Show nr NELLIE GRANT WEDS AGAIN The marriage recently of Mrs. Nellie Grant Sartorla to Frank H. Jones, a Chicago banker, was In sharp contrast to her first marriage, 38 years ago, to Algernon J. Sartoris, an English army officer. Nellie Grant was then the Idol of the nation and her marriage took place In the east room of the White House while her distinguished father was president It wasjne of the greatest social events the White House had seen up to that time, or perhaps slnoe. Simple, amiable and unaffected, Nellie Grant, the only daughter of General Grant, bad endeared herself to the American people and she went with her husband to their English home accompanied by the heartiest good wishes. In England she was presented to Queen Victoria and dined at Windsor Castle. Yet her life in England proved most unhappy. Her husband treated her with Injustice and cruelty, so much so that her fatber-ln-lawsympathy was aroused in her behalf and he made earnest efforts to effect a restoration of good feeling between husband and wife. Failing in this, he gave her a small London house In Cadogan place, forced his son to give her a country home near Hampton and settled a handsome Income upon her. Upon his death. In 1890, he left her the town house In which she had lived after her separation from her husband and also settled upon her 35,000 a year. Three years after the death of the elder Sartoris her husband died and Mrs. Sartorirs received the principal of his Income, as guardian of her children, and the lease of the country house. s BIDDLES UNIQUE METHODS It is a far cry from prize fighting to religion.
