am pursuing Miss Thaw for her for tune. It is an injustice to Miss Thaw" Announcement of the engagement was made from Washington on Febru- | ary r.. 1903. Directly afterward Mrs. i Thaw closed her Washington house and left for Florida. ending the series of festivities that had been going on | for some time in the capital. At that ! time no date vas set for the we'd ding.
 | Until that ceremony was completed in Pittsburg some time after there was a big crop of rumors. Decidedly it was unfair to suggest that the earl was marrying Miss Thaw for her money. in view of his own denial. but there seemed to be a great deal of money talk being done. For instance, one dispatch in March represented i lawyer for the earl as appealing to Mrs. Thaw to let her daughter have a bigger allowance than s25.O0O a year. and adding that when that plea failed il was said that the engagement was off. Later on it was announced that Mrs. Thaw had settled on her daugh- ter sum that would make her in- come S100,O00 a year.
 Mrs. Thaw later issued a statement saying that all the talk about money was untrue, that her daughter had a certain fixed sum in cash from her fathers estate, and more coming, and that some of her money had been placed with a trust company for the nf ha ar1 nition of the place they were to oc- cupy. Mrs Thaw said that the earl had made no paint of money matters. That was late in April. It was around the first of May that some one. not the earl settled up his debts in New port, which were not small.
 The wedding was put off several times. supposedly to admit of persons being present who after all never did get there The ceremony was per formed on April 27. in Pittsburg, in stead of Washington, as had been planned. It is noted that in the de- scription of the ceremony there is mention of A. D. James of London, a friend of the bridegroom. A writ for debt of about $1 300 was served on the earl just before the ceremony. 'I sup pose they sent that here because they understood a settlement was to be made today" said the earl.
 It was not long after the ceremony that it began to be talked about that proceedings had been delayed by the earl and his friend. A. D. James. wno proved to be a lawyer. whether of the earl or for his creditors it was not made clear It was said that the earl demanded S10.00O a year for himself, double what had been agreed upon, and that the entire fortune of Miss Thaw should go to the Hertford es tates upon her death without children. MT. James refused to let the ceremony go on until certain papers were sign ed. which papers he had with him. It was said that the sum of Sl00.0OO was to be paid down as soon as the cere- mony was ended. IL was also made clear that there was q furious disa- sreement between the earl and Harry Thaw. The earl refused, according to the report. to go on with the cere- mony. and pointed out what a scandal there would be if Nit were not held. It was reported that Benjamin Thaw pleaded with his sister not to marry the earl, and that when she persisted

THE ODD CAREER OF
 HE ACT0R. EARL
Alice Thaw's Titled Husband Has
 Had Many CaIIings.


 It is just another trouble added to the many of the Thaw family of Pitts burg that has been made public through the reported intention of the Countess of Yarmouth, who was Alice COrnelia Thaw, to sue to have her marriage to the Earl of Yarmouth an- nulled. To judge by the results, the union has been from the beginning as unhappy as Benjamin Thaw. the head of the Pittsburg family, dreaded that it might be. He is the half brother of the countess. Mrs. Mary Thaw. the second wife of Benjamin. Thaw's fath- CT, was as bitterly opposed from the first to her daughters wedding.
 ln-pOint of fact, apparently the only persons eager for it were the earl per haps because of the financial gain that it would be to him, and Miss ThaW
 When the earl, as Eric Hope his stage name, sued the Morning Tele- graph in this city for libel seven years ago, getting a judgment from that pa per. much of his past history came out. The answer to his complaint set forth that he had travelled in Australia acting as a woman ballet dancer, with face, arms, and breast pain&ed, and made up as to voice and manner so as to give rather more than a cobra ble imitation of a chorus woman. At the time of that trial newspaper clip pings were put in evidence that told of the exploits of the titled young per son appearing at a charity perform ance in Australia in that guise. It was also put in the answer that Queen Victoria was greatly incensed when she learned that the earl had been re- ceiVed at the government house in Tasmania in spite of his operatic per formance. It was alleged further that the government house in Melbourne had been closed against him, says the New York Sun.
 The suit which Eric Hope brought was to show that he had been dam aged because the newspaper had said that he could not act and had men, toned other items along the same lines. It was pointed out, however, that in the public examination of the Earl of Yarmouth in the bankruptcy court in London in June, 1900, he had testified that although his contract salary paid by Charles Frohman for performances in America in 1899 had been at first $250 a week. it had been reduced later to $100. When he re- tired from the stage he engaged in the wine trade for a short time as an agent for the firm of Roosevelt & Schuyler, of this city.
 It was brought out in the trial that theiearl had borrowed on one occasion S15 from his valet, which he had not repaid. The valet also testified as to dog transaction0 The earl had three dogs, and the valet arranged for him To sell one to a woman for $25. After the deal was arranged the earl said the price would have to be S30. As the valet already had promised the dog to the woman, he paid the extra S5 from his own pocket. Later he told the earl about the So, which he did not get back.

