THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY OCTOBER 19, 1800-SIXTEEN MRS, KATE CHASE SPRACU Bomo Interesting Gosip About a Brilliant and Beautiful Woman, HER UNHAPPY MARRIED RELATIONS. How Her Hushand Fellin a Dranken Sleep at a State Dinner—Kissed by President Lincoln —1he rench Coun (Coparight 260 by Franke G, Canpenter) Wisnisoroy, Oct. 1h.—|Special to Tme Bee,|-Thesuicde of Wille Sprague, the grandson of Samon P. Chse, atSeattle a fow days ago, is bringing forth anumber of new stories about the charactes in the ChaseSprague-Conkling scandal, Here at Washington KateChase hasalways been con- sidercd 28 baving been more sinned agiinst thansinning. Sprazue wasa very rich me at thotimeof his marriage and his mone and position overshadowed his real charac - ter. His drinking tendencies werenot. known and he acted in such a manner soon after the s that Kate Chase,who was in in- snnection with the greatest minds of | t forhim. She tried Al her disgust and him many times from public dis- I heard last nicht of & state dinner at the white house which gives a faint idea of the indigities she hal to unde This dinner was given by President Lincoln to Chief Justice Chase inhonorof his appint- mentas heal of the supreme court. 1t was swell affair. The justices of the supreme courtand the highostoMeials were present with their wives, and Mm, Kate Chase- Sprogue and her hus band among them She was the center of admiration, and she sat on Mrs, Linwln's left hal, oppsite her father, whohad the seat onthe right of the president’s wife as the guest of honor. Sprague was then inthe United States sen ate, and helad taken one of the other lidies out. todinner and had aseat on theotherside of the table some distance from his wife, He evidently had taken severaldrinks before he came to the white house, and at the third course hiseyes becane glassy and his voice thick. Atthe end of the fourthoourse he sank back in hischair in a deep sleep. Mrs. Spragie kiowing his condition had kept somo watchof him, and as she saw this her faceturned pale, but she did notgive any otherindication of hertrouble. She at last maunaged tocateh her father's eyt and he at once saw that she wasin agony. She loked at her hushand,and the clief justice then saidto My, Lincoln : "I seethat SENATOR SPIAGUE 18 181, Will you not Shave your butler take him out auietly to the cloak mom?’ Mrs, Lincoln gavothe directions and twowaiters carried him, this husband of the then brightest womin in Was hington, out and lid him on the lounge, where he shum bered until dinner was over. Then the ciief justice superi tended puthim into his carriage and ho w takenhome, Mrs, Sprague was almost dying with mortification, but throighout that long dinner she gave no signs of herpain, She was s bright in ber repartes as ever andshe listened with a smile to the complimentary speeches wd congratulatory remarks that were given to her father, This happened earlyin her maried life. Is it any wonder that her disgust g as time went on and suchex ¢s became frequent? Kate Chase-Sprague was ouly twenty-four whenshe was married, but ner life had been such that she knew more of menand things than the geayest-hai ldy among her guests on that occasion, She was her fatler’s confidential secretary. She haa presided over his home in Columbus while he was grovernor of Ohio aud she was his chief lieatenant and most ardent worker in his campign for the presidency of the United States, It may be that herambition to have her father in the white house made her marry Governor Sprague, for Chase, though he had be en- atorof the United States and had had a long ublic carecr, was far from wealthy, and he ad 1o money *to put whereit would do the most good." ~ Sprague was the richest man in Rhode Islind, and he was thought to besev- eral times a millionaire, Hemet Kate Chase when her father was govermor of Ohio and whenhe was governor of Rhodelsland. It was at Clevelund, where Kate Chase was visiting. The wedding took place here 1n Washington, while Salmon P. Chase was of the treasury. His house was on ot near the patent offiee. a1 place that is now far ot in the fashiouable part of the city. Itwas in the days of President Lincoln one of the finest houses here, and tho bridal chanber, the Tivrary and parlor which the young couple were to oeeupy were FURNISHED WITH EVERY LUXURY whidh wealth and goad taste could supply. Marble mantels were importea fror It orental rugs covered the tlors, and the pare lor was lusuriouwsly fumished. The wedding was a grand one, and President Lincoln was among theguests, Hereaclied the house just after the ceremony had been performed, and he gave thebrido hearty kiss when hotame in. He was toil thatthe wedding was ov and replied that he regretted it butif it was 80 hehad osubmit, and added, “[ suppose you cun’t ourn that gunypowder twice for evena prosident.” Mis. Chase is now living on her farm, Bdgowood, near Washington. 