CUPID DID NOT LINGER
AN AMAZING STORY OF MAR
RAGE AND DIVORCE IN
HIGH SOCIETY.
Recent Wedding of Alfred Vanderbilt
and Mrs. McKim Adds Another
Chapter to Long List of Matri-
mOniaI Scandals.

and Mrs. MCh1m ADDS AnOtner
Chapter to a Long List of Matri-
mOnial Scandals.
Another chapter in the love affairs
of the Vanderbilts was written re-
Gently in England when Alfred
Gwynne Vanderbilt and Mrs. Marga-
ret Emerson McKim, both divorced,
were married by a registrar. The
wealth of the groom and the promi-
nence, socially, of both, coupled with
their previous divorce scandals,
make the union a matter of consider
able interest.
Alfred G. Vanderbilt became the
head of the family upon the death, in
1899, of his father, Cornelius Wander
bilt, the eldest son, Cornelius, having
incurred the displeasure Of his father
because of his marrying against the
parental wishes. Alfred received
100000 on the division of the
property and at once took his place
as the wealthiest young man in
America.
In 1901 he married Miss Elsie
French, a childhood sweetheart and
an heiress, but the union was not
for long. Seven years later MIS- Van
derbilt sued for divorce. The evil
dence was taken in secret by a ref
cree and a decree was issued. The
name of Mrs. Agnes Ruiz, wife Of a
former attache of the Cuban lega-
ton at London, was mentioned in
the case Soon after the Vanderbilt
divorce Mrs. Ruiz was divorced by
her husband, and later she commit
ted suicide in London because Van
derbilt had ceased his attentions to
her.
Vanderbilt's bride, Mrs. Margaret
Emerson McKim, comes Of family
every one of whose members has fig
ured in the divorce courts. She is
the daughter of Capt. Isaac E. En-
erson, millionaire Baltimore drug
gist, and in 1902 married Dr. Smith
HOllins McKim, a member of a prom
inent Maryland family. The little
god Cupid did not long remain a
guest. In 1909 Papa" Emerson and
Mrs. McKim went to Reno, New, and
there last year Mrs. McKim was di-
Vorced.
DR.. McKim threatened to institute
suits against various persons
among them Alfred G. Vanderbilt
and Papa" Emerson-for alienation
of the affections of his wife and later
compromise was agreed to, by the
terms Of which Dr. McKim was paid
handsome sum on condition that
no suits would be begun. In this
settlement the name Of Mrs. Freder-
lex Mccormack appeared. She was
named with the others whom Dr..
Mckim agreed not to sue Mrs. Nc
COrmack was a young widow and a
close friend of the Emersons and of
Mrs. McI<im. The connection of her
lame with the suits threatened by
Dr. McKim was made more apparent

Townsend, Sept. 1.-THE seventh

of devout friends of the ancient edi-
flee attended the all day services. The
early morning was devoted to soon

able sermon by Rev. ]. A. Arters, at
Middletown. After a period of time
spent at luncheon and social inter-
course, love feast and experience
meeting was held, followed by most
excellent sermon by Rev. J.L. Spark
lin, of Odessa. A collection for the
purpose of keeping the church and
grounds in order for the ensuing year

the usual time for the annual meeting
proved inconvenient to the people and
ministers, because of the busy season.

Mrs. Deborah Knox Livingston, to
Speak at w. c. 7. U. Convention

Mrs. Deborah Knox Livingston. to
Speak at W. c. 7. U. Convention
''The Star in the East, - official
organ of the Maine WOman's Christ
ian Temperance Union contains the
following sketch of Mrs. Deborah
Knox Livingston who will deliver the
address at the w. c. T. U. State
Convention next Wednesday evening,
September 25th. Mrs. Deborah Knox
Livingston, was born in Glasgow,
Scotland, and lived in that distant
country until ten years old. A Scotch
lassie of ten years must take on
the stamp of the bonnie country and
although well Yankeeized, she is
nevertheless in many ways, daughter
of dear old Scotland. She was ed
ucated in the public and private schools
of Rhode Island and early became a
teacher of ability. In 1897, she mar
ried Rev. Benjamin T. Livingston, a
Baptist clergyman, whose sympathy
and devotion have ever aided Mrs.
Livingston in her work for humanity
In speaking of her children, Mrs.
Livingston recently said, "We have
twj: one, Helen, who serves in the
Kings presence, and David, who is
five years DID," Mrs. Livingston
began her work for the w. C. T. u.
in the city of Pawtucket, when she
was eighteen years of age. The foil
owing year, she became president of
the w. c. T. U. of the First District
of Rhode Island. She also served as
State Supt. of Evangelistic work and
for two years, while residing in Bost-
on, was secretary of Boston Central
Union. In 1904 Mrs. Livingston was
elected to the presidency of Rhode
Island w. c. T. u, and she still
holds this honorable position. Next
to Mr.. Livingston's encouragement
and help, Mrs. Livingston regards
Mrs. Stevens as her inspiration. To
see the expression in her eyes as she
refers to Mrs. Stevens as 'The Chief"
is enough to convince one of the un-
faitering love and loyalty which she
freely gives to the leader. AS a
speaker, Mrs. Livingston is appearing
and logical, and her winsome personal
ity captures an audience and hold it
throughout an entire address. AS a
worker, she brings her practical ex-
perience into play and good results i'm
mediately follow.

to put up with the conditions as they
find them. Most of the factories have
barricks built for the laborers and
whole families come, every one, in
cluding the small children, all doing
some work in the factories. They
seem to regard the work more as a
big picnic than anything else. One big
factory has solved another problem
that has disturbed the management by

crop on hand than has ever been seen
