One Of the Heirs to Many Millions.
Sperial IN the Globe

CHICAGO, March 25.-W. L. Lawrence, a
clerk in the mailing department of the post
office, has received letters from sister liv-
ing in Rochester, N. Y, telling him that
he is one of 149 heirs to an English estate
valued at s1s0,O0o,0OO. According
to these letters the Lawrences are
a branch Of an English family
named Townley. As the story goes his
great grandfather on his mothers side was
William Townley, the only son Of Lord
Townley of Townley hall. William fell in
love with his mother, then waiting maid,
and eloped to America, leaving his heritage
behind. He was killed in one of the battles
of the revolution. He left two soDs. Boas
Huntley Townley and Samuel .Towuley, and
the Lawrences are descendants Of the latter.
Mr. Lawrence is not inclined to put much
faith in the story, thinking that possibly the
estate exists only in the minds of unscrupu-
lous lawyers who wish to get fat fees for
looking into the matter. Some of the heirs,
however, are investigating it.

SOCIETY AGITATED.
The Secretary of War Naughty, Mean
Man, for Sending Away the Army
Bows,

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON. March 25.-Society is filed
with alarm over the report that the new Sec
retary of war is going to order to the front
all the young military dudes that have been,
putting in their time as leaders of the ger
man and all that sort of thing here this win
ter, and many other winters for that matter.
Men in society have been so scarce all along
that there has been great difficulty in getting
sufficient material for these social events,
and now if the army people who have been
SO useful as well as ornamental in this par
ticular are to be rudely snatched away and
society left helpless there will be great sad
ness Nevertheless Secretary Endicott goes
on as though he didn't care a snap what So
ciety thought so long as he has a duty to per-
form. He received the war department from
his predecessor in generally good condition
and standing In no need of
radical. REFORMS,
but the fact that go many military men or
meu with military titles, many of them young
officers who had never repaid the government
a cent for the cost of their education, were
found comfortably ensconced at the national
capital leading germans instead of their
country neither service nor credit, struck Mr..
Endicott as not only an astonishing incon
gruity, but an evil prejudicial to good discip-
line and unjust to army men who have a
proper appreciation of their professions and
are exhibiting it at remote garrisons or in
the field. 1t is, therefore, his announced in
tention to break up this holiday sort of life at
the governments expense, and make such
changes of the detail as will not only afford
those who have long done faithful
DUTY ON THE FRONTIER
an opportunity to enjoy a reasonable degree
of relaxing in such home positions as 1t may
be necessary to maintain, but at the same
time to reduce the number of these positions
to the lowest possible limit. In the mean
time the young men who have been posing
as carpet knights in society circles in Wash
ingtoR and other cities for, nobody knows
how long, or who have been increasing their
stock of military knowledge at poker clubs,
or who have been filing bureau places for
which no need exists that they should be
filed at all, will be given an opportunity TO
brace up and breathe more wholesome air
and the discharge Of duties better fitting
their alleged vocation as soldiers.

ment had not to-day received any news from
Russia concerning the pending negotiations
in regard to the Afghan boundary question.
