PARKER TO TALK.
i
Democratic Candidate May Begin Ac
tive Campaign in West.
ESOPUS, N. Y., July 10. The confer
ence of New York Democrats held Inst
night at the Hoffman nousc, New York
City, was the subject of the keenest In
terest here, even to the villagers, who
hitherto have been content In tho
knowledge of Judge Parker's nomina
tion without bothering about any of the
details or gossip connected with his
campaign. The Judge read the news
paper .y-'counta of '.be conference with
close attention, but as usual, without
any comment which could reach the
newspaper men.
A report is current that there will be
an effort to get Judge Parker to begin
his active campaign "In the middle Wont
with a sneech at Chicago soon after the
notification ceremonies.
It is understood that Mayor Harri
son of Chicago Is anxious not only to
have the first big gun of the campaign
fired in Chicago, but to have Judge
Parker and W. J. Bryan on the plat
form together on that occasion. Noth
ing definite on that subject can be
learned here, for Jxidge Parker abso
lutely refuses lo discuss any of his
plans subsequent to his notification.
So far as the notification is concerned,
it will be held at Rosemont. Judge
Parker intends to remain here through
out the campaign, .save perhaps for two
or three absences'to make speeches in
large cities, such as Chicago, Phila
delphia and New York, and probably
Boston.
WHO ARE INVITED.
Bryan, Ex-Senator Towne and Champ
Clark to Be Present.
CHICAGO. July 19. "It is true thai
we are to have a meeting in Chicago on
August 20," said Mayor Harrison to
day, after reading the Associated Press
dispatch from- Esopu? relative to the
opening of the Democratic campaign.
"We Intend- to invite Judge Parker to
bo one of the epeakers. The celebra
tion was originally' set for July 1G. but
we changed the date when we found
it would occur before Mr. Parker and
Mr. .Daviy had received their official
notifications. We hav already invited
Mr. Bryan, ex-Senator Towne and
Champ Clark. They have practically
accepted and we are counting upon
Judge Parker."

of Yee Chlng Ton. landed olt the steam--ship

.Eogagement of 'Heiress I

Captain Henry Sponder-CIay"
Vory Unpopular in Brit
ish Metropolis.
Recamo Notorious in ITevill Scandal,
and Was Forced Out of tha
'Army. V .
r
NEW YORK. July 19. The recent
announcement in London of the en
gagement of Miss Pauline Astor, only
child and heiress to William Waldorf
Astor's fortune of ? 100,000,000, to Capt.
Henry Spender-Clay, formerly of the
English army, is still the subject, of gos
sip in New York's exclusive set.
The engagement came as a total sur
prise. Capt. .Spender-Clay's devotion
to Miss Astor was known here, but no
one supposed that he had the ghost of
a chance of success. In London Capt.
Spender-Cla3's unpopularity ls almost
as conspicuous as that of Miss Astor's
father. It was the future husband of
Miss Astor who brought about the
social ruin of young Lord William
Nevill, a court favorite, and King fed
ward has never overlooked Clay's need-
icss cuons to persecute nevill. IH
ITamo Linked With. Scandal.
Nevill, who was the fourth son of
the Marquis of Abergavenny, was sen
tenced to. Ave years penal servitude on
the charge of fraud. He and Spender
Clay had been close friends, and Clay
indorsed NevIU's notes, unconscious of jH
the fact that they were notes. Sam
Levis, the famous money lender, sued
Clay for $50,000, the amount, and Clay
exposed Nevill. The scandal became
so great that; Lord Nevill was arraigned tM
ln Bow Street Police court and later
1 convicted.
All London blamed the officious Clay JM
for "letting down" his friend, who had
promised to pay the notes within a
year if the affair was kept quiet. Spcn-der-CIay
waa outliving the blight of the
Nevill case when he became Involved-
IH
in the "ragging" scandals at Windsor, : IH
and, at the request of King- Edward, tiM
Capt. Spender-Clay was asked to re
sign from the crack Life Guards.
A subaltern Butler had accused; his
superior officers In the Second Life
Guards of subjecting him to all sortn ,
of Indignities for thel ramuscmcnt.
Capt. Spender-Ciay was one of the men
accused.
Routed Out of Bed.
Butler paid in the dead of night he
would be routed) out of bed and1 made
to drink out of horse-troughs or beaten. ,
The subaltern, also accused these junior
officers of upsetting his room, and the?
charges were echoed by privates of the
Guards.
Lord Roberts ordered Clay's rosigna
lion, but the captain paid no attention
to the commander's request. Then the
King took a hand In these scandals and
ordered Clay's immediate resignation.
Spender-Clay is one of tho richest young -iH
men in London. His father owned a
large share ln the Bass Brewing com
pany, and tltfy immense fortune waa
divided- by Clays sister, Lady Blnj?
ham. Lord Bingham represents Chert
sey dlvlsloru of Surrey in the House of
Parliament.
This Ls not. the llret time one of the
daughters of the house of) Astor has
wedded a British distiller. - Although
Spender-Clay has long since dropped all
connection with the brewery, he Is al
ways spoken of as "Ale" Clay. Mrs. , ll

William Astor. married R. Ogllvie-Hale
after- her divorce from Mr. Drayton.

After having her named linked- with' IH
that of every groat catch In Europe,
Miss Pauline Astor's engagement to
