tends to make it his permanent home.
Lord Douglas arrived from San Fran
cisco with his wife at Port Los Angeles
three weeks ago last Tuesday on the
steamer Santa Rosa. and came directly to
this city. He engaged apartments of
Mrs. Burril, an Englishwomsn who re-
sides in the Shaffer house at 525 Sand

A reporter for The Herald called at the

Burril if Lord Douglas was in. He was,
and received the reporter in the parlor.

When asked concerning his plans he

idleness has grown monotonous. We
have been accorded far different treat

out being insulted. Here the people are
very polite 10 us and our sojourn thus
far has been pleasant one. We are not
acquainted with anyone here and have
not been out in public. save for short
walks in the evening. One does not like
to be before the public in the light we
have. and there is really no occasion for
so much notoriety. Our marriage ha 8

Lord Douglas is a slender, cookbook
ing man OF about "a years. He has blue
eyes and blonde hair and is delightful
conversationalist. He wore light gray
suit and his appearance would not lead
any one to believe that he was OF decided
| the fact that his father originated the
famous set OF rules which govern the
| prize fights of the day.
Early every morning he may be seen
laden with packages. He is very unos
tentatious and no one would think to
look at him that be was so famous per-
sonage or was capable OF creating such a
sensation as he has. His wife rarely ap-
pears on the streets, and when she doe $
dresses in good taste. She has abandoned
the stage, forever. This Lord Douglas
| most emphatically declares and the much
talked of couple will no doubt become
quiet residents of this city.
