yachts and gives big parties when at
borne or at its summer retreat at New
port. It is not the first time that Uoxburgho
has had his engagement announced.
Two years ago It was said he was going
to marry Pauline Astor, daughter of
YVilllarn Waldorf Astor. But the re
ports were denied and seemingly proved
baseless.
The duke, a soldier by profession, is
.he first cousin of the duke of Marlbor
mgh, who married Consuelo Vander-jilt.-
His house Is 100 years older than
that of Marlborough. The mother of
Hoxburghe is the daughter of the
.'ourth duke of Marlborough.
Roxburghe comes of a fighting race.
One of his ancestors fell at Montrose In
the year 152(5. He Is devoted to his pro
fession, and his brother and heir. Lord

The Peruvian consul In Chicago, Leo
poldo Arnaud, has received word from
his government of the election of
Manuel Candamo, of Lima, as president,
and the announcement that the inaugu
ration ceremonies took place In the
Plaza do Lima, the capital of Peru, Sep
tember 8.
This is the first presidential election
In the little South American republic
that has not brought revolution and
bloodshed. The election of Candamo
places at the head of the government the
first man who was Unanimously chosen,
there being no opposition. Nicolas De
Pierola, who was nominated by the re
publicans, withdrew when the civil
party named Candamo. The new presi

of Peru and Is best known as the presi-

He received a thorough education

says, "is eminently fitted for the- position

course, the third brother, Lord Robert.
The duke of Roxburghe is the only
marriageable du'.;e In Scotland. He has
a r.recr frie from scandal, and a rent
roll of about $:soo,ooo a year.
There is only one handicap. Hox
burghe Is said not to have a clear title.
All the ingenuity of English chronolo
gies has failed to give an Indisputable
claim to his title, and from 180S to
K was not recognl.ed, and is still dis
puted In the English courts.
Lewis Ki r, a truckman In New York,
who for 40 years has bid for work at
Greene and Grand streets, claims the
titles and estates of the duke of Rox
burghe as his own. While Ker does not
expect to succeed In establishing his
right, he may yet resume the fight.
So good this claim seemed to him to
be In 1S:10 that Hamilton Fish devoted
noarly five years in England to the case
in behalf of Andrew Ker, Lewis Ker's
father. Thouph Hamilton Fish did not
succeed in establishing the rights of his
American client, he did succeed In so
completely breaking down the claims
of Sir James Henry Robert Innes-Ker,
grandfather of the present duke, that
the latter failed to have the dukedom
bestowed upon him and the title lapsed
for 5" years.
Miss May Goelet has been the heroine
of many stories. She has been reported
engaged innumerable times, and has
been the victim of two known matri
monial conspiracies, Induced by Impe
cunious bearers or titles, one or tnese,
it is alleged, being Prince Hugo von
Hohenlohe of Germany, who agreed to
pay 1o.noo to Capt. Ladestas de Pork
ony if he could procure consideration of
his proposal of marriage for Miss Goelet
This was four years ago, and If the
prince had not been 50 years of age the
match might have come off.
However, Miss Goelet objected to so
ancient a spouse, and the prince re
fused to pay the $10,000. This gave rise
to suit for the money, thus spreading
knowledge of the transaction. The
matter was finally settled by Hohen
lohe's aunt paying several hundred
pounds to the disgruntled Porkony.
Prince Helnrlch Haron, of Bohemia,
bIso desired the hand and fortune of the
young lady, and also was debarred by
his age, so report goes.
The duke of Manchester, the earl of
Shaftesbury and later the duke of Rox
burghe all have been reported betrothed
to Miss Goelet, with resulting denials
from Mrs. Goelet, until this authentic
news of her engagement to the duke of
Roxburghe was received the other day.
In appearance Miss Goelet Is petite,
and wears a charm of manner which
makes up for lack of actual beauty. She
Is a bright conversationalist, Is self-possessed
and "smart" looking. She dresses
exqul3itely, and has seen Just 21 sum
mers. Her mother and mother's sisters
have always been noted for their beauty.

morsel of raw meat as his reward at the
end of the play.
Bobs Is Miss Shannon's bodyguard and
he serves well for this purpose, his war

mashers or thugs. One night last sea
son while in a western town Miss Shan
non was on her way to her hotel after the
performance when a man slightly under
the Influence of liquor came up to speak
to her. Bobs observed the stranger and
noticed his approach to his miftress. He ;
bristled, showed his ugly teeth and gave
a growl that made the masher take to .
his heels. j
Nothing would induce the actress to
part with her pet, alt hough at times Bobs '
Is somewhat of a trial. He is playful, j
in hb cumbersome way, and Is as affec- i
donate as a kitten. He has a habit of i
trying to sit In Miss Shannon's lap when- i
ever she sits down, but as he I
weighs something like CO pounds i
he Is not exactly the sort of !
a lap dog a lady desires. Bobs Is particu
larly fond of sitting on the white cloth
which Miss Shannon has spread In her
dressing room to protect her costumes
and the dog generally manages to pet In
the way, so In order to keep him off the
white rug Miss Shannon's maid places
a white sheet In the far corner of the
dressing room and there Bobs Is coaxed
bpfore the process of dressing begins.
Being on a white rug he Is satisfied and
remains contentedly until called to go

