FAIRFAX TO LIVE IL ENGLAND
The London correspondent of the Phila-
delphia Record says: | am told that
sthe American peer" Lord Fairfax, is
about to set up an establishment with
Mr.. Kimbrough, the artist, whose work
j bound to create stir before very
long. He and Lord Fairfax seem to be
treat friends, and they 60 about a great
d ,al together. What romantic story
the history of the Fairfax family makes
The first peer, or, at least, very early
one. went out to America soon after INC
'Mayhower" did, settled in the SOUTH,
and founded one of the fine old American
houses. A century later the title
nassed from the United States back to
England. so for two hundred years the
Flirfaxes of the Virginia branch have
been plain Mr.. and Mrs. until, agenera-
tien ago, the title again reverted to the
American family. The father OF the
present lord did not care to use hls
English privileges, nor did his son de-
eide to until tie coronation, when he
thought that it would be rather con
venient. | am told, however, that Lord
Fairfax has about decided to live IL
England permanently. He must go
through considerable work getting
naturalized and that sort Of thing, be-
fore he can sit in the House of Lords.
DYING IN LoNDoN.-Oliver School
craft one of the best known VirgiDiana
of his generation, is slowly dying III
London, England, as the result OF Il
runaway accident, when he was brill
liant meteor in the social life of Rich
mond many years ago. His marriage to
Miss Matte Ould, one of the wittiest
and prettiest women of her time IL
Virginia. his splendid establishment
and fine stable, are all fresh in the
memory of Richmond people. His old
trouble has come upon him again and
the doctors have given him up. There
is foreign growth at the base OF his
brain which they cannot reach. He Is
quietly awaiting death, carefully nursed
by a devoted wife, with his children
around him. His life has been full OF
mental and physical suffering, almost a
tragedy Mr.. Schoolcraft desired to
enter the ministry of the Church Of
England some years ago, but could not
be ordained because of his being a
divorced man. He has applied him
self faithfully to charitable and mission
ary work in the city of London ever
since.

PUT SHACKLES ON THE BOYS
Investigation Into Conduct Of Re-
form School at Golden..-Ser-
ious CharQes.

Denver, Jao. 1O-The administration
OF Frank j Merrick, superintendent OF
the Golden school, is being Investigated
by the State Board of Charities and Cor
rections and the officers Of that board
will tomorrow visit the school and make
personal investigation.
The alleged abuses include the whip.
ping of boys and administering from
four to five times as many lashes as is
allowed by the rules of the board OF con-
troll, and also placing shackles on some
of the boys for period OF over ten
weeks. b
The impression seems to prevail in
certain quarters that the personal inves-
tigation will be a whitewashing affair to
cover up the alleged abuses, but il this
is q result then it is claimed that the
State Humane society will make an ar.
rest OF those responsible for the injustice
and prosecute the cases vigorously.
There are two factions in Golden, one
supporting Merrick and one who believes
the stories Of abuse made against the
management. some of those who claim
to know the facts say all of the abuses
mentioned and more are practiced under
the personal knowledge and objection OF
this knowledge has been in the hands OF
she board OF control OF the school and
that the governor for three months past
has known of the conditions.
Superintendent Merrick stated that
he courted the fullest investigations as
the charges made against him were un-
true and that the investigation would re-
suit in showing who had tried to make
trouble at the institution. Tho matter
has aroused much indignation among
those who believe that the abuses exist.
1t is said that two boys, Ray and
Moore, who were released from the in
stitution some months ago gave out part
of the Information. These boys escaped
last spring from the school and came to
Denver. They were arrested and taken
