APOSTLE HEBER J. GRANT ARRESTED FOR POLYGAMY SALT LAKE, Nov. 11. Apostle Grant of the Mormon church lias been arrested for polygamy. Miss May Goelet, the most courted girl in the world and the richest girl in her own right in America, will hence forth be known as the Duchess of Rox burghe. The Duchess is worth in her own right about $30,000,000. It is eight years since the courting of Miss Goelet began. In that time the twenty men who have been most conspicuous among her suitors have all had interesting or remarkable adven tures. Some have gone to war, some have died, some have become famous. The twenty were: The Duke of Rox burghe, the Grand Duke Boris of Rus sia, Prince Franc-i of Teck, the Prince Henri of Orleans. Prince Hugo of Ho henlohe, the Prince of Sagan, the Duke of Abruzzi, the Duke of Manchester, the Earl of Shaftesbury, Lord Ingestre, Lord Dalmeny, the Hon. Lionel Roths child, Captain Oswald Ames. Henry Cavendish, Lord Crichton, Paul Des chanel, Santos Dumont, Signor Marco ni, Jasques Lebaudy and Craig Wads worth. Among them they possessed $81,000, 000, this sum being divided among twelve of them, while the rest were virtually penniless. These twelve had fourteen splendid castles, palaces and villas in England, France and Ger many. Eight years ago when this universal international courtship began Miss Goelet was only seventeen years old. But with social talents and cleverness inherited from a mother of the noted R. T. Wilson family, and a perfect education, she took a leading place in society at once. The occasion on which she first attracted the attention of American society was at the wed ding of Miss ("onsuelo Vanderbilt to the Duke of Marlborough in 1S95, when she was a bridesmaid. The new Duchess is slight, dark and very attractive. It is an exaggeration to say that she is strikingly handsome, as many have done. Two cynical so ciety men were discussing the point, and one of them said: "Would you call her face handsome?" "Not exactly but her fortune Is," said the other. Today at twenty-five the Duchess of Roxburghe is in absolute possession of $30,000,000 of New York real estate. One of her earliest suitors was the Duke of Manchester. His engagement was actually announced by the Lon don "Daily Telegraph." Mr. Ogden Goelet, who was then alive, told a re porter that he could never allow his daughter to marry a foreigner. It was later learned that Miss Goelet had vol untarily declined the Duke. After that he c'onsoled himself for a time with journalism and next year eloDed with Miss Zimmerman of Cincinnati a mar riage which has turned out cuite hao pily. Miss Goelet had suitors in the highest society of every European country. There was Prince Henri of Orleans, by far the most enterprising member of the dethroned royal family of France. He thought that Miss Goelet's $30,000, 000 would help the royalist cause, but he sought it in vain. Then he tried to win fame as an explorer and died miserably in Tonkin. The most illustrious of all by birth was the Grand Duke Boris, first cousin of the Czar of Russia. When he was staying with the Goelets at Newport Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish remarked that "everybody knew he was there to mar ry Miss Goelet and pay off his debts." A most interesting suitor in France was the brilliant Paul Deschanel, now President of the Chamber of Deouties and regarded as the next President of the republic. He needed a rich wife badly in his political career, but he failed to win Miss Goelet. Jacques Lebaudy, who is as rich as Miss Goelet, being the son of the great est sugar refiner in France, has re cently created himself Emperor of the Sahara. Miss Goelet might have been Empress. In Italy an exalted suitor was the Duke of Abruzzi, cousin of the Kine: of Italy. When he found that there was no hope for him he organized an expedition to the North Pole and scored the farthest North.
