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. I
