FOREIGN NOTES
 AND COMMENT

the death of Lord Lismore the other
 day. Both sons of the viscount died some years ago, and accordingly he has
 bequeathed his property to Lord Ar
 thur Butler, who is q sor. Of cousin of his, the viscCunt's mother having been a member of that house of Butler to which Lord Arthur belongs, and which has as it's chief the marquis of Ormond, Lord Arthurs eldest brother
 Lord Arthur. who owing to his brothers being wi,hout male issue, will, in due course, succeed 10 the mar Gues&te of Butler Of Ireland, as well as to the equally hereditary dignity of vice admiral Of I1einster, inherits, by the death of Lord Lismore. an old fash toned town mansion in Burlington street, London. and a fine old an2etrai ccuntFy seat in Tipperary. known as Shanbally castle.
 ShaDbally castle is familiar to every Irisnman Of the name of O.Callaghan. Lord Lismore having been the chief of the great family of O'Callaghans, who, in ancient times, held the rank Of princes of that part of Ireland known as Munster.
 The well known comedy actress, Ro- sini O'Callaghan, who is almost 2s pop ular in this country as on wonder side Of the Atlantic, is 9 daughter-in-law of the late Lord Lisinore. and had not her husband died prematurely some ten years ago she might have become wis countess I.ismoFe.
 She is the daughter of a clergyman and had the advantage Of a good edu- cation and of excellent social surround ings. At an early age she married the eldest son Of Sir Webb Pellet Within a brief period however. she became q widow. Her second marriage 5ooiz place at Umballa. and was quite an event in the Anglo-Indian community, as the cid viscount had already, at that time, exceeded the three score years and ten allotted by the PsalIlist as the span of the life of man. whereas his son, the Hon. George O'Callaghan, was not 30 and therefore regarded as destined 10 become a member Of the house Of lords in a very short time.
 After eleven years Of married life, however, the honorable George died, if remember rightly, by breaking his nsck ia playing polo. He left his widow quite unprovided for and at daggers drawn with his father, the wis count who absolutely refused to do anything whatsoever fer her. IL was then that she took to the stage.
 Lord Iismore was hardly known by society of the present day. He had a small set of intimate friends with whom he lived, and outside Of that cir cle he raver went. Let me add that the estates inherited by Lord Arthur Butler and by his American wife ex cesd 5G000 acres.
 Lord Henry Somerset, who has just come before the public as the composer of two new songs, the ore entitled, "A Song Of HCpe,' and the other entitled, Sympathy" is the husband OE that Lady Henry Somerset, who is go well known in this country in connection with the temperance movement and as the friend Of the late Miss Frances Will lard, while her son, the heir presump- tive to his grandfather's dukedom Of Beaufort, is Q graduate of Harvard
 I do not consider it probable that there will be much response CT the part Of the public to this appeal fer sympathy contained in the song of Lord Henry, for it is impossible to eff face from Cne's mind the memory of the cGious circumstances connected with the legal separation obtained by Lady Henry from her husband, the ease being of such Q natu. Q that it had to be tried "in camera" lest it's fea ures should defle the ears and the morals cf the British public.
 
 King Humbert has jI:s5 conferred the tltle or duke of Apulia upon the infant sen of the duke and duchess Of Aosta, who was born the ether day. 1 hear nat the widowed countess of Paris, neither of the duchess, and the widow cd queen Of Portugal are to ba the god mc thers of the little boy, who is to bear the name of Amadiu5, and who will have as godfather Kicg Humbcct.
 According to q decision just rem dered by the Berlin tribuna.s, ;hare is 10 legal obligation in Germany for TO- blcmen who have succeeded in Iegild- ing their escutcheon by means of mar riagc wi>h heiresses to fulfill any pe- curiary obligation toward the brokers Or intern etiiaries through whom they have become acquainted with the hair- ess. The German couIss hold tha- debts thus contracted cannot be recog- | nized by the law of she land, and that they are just as immoral liabilities as gambling debts.