SPEECH 0E HONORABLE
GEORGE FRED WILLIAMS

The people of Grants Pass were well
entertained at the Opera house last
Monday afternoon bv Hon. George
Fred Williams of Massachusetts. Mr..
Williams is recognized as being one
of the most learned men OF the legal
fraternity in the United States. In ad'
dition to his scholarly attainmsnts,
he is a polished gentleman and a
natural born orator
The speaker went directly into the
discussion of the questions at issue,
aud it WAS loon apparent that he had
his task well in hand He began by
paying tribute to the people OF
Oregon for the example that they had
set in bringing about the initiative
aud referendum aud other civic re-
forms The undignided conduct of
Mr.. Roosevelt in the present cam.
paign was presented in its true and
unenviabe light. fe showed plainly
that the power of the administration
had been used to secure the nomina-
tion of presidential candidate whom
he himself had selected He also
pointed out the dctatorial course
that lad been pursued in matters
that belonged exclusively TO the
states, and warned the people Of what
might be expected of Mr.. Taft should
he be elected under the authority aud
dictation OF the present incumbent.
Mr.. Williams went pretty
thoroughly into the Injunction
question. He showed that Mr.. Taft
had done more to destroy the right of
trial by jury than any other man who
has occupied Judicial position since
the foundation Of our government.
He showed too, that this usuIpation Of
power had been and was still being di-
rected against organized labor aud 10
the interest of organized capital. He
made it clear that plans were now on
foot to select additional members of
the supreme court from among cor
poraton attorneys.
The bank deposit guaratee as pro.
posed by Mr.. Bryan and the demo.
cratic platform was fully explained
Rogue River courier. (Grants Pass, Or.) 1886-1927, 1908-10-09

and shown TO be on parallel with
other forms of insurance now in
vogue. He argued that the man who
dsposi ted money had just as much
right to be protected as the man who
loaned money.
Discussing the personality Of the two
leading candidates, the speaker called
attention to the fact that the more the
people learned of Mr.. Bryan the bet
ter they loved him. He said that the
leading colleges of the world were now
using the speeches of Mr.. Bryan as
models of purity and American
statesmanship He intimsted that
future mothers would point to Mr..
Bryan as fit example for their sons,
while no one would care to have their
children remember the man who is
known to be the father of injunctions.
Mr.. Williams was very optimstc in
his views of the coming election. He
expressed a desire that Oregon should
cast her electoral vote for Mr.. Bryan
bat thought that it would not neces-
sarily be needed, as hunrdeds of thous-
ands of republicans throughout the
eastern and middle states were be-
ginning to see the fallacy of republi-
can pretentions and were now going
to cast their votes for Mr. Bryan, the
man who for IL years has stood firmly
for the God given rights of all men.
He expressed his belief in what we
all believe that large majority OF
the people want to do right, and that
what was now needed was thorough
campaign of political education.
The speech from beginning to end
ing was full of truth and high-class
patriotism. 1t furnished just such
food as is always relished by men and
women of cultured minds. In short,
it was American democracy, pure
and updefled. 1t was the kind of
democracy that is always the result
of right thinking and right training.
1t was the kind that has characterized
the great and good men of all ages. 1t
was universal justice to all mankind.
And if the American peolpe fail to
appreciate and to appropriate such
teaching, it will be eviderce that our
republican fathers lsbored aud suffered
in vain.

The j. Manchester Haynes home for
| nurses, which has been erected during
the past year, and is now completed
except for a part of the furnishings,
will be ready for occupancy in a short
time This beautiful home, made
possible through the benevolence of
the late j. Manchester Haynes, who
provided for the home by a bequest in
his will, and the generosity of Mrs.
Haynes, Who has contributed literally
toward the project, and has assisted
in many particulars with valuable adj
vice regarding the details of the work,
will he a valuable addition to the City
hospital property, not to mention the
added convenience and comfort which
the nurses who are devoting their lives
to the relief of suffering will enjoy.
The need of such home has for a
long time been patent to the officers
of the hospital and to the public gen.
orally, but not until the public spirited
bequest of Mr. Haynes became avail
able was it possible to carry the cher
ished plan of the directors into execu-
ton.
But the building is now erected, and
the fact gives added courage to those
who are laboring for the advancement
of the hospitals interests and the
needs of the citizens of this vicinity,
and the strangers within our gates,
who may without a moments warning
require the assistance of all the aid
which competent physicians and skilled
of the conditions which well equipped
hospital affords.
