who acquired the beautiful portrait of Mr..

Sir Charles Tennat secured Ii, and, with
admirable judgment and generosity, pre-
septed il TO the nation. However this may
be, the first duke showed unusual
pawkiness in the choice Of a motto. Qua
Duke. he was. as we have seen, quite an
infant. Therefore he boldly proclaimed,
"Virtus. non SIENNA Virtue, not pedi-
gree. although as a Grosvenor he needed
not to be ashamed Of his blood. for no
doubt his remote ancestor came over with
the conqueror.
Charles ii. being merry monarch. was
not easily abashed and raised two of HIS
bastard sons TO ducal rank In l6T5. One
took the title OF Duke of Richmond (cre-
ated Aug 81, with the notices, En- In rose
ie fieuris'' q flourish in the rose) and BY
dand" (Biding) the other became Duke of
Grafton Sept. ID, with the motto, EFT
decus ct pretium recti' (Both the ornament
and reward of WORTH. which, all things
considered. takes the cake for frank, un-
blushing impudence.
The Duke of Wellington, whose creation
dated from May II, 1914 selected the singu-

ment 'Virtutis fortuna comes (Fortune

During the last half of the seventeenth
century no fewer than eight dukes were
created, and the same rate OF ennoblement
was kept up for the following fifty years.
As there are now only twenty-seven dukes
all told 1t will be that a single spell
of a hundred years accounts for sixteen OF
them leaving eleven for the whole of Eng
lish history within the ducal period. barring
those that became extinct. With this pro-

ExnIosion I'm a Wine.

CLINTON, Ind, April 23.-Three men
were badly hurt yesterday in Shirkie's No.
8 milne. which is being put in order for
work, after standing idle for several
months. Gas had accumulated in one of the
entries, which was accidentally ignited, and
a great volume of flame rolled through the
mine. James T. James, Patrick Murdoch
anu Thomas Lewis were caught by the
rush OF air which preceded the flame and
were hurled along the entry. They finally
fell unconscious and the flame passed over
them, burning them but slightly. They suf-
fered principally from striking against the
sides OF the entry as they were hurled
along. All were badly cut and bruised about
the head and body and James had an arm
broken in three places and his shoulder
crushed. His injuries are regarded as fatal;
the other two may recover.

BROOKE AT A BANQUET
WHERE ROYAL BARONS OF BEEF
WE'RE PARADED BEFORE GUESTS.
Speech by the General on the BOer
and Philippine wars-Watercure
for TreacherOus Amigos.

NEW YORK, April 23.-The st. Georges
Society of New York held its 116th dinner
tonight at DelmonicO's. Distinctly Eng
lish features were introduced in the parad-
ing of the royal barons of beef around
the room to the tune of '"The Roast Beef
OF Old England" the eating of the plum
pudding with appropriate honors, the sing
ing of Soldiers of the Queen" and toast
ing of the King. The list of toasts in
cluded 1.-The King" 1.-The President" THE
Day and All who Honor IT, 1.-The Land
We Live in '"The Army and Navy" The
Colonies" "Our Sister Societies and 'The
Ladies'"
In Offering the toast, 1.-THE King" Sir
Percy Sanderson made reference, as did
other speakers to the Boer war, and to
the will of Cecil Rhodes.
Major General Brooke responded to the
toast, 1.-The Army and Navy" He said in
part: "Our English friends know what
the war in South Africa means. 1t is
time that the American people knew what
the war in the Philippines means. 1 don't
wish to draw comparisons between the two
peoples we are fighting, the effect of the
victory will be the same-the progress of
civilization and the enlightment Of the
nations and the glory of the flag. In South
Africa Kitchener has been left to sweep
up those dreadful people who are spread
out over the country in small attachments
over large territory. In the philippines
Chaffee has something of the same diff
hcult task"
General Brooke said that war had pre-
coded all progress and advance in civiliza-
ton and the consequent enlightenment of
the people. II do not want you TO under
stand that I am bloody-minded man and
desire war" said he. LAS a great captain
said, War is hell We hear of these things
in the Philippines under strange names,
such as the water cure, and they call it
brutal. What is war if not brutal? When
we hear of these sensational stories we
forget the fact that the people from whom
IL is necessary to get information as TO
where arms are hidden have probably come
to US in the light of amigos, when but a
few hours before, in all probability, they
have been shooting at us
Concluding. General Brooke said: Let us
all hope, let us all pray that peace will soon
come in South Africa, and In the Philip
pines May God grant that under these
flags pointing to the American and Eng
lish flags entwined) may dawn a lasting
peace is the wish that every martial heart
feels"

His Grace of Norfolk. the premier duke
is a general favorite. Though his dukedom
dates from the 18th of June, 1883, he gives
himself no airs, puts on no side. When the
Sussex Archaeological Society visited
Arundel Castle, a little gentleman in a cut
away coat was seen making himself very
affable on the occasion. He even held out
his hand to a clergyman. All said the
parson in those hard tones we know so
well. as he adjusted his pince-nez, I'm
afraid l have not the pleasure-have ~
OH quOth the little gentleman, I'm the
duke" There you have him. and we feel 1T

dukes-fOr the Earl of Fife appears TO have
received his dukedOm as wedding present

married the Princess Louise OF Wales-has

that a Scotsman might select. On the other
hand, his grace is said 10 own nearly a
quarter of a million acres and may be ex-
cused, therefore, If at times he feels the

There Is a grOtesque appositeness in the
motto of the Duke Of Devonshire (created
May T. l694.) Ii is also remarkable as being
the only ducal motto that condescends 10
play upon words. His graces family name
is Cavendish, and his motto Is "Cavendo

out his public career his grace has relig-
iously lived up 10 his motto.

for his motto he must have enjoyed many
