New World Daughter q Conaort.

sSms Day Royalty Mar Malrs aoua
New World Daughter a COnsort.
There are 1872 American women In
the ~aristocratic circles Of England and
se~Venty-eight in France" says the Rev.
DR.. Daniel II. Martin Of Newark. "I
am looking forward to seeing an
American girl on a European throne.
Why notP' Why not, indeed. Ameri-
ca has sent Il "vicereine' TO India. and
to England several women who. as
the helpmates of dukes, have the privi-
lege OF being addressed by Edward as
MS rightly trusty cousins" says the
New York Mail. Indeed, the Empress
Josephine, the spouse Of the most DOW
erful European monarch since Charlie
magne, was an American in the sense
that she was a native Of a new world
island. If rumor is correct, the young
crown prince Of Germany lost his
heart to a. charming American girl be-
fore he found it again In a German
princess Of the blood.
That sort Of thing is always hap
pening In the Ruritana Of the romantic
~hctionists. One Of these days 1t will
happen In real life. The prince who
comes a-woolng will be no Cophetua
enamored of a beggar maiden with a
paltry pittance Of ten thousand a year.
Royalty will drop its handkerchief at
the feet OF some multlmillionaire's
daughter, and the precedent of nearly
500 of her American sisters wearing
titles abroad argues that she will nick
1t up. Her fortune will rehabilitate
the estate Of her suitor and the reve-
nues OF his realm. Then there will be
an American queen, who has come by
her titles in better fashion than any
silly daughter of the -crowniIwho
traces her descent by the backstalrs
route to the c%onqueror or his progeny.
Peasant blood Is strong in the Balk-
an dynasties. There is a double infu-
sion Of 1t In the Romanoff line. II
now and then a European sovelegn
has found a way to wed a daughter Of
his people, oOn or later a way will
be found to annex an American heir
ess, and 1t will be as much easier as
1t Is for a self-made American than a
self-made Engllshman or German to
gain a royal audience. What effect
such a match would have on American
social life need not be considered, I'M
til the match Is made. But 1t will be
a splendid thing for the royal princes
and for the future Of their stock.
They are all so lntermarrled and In
ter-related that the advent Of a bride
who is a positively new factor should
suffice to make their blase highnesses
sit up with real attention. For the
good Of their offspring the infusion Of
a little fresh American blood should
be welcomed. The various royal and
imperial stocks threaten to deteriorate
and die out altogether through repeat
ed inbreeding. In the old days this
tendency was corrected by the occa-
sional introduction of new blood that
was no less vigorous because illegiti.
mate. Recruiting from that source is
not so easy now, and the rights Of fu-
ture generations simply clamor for n
new deal in the line Of blood. If the
dynasties will go back ten centuries
they will find their founders picking
and choosing humber helpmeets than
the new worlds daughters.
