Lord Butte is descendant Of the H.
legitimate son of King Robert IL. OF
Scotland. He is great coal baron,

of Cardiff, the Isle of Butte, six country
seats, London residence, large tracts

The young marquis, while evincinG
none of the intellectual endowments OF
his father-the Lothair of Lord Bea-
cohsfeld's famous story-is a good lin
guist, speaking most modern languages
even Russian, passably we'll. For the
rest, his tastes incline to sporting. He
is fond of fishing and is good shot
He has imported large numbers OF
birds for his preserves on the Isle Of
Butte. He has travelled much by land
and sea- and once made cruise I.
Iceland Like his father, he is de-
vout Roman Catholic. He cares little
for society. Mount Stuart is his prin'
cipal seat in Scotland. It is an i'm
mense Gothic structure, standing or
the coast, five miles from Rothesay.
On June 10 of the present year, the
marquis will be "a years old. Wher
he succeeded to his fathers titles IL
October, 1900, and on his coming of age
in June, 1902, there were prolonged fes
tivities in both Scotland and Wales.
Miss Bellingham is the daughter OF al
Irish baronet, Sir Henry Bellingham, o
the county. 10th, and about the same ag
as the marquis. She is petite brunette
of a vivacious temperament, witt
charming manners. She has no grea
accomplishments, no fads, and does no
go in for anything in particular. Lik'
her future lord she Is devout Roman
Catholic. Her only sister, Miss Id
Bellingham, is a nun of the Order O.
the Holy Child.

Intensely nervous 2 about his OWL

Of medium height and slight build his
remarkable physical characteristics
are his conspicuously small feet, which

traordinary art museums In England
It is built in the style of French
chateau, and the rooms and broad cor
ridors are adorned with French, Dutch
and English paintings by the best
masters. AS for mere curiosities, q
distinct from works of art, Mr.. Alfred
has hundreds of them.
The most conspicuous of them is q
circus-the only private circus In
England. It is about hundred yards
in diameter, palinged off and sur
rounded by trees. In the winter 1t is
covered by an enormous tent. At one
side, embowered among the trees
stands the royal box, a rustic building
in keeping with the surroundings. In
side, however, are seats and settees
which are the finest products Of modern
upholstery. Behind it ,is the dressing

like a rustic cottage with its matched
roof. but within it contains all the up
to-date accessories of the ring, where
Mr.. Alfred's guests are entertained by
performing, monkeys, ponies, dogs

birds flying through the branches and
a rivulet of water flowing.

Warsaw, Russian Poland, May 90
A workman who was trying to avoid
the observation OF two detectives on
MiOdowa street at noon Friday STUN
bled on the curb of the sidewalk and
a bomb which he was carrying In his
pocket exploded, killing the workman,
both detectives and injuring several
persons who were passing by. The bomb
was intended for Gov. Gen. Maximo-
witch, who was expected to pass the spot
on his way to the cathedral to attend
the service in honor of the cars birth
day u #
Bodies Blown to Pieces.
The bodies Of the victims were liter
ally blown to pieces. A cafe near the
scene of the explosion was entirely de-
molished; all the windows In the neigh
borhood were smashed and a lamp post
was torn out Of the ground.
Intended for Governor General.
The authorities are convinced that the
bomb was intended for the governor
general. 1t now develops that he was
attending the services Rt the cathedral,
which is situated at the corner of Dluga
and Miodowa streets, few yards from
the scene of the explosion. All the high
officials and members Of Russian soci-
city here also were present. The gov
ernor general had recently been threat
ened. with a bomb attack, particularly
since the May-day disturbances. The
police accordingly exercise the great
est vigilance whenever he leaves the
castle. After the officials had entered
the cathedral detectives observed a
poorly dressed man lettering on Miodo-
wa street. When the man saw the de-
tectives he ran toward the entrance of
confectioner's store, when he either
tripped or threw the bomb backward
at the detectives The explosion oc-
Cured only a minute before the people
commenced to pour out of the cathedral.
Three minutes later the governor gen.
eral would have passed the spot. Co.'S
sacks, who were hastily summoned, soon
cleared the streets, and the governor
general drove by another route to. the
castle.
Over Score Injured.
The number injured by the explosion
is %, including three women, one stu
dent and two schoOlboys. One of the
latter is detained at the police sta
tion, having been noticed warning
people against going into Miodowa
street. Many reports are in 3circula-
ton of strangers having stopped poor
addressed persons going in that d.
rection. Shop keepers assert that the
street, was unusually empty at the
time Ct the explosion. ag*s ~ - al
I The man who was carrying the bomb
has now been identified as a Polish
shoemaker named Dobrowo1ski, q
member of the violent section; of the
socialists. Latest reports state that
the detectives were in the act of ar
resting Dobrowolski when the bomb
exploded and all three were killed.

