Judge Tuley, of Chicago, says in sub
stance that the bucket shop or small
gambler in produce and stocks IS a
necessary check to the monopollstic ex-
actions of the great board of trade, ana
is therefore not only entitled to an ex-
istence, but also to the protection Oh tle
court. The difference between the
bucket and the board is only IN degree
and while the public do not endorse the
methods of either it will very cordially
endorse the action of the court IN the

that of building up Kansas City and

Does Mr. Chappeu propose by his talk to

state IN which his corporation does not

which state have put more dollars into
the pockets OF his owners than have the
people of any other state: Does not the

generations would be priceless.
Tie English themselves nre not free
from repl zach in this matter. Many an

TIE LATE LADY HOLLAND.
Sketch of the Last Tenant of the Historic
Holland House.

Sketch of the Last Tenant of the Historic
Holland House.
A great number of articles have been
written lately. saws London Truth, os-
.ensibly about Lady Holland, but
really about Holland House. Several
journals confused the Lady Holland
who has just died with her famous
mother-in-law, who has been in her
grave for fortv-four years. and in emu
merating the former habitues of Hol-
land House they mention "Disraeh the
Younger" who never entered within
its gates in the time of Tie Lady Hol-
land. The late Lady Holland was
once described as a copy of her mother
in-law seen through the small end of ar
opera glass; but she was a clever wom-
an and her conversational powers were
remarkable.
She was kind and stanch friend to
those whom she liked. Lady Hollands
garden parties at Holland House,
which were discontinued about six
years ago in consequence of her increas-
ing infrmities, were very remarkable
entertainments. There was always a
great gathering of ROYALTIES, with all
the best of the really smart people,
and large number of guests who were
distinguished only for their own talents
but the nouveauX riches herd were rig
orously excluded. Lady Holland con-
tinued her small dinner parties and
receptions until the last, and when out
Of town she received guests every week
at st. AIMS Hill. Her death closes
the very last salon in London, and
many of the habitues of Holland House
will feel the blank as long as they can
feel anything.
The property in which she had life
interest is now divided. The Earl OF
Leicester succeeds to the kensingtOn
property, with a steadily increasing
rent roll Lord LiffOrd will become the
possessor of the Wiltshire estates
which for some years have been very
unproductive, and he will also inherit
the old family place at Chertsey. The
BriXton property, which came to the
late Lord Holland through the mar
rage of his father with Miss Nassall
goes wholly or in part to Earl Russell
in recognition, presumably of the til
which once bound the late Lord John
to the Wings through 50 many years
for there is no Blood connection be
tween the two families. The outer,
raised about the possible destruction
of Holland House is, at all events, pre-
mature.
The plans which Mr.. Turner ant
other anxious friends have seen hav
been known for some time, and a close
inspection would have shown then
that all that was intended was to max
a crescent-shaped road behind Mr.
Watts statue Of the late Lord Holland
This would not more than cover til
space occupied by the field which lie
between the High road and Hollan
Park itself and would in no way inter
fere with Holland House or its imme
date surroundings. As a matter {
fact, the house is now almost shut on
from view, and the public might, /
reality, see it better from the new lOa
than it now does from the old one.

to find that his wife had seized a large

In looking up the peculiar names
given each IF the twelve months of the
year it becomes necessary for us to
60 back to the old Romans, who have
imposed upon us n set of names equally
as absurd as those of the Norsemen
Scandinayiaus and SaXons applied to
the week. January is named from
Janus, the god of doors and gates, be
cause the month opens the year Some
say that he was a two faced god and
could look back on the last year and
forward TO the coming.
February is from februo to purify.
March was originally the first month
and was named for Mars the god of
war.
April is from aperire to open. b.
Cause the buds open ia that month
MAY is from Maia u goddess.
june is fpm Juno, the patron OF
marriage. aul is therefore the fayorite
