BOGUS BURIALS
 10 HIDE CRIME

Another of those strange rUmdnces of d melodramatic character in which a bogus burial plays a role is about to be disclosed in the English law courts Last year one of the oldest. best known and most highly respected firms of family lawyers. Lake by name. failed involving in ruin many titled families which had for generations intrusted the management of their estates to the Lakss. One of those most hard hit by the collapse of the firm was the pres Cnt Duke of MC1trOse, who lost in the neighborhood of $1,OOO.OO0 MT. Benja- min Lake, one of the two members of the firm, who alone remained in London to face the music, when he appeared in the court of bankruptcy explained to the pre siding judge that the insolvency of his firm Was no fault of his own, but entirely due to the dishonesty and de- faiCation of his partner, MT. George Edward Lake. whom he sWore had fled the courtry. and had died in Germany in November last, He likewise pro- duced certificates to show that hr. George Edward Lake had been duly buried at BUsh=y. in England on De- Cember ,.
 It has just been discovered. how ever, that MT. George Edward Lake is alive and well. living in Italy, in the utmost luxury. on the proceeds of his thefts. Testimony to this effect has been placed in the hands of the police and steps have been taken to obtain his eNtTadition. MI. Benjamin Lake is meanwhile. kept under the most strict police surveillance, pending an inquiry into the question as to whether he Was q voluntary or an involuntary agent in this conspiracy to defeat the ends of justice.
 This is by no means the first instance of bogus burial having been resorted to for the purpose of saving influential persons from the consequences of their crime. The fact has repeatedly been printed in the German papers. on the most indisputable authority. that Count Guido Lynar. a member of the princely house of that name, is living in Italy without the slightest attempt to con Ceal his identity. The count. ] major of the crack regiment of the Cards du- Corps. decorated with almost every or der of Europe, possessed of an inde- pendent fortune of $sO.000 a year, was arrested by the English police in Lon don on d particularly revoltng charge while occupying the post of first secre- tar of the German embassy. Had he given his name and quality to the DO lice when arrested. he would have at once been at liberty and steps taken to hush the matter up. But he lost his head, and refrained from disclosing his identity until he had undergone the public ignominy Gf being placed in the n l Igp cri by the German government that Lynar should be severely punished. he was turned over to the embassy, and by the

Here again the present duke, who is a remote cousin of his predecessor declined to consent to the examination of the re- mains of Lord Charles, and the issue remains therefore undecided.

Nor should l omit the case of the late Earl of Aylesford. the tco genial Joey" who, having been forced to eXpatriate himself from England, ruined beyond hope, socially ss well as financially, was reported to have died in Texas. A coffin with a body therein represented to be that of the earl was brought to England and inferred with much ceremony. But doubts were en- tertaiDed at the time and still exist. as to whether he was really dead. a curi- ous feature in connection with the af- fair being that the insurance on his life was never collected.

NOT PARTICULAR.
TLt Private Too Hungry to Choose Ills
 Company.

\ crowd of old confederates were tell inE war stories last nigh. when one of them told the following:
 "One of the mos, striking figures in the army of the west was Gen. John Magruder C. s. A. He was what might Ee called a 'Murat of a man, for in tnr hardest times Prince John could al- ways show natty- uniform, and he al- ways wen. into battle, the old soldier said, with enough fuss and feathers to have marched down a dozen men. It was evidently his determination tO di. not only with his boots on. but with all his good clothes as well. Added to his lov5 of dr-ss was his fondness for good eating. tha. Id him to every promising En-.:a mar the camp ground.
 tn one occasion, with his staff. he TO- up to a handsome old home in Tennessee, and with his most courtly bow and gallant manner hinted that food would not be ptable to fam ished soldiers. The woman of the nan sion bade them enter and hastily sent servants running hither and thither to provide meal for such handsome and gallant soldiers.
 About the time the dime was weighing down the table, and just be- fore the officers had been invited to en- ter the dining room. q poor private. who in peace would have been styled d z ntleman, sn aked up to the back door and begged a bite to eat.
 The hospitable hostess, absolutely ignorant of military etiQuette, told him to come in immediately, that dinner was jCst on the table,
 'The officers, Gen. MagrudeT and the rest, are just getting ready to eai,' she said: you are in nice time
 Had he not been so hungry the lri- vate might have run on the'spot. Put hunger conquers all fears and he quick ly followed his hostess into the dinn room, determined to snatch few bites and run before he could be sent to the 8%ard house.
 'The officers had not entered. The private slipped into a seat and began d savage attack on the food before him. Chicken. ham and everything in sight Were seized by the hungry soldier. When Prince John and his staff came in he expected nothing less than deati:.
 "The door opened and with the hos tess on his arm Gen. Magruder entered the dining room. His staff was close  L-hInd
 "In q moment the general saw the private.
 What are you doing there?" thun- dered the officer.
 ''The private sent half corn pone 10 join the chicken he had just swallowed and reached for piece of ham. H. was tOv busy to talk.
 "Gtn. Magruder strode up in his splendid uniform and touched the i;rty gray coated figure sitting mposedly at the table.

latter to three officials of the Berlin
 police who took him back with them
 to Germany. On arriving there he was
 at once placed in an insane asylum. on
 the plea that he was denented, and his
 name was removed from the roster of
 the diplomatic service. as well as from
 that of the army. Three months later
 it was announced in all the papers that
 he had died while under restraint. and
 h.s name, after ing cited iu the necro~
 logical appendix of the Almanach do
 Gotha. disappeared from that golden book of the European nobility. A
 coffin purporting to contain his re-
 mains was placed in the family vault, and his widowed mother after mourn
 ing for her son. died about six months
 later. it was said, nf broken heart
 4 similar story is related of an uncle of Lord and Lady Hope Cthe latter May
 YChe), who sailed from New York foy England the other day. The uncle in question was Lord Arthur Pelham Clin- ton, member Of parliament and acom- mander Of the royal navy. He, too. got mixed Un in a scrape of the same kind as Count Lynar and was about to be convicted, when the announcement of his death was made. and he was in tered with much pJmp and ceremony in the vaults of the tucal house. of Newcastle. Yet few months later he was recognized in New York. where he spent the remainder of his life under the name of MT. Simpson" and used tO haunt the restaurants and saloons cIound Union and Madison $ Iuares He also remained q long time in one of the metropolitan hospitals. owing to an accident which occurred to him on his Way out 70 this country.
 The celebrated Druce claim to the dUkedOm of Portland rests altogether on the contention that the late Duke C. Portland survived his alleged death for q number of years under the name of Druce; that he married and had ciil- GT,n under the name of Druce. and that the object of his bogus funeral as Duke of Portland Was his dread of be ing called to account for the mysterious death of his celebrated brother, Lord George Cayeudish Bentinck. of racing fame. The entire controversy about the matter, which gave no little an nUyaHCe and expense to the present duke, d distant cousin of his predeces- sOr. could have been settled at once had the collins containing the remains of the late Duke of Portland and like wise of the late MT. Druca been Jp-ned and examined. But the presen, duke devoted all his influence au1 great sums of money to prevent this being done. and consequently the doubt as to he or the son of the widowed Ms. DrUce is the lawful her of the lat Duke ol Portland remains in abey- ance and unsettled.
 Some time ago there likewise ap- pea.ed a claimant t,- the Dukedom of Hamilton in the person of a man who insisted thai he was the only brother Charles by name, of the late duke, and that he had been obliged to vanish from tho $. ne owing to his having killed in duel the Russian Paskie~itch. with whose wife he had
