THE BLENHEIM PJLACE.
MONUMENT TO THE SERICES OF
THE DUKE OF MARLBOPUGH.
tto Marvelous Beauty and health of
Traditiona-Honora WhiclMay Fall
to an American Girl. i
From the Boston Iferrl
Blenheim is the grandest paliJ in all Eng
land, barring the Queen's bestjceidence nt
Windsor. It Ls also the most iicresfyng and
fruitful in historic lore. It v* built by the
F.nglish jieople to illusbraWtud preserve
the fame of the great Duke (Atari boro ugh,
both in the intrigues of politts and on the
field of battle. By far it isle of the best
monuments to commemorut distinguished
services to be seen in the lilted Kingdom.
Were it nearer London it ould be a more
favorite spot for visitors tin Windsor or
any other of the historical bjeots about the
great city. It is so rich i memories of the
past, fruitful in reflectionspon the present
and suggestions for the iture, that one
stands within its gates a sfcient of the won
derful history of England Its marvelous
beauty is second only to he grand tradi
tions it recalls.
The Duke of Marlborcgta, whose great
doeds this palace comnienrates, was a King
in intellect and power, he present Duke
of Marlborough is a gentnnau of superior
intellect, but unambitiou for political or
military distinction. TV touch the spirit
and purpose of life alongtsdifferent grades
is an interesting pastiivn Degrees of hu
man nature are best studid in this way. It
is easy to get well at a an in his' own
house, and people are syn at their best
when hedged about with he liberties and
restrictions of tlieir own homes. This is
particularly so in Old Euguid, where each
house preserves and presets the history of
centuries that belong to it. I do not won
der that the dukes and lore of the present
day take a pride in their acestors, for they
left them
GREAT ESTATES, MONE3AND POWER.
Heirlooms worthy of prie are these great
parks, with their wnndcful houses and
quaint lodges, filled with he recollections
of years, which stand as enolem? of the re
ward a grateful Deople payfor public ser
vices, either in the realm o politics or the
cruel exactions of mifitarylife. There are
many of these old relics ofthe past, grand
monuments marking an arstocratie era and
act, scattered all over Engand. They are
full of the evidences of a treat civilization
and of mighty conquests.
Blenheim palace, the pinnaae of this sen
timent, is situated on broad afes that have
been for centuries royal posessions. All
about it are the evidences and Homan and
Saxon life, and each acre is liaded with the
history of conquest, peaeefu and warlike.
There has been in Oxfordhire, of which
Blenheim is a part, so mull of royal in
trigue that a goodly portUx of it was, years
ago, purchased by the government of Brit
ain as the home of the mm who was strong
est in his military power, nore audacious in
his political ambitions, aid more voracious
for wealth than any oth<r citizen or soldier
who helped to make her history. The old
Duke was a sleek citien aud a wonderful
soldier. Upon him England showered groat
distinction and fabulots wealth. His plot
tings against King AViliam were hushed in
the strength of his miitarv fame, and his
efforts to incite an insirrection for the re
storation of Janies an to-day regarded as
rather examples of wislom und courage than
as scandals upon his nUne. The family the
great Duke founded !us, in a greater or less
degree, now and then exhibited his leading
Characteristics. He loved power, was
mighty in intellect, and coveted riches more
than anything on eartli In all his life this
trait was uppermost, and the value of his
conquests were reckoner by him in dollars
and cents.
Blenheim Park, in Woodstock, is sixty
five miles from Londiii, and is reachod by
an easy ride through some of the loveliest
pictures of Englisl country life. It is
twelve miles arounn this country seat, which
is decorated with e T erything that can dem
onstrate
THE GREATNESS OF MARLBOROUGH,
and the affection in which he was held by
the people at the time of this royal bequest.
A great shaft, more the,- 100 feet high, rises
hear the palace proclaiming his many vic
tories ana recording his valiant deeds. It
supports a heroic statue of the remarkable
soldier. There are miles of graveled walks
and beautiful roads through the park and
about the palace. A lovely lake, fringed
with shrubbery and filled with all the at
tractive tilings which a lavish expenditure
of money could provide, charms the eye.
Great groves nil the acros dedicated" to
memories of the mighty past, and the grand
old trees sot in long, regular rows, or scat
tered about haphazard, furnish shelter for
splendid herds of domestic animals or for
Hu abundance of game. A spot for such a
purpose could not have been better chosen.
The land it occupies is of that complexion
which gives just enough of a rolling char
acter to relievo the monotony of flatness
which cliaracterizes some parts of England.
Caro and money have been so properly
blended in laying out the grounds and in
decorating them, that one feels after a drive
through them the very climax of beauty of
construction and location is here. All about,
everything shows neatness and attention.
The shrubbery is beautiful ami varied. The
house is more attractive, if possible, than
the ground. It is uniuuo in its construction,
bold in outline and delicate in relief. Truly,
it is a palace! Its style of architecture is
very striking. Itdoes not follow tho antique
lines, but is freer and broader, belong
ing to the renaissance period. Hut the
exterior of the house is not so material as
the interior, with its wealth of traditions.
Like all old English residences of its
class, everywhere on its walls and in its halls
are
RELICS OF BY-GONE DAYS,
kept to reflect the greatness or record the
history of those who have gone liefore. Its
limits are broad enough to accommodate
many a score of visitors, should they at any
time decide to enjoy the hospitality of its
master. Statuary stands in every niche
and corner, as paintings hung upon every
wall. It is the mode in these abodes of roy
alty to load tho walls with the portraits of
men and women.both when they were young
and old, who by chance may have been born
ill the lineal descent to the head of tho Louse.
Blenheim is perhups ahead of all otliors in
keeping faith with this custom. How broad or
long this magnificent house is is immaterial.
It covers acres, and everywhere there are
great parlors, cozy sitting rooms, spacious
• moking rooms lounging places and bed
chambers half as large as an American
house, all sumptuously furnished, and bear
ing in every part the figures of a mighty
jiasr and the reflection of a curious present.
The fruits of conquest are abundant, be
cause this house grew out of the ashes of
we;-. The dining hall, hung with its dra
pery for the feast, and other quaint remind
ers of aristocratic conditions, isa marvel of
[icautyand completeness. The family plate
is rich in history in itself, and Is ample for
more than a hundred guests, which some
time., are found aliout this hospitable board.

