Last Thursday MT. Clive-Bayley, the Eng fish consul. received letter of inquiry from Captain William French of New Mexico. an uncle of the missing man. and on Friday the police were asked to send out general alarm. It did not require much investigation to learn that the British officer had enlisted as private in the United States army and was stationed at Fort SIocum. or David's island.
 'I enlisted because I had pretty strong notion of doing so when I left home.' said Private French wben in reviewed in his barracks. ''I had ap idea of going up to Canada and joining the mounted police ID there ill the northwest. but inc more I heard and thought about that country and its 40 degrees below zero the less liked if. , So I enlisted in the American army. and here l am.

JOHN DREW.

The plot of "The Duke of Killi- crankie," which John Drew presents tomorrow night, centers about the young, eccentric duke who, after three unsuccessful proposals, has dccoyed the beautiful Lady Addison to his Scot tlsh castle. entanglng in the same trap Mrs Mulholland as chaperOn, and MT Pitt-Welby, NJ. F.. as general as sistant. The strategy used by the duke to obtain the ladys hand. while at the same time observing the con ventiOns of social life: the defeat of his plans by the lady's own clever ness; and the journeys at wit and re- partee between Pitt-W -Welby and Nus Mulholland-all charmin2ly suspend cd in its solution until the very last line, are really beyond description and must be esen to be appreciated. Some thing of the popularity of "The Duke of killicrankie" may be gathered from the fact that it has not only played the longest engagement of any piece at the Empire theater. New York. this season. but that it is even now being given in London where it was first produced bv MT Frohmans English company. Prices arc 9, jO, 75 cents, S1 and S1.JO.

If lacking in either one of such essentials, the possession Is insuficient for that purpose.
 2. Same; color of title.--The general rule is that possession of part of the land will be extended by color of title to the whole tract described in the color of title, fin the absence of actual possession thereof by the true owner But the rule has exceptions: and where a person takes and maintains a few acres of land in an uncultivated town ship, for the mere purpose of thereby gaining title to the entire township, by the extension of his actual possession under color of title. the rule does not apply. Tn order that part of the land which is not actually possessed may be deemed constructively so, 1t must be for use with or subservant to the par ties actually possessed. Constructive pos session will extend only to such land as is used in connection with the land actually possessed, and only to so much as is reasonable and proper for the purpose according to the custom of the country.
