Whitney, ex-Secretary of the Navy, and Mrs. Whitney (nee Vanderbilt), daughter of Cornelins Vanderbilt, the man with more millions than anybody else in the country, arrived here yesterday on the steamer Doric. They have been touring the Orient. Mr. Whitney and Miss Vanderbilt were married at Newport August 25 last. The wedding excited more attention than any otber in recent years, except that of Miss Gould and Count Castellane. The contracting persons from a political and social standpoint are among the eminent of the Nation. Then when it comes to money thers are aimost no comparisons to be made with anything that is past. The young bride will, it is said, become heiress to no less than $50,000,000, and her husband, Mr. Whitney, to about $40,000,000. Mr. Whitney graduated at Yale and afterwatd took a law course at Columbia College.

A written contract was drawn up to that effect, but Mrs. Holstrom neglected to take out the formal letters of guardian- ship or adoption. About the first of February of this year Sallie Maguire, now Mrs. Dartney, went to Mrs. Holstrom in Ssn Francisco and demanded possession of the child. Mrs. Holstrom refus d to give up the little girl, whereupon tbe mother applied to Secretary Kane of the Society for the Pre- vention of Vice, and in company with this officlal went to the Holstrom home and forcibly took the child away from fits foster-mother. Mrs. Holstrom appealed to the courts for the recovery of the child, and an order was made directing Secre- tary Kane to produce her in court. In the meantime Mrs. Dartney had taken the child to Dixon, ana when Officer Ksane went in search of ber in order to obey the order of the court, he was unabla to find the little girl, and he so reported 10 Judge Troutt. A picturs of the child appeared in TRE CALL of February 4, ana it was noted by peonle in Dixon that the child whom Mrs. Dartney had in her pos- session bore a striking resemblance to the photograph. Mrs. Holstrom was apprised of this fact and on Friday morning’s train there ar- rived in Dixon a couple of det-ctives and Mr. Holstrom, the husband of the woman who had the baby torn from her arms.

It unfits the sufferer for study, business and the social or married relations of life. It causes tired feelings, dizziness, paralysis, softening of the brain, weak and shrunken organs, lost manhood, despon- dency, fear of impending danger, bashfulness, pimples, loss of memory and a wandering mind. Among the married it creates discontent, disap- pointment, dissatisfaction and trouble. It has broken up more homes, caused more desertions and separations than all other evils combined.
