THE ALLAN ELOPEMENT.
The Canadian Senate Grants Divorce to
Mr.. Hebden Whose Wife Eloped With
Jack Allan.'

Mr.. Hebden whose Wlfe Elopeu Win
"Jack Allan
One of the most sensational divorce
cases that is likely to come up in the
Dominion Parliament this season was
before the divorce committee of the
Senate at Ottawa, Thursday morning.
Robert Y. Hebden. agent of the Bank OF
Montreal in New York, is the plaintiff in
the case, and he seeks divorce from his
wife, who it will be remembered last
wear eloped with John S. Allan, son
of Andrew Allan of the Allan
Steamship Company. Mr.. Hebden was
married to his wife in 1879, the latter be-
ing some 70 years his Junior. Jack"
Allan was one of Montreal's "400'' and
possessed of large fortune, which he
inherited from his father, Andrew Allan,
the millionaire shipowner.
In the committee two cabmen testified
to having repeatedly driven Allan and
Mrs. Hebden at all hours, but the only
indiscretion they had ever observed was
on one occasion seeing Mr.. Allan with
his arm around Mrs. Hebden's neck. A
Terrebone hotel keeper and his daugh-
ter were also examined, and established
the fact that on several occasions the
couple had been at their hotel. The
committee agreed to report the case to
the Senate, recommending that an alb
solute divorce be granted Mr.. Hebden.
Although the whereabouts of Allan
and Mrs. Hebden are not known, it is
generally believed that they are residing
in Australia, as Allan's fortune gives
him competence to take up his domi-
cile anywhere beyond the reach of the
injured husband, who, report says, is
not likely to be satisfied with the legal
redress he is seeking from the Senate.
The first intimation which Mr.. Heb
den received of his wife's infdelity was
in letter which he received from Mrs.
Allan. He sent the letter to Allan and
that precipitated the elopement of the
ouilty pair,

THEIR ORDER OF PRECEDENCE.
How the English Aristocracy Takes Rank
from Duke to Esquire.

from Duke to Esquire.
1t sometimes happens that in writ
ing of the English nobility young au-
thors are not quite familiar with their
subject, and make mistakes concern
ing the different steps or degrees in the
peeragc. Perhaps Il simple cxplana-
ton of the matter may DC found use
ful III clearing up loose conceptions.
The highest-though not the oldest
rank in Britain below royalty is that
of duke. The first dulicdom created
was the duScdom of Cornwall. he
slowed on Edward, the Black Prince.
and it now appertains, as matter OF
right, from the moment of his birth. TO
the eldest son of the rcigning mon
arch. The formal manner of address
ing dulie-his style" as it is tcchni-
cally called--is "his grace, the duke
OF " so-and-so. a duke is the only no.
bleman whom it is allowable in con-
vcrsation to address by the namo of
his rank as. for instance, ''as was re-
marking. duke" Next to duke comes
marquis, or marques, as the word is
now more usually spelled. The word
means lord of the marches or borders.
a marques is addressed as "thc most
noble, the marquess,' etc. The next
degree below marques is an earl.
1t is distinctivcly English term, its
equivalent abroad being count. al
though, curiously enough, an carl's
wife is known as countess. An earl
is addressed us "the right honorable.
the carl Of" etc. After the earl comes
the viscount. The name bears its for
cign origin on it's face, and was for
mcrly applied to Il person who acted rs
sheriff of a county in the place of the
count or earl. Like the earl he is adj
dressed as 1.-The right honorable, the
viscount." etc. The lowest rank in the
british peeragc is that of baron. al
though in one sense of the word every
peer is a baron. This arises from the
fact that. according to the old fcuGial
law. every man who possessed certain
land. was called a baron, and as Il con-
dition of his possessing them had to
bring into the field n certain number
of armed men at the call OF the sovcr-
cign. Below the pecragc are the baro-
nets, knights and csquircs. The latter
title is now applied promiscuously; at
law, however. there are only certain
classes of the queens subjects entitled
to this ancient and honorable appclla-
ton. These are sons OF peers, and tho
eldest sons of the youngest sons of
peers and their eldest sons; the eldest
sons of knights and their eldest sons:
gentlemen specially created csquircs by
the queen; esquircs of knights of the
tbath; justices of the peace, and 9th
ers with similar eX-ofiicio title and bar
ristcrs.

EMUlATING SULLIVAN.
An Australian Kangaroo That Knows the
Science of tho Prize Ring.


Science of the Prize Ring.
NEW YORK, June 9.-Thc boxing kanga-
roo from Australia, which has been a side
show attraction in London for year,
made his Introductory appearance in this
city before body of newspaper men at
Madison Square Garden.
According to the story told by the mas
ter of ceremonies. the Kangaroo was raised
by hand by European Snowman. His
mother was captured wild. and after she
arrived in Europe it was discovered that
concealed in her pouch WAS Il sucking in
FAINT. She died soon after and her baby
was brought up on a nursing bottle. He
developed his pugilistic tendencies while
running around loose with the show. Then
he was trained.
He made his appearance in the ring
adorned with n belt which looked some
thing like Free Mason's apron, and with
gloves on his front paws. There was no
doubt about his desire to fight. for he
tackled the master of ceremonies as soon
as he was introduced. His opponent was
in full ring costume. "Shake hands" cried
the master of ceremonies.
The kangarooput both forepaws together
and touched them to the gloves of the
darkey. Standing at ease with his hooks
on the floor, the kangaroo was full as tall

AT the call of time he pounced up and
went hopping about the negro, sparring
!or an opening. He can't strike out from
The shoulder. but he is great us Il wrestler.
Up on his hind feet and supported from
behind or the curve of his big, strong tail,
he was head and shoulders above the negro.
The latter simulated blows, but had to do
some lively lodging to keep away. Pretty
soon the kangaroo closed and wrapped his
forelcgs about the negroes neck. Then he
hoped clear OF the ground, supported
himself on the end OF his tail, and struck
right and left with his hind feet.
Between the rounds the master of cere-
monies famed the fighters with towel
The Kangaroo would throw his little head

The people of the Spanish capital are
much amused at the cgotistic estimate
recently placed upon his attainmcnts
by u young grandce. Among the in
tcrcsting ceremonies at the Spanish
court is the appearance before the
queen regent at stated times of the in
hcritors of the title of grandcc. the
most coveted distinction in the land.
The ceremony is quaint The new

cestors and his own deeds as reasons
for his assumption of the dignity. At
the last reception the duke of Tarifa.
the youngest son of the duchess of
Medinaelli, was among the new gran
dees. But when it came his turn to
tell why he should be grandee he re-
counted with pride the fact that he
had been graduated from the polytech-
nicum as an engineer! The queen re-
gent was not deeply impressed with
the dukes qualifications, as many of
his classmates surpassed him in attain.

But there is another side which
should appeal to Roanoke more
forcibly than any expectation of
material gain. We refer to the ele-
waiting and refining influence Of this
splendid new institution on the whole
community. From it's doors the public
schools Of Roanoke will recruit their
teachers, and in turn the whole com.
munity will receive the benefit of
higher standards and more thorough
education.
One Of the most noticeable features OF
the college Is the elasticity OF its
courses. So wide is the range OF studies
and SO varied the list presented that il
is possible for two hundred pupils TO be
educated and yet no two attend pre-
cisely the same classes. There is an
entire absence of anything like a fore
ing process. Natural methods and
making the studies attractive is re-
garded as the better way.
