ROMANTIC fight
FOR IRISH PEERA| A.
Law Courts to Decide Claim to
Extinct Earldoln Of s
Car1ingford.

DUBLIN, June 4
The details Of q case about to occupy
the attention Of the law courts suggest
Toned type.
The story circles around the latter
years Of the life OF Goodwin Meade Pratt
swifte, who called himself Lord Carlng-
ford" Of swiftesheath, County Kilkenny
ireland. The Carlingford peerage was
many years ago associated with the
switte family, but there appears to be
some doubt as to whether the late Cod
win M P. Swifte was entitled to the
name by which he was commonly known.
The peera ge, ut any rate. Is now extinct.
The plaintiff In the Forthcoming action
is George Goodwin Barnham swifte. the
second son OF .'Lord Carlingford" by his
first wife. The defendant is the widow Of
Lord Carlingford," Mrs. Mary Jane
swlfte, whom no married about fifteen
years after the death Of his first wife.
Goodwin Butler Meade swifte, the only
son Of the second marriage and the pres
ent master of Swiftesheath, is co-defend-
ant.

picturesque estate The lands have been

notable and historic case. For many years

world In many capacities, his one concern
being to gain respectable livelihood. He

lands will have been allotted. The
problem of providing further revenues
for schools, growing out of the fact
that the Indian lands of Oklahoma and
Indian territory have been allotted in
severalty to the Indians under a law
which makes them non-taxable has
been met by provision for an appro
priation of 100000 out of the treas
ury. This money is to be used to es
tablish and maintain schools. The
principal Of the fund may be used to
the extent necessary, the balance be-
ing placed on deposit at three per
cent. interest to the credit of the state
for the maintenance of the schools es-
tablished. The state constitutions to
be formed under the bill must contain
an absolute prohibition of polygamy.
Suffrage cannot be restricted except
for ignorance, imbecility, age and sex.
This will not prohibit woman suffrage
if the constitution to be adopted shall
so provide. Negro suffrage cannot be
restricted as such.
