LONDON, Nov. l0.-The Duke of Marl-
borough was found dead in bed at Blen-
helm Palace yesterday.
At O'Clock the Dukes valet entered
HE bedroom with the Dukes early choc-
olate. The Duke apparently was sleep
ing peacefully and the valet withdrew.
When the valet returned, some twenty
minutes later. he noticed that his mas
ter's face was unusually pallid. Shortly
before 10 o'clock, upon returning to the
room. he saw that the Duke had not
moved. He laid his hand on the Dukes
forehead aud found 1t TO be stone cold.
He alarmed the rest OF the servants, but
feared to tell the Duchess, who eventu-
ally learned the news from her maid.
DIR. Caldwell. after superficial exami-
nation of the body, said that the duke
had been dead for six or seven hours
There were no signs Of violence or suffer
ing;
heir. and Lord Randolph Churchill, the
dukes brother, went To w oodsJock during
the afternoon. They tried TO persuade
DIR. Caldwell To certify to death from
heart disease that an inquest might be
avoided. DIR. Caldwell refused TO do so,
aud the inquest probably will be held to-
morrow.
The inquest would have been demanded
by life insurance companies, as the duke
carried heavy insurance. Th-re are
rumors that the duke died of an overdose
of choral.
The record of the late duke is most
unsavory one, and has been replete with
scandal. He was mar red just before he
succeeded TO the dukedom, and the story
of his welded life became public prop
erty. His harsh aud brutal treatment
of mis- first wife and his connection with
the Countess Aylesford resulted in a suit
for divorce. The details of the trial re-
vealed a story of cruelty. immortality an d
crime which shocked the public.
lie acted the part of a base man even
with Lady Aylesford. After they had
lived together in Paris for some time he
treated her so badly that she was glad TO
throw herself on the charity of friends
Not long ago he was correspondent with
Lady Colin Campbell, but nothing came
oil the suit.
A few years ago the duke came TO this
country for the purpose OF seeking an
alliance with wealthy American. His
reputation followed him, and nearly every
heiress with whom he came in contact de-
clined the doubtful honor. lie at last
became acquainted with Mrs. Hammers
ley OF New York, he widow of Louis D.
Hammersley, who, with his father were
weff-KnOwn chHraEters IN and about NUw
York city. The widow became the wife
OF the late duke, the marriage ceremony
being performed by Mayor Hewett. The
welded pair Immediately went TO Eng
land. They proceeded at once to Blen-
helm palace at Woodstock, Oxtordshire.

sun-spots.


NJ. Faye, n well-known French as
tronomer, has long maintained that there
il a resem blance between sun-spots and
cyclones. According to this view, in
which few astronomers have been in
clined to agree with NJ. Faye, a sun-spo.
in the blazing atmosphere OF tine sun,
and the downward tendency OF the Sur-
rents of the centre of the whirl causes
the darkness Of the spot through the ac-
emulation OF partially cooled vapors
there.
1t 10 true that this 10 just contrary to
the generally accepted view OF the con-
duct OF a cyclone, in which the air cur
rents are supposed to bs ascending at the
centre, but NJ. Faye argues stoutly that
cyclones really have currents descending
from above at the centre.
However this may be, q recent compar-
ison Of the paths pursued by cyclones on
the earth with those OF spots on the sun
seems to lend some support to M. Faye's
hypothesis.
II certainly does not detract from the
interest with which sun-spots are re-
garded IL we look upon them, or some OF
them at least, as fiery whirlwinds in
which the vapors OF iron and other metals
play the part OF the air, and In which our
massive earth, IL IT. could DO thrown
there, would spin like top under the
lash.-Youth's Companion.

with ru bier string around IL. FrenZied
with delight at his good fortune he
struck bee-line for the newspaper Of
fee where he was employed, resigned
his position without assigning any cause
and left Milwaukee on the first ira in 60

riotously for eight months, and though h
he read advertisements In he papers OF
the unfortunate bank collector, who had
lost the money, Offering on e. half OF it IL
the finder would return, he paid no at
tention to these appeals. At the end OF

old position at an increased salary was
offered to him, but this he refused,
though he didn't have a cent. He did no
work, nor did he want any. Ho put In

In and day out he trampcd that street,
with bis head bent forward like . man

kept this up for nearly a month. Con-
tinual and dogged disappointment made
the strain too greatapfor him to bear. His

Election day dawned dark aud rainy
after a night of steady, gentle down fall,
but by s o'clock fresh west wind had
cleared the clouds away. and soon a bril-
liant sun shone on gay flags fluttering in
honor OF the day. IL is to be hoped that
the voters who came from beyond the
village limits to cast their ballots for
national interests will remember the
condition OF our streets this morning
when next the question of macadamized
roads comes up for consideration. When,
after six hours of glorious sunshine and
a brisk wind, IL is necessary to pick ones
way with utmost care along the main
street to avoid mud and puddles, IL would
seem that the case requires serious
Thought looking toward betterment of
the situation.
The present election was characterized
by the fullest vote ever cast I'm this dis
trict. Out of a register of 2ss there were
254 votes polled.
There was IA good attendance at the
meeting in Ashaway Hall to hear the
returns. The Campbell Mills brass band
furnished music aud collation. was
served. The returns were given from
time to time and were greeted by Repub-
lican and Democratic cheers. rs the Que
