DIVORCE SUIT OUT OF COMMON

(Copyright, 10OO, by Press Publishing Co.)
LONDON, Nov. 30. (New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram.) Tho suit
for divorce brought by tho beautiful young
marchioness of Anglesey ngnlnit her hus
band, Henry Cyril Paget, fifth marquis of
Anglesey, was foreseen here, since within
a month after tholr marrlago they sepa
rated ou tho Riviera. Tho marquis has
sluco devoted himself to his favorite pas
time of skirt dancing and last year ho ap
peared at a music hall in Munich lit Imita
tion of Lole Fuller's dances.
The marquis of Anglesey Is tho head of
tho famous l'aget family and Is a cousin
of, Almerlc Hugh Paget, con-ln-law of
William C. Whitney of New York, and
of Sydney and Arthur Paget. Ho
Is only 25 years old and suc
ceeded to bis title on the death of
his father, two yearH ago. lie Is a thor
oughly offctutnnto looking young follow and
ho may be seen when in Paris walking
around with n toy terrier under his arm,
tho pet being heavily scented and bediz
ened with bangles and bows. Tho ringers
of the marquis fairly blazo with rings.
lie presents the characteristics of tho
Oypsy type.
Two years ago tho marquis of Anglesey,
then enrl of Uxbrldgo, married the beauti
ful Miss Chejwyud, daughter of Sir (leorge
Chetwynd, tho marchioness of Hastings.
Sho Is only CO years old, of beautiful and
refined features, with violet oyes and
masses of Venetian red hair. Her expres
sion Is sad nnd wistful. Tho young
marchioness went to Paris after she sepa
rated from tha marquis In tho honeymoon.
Her huslHind made her a handsome allow
ance, n $00,000 Income. Iluforo marriage
Anglesey presented her with $350,000 worth
of Jewels. She Is said to havo strong
religious leanings.
Vlalteil In Amcrlcu Onor.
Just after the marquis of Anglesoy camo
into his title by the doath of his father, In
1S93, ho paid a visit to America. He was
the guest of his cousin, Almorlo Paget.
When ho depnrted for England ho took
away a French bulldog and in soma way
violated tho regulations governing tho Im
portation of dogs, for which he wa3 lined
100. While In Now York City ho attende'd
the horso show of 1S98 with Mr. and Mrs.
Almerlc Paget.
Wheu ho married Mlas Chetwynd ho was
congratulated. Tho separation was a nlno
days' wonder. It was said at the tlmo that
bo m a do the financial terms of tho separa
tion of such a nature that It would bo an
Inducement for his wife to remain away
from him, as each succeeding year's allow
ance was an increase over that of the
previous, year. Tho marquis Is descended
from nu eccentric family. His mother, who
was u beautiful woman, was bo unhappy
with her husband that sho committed
suicide. Sho was the charming Hlancho
Mary Boyd, His father married In 1&S0 tho
widow of Henry Wodehouse, who was born
Mary Livingston King of Georgia. He had
promised to wed another American woman,
the divorced wife of William Wetmoro of
Nrjv York City, who afterwards polioned
horself, The Anglesey tltlo was won by
Lord Uxbrldgo on the Held of Waterloo.
From the sccno of war to the scenes of tho
stage Is the descent of the title.
As a Hehtnlng chRngo artist In Munich tho
present marquis appeared at first In costume
characteristic of different nations. Ills
talent tn making up Is said to be marvelous,
With an Income of $1,000,000 a year, he was
not particular about his salary, so long as he
could Indulge In his strange, wild freak.

Tho titled members of the family hnve
borno reputations more or less savory. Ono
of the first holders of tho mnrqulslte wns
twice directly concerned In divorce proceed
ings before tho Houbc of Lords. After
obtaining u dlvoreo ho wns named hs co
respondent In a caso In which tho husband
was awarded $100,000 damages. The father
of the present marquis wa3 n gay man.
When ho married nud settled down his past
sins rose before htm. One day thcro was
a light fire In the Anglesey's castle, Plas
Newydd, and n lot of hand grenades were
ordered to guard against future emergencies.
The butler hung up tho grenades in every
placo ho could think of and having n dozen
left npproached the marquis, saying:
"What shall I do with these?"
The marquis thought u moment nnd then
said radly: "You may put them In my
codln."
Honsatlonal testimony Is expected at the
trial of the dlvoreo suit brought by tho
present mnrchloness of Anglesoy ngalnBt
her husband, who Is her cousin as well.
It Is said that the marrlago was ono of
convenience for tho purpose of Inheriting
property which could not bo reached by
either singly. It is rumored that the
marchioness, who had agreed to lead her
own life, retaining hor niimo nnd title, re
peuted of her bargain, and, If successful, it
Is rumored she will marry Count Herman
von Ilatzfeldt.

MAY REDUCE WAR TAXES
AVn nnd Menu Committee tn Con
sider .Mutter In CiiticitH With
in ii Miort Time.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10. Representative
I'ayno of New York, chairman of the ways
and means committee of tho house, had a
conference with the president yesterday.
Mr. I'ayno said after leaving tho White
House that he would call a meeting of the
republican members of his committee for
November 20 to outline a partial program
for executive work lit tho house for tho ap
proaching session.
Ono of tho nutters to como before this
meeting will bo tho proposed reduction of
war revenue taxes. He did not think, how
ever, that tho reduction would exceed, $ir,
000,000, or less than one-fifth nf the pres
ent revenues from that pouroc. Much, he
thought, would depend on the. state of af
fairs In tho Philippines when the bill camo
up for consideration, lf a considerable nrmy
had to be mnlntnlned there for any length
of time It might be thought wise not to cut
down tho revenues too much. There were,
howover, a number nf Items In tho present
law that might be wisely eliminated nnd
these would receive attention. Mr. I'ayno
said ho thought the ship subsidy bill would
bet taken up nnd nn effort made to pass It
nt tho coming session.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10. LlentenntU do
Farramond, Krench naval nttnrho here, has
been making Inquiries as to Amorlcan coal
along tho same lines an the French am
bassador, M. Haul Catnbnn. at London, the
purpose being lo ascertain If the American
product Is available In place nf the Welsh
coal and tho French brlquott, which ure
now used by French naval vehsels. As n
means of testing tho American coal, Lieu
tenent du Furrnmnnd shipped 300 tous tu
Martinique and about 700 tons to the
French naval slat ion at New Fouudland.
The erulsir Coiillo, now In American
waters, took on n supply of tho American
coal, and has found II very satisfactory.
The tests on tho Sfnx havo not been as
satisfactory, although this is attributed to
tho construction of tho French grates,
which aro mndn to accommodate tho largo
briquettes. Tho result of tho shipments
to New Foundlnnd has not been reported.
On tho whole. Lieutenant do Farramond's
observations lend him (n tho conviction that
American coal Is a satisfactory substltuto
for tho Cardiff and other classes of coal
herntoforo used exclusively on French ves
sels. MiieAiiliur'x CnMiuilty 1,1st.
