ROMANCE OF The PEERAGE
Singular Claim OF Baron Fitx-Ha.dlngc to an
EarIdom

Francis William Fitz-Hardinge Ber-
kelley, second baron Hardinge, who
died. Monday, was q defeated claimant
to the earldom of Berkeley, and his
claim is one of the romances of the Brit
ish peerage. In 1896 the fifth earl of
Berkeley married in London Mary Cole,
daughter of a butcher at Wooton in
Worcestershire. He was already the
father by her of four sons, and in the
marriage license he was described as a
bachelor and she as a spinster.. The
first child after their marriage, Thomas,
was recognized as the heir to the earl
dom. Later Lord Berkeley announced
that he and the countess had been mar
ried secretly in 1885 in Berkeley church
| and that their eldest son, William, was
| the true heir to the title and estates
| When the earl died in 1910 the matter
| came before the house of lords on the
petition of the son William to be called
| to the upper house. His mother swore
to the earlier marriage and produced her
brother as a witness, and there was
some documentary evidence in support
of her assertion. Unfortunately for
her. the clergyman who, it was said, had
performed the Berkeley church cere-
mony was dead. and the house of lords
decided that the son William had not
made out his claim. He inherited, how
ever. the castle and estate of the Ber-
Earl FitZ- Hardinge. His brotherThomas,
out of respect for his mother, did not
avail himself OF the decision of the house
of lords and never assumed the title of
earl of Berkeley. On his deatht in 1882
the title passed to George Lennox Raw
don Crawley Berkeley, descendant of
the fourth earl He died in 1888, and the
title was assumed as eighth earl by his
son. Randall Thomas Mowbray Rawdon
Berkeley, who had married the year be-
fore Mrs. Kate Jackson, known to the
public as Edith Brandon, a comic opera
singer.
Earl Fitz-Hardinge died unmarried in
1856, and his brother, Sir Maurice, after
ward Baron -Hardinge, succeeded
to the Berkeley castle and estates. His
son, who died Monday, succeeded to his
fathers title in 1867 and in 1891 renewed
the claim made by his uncle to the Ber-
kelley peerage. The house of lords, how
ever, confirmed its decision of 1911 and
upreld the right to the title to the opera
singers husband.

NORTH CAROLINA is OURS.
The Republicans and POpulists to
Cut Each Others Threats.

Raleigh, NC, April 2.-The letters of
the populist state chairman. Senator Ma
rion Butler, announcing that there can
be no fusion with the republicans on an
electoral ticket. and none on state tick
ct unless the republicans concede to the
populists the nomination of governor and
one member of the legislature in each
county, causes the greatest political sem
satiOn of the year. The republican state
chairman, Mr.. Holton, informs the South
ern Associated Press correspondent that
it forces the republicans to nominate a
straight ticket, and that they will not
submit to the evident purpose of Senator
ton He asserts positively that nearly
half the populists in North Carolina will
vote the republican ticket, and that
Senator Butler has taken this step, so
he can fuse with either party four years
hence, which will agree to return him to
the Senate.

Charitable Institutions I'm the Dis
trict Secure Appropriations.


Washington, April 2.-For three and a
half hours to-day the House INDUCED in a
repetition of the religious discussion which
ragged when the District of Columbia ap-
Precipitation bill was under discussion, and
as a result the policy of the House as ex-
pressed at that time by decided refusal
70 appropriate money for the charitable
and benevolent Institutions of the district
was in effect reversed.
The melting cause of the debate was the
amendment TO the sundry civil bill, which
was adopted in the committee OF the whole
yesterday on motion by Mr.. Evans OF Ken
lucky giving Howard University in WASH
ington $32, 0OO the appropriation having
been omitted from the bill by the commit
tee reporting it. The amendment was adj
vocated by Messrs.. Bartlett Of New York;
Sayres of Texas, Cannon OF Illinois, and
Evans of Kentucky, and opposed by
Messrs. Hanier of Nebraska, McRae of
Arkansas, Johnson of California. Andrews
Of Nebraska, and Livingston of Georgia.
There was a depression from the main
question which Mr. Hepburn Of Iowa, re-
spending to the remarks of Mr.. Sayres,
charged the democrats of the south with
not only falling to provide equal edcua-
tional advantages to the negroes with the
whites, but robbed them of their civil
rights His statements were vigorously
combatted by Mr.. Sayres and others.
When the matter got into the House a
yea and nay vote was taken on the amend
ment and it was agreed to, yeas l29; nays,
iO5 This debate practically closed the
Consideration of the sundry civil appro-
priation bill and no further amendment of
note was made. 1t was passed as reported
from the committee of the whole.
Mr. Hit, rep, of Illinois, reported from
the committee on foreign affairs the reso-
luton asking the President to transmit to
congress all the correspondence in the
state department since Dec. l, 1885, relat-
ing to offers of mediation or Intervention
by the United States in the affairs of Ven
ezuela and 1t was agreed to.

SUICIDE FOLLOWS a SHORTAGE.
The Treasurer of Lancaster County,
Nebraska, Found Dead.

Lincoln, Neb., April 1.-Two boys hunt
ing duck on Salt creek, near the state
penitentiary building, three miles from
the city, early this evening found the
dead body of Maxey Cobb, treasurer Of
this (Lancaster) county. He had COM
mitted suicide, presumably by poison, as
there are no marks of violence. This is
the tragic sequel to the treasury short
age of nearly $4,000 which has developed
in the last week, and for which Cobb
was held responsible. No criminal ac-
ton had been begun against him, but he
brooded over the matter, and week ago
transferred his life insurance to protect
his bondsmen. He disappeared Monday,
but no alarm was felt, as it was thought
he was indulging in prctracted spree.
Cobb was a son of eX-Chief Judge Amos
Cobb of the supreme court He was ono
of the most popular young men in the
city, and his integrity had never been
questioned. He leaves a wife.

mitted on Western Road.
Chieago.l April 2-The Chicago Great
Western road has given notice to the
chairman of the Western Passenger As
ISOLATION that on a date to be announced
later it will accept second class tickets for
passage in first class Pullman sleepers.
This is the first time in the railroad his
tory of this country that the road has pub
lcly announced that it would accept sec
ond class tickets in sleeping cars and the
action may lead to a revolution in sleeping
car charges The road says ii is forced to
make the changes in its sleeper rules on ac-
count of the tourist sleeping car competi-
ton of other roads. Tourist sleepers are
somewhat crude affairs. So far as Sleep
ing accommodations are concerned, there
is little difference between them and the
first class sleepers.
