CREST.

al at that age, they happen to be engaged
in one or more love affairs, it is best not
to precipitate complications.
The Earl of Ronaldshay, now 10, is heir
to the marquisate of Zetland. This title is
of recent origin.
Viscount Castlereagh, aged II, is heir to
the marquisate of Londonderry. Seaham
Hall, Sunderland, will be Castlereagh's
home, or one of them, when he becomes
marquis. From the estate of 80, 1913 acres,
held in six counties, he will have the very
comfortable income of G1OO, 118, or about
$500, 900.
After the available candidates for the
rank of marquis come the earls. There are
119 of the United Kingdom, A of Scot
land and So of Ireland. Two existing earl
doms of the United Kingdom, Derby and
Shrewsbury and Talbot, date back to the
fifteenth century. Three-Devon, Hunt
ingdon and Pembroke and Montgomery
were bestowed in the sixteenth century
Eighteen of the present earldoms were
granted in the seventeenth century and 80
have been held from between 100 to $50
years. Thirty nine of the Scotch earldoms
are over 300 years old and 90 in the Irish
peerage of this rank are in their second
century of existence.
Lord Hyde is heir to the earldom Of Clar
endon. He is 10. Here is chance for an
heiress. His rent roll will only bring him
a gross annual income of $40, 600, and
there will be lots of expenses to meet out
of that. His pedigree is good.
Viscount Helmsley is heir to the earldom
Of Feversham. His age is Is. The present
earl's age is &c.
Viscount Boringdon is the Earl of Nor
ley's heir; age, 10. His estate will only
produce about $40, 900 yearly. But if his
bride has, say, twice as much, how nicely
they both could live!
Viscount Cranley is heir to the earldom
of Onslow. He is 10. The acreage Of the
Onslow estate is IS, 488, but the yearly
rental of 500, 900 ought to be supplemented.
Viscount Andover is next on the roll
for the earldom of Suffolk and Berkshire.
He is 10, will live at Charlton park,
Malmesbury, will own 11,G98 acres or
thereabout, and will receive in the shape
of rents ETC., every year some SO, 900.
Lord Kilmarnock will by and by be
Earl of Enrol. He Is in his nineteenth
year. The estate spreads over 1000 acres,
yielding about Sc, 900 year.
Lord Inverurie, heir to the Scottish earl
dom of Kintore, Is 10. His address as an
earl will be Keith hall, Inverurie. He will
own IS, 433 acres and will have an income
of about $4,000.
Lord Aberdour will succeed to the earl
dom of Morton. He is II. The home es-
tate is Dalmahoy, Midcalder. The acreage
of the Morton lands is IS, 161 and the in
come about $11O, 600.
| ViscOunt Dunlnce is heir to the Irish
earldom of Antrim. He is in his seven
| teenth year. When he assumes the higher
dignity, his principal place of residence
will be Glenarm castle, Antrim. The es-
tate occupies "a, 4O4 acres, with gross
annual rental of about 100000.

Population VS.. Salaries.

The assessors returns for the year
1895 show that the population Of Sum-
ner county is less than $1,000. This
fact effects the salary of the county
commissioners and, should the speci-
al fee and salary law passed last win
ter for this county prove to be uncon-
stitutiOnal, it will effect several other
salaries of county officers.
The Doubleday act of 1893 did not
mention the compensation of county
commissioners; neither does the law
of 1895. But under the general law,
when the population of a county is
less than $4,000 the commissioners re-
ceive $500 per day and are limited to
nine days at each regular session.
They also receive $500 per day for
all special sessions that are required
Oy law or may be called, but cannot
receive more than $500 per year.
Heretofore they have received a fixed
salary of $500 per year.
If the general law is in force, the
county attorney should receive only
$1,000 a year; but the special act,
copied from the Doubleday act, gives
him $500 a year. So that it is
worth $780, year to Harry Woods to
have the Doubleday law upheld.
The general law would give the
county clerk $500 while the Double
day law allows him $1,000.
As the salary of the county super
intendent depends upon the number
of school children in the county, it is
possible although not probable that
County Superintendent Warmers sala-
ry may be effected by the decrease in
population.

Rachel Florence Riley, daughter Of
Prof. and Mrs. ]. F. Riley, was born
March 49, 1894, and died June II, 1895.
She was i'll but few days and was un-
conscious most Of the time.
Florence was bright, sweet child,
and the pride Of her fond parents

After Hatch's Scaln

Those who have been familiar with
the affairs Of Morrill's administration
will not be surprised that there is
trouble brewing between H. f. Hatch,
superintendent Of the Hutchinson re-
fOrmatory, and the board Of mana.
gers. In the first instance the board
went off half cooked" and appointed
Hatch contrary to the wishes of the
administration. The following taken
from the Topeka Journal gives the
beginning Of the end of Mr.. Hatch
officially:
The board Of managers Of the
Hutchinson refOrmatory, J. NJ. Hum
phrey of Fort Scott, Senator John
Armstrong Of Great Bend and Tully
scott Of Oberlin are here today to
have talk with Governor Morrill,
and Attorney General Dawes about
Captain Fl. f. Hatch, the superinten-
dent Of the refOrmatOry.
The members Of the board say that
CAPTAIN Hatch is trying to run the
affairs of the refOrmatory without
consulting them.
They complain first that hewent to
State Auditor George E Cole and
tried to make arrangements to get
money to open the institution before
the appropriations were due and that
this was the business Of the board.
They say he then went to the state
penitentiary and picked out forty
prisoners to be transferred to the re-
formatory without consulting the
members of the board.
His last act however, and that
which they say is INSTRUMENTATION, is
that after the board had contracted
for the furniture Of the ,institution
with the Alternately Furniture COM
pany of Kansas City, Mr.. Hatch de-
clared that no furniture from Aber.
nathy's should come into the institu-
tiOn while he was there and said he
would not stay if the board insisted
on buying it from Alternately.
The members Of the board say they
have no intention Of revoking their
order with Alternately and Mr.. Hatch
will likely have to go. The law pro-
vides that the board can remove the
superintendent and after charges
have been filed and he has been given
a hearing. The row will be glad
news to Cy Leland, as he was opposed
to Hatch in the first place.

