be desired that owners Of estates
should associate themselves with the
people. You might pay them a visit. "
To Ireland he went and did the
popular" and in due time was reward
ed with the coveted garter. 1t is said
that on the occasion of his visit to
Ireland he went out riding in the
ncighborhood of Lisburne, and on
reaching the top of a hill his COM
ranion said to him, Now, my Lord,
as far as you can see all is your own.
To which Lord Hertford replied, well,
1 see it for the first time, and 1 hope
shall never see it again" Nor did
he.
BY the law of entail his English es-
tates of Ragley and Sudburne passed
to his cousin, and intimate personal
friend of the Prince Consort But he
had taken a great dislike to all of his
relatives and left them nothing that
he could help. He is credited with
having said that his chief regret at
dying was that 1t would prevent him
seeing their faces when his will was
read. The fifth Marquis of Hertford
seems to have been animated by some
what similar feelings toward his rela-
tives, for he left all that he could con-
troll by will to his friend. Richard Wal
lace, who was subsequently created a
Baronet.
And thus it comes about that while
in Ragley House the present Marquis
of Hertford possesses what is emphat-
ically one of the stately homes Of
England" his income is entirely made
quate to its proper maintenance. 1t
was this mpoverishment Of the family
exchequer which drove his heir, Lord
Yarmouth-Lady James brother - to
America for a bride. There it will be
remembered he married Miss Alice
Thaw Of Pittsburg.
Lady Jane has a cousin who bears
the same name. She is the youthful
daughter Of the Rev. Lord Victor Sew
nlour. a South Kensington vicar. who
was born the fourth son of the late
Marquis. 1t may thus be anticipated
that yet another register will see the
bridal signature of an always historic
name.

Special Correspondents.

ONDON, Aug. 2O.-Apart from It's
social Importance the marriage
which has just taken place be-
\tween Lady Jane Seymour, young
est daughter of the Marquis and
Marchioness of Hertford, and Major
Hugh Dudley Carleton, is Of unusual
interest because of the historic memo
ries that are associated with the name
of the bride and the romantic history
of her family.
She is the third of her family to take
that font name to the altar. The first
was the right noble, virtuous and ex-
cellent lady, of convenient years and
excellent beauty" who, in 1886, became
the wife of that much married mon
arch, King Henry VIII The day after
the marriage took place another Of his
wives, the ill-fated Anne Boleyn, was
executed in the Tower. Jane Seymour
was the only one of the six for whom
he IS to have entertained any real
affection and respect. She did not live
lon;; enough to. give him time to out
grow it, dying the year following her
marriage and twelve days after the
birth of her son, who subsequently be-
came King Edward VI. Only once
did she sign her name as Jane the
Queen" That was on the day of her
sons birth, when the customary an
nouncement was made to the Privy
Council. King Henry VIII paid her
the compliment OF donning mourning
for her, tribute which he did not pay
to the memory of any of the other
four whom he survived. After his
death he shared the same grave with
her in st. Georges Chapel.
This Lady James marriage was the
making of her family. Her eldest
brother, Edward, was successively ere
ated Viscount Beauchamp, Earl of
Hertford and Duke of Somerset, and
as Protector played leading part in
the first half of the reign Of Edward
VI Another brother, Thomas, was
created Lord Seymour of Sudeley, and
became Lord High Admiral of Eng

his life on the scaffold in 1549.
On the death Of the seventh Duke,
in 1850, curious peerage case arose,
the title being claimed by descendants
of the first Duke by his first marriage;
and the Attorney General having re-
ported in favor of the claim, Sir Ed
ward Seymour took his seat In the
House of Lords as eighth Duke. The
Earldom Of Hertford was at the same
time conferred on this eighth Dukes
first cousin, Francis, who thirteen
years later was made Marquis. The
second Marquis married great heir
ess. and the wife of the third also
brought vast deal of money into the
family. 1t was this third Marquis who

became famous through Thackeray's s
portrait Of him as the Marquis of
Steyn.
The fourth Marquis was an eccentric
character, and neither before nor after
his accession to the title did he show
any interest in public affairs. But he
conceived a great ambition to become
a Knight Of the Garter. Sir Robert
Peel, when Prime Minister, told him
that he could not recommend the Queen
to give that distinction to nobleman
who so persistently resided out of the
country.

answered all questions satisfactorily until the last
one was reached. This covered the Colorado statute
on marriage and relationship, and permitted no
marriage license to be issued to first cousins. As
a sequei, the marriage did not take place.
