A DUCHESS JAILED.
England's Four Hundred Much
Shocked At the Action
Of the Court.

LONDON, April lS.-The Dowager
Duchess, OF Sutherland, was to-day
committed to Holloway prisoner I'M
der sentence of imprisonment for
six weeks imposed by Sir Francis
Jeune, president of the court of pro
bate, for contempt of court. Notwith-
standing that the imprisonment OF a
British duchess in common Jail Is
probably unprecedented in England,
the affair did not excite any great sur
prise among the public. and it has
been anticipated that the court
would take severe action in view
of the fragrant contempt with
which the Duchess was charged.
The will of the late Duke Suther-
land was highly favorable to the Do
wager Duchess. The present Duke
contested it and proceedings have been
carried on with much bitterness. Last
Saturday in the probate court, the
counsel of the present Duke asked
that a writ of attachment should he
issued against the Dowager Duchess
ga e grcu: that having obtained
an order to inspect certain papers she
had deliberately placed in the fire a
document which under order she was
permitted to inspect.
When the case came up to-day, an
affidavit was presented in favor of the
Duchess setting forth that a document
which she had burned was private
letter written to her by her late hus-
band before marriage.
She had not thought it any harm to
destroy letter of that character, and
she closed by offering an apology to
the court. Sir Francis Jeune COM
mented in the severest manner upon
the action of which the Duchess had
been guilty. He said it was evident
that the destruction of the document
had been deliberately planned and
that it was effected by violence and
deceit. 1t had been shown that when
she DESTROYED the letter she said
it was letter from her to
the late Duke. Now she says
it was letter from the late Duke to
her. The action of the Duchess had
DESTROYED any possibility of his believ.
ing her. A sentence of six weeks
| imprisonment was then In
dorseG and the court also SEN
fenced the Duchess to pay fine OF
$50 pounds.
When the news of the sentence was
communicated to the dOwager Duchess
and her friends they shed tears and
exhibited great Indignation. The
Duchess hurried into her carriage and
accompanied by her solicitors rode of
to Holloway iail. She was lodged as
first class offender.

How Long do Birds Live:.

Herr Weismann. a distinguished
German biologist, has pointed out
that the average duration of life OF
bids is by no means we'll known.
Small singing birds live from eight
To eighteen years. Ravens have lived
100 years and parrots still longer in
captivity. Fowls live from ten to
twenty years. The wild goose lives
over 100 years, and swans are said
to have attained the age Of 800. The
long life Of birds has been regarded
as compensation for their lack of fer
tility and the great mortality of their
young.

The chief danger lies outside of the
White House. So far no attempt has ever
been made to attack President in the
executive mansion. The risks are too
great. The attacks upon Jackson, Lincoln
and Garfield were all made when they
were away from the house, and the scheme
TO abduct Lincoln Included the capturing
him while he was on his way TO the
Soldiers Home. The guards which are
now placed abouta a President when he is
away from office are better than they have
ever been before, and the safety of the
President is carefully watched when he is
at his country nome. Eight mounted
policemen patrol the roads of this part of
the Washington suburbs. and you can

has, in fact, never been so efficient as it is
