DUKE OF RICHMOND ties. He was born
in 1918 and succeeded his father in
1860. He held the government offices
of President of the Board of Trade,
London, Lord President of the Coun-
Gil and the secretaryship of Scotland.
He also served in the army, entering
it in 1889, and being aide-de-camp to
the Duke of Wellington from 1912 to
1852. These summarize the chief
events of his public life.
One further fact may be referred to
as throwing a light upon the family
name and "hOnor" of the house of
which he was the head. In 1892 he
accepted a cash payment of $2,5OO,OOO
from the government in lieu of
Charles II. had settled upon the fam
lily. And thereby hangs a tale.
Charles H., as is known to every
reader of history, was a weak, vain
glorious and profligate ruler. He had
favorites by the score around his
throne and being almost absolute in
power he rewarded them out of the
public purse without anybody's per-
mission. One of these favOrites was
Louise de Kerouaille, French beauty,
but constituencies Charles fell a
slave to her charms and made her the
Duchess Of Portsmouth. She practic-
ally ruled England through him. She
drew an income of 100000 from
Charles and carried on a lucrative
trade in pardons. Most any one could
obtain the Kings pardon for a crime,
If enough money was paid to the bra
zen Duchess and that vast sums OF
money were paid to her favor is evil
denced by the fact that her income
in the year 1851 amounted to $65000C
"a large amount for that time
In 1872 the Duke of Richmond, who
had married Frances Stewart, a for
mer favOrite of Charles, died and the
Duchess of Portsmouth asked the
King to transfer the title to her sol
Charles, then an infant. Charles oh
ligingly did so and further granted ;
pension of 100000 a year to the hold
err Of the title, making it hereditar.
: in the family. Thus the house of Rich
t mond up to 1892 cost the British tax
payers upward of $4,000, OO0-surel,
a heavy penalty to have to pay for
, woman's wiles and a foolish mon
arch's whim.

False Faces.

THANKSGIVING time is the busiest sea-
son for the manufacturers Of and dealers
in masks and false faces. The fantas-
teal costume parades and the old GUS
tom of masking and dressing for amuse-
ment on Thanksgiving day keep up from
year to year in many parts of the coun-
try. so that the quantity Of false faces
sold at this season is enormous. The
manufacturers make it a point to get up
new styles. and this year brownies, ''yal-
Ter kids" parrot visages and many other
novelties will be on sale. Masks of prm-
inent men and the foremost political lead
ers are made by some manufacturers,
and large sized false hands, noses, ears,
etc. are also new and amusng.-Se-
lected.

E. A. Bjelde, a prominent Mayville
business man is telling the story of a
strange experience he had on hunt
ing trip to the lakes near Churchs
Ferry. One morning as he was lying
behind b big boulder on the shore,
waiting for geese and ducks, he was
startled to see coming at him through
the air round, red something about
the size of his two fists, with tail
of fire behind it When he first saw
it he ju iged that it was 200 feet ABOVE
him.
I looked as though it was going to
strike him and he scrambled out Of
the way 1t came down IN the lake
about two rods from him. splashing up
the water and disappearing with a
great hiss, leaving a fine vapor over
the place It was q small meteor,
ard only the presence of quicksan 1
prevented him from trying to get It.

HOUSE RESUMES CONSIDERATION
OF THE CUBAN REclPRoc.
lTY MEASURE.
PARTY LINES NOT CLOSELY DRAWN
STEVENS (REP., MINN.) OPPOSES
AND MCCLELLAN (DEM., n. w
SUPPORTS BILL. -
Av,se

Washington, Nov. 18.-When the
house convened Mr.. Fowler IN. J.)
and Mr.. Brundige (Ark.) we're sworn
in, after which the house went into
committee Of the whole and resumed
consideration Of the Cuban bill. Mr..
Knapp (Rep., N. W was the first
speaker.
Mr.. Knapp said that above the com.
mercial reasons why the treaty should
be made effective, justice to Cuba, for
the future prosperity of which the
United States must be made respon-
sible, demanded favorable action on
the pending measure.
Mr.. Stevens (Rep., Minn.) spoke thir-
ty minutes in opposition to the bill. He
said that, while firm protectionist.
he believed the time at hand when re-
ductions in the present tariff sched-
ules must be made. He said it was
nonsense to think there will be any
great increase in our trade with Cuba:
II believe the measure is cruel
blow TO one of the most promising
agricultural industries of this coun~
try" said Mr. Stevens, adding that
there would be a greater reduction in
revenues than estimated by advocates
of the bill
Champ Clark Opposes Bill.
Mr.. Clark (Dem., Mo- prefaced his
remarks by saying he believed it the
first duty Of a Democrat to congratu-
late the Republicans that light was
breaking in on them. Speaking OF the
rule cutting off amendments to the bill
Mr. Clark said the probability is that
the Democrats will control the next
house and elect the next president
adding: The more of these ironclad
rules you ram down our throats the
more you will have rammed down
yours"
Turning his attention to the Cuban
bill Mr. Clark declared with emphasis
that the ..epublicans could not pass
the bill without the Democratic vote
in the house, adding "and you know
it,"
Mr. Mcclellan, who will soon return
from congress to assume the duties Of
mayor of Greater New York, followed.
He said there was an argument in
favor of the enactment of the bill
which rose above all others and in
volved the duty and honor of the
United States. ~
:"As we have made it impossible for
Cuba" said Mr.: Mcclellan, Ito seek
alliances elsewhere it is duty we
cannot shirk to permit her to enter
into the closest political and CONNER
cial relations with u.s. ..

An Impatient Man.

A Salem man thinks he has had trouble
enough to entitle him to a divorce. 1t
appears that his wife tore the signs from
his store, put into his tea something that
made him i'll, threw his clothes down
stairs, filed his shoes with cold water,
put refuse in his overcoat pocket, threw
water over him as he went down stairs,
put pepper in his bed, made him sleep in
an attic, wouldn't do his washing, would
not mend his clothes, made him darn his
socks and sew buttons on his shirts, spat
On his toast when he was getting his
breakfast, rocked in sQueaky chair for
hours at time to annoy him, put grease
on his Sunday clothes, wouldn't let him
have fire on the coolest evenings so that
he often had to go to bed at p. m. to
keep warm, and finally she rubbed a
butcher knife over his neck and threaten
ed to blow out his brains.
Fortunately, there are many men who
wouldn't think of seeking divorce for
trivial reasons as these. but men differ.
The Salem man evidently has the patience
and endurance needed in married life. If
he gets the divorce he seeks he may find
that he has made mistake, and would
have done better to stick to wife who
was at least interesting, even if occasion
ally somewhat agitating.
