DIVORCE opium
’WALES’ N AME IS MENTIONED
A Suit Which Will Create a Sensation In
the Highest Circles'of British So-
ciety —- Meteoric Career of
the Beauty of Jersey.
London, Aug. 1_4.—London society,
from its lowest stratum up to the purple
circle that hedges in royalty, is agitated
today as it has not been agitated in
years. Edward Langtry, husband of
the Jersey Lily, has taken the pre-
liminary steps in an action for divOrce,
and he threatens to name a bunch of
corespondents that will spread over
two continents and number among its
shining marks many men prOminent in
public life, beginning with a prince of
the blood and ending with a backer of
prizeflghters.
Ever since the announcement was
made that Mrs. Langtry was to marry
Prince Paul Esterhazy de Galantha. of
Austria speculation has been rife as to
the position Mr. Langtry would take.
For 11 years he has remained silent,
but now he comes forth and declares
not only that he does not recognize as
legal the divorce decree granted to his
wife in California last May, but that if
a divorce is obtained by either party it
will be by him.
Then he goes on to say that in his
suit he will name:
First—An exalted royal personage.
Second—An English lord.
Third—Another English lord.
Fourth—A well known young Ameri-
can millionaire and turf patron.
Fifth——A sporting baronet who died
in the United States while there back-
ing a,professional prizeflghter.
Sixth—An officer of the guards.
Seventh—Adistinguished‘ English bar-
onet of sporting proclivities. .
Can He Mean Wales?
Of course Londoners, recalling the
marked attention paid the Jersey Lily
a few years ago.by the Prince of Wales,
immediately set to thinking upon the
identity of the "exalted royal person-
age.” Everybody is wondering whether
the name of his royal highness is to be
dragged through a divorce court, and,
if so, what the result will be.
That any satisfactory evidence could
be secured against Mrs. Langtry from
the prince himself is not believed. His
famous stand in the celebrated Mor-
daunt case, when he declared that for a
lady.he would at any time “perjure
himself like a gentleman” is still fresh
in the public mind.
But Mr. Langtry will depend mainly
on evidence secured while Mrs. Lang-
try was cruising on the Mediterranean
on the Whyte Ladye with a young and
dashing officer of the guards. He says
that he es not believe the suit will be
contested, as the name of Estcrhazy
would, of necessity, figure largely in
the court proceedings.
Prince Esterhazy is in London now,
and only last night dined with the Lily
at the Savoy hotel.
Mrs. Langtry’s Career.
Mrs. Langtry’s career has been a
most eventful one. She was born on
the island of Jersey. Her father, the
.Rev. Mr. Le Breton, was dean of the is-
land, and she came into the heritage
of her marvelous beauty before she was
16 years of age.
Edward Langtry, the son of a Bel-
fast Quaker and a young man of
wealth, while yachting in the channel,
heard of the woman who afterward be-
came his Wife and visited and was en—
tertained by her father at St. Hellers,
where he and the girl were married.
The couple settled down in a quiet
cottage on the Thames, but the wife,
leaning instinctively toward the glitter
of smart society, induced her husband
to take a handsome house near Bel-
grave square, and they began to enter-
tain. The time was short before she
developed into a woman of extreme
fashion, and Sir John Millais painted
her portrait, exhibiting it in the Royal
academy as “The Jersey Lily.”
The Prince of Wales saw the face,
craved an introduction, and from that
time until the crash that followed Mrs.
Langtry was the most conspicuous fig-
ure in London’s social whirl.
Scandalous tales of Langtry and his
bride began to float over London and
into Paris, and the mongers of aristo-
cratic gossip spread a contagion of
shameful stories among the acquaint-
ances and friends of the two. There
was a story that the entire Marlbor-
ough family cut the Lily because in a
playful mood she had slipped a piece
of ice down the Prince of Wales’ collar
at a late and merry supper. Both she
and Langtry dropped from the top
branches of the social tree to utter ob-
livion. ' ' ’
With a business tact that has since
developed into genius the Lily went on
the stage and made an American tour.
In that country she was first under the
guidance and management of the late
Henry E. Abbey. She was successful
and made money, improving in artistic
skill perhaps more than the critics of
the day were willing to admit.
