The McCook tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 1886-1936, 1906-03-09

short time ago the marital troubleS OF
the Count and Countess de PerigOrd
were aired in the public press. The
Countess de Perigord was Miss Helen
Morton, and her father, Levi 2. Nor
ton, has been minister to France, vice
president of the United States II gov
ernor of the state of New York. The
marriage of Miss Morton to the scion
Of an ancient and noble French house
was one of the chief matrimonial
events of the autumn of 1901. The sup
posed happy pair went to France to
live, and with Mr.. MOrton's money the
count purchased the dc Chateau de
Vaiencay and assumed the title of Due
de Valencay, his bride becoming a
duchess. But if ever true happiness
was the lot of this presumably fortu-
nate pair it was shortlived.
The Chateau de Valencay is said to
have cost about $500, 900. The demands
Of the duke Upon the fortune of his IA
ther-in-law caused the young wife
much embarrassment, and finally she
found life with him unbearable and re-
turned to her fathers home.
Another international match that
turned out %unhappily was that of Miss
| Sarah Phelps Stokes, daughter Of An
| son Phelps Stokes and heiress to $1O,-
100000, who married in 1890 Baron
Hugh Colin Gustave George Halkett,
scion Of q Scottish family dating back
to the time when Scotland had its W
kings and wars with England were the
customary thing. She left him in 1875
and obtained a divorce on the ground
Of cruelty and unfaithfulness and tes'
titled in her suit that the baron had
kicked her and otherwise subjected hel
to i'll treatmnt.
The marriage of Miss Mary Wheeler
daughter of the late Charles Wheeler OF
Philadelphia. to Count Macmillan Pap
penheim Of Bavaria was a notable
function Of 1890. The couple were moi
happy, and three years after their mar
rage the countess secured a divorce.

A FUNERAL.
C~erer-onies with Which a Body Is
Consigned to the rave.

When the life of a Mohammedan Is
ebbing away a distinguished reader OF
the Koran Is summoned to recite aloud
it's chapter on the resurrection, SO that
the spirit of the person, on hearing 1t,
may have an easy death. The Mo-
hammedan believes that the vital prin-
ciples of the whole system are concen-
trated il the head, when death is the
result. The watchers at the bedside
also read some passages, and then Il
drink of sherbet is given to he pa
tent to lessen the pangs of death. AS
soon as the spark of life has fled, the
two great toes are tied together with
q thin strip of cloth, the mouth is
closed, and incense is burned near he
body.
The interment follows a few hou
after death. The washers" are men
and women who wash and shroud the
body and dig Il hole i'll the earth to
hold the water, so that it cannot spread
very much, as it is considered unlucky
to tread on this water. The washing IS
q great ceremony, and when finished
the body is shrouded with even more
ceremony. If there is a widow OF the
deceased, she returns the dowry her
husband had given her. If the deceas-
eds mother is present, Il says, The
milk with which | sucked thee l freely
bestow upon thee" Thus she resigns
the Gebt of the deceased to her. When
flowers have been placed on h body
I it is carried to the grave on a bier or,
if the relatives can afford it, in a COT
fin. At the grave four creeds are re-
cited, and the body, with the head to
the north and the face looking toward
Mecca, is laid on its back in its tomb.
The grave is about seven feet long fer
both sexes, but the depth for Il man IS
| measured by the distance between his
feet and chest; for a woman, between
her feet and waist. If he body is too
long for the grave, it is believed that
the deceased must nave been a great
sinner.
Before the body is covered the Mo
hammedan takes a little earth and,
throwing it into the grave, says, I'VE
created YOU of earth, and we return
YOU to the earth, and we shall raise
YOU out of the earth on the day Of resur-
rectiOn." Then a mound is built to
keep the earth in the grave from crush
ing the body, and water is sprinkled
on it in three lines. Special prayers tol
the safe voyage of the deceased are Of
fered after the burial. AS in the case
of a Hindoo funeral, the poor are not
forgotten, both remembering the needy
by distributing money, salt, rice and
wheat among them after the funeral.

of the Countess Castellane has attract
ed a great deal Of attention.
The count came to this country about
a dozen years ago and at once began
paying attentions to various members
of the Newport set. He was rebuffed
by Miss Virginia Fair, who later be-
came Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt. Jr..
and by Miss ConsuelO Vanderbilt. who
is now the Duchess Of Marlborough.
There were plenty of ambitious nam
mas who regarded the count and his
title with favor. however, and on
Christmas eve Of 1894 he gave a party
to which several members Of the Gould
family were invited. 1t was then h Il
he first met Miss Anna. and he was not
long in developing an admiration for
the daughter of Jay Gould. The court
ship was a brief one. and In about six
weeks from the time of their first

