EURAslAI LORD GARDNER
Though the Peerage Is Becoming Much
Mixed, His Advent Makes 4 Sen;atian.
His Mother a Low Caste Hindoo and
His Wife Another. But There
Are Yet Others.

England speerage Is sbecomingexceedingly
mixed, and within the next generation OF
two will no longer be able to rank on n
footing OF equality with that OF Austria
and Germany. For, whereas the aristocfa-
cies of these two countries are composed
almost exclusively of princes, counts and
barons, whose ancestry on both sides is
free from any mesalliance for eight, twelve
and sixteen generations back-that cOnsti-
tuting the sine qua non for admission to
court-that of England is not only being re-
cruited all the time from the commercial
and trading classes, such as, for instance,
the late Earl Cairns and Lord Brassey, but
is also still further democratizing itself
by marriages outside of its own circle.
There are several peeresses OF the realm
and others who are married to heirs OF
peerages who are the daughters OF retail
shop keepers, a notable instance in point
being Violet Lady Beaumont, the child OF
Mime. Elize, the Regent street Inodiste In
London, while the late Marquis of Exeter.
the late Lord Grantley and the present
Earl of Mountcashel all married peasant
girls. But now there comes the news OF the
imminent arrival in London of Lord Gard
ner for the purpose of taking his seat in the
House of Lords.

Dunraven came, to America and tried to
sail his little boat before he made filsco.
Mr. Rose has made a fiasco almost as sad
previous to the sailing of his little boat.
Although they are our cousins, these Eng
lish are queer lot. even when they are
Scotch or Welsh. They have been sus-
pected of being thick-skinned, if not thick
headed, yet Lord Dunraven could not endure
defeat. suIked like spanked child, and
Mr.. Rose is so sensitive to remarks made In
regard to his challenge for a new Americas
Cup contest, suggestive that his action was
proof of the disgust of Britishers at the
pcevislincss of Dunraven, that he has with
drawn his offer to make a contest.

And in order To appreciate TO its fullest
extent British sentiment upon the sub
ject il is only necessary to read the brutally
outspokcn editorial comment of the London
Times and other English newspapers at
the time of the extraordinary marriage
of the Eiscount st. Vinccnt's beautiful
daughter, Mary. To the Eura sian millionaire
who went by the name OF Dyce Sombre
the son of that Scotch doctor whose
adventures are described by Sir Walter
Scott in '.Middle-mass," and OF Hindoo
Begun.
Had Lord ST. Vincent given his daughter
in marriage to an orang -outang, or to n
gorilla, he could not have come in for
more universal condemnation. The i'll
matched couple soon pa rteti a nd Dyce Som
bre, ostracized by all and treated as a
pariah not on account of his conduct. but
by reason of his birth, a ba audoncd England
for the continent, where he met with
death the circumstances OF which have
always remained shrouded amid a GER
tain amour nj OF mystery.
His widow subsequently married Lord
Forester. and when she died the other
day left all the Dyce Sombre money which
he had settled upon her at the time of
her marriage to her first husband TO the
present Lord Forester, her second hus-
band.

Apropos of Sir Walter Scott, it may be
mentioned that owing to the alarming
illness of Lord Herries, his youn bro
ther, who is the present owner of Abbots-
ford will in all proba bility succeed 10
that title. the Herrics peerage. at an early
date. The future Lord Herries, or. as he is
known now, Mr.. Maxwell Scott. is mar
ried to the great tgranddaughter and sole
hciress of Sir Walter Scott. and the Queen
has promised that when her eldest SON.
who bears the name of Walter attains
his majority next year, she will confer
upon him the honor of knighthood so that
there shall be once more on the rolls of
Engiand's titled personages a Sir Walter
Scott.
1t will be an unparalleled honor in
modern times for SO young man. But
up to the beginning of the present GEN.
tury the eldest son of every baronet had
the privilege OF claiming from the crown
the dignity of knighthood on attaining
his twenty-first year.-ChicaSo Record.

In order o understand the sensation which
this news has created In the aristocratic
circles of Great Britain, it is necessary to ex
plain that Lord Gardner belongs to that
most dcspised and lespicable OF all the
races subject to Queen Vic,oTia's rule
namely, the EurasIans. The Eurasians
are the children of marriages between the
Europeans and the Hindoos, only the lower
classes of which latter-that is to say. ma
tivcs devoid of caste-will consent to mate
with whitepeople. Theyare knownt through
out Asia as the most difficult people with
whom the authorities are called upon to
deal, are treated with the utmost contempt
alike by the whites and by the natives, and
unite in their miserable and stuntcd bodies
the worst physical and moral defects OF
both races.

The dawning of another era of prosperity
While the Glee Club was rehearslng this
gem yesterday afternoon a letter was
brought in from Mr. Gruber which stated
Iat he was afraid the meter of stanza first
was a bit crampe!. The letter added that
the author would be happy to change this
and also polish up the whole poem with some
brand-new campaign terms. But it was too
late. alas! Grubers poem was already in
the hands of the printer.
The second and last new campaign song
of the Republicans is amply illustrated in
the single stanza which follows. No one
was anxious to stand for it yesterday y. and it
was positively denied that Col. ABE
Grubcr was responsible for it:
OH, REPUBLICANS RALLY
There's a great deal of fun going on in this
town,
Election is near, and on all sides we hear
Something is going to drop-stand from

Seven parties there are, and they're knitting
themselves,
And the outlook it makes me feel happy,
Through the list you can hunt, but you'u III NOT

To the opposition Wen no mercy show.
They'll be glad to come in out of the snow
When they see the great big Republicanrally.
