The Italian government has applied to the British foreign office for the papers relating to a case in which J. Pierpont Morgan was swindled out of &15O,O0O by means of forgeries alleged to have been committed by an Italian count. The forgeries were committed three years ago. The counts hat and coat were found on the deck of a Channel steamer, giving rise to the belief that he had committed suicide. It was reported later, however, that he had been seen in Egypt. Apparent ly the Italian authorities have now lo- cated him, but the impression exists in London that any prosecution is likely

The marriage ceremony which was
performed in the magnificent man
sion that had been erected and furn-
ished by the dead magnate, was
witnessed by two or three individu-
ais through whom the news gradual
" became rumored abroad. In
few hours the whole affair had been
unearthed and all America was
agog.
Concerning the vast Yerkes for
tune and the Yerkes widow, the
young hopeful was not aveTse TO
talking. As soon az he was ques-
toned as to tho authenticity of the
wedding rumor=. he admitted that
he was the happy man, and that the
ceremony had taken place in secrecy
because Mrs. Yerkes desired to
avoid notoriety. This interview was
given out by Miner at the Astor
Hotel, while at the same time MIS-.
Miner, formerly drs. YeTkes, was
vigorously denying the allegation
at the Fifth avenue home, declaring
that the idea wa simply absurd.
This lack of concerted action on the
part OF Mrs Miner and Mrs. Miz-
ner's husband brought about that
nOtoriety which she was end avoT-
ing to avoid a simple news item
became a mystery and would-be
sleuths set about to ferret out some
deep-laid scheme to blackmail the
wealthy widow Charles b. YeTkes,
Of Chicago. a stepson of Mrs.
Miner, declared that the
matter was an inexpIicable plot of
a band of adventurers, and to bear
out the truth of his surmise, he
showed telegram from his step
mother, in which she stated that the
report of her marriage was ridicu-
lous. So strenuous was the tone Of
these denials that those who had put
in circulation the report of the mar
riage began to prepare for libel
suits. and it would not have been
surprising If even Miner had asked
himself, Am I asleep or am 1
dreaming?" But the minister who
performed the ceremony assured
the young man that his memory
was not treacherous, and that be-
yond the shadow of doubt he was
a Benedict.
Posthaste from the Astor Hotel
coursed the young Californian to
the Fifth avenue palace. What
means this strange disavowal of the
holy ties of matrimony? A council
of state is called in the Yerkes
apartments. There is a silence of
some duration while the public is
on the qui vive for some new and
sensational disclosure. Expectancy
is in the air. viii there be muffed
execrations. or will there be vain
pleadings on the part of the young
man who has dared to link his name
with the bereaved widow? VIII he
be allowed to go his way in peace
or will he be elected with violence
and turned over to the police as Z
detractor and an impostor? VIII
this very impertinent young man
escape with a motherly bit of ad-
vice, or viii he be the recipient oi
bitter denunciation?

alien territory. The young
Lochinvar of the Pacific
who once brayed the rigors of
an Arctic winter and snatched
the yellow metal from the fToz-
en- lockers of the icy Yukon, has
now invaded the confines of Fifth
avenue, New York, and has stormed
the stronghold of a woman's heart
In the one case, it was the intrepid
explorer and adventurer who reaped
the golden harvest. In the other
il was the mastCrfuI Apollo who won
the day. In the first instance he
enjoyed the fruits OF his own labor
The second marks wonderful ad-
vance in his ideas Of high finance;
like his cOnfreres in the multi-mil-
Honaires' club, he has seen the eT-
ror of his ways, and now enjoys
the fruits of the labOTs Of others.
The goddesses of Chance and Good
Luck seemed 10 have formed Goa
Ttion at the christening Of Wilson
Miner twenty-nine years ago, for
haDny circumstance has been in at
tendance wherever whim has led
him. The booImakers have cashed
his tickets, his fOuT-fushes have
proven e-~cessful in the bluff, his
side bets have been fOTtuitOus, and
the story comes from Colorado that
he was even more successful than
he can now wish, in winning the
heart of a mountain beauty. And
now the Millionaire Yerkes' funeral
baked meats have coldly furnished
forth the marriage tables of the
young Hyperion who reaps where
another has sown.
With a daring and aplomb which
startled the public, young Miner
has stepped into another mans
shoes and is bearing up under the
notoriety with the sang-frOid of one
who sIaps convention in the face and
cries. Go to, I am a social law unto
myself" He has ridden roughshod
over the dictates of common usage
and has lei to the altar widow
of a month and a day.
With Kaleidoscope rapidity has
scene upon scene been enacted in
the past few days by those of the
Yerkes name. On December %,
1905, Charles T. Yerkes, ex-convict,
multi-millionaire, donor Of the fam
Gus Yerl1es telescope and the
worlds traction king. died in lux
urious apartments at the Waldorf
Astoria Hotel in New York. while
his wife sat calmly in the adjoining
room, having refused up to the very
end to look upon the face OF the hus-
band whom she despised. On Janu.
airy so, 1906, she became the wife oI
Wilson Miner, famous ciubman
horseman, and man-about-town

