treasures, which he has been accumu-
lating in London, to this country. Mr..
Morgan heretofore has been unwilling
to pay the high duty required on such
a collection, which has been valued att

value on Mr.. Morgan's things. but with
his great wealth he can claim no great
sympathy on that score. The coilec-

The Counts demand of $4,000 annual
ly for his support was refused; even the
$4,000 which the Countess herself Of
fered to settle upon her unworthy hus-
band was debarred him by the court on |
the ground that the guilty party in al
