EUGENIA RUsPOLI
Sad story of Georgia Girl Who Married
italian Noblemnn

Rome, February 12.-(SpeciaI.) 1.-The re-
Gently reported attack on Donna Eugenia
Ruspoli by one OF her footmen is much
discussed here, as it is believed that 1t
is not unconnected with the various law
suits she is bringing in the italian courts
against her late husbands will.
The story of her life since her union
with the Italian nobeman Is a very sad
one, and another proof of how often mar
riages of American heiresses to Italian
noblemen end in misery if not disaster.
Donna Eugenia Ruspol was born at
Oakville, in the state of Georgia, as Eu-
genia Enfield Berry. At an early age
she married one of Americas millionaires
Mr. Barton. who. however. died shortly
afterward and left her all of his fortune
Later on the rich and beautiful widow
played leading part in New York and
Washington society. and before long fell
in love with the handsome Italian at
tache, Don Enrico Ruspoli. who tried to
win her as his bride, and dangled before
her the additional attraction that In due
course she would become the Duchess of
Ruspoli. The marriage was arranged and
solemnized in Washington with much
eclat. Soon after marriage. however,
Don Enrico made no secret of the fact
the fair widow. And he behaved to her
accordingly.
He resigned his post at the embassy
and returned to Italy, and then at once
put the law in motion to get control of
his wife's fortune. He succeeded in this.
and then proceeded to buy beautiful
property near Rome a palace in the city
itself and spent fortune in rebuilding
and decorating these places. The rela-
ions between husband and wife grew
worse, and Don Enrico forced his wife to
cave the chateau to him and to live in
Rome by herself. Subsequently he died.
and when his will was read 1t transpired

Every newspaper wants to pub
lish the news. The better the pa
per the more prosperous it will be.
Local items are especially hard to
run down. How many times have
you, dear reader, been approached
by the newspaper man for an item
OF news and told him that you knew
nothing ofinterest. Probably at the
same time your family were away
on visit or someone from out OF
town was visiting at your home.
OF course you don't mean TO deceive
the scribe, yet when you receive
your paper you wonder why your
family or friends were not mention
ed. A good way to avoid all OF this
is TO kindly inform US OF the facts or
drop note in the postofice. The
one item may not amount TO much,
but several columns OF such news
is the life Of a local paper.-From

the lard is already fully stocked
with young growth which with little

examined a volunteer growth of

comparing the rate OF growth OF the

other trees that will produce equal
financial returns for such purposes,
such as chestnut, for poles; yellow
