THE LUMP CITY MINER: LUMP CITY, MONTANA: HAVE MONEY TO BURN IHESE YOUNG WOMEN ARE VERY WEALTHY. They Are Single Too and It Filled Foreigners Do Not Get Away %tab Them Will Some Day Bet u...e the Wive, ot Americans. (New York Correspondence.) HILE THE MAR- riage o f Adele Sloane and the an- nouncement of the engagement of Edith Rockefeller take two of the richest girls I n America off the list ot catches, the eli- gible young man need not feel down- hearted, for, in the language of the day, \there are others.\ In this big town where millionaire papas are numerous and their dear girls must all get married some time, any man who is legitimately in the hunt is lustified in hoping to land as ekewinner. and if he is as critical in his selliction of a mate for life as he was of the entries tor the recent Suburban, he simply can't lose. Everybody knows that New York society contains more well-bred, well- groomed, well -gowned and absolutely thoroughbred young women than any other town on earth. That goes without • •-. HELEN BENEDICT. saying. So, the question of personal characteristics settled, the next point is that of bank account. Of course, every man of the right sort will pooh-pooh the idea that in selecting a gin i to share his joys and sorrows he would hesitate to consider her worldly possessions; but when he knows that the girl he ‚oven loves him, he isn't sorry that her fortune or her prospective Inheritance is a big one. To select the first offering among the wealth of pretty girls who are matrimonial catches is not an easy teak. In the matter of prospective for- tune, Alta Rockefeller's name, like that of Ben Adhem, leads all the rest. But. unfortunately, Alto's fortune is all prospective. Some folks say that the wise and churchly Standard Oil mag- nate does not believe In young people having too much money at their dis- posal, and declares that the bulk of Ms hundreds of millions will be left to vari- ous charities. Still, Miss Alta, his eldest unmarried child, will not be forgotten in his will, and at least $30.000,000 will be her share Miss Alta has had already one romance in her young lira., having caused quite a sensation among the crowd of auttors who gathered about her in Cleveland. where they then lived, by admitting to her friends that abe was engaged to Rev. Dr. L. A. Crandall, the pastor of their church. John D. did not care for a cleric as a son-in-law, however, and the wedding was indefinitely postponed As all this occurred nearly five years ago, and au Miss Alta was very young at the time, it may be presumed that she is at this writing fancy free. Easily the next in point of wealth among the girl bachelors comes Miss Helen Gould. Good looking. well dressed, well balanced and well edu- cated are the commendatory, if uni enthusiastic, expressions applied to Miss Helen Gould, the Scheidt girl bachelor in America. Not even the fact of her enormous wealth leads people to call her beautiful, but on the other hand, envy cannot call her homely. She is a dark-haired, hazel -eyed young wom- an, with an earnest, sensible expression of countenance, an easy, rather dis- tinguished carriage, and perfect self - MISS PAULINE WHITNEY. preineesion. She has Inherited from her father enough ehrewdnese to enable her in take rare of and to Increase the $115.- 000.000 which he left her. She has no eitruvngsint tastes, but is fond of flower«. find the famous Gould conger- . e else at Irvington-on-the-Hudeon ewe their ienown largely to her. She Hales well hut is not in the remotest de- gree a horsey girl.\ While philan- terople, Miss Gould has excellent finan- cial sense and la never imposed upon by fiétitlous poverty. She girths ILO largely ot her time and strength • to charities as of her money, and with- out any ostentation does work that most rich girls would leave pun - done such as Sunday school teach- ing, district visiting, hospital read- ing and the like. Then she goes to a lot of trouble to entertain a crowd of poor children up at Irvington every now and then. Therefore It is easy to be seen that no dudes need apply for Miss Gould's hand. Perhaps her most striking characteristic, next to her bank account. is her distaste for any sort of notoriety. Another charming girl whose hand is still free is Miss Pauline Whitney, the daughter of Willilam C. Whitney, whose wealth may safely be put down at $10,- 000,000. Then, too, Miss Whitney will probably be a beneficiary in the will of her mother's father, Henry D. Payne, the Standard Oil magnate, whose wealth is even greater than Mr. Whitney's. Miss Whitney made her social debut' three years ago, under exceptionally fa- vorable circumstances, but her pleasant experience in the »octal whirl was sud- denly terminated by tee illness and death of her mother. Since then she has traveled muoh abroad with her father. The. Whitneys' mansion, at Millionaire Crossroads, Fifty-seventh street and Fifth avenue, is one of the most com- modious and beautiful in the city. Miss Whitney is by inheritance a girl of strung character and large brain, and, in spite of all the adulation she has re- ceived. from mea of title abroad, re- turns to the land of her birth heart - whole and fancy free. Miss Elsie Clews, the only daughter of Henry Clews, the Wall street banker, Is a young woman whose millions will be many. She is a striking looking girl. not unlike her mother, whose social triumphs are widely known. Miss Clews made her finest appearance in society under the most favorable auspices at Newport during the summer of 1893. She does not belong to the dawdling, Inactive class ot belles at all, for next to her millions her prowess as a swim- mer is her chief renown. A season or two back she was reported engaged to young Sam Dexter. a Chicago millionaire, but the field for her hand is still an open one. Miss Helen Benedict. daughter of the banker who is looked upon as President Cleveland's closest friend, is as hand- some as she is accomplished, which is saying a good deal. Should the right man come along. Papa Benediet would be certain to come down handsomely in the matter of a wedding present containing his autograph, and in time to «one the lucky son-in-law would have the handling of several millions. If the would-be benedict among the jeunesse doree should prefer family to pelf, he could do no better than to pay