1t was the country home of her father during his last days, and the city has graduall wled up toituntilitis now worth a fortane, It con- tains fifty ieres, and Mrs. Chase's farmis so that she' makes money outof it,und that is doing more than ot farmers do about Washington, She manages everything and somotimes even follows the plouglinan to see that he does his work properly. Shebuys eyerything that goes intothe farm andis a good finander and'a good manager, It was the same when she was the wife of Governor Sprigue. She contaolled ler household and her servants with un iron hand encased in ghoves of velvet, She had a big retine of servants, and her French cook got 8100 o month. Tnher use of servants shewould not tolenite impudance or lisoledienc and s an e of her methods of dealing with them, she once asked oneof her coachmen to dosomething in the house. The man ob- Jectod and said that he had been lired to at- tend to the horses and that his only place of duty was ou the box of the carrisge and in the stable. “All might,” said Mrs, Sprague, And she thereupon orlered out the curriage and kept the coachman SITTING ON TIEE BOX ALL NIGHT. As his placewas a good one hesubnitted rather thanthrow up his _job, but henever refused to do anything that M, Spraguo asked thereafter, Kute Clase is still a very fine looking woman. She looks ten years younger than she rally is andshe works a5 hard asany woman in Washington, Sheis writinga life of her fathor and her work will b fullof un- | wrilten history, In addition to her wonder- miniscences, gathered durine a period ng & quarter of a century, in which she was in the closest confidential velations with the greatest statesmen and gencrals of her he has bushels of letters madeup of private correspondenc public men undshe has her father's diaryand lotters, Not long ago she said that sheconsidered this diary one of the most histaorical papers in existenco. She keeps 1t in a fireproof vault and she_will quote from it very freely in her work. Salmon P. Chase kept a dairy throughoot his whole public career. He had it in his bedwom and be jotted down his meumoranda in it of the occurences of the day every night before he retired. 1t is prob- | ablyas valuableas the dinryof John Quincy | Adaws, SALNON P CHASK'S FINST 10VE. It is bardly probable that Salmon ¥, Chase's fist love will be included in this biogrphy, but the truth is that the chief justice wis married threo times before ho | was forty and he did not getthe girl he first nid bis” attentions to. This was @ Miss Jabell whom he met herin Washington, He came here while his uncle was senator to get o placo in the departments, But his unele told him that he would give him a dollar to buy a spade to dig with, but that he would not help him to the living dungeon ok @ §oveument depart ment. The result wis that young Chase had [ 1o goto teaching school andhe stidied law at thessme time inder William Wirt, who was the father of one of his pupils. 1t'wis hero thathe met Mis Cabell who was visiting at | the Wirts, Hefell deeplyin love with her, wirote verses about_her_and the sory fs that he finally proposed. She wi wer, of oneof the first families of Virginia and hought hersell too good for @ youn g school teacher like young Salmon Chase. What finally became of herl never heard, but if she livedto sce her rejected lover become tho ruost noted jurist in the United States it must havye been o source of bitter regret to her. They tell a funny story out inthe country near Columbus, O, tbout Salman P. Chas boyhood. He spent a partof it with bis un- clé, Bishop Chase, who believed fn the young man earning his saltfor the boardand school: ing whichhe gavehim and who expected himto atiend toall the duties about nisfarm, Oncaay inthefall as the bishop was s ingaway to ride the cdrcuitof his congre tion, he told Salmonto quit school at noo andomehome and kill and dress a pig. Young Chase had neyer seen a first elass bog killing buthe thought he coulddo_it.

