lions of money. Inc great uuh'uoNh
of Portland, with m income OF sl.'oo'-
600 a year. is the subject of dispute ana
the allegations made by the plaintiH' II
sustained. will reveal the most extra
ordinary Or. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde ex-
istence that has ever come to liSht.
The duke of Portland, whose alleged
double life is now to be investigated
was the second richest peer in Eng
land, and it Is claimed that besides
his life as an eccentric unmarried no.
bleman, he also had an existence as a
London shopkceper, with a wife ana
family.
Thomas Charles bruce was the name
of the s%hopkeeper who is declared 10
have been none other than the duke or
Portland. and 1t is his daughter-in-law,
Mrs. Anna Maria bruce. VINO has in
stigated the present action. Mrs.
bruce has made an application
to exhume the alleged body OF
her late father-in-law from a vault
in Highgate cemetery, and this appii-
cation Is a first step in her attempt to
prove that the said Thomas Charles
bruce, the well-known Baker street
furniture man, was no other than the
fifth duke of Portland.
Mrs. Druce's story, of which she has
already produced a remarkable ron
firmation, Is that the duke led a double
life, each part Of which was strangely
and almost incredibly distinct. she
says he lived in London as a shopkeep-
er named bruce, and a married man.
He lived on his vast estates as a duke
and a bachelor. lie pretended TO die
as bruce in 1864. His daughter-in-
law alleges that only a roll OF lead
will be found in his coffin. lie died as
the duke in 1879. There is no doubt
that the duke died then. The result
of proving that Charles Thomas Druce
was the fifth duke of Portland would
be to transfer the dukedom and the
estates TO the son OF Mrs.
bruce. Sidney George bruce. a poor
sailor OF %, now in Australia. The
present duke OF Portland. who would
be ousted from his position. is one of
the most conspicuous noblemen in
England. He holds the Office of mas
ter Of the horse, the greatest in the
queens household. lie has won the
Derby twice. He was a direct cousin
OF the fifth duke, whom he succeeded.
Most extraordinary points OF resem-
blance have been proved between the
late Thomas Charles Druce and the
fifth duke of Portland. Druce had a
secret entrance to his shop, the Baker
street bazaar, and a system Of sub
terranean passages under II. The late
duke undermined his estate. Welbcck

sages, having many exits. by means OF
which he could hide his movements
With vast wealth and great power and
no intimates, the late duke of Portland
was in a position to conceal his move
ments and surround himself with mys-
terry. Nobody on the estate or in the
house was permitted to speak to him
without first being spoken to. He had
issued orders that nobody was to rec
ognize his presence by a courtesy, O

On the left side of the road there was a lion, and the man asked the bad angel, What is that lon?" and the answer was, That is the lion of all devouring despair" A vulture flew through the sky, and the man asked the bad angel, "What is that vulture?" and the answer was, "That is the vulture waiting for the carcasses of the slain" And then the man began to try to pull off of him the folds of something that had wound him round and round, and he said to the bad angel, What is it that twists me in this awful conyolution?" and the an- swer was, "That is the worm that never dies, :" and then the man said to the bad angel: "What does all this mean?

PRENTIss' ORATORY
Wonderful EIOqUence Which Swayed
the Public Mind-A Remark
able Character.

Sargent S. Prentiss lived at a
time when the grandest American
orators flourished 1t has often
been said that he, next to Henry
Clay, stood as the foremost of the
orators of his time, and there are
those who give him the first place.
One of the finest examples of his
power, is given in an address that
he delivered as greeting to the
volunteers in Gen. Taylor s army in
l947. Mr.. Prentiss was at the time
practicing the profession of law at the
bar of New Orleans and as the minds
of people are now so filled with ru-
599rs of waz-with Spain, an extract
1ziltS5sin his SPEECH may perhaps prove
interesting:
Under the hot gaze in the fierce
conflict, said he, when desperate
courage was put to its utmost proof
all fame unites in saying that you
covered yourselves with immortal
honor In pitched battle with brave
and veteran troops, outnumbering
you four to one, during two days.
you made a successful contest; you
stood a living dixie, and again and
again poured upon you the fiery tor
rent. 'Twere worth ten years OF
peaceful life to have witnessed your
repnlsing the audacious squadrons
Of the enemy
Gentlemen, you have before you
a happy destiny Yours have been
no mercenary services. Prompted
by patriotism alone, you went forth
to fight the battles of your country.
You now voluntarily return to the
pursuits OF civil life. Presently you
will be engaged in your ancient oc-
equations. But You will not be
without the meet reward or patriotic
service. Your ncighbors will re
gard you with respect and affection.
Indeed is is a noble sight worthy OF
the genius of this republic, to be-
hold at the call of the country whole
armies leap forth in battle array
and, then, when their services are
no longer needed, fall quietly back
and commingle again with the com
munities whence they came Thus
the dark thunder cloud at nature $
summons marShalS it black battal
ions and lowers in the horizon, but
at length, its lightnings spent, it's
dread artillery silenced, it's mission
finished, disEahding it's frowning
ranks, it melts away in the blue
ether and the next morning you will
find it glittering in the dewdrops
among the flowers, or assisting with
its kindly moisture the growth of
the young and tender plants. Great
and happy country, where every
citizen can be at once turned into
an effective soldier, every soldier
converted forthwith into a peace
full citizen =.

CovINGToN, Tenn, June 3, 1898.
WHEREAS, it has pleased the good
Lord to move from our midst and
claim for His own one of our much
beloved and honored members in
the person of Prof. w T. Dunn, we
take this medium through which to
express our sincere regret for the
loss of one whose influence, exper-
fence and generosity have been so
long felt among US. Prof. Dunn
was born near Atlanta, Ga, in the
year 1868. His father died when he
was but small boy, leaving him to
care for his mother and make his
way in school. This he did with
untiring efforts. He went to the
district school near his home in No.
4 of Upton county, and in 1881 he
entered the Normal Department of
Roger Williams and graduated there
in 1888. Not being contented here
and desiring to make a deepen re
lsearcn iElTu % UrUduen his knowl-
edge in the educational field, &c en-
tered the Scientific Department of
Roger Williams University, grad
uatiEg in that department in 1894.
During these years of college life
he was a faithful teacher in Upton
county. After the hardships nee
.essarily incumbent to school life he
married Miss Elviry G. Campbell,
of Batesville, Miss. They moved to
COvington, where he was employed
as teacher in the city school, at
which post of duty he received his
last summons, which was from labor
to reward. He fell in the thickest
of the fight, and while it is our loss,
we feel that it is Heaven s gain. Our
hearts melt in sympathy for the sor-
row-strickened family, but we real
ize that The Lord giveth and the
Lord taketh away; blessed be the
name of the Lord, and to this we
say Sleep on, beloved, sleep and
take thy rest; we love thee still, but
Jesus loves thee best.