Gebhard, Peel and Baird. ‘
In 1882 Freddie Gebhard came into
her life, and a memorable sleigh ride
was had one night after the play, and
her chaperon, Mrs. Labouchere, went
home in anger and confusion. Geb-
hard's subsequent successes on the turf
are, said to be due very largely to her‘
advice.
Then there were Sir Robert Peel-and
Squire Abingdon Baird, the latter hav-
ing been accused by Mrs. Langtry of
having beaten her on more than one
occasion. Baird alone, it Is said, spent
$500,000 on'her.
From time to time she came again
into the zone of gossip, and Sir George
Chetwyn, he who was in a measure re-
sponsible for her original social Intro-
duction, had a fist fight with the Mar-
quis of Lonsdale over her. She was
also coupled 'with Lord ROsslyn in a
brief social scandal.
Numberless ’othei' men worshiped
at her shrine, but met with no success.
She was busy with the rich, who would
dare anything for her, and the minor
devotees failed in all things.
Her first attempt at divorce was in
vain, but she male another and yet an-
other, finally succeeding in a California
court May 14, 189?.
,All Over the United States she owns
lands, and her name appears on the tax
rolls of many western states. ‘
FIRST Billilll IN STRIKE
A Collision Reported Between Depu-
ties and Workingmen.
\
ONLY ONE MAN ‘WOUNDED.
The Result of an Attempt of the March-
ers to Pass the Officers After the
Sheriff Had Read the Injunc-
tion of a County Court.
Pittsburg, Aug. 14.—The first blood
of the present miners' strike was shed
today, and was that of Jacob ~Mott, a
drummer in the McDonald strikers’
band. The trouble Occurred at an early
hour near the Plum Creek tipple. The
1,000 strikers in the camp at Plum Creek
left their camp “at 3 a. m. and divided
into two squads at Center, one body of
the marchers going to Center school
houSe and the other to the miners’
houses. The Center squad was headed
by the McDonald drum corps.
Sheriff Lowry reached Center at
about 5 o’clock. He drove from Turtle
Creek by way of Monroeville, and was
met by Deputy Sheriff Richards and a
number of deputies. The marchers
were stopped and the sheriff read the
injunction order issued yesterday by
the county court. He then ordered the
strikers to return to their camp.
The men paid no attention to the or-
der for a time, and the drum corps at-
tempted to lead the marchers past the
sheriff and his deputies. The deputies
closed up and moved forward, headed
by the sheriff, and the opposing forces
came together. No blows were struck
and no weapons drawn, but there was
a lively scuffle, during which a horn in
the hands of one If the band was
pushed into Jacob Mott’s face and he
was badly cut over the right eye. Blood
flowed in a stream from the gash, and
the sight of the blood checked the push—
ing men. '
The sheriff again read the order of
the court, and ordered the crowd to dis-
perse and appear in court tomorrow to
make answer to the bill filed. The men
again refused, and Joseph BrOWn was
particularly pronounced in his opposi-
tion.
The Strikers Retire.
He was threatened with arrest, and,
after considerable argument, during
which he asserted his right to be on the
public road, a leader named Bieling-
ham and the band again tried to force
their way past the sheriff and his dep-
uties. The deputies again closed up and
moved forward. More pushing and
shoving followed. The deputies pushed
ahead, crowding and pushing the strik-
ers back until both bodies were closely
packed, and it looked for a time as if
serious trouble would follow.
Sheriff Lowry again ordered them to
disperse and threatened them with ar-
rest if they did not instantly obey. Aft-
er some hesitation the strikers moved
back. turned and marched back to
camp, clOsely followed by the sheriff
and his deputies. ‘
It. is reported that the 29 men dis—
charged from the Plum Creek mine are
to be arrested for alleged breach of
contract.
Bodies of marchers also started from
Turtle Creek for Oak Hill and Spring
Hill today in defiance of the injunction,
but nothing has been heard from them.
At about 2 o’clock some of the dep-
uties doing duty at the Plum Creek
mines- were called from Center School
to disperse a crowd of Hungarians.