his devoirs to Miss Van Rensselaer. who is the leader Of the set known as the pure old Knickerbockers. While suffi- ciently well endowed with the goods of this world, Me charming young woman may safely depend upon her charms of mind, manner and physique to obtain for her all the offers she may desire. Lady Clara Vete de Vete, in her palm - teat day, could not out do Miss Van Rensselaer in stateliness and grace, and the man who finally wins her may • MISS ELSIE CLEWS count himself favored of the gods. Miss Frances Havens Ives, a daugh- ter. of Brayton Ives, known in both hemispheres as an art connoisseur of the first rank, is another young woman who may be classed among the best catches In New York. The Ives man- sion, at No. 44 East Forty-fourth street, is one of the most beautifully and artistically furnished in this city, and Miss Ives, whose tastes follow thnse of her distinguished father, is the center of one of the exclusive sets among the FotIr Hundred. Mrfi! George Kidd Is known as a social leader par excellence, and her daugh- ter. Miss Grace Georgette Kidd, is equally au fait in all matters Concern- ing the haute motel,. Few girls have had Miss Kidd's opportunities for meet- ing the very best men in both American and European society, and while her name has been coupled more than once with men of prominence and title, she is as yet uneeptured. These are but few of the more prom- inent of the young women, each of whom some man same day will be proud to rail his own, though the list could easily be lengthened beyond the proper limits ot this article. Considering the matter of dollars simply, a union be- tween one of our wealthiest bachelors. Eugene Higgins. for instance, and on* of theme multi-millionalresees would. through the combination of their for- tunes, bring to their children mime of money that would cause the fortune of even an Astor to seem small In compar- ison. Miss Gertrude Vanderbilt, daugh- ter of Cornelius Vanderbilt, will prob- ably/rAne in for at least $35.000.000 of her father's money some day, and this. added to Higgins' $30.000.000, would Snake a nest egg that In a generation from now would have grown to figures that would make one dizzy to contem- plate. COLONIA I Illil.R014 1 JS. REMEMBERED WITH A TUSCAN COLUMN. .htti Hundred mud Fifty rears Dave Elapsed Since the (rapture of Louis- burg from the trench—Goy. Shirley's 'Sold Scheme, HE event commem- orated by the un- veiling of the monu- ment at Louisburg, Cape Breton, June 17, the one hun- dred and fiftieth anniversary of the surrender ot that famowe fortress by the French to the English, was a great event of colonial alatory. One hundred and fifty years Igo Gov. William Shirley, of Massa- .‚hueetts, was busily engaged in fitting lut the famous expedition under (len William Pepperrell which was destined to capture that stronghold—\the GI- )raltar of America\—Louisburg on the tait shore of Cape Breton. Thirty years later came the war of independence.and the glories of Louisburg were eclipsed and almost forgotton. by the treaty of Utrecht in 1713 Cape Breton was ceded to France and Nova Scotia to Great Britain. France immediately began rortifying the cape in the most formid- able manner. She built a walled town it the southeastern part, with gates and moat and drawbridge, as in feudal times. The ramparts were of massive atone, and from 30 to 36 feet high. At the entrance to the harbor was a little Scotia at once Canso, wholly unpre- par e d for much a movement, surren- dered at once without making any re- sistance. Gov. Shirley of Massachusetts immediately sent reinforcements to An- napolis in time to save It front shar- ing the saint- fate. Soon after the for- mal I eclaration ot war by England was received in the provinces and it pro- duced the greatest excitement. The French on one hand and the Indians on the other caused a great deal of alarm. and called forth most vigorous efforts for self-protection. Louisburg was SO strongly fortified that Gov. Shirley, though his heart was set upon captur. Ing it, moved very cautiously. lie de- cided that no regular siege would avail, but that it must be taken by surpris a. Fie called tile general court, and as a preliminary required the astounded members to take an oath of secrecy be- fore he would lay before them his com- munication. They yielded to the re- quest, and then the Governor revealed to them his plan of taking Louisburg. Circulars were at once sent to the dif- ferent colories, and It was soon found that more volunteers would Offer them- selves than were needed. The chief difficulty was to find a man competent to command no large an army and con- duct the siege of so formidable a place as Louisburg. The choice finally fell on Col. William Pepperrell. a wealthy mer- chant, and withal very popular with all class. The .sarcastic Dr. Douglass, then living at Boston, said that \the ex- pedition had a lawyer for a contriver, a merchant for a general, and farmers, fishermen and 'mechanics for soldiers.\ When the expedition reached Cape Breton in April the ground was covered with ice. Pepperrell disembarked his troops on the evening of the 28th. The surprise of the French was unbounded. It took some time under the greatest difficulties to land the troops and the heavy guns. But Pepperrell was a man • se, t'. t 4, ses- 41k -e; tealt.. 1. 41 / 1 '\/1 )\ ik , t,\ Yt 1\ • Ì , e,„ A 7 e‚ • i f is LUCY STONE BLACKWELL. Lucy Stone Blackwell, the great American reformer, was born Aug. 13, 1818. at West Brooksfield, Mass., grad- uated in 1847 at Oberlin college, and at once entered upon her career as a lec- turer and reformer, her specialty being woman's rights. In 1848 she was em- ployed by the Anti -Slavery society of Massachusetts to deliver lectures in various points of the eastern states and Caitada.. She was married to H.

On June 1 negotiations for peace were begun, sixteen days later Pepperrell entered the town while the ahlbs of his expedi- tion sailed out of the harbor. \Never was a place more mauled with cannon and shells,\ wrote Pepperrell to Shir- ley. \Neither have I read in history ot any troops behaving with greater cour- age. We gave them about 9.000 cannon balls and 600 bombs.\ When the news that Loulaburg seam taken reached Boston at night an up- roar of hells and cannon proclaimed II to the sleeping city.
