From the Chicago Inter-Ocean. A recent cabie dispatch announced the death, at Parts, of the Duke Canepo Selice, who was de- seribed as the husband of one of the beautiful daughters of Isaac M. Singer. The duke died of heart disease and was a millionaire. Hardly a twelvemonth passes without the occurrence of some incident, elther forelgn or domestic, which recalls memories of the patentee and first manu- facturer of the Singer sewing machine, Issac M. Singer, whose immense wealth and total disregard for matrimonial bonds made him notorious on both sides of the Atlantic. Singer was born in ‘Massachusetts, but spent the greater portion of his early Ufe tn an around New York city. after ob- taining his patent Singer, in order to ‘protect him- self agalust_ Howe, associated himself with a law- Yer named Clarke {a the manufactureof machines, Clarke managed the business and in reality made the money for Singer. After the organization in. 1853 ihe style of the firm was cM. Singer & Co, Clarke being the company. Singer made the most, ff not allot his gizantie fortune, between the Years of 1853 and 1863, for during the latter Year thy company Was Incorporated as the Singer Manufacturing Company, and Singer himself, hav- ing been married avout four Umes more than the law allows, sold all of his property, retaining only some of the stock of the newly-organized com- ng the AUlantc took'up his resi. ae nglaud with the one of his five wives with Whom he was most impressed at the time. Here Singer died in 1873, and Hugation of “his es tate of over fifteen millions ts not yet ended. ‘The wife of the Duke Campo Selice 1s thought by Chicago persons who know something of Singer's history to be one of the children of the uuion maintained by Singer and one of his wives for ten years in England. Several daugiters of the re- nowned Singer resided in New York city and attracted considerable attention through their great personal beauty and style, Some three Years ago the noted actor, Frank C. Bangs, mar- Ted one of them, but a Sensational separation followed the wedding before the honeymoon was passed, and later on the actor instituted suit for divoree. Some time within 2 year past an enter- prising newspaper correspondent un_arthed, as It were, One of Singer's widows down on the Jersey coast, near New York city, where she had been living for years under an assumed name, and hay- ing given up all hope of obtaining any portion of Singer's estate. A brother of Isaac M. Singer has lived in various portions of Tiltuots for the past ten years, He 1s of a roving nature, however, and chooses farming as his vocation, "The brother's name 1s John, and he occasionally comes to Chi- ‘THE SNUB TO GOV, FOBAKER. ‘What Another Ohio Man Says.

Nothing whatever will be said upon the subject at the White House. Mr. Daniel Grosvenor, brother of Representative Grosvenor, of Obio, told a Stan reparter to-day that he saw Gov.
