The Earl Wants Money.

A few days ago another rich
American woman gave herself to an
impoverished prince Of Hungary in
exchange for his effete title.J ust
before the new bride sailed for her
foreign home, Miss Alice Thaw.
another rich woman, who had given
l'rs'if 'oii, F;li,i Yam ,tti,. in
eAchahbc lor Ills hLie IL lew years
ago, came back to this country
thoroughly Disguised with the bad
bargain she had made in trusting
herself and money in the keeping of
a fortune hunting nobleman of the
old world. This once deluded wo-
man has gone back to her girlhood
home with all the romance knocked
out Of her by the brutality Of the
man she sold herself to, and she is
seeking a divorce.
Now comes the news that the
Thaws have been notified by attor-
neys for the Earl of Yarmouth that
the latter will demand a settlement
financially before submitting to a
divorce, as he holds a paper signed
by his wife before her marriage
which will give him the right to col
lect hcav lily Of her fortune. The
paper is an agreement that all her
fortune shall pass to the house Of
the Earl in the event of her dying
childlcss.
The Earl seeks to the
modest sum from his wife's family
of one million dollars for having
married their daughter and giving
her tho chance Of bccaming his
banker. The story goes that on the
occasion Of the Earl's marriage to
Miss Thaw that her brother Harry.
on finding that the Earl had sent
his sister, as a wedding present a
loving cup Of gold hurled the cup
through the window and threatened
to Kill a servant who would have re-
turned it to the house. Then Mrs.
Thaw brought peace by threatening
to have Harry's income cut off for
five years if he made another effort
to interfere With Preparations,
which the family had MADE to mar
~ a real live Earl into the family.

Subsidized Newspapers.

Banker Walsh, who was one Of
the so-called Democrats that went
over to the Republicans in 1896 as a
defender of the national honor.
when on the witness stand in Chica-
go. where he was recently tried and
convlc;vu Of taking other peoples
money to the tune of many millions,
admitted that he was able to carry
out many or his nefarious schemes
through the medium of his newspa-
per, The Chicago Chronicle. Walsh
also admitted on the stand that The
Chronicle cost him about a hundred
thousand dollars a month, and that
1T was worth that much to him as
an!instrument by which he was able
to fool the people.
[ Walsh was recently convicted of
charges for which the penalty pre-
scrlbed by the law is several hun
dred years confinement at hard la
Dor in the ponitontiary. He had
been engaged in high financiering,
during the curse Of which he han
died millions of dollars, and by vio-
lating the laws financially injured or
robbed hundreds Of victims. 1t has
come to light that as the owner of
the now dcfunct newspaper he spent
on it $1,000 coo a month over and
above the papers, income, and that
ne paid out this money not because
he loved newspaper work for he did
none Of it---but because he needed
the paper to get matters presented
to the Chicago public.

Augusta Herald says many papers

which do not have a legitimate in
