THE NEWSPAPER REPORTER

One of the difficulties encountered in conducting a newspaper whether in Alaska or estwher is that ot get ting authentic news first hand.

insisted that she go to Paris for
further treatment. From the be-

that she had no chance to recover
She was almost fatalistic in her atti-

She went to Paris where she had
an apartment, and after several
months of suffering died there on
December 5.
Mrs. Goelet left one last request,
that her body be taken home to
America on board the vessel in
which her husband died.
This request was not granted. Her
son, Robert Walton Goelet, hates
the Nahma. 1t may be an unreason-

him, and he refused to trust his
mothers body to that funeral ship.

dread and hate Of the yacht, that he

Ogden and Robert Goelet were the
only sons of Robert Goelet- the first
member of the family to become
widely known socially. Robert was
the elder. He had two children,
Robert Walton, who is still bache-
lor, and Beatrice. His widow called
herself Mrs. Goelet," being the
widow Of the elder son. Ogden also
had two children, son, Robert
Wilson, who married Elsie Whelen,
and May, who is now the Duchess
of Roxburghe. The only heirs to
the united Goelet fortunes are the
two baby sons OF Robert Wilson, as
the Roxburghes have no children
and probably will not have any. For
this reason Mrs. Goelet was very
anxious for her son to marry, and
to the day of her death urged him
to carry on his line.
In January, 1902, after series of
brilliant entertainments on the
Nahma, Mrs. Goelet decided to re-
turn to New York and bring out her
daughter Beatrice. This would be
her first appearance in the social
world of her own country since her
husbands death. The handsome
mansion on Fifth avenue was Or
dered in readiness and great prepa-
rations were made for the debut OF
the girl who was known at hon
and abroad as great heiress.
Beatrice was then seventeen years
old, a remarkably pretty young per-
son, and one who seemed destined
to make a great match, for in Eu-
rope she was on friendly terms with
the younger members of the royal
families of Great Britain and Ger
many. While speeding across the
Atlantic with the future so rosy be-
fore her Beatrice was stricken with
measles. On reaching New York she
was hurried to the mansion so won
derfully prepared for her, but she
died on the 10th of February, the
second victim of the Mamma.
Even after this tragedy, from
which she never recovered, Mrs.
Goelet would not sell the yacht.
She kept everything in her hus-
bands rooms just as he had left
them, and after Beatrice's death she
closed her rooms also, leaving all
her little things untouched. In
planning the Nahma Robert Goelet
had stipulated that his wife and
daughter should have unusually
large rooms. All the rooms were
arranged in suites. His own in
cluded. besides his bedroom and
dressing room, the library in which
he spent the greater part OF his
time, and in which his body lay in
state all the way across the Allan
tic. These rooms were kept sacred
and many of Mrs. Goelet's friends
and guests never saw them.
1t was one OF the interesting side
lights on Mrs. Goelet's character
that while she continued to live in
the funeral ship, and while she kept
as shrines the rooms occupied by
her husband and daughter still she
did not shut herself away from
social pleasures. She did not be
come a hermit nor did she inflict
her grief on the public.
Her daughters death, however,
made her an exile to all intents
and purposes. As ever, she made
her home on the Nahma, but she
gathered about her at first, only the
friends OF her later days-the friends
who had known her daugter. Mem
