A young American. Mr Albert Kirby Fairfax. employed as q clerk in New York banking firm hy his counsel, MT. Clarence Cary, hcs made application to have his claim b the title of Lord Fair fax maee good. It is exceeded in England that the rightful owners and claimants to the title is held by the American branch of the family. In 1SOo Lord Fair fax, the eighth in succession, went to England and had his rights acknowledged by the House of Lords.
 MT. Fairfax has succeeded to the title, and now as a matter of form presents his claim without any intention of re- nouncing his American citizenship, which would be necessary if he desired to take his seat in the House of Lords
 The title has been held by the Fairfax family by virtue of direct descent since the time his ancestor Lord Fairfax. came to Virginia.
 Mrs. Burton Harrison, the brilliant writer of fiction and contributor to maga- zines, is of the same family, and her pride of birth Is not the least of the ties which bind her to this mundane exist
 
 and sister of Lawyer Cary, who is now presenting the claim of Lord Fairfax to King Edward. Clarence Cary married Howard Potters beautiful daughter, Ehz- abeth, some years ago, and consequent ly MT. Fairfax's claim is of considerable social interest. Some day young Fairfax may wed an oil kings daughter, and the peerage in reserve might prove valuable and attractive asset. The claim will be allowed.
 The George Vanderbilts have left Bal timore and are now at Bar Harbor, Mount Desert. I will always associate George with Mount Desert. When an unmarried youngster many a Bar Harbor maid knowing full well what prospect await ed her should George fall victim to her charms, cast her eyes about to see him After awhile she abandoned the quest because George was invisible to maiden eyes, hardened to maiden's blandishments The young millionaire was one of the least seen persons at his goody haven of love and rest. He seldom escaped his watch ful mothers eye. He was called "The h. visible Prince Charming"
 The sensation of the present off season at Newport Is furnished by Commodore Gerrys daughters, Miss Angelica and Miss Mabel They have been noted for several years as The Silent Sisters II Rich, proud, quiet seldom having any thing to say about anybody or anything they startled the local families by exhib- iting an accomplishment none knew them to possess. At musicale at Mrs. Stuy. Flsh's they delighted the audience with their highly trained, rich voices. Voices of unusual timbre, f1exibility and sweet ness. 1 wonder why 1t is that these charmingly brought up young ladies have not married? Miss Angelica must be close on to thirty and Miss Mabel twenty-seven l don't believe these young ladies ever had lover, and mat is deplorable They have fortunes, family, and as fine a ia ther as ever reared a family. Himself a man of rare cultivation, energy, ability and ambition, am surprised he has not mated his daughters to young men he could easily force from the rear of for tune to it's front ranks. I do not believe woman should escape motherhood, or IS human creature gone to waste
 MT, and Mrs. Harry Payne whitney, on their return from Europe, went to the Vanderbilt farm at Oakland South Ports mouth, which is about eight miles from Newport. This is the first time this s,- perb country home, situated in beautiful
