LADY LOUISA TIGHE.
Last Survivor of the Famous Ban on
the Eve of waterloo.
From the New York Times.


From the New York Times.
BY the death on Friday of Lady Louisa
Tighe. one of the most venerable and III
teresting personages of the United King
dom has been removed. Mention has al
ready been made in the New York Times
of the fact that she was the only sur
vivor of the famous ball given by the
Duchess Of Richmond at Brussels on the
eve of the battle of Waterloo. But other
circumstances which made Lady Louisa
remarkable are not so well known She
was the only woman in Great Britain,
outside of the Queen, who had the power
TO nardon criminals, even at the gallows'
foot This right she exercised twice a
year by virtue Of an ancient hereditary
dispensation, and, according TO all reports,
exercised it with the greatest care and
wisdom.
In the vast and splendid estate of Wood
stock near Kilkenny, Ireland, Lady LOU
lisa ruled, after her husband death, In lSfS'
with almost the arbitrary power OF mon
arch Disputes between tenants were al
WAYS referred TO her for arbitration, ana
her decisions had to be respected. EVERY
morning except on Sundays those VINO
had complaints to make gathered In
COURTYARD outside the study window ana
stated their cases in the same way as the
subjects OF an Oriental King or Khan APP
neai tn him Lady Lousia heard what
thew said and then gave her decisions
which were never called into question.
In one case Lady Louisa banished
criminal from Ireland. Il was her stew
ard who was suspected of stealing the
famous Richmond black diamond and the
great Duke of Rchmonds watch ana
other heirlooms. The man confessed his
crime. and the only punishment was the
order that he should leave the country.
All the members of Lady Louisa Len
nox's family regarded her marriage to
col. william F. 7. Tighe as mesalli-
ance II took place In 1925, and the Ouch
ess of Richmond said about her daugn-
ter's engagement Poor Louisa Is going
TO make a shocking marriage-a man call
"a riqsv. nv dear-a saint and a Radl-
cal" In spite Of this opposition, now
over the marriage was happy one. Col.
,rIpho became a well known politician ana
a privy councillor, while his splendid
Woodstock estate must have compensat-
cd to some extent in the minds of his
u1fe's family for the fact that he was
only a commoner.
I'm to the last Lady Louisa retained full
nossession Of all her faculties, and was
mine OF informal on-made use of by many
a historian-about the history Of the early
decades Of this century. She distinctly
remembered George III-who was madly
in love with her aunt-and knew George
w and william " well. When she was
a little girl and her father was Lord Lieu
tenant Of Ireland she and her sisters used

DOG BITES DEMOCRATS ONLY.
Owners Excuse for His Vicious ca
mines Attack On n Visitor.

From the Chicago Times-Herald.
Indianapolis, March 3--George Boxley,
residing at 457 Cedar street, was arrested
this week for keeping a vicious dog. He
is Of humble mein and according to re-
ports of his neighbors is very religious.
When Judge Daily asked him IL he want
ed jury he replied that he would trust
his case with the Lord and your honor"
and the Judge proceeded to try it.
Mr.. Boxley gave a history OF his dog on
the stand, and contended that the brute
was not vicious, though he had bitten as
many as five people during the four years
that the defendant had owned him. He
mentioned number Of persons who came
to his house more or less frequently and
declared that the dog has never shown
any disposition to attack them. He also
told of strangers visiting him and these
he said had not been disturbed. Mrs Box
ley was then called to the stand. She
corroborated her husband In ell essential
points and continued
Law, me. Judge, that dos amt got
nothing vicious about him. He's as skee-
ry as he can be, even at night, and he'll
run II you shake a stick at him"
Then how do you account for him Bit
ing the complaining witness?" asked the
court.
@Why, Judge, he's a Democrat. The
dog never did ike a Democrat He won't
touch a Republican, but be seems to go
mad every time Democrat comes into
the yard"
Did you know the man was Demo-
crat?"
mo. sir, not exactly" answered Mrs.
Boxley, "but knew he was when the dog
landed on him, for ne don't bite Republic
cans. 'Tain't no use 10 try TO fool that
dog He knows Democrat every time"
"Was the witness ever at your house
before2"
mot that l know Of Judge. Democrats
don't come round there the second time"
Mr. Boxley was fined 81 and costs, and
was told by the court to keep his dog
muzzled when Democrats are around.