I'ient to the old Duke, and cost or

When tho present Duke of Marlborough

nificent old palace, 1 could not but help
■nuee upon what had occurred many time*
around this bonrd and within these historic
walls.

every era in the history of the nation,
i of a great power ore numerous and
suggestive. The ability to make and un
| make men is one of the greatest charms of
! public life. Marlborough not only created
and destroyed whom lie pie ,sed, but played
with governments almost r , a child tosses
his football about. Here are the evidences
of liis conquests, passing down from one
generation to another, illustrating hischar
acterand teaching mankind how mighty is
o:ie man’s will lor good or evil.”
Blenheim Palace has been somewhat
marred since the old Duke died. Thirteen
years ago tb > father of the i resent life tenant
s Id a part of the (state for something like a
SIOO,OOO. In 1875 he parted with the family
gems for about sl-5,000. Four years ago he
sold the magnificent library with all its an
cient and wonderful volumes for something
like $300,000. Why this forage upon the
property which came down from past gen
erations freighted with the family history
in its ancient and best days? It is a common
rumor in England that the father sold the
library, gems and a part of the estate, so
that Lord Randolph Churchill, the younger
brother of the present Duke, might have
the income with which to
MAKE HIS MARK IN THE WORLD.
The father is said to have liked Lord Ran
dolph much better than the eldest son, and
therefore his dismantlement of Blenheim for
his benefit. The Duke of Marlborough ought,
nevertheless, to he a rich man. The statis
tics say that his father left him £1411,000.
The same authority says he was left, in addi
tion To personalty, 28,571 acres of land, the
rentals of which are put down at about.
$150,000 per annum. Besides this, he has
various perquisites, which amount to con
siderably more. These figures seem very
large, hut it Wits a mint of money to keep
up this magnificent, establishment, where
company is plenty, and the cost of main
tenance is beyond comparison with anything
known in the new world. The present
Duke, following the example of liis father,
has also parte l with a a few things from
Blenheim. Only recently he sold tho Ma
dmna’by Raphael for something like $300,-
000, and most of the English people say that
never was money so foolishly expended.
Yet thousands go to tho national gallery
to see it, because it came from the palace
and cost so much monov.
Beside giving him Blenheim Palace, the
English government in 1704 granted tho old
Duke of Marlborough a pension of about
$20,000 a year, to descend to his family for
nil time. Some three years ago the present
head of the Marlborough Palace, observing
the growing animosity to pensions of this
character, commuted this bequest and re
ceived half a million dollars for his right.
Thus the coming Duke loses the pension
which has gone to the family since 1704.
The common talk of the clubs is that he is
providing for a rainy day, and that the
millon dollars of money which he has
received within the past few years has
been
INVESTED IN AMERICAN SECURITIES,
so placed that in ease of emergency his fu
ture would be assured. This may or may
not be true, but the fact remains that the
Duke of Marlborough is regarded as a sin
gular man. Some say that he is a far-seeing
man, and he may rea l in tho present agit.a
tion a future ill-feeling toward royalty, es
pecially such royalty as lives upon the repu
tation of its ancestors and the bounty of the
government. The Duke of Marlborough is
a very able man. He rarely ever appears
in the House of Lords, but when he does, lie
