BARONESS BLANC.
She Comes Serenely to the Surface with
Another Captive.
Chicago, May 14.—The Baroness
Blanc is registered at the Hotel Nor
mandie as Mrs. Shirley Onderdonk. She
is said to have been married to Onder
donk a few days ago in Montreal,
Canada.
Shirley Onderdonk is a son of the
millionaire north side contractor. The
Onderdonks are social leaders, and Mrs.
Onderdonk’s reception to World’s Fair
notables is still remembered with pleas
ure by the 4(55.
Last fall Baroness Blanc installed her
self in a house in the very heart of the
north side social center. There were
many queer tales told about the house
and its occupants. Shirley Onderdonk
was a regular caller. His parents ob
jected, but this only increased his infat
uation for the baroness. Then the
baroness was approached. Wouldn’t
she please go away and let Shirley
alone?
Yes, if her expenses for a trip aroun d
the world were paid. The Onderdonks
told her they would consider her propo
sition, and a few days later she was in
formed that she could go to Europe at
the Onderdonks’ expense. Sh? took the
preferred expense money, and then fan
up to Montreal, wired for Shirley, mar
ried him and returned to the Hotel Nor
mandie on Michigan avenue, near
Twelfth str'et, where she is now stay
ing with her mother, Mrs. Nicholson.
Attorney Theodore Case, who repre
sents the baroness, says the marriage is
a fact. Andrew Onderdonk, the young
man’s father, is out of the city. Shirley
is also missing.
TWICE DIVORCED.
And Wife Number 1 Will Become Wife
Number 3 to Dr. Thrift.
Providence, May 14.—Dr. Frederick
Thrift, dentist, has been granted a di
vorce. He was principal in another di
vorce case four years ago. His first
wife charged him with cruelty, She
testified that he hacked her clothing to
pieces, drove her barefooted out into the
snow and stayed in love with his old
girls. So the wife was granted a di
vorce and the custody of their soli. A
little girl is the fruit of the second un
ion.
The second wife is a devout Catholic,
while Dr. Thrift is the leader cf a Pro
testant Sunday school. The wife insist
ed upon having her babe brought up in
the Catholic faith, but the doctor and
his mother resisted. Finally she left
his home.
Dr. Thrift’s mother kept the baby for
a while, but the wife finally got it and
had it christened to her liking.
Before the doctor had left the court
room it was stated by a close friend of
his that Mrs. Thrift No. 1 would now
become Mrs. Thrift No. 3. The doctor’s
affection for his son would bring about
the union, it was said.
CONFIDENCE RESTORED.
Witnesses Against Carnegie Feel Reas
sured by Herbert’s Decisive Action.
Pittssurg, May 14.—The information
that Secretary Herbert has started in to
strip the defective armor plate from the
sides of the Monterey at San Francisco
was received with great joy by the mill
workers here and and at Homestead.
There is no denying the fact that Cap
tain Sampson’s secret session in the heart
of “Fort Frick,” and the selection by
the ordnance bureau officers of the
swell Duquesne club as their headquar
ters in town created a bad impression.
Attorney Wallace has had difficulty
in keeping all his clients in line, so d.j
turbed were the ex-Carnegie employes,
like McLuckie, at the idea of having to
go into the mill to tell the government
representatives how Uncle Sam has been
defrauded.
Secretary Herbert’s decisive action
has restored confidence. No one doubts
how that the navy department is in ear
nest, and that the whole scandal will be
brought to light. Mr. Herbert has had
drawings of several of the Monterey's
rotten armor plates in his possession for
months.
These Have Too Much Protection.
St. John, N. 8., May 14.—The em
ployes of the Cold Brook Rolling Mills,
one of the largest iron manufacturing
industries in the province, have been no
tified of a reduction in wages on May
21. The manager says that it is made
necessary by the high duty placed on
iron. The Dominion government, 1 s
said, discriminates against Canadian
rolling mills in favor of the iron mines
in Nova Scotia.
Bound to His Ear.
Huntington, W. Va., May 14.—Dr.
C. K. Harris, of Noland, had a quarrel
with a railroad employe. The doctor
received two shots—one in the arm and
one in the wrist—and the railroad em
ploye lost one of his ears. The man
with the detached ear took it in his
pocket to Dingess and had a physician
sew it back on his head.
New York to Build a Circus.
New York, May 14.—The New York
Circus company has been formed, which
proposes to issue bonds and stock to the
par value of $2,000,00(1, with which to
erect a mammoth building in which to
have a permanent circus, on the plan of
those in London and Paris.

