ANOTHER AMERICAN DUCHESS.
Possibilities Of Succession to the DucaJ
Title of Newcastle.

Possibilities of Succession to the DucaD
Title of Newcastle.
Although the echoes of the sensa-
tional episode Of ex-Lieutenant Put
nam Bradlee Strong and Lady Francis
Hope, better known as May Yohe, have
died away since the couple left San
Francisco for Japan, there is much
curiosity felt at Newport as to what
action, il any, Lord Francis Hope will
take against his wife, and whether the
Duke of Newcastle, who is unalterably
opposed to divorce, will permit his
brother to sue for divorce. AS the
duke holds the pursestrings, and Lord
Francis has not penny of his own,
the former will naturally have every
thing to say on the subject. Added to
this curiosity is a deal of speculation
as to the chances of May Yohes esca-
pade giving English society another
American duchess. The chances of the
Hon. Mrs. Charles Stapleton Pelham
Clinton, who was Miss Lizzie di Zerega
OF New York, becoming the duchess of
Newcastle would seem to be rather re-
mote, but experience has proved that
heirs to English titles much further re-
moved than is Mrs. Pelham Clinton
have reached them. Briefly summar-
lied, Mrs. Pelham Clintons chances OF
becoming the duchess of Newcastle de-
pend upon Lord Francis Hopes di-
vorcing his present wife, not marrying
again, or if he marries again, not hav-
ing any children by his second mar
riage. The present duke has no heir,
and is not likely to have any. Lord
Francis Hope is similarly situated as
regards his present wife. The duke
dom, heirs failing to the present duke
and Lord Francis, will pass, if he sur
wives the duke and Lord Francis, to
the Hon. Charles Stapleton Pelham
Clinton. their first cousin. Mr.. and
Mrs. Pelham-Clinton have no children,
have been married fifteen years, and
are not likely to have any; so that, if
they by chance should become the
Duke and Duchess of Newcastle, the
dukedom would pass in time to Mr..
Charles Pelham Clinton's youngest
brother, who is unmarried. 1t would
be coincidence of the next Duchess of
Newcastle would be an American, a
compatriot of the Duchesses of Man
chester and Marlborough. The Hon.
Charles Pelham-Clinton is we'll known
in New York, where he lived for nearly
ten years, and where he married. He
is an exceedingly TALL slightly built,
swarthy and handsome man, and is
now about ~ years old During his
life in New York he was actively en-
gagged in newspaper work, and was one
of the best-of the New York racing re-
pOrters.-NeW York Times.

A Narrow Escape.

Bath, N. Y, Sept 16th.-There is now
at the Soldiers and Sailors Home here
an old soldier who has been nearer
death than anyone who has lived to tell
the story.
His name is A. E. Ayers. For many
years he lived in Minneapolis, Mimi,
where he is well known.
Four physicians of that city once told
Mr.. Ayers that he could rot live four
days. He had Brights' disease.
AS last resort he tried Dodd's Kid
ney Pills. He is strong srd well to-
day.