Whether the pig was left in too long or whether the water was fo0_hot tho result that the bristles were fivnly set and woill notcome out at all, Young Salmon dugaway withhis fligers until they wero raw, Hoscraped with a knife wd polled at one butall tono eflect. 1t was | etting far'into the night and howas in de- spair when he thought of the bishop's razors andgetting them he shaved the pig from nosoto tail. It wasa beautiful job and_he s congratulated upon his success. The op did not try toshaveuntil he went to wch one dayand then his tempexr by no i { his sermon. Kite Chase las prictically dropped outof siety since she came back from wce, She has herown friends who go to see her out shedoesnot scem to tako much interest insocicty. She hs tasted the be of itand foundthat it 1s like the apples of Sodom, WAUTIFUL WITHOUT WUT ASFIES WITHIN. Shortly after she loft Governor Sprag for god she wis notin the best of circun. stances and T saw once in an old antiquarin storein New York a beautiful water viteher of solid silver whicnthe antiquary said_ be- longed to Kate Chase Sprague and had been leftthereto be sold.

Therei of wursea diflerencein the positions of the twomen, but both are of royal blood, and, thouga fhe count comes us a private gentie manto the United States, thero was a tine when his chances of becoming the king of France were decidedly gool. The prince of Wales was the guest of the presidentand he stopped at the white house. The Comte de Paris has been entertained at the Ar hotel and he has not yet seen tie presi A _diplomat t was given to the prine of Wales, The count received u dinner fromhis old fend, General Schofield, but the l'rench legation has as yet paid noatte tionto him. The prince of Wales was given big feed and taken to Mount, Vernon on the cnue cutter Harriet Lane, and the Comte de Paris has had histrip to Mount Vernon on thenaval steamer Dispatch. The expenses of this trip of the prince of Wales were paid by Howell Cobb, sccretary of the treasury, outof hisown pocket, and'it now remains t be seen whether Secretary WILL PAY THE EXPENSES of the Comnt’s trip on the Dispatch. Howell Cobb had no idea of paying for the trip when he got up the excursion, He expected the billto bo footed by the department, and e invited the president, the foreign lgations andanumber of other distingushed guests to take asail with bim down the Potomac. He did not say anything to President Buchanan about it, and when Buch- anan found that the revemue cutter was to be used he was Y angry, Flesent for Jere Black, and when Black camein e said, *‘Black, are you ging to this blanked frolic? 1 want to know what youthinkof Cobb using the public property forprivatouses” I don't know,’ repliel the attomey general. *Cobb has started theaffair; has sent his vitatons to t prince of Walesand bas the steamer already packed full of provisions. 1 don't see how he canbackout ifhe tries, aud I proposéito go along with himand see’ how he comes'ou t,” SWell, Twon’t go,” replied Buchanan, It willbe ablot onmy administration and i am goiug to stop "~ Judge Black then suid thatall the English would lwgh at him Cobb would be humiliated, and it would be better forhim to dofray the expenses him- selfthanto stop it. Buchanu grasped at thissolution of the matter, and siid he would FINIT IN THATWA Y The excursion went off and the president and Miss Harriet Lane were a pat of it, thefiest cabinet mecting afterthe prine Wales lett, Buchanan said to Cobb § secretary, [ want an itemized bill of that priwe of Wales trip down the viver. [ want a detailed aceomt” of everything—the coal consumed, the salary of thie oficers, the ex- peuse of the dinner and everything else downto the smallestiters.,” Cobb edid not understand what to make of this, but said, “Certainly, Mr. President.”” As he went away from the white house with Jore Black, he burst out: “Whatin thinder did the old squire mean about that Mt. Vernon tript" Tter much urging Blacks told him of Buchan- an’sintention to paythe bill. Howell Cobb gavo a long whistle and answe 150 that's what old Buek is up to,is it! Well, I'llsee if can'tsurprise him." He did not seathe president until thenexteabinet day, andle came to the whi S ppicst man of the council. Now Buchanan fully apjpreciated the valueof the dollar, He hul notgotten the bill asyet and he was waiting anxiously for it. Helooked glum and asked Cobb to remainafterthe other members of the cabiict had gone. As the coat-tails of the last one of them vanished through the door, he suid: “Well, Mr. secretary, where is that bill??