ROSEBERY’S RESOLVE.
lie Ha. No Idea of Surrender—Harcourt
Still Stands Firm.
London, May V.—“lf the govern
ment had only a majority of two, it
would persevere and fight to the end
the battle it has undertaken,” declared
Prime Minister Rosebery at a political
reception at the National Liberal club.
Commenting on the cry of the daily
press that the government is in a criti
cal condition, he observed that “all
governments are always in a critical
condition.”
He fails to understand, he said, what
any party having home rule at heart,
would gain by a deliberate attempt to
upset the government.
Sir William Harcourt, Liberal leader
in the house of commons, said he was
glad to assure his friends that he is
neither dead nor dying and is not aware
of even being blind. He has no inten
tion of deserting the Liberal party. The
government has a stiff fight on hand
and the burden falls upon him. He has
met “John Barleycorn’’ and cannot say
whether Barleycorn will prevail. But if
the government is destroyed on the bud
get the principles on which the budget
was founded will not be destroyed.
Rosebery Is Getting There.
London, May I;.—Lord Rosebery’s
Ladas won the 2,000 guineas stakes at
Newmarket. Lord Arlington’s Match
box was second, and Sir J. Blundell
Maple’s Athlone third. Ladas won
easily by a length and a half. Match
box finished second, six lengths ahead
of Athlone, who was only half a length
ahead of St. Florian. When Lord Rose
berry was a boy at Eton, he is reported
to have made a wager that he would
wed the heiress of the season, become
the prime minister and win the derby.
In due time he married Miss Hannah de
Rothschild; he is now premier, and this
triumph on the turf makes it fairly cer
tain that he will capture the derby also.
A NEW BOND ISSUE.
Gold Dwindles in the Treasury and the
Talk Begins Again.
Washington, May ... —The reduc
tion of the treasury gold below $94,000,-
000 has started a new speculation as to
a new bond issue. When the recent
bond issue was made the treasury gold
had declined to $65,000,000, but with
the present high rate of exchange it is
known that gold will flow from us.
Secretary Carlisle did not deem it wise
to permit the gold reserve to fall below
$65,000,000, and it is argued that he
will not now permit it to fall below that
figure.
The temper of congress is such that
no legislation is expected on financial
measures to strengthen the treasury, so
it leaves the secretary with no discretion
except to use the means the law gives
him by selling bonds to replenish the
treasury when it is depleted of gold. So
far no step looking towards a bond issue
have been taken, and if the gold output
ceases none will be necessary, but among
well informed treasury officials, if the
present conditions continue, a bond is
sue in the near future is looked upon as
almost unavoidable.
COXEY’S CHANGE.
The Army Leaves Washington for More
Pleasant Quarters in Maryland.
Washington, May If.. —The start of
Coxey’s army from Camp Tyrrany for
Bladensburg was made promptly at 9
a. m. The army, with its recent acces
sions, numbered 525 men according to
Carl Browne’s figures; but it numbered
less than 100 of those who crossed the
mountains.
There was a hot sun shining but it
was tempered with a pleasant breeze,
and the tramps seemed to appreciate the
change from their unhealthy quarters
as a picnic; particularly as the commis
sary wagons were well supplied for sev
eral days at least.
As a dime drawing attraction the
army had ceased to pay in the city
and Friday, in order to get anything
like a crowd, one of the wagons had to
be driven through the streets displaying
a big placard, “Admission free to the
Coxey camp today.”
The new camp is situated at a pleas
ant driving distance of about six miles
northeast of this city.
The army marched around the Capi
tol grounds, out Maryland avenue to
Fifteenth street northeast and thence
along the Bladensburg road to their new
camping ground. It has been deter
mined that they will never be permitted
to return to the city.
Marylanders Kick Against Coxey.
Baltimore, May If. Governor
Brown har received a number of pro
tests against the invasion of Maryland
by Coxey’s army, but says that unless
trouble of a serious nature should de
velop he has no authority to act.
Coxey’s Motion Set for Tuesday.
Washington, May I?.—The motion
for a new trial in the case of Coxey,
Browne and Jones, will be called up
Tuesday.
No Hope for Mrs. Maybrick.
London, May 15.—Home Secretary

her hqsband, or even to reopen the case
for the purpose of introducing new evi
dence.

“Advertising is Iron In the Blood!”
SO SAID, but it is true only when you have something to say—not a
mere employment of sapless words —a repetition of an oft-told tale.
A syllabled truth: When we advertise we think we have some
thing to say. If we fail to do it, the fault is with us, not the
subject.
Another word about the Flemister goods—the large stock of fine
merchandise recently bought in Griffin from the court officer and
shipped to Rome, and the Parks goods. We confess to a business
policy—all business people must have it. The season of the year
made it our policy to put forward the heavy weight goods first,
Holding in Reserve the Light Weights
AS LONG as possible- Cannot do it longer. These days of frisky