Trot Devotion to 111 I'n
tbrrland, Don HaluiULdo Vlllaverde, Spain's
tew premier, Is one of the luckiest of
middle-class mortals. His parents were
modest, well-to-do country folk, but
there was no reason to suppose that their
boy was going to climb up to the highest
post within the gift of the Spanish peo
ple. He started out as a lawyer, endowed
with brains and an eloquent tongue, per
I severance and lots of ambition. There
I after the steps of fame were Interestingly
i marked. He had crowds of clients and
' was elected to parliament. Afterward
! he attracted attention by hard work,
participation- In every possible debate
and mastering all som of dry subjects.
' He was too busy to concern himself with
the brilliant aristocracy of Madrid,
which had shown some- Inclination to
'. take to Its bosom such a good-looking
, and promising young man.
He made a sudden dash Into society un
, der the wings of the duchess de Tenia,
at whose palace a guest could meet every
bodythe greatest politicians, artists
and men of science to be found In Madrid.
: The smart young member from Galicia
: soon made himself popular In this set
and for the first time seems to have been
deflected from his path to glory. So
mar.y Spanish beauties of high degree
lavished their affections on him that he
became for a while a veritable butterfly
of fashion,
j A rich and attractive woman, the mar
chioness of Pozo Rublo, offered to marry
the handsome young gallant and was
forthwith accepted. Senor Vlllaverde
then put a definite stop to all frivolity and
once more devoted himself to fruitful
labor for the welfare of his country, be
ing no longer required to sacrifice all

(New Premier of Spain Who Was Born
Under I.ucky Star.)
his time and talent to his profession,
Senor Villaverde studied assldulously so
cial and economical sciences, for which
he had always felt a predilection, and
through his great Intelligence soon rose
to preeminence. He was successively
named minister of Justice and of finance
to the general satisfaction.
The most Interesting period of Vnia
verde's political career began in 1899
after the disastrous war with the United
States. When the treaty of peace had
been signed and a new cabinet, presided
over by the leader of the conservative
party, Senor Sllvela, was formed, politi
cal men as well as the majority of the
people recognized the urgent necessity of
Introducing ample and radical reforms
Into all branches of public administra
tion and adopting a sound and liberal
policy apt to raise the credit of the land.
Senor Vlllaverde, who occupied in SII-
vela's cabinet the post of minister of
finance, brought a bill of taxation before
parliament, with which he intended to
Increase the Income of the treasury from
830,00n,on0 to 1,000,000,000 pesetas and
with his ppcullar energy and flrnness
he succeeded In having his project ap
proved.
But this heavy taxation raised such a
storm of protest throughout the whole
of Spain and so numerous and bloody
were the riots which It caused In various
provinces that Senor Vlllaverde was
obliged to send In his resignation and
two or three months afterward, partly
owing to this and partly to the unpopular
marriage of the princess of the Asturlns
with Pon Carlos of Bourbon, the whole
cabinet was also forced to resign. The
queen then decided to trust Vlllaverde
with the formation of a new ministry
but In consequence of the unpopularity
of his taxes, he found nobody disposed to
second htm In the work and therefore
he had to renounce the charge.
Later the announcement that the gov
emnipr.t, through Sr.or Sanchez Toca,
intended to bring a bill Into parliament
for the construction of the Act, was suf
fldont to call forth demonstrations of
hostility in the chamber of deputies, as
well as all ovr Spuln. Then King Al
phonso, Interpreting the desires of his
country, called on Senor Vlllaverde to
form a new cabinet. The elevation of
this distinguished statesman to the high
est office slgnlflps the triumph of a firm
and saving financial policy of Spain.
A Tax Extraordinary.
A tax on marriage Is still Imposed by
the proprietor of a leading Bombay ho
tel. In a revised tariff of prices the
dally charge for a single lady or gen
Unman is set down as five rupees, but If
the lady or gentleman be married th
charge will be seven rupees each. No ex
planatlon of this singular regulation la

danger. If this .microscopicanimalism could
be mncnined to a nze in proportion to its
ileulliiiess it would show like a giant python,
or tire tireaining ilraijon. 1 he one fact to
remember is that the germ is powerless to
harm the body when the blood is pure. It
is far easier to keep the germ out than to
drive it out after it obtains a hold in the
systrm. Dr. Pierce' Golden Medical Dis
covery is the most powerful and perfect of
Dioon puruymg meuicines. It increases the
quantity as well as the quality of the blood,
and enables the body to resist disease, or to
throw it off if disease has obtained a footing
in some weak organ. Wherever the diges
tion is impairrd, the nutrition of the body is
diminished, for the blood is nA'-' from the
food which is eaien, and half qpeslcd food
cannot supply the body with blood in quant
itv and Quality a'le.mate to its needs. For
this condition there is no remedy equal to
"Golden Medical Discovery." It cures