Bird Refuses to Resign.
Topeka Capital, %.

1
Governor Morrill, has asked Labor
Commissioner Bird to resign because
of his acts in eYacting from his clerk,
John Speer, and his stenographer,
Miss Hayes, portion Of their month
ly salaries, as made public in the Capt.
tai yesterday morning. Mr.. Bird has
refused to resign and criminal pro
ceedings will be instituted at once.
The affair was the general topic Of
conversation at the state house yes
terday. State officers expressed great
surprise on the exposure of the case
in the Capital. Criticism was reserv-
ed, but there was a general feeling
akin to indignation directed toward
Mr.. Bird on account of the manner 10
which he has manipulated the salar-
les OF his employees for the benefit, as
ne says, of a contingent fund which
he hopes to use in the employment Of
a clerk after the expiration of the
present fiscal year, June 30.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Bird.
John Speer, the complainant, and At
torney General Dawes were in confer
ence with Governor Morrill,. The gov
er was very much astonished at the
facts in the case and Mr.. Bird made
no denials Of the statements made in
the Capital charging him with with
holding part Of the salaries Of
Mr.. Speer and Miss Hayes. The Of
dcerS named were in executive session
a good share of the afternoon, with
the result already stated, that Mr..
Bird was asked to resign, which he de-
clined to do. The statute pertaining
to the Office Of labor commissioner
provides no means for removing the
incumbent and there seems to be no
way to GUST him except after 'convic-
ton on criminal charge.
To reporter for the Capital Mr.
Bird refused to make any statement
whatever with regard to the matter
and said he would be ready to talk to-
day and would issue a statement over
his own signature.
Several days ago Mr.. Bird appointed
Charles F. BigelOw of Wichita to the
position of chief clerk of the bureau.
Mr.. BigelOw has been employed as
clerk in the clothing store owned by
c. NJ. Jones at Wichita and was high
ly endorsed for the position. John
Speer was dismissed, the dismissal to
take effect July l.
During the session of the legislature
which passed the till doing away
with one clerk in this department,
Mr., Bird went before the committee
and asked that this be done and that
the 81, 900 appropriated for that en-
ploye be appropriated to the credit of
his contingent fund. This resulted
in the passage Of the bill as mention
ed together with the promise for the
contingent fund as requested.

Kentucky Democratic Convention.

The Democrats are holding a state
convention in Louisville, KY. The
bittereSt sort Of a contest is in pro-
gress. The real issues are the en-
dOrsement of Cleyeland's administra-
tion and the silver question.
The committee on resolutions
stands nine for the administration
ard gold standard and four for free
silver coinage. The majority report
Of the committee embraces a strong
''honest money" plank and endorses
Cleveland and Carlyle. There are
two minority reports. But there has
been such wrangle over contested
delegations that the report Of the
committee on credentials was not
adopted at two o'clock this morning,
at which time the uproar and c0nfu-
sion became so great that the temper
airy chairman declared the convention
adjourned.
The prospects for merry war during
and after the convention are excel

the Marquis Of Salisbury would not

the Marquis Of Salisbury would not
formally.take Office until parliament
were dissolved. He would insist that
the government, before yielding the
seals, should vote an amount neces-
sary for the expenditures for two
months to enable general election to
be held. The Conservatives would
thus be in position to attact instead
OF defend.
Throughout the day the situation
was the absorbing topic at the chief
political clubs. Several members Of
the cabinet called in Downing street
in the afternoon in the expectation of
seeing Lord Roseberry, who returned
from Windsor about 6 o'clock and
drove to Downing street, where an in
formal cabinet meeting, lasting
twenty-five minutes, Immediately fol-
lowed.
1t was understood that the Marquis
Of Salisbury only agreed to form a
cabinet on condition that parliament
was dissolved. Nothing was known
regarding the personnel Of the new
ministry, but complete harmony was
known TO exist between the Liberal
Unionists and the Conservatives.
The Irish members we're extremely
uneasy and dissatisfied. They stated
that after acting for three years as
the strongest arm Of the government
they were deeply concerned at 'the
suddeL end Of the government without
passing any Of the principal Irish
measures. Not only had home rule
not progressed, but the measure con-
corning the Christian brothers, the
county council bill and which reached
second reading, the grand jury bill
and the proposal to extend the power
OF guardians regarding laborer's cot
tages had been all lost. The only
Irish measure likely to be passed was
Mr.. Healey's municipal franchise bill,
which had gone to the house OF lords.
