Her Clothes the Prettiest-

Several years later I went 10 Nara
gansett. II was while there that the
people showed some disposition not TO
wish 10 know me. Why should they?
Ny father is Adolph Won Claussen. a re-
tired and wealthy sugar reiner Of New
York; my great-grandfather on my
mothers side was Matthew Byrnes. a
wealthy real estate dealer, and my great
grandmother on my fathers side was
the Countess Won ZOelHng. So 1 made
up my mind I would make them want
10 know me. and L did. II was they who
came TO me, not I who went to them.
My clothes were the prettiest at Mar
ragansett,
And that just reminds me that the
papers have been laying great stress
on the fact that I wear pretty clothes.
Well. I've got TO wear some, why not
pretty ones?

Her Romantic Life.

There is much of romance in
Mrs. Won CIaussen's life, much Of
the spirit that led her TO pack hsr
steamer trunk and cr8ss the ocean
to see the President. These incl
dents and the varying moods that
have been apparent in her actions
during her short stay in Washing
ton are accounted for in the strange
conditions of her life and the tenn
permanent Of Mrs. Won Claussen. All
these are best explained by Mrs.
Won Claussen herself, who talked
enteTtainingly about her life to a
reporter for The Times.

vorced. His name is William Francis

some months afterward my own little

ever, were deceiving IN that forty-two cars
out OF this number were through stun belng

the market opened there were actually only

Killers, but as is usual when there are quite

CATTLE-The receipts OF cattle this
morning were the largest that they have
been in a long time. The recovery Of the
market last week under the influence Of
very light receipts seemed TO encourage
the country to send in liberal supplies.
Although market reports had generally
cautioned the country against oNersupply-
ing the market at this Tina, when eastern
markets are pretty badly glutted. still
every one seemed TO feel that prices were
high and that he would be the only one TO
send in cattle. The result was that the
yards were filled full
Late trains and a disposition on the part
Of buyers to go slow until they were well
kets caused the trade here TO start out
very slow and II was late before any thing
Of consequence was done. Sellers were de-
termined 10 maintain the market Just as
far Is poss Bile, so when buyers started out
bidding lower there was no disposition TO
cut loose very freely.
The first cattle TO sell were stockers and
feeders, of which there was a liberal sup
ply in the yards Spectators were all well
cleaned out last week and they all APP
peared TO want additional supplies with the
result that good feeders especially were in
steady prices. Common and inferior grades
We're generally neglected and holders OF
such found IL slow work unloading
When the market on killers finally opened
beef steers sold generally on the basis Of
fully Ice lower. Possibly some Of the most
desirable kinds that just happened TO suit q
buyers order may not have been that much
lower. but. on the other hand, there were
some of the less desirable kinds that sold
more than l0c lower.
Cows and heifers suffered still more de-
cline than steers the market being fully
lO6Tl5c lower. Ii was estimated that there
were over 100 cars Of COW stun on sale.

Corn was firm all day on lively bidding by

Of $1,000. and approprieting $4,000 for the
