Americans by his efforts to force his way
into the Sanford family against the wishes
of the grandfather of tho young woman,
whom the Briton has deigned to honor, is
one of the host known men about town in

grandfather refuses to give his grandchild
into tlte hands of tho man as a husband.
He does not regard the honor of her marry
ing a Peel very highly, apparently not
seeing tho matter in the light that young
Pell regards it. He is a grandson of the
famous free trade Prime minister and

Nevertheless, he continued his extrava

SENATOR STEWART A CO-RE
SPON DENT.
The Nevada Statesman Involved in a
Washington Divorce Suit.
From the Philadelphia Press.
Washington, Aug. 27.—Senator Stewart
of Nevada has been named as co-re
spondent by Charles L. Glasscock of this
city, who has filca a suit for absolute
divorce from his wife. To-night Senator
Stewart made this statement.
‘‘About a year and a half ago the wo
man Glasscock came to me as a southern
lady in great distress. • She represented
that she had five children: that her hus
band was unable to support them; that
they were sintering for food and clothing.
She said she was willing to work in any
capacity, and wanted me to get her em
ployment in some of the departments. I
applied to the interior department for
her, but they had no place. A few times
afterward she came to my office, al
ways suggesting some way that
through my influence she could
get work, and always representing
the great distress that she and her fam
ily were suffering. At one time she came
on a cold, rainy day, and said that they
had no coal, and she and her .children
were suffering. 1 gave her $5 to buy coal.
At another time she sent her little girl to
me with a letter stating that one of her
children had the typhoid fever and that
she had no money to buy medicine, and
unless she could get money the child
would probably die. I sent her a few dol
lars—l do not remember how many.
“On one or two other occa9ious she ob
tained money from me for like charities,
and finally she commenced writing let
ters, assuming that improper relations
existed between us, and that I had more
to lose than she had. I mot her at the
Capitol one afternoon as 1 was going
through the corridors, and told her that
those were blackmailing letters, and that
1 was bound from that time on*to treat
her as a blackmailer.
LEGAL ACTION BEGUN.
“A few days after this I received a let
ter from an attorney, Mr. Carrington,
asking me if I had any reason to give why
Mr. Glasscock should not bring a suit
against me for alienating the affections of
his wife. I sent Col. Thompson to hirn to
state to him tho facts. He wrote Col.
Thompson that his client was an honora
ble man and was about to bring suit for
divorce. I then wrote to Mr. Carrington,
stating the facts for his information, sup
posing that that would end the matter.
But the suit was commenced and Mrs.
Glasscock sent me a subpoena.
“Jfome time afterward I received a let
ter from James H. Wilson, stating that
Mrs. Glasscock had called on him in
great distress, fearing that her children
would bo taken from her, and that it was
a delicate matter to manage. 1 paid no
attention to the letter.
“Shortly afterward I received another
letter from Mrs. Glasscock, stating that
she must see me, and that she would call
the following Monday morning, and in
forming me that her husband was in
Richmond, Ya. By that time 1 began to
suspect a conspiracy, and when the time
arrived 1 had them watched. She came
and attempted to get into my office, and
had her little girl with her. Mr. Glass
cock her husbandifwas out in the street,
near the entrance. The plan evidently
was to get into my office and then send
her little girl for her husband and create
a sensation.
“She wrote me one or two other letters,
insisting that she could protect mo if sno
could only sec me, and that her husband
was absent and that it was necessary for
her to see me beforo he returned. One
was brought to me by her little boy at
the capital. She and her husband were
there afterward. They hunted fo* ine in
pp.it s for several days. The plan, as I
learned, was that she was to meet me
and he was to come up. accuse us of
intimacy, create a scene on the street and
get it published.
SUIT FOK CONSPIRACY.
"I then employed a detective ami ascer
tained that they were living together,
and have been ever since the suit for
divorce was commenced. 1 obtained
proof of the conspiracy and my attorney
presented it to Judge Bradley, and there is
an order to the court that the question of
this conspiracy of collusive suit shall first
he heard. The affidavits are. on file,
"1 have also learned that Mrs. Glass
cock and her husband have several co
conspirators of a disreputable character
who have been banging around the capi
tol for several years. Every letter she
ever wrote me was either a demand for
money or a threat to injure mo unless she
could get money. Both Mr. and Mrs.
Glasscock have made threats that they
would have money or a scandal, and so
their co-conspirators have frequently
done the same. I know every movement
that they and their co-conspirators have
made for the last, three months, i was
put under the painful necessity of gather
ing these facts and going before the
court, with a view of punishing them for
their blackmail schemes.
"Mrs Gla scock lias the audacity to
say 'that last December my husband left
me and we have not lived together since,
and since May 12 1 have not seen him.’
The mendacity of this statement illus
trates the character of the woman. Scores
of persons have seen them together dally
during the last three months, and all
their neighbors and friends know that
they have been living together ever since
the suit was commenced, aud that they
are living together to-day. If she hail
seen the affidavits on file she would have
been a brave woman to have made such a
statement.’’
A recent telegram from Turin. Italy, to the
New York Herald, reports that a brother of

