of news by the Canada, announces that the Duke of
Leeds was dead, and adds in parenthesis that che

The deceased nobleman did not marry Miss Caton
but Lady Hervey, the widow of Sir FELTON, Hervey
Bart, and third daughter of Richard Cation, of Bal
timore, Maryland The Duke of Leeds, besides
marrying an American woman, had large amounts
invested in American securities and, when Marquis
OF Carmarthen, was considerable stOckho lder of
the Manhattan Banking Company. lie was mar
ried in 1928, and succeeded his father in the
Dukedom in the year 1893. His titles, be-
sides Duke of Leeds and Marquis of Carmar-
then, were Earl Dandy, Viscount Latimer,
Hiscount Osborne, Baron Conyears, Baron
Osborne, and an English Baron. He had no chill
dren, and is succeeded in his titles by Lord Go

the three sisters who married the Duke of Leeds
the Marquis Wellesley, and Lord Stafford had no
offspring. The elder, the Marchioness of Weles-
ley, died few years since, and her two sisters the
Duchess ofl4eeds and the Baroness Stafford are

WHAT Is SHoDDY-The first time we ever hap
pened to see the above mysterious looking word,
was few days since, in our telegraphic despatch
es, wherein it stated that a "shoddy" manufac-
tory had been burned. An article on Yorkshire,
in the Westminster Rerieu, for April, explains this
curious word. 1t says: ''Not the least important
of the manufacturing towns is Bailey, the chief
seat of that great latter day staple of England
Shoddy. This is the famous rag capitalize tat
