All the pleasing antiquity and romance
of the antique silver ware which Sir Guy
Carleton gave to an ancestor of Lavinia
l, queen of the Holland DANES of the new
Netherlands, were rudely swept away in
the city court last week by the testimony
of her brother, John A. Dempsey a mem
Der of the. state Legislature. Her maiesty's
weekday name, as she gives it, is Lavinia
H. Van Westervelt Dempsey. According
to her version she has one name in Hol-
land and one in kerry-one in the cabin
and one in the canal Her brother SAYS
that her real name is Lavinia H. DEMPSEY
The queens counsel, Edwin S. Hunt, asked
in city court that a judgment against her
for s. 500 obtained by her brother John
A. Dempsey, in two law suits, be set aside
Mr.. Dempsey made a speech to the court
in reply to the charge that he had seized
the queens antique silver heirlooms con-
ssting OF four silver teaspoons, an ancient
coffee pot, an antique teapot, a more
antique Sugar bowl and probably prehis-
toric cream pitcher. This fotsam an
tiquity was recently displayed at an ex-
hibition IL colonial relics uptown as a gift
from Sir Guy Carleton to one of Queen
Lavinias ancestors. Mr.. Dempsey said
that the queen of the Holland Danes one
day of 1886 dropped into a secondhand
store In 4th avnue that dealt in all kinds
of antiquities, new and old. 1t had an
tiquites, from ancient Egypt and antiqui-
ties just from the factory. Here the queen
bought the silver spoons, pots and bowl
Then she took them to a slversmith's shop
in 18th street, said Mr.. Dempsey, and or
dered the silversmith to polish them up
and engrave on them

Dempsey carried them away as cherished

Mr.. Thomas, that such a small power lamp
would, as a rule, run down during the
