BoRDENTowN, N. J.. July 3d. There is
a ripple today in the quiet of this his
toric old town-the home of the Bona
parties. 1t is associated with the report
of the approaching marriage of Prince
Joachim Napoleon Murat, grandson of
King Murat and granddaughter of Napo-
leon l, with Miss Gwendoline Caldwell,
who, with her sister, is well known as
the founder of Catholic university at
Washington. The rumor afioat is that
Miss Caldwell is about to purchase the
old Bonaparte estate at Point Breeze,
Just above here.
the park portion of this once splendid
estate still exists entire. Behind an old
picket fence its broad acres are spread
out like a carpet of dark green velvet,
and the white walls of the ancient tum-
BILE down mansion house are plainly dis
cernible through the trees that environ
it. Here was what was called the Lake
house, the home of Princess Zenaide,
companied him to America in his exile.
The Old Manor.
1t was a fine house in its day, as the
three wide doorways opening upon the
veranda indicate. Its rear stood In
what at the time of its erection was a
lake, and at that time it overhung the
water like a Venetian palace. The
brook that crosses the dusty pike under
a really fine arched bridge. which Prince
Bonaparte built at his own cost, now
winds through reedy marsh.
When he. purchased the place in 1916
one of the princes first acts was to build
dam across the narrow valley at the
mouth of this little stream, and thus to
create a pretty lake 200 yards broad by
nearly half mile long. In this lake
were several islands, with velvety grass,
young trees and fine shrubbery. Black
and white swans added life to the idyllic
picture. Stairways of stone led down
the side of an abrupt bluff to boat
landing, where little, fleets of pleasure
craft, bright with colored awnings, lay
moored. =
An Underground Passage.
Right here was mystery. From the
shora Of the lake to the house of Prince
Bonaparte was an underground passage
way, carefully walled by brick and

this curious passage is clearly discernible
on the lake front, and, descending the
stone steps, three arched doorways are
seen. One Of them is large enough for
a railroad train, the others are small as
postefn gates.
Long rows of stately sentry pines
guard the broad lawn on which stands
the modern manor house, built by Henry
Beckett, son of Sir John Beckett, of
Somersby park, Lincolnshire, England.
1t is an italian villa of three stories, and
contains twenty-five spacious apart
ments, besides many corridors and mar
row passageways. 1t has been unten-
ated for many years. Its massive door
frames and really imposing stairway
and rotpnda stamp it as an architectural
effort of no mean taste and skill.
All the gates about the mansion are
kept locked for the reason that almost
annually some crank or other attempts
to take possession on the ground that he
or she is entitled to the establishment by
right of descent.

Moriey's Motion Rejected.

LONDON, July 39.-In the house of
commons last night Mr.. Morley spoke
for the grants amendment, which re-
quires promise that no further grants
shall be asked for younger members of
the royal family. Mr.. Chamberlain op-
posed the amendment and Mr.. Labou-
chere advocated it. The amendment
was rejected S55 to 1874. Mr.. Gladstone,
the Parnellites and most of the Liberals
voted with the majority.
Wales Much Displeased.
Well founded reports are to the effect
that the Prince of Wales is anything
but pleased over the royal grant wran.
gle, which was continued in parliament
up to the time for his daughters mar
rage. 1t must be embarrassing to the
bride and to her relatives to note the
hatred of one party and the fierce cham
pionship of the other in this matter.
The Government Fears the Radicals.
The strength of that party opposed to
the royal grants has become SO great as
to drive the government to consider the
expediency of revising the civil list. A
majority of the cabinet favor this plan.
They think that better terms can be OBJ.
tanned from the present parliament than
from the succeeding one, which is Ger.
tain to have an increase of democratic
spirit.
Lord Salisbury is in quandary over
the question of revision. He feels the
weight of responsibility and cannot fail
to see the storm which he reluctantly
admits to himself to be brewing. Lord
Salisbury knows that vast amount of
the queens subjects read the words
