The marchioness is the daughter of Sir George Chetwynd, the second husband of the mar- chioness of Hastings, the daughter of the second marquis of Anglesey. As Lady Flora Paget this lady (the mother) a relgning | | belle, was engaged, away back in tbe six- ties, to Henry Chaplin Two days before | the wedding she went to Marshall & Snell- | grove's dry goods store on Oxford street, ostensibly to make final arrangements for her trousseau, entered the store by the tront door, left it by the side door, ran away and married the marquis of Hast- ings. How Henry Chaplin’s “dark horse” Hermit beat the marquis of Hastings first favorite In the next year's Derby and serfously crippled the latter's fortune is one of the romances of the British turf. When, five years ago, Miss Chetwynd married the marquis of Anglesey (or Lord Uxbridge, as he then was), it was con- sidered a great matrimonial stroke. He had an income of nesrly $1,000,000 a year | and gave to her $26,000 worth of jewelry. They separated after six weeks. In six| months she brought suit to have the mar- riage nullified, but a few days before the case was to have been heard she applied to have it withdrawn. The facts never came to light, the case belng heard “in | camera,” but Justice Jeune, who has a | unique experience in matrimonial matters, sald It was the most extraordinary case that had ever come to his notice. The sult was withdrawn, the marquis eettled | $60,000 & year on the marchioness, and | since then they have gone their own ways. The marquis has a bad case of stage mania. He devotes all his time to private theatricals, which he carries out on & lavish scale at his castle, Plas Newydd, in north Wales. The marchioness, considersd the most beautiful marchioness in Eng- land, passes her time between London, Paris and the Riviera. She is of the airy, fairy type, with wondertul pink and white complexion, titlanesque red hair, and eyes that only Greuze could do justice to. She cxcites unbounded admiration and interest in her is heightened by the mystery that HOPES POPE WILL GRANT THEM DIVORCE A Market fn Om ect Mormon Senntor, at David Cits. ka Towns. stration BilL elze Venesuela Customs louse, H Beresto pe Doetrine, ers Wil Accept Sliver.

The young czarina went there as a bride, and was enchanted with this pearl of the Russian Riviera. In her northern home, with Its frosts of nature and still severer moclal frosts, she longs for the days when she and “Kolla,” as she calls her h¥sband, can tramp arm in arm amid the gardens and cypress groves of Livadia. None of her people know much of this sweet life, the | paper dare not print it; it is spoken about rarely, It at all, and always with bated breath. . In Livadia the czar throws away all state. Ministers and messengers come and | g0, courtlers buzz about, but they are ‘reated by the emperor as friends whom he knew In St. Petersburg, and when their business is done, they sit together on the verandas, smoke clgarettes and look out on the blue waters of the Black sea at the slow trall of some passing steamer on the horizon. The czar is an early riser. nurse taught him a German proverb, “The early morning has gold in its mouth. He quotes this with a smile when a minister comes late to an appointment at 7 o'clock in the morning. He dresses hastily—it is without putting on a collar, and takes a rapld walk through the grounds with half a dozen fox terriers at his heels, and Tatlana, the next to the eldest little grand duchess, racing behind.

Afterward come the ministers and secre- taries with their portfolios and telegrams and’ as they call their ponderous ate documents. The czar reads them all, slaving away at them until mid-day, while his wife is with the children, sometimes romping with them when nobody is looking, her golden hair streaming at her back as she files about. English is always spoken on these occa~ slone. Whon the czar and his wife are alone no other language is used, but if a stranger appears they turn to French.

Ronalds' Party. New (Copyright, 18, by Press Publishing Co.) LONDON, Jan. 3.—(New York World Ca- blegram—Special Telegram.)—Quite a stir was caused at Mrs, Ronald's New Year's party by the arrival of Mrs. Guy Chetwynd, formerly Mrs. Rosaline Secor of New York, in a beautiful gown of green with a hat to match, trimmed with paradise plumes, while the dress was ablaze with diamonds and the clasp in her hat was a superb diamond ornament. Around her throat she wore a double string of exquisite pearls. Her cloak was of chinchilla. She went with the countess of Romney, who introduced her all around. There w no singing, but the soft instrumental music permitted conversation and the gramaphone was delightful to all. Mrs. Ronalds beauti- ful Christmas and New Year's gifts were displayed. The king and queen sent framed photographs. A card with the queen’s own handwriting had the words: “To Dear Mrs. Ronalds, from Alexandra.

