LONDON. Jan. 12.-The memorial to be
used as an institute by the Gordon High
landers at Aberdeen, which Mrs. Forbes
Leith, formerly. Of New York, intends at
a cost of $4,000 to erect in memory of her
son, Lieutenant Percy F. Forbes-Leith, of
the First (RoyaD Dragons, who died of
fever recently at New Castle, Natal, re-
calls the fact that Fyvie castle Mrs.
Forbes-Leith's residence) is one of the
many mysterious places in Scotland said
to have a curse which i%nvaribly falls on
the eldest son of the house. For nan
generations the property has failed to
descend in a direct line and when Duff
Gordon sold Fyvie castle to Mr.. Forbes
Leith it was argued that the curse could
not be transferred to another family. But
the death of the young subaltern at the
age of twenty, has revived the supersti-
tons of all AberdeeDshire. Mrs. Forbes
Leith was formerly Miss January. of ST.
Louis.

There nave been reports that Russian
agents are e~ndeavoring to buy the British

convention on this subject is now under

the course of Minister Conger for having

that, as a matter of fact, Mr. Conger sub
