Plenty of Accomodations And a Royal Good Time OT TitoYOI Ti Still " 1-J CLARKE WILL SUE OEMINO. r Famous Comedisn fays Father-In -Law Caused Divorce Suit Harry Corson Clarke, comedian, Is to su E. W. Imfng, father of hla divorced wife, for 1100,000. He will charge that Mr. Demlng alienated Mr. Clarke's affection. He has told close friends of his Intentions, This Is to be the sequel of Harry Corson Clarke's love match with pretty Alice Demlng, a Ban Francisco soci ety girt. Mr. Clarke Is unstinted in his criticism of his former wife's par ents, especially of her father. For several years after the marriage, In If 98, such perfect bliss was seldom seen oil the stage as was really theirs in their home life. The couple were received In exclusive circles In many of the places they visited. They were especially welcomed in Denver, where their triumphs were many. Acording to Mr. Clarke Demlng be gan to And fault with the unsettled life of his daughter and sowed the seed of discontent and discord, Anally re suited in divorce. He poisoned Mrs. Clarke's affection for her husband, Clarke alleges, and without any just cause brought sorrow to the family. As the divorce suit was brought in New York, It is probable that the dam- age suit will originate there, too. Says It's a Bluff. "That Is one of his bluffs; he wants money, I suppose," said E. W. Dem lng, when he was advised by a reporter that his son-in-law Intended to sue him for 1100,000 for alienating the af fections of Mrs. Clarke, who was Miss Alice Demlng, the beautiful and weal thy daughter of the capitalist "It Is nonsense to say that 1 had anything to do with this affair,'' Mr. Demlng continued, quietly. "Of course, my wife and I were in our daughter's confidence and when she wrote to us and asked if we would object to her divorcing her husband, we replied, "No, go ahead and sue him.' That Is the extent of my having anything to do with the divorce proceedings. 'My daughter and her sister are still In New York, awaiting the final de cree of divorce. She has been grant ed an interlocutory decree but will not be absolutely divorced until the next session of the court there, which will be next September. My daughter was In Sew York when the suit was brought. "As for myself, I expected that there would be a divorce when they were married, but she was determined and I did not wish to stand In the way of her happiness. It Is well known what kind of a man he is. , "Why, even when he was in San Francisco, It was generally known that he was on terms of intimacy with an other woman. The divorce was brought on the ground of the husband's infi delity; that was the only ground on which It could have been secured in New York. "So he Is going to sue me. Is he? Well, let him sue. He will likely be forced to bring the suit in San Fran cisco, for whatever money there Is is here and that's what he's after. It would be an inconvenience to be com' pelled to go to New York to fight a suit I know little about the circum stances and the evidence more than what has been printed. But, as I have said. It is my opinion that this as an other on of the man's bluffs." COSTLY WEDDING PRESENTS GIVEN TO BRIDAL COUPLES The magnificent and costly pres ents which have been lavished recently on distinguished bridal couples call to mind some of the truly regal gifts that have fallen to the lot of happy brides and fortunate bridegrooms ' in past years, a single one of which has often represented a large fortune. When the present king of Italy mar ried his beautiful wife the czar and czarina presented to the bride a sin gle diamond ornament which is said to have cost 1400,000, and the wedding presents of Princess Henrietta of Bel glum and her husband, the Due da Vendome, were so numerous and mas sive that they filled 150 boxes and weighed 11 tons. ' A very remarkable and costly royal present was that given to the King and Queen of Greece in honor of their silver wedding. It was the joint gift of eight near relatives, and consisted of a massive' silver table service, rich ly ornamented with gold. There were 798 plates and 121 dishes, each piece bearing the intertwined monograms of the happy couple. But it Is in this country that the rec ord exists for more than regal wed ding presents. When Miss Louisa Pierpont Morgan became the bride of Mr. Satterlee her father gave her bonds worth $1,000,000, a magnificent house on the Hudson, and a