PIONEER AMERIGUI
DUCHESS
IS
ED
Consuelo of Manchester Was
Daughter of Antonio
Yznaga del Valle.
KING AND QUEEN FRIENDS
Among First of American Girls to
Wed Title Beautiful, Talented,
She Ruled Favorite Both in
London and Abroad.
LONDON. Nov. 3D. Consuelo, Dowager
Duchess of Manchester, died early this
( Saturday) mornlnp of heart failure fol
lowing an attack, of neuritis.
She had been 111 for some time from
neuritis, but recently complications de
veloped. She was living In her London
residence and was attended by Sir Alfred
FVinD. M. D.. surceon to Kins Edward.
At her bedside were Lady Llster-Kaye
and Miss Emily Yxnaga, of New YorK,
her sister.
In her Illness King Edward frequently
made inquiries concerning her condition.
The Dowager-DuchesB of Manchester
was the daughter of Antonio Yznaga del
Valle. of Ravenswood. La., and Cuba.
After the Civil War Mr. Yznaga. having
lost most of his fortune, moved North
and Consuelo became a prominent figure
In the social life of New York City.
Her wedding in May, 1476. to the Vis
count Mandeville was a brilliant affair
and one of the first alliances of Ameri
can girls with foreigners.
At the death of the seventh Duke of
Manchester, in 1S30. Viscount Mandeville
assumed the title of his father, and Con
suelo Yznaga became the eighth Duchess
of Manchester. A son and twin daugh
ters were the fruit of the' union, and in
132, at the death of his father, Con
suelo's son became Duke.
He married Miss Helena Zimmerman,
of Cincinnati, in 1900. and Consuelo be
came the Dowager-Duchess. Her two
daughters died in young womanhood.
For many years the- Dowager-Duchess
was a great social' favorite In London
ind on the continent. King Edward and
Queen Alexandra were her constant
friends.
These modifications In the act
would. It Is believed, make it an ef
fective measure to obtain reasonable
rates and fairness of practices In the
operation of interstate railroad lines."
Sherman Law Not Understood.
Mr. Wickersham. in speaking of the
Sherman anti-trust law. said that no
statute was so generally misunder
stood. The speaker said the great pur
pose to be borne in mind-in connection
with this and similar legislation is al
ways the preservation of the fredom to
trade.
'No doubt." said he. "the Sherman act
is sufficiently comprehensive to destroy
euch monopolies as the holding corpora
tion, but at the same time that the Na
tional Government forges a weapon to
destroy abuses, it must provide a sub
stitute for those legitimate enterprises
that are equally dependent for their exist
ence uoon the system soi abused.
Such a law should provide for the or
ganization and management of trading
corporations, it kiiouio pr"wl -t,xs -" i
poratlons organized under it from undue
Interference by state authorities, sud
jecting its real and personal property
only to such taxation as te imposed by
the state upon other similar property
located therein: and it should require
it to file complete reports of its opera
tions with the bureau of corporations or
some other similar office.
"Such corporations should be prohibited
from acquiring or holding stock of other
corporations."
Ir. Wise on Munieipal Reforms.
Dr. Stephen D. Wise, rabbi of the Free.
Synagogue of New York, spoke on muni
cipal reforms. He said in part:
"Civil reform must be a matter of con
tinuous and ceaseless striving. The civic
reformation will not be attained if mu
nicipalities grow tired after a few years
of earnest effort, as San Francisco has
grown tired. Leaders of the cause of
ctvic reformation, like the churches,
spend too much time and strength in
lighting each other Instead of waging
united warfare upon the common enemy."