speaks well and his remarks command at
tention. Ho is only 42 years old. In stature
he is hardly of medium size. His features
are clean-cut and denote firmness and in
telligence. He has a piercing eye and a
pleasant expression or countenance that
evinces good humor and perfect self-posses
sion. Had he devoted himself to politics as
he lias to the pleasure of the drawing room,
he would have made a strong mark upon
the higher life of Great Britain. His pas
times have consumed so much of his atten
tion that public life has been cheated of
his best intellectual powers. It is still said of
him, notwithstanding its lack of attention
to important matters, that should England
reach some trying emergency, the Du.ic of
Marlborough would be a very strong man
in her councils and, perchance, in the
field.
Lord Randolph Churchill, his lirother, is a
few years younger than the Duke, a very
brilliant and erractic man. He has neither
the power or the brain of his older brother,
but be has the restless, ambitious, forceful
disposition which make him powerful and
weak by turns. Yet he has dene great
things At less than 40 years of age he has
been Chancellor of tho Exchequer, ami is
ambitious to be Premier. He is a man of
many res mrres and considerable talent. lie
is small of stature and nervous of action.
Taking the two sons together, they illustrate
in many ways tho
WEAK AND FORCEFUL CHARACTERISTICS
of the Marlborough strain which this palace
and all its surroundings were created to
glorify. The elder in the restful, intellec
tual hero of the Churchill family. The other
the restless, ambitious, combative and will
ful spirit who represents the aggression of
the elder Marlborough, without his physi
cal or intellectual powers. He will succeed
to the title and estate which follow Blen
heim palace if anything should happen to
his brother, the Duke of Marlborouga. No
master of this magnificent estate is more
than a life tenant. Each occupant must
hand it over some day to the oldest son in
the proper line of descent. Thinking of
this point, I could not help but reflect that
ono day au American girl may be mistress
of this imjiortant hoUse. When Miss
Jerome married Lord Randolph, I wonder
if she had in her miud a life on this luxur
ious scale. Her uncle Larry Jerome, was
present on the occasion which gave me the
chance for a description of this remarkable
estate. He quaintly observed that his niece
might some time in the future fittingly
woar the honors which belong to this estab
lishment. If this should be true, this Ameri
can girl would have a grander house and
a more dignified and lasting position than
tho wife of the President or the United
States.
Blenheim Palace lacks a young mistress,
as well as some other features of its early
life. The present Duchess is tho mothor of
the present heirs to this state and title.
Tho wife of Marlborough was releosod from
him through the divorce courts a few years
ago. Tho Duchess is well along in years, and
it is said of her that she is very fond of her
younger soil, and that when sho dies Lord
Randolph Churchill will be rich. As money
is a very important element in
the support of political ambition, a
good round sum would not bo unwelcome to
tho liveliest politician in England. Aside
from those Bide lights of a great name and
the reflections of a great name as it can tie
seen in these Ixiautilm grounds, ami in this
groat palace, there is so much of interest, so
much of beauty, so much for study, that
one feels ini]ielied to 'drop reflections upon
the past, criticism of th- present, and
tbouguts of tho future, in admiration of tho
liberality, judgment and taste which Blen
heim Palace illustrates. Frank Burr.

THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1887.
GOV, FORA K EITS SILENCE,
MAKING CAPITAL OUT OF THE
MRS. CLEVELAND EPISODE.
He Does Not Deny It, Nor Will He Say
It Is True—Gen. Bushnell, of the
Governor’s Staff, Declares that the
Governor and His Wife Were Grossly
Insulted.
From the New York Worid.
Columbus, 0., Sept. 20. —The World
correspondent asked Gov. Foraker today to
state what truth there was in the published
report that Mrs. Cleveland treated Mrs.
Foraker and himself with marked coldness
at the President’s reception in Philadelphia
last week. His reply was:
“I do not care to make any statement
concerning the matter. There were others
who saw what Mrs. Foraker and I did and
I refer you to them.”
“But can you not say definitely, in a sin
gle word, whether Mi’s. Cleveland treated
Mrs. Foraker and yourself, or either of you,
with discourtesy?”
“I shall say nothing about it. I leave it
to others to talk about the matter.”
“Mr. Thompson, of Philadelphia, says in
a private statement, that ho stood beside
Mrs. Cleveland, and that when, at frequent
intervals, she became weary of handshaking
he personally directed the line of callers to
}iass on without this form of salutation, and
that this happened to be the case when you
and Mrs, Foraker reached Mrs. Cleveland,
without any intention on her part to omit
you and without Mrs. Cleveland’s knowl
edge of your proximity,” said the corres
pondent. “What do you know about this?”
“1 know nothing.”
“Mr. Thompson further states that there
was no disrespect shown or intended toward
you. From Mr. Thompson’s position at the
reception would he be capable of forming a
correct judgment?”
“1 know nothing about Mr. Thompson
and cannot say.”
“And you will not answer ‘yes’ or ‘no’
to the question whether disrespect was
'shown you?”
“1 have already said I will not make a
statement one way or the other about the
matter.”
Whatever may be the facts in the case, it
is evident that Gov. Foraker is willing to
have the impression go abroad here in Ohio
that Mrs. Cleveland treated Mrs. Foraker
and himself with the rudest discourtesy,
without himself being responsible for the
statement. It has been seized upon by the
Ohio Republican leaders ns a campaign issue,
and the Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette,
Cleveland Leader, Columbus Journal and
the other organs came out this morning with
an identical statement that the President
and Mrs. Cleveland made a private agree
ment that the latter was to publicly insult
the Governor and his wife because Gov.
Foraker compared the President to a dog.
Having agreed upon this story all the organs
join in denouncing President Cleveland as a
“cowardly cur for not insulting Ohio’s war
like Governor instead of delegating the
dangerous undertaking to his wife. ’
The Republican organs and orators are
determined to run the campaign on a very
high plane. Senator Sherman has not yet
consented to make a speech criticising Mr.
Cleveland, but as Foraker and his friends
count him entirely out of the Presidential
race it probably does not matter.
SILENCE IN WASHINGTON.
Washington, Sept. 20. —No official state
ment regarding the alleged snubbing of
Gov and Mrs. Foraker at Philadelphia by
Mrs. Cleveland can be obtained at the
White House. Neither the President nor
Mrs. Cleveland will consent to be inter
viewed on the subject. The friends of Gov.
Foraker construe the silence at the White
House into an admission of the charge.
No one disputes tho fact that Mrs. Cleve
land did not shake hands with the Governor
of Ohio or his wife. Whether the omission
to do so was intended as a snub is known
only to Mi’s. Cleveland, and unless she
makes known her intentions it will proba
bly remain a mystery. It is quite evident
that Gov. Foraker belives that he was
snubbed ami will endeavor to make what
capital he can out of it in the Ohio cam
paign.
Cincinnati, Sept. 20. —Gov. Foraker