tiara and exquisite collar and corsage ornament of diamonds presents representing at least a million and a half dollars,, and there were 400 other presents, includ ing chests of gold and silver plate, Jewelry of fabulous price, old tapes tries, and costly paintings and bric- a-brac for which Europe had been ran sacked. ' ; It is Interesting, perhaps, to add that this wwitlerful wedding cost $175,000. The flowers used in decorating the church represented $12,500; $50,000 Is given as the price of the bridal traus seau, and $5,000 was spent on the wed ding gown alone. The guests num bered 2,500, and In the words of a re porter, represented "fully a billion dol lars," .and for their reception and en tertainment Mr. Morgan's Madison Square mansion was transformed lot "a veritable Aladdin's Palace," the tapestries used in adorning the walls alone being valued at $500,000. But even Miss Morgan's tributes ot gems had to pale their fires before the dazzling array of precious stories which Mr. D'Arcy lavished on his bride. Miss .Nutting, a few years ago These, are but a few of the contents of that wonderful Jewel box, worthy to figure as the dower of an eastern king's daughter: .A rope of 400 pearls, s9 of exquisite color and perfect shape, diamond and turquoise necklace and! earrings, the diamonds set dice fash ion, with a single enormous stone flash ing like the sun pendent from the mid dle of It; a diamond bracelet with a diamond bail watch hanging, from 1 a large diamond sun, buttons of dia monds and blue enamel and so cat through an interminable list the very reading .of which almost blinds one's eyes with its suggestions of dazzling display. When Miss Tweed, daughter oi "Boss" Tweed, was married in 1871. it was said that a million dollars was a modest estimate of the value of the presents -she received. In the words of a chronicler, "An entire upper floor in the Tweed mansion was given up t a display of the wedding presents. There were more gold and silver plate and Jewels than would stock half a dozen Jewelers' shops." And equally fortunate was Miss Helen McLaugh lin when Dr. Carroll led her Ut the altar, for her presents were so many and valuable that her, father had a large burglar-proof vault built to keep them in. It required four enormous vans to remove them from the house, and a strong guard of police escorted, them through the streets. GRAND DUKE'S ESCAPADES. Why the Czar Recalled Boris From the Scene of Action. Special correspondence of the Exam iner from Berlin tells the following story of the escapades-of Grand Duke Boris: When the Grand Duke Boris of Rus sia was ordered home from the seat of war by the czar on complaint of Gen eral Kuropatkln, there was much sur prise. JVow, however,, it appears that Boris arrived at Mukden with a suite filling four railroad cars and including seven handsome girls from St. Peters burg theaters, with maids, vast plies of luggage, a chef and assistants and a quantity of tinned delicacies. Boris proceeded to demoralize the en tire garrison. He had parties which j became indescribable orgies, treated everybody with insolent disdain and drew his sword at Kuropatkln when the general sent for him and ordered him be dismiss his suite, mend his con duct and conform to ordinary discipline. Kuropatkln was only restrained by his aide-de-camp from replying to this Insult by cutting Boris down, but con tented himself with telegraphing to the czar, preemptorlly requesting that Boris be at once recalled. The czar thereupon telegraphed Boris to leave Mukden on the next train, ac companied by one servant and to re port himself as under arrest to the Grand Duke Serge, governor of Moscow. Boris, among other escapades, had Issued a proclamation offering a re ward for the capture of the beautiful Japanese geishas who were reported to be following the Japanese general staff. On one occasion, at Mukden, a very handsome Circassian, who was wor shiped as Venus by Boris and his of ficer friends, sent an impudent mes sage to Kuropatkln, Inviting the gen eral to forsake the god of war for the goddess of love. Boris departed In a very crestfallen state, while Kuropatkln the following day bundled off the harem and .other hangers-on in an ordinary troop train very different from the luxurious cars which they had traveled out in. The Grand Duke Boris will probably be banished to his father's estate in' southern Russia for a year.