Revenue Fund

The general revenue fund OF tho
state shows a deficit of $4,000. This
deficit seems bound to increase Tor
months to come. The last legislature
anpropriated seas, 600 to be available
before July 81, but failed to mako any
nrovision for creating the sum. The
monthly drafts on the general revenue
fund are about $40o, 600, and all it can
stand. The indications are that be-
fore many months the state will have
IA borrow considerable money.

Lewis 4 Clark Exposition.

It is a noteworthy fact that the
Lewis and Clark exposition is the first
worlds fair to be held west OF the
Rocky mountains which has secured
the aid of the government:
And it is also surprising what an in
tcrest is manifested in the exposition
by the people of the east. They see
in the exposition an opportunity to visit
the Western country at a greatly re-
duced expenditure Of money, and not
only the exposition itself, but view
the wonders of the Western scenery,
and witness the great resources Of the
Northwest and the opportunities NJ
forded. The Great Northern railway
passenger department has been flooded
with inquiries as to the exposition:
and it augurs well fora big travel
through the Northwest this year.

body of Mrs. John A. Kirkpatrick
was found yesterday in the back yard
Of an ~unoccupied house at No. 9 Jack.
son street, only a short distance from
her home. She had been murdered
and the morgue physician states that
the woman had been criminally as
saulted. Late last night the police ar.
rested Norman Geyser and are hold
ing him on the charge of murder.
Developments show that Geyser had
been an admirer of Mrs. Kirkpatrick
for several years before her marriage,
and for a time was the cause of an
estrangement between Kirkpatrick
and his wife. The trouble had been
smoothed over and the couple were
living happily together, but last week
Mrs. Kirkpatrick it is said, COM
planned to her husband that Geyser
was annoying her by following her on
the streets and persisting in talking
to her. When arrested last night a
bloodstain was found on Geyser's
overcoat sleeve, and the knuckles of
his right hand were cut.

PASSAGE.

GREW OF WRECKED TUG MAR.
RoWLY ESCAPE DROWNING
IN ICY WATERS.

Boston, Feb. THE New England
coast south of Cape Cod was last
night tight in the grip of n of the
most extensive ice embargoes of re-
cent winters. While in Boston har-
Dor the only inconvenience was
caused by floating ice, south of the
cape conditions were far different,
Nantucket sound being almost com.
pletely closed over, while Vineyard
sound was filled with ice. Narragan-
sett bay is full Of ice and shipping
there is at a standstill.
Throughout the day the weather
was cold, but the temperature rose
gradually toward night, though it re-
manned too low to encourage hope of
an immediate thaw.
Navigation Difficult.
New York, Feb. lice foes COM
pletely filled New York harbor yester-
day, rendering the passage of vessels
in and out of the port slow and diff
cult. In the Narrows the ice pack was
so dence that even the powerful
transatlantic liners had trouble in
forcing a passage. One of the serious
results Of the presence of vast foes
in the lower bay during the past four
days has been the breaking and car
rying away of great numbers of spar
and can buoys in the various ship
channels. Captains Of coastwise
steamers and Sandy Hook pilots have
reported a number of narrow escapes
from grounding caused by the dis.
placement of buoys. Capt. Sheppard
of the light house board said that the
displacement of buoys by ice during
the week was unprecedented in tthe
history of the department, and that
the conditions of navigation into and
out of port are the most dangerous
that have ever existed.
Close Call for Thirty Men.
lewes, Del, Feb. 7. - Thirty men
narrowly escaped drowning yesterday
in the icy waters of the Harbor of
Refuge at the Delaware breakwater,
and after being rescued with the
greatest difficulty by the crews of
two tugs they were forced to make
their way to shore afoot over the
heavy ice foes with which the Della.
ware river and bay is blocked. The
men whose lives were imperiled were
Charles Jacobs and his crew of twen-
ty-nine men of Philadelphia ice boat
No. 2, which made it's way down the
river from Philadelphia in an effort to
make a channel for vessels icebound
at the breakwater. The iceboat col
lided with the sunken barge Santiago.
A large hole was stove in her hull.
Immediately the boat began to fill
with water and the crew realized at
once that there was no chance of
saving her. Capt. Jacobs signals OF
distress We're answered by the tugs
Teaser and Boxer. The tugs expert
enced much difficulty in reaching the
rapidly sinking. ice boat, their prog
ress being hampered by the heavy
cakes of ice, which ground against
the sides of the little vessels, render
ing their efforts extremely hazardous.
They succeeded, however, in drawing
near enough to throw a line to the
sinking iceboat and n by one the
crew were hauled aboard the rescuing
tugs.