meeting their engagement was an
nounced. The marriage took place at
the residence Of the brides eldest
brother, George j. Gould, on Fifth
e OH March Z, 1895, and the Of
floating clergyman was the late Arch
bishop COrrtgan. There was also a
civil ceremony before a judge. Inc
wedding was one of the most imp0s-
ing ceremonies of the kind ever wit
messed in this country. AS o as the
count and his bride reached Paris they
began spending the fortune of about
$~1S.OO0,000 which Jay Gould left his
Younger daughter. The income from
her share of the estate was 100000.
but this proved insufficient to pay the
bills incurred by the count. For his
home in Paris he built a palace repro
ducing i'll most respects the amou
grand Trianon at Versailles. The ball
room of the palace. considered the most
regal apartment in France, is built en-
tirely of Parian marble and is finished
in gold. The whole palace is said to
have cost about S3,000,O00. The count
! gave a housewarming that cost SlOO.-
900. He spent several hundred thou
sand dollars for yachts, bought a So
600 coat which he wore once n then
threw away, spent about half a million
dollars in a canvass for Il seat in the
chamber Of deputies and lost over a
million dollars in speculation in stocks.
Five years after his marriage he had
spent 100000 and was over $4,000
900 in debt. His creditors pressed so
hard that the Goulds had to take the
matter up, and as a result a settlement
with creditors was effected, but the
count had to agree that 100000 from
his wife's income of 100000 be APP
piled annually to the extinction Of his
debts. This left the Castellanes but
100000 a year upon which to live,
Though the amount would seem ample
to many persons. it was not so in the
case of this couple, and the count has
managed to keep head over heels in
debt in spite of the efforts of the

SchIiemann's Luck.

1t is told of Schliemann, the eXhumer
of buried cities of the ancient world,
that he was pursued by i'll luck in his
earlier undertakings. Mentioning the
fact to a friend. the latter asked him
which leg and arm he first inserted in
trousers and coat. Schliemann said
he habitually inserted the right. "That
is the cause of your misfortunes," said
his friend. You have offended the
left hand fairies, and they take out
their vengeance on you. Reverse your
habit and see" And" said Schlie-
mann in telling the incident in his later
and prosperous years, you see how it
changed my luck"

A Wonderful Faculty of the Triton.

The triton, a spotted, lizardlike rep
tile found in almost every state in the
Union, has a most wonderful power of
reproducing amputated parts. Bon
not, the great French naturalist, ex-
perimented on the little creatures by
amputating their legs and tails and
by so doing found that their powers
of reproduction were almost unlimited.
In one instance an amputated leg was
reproduced twelve times in three
years, and in another an eye was
gouged out and reproduced in less
than twelve months. The loss of a tail
does not appear to discommOde a tr.-
ton except to give him a sort of IN
balanced gait. Tails clipped from the
specimens Bonnet kept to experiment
on were invariably reproduced in from
five to nine weeks.

The DOnjOn.

The donjon, or keep, Of the castle
was a tower within, much stronger
than the rest of the structure and de
signed as a last resort for the garrison
when the walls and other portions Of
the fertilization had fallen into the
hands of the enemy. The donjon was
generally provided with a secret exit,
a tunnel being constructed, often many
hundreds of yards in length, leading to
some concealed outlet through which
the besieged could receive succOr or, in
time of necessity, escape.

1t is said that the count and countess
had many stormy interviews in conse-
uuence of his eXtravagances and that
his fondness for favorites in the the
atrical world caused her no little an
noyance, but no open break between
them is known to have occurred until

N}cotiana Amnis.

Nicotiana affinis, the border flower,
which opens about 6 o'clock and gives
a powerful and pleasant fragrance dur
ing the night, takes its name from the
botanical term for the tobacco plant,
nicotiana, which was named in honor
of John Moot Of Nismes, ambassador
from the king of France to Portugal,
who procured the first seeds from a
Dutchman, who had them from Flor

Yukon Valley news., 1906-05-09
THIS PAPER AND TUE MINERS.

The Yukon Valley News has always believed that miners and all classes of workers here and elsewhere should be organized. The editor has been for many years a member of the Interna- tional Typographical Union, an organi- zation that is noted all over the world for it's strength as we'll as it's fairness in dealing with the questions that come before it. Farmers, lumbermen, fisher men-men engaged in any pursuit bet ter themselves and their communities by organizing.
 Since it first became probable that Alaska would be granted delegate in congress this paper has been doubly glad that the miners are perfecting their organizations and preparing to put candidate in the field. If for any reason they fail to put up and elect suitable man the paper believes it will be 8 misfortune to the people of the whole territory, who are mostly miners.
 This feeling on the part of the paper, however, does not muzzle it. If by his acts some authorized representative of the miners proves himself to be 8 scoundrel the paper may take occasion to say so, and back up its assertion with such proof as offers, even at the risk of mourning the displeasure of some whose friendship has been sincerely appre- ciated.