MIR. GUILMARrIN AND DRAINAGE
His Reply to Commissioners DaIe's
Statement.

Editor Morning News: Commissioner
Dale, 1 see, says that as the grand jury
and aldermanic committee report the
drainage on DeRenne lands all right, he
stands by them. He also says that at
regular intervals l kick about drainage,
with no variations-always the same for
the last seven years. He is wrong. When
the county had more than one commits
sioner (when Mr.. J. A. G. Carson was
chairman of drainage this drainage had
attention. Since then no intelligent drain
age has been done, and very little Of
any kind. Mr.. Dale may say l am no
expert, which would be correct; but
can tell when water will not flow. l can
tell a pond when I see one. / can also
tell that water will not run out of @
pond without an outlet. These conditions
exist on the DeRenne lands. The water
overfows a hundred acres along the
drains No one could inspect these lands
and say with truth that the County Com
missioners should be complimented on
their work. ! insist that neither grand
jury nor alderman have inspected these
lands. Let one of them come out and
say that he has. Last summer DR. Brun-
ner wanted me to show him over che
drains but I would not risk IL on &C.

THEY ENJOYED AN OLD TUNE.
Music to which Lord CornwaIIis'
Army Surrendered at Yorktown.
From the Boston Transcript.

From the Boston Transcript.
At the banquet OF the Massachusetts
Society of the Cincinnati on Washington's
birthday piece of music which attracted
general attention was an old revival, The
World Turned Upside Down" the music
to which Lord CORVALLIS army marched
out to surrender at Yorktown. The his
tory of this Is interesting in connection
with the celebrated historical event.
The following Is a selection from the
diary of DR.. Thatcher, a surgeon in
Washlngton's army, In which he Jotted
down events from day to day: Oct. 49,
1871. This is to us a most Glorious Day,
but to the English one of bitter chagrin
and disappointment. Preparations are
now making to receive as captives that
vindictlve and naughty commander and
that victorious army who by their robber-
les and murders have 50 long been a
scorge TO our brethren of the Southern
States. Being on horseback, l anticipate
a full share of satisfaction in viewing the
various movements Of the interesting
scene. The stipulated terms Of capitula-
ton are similar to those granted Gen.
Lincoln at Charleston last year."
DR.. Thatcher says: 1T was about Q
O'Clock when the captive army advanced
through the lines formed for their recep-
ton. Every eye was prepared to gaze on
Lord CORVALLIS, the object Of peculiar in
terest and solicitude, but he disappointed
our anxious expectations pretending in
disposition, and made Gen. O'Hara hts sub
stitute as leader of his army. This officer
was followed by the conquered troops In
slow and solemn step with shoudered
arms, colors cased, and drums beating
British march,"
The tune selected by the English was
that with which they considered the most
appropriate title: The World Turned
Upside Down." The song has for the
first line the words: Since now the
worlds turned upside down" etc. II was
written in 1906, probably by Tom D'Ufcey,
for 1t was in his opera The Kingdom Of
the Birds" that It first appeared. This
opera was dedicated TO the celebrated
Kit Cat Club of London. The song was
revived in 1850.
Referring to the surrender OF the British
army the Yorktown Centennial of Octo-
Der, 1884, says: "By the articles Of capitu-
lation, the British were compelled to
march forth with coors cased and drums
beating a British or a German tune.
This is a harsh article, said Ross to
Laurens, at the meeting of the commits
sioners.
(which articles? answered the latter.
