Van Aliens.

Van Aliens.
Mr.. Van Allen was obdurate and, al
though his daughter declared she
would marry him ard nobody else. she
was whisked OFF to Europe in the hope
that she would forget him. Instead,
he followed. and she laid such siege
to her father that he looked on it
with a little more favor She returned
home, where she exercised the grand
coup and won over her grandmother,
Mrs. William Astor She also Joined
the Roman church. Finally, one day,
with bad grace ana perhaps because
he had to, but none the less because
he was managed. James Van Allen cap
itulated
1t was not, however, until the day
of the marriage, when he reluctantly
gave the bride away at civil mar
riage in the drawing-room of a hotel
None OF Mr.. Golfers family was pres
ent, and Immediately afterwards a sec
ond marriage took place at st. Marys
Roman Catholic church, at which Mr..
Golfers parents were present and Mr..
Van Allen remained away.
Charles Oelrichs' Surrender.
Charles Oelrichs was forced to give
in in much the same way to his daugh-
ter Lily when she became Mrs. Peter
ID. Martin. He. contrary to the other
papas, had marked her out for a titled
Englishman. But she took desperate
fancy to the young Californian, who.
although he had some wealth and posi-
tion in the western state, had only re-
Gently acquired it.
Miss Lily. who is a beautiful blonde
announced from the first that she in
tended to marry Mr.. Martin, but her
parents tried the same tactics of freez-
ing out that had prevailed at Papa Van
Aliens. Three times the engagement
was announced. and twice the we'd
ding day was set, and then 1t was
postponed, and young Mr.. Martin
returned to California. But at last
they had to give In to Miss Lily, and
the ceremony, postponed once more
for n week, finally came Off But
through it all Charles Oelrichs never
acted ugly.
Romances Without Opposition.
or course when Miss Frederick Webb
married Ralph Pulitzer, and when Miss
Caroline Phelps Stokes married Rob-
ert Hunter they did not at first re-
ceive much opposition, as they had diff
ferent parental material to deal with.
DR.. Steward Webb always has been
noted for his progressiveness, and he
and his daughter Frederica always
have held the same ideas as to the
uses of money in the world, SO that
marrying fortune was not consid-
cred great point with them.
Andrew Carnegie is another whose
little girl, il she grows up to be
willful young lady, will not lack for
the support of the man with millions.
let her do what she will-or at least
so all would believe who remember
how loyalty he came to the support Of
his favorite niece, Miss Nancy Car
negie. when everybody in her family
was against her.

In Affairs of the Heart, Wealthy Papas Seem to Have

If mislionaires are managed by no
one else in The worli /, they are at least
managed by their daughters. In an
analysis which turns the limelight
upoI. all the ways of the extremely
rich man, from his early beginnings.
10 his eating and drinking, his dress
and appearance his work and recrea-
lion. his words and probable thoughts,
there is probably only one person of
all those TO whom he is a continual
show and study, to whom he is not for
midable.
This person is his daughter.
When 1t was said that "a little child
shall lead them" II should have been
said that a beruffied and befurbelowed
grown-up daughter, with pink tinted
Rpsers, shining and waving tresses,
and all the complexities that go to
make up the daughters as well as the
little sisters of the rich, shall lead
them.
The millionaire may guard himself
with his millions, may iintrench him
self from the long arm of the law,
may be silent, uuapproachable, and
impervious to questioning, investiga-
uon or attack, but all of a sudden
some day he will be turned into a soft
hearted creature who does not what
he would, but what he must, and does
1t with the best grace possible. All
this is because his pretty daughter, at
some particular crisis in her life, sud
denly has taken It into her pretty
head to do as she pleases, either with
Or without Papa Millionaires consent,
as the case may be.
The way he stands for her and what
She does or plays the opposite part is
a final test of his character in the
hearts of many people, and one which
throws revealing light upon his true
self, although it is one which seems
to be lost sight of by G. r. Clarke,
Owen SWEET Marsden, and other mil
ionaire students ami experts.
Case of Wilhelmina Busch.
Whatever may have been the eccen-
tricities covered either in herself or
her lover by the arrangements which
Papa Millionaire Busch made in order
to wed Miss Wilhelmina Busch proper
ly and conventionally to Lieut. Schar-
rer, nobody could doubt that in every
thing he showed first, last, and alto
gether, that the love he bore his daugh-

seen delay, and the sailing had to be
postponed until Saturday. She was
detained in Paris and missed the boat,
and when she arrived in London the
duke insisted on going to Tanderagee
castle. This was not according to the
agreement, but the girl was again
persuaded, the aunt and guardian
again going along. or course, the
Tanderagee trip made the announce
ment OF the wedding necessary, and
then 1t was that the messages were
cabled back and forth, the newspapers
asserting and Papa Zimmerman deny

received was a cable saying that 1t was
all true, and asking his blessing.

