Just how much tha duchesa haa . had from her father is a matter of conjec ture, but It la estimated from $10,000. 00 to lli.000.000.

In point of precedence, Marlborough la only tenth among tha British peers, nine dukes go In' to dinner before him and alt higher at the table. But the descendant of John Churchill and Sarah Jennings nevertheless commanded ' the record matrimonial price aver paid for duke, when In 1896 he became the husband of eonsuelo, only, daughter of William K. Vanderbllt. ' i , , To begin with, there was a first pay ment of $10,000,000. the duchess'. dowry given by her father on her wedding day. Boms estlmatea place the dowry at tit.- ooo.ooo, but tha smaller figure is more generally accepted. But In the 11 years that have elapsed since the- ducal wed ding many additional Installments have been paid by W. K. Vanderbllt. and It Is said to have been tha latter s refusal to pay any mora mill lone on account since his own wedding three years ago to Mrs. Anne Harrlman Rutherford uat brought about the final rupture be tween tha Duke and Ductless of Marl borough. " ':- ' " - - Half Million Checks. " There was an additional $1. 000,009 given the duchess for the purchase of Sunderland house, the magnificent man sion In May Fair, which haa been called by tha Marlborough's acquaintances Blunderland." because it is universally recognised as a costly mistake. Mr. Vanderbllt presented tha duchess with a check for $600,000 to purchase tha fue n,lshings for the xiew palace. When the. duka returned' safe and sound from the Boer war there was another check for $600,000 and the duchess is said to have received some .similar checks at tha birth of each of her two children.' Tha restoration of the Italian gar dens at Blenheim palace,, the magnifi cent country seat presented by. the British nation to the first Duke of Marlborough, which wss dona at Wil liam K. Vanderbllt's expense, ame to very little under $1,000,009. so that a conservative estimate of tha amount paid out 'by the American millionaire since tha acquisition of the ducal son-in-law ta $15,000,000. This was up to llOt, when William K. Vanderbllt took unto himself a new wife, and the lid was gently shut on the valuable coffers so that not any American dollars- have found their way Into tha capacious ducal pockets since that time. ; , - ' Duka Ox-ows Feevlsh. When. the flow of money ended, of course . ths rows began. The duchess. who Is an amiable, clever and dis tinctly sweat looking woman, was face to face with ths fact that her husband, who bad only received $16,000,000 on account, was as peevish, and disgruntled aa an Installment man who comes around for a $20 set of books aftsr you have paid everything but the last dollar. Bhe was confronted by constant denun ciations pf her father aa an old miser snd by unremitting complaints which finally became unberarable. . - ; Now that aha has left ths duka, tha noble peer, makes all sorts of lnstnua tlona and threatens to sua for divorce the last grandstand play of a coward for mors Vanderbllt millions.
