Woman Won Worlds Admiration.

The of Naples, Emperor
Francis Joseph's sister-in-law, Is the
only woman who has received the
Russian Cross of st. George, which Is
only conferred for acts of conspicuous
bravery under fire, and the ex-queen
received 1t in recognition of the cour-
age she displayed in connection with
the magnificent defense of Gaeta
against the armies of Garibaldi and
King Victor Emmanuel. One day dur
ing the siege a bomb fell into the
room where King Francis and Queen
Sophia were dining. King Francis re-
treated to the cellar, trembling with
fright. Queen Sophia rose from the
table and walked to a looking glass
that hung oil the wall and, noticing
that her hair was Whitened by the
plaster dust raised by the bursting
bomb, said, quite calmly; What a
pity 1t is that powder is no longer
fashionable? Don't | look quite an
eighteenth century queen with my
whitened hair? | must keep it SO
while the garrison Is being reviewed"
Queen Sophia conducted the entire
defense of Gaeta, which was SO mag
niicent that the garrison was permit
ted to march out with all the honors
of war. Every day she visited the
ramparts and encouraged officers and
men. She sighted the guns and her
example shamed those who were dis
posed to surrender into an appearance
of courage.

ASTOR 10TH To
PART WITH
HIS CASH
FINAL DIVORCE DECREE
REMAINS UNSIGNED
HaggIilg Over Money Settle
ment for Mrs, AStor Thought
Responsible for Delay in the
Closing Of Sensational Case



New York, March Beneath the
signature that made final today the
intcrlocutory decree ce divorce pre-
viously granted Mrs. Ava Willing
Astor from her husband. Colonel
John Jacob Astor, Justice Isaac Mills
ut White Plains wrote this afternoon:
THE clerk Of Duchess county is
hereby ordered not TO seal the above
final Judgment
The decree, however. as filed to-
night at Poughkeepsic. the county
seat, makes littlc known thar had not
been forejudged in popular estimate.
There appears the bald statement that
the marriage is dissolved by reason of
the statutory offense on the part of
the defendant but no money settle
ment is mentioned. the name Of the
correspondent is not given and none
Oh the testimony taken by the referee
is available; nothing, in fact, but the
decree itself.
The plaintiff may remarry but not
the defendant. Custody of William
Vincent AstOr, the son, IS given to the
father with provisions that the mother
may see him when she wishes, and
custody of the daughter, Ava Alice
Muriel is awarded the mother with
provisions that the father may see her
at all reasonable times
The understanding is that settle
ment of all money matters WIS ar
rived at before the decree was signed
and it is probah Bile that the exact
amount allowed Mrs. Astor will never
be known
1t has NOT been the policy of the
Astor estate to allow money to go out
Of the family Therefore ii seems
likely that no lump sum has been set
tied on her, but rather she win en-
joy a stipulated income during her
life time. or as long as she remains
single
Colonel Astor is one OF the richest
mon in the United States and the
Astor estate is one Of the largest hol-
ders of realty i'm the world 1t has
been reported on one hand that Mrs
Astor win receive S10,000.00O out
right and on the other that she viii
get the comparatively modest allow
ancc of 100000 year.
The unusual interval between the
granting of the interlocutory decree
and the fling today of application for
a final judgment led To the report that
there was haggling over the exact
sum to be awarded and there is
ground for the belief that the $50
