LONDON, Nov. 1S.-The story of
dwyneth Maud, and her unhappy mother,
who committed suicide yesterday on ac.
count of the shame caused by the ex-
posure of the daughters thefts, calls at
tention to the large and increasing num-
Der of scions of aristocracy who are gain
ing living in this city by low methods
1t is said that the noble earl, noted for
his dissipated manner of living, was
amazed recently to find among the in.
mates Of disorderly house he visited his
own niece, who recognized the earl by
his pictures which she had seen. His
lordship rescued the girl from her unfor-
tunate surroundings.
1t is said that last week the Younger
brother Of baronet of ancient lineage
was arrested under an assumed name for
swindling. He gave the excuse that he
was driven to crime and starvation and
was too proud to go near his brother who
was, indeed, not 80 much better off.
The case of Sir Henry Valentine Goold,
the old Irish baronet, SO years of age.
who has been exposed as the stool pigeon
in literary imposture, is an other in
stance. Poor old Goold is in his second
childhood but has virtually nothing to
live on. He comes from an ancient
family, being decended from mayor of
Cork in the reign of Henry VIII. He
has gold Fl chcs on his armoral crest but
that is about all the gold that is left of
that family. He will probably not be
prosecuted.
In BARRIERS shop on the Thames em
bankment one may be shaved and have
his hair dressed by barber who claims
descent from the plantagents and whose
name certainly appeared among the
younger branches Of one of England's
| ducal houses. He told correspondent
that he was given 200 pounds when he
| came of age and ticket to Australia,
| but that he did not like Australia and
| when he came back his relatives declined
to do anything more for him. During
his brief stay in Australia he learned /,
trade from necessity, and when he go
back he took to shaving as means o
lvlihood.
Will Make 1t Interesting.
Mr.. Gladstone is in good health anG
likely to make the coming session in
teresting for the opponents of home rule
The premier is said to be very mucl
stirred up over Lord Salisbury's articl
about the house of lords, and it is saiC
by those who are supposed to know
Liberal secrets that if the honse of lord
rejects home bill, passed by the com
mons, Mr.. Gladstone will seize the pre-
text to appoint not less than 200 hbera
peers, choosing men of ability fror
every walk of life.
