OLD LORD DE RIOS
Famon. Sea ndai Recalled by an Ap-
J,ruaching Marriage.

Lord de Ros, who is just about 10 marry
Miss Mahon, Is gay old wfdower of about
seventy, who holds the rank of general in
the army and was Tor many years amcmber
OF the queens household. Lord de Ros is the
premier baron of England and the twenty
first holder OF the title.
IL was his uncle who created such ter
rible scandal in the early part ofQueen Vic
toria's reign by being discovered in the act
of cheating at cards AT tue Travellers Club
In London.
For fuu two years prior to the scandal
Lord de Ros had been suspected OF unfair
practices. and the only reason why he was
permitted TO go on cheating was that sew
eral of the men who subsequently became
his accu sers were wont, with more cynicism
than honesty so bet on his hand, knowing
that he was cheating.
The ma tier efnlighthaveGonen on indefinitely
had not society newspaper, called the
Satirist got hold of the story and published
an account of it charging him with dis
honest practices. Lord de Ros was then
compelled to bring legal proceeding against
the paper.
There were almost as many peers and
uobienen who went into the witness box
for the purpose OF cxcusing Lord dc Ros
on the ground OF alteration OF mind and
of other wise tcstifying in his behalf as there
We're noblenicn who figured as his ac-
cusers. chief among the latter being Lord
Henry Bentinck and the grcat.sportSnian,
George Payne.
The jury decided in favor OF the satirist
which was equivalent 20 a Geclara tion that
Lord de Ros was guilty of the practices
imputed to him.
On the following day Lord de Ros left
England forever. after having been per-
l,.It-a TO resign fFnnI al c':.hs To which
belonged: and, finding, even after this pub
lie declaration of iiis guilt, defender In
the London Times. which editoriaily de-
clareJi that there were extenuating ctrcum-
stances to be urged in his behalf-thoush
what extenuatiug circumstances there can
be for a mans cheating at cards IL is dirfi-
cult to understand.
Under the circumstances the maine or DE
Ros, in spite of its antiquity and mediaeval
luster, can scarcely nowadays be looked