went to Georgetown, 0., to-day to attend a
reunion of his regiment, the Eighty-ninth
Ohio. He arrived at noon, aud was met at
the depot by the members of the command,
a band and a vast gathering of citizens. A
carriage was provided for him, but he de
clined it, and marched with the veterans to
the place of meeting.
GEN. BUSHNELL SPEAKS FOR HIM.
Springfield, 0., Sept. 20. —In an inter
view this evening with a representative of
the Associated Press, Gen. A. S. Bushnell, a
member of Gov. Foraker’s staff, authorized
the following statement concerning Mrs.
Cleveland’s reception of Gov. and Mrs. For
aker at the Academy in Philadelphia last
Friday evening:
“Preceded by Gov. Beaver, of Pennsylva
nia, and his staff, Gov. and Mrs. Foraker,
and our party advancod to be received.
Gov. Beaver and party were warmly greet
ed by both the President and Mrs. Cleve
land, who shook hands with them cordially.
President Cleveland then shook hands with
Gov. Foraker, hut his face was as expres
sionless as that of a sphinx. The Governor
presented Mrs. Foraker and the President
shook hands with her.
“Gov. Foraker was then introduced to
Mrs. Cleveland, and extended his hand to
her. She ;>aid no attention to his profferrod
hand, but, taking a half-step backward and
folding her hands, she stared straight at
him without a sign of recognition. Appa
rently giving no hoed to this direct cut, the
Governor presented Mrs. Foraker. Mrs.
Cleveland still stood with folded hands, de
clining Mrs. Foraker’s extended hand, and
acknowledging her presence only by a freez
ing inclination of her head.
“Gen. Axline and his wife wore presented
to the President and Mrs. Cleveland, and
both shook hands with them, and immedi
ately afterward Mrs. Bushnell and myself
were introduced and were received in the
same cordial manner. The cut of Gov. and
Mrs. Foraker whs Hindu more diroct by our
reception than it would have been haul Mrs.
Cleveland not shaken hands with the re
mainder of tho Ohio party.
It lias been stated that Mrs. Cleveland
was riot slinking hands with any of her
guests, but that is a great mistake, for
she received both those who preceded and
those who followed Gov. and Mrs. Foraker
very cordially. Regret was expressed on
all sides that the incident should have oc
curred, for everybody felt that Mrs. Cleve
land, as the first, lady of the land, could not
afford to snub the Chief Magistrate of the
third State in the Union, to suy nothing of ]
the affront to a lady of Mrs. Foraker’s j
beautiful character.”

What They Say of Them in Europe.
INQUIRIES everywhere, even from rival mak
er*, have elicited the same reply that Mason

perfection, and thoroughly deserve the hun
dreds of medals, etc., which they have received
as awards in all countries. 1 recently saw the
gold medal which was presented to them at the

Wyom, and is a true work of art.
One could not spend a pleasanter morning
anywhere than in the music room of the agents
for these organs. There will bo found all sorts
and conditions of American organs from those

carried to a camp meeting in a quiet by street
to the famous Liszt model, which has no rival
for power and lienuty of tone There is also the
Queen's model, which received her majesty's
warmest approbation. The Loudon music room
of this firm, with its comfortable lounges and
old engravings, is open to nil comers, and there
you w ill meet in Its precincts the most cele
brated musicians of the day. Many of them
come and listen with rapt attention and admira
tion to the brilliant improvisation of celebrated
organists, who are always kind enough to play
for visitors who wish to hear them. Here you
will sometimes find Sir Arthur Sullivan. Sir
George Grove, Maud Valerie White. Gwyllym
Crowe, Charles Godfrey (Horse Guards), Huca
lossi, Lawrence Kellie, and even, on some morn
ings. the beautiful Mary Anderson and the gifted
Mrs Kendall; but indeed, as every one goes
