DIVORCE COMPLICATIONS

MILLIONAIRES AND THEIR WIVIS

Grand weddidgs and oomplicnHd divorce oases (writes the New York correspondent of tbe Melbourne Argus) engage the attention of what is sorao %}mm called •' tha Upper Ten Thou iand " of society, but has been narrowed down in New York to " the Four Hon- ; dired." The most notable of recent j weddings was that of Miss Helen H-y* daughter'of the Seoretary of Sf.atf>, and Payne Whitney, the son of Willi*ra 0 Whitney, formerly Secretary of the Havy, who has recently retired from _übiu6B*j with a fortune of 50,000,000 dol,tbe greater part of which was ac quired by the exploitation of munici pal street railway franchises in New York.

The gitte received by this happy pair were of great valuf. The young hug band ia the favourite nephr-w of Colonel Oliver H Payne, a Standard Oil multi millionaire, whose only sister was Spc retary Whitney's first wife. Tha colonel gave to the bride a necklace of diamonds and pearls, valued at 150,000 dot. For tho bridegroom he bought a lot in millionaires' row, on Fifth a-snoß. paying 525,000d0l for it: and this gift is (o be completed by the erection of a bouse at a cost of 500,000 do!. From tho same generous uncle young Whitney received a beau tiful country house in the subur ban park settlement of Tuxedo, and tbe supeib seam yacht Aphrodite, 800fb long, which ia surpassed by few similar craft in the world's waters. The most eminent members of Ame rica's plutocracy were directly inter ested in this wedding—the railroad magnates as well aa the beneficiaries of the Oil Trust, and other great combi nations -— for young Payne's older brother married Grrtrude, only daugh ter of the late Cornelius Vanderbilt, and cousin of tbe Duchess < f Marl borough. Therefore, tbe gifts were a remarkable array of diamonds, gold plate, and valuable works of art. It is reported today that the President intends to appoint .the young husband to tha office of Seoretary of Legation afc London.

Tbe marriage of Mrs Pearl Hunt is tbe latest step in a series of curious divorce complications, in which our rich leaders of society are interested ; for Mrs Hunt recently rejected Wil liam X Vanderbiife (■» divorced man), and is the grand-daughter of a Stan dard Oil millionaire. The record of divorce cases in connection with this marriage is without precedent, even in a country where, by official report, of 328,718 divorces have been granted in two decades, Mra Hunt was the wife of s. promi nent architect in this city, by whom she Mad three children. Two years ago he begged ber to divorce him, in order I'rat he might marry the wife of Mr Walter Watrous, Thereupon Mrs Hunt betook herself to Hot Springs, in the distant State of South Dokota, where tbe laws have boen ar ranged for the convenience of those desiring to sever the murriage tip. She obtained a divorce there a few raont?;s ago. In tho meftntlme Mr Watroas had d'?orc«d hia wifk and lha archi tect married ber as soon as he "free to do so. In South .Dakota Mrs Hunt became acquainted wMs Dr Havens, a hands m- physician, who attended her children when they were - ill; H?r heart warmed toward him, and his respond- d. But there was a Mrs Hargens, with three children, standing in the way. The dro'or in due d his wifr* to bu* 1 for divorce. As he, oi coarse, < ff -red no opposition, the divrrce was speedily (.ranted. Turning over to h's wife his pavings, af* alimony, the doctor proceeded to marry Mrs J_P_ut. There was a grand wedding at bar father's fine country seat, in Indian*, and a c%r lo*d of ber rich friends in New York went ou" by special train to attend thocaremony, Society was also interested in the repent marriage of Mrs William E D Stoke*-, to Captain Philip Lydig; Mrs Stokes, tbe daughter of a wealthy Cuban Spaniard, is a very beautiful woman. She was married to her mil lionaire husband six years ago by tbe Catholic Archbishop of this city, A well known figure at the opera and at Social function?, she was a great lover, and mioy noted trotters and. runners were bred q_ ler her direction on 'her f'lmoos Palchcn Wiik-s stock farm in Kentucky. Twoyesrs ago she obtained a divorce, and the oasto'ly of her littie boy; When it was known a few weeks ago tbat she intended to marry Captni • LydiVi there was a rumour thstshe had procured a papal dispensation (being a Catholic), but this was not true. The cere mony wis performed by the rector of Grs^e Church, Tho fair have gone .to the Mv-diteTrtnesn, leaving (he little boy with MfrStokes, who reclaimed him by paymffnt of 1,000,001? dollars in cash Io the mother.