- Haas went to the camp and
75 of the Hungarians to the
-.ccompanying her to the com-
es to do missionary work.

Gaffe-en, Illa, Aug. 14.—Frank Camp-
bell, until reccnfly the trusted lieuten-
ant of General Bradley, was forced to
flee for his ‘ife from the strikers’ camp,
west of this town. He was pursued by
an angry mob of Slavs, who charged
him with having sold Bradley and his
men out to the Coffeen Coal and Cop-
per cun.pany. Campbell denies the
charge. Sheriff Randle has posted a
proclamation ordering the strikers to
disperse and leave the county.
Vote of Puddiers to Return to \VOI-k.
McKeesport, Pa., Aug. 14.—~The strik-
ing puddlcrs of the National Rolling
mill here have voted to return to work,
67 in favor and 62 against. Puddlers
who are members of the Amalgamated
Association of Iron and Steel Workers
voted to stay Out, and when the result
was announced they left the hall. The
men will probably return to work next
Monday.
Mails and Trains Delayed.
Denver, Aug. 14.—‘A dispatch from
Phenix, A. T., says: “The western
mails which arrive here over the South-
ern Pacific railway are held back by a
washout west of Maricopa. On the
Maricopa and Phenix railroad, be-
tween Temp and Kyrene, two and a
half miles were washed out. Another
report has it that between Tucson and
Pantano a washout occurred that
stopped traffic westerly.”
A Septuagenarian Hanged.
Baltimore Aug. 14.—-’Peter Monahan,
74, was hanged here today for the mur-
der- of his wife. The crime was com-
mitted May 25, 1897.; Monahan dis-
played remarkable._nerve. ~He made no
statement, contenting—thimself with say-
ing that he had told all-he had to tell
to his confesSor and‘his God. He will
be buried in St. Peter’s Catholic ceme-
tery beside the Woman he murdered.
. Illinois Steel Attachment Released.
Milwaukee, Aug. 14.—The attachment
against the Illinois Steel company to
«satisfy a claim of $60,539 in favor of the
Newport Mining company has been re-
leased upon the presentation of pa guar-
antee. of $125,000 signed by .Frank‘ C.
Bigelow and Charles P. Pfister. The
attachment caused no delay in the
plant.

P., Lippman’s Great Remedy. $393
a Illan From Becoming a Cripple.
r. Asa. Ammons, a well-known
en of Jacksonville, Florida, was
:ted by a terrible ulcer. Medical
seemed unavailing in stopping the
g'ss of the terrible disease. The
was swollen and intensely painful,
the ulcer had eaten its way down
0 the very bone. All medicines and
.reatments having failed to efiect a
cure, the doctors said the leg must
come 013. Just when it seemed that
Mr. Ammons would become a disabled
and a crippled man, he tried P. P. P.,
Lippman‘s Great Remedy, and the re-
sult was wonderful.
P. P. P, SAVES HIS LEG.
“ Jacksonville, Fla, July 1, 1895.—
Two years ago I had the worst ulcer
on my leg I ever saw. It had eaten
down to the bone, and my whole leg
below my knee, and my foot was
swollen and inflamed. The bone was
swollen and painful, and discharged :1
most offensive matter. My physicians
said I had necrosis of the bone, and
my leg would have to come off. At
this stage I commenced to take P. P. P.
and to bathe my leg with hot castile
soap suds. It. began to improve at
once and healed rapidly, and is to~dav
a. sound and useful leg.
“ I think P. P. P., Lippman’s Great
Remedy, is all a man could ask for as
a blood. purifier, as I have known it to
cure so meterrible cases of blood poi-
soning in a remarkably short time.
“ASA AMMONS.”
TERRIBLE BLOOD POISON.
The body covered with sores-two
bottles of P. P. P. made a positive and
permanent. cure. This is only one of
ma my thousand similar cases.
Catarrh yields at once to P. P. P.
That smothered feeling at night, that
heavy feeling in the day—can and
should be removed; P. P. P. will do it
if you only give it a chance.
Indigestion and constipation go hand
in hand. Headaches and total loss of
appetite are the results. Regulate
yourself and tone up your stomach
with P. P. P.