We were fools and don't want to have any more to do with an a fair which does not interest us any more.” The situation, therefore, may be summed up as follows: If Mme. Humbert and her brother, Romain d'Aurignac, maintain a discreet sflence regarding their relations with those in high quarters they will bene- fit by the efforts made in their behalf by the magistracy and those in authority. If any oue presses for a harsh sentence it will be the money lenders, for whom the public has scant regard. Light Sentences Probable. The probable résult will be that Mme. Humbert and Romain will get sentences of one or two years' imprisonment and that the other members of the family either will be more leniently dealt with or will be set at liberty, It was feared that the Humberts' coming back would lead to riotous scenes and re- gretable incidents. The prefect of police and the minister of the Interior passed long, anxlous hours arranging the details of elaborate measures intended to efrcum- vent the public and press. Up to the I minute no outsiders knew where the de- tectives would leave the train from Madrid with their prisoners. Representatives of the Paris newspapers walted on Prefect Lepine the evening before the train was due and asked for information about the hour and place of arrival “Come again to- | morrow morning at 8, sald Prefect Le- | pine. When the reporters turned up Mr. | Lepine told them to jump into carriages | in walting and follow him.

The train arrived before daybreak. A score of detectives lined up alongside the last car, which promptly was uncoupled, and the remainder of the train resumed its journey to central Paris. Hennion, the French chief of detectives, who had accompanied the prisoners from Madrid, was the first to etep down from the car. Then came Mme. Humbert, dressed In black and wearing a fur boa and dark hat trimmed with violets. She seemed to have grown much thinner during her residence in Spain. Although she looked tired, her features wore a stamp of decision. Outside the station Mme. Humbert and Eva were put into a cab. Two detectives were about to take places beside them when Mme. Humbert, in an imploring volce, exclalmed: M. Hennion, can we not be left alone?

A recess was then taken for two weeks, after which interval the body wiil again meet in the same place to hear aud act upon the report of the committee. Men at the Meeting. . The sole disappointing feature of the meeting was the dearth of grain men pres- ent. Less than a score of the forty or more in the city were there to show an open front in the fight. This fact was the sub- Ject of considerable comment on the part of those citizens who spoke to the matier. . . of the grain market. The grain men were: Hamllton J. H. Conra McWhorter, E. P. Peck, F. C. Hollinger, W. C. Sunderland, Thomas Baker, James Walsh, J. Comstock, L. R. Cottrell, F. J. Campbell, John E. Von Dorn, F. A. Gritz- ner, F. Falkner of Schuyler, Neb., and N. A. Duff of Nebraska City. The directorate of the Board of Trade was represented by two members, James Walsh and 8. A. McWhorter. Two rallroad men only were present. They were George Entrikin, division freight agent of the Wa- bash rallroad, and W. Laing, contracting treight agent for the same road. ) One question that has been much agitated during the last week was decisively settled. | That was that the market is to be under | the auspices of the Omaha Board of Trade. It was decided that no cther pi.n would carry behind it the stability and backing that the Board of Trade can lend to t! project. There was some sentiment to the contrary expressed by a few men present, but the majority was insistent that no other plan should be considered for a mo- ment. To that end the immediate organ- ization was left absolutely temporary in order that everything may be swung in to the Board of Trade directorate as woon as the preliminary rteps are completed. Proceedings in Detail , The session continued a little more than an hour, commencing at 3:30. Mr. Peck was at once instalied as temporary chalr- man and F. C. Holllnger as secretary. The object of the meeting was stated and those present called upon for expressions on the matter. P. E. Iler was first called. He sald: ‘“We can get this thing if the railroads {will help us. It will be of the greatest | benefit to the city in every way. With | that grain market here and the rallroads all favorable to it there is hardly a limit to what the town can become. But it all de- pends on these rallways James Walsh followed: “Outsiders who look at this city and note its location say that there is something wrong. And there is something wrong. It can be righted only by agitation. The grain men can do it it they will all stand together. The quastion before us is kow to reach the corporations that are opposing this market.

If the weather is fine and not too warm there is a plcnle in the afternoon to one of the lovely lttle Greglan krosques, where white marble fronts are seen here and there peeping out of the dark foliage of the evergreen. At 5 o'clock tea there is also great fun. The czarina invariably makes tea herself, after putting on the daintiest of silk and lace aprons, just as she did in her old Darmstadt home, and the court ladies pre- pare the bread and butter.

He was smiling, as usual, and apparently not in the least dls- concerted. Emil, his brother, did not seem to relish his position. Frederick Hum- bert, the husband of Therese, walked with much difficulty, his soft hat pulled down | over his eyes. They were also conducted by detectives to cabs.

Mme. Humbert, overwhelmed with the fa- tigue of the long journey, fell asleep on the way. The other prisoners, with the exception of the irrepressible Romain, gave | themselves up to their reflections. Romain joked with the detectives. ‘I am glad to be back in Paris,’ “but would prefer other yours." Then he fell to discussing aloud the merits of the Parisiennes, comparing those passing to their places of business with Spanish girls.

Merriam was called upon to tell what | he knew of this discrimination. *I am not prepared (o say whether Omaha has the recognition due It from the raflroads or not,” said he. “If not, the people of the city are to blame.