up the side of the st. Louis when the
vessel arrived. He entered the state
room, in the ceneir of which stood
his daughter with the duke by her
side. He kissed her with a certain
apparent dimness and moisture in his
eyes, and then shook hands with the
duke.
Congratulations, sincere congratula-
tions," he said, "and welcome home. "
Everybody knows how he has taken
hold of the task laid out for him
since; how he has tried to make a
business man out Of his son-in-law;
how he has turned over millions TO
redeem the dukes estate; how every
thing that is in his power is done for
the happiness of his daughter; and
how he is working uight and day that

Frank Work and His Daughter.
1t was years ago when the million
aire, Frank Work, began to play the
same role for his adughter and Eng
lish son-in-law. 1t was in 1881 that a
tall, handsome youn., man visited New
York and laid siege to his beautiful
daughter. The father opposed the
match with all his might, but they
were married and went to London. 1t
was only a little while after that
Mr.. Work was sending them $1,000 a
year TO live on. A little later he in
creased it to $4,000 Then he cut off
all allowances. He said his daughter
had married man who never could
or never would make living, and that
he was tired of furnishing allowances
and paying bills at the same time.
With the "wherewithaI cut off. Mrs.
Burke Roche soon returned with her
children. She went straight to the
house on Twenty-sixth street. In
1891 she obtained a divorce from her
husband in Delaware, and ever since
has been living at her fathers house
as its beautiful mistress. AS has late
ly come forth, she has had little spoiled
ways of her own ever since which
were not exactly in accord with the
fussy notions of an old man. He has
flown into rage at her more than
once, which is not anything remark
able when it is considered that he is
81 years old. But she is her fathers
daughter, and, moreover, she is not in
the least afraid that he means 1t, and
she knows exactly how to manage
him. So. when he reprimanded her
for having her luncheon served on &
little tray in the parlor, she ordered
her maid to pack up her trunks ana
remove to the Buckingham. A pretty
bluff, wasn't it, when 1t is considered
that all his daughters means of liv-
ing ia the 100000 which he allows her
year.
But she knew exactly how to man
age her father, who Is given to imag-
lining things-so say her sons-snd it
was only short time until he was
denying the rumors that were flying
about that he had diisinherlted her,

Ger was the kind which makes her mis-
fortunes into triumphs-the only kind
worth while to woman.
At first Papa Busch frowned on the
young German ofiicer-as suitor, that
is. But in the role of an indulgent
father he did not object to his coming
to the house, and from there they went
riding and driving every day. Then
came the attempted elopement and its
fasco, after which the Busch mansion
was called up by telephone. In the
facs OF so fiagrant disregard of his
wishes and the failure of his little
schepe of letting the matter wear it

AS result of this meeting and
of a number of personal interviews
since then, P. E. & W. 8. Sharp
less Co. will establish a milk con-
densing plant in Rising Sun. The
site has been obtained from DIR. G.
.. Dare and the plant will be locat-
ed along the railroad adjoining
Biles & Cameron's warehouse.
Building operations will commence
at once and the plant is expected
to be in operation by July LIST.
Messrs Sharpless state that assur-
ances have been received of suffic-
lent milk to make the location of
the plant here a success. The es-
ablishment will embrace, beside
the milk condensing plant, a com
plete butter making equipment and
an ice making and refrigerating de-
partment. Several innovations
will be introduced, among which
will be the furnishing and washing
of all the milk cans by the COM
pany. 1t is believed that the en-
larged opportunities offered by this
new industry will result in giving
quite an impetus to dairying in this
section.
Mr.. Joseph 7. Riale, who for
years has operated creamery here
has associated himself with the
Sharpless Company and will use
his energies and efforts in behalf of
the new project.
