for saying that the maria ge would

Senator Davis plans, 1t is understood.
to take his bride to Palm Beach for
honeymoon. and 1t Is further under
stood that he will settle upon her at
the time OF their marriage the sum of
s1.000.OO0, In consideration for which
she will waive all her dover right.
One Of the Senator's daughters. Mrs.
Stephen B. Elkins. wife OF the Senator
from West Virginia, still denies the
engagement OF her father to Miss Ash
ford, in consequence OF which some OF
her friends think that the Senator Is
keeping his family In ignorance OF
his Intended plans.
Miss Ashford has long been a friend
Of Mrs. Arthur Leo, another daughter
Of Senator Davis, and has often visited
hor at her country place, Gracelands,
in West Virginia. She was a guest
there last summer, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Lee used frequently to take trips away