COUPON OFFERS.
Five Million Dollars
is about the sum which the Treasury of Germany will
probably be shortly called upon to pay, to gratify th<j
towering- ambition of the ruling Monarch of the Empires.
It seems that
Emperor William of Germany
is having anew crown made for himself, and is most
anxious to obtain, to be set therein, the new Cape dia
mond, weighing 971 carats, more valuable than the fa
mous Kohinoor, and believed to be
The Largest Diamond in the World.
It is known as the “Excelsior,” and is now deposited in
a massive safe of the Bank of England, having been
found last June in the mines of Jagersfontein, Cane
Colony, South Africa, by Capt. Edward Jorganson, the
mine inspector. This dazzling gem is
Fully 3 inches high, nearly 3 inches broad,
and is white, of a very slight bluish tint, with matchless
luster.
Just as the Emperor desires the finest on earth in
the way of jewels for his new crown, why should not
you,one of the Sovereign Peopleof the United States,have
The very best procurable
in whatever you purchase, particularly when the article
is also the cheapest ever offered?
You love information, love learning, like to have a
silent prompter near at hand to post you at once, when
you find yourself “stumped” by not being able to answer
yourself, one of your family or a friend, concerning
something—manufactures, mining, mechanics, medicines,
geography, geology, geometry, chemistry, botany, nat
ural history, or a thousand and one other subjects, in
opiiries about which come up
Any day, every day and all day.
Hitherto you have been asked to pay from S4O to $l5O
for any sort of acceptable Encyclopedia. Now, we have
obviated all these difficulties by making an arrangement
to furnish to all our readers, everywhere, the very best
work of this class ever published in condensed form,
supplying it at a purely nominal price.
Rand, McNally & Co.’s Encyclopedia and
Ga7xtteer,
in 23 volumes, 800 quarto pages, is now within the reach
of the readers of the MORNING NEWS for 2 coupous
and 10c for each volume. You may call at our counting
room for the volumes, or send the coupons and 10 cents in
stamps for each volume, and we will mail them, postage
paid, to any andress in the United States. Don’t be selfish
or thoughtless, but tell any of friends about this
Matchless Opportunity
to secure the most unexceptionable bargain ever offered
to newspaper readers. If you desire to make a hand
some present, 23 times over, send in your coupons and
cash, and we will mail the volumes, prepaid, to your
Iriend in Tacoma, Seattle, Tucson, Trinidad, Grand
h orks, Stevens’ Point, or wherever he or she may be.
That reminds u= that we have not told you much in this
notice, about what the volume contains, and that it does
contain, among the - ■
80 Full-page Colored Ifaps,
covering every section of the globe, information about tha
places before mentioned and thousands ot others of which
you may be uninformed. Would it not be well to look
some of them up? The large number of Astronomical,
Ethnological and other charts which, with the maps,
constitute a ' ~
Complete Atlas of the World,
give a vast fund of information for which you might
search through many rare and costly volumes without
finding the great amount of learning condensed into this
masterly work, ready at a touch of the finger and a
glance of the eye. Why not read, in the
Thorough Encyclopedia, K ,

about the production of great diamonds like the Excelsior
and other gems, and note the location, latest population,
industries and special characteristics of the places where
they are found, in the
Gazetteer of the World,
which we give you also? The grandest of the English
and Scotch Encyclopedias have been revised and con
densed to do service for you here, and the addition of
extremely valuable American matter brings our work
Quite up to date,
with much information not to be found in any other pub
lication. To illustrate, embellish and add clearness to
ihe descriptive articles at every point the publishers
have included, at great expense,
2,000 Fine Engravings*
The entire work is printed on superior paper, in large,
clear type, and embraces
800 Quarto Fages.
To bring out the full beauty of the Excelsior diamond it
must be sent to Amsterdam experts to be cut. Don’t for
get that, in your case, to gain the full benefit of our gen
erous offer, the coupons must be cut. In both cases
The Effect will be Dazzling.