yesterday become the bridal veil AM

What delicious morsels thes
events have been for the gossipin
tongues! But they were as unsay

he invites the news-yendors into his
sanctum. Surely the outward calm
of this young man must conceal d
very much perturbed spirit. But
again our deductions are in error.
This handsome young Westerner
is really monarch of all he surveys.
He has convinced the lady OF the
house that her denial Of their mar
riage is annoying to him, and she
must perforce admit that she has
been in error, and that she is really
his true and loving wife. The repre-
seDtatives Of q curious public are
invited to the inner court OF the
luxurious mansion. This masterful
Petruchio has entirely tanned the
modern Katherine, as fully demon
strated by the fact that she immedi-
ately answers his bird-like call by
appearing on the balcony above the
court. At a signal she declares IN
words as though it were lesson
learned by rote, that she is Wilson
MINERS lawful, welded wife, whom
she will ever after love, honor, and

and a gentle bit of raillery at the
newspaper lack of reverence for
years, she retires 10 the privacy Of
her boudoir to await the coming of
her lord, while with a courty sweep
the new-made millionaire conducts
the peoples proxies to the door and
bids them a very cordial farewell.

Ghe ladies Of the Progressive Culture
Clue feel very much elated at securing
the 'Singin' Skule Beginment" for
so early q production as March 3Oth as
the entertainment has become so popu-
lar and is so much in demand in all
parts of the country that dates have to
be secured far in advance in order to
get it at all. Five conductors are kept
constnatly busy directing the perform
2nces in different sections of the coun
try and two booking Offices, one at
Memphis and the other at Indianapolis,
keep a large force busy attending to
the bookings. Messrs. Bertram and
Willard, the authors, have been secur-
ed to direct the performance here and
to play their two character parts of
Mister and Mistus Robbins, thus giving
Paris the very best production of all of
their combinations. A large cast of
local talent will assist them and the
ladies confidently expect this to be one
of the finest aaffirs that has been pre-
scented along this line.

WILL BENEFIT BOURBON HOME
TELEPHONE COMPANY.

The Central Home Telephone Com
pany, a 100000 corporation, has
been organized and merged fifteen or
twenty independent telephone systems
in Kentucky and Southern Indiana.
The Home Telephone Company of Paris
is among the number. We asked the
President, Mr.. J. T. Hinton, how this
would effect the local company and he
replied: There will be no change in
the present management at all, and the
stock will still be owned by our citi-
zens. The only object in view is to
perfect the service of the independent
telephone companies in the State. By
merging with these other companies
our long distance connections will be as
good as can be had and our service will
be as near perfect as possible. For
our company it will be just what it has
needed and when all arrangements have
been completed our subscribers will
reap the benfts. Mr. Clarence L. Hum
bert, the present local manager, will
be at the head of the new system in all
neighboring counties in this part Of
Kentucky, and you can tell the sub
scribers to the Bourbon Home that the
merge only menas better service in
every way.
