Marquiz Mary Des Monitors Merinville, Formerly Miss
 Gwendoline Caldwell
Quarter of Century Ago Her Name Known in Social Circles of the Globe.
Special from United Press.)

New York. Oct. 5.-The Marquiz Mary Des Monitors -Merinville, aged AS, formerly Miss Gwendoline Cald- of Louisville Ky, died early to-day on board the steamer Kron Prinzessin Cecil just as that liner was off Sandy Hook. The Marquiz had been suf- ferer from Bright's disease for num- Der of years and was returning to America for medical treatment. Her body was brought to port. The Mar quiz has made her home in Rome for number of years.
 The Marquiz was immensely rich. A quarter of a century ago her name was known in the social circle of ev- cry corner of the globe. Up to 1880 nounced her intention of taking the veil. She gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to Catholics. She was then living with her parents in Louisville. She failed to enter a convent however, and her interest in the Catholic church waned and finally she left the church in 1905. Then she caused a sensation by insisting that her DOT trait be removed from Caldwell Hall in the Catholic University at Wash ington. Later she demanded that her name be erased from Caldwell Hall. Both her requests were met.
 In 1890 her engagement was an- nounced to Prince Joacquin Mura, grandson of the King of Naples. a man twice her age but the engagement was broken off when the Prince demanded that half her fortune be settled upon him.
 In 1897 she was married to the Mar quiz Des Monitors Merinville and has been in America but twice since that time. Her husband is in Paris and a cable has been sent him announcing the death.
 Although the Marquiz was but 4S she looked sixty. For five years she has been blind and deaf and a con- stant sufferer from Bright's disease She brought a private physician and six attendants with her on her trip to America. the object, of which was to consult her old family physician Dr. M- Allen Starr. No funeral ar engagements have been made It is estimated that the Marquiz left for tune of several million dollars.
 It was reported a few months ago that the Marquiz, then a resident of Rome. had sent a jeweled ring to Bishop D. J. O'Connell. rector of the Catholic University in honor of his elevation to the Episcopacy. This gift, it was rumored in Catholic circles, was in the nature of a notification to the public that the Marquiz had rejoined the Catholic church.

CONSERVATION OF RAILROAD HARBOR GRAB PRECIPlTATES
 FIGHT TO SAVE SEASIDE PARK
Flames Predicts New Harbor Line Fight
 To Protect Park

President George M. Flames, of the Board of Park Commissioners, was an interested spectator at the. session of the Common Council, last night, during the passage of the harbor line legislation. To a reporter of the Farmer he said that it will not be long before the Park Board will ask the Aldermen for some harbor line legislation. He said that what could be called the "up river' harbor line fight is now apparently settled, but that the way is paved for a brand new har- Dor line fight below the inner breakwater. He is not afraid that the Locomobile company will steal a march on the Park Board over night, by filling in the 20 acres of harbor involved, because as he says they cannot get the 10000 odd teams that would be necessary for so fprompt a performance of the job.

 BUILDERS CONTRACT, Yet High Bidders Were Se-,, lected Because They
 Would Complete Struc-
 ture on Time

It is apparently a very good thinA fer the Snare Triest Co. that there Is no penalty written in to it's contract with the city for not having the Con- gress street bridge completed within the specified time
 A competent bridge builder. who is familiar with the work. and who looFs- ed over the job yesterday, said the city will be most fortunate if it is able to have the bridge opened by May 15.
 The time prescribed in the contract for the completion of the bridge was dard. who is supervising the building of the bridge said this afternoon that it would be well into Spring before the bridge will be ready for public use.
 The bridge commission awarded fhe contract to Snare & Priest, whose bid was $S.000 higher. than that of the lowest bidder on the aIlayed ground that the latter would get the bridge finished in November. The OBrien Construction Co. was the lowest bid der and which was willing to post a forfeit to build the bridge within a specified time was turned down.
 The Snare & Triest Go. claim to have had unexpected trouble with the west abutment of the bridge which they say was found to be sliding into the river and had to be anchored. It was also they say necessary to in crease the size of the west abutmenf
 The contractors have been working gangs night and day all summer and have made headway since June. but prior to that time progress was slow.
 One business man familiar with the situation who heard that a. celebration upon the opening of the bridge was being talked of for April suggests that it be held on July 4.

Kentucky's Triumph.
From the Missouian:
You can't keep squirrel on the
ground and you can't keep a good
man dOwn-these are venerable prov
cribs whose significance is the same,
significance which applied with spe-
cial emphasis to the latest triumph of
the Bluegrass state. There were
those who shook their heads when
Kentucky, even in part, went prohi-
bition; there were also those who,
knowing Kentucky, felt confident
that she would rise, fully equal to the
crisis. She has risen, and her rise is
glorious justification of the faith
which her friends had in her. A re-
port, which seems to be well verified,
comes from Kentucky in effect that
a native of the state has discovered
chemical process by which whiskey
can be diversed of its intoxicating ef-
feet without materially interfering
with it's taste or its exhilerating in
fluence. Thus is the fertive corn
juice removed from the list of intoxi-
eating liquors and the threatened ex-
odus from Kentucky is averted.

Support Your Team.

From the Havre Plaindealer:
Havre has baseball team, and it is
one that can play the national game.
Easily the best material ever assem-
bled in Havre to play ball is now here,
and they are practicing with faith
fulness that is most commendable.
They play the best game that has ever
been offered an amusement-loving
public in this city. Arthur M. Gent
ry, the well-known attorney, has &C
cepted the management of the organi-
cation and he promises having games
with neighboring teams all during the
summer. They have to date asked
absolutely no help from the public in
the maintenance of their organization.
However, ball team, like any other
organization, must have financial as
well as moral support if it is to long
endure in usefulness. For this reason
the business men should accord it
generous measure of support, as they
doubtless will when the matter is pre-
sented to their attention.
