Lord Butte is a descendant Of the H.
legitimate son of King Robert IL. of
Scotland. He is a great coal baron,
owning $4,000 acres of land, the town
of Cardiff, the Isle of Butte, six country
seats, a London residence, large tracts
of land in Palestine, and rental of
$3.50, 900 year. He possesses II titles
and a baronetcy.
The young marquis, while evincinG
none of the intellectual endowments OF
his .father-the Lothair of Lord Bea-
cohsfeld's famous story-is 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 a good shot.
He has imported large numbers OF
birds for his preserves on the Isle OF
Butte. He has travelled much by land
md sea, and once made a cruise u
Iceland. Like his father, he is de-
vout Roman Catholic. He cares little
for society. Mount Stuart is his prin-
cipal seat in Scotland. II is an i'm
mense Gothic structure, standing on
the coast, five miles from Rothesay.
On June 10 of the present year, the
marquis will be "a years old. When
he succeeded to his fathers titles in
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 an
Irish sbaronet, Sir Henry Bellingham, of
the county. 10th, and about the same age
as the marquis. She Is petite brunette
of a vivacious temperament, with
charming manners. She has no great
accomplishments, no fads, and does not
go in for anything in particular. Like
her future lord she is a devout Roman
Catholic. Her only sister, Miss Ida
Bellingham, is a nun of the Order Of
the Holy Child.

Of medium height and slight build hts
remarkable physical characteristics
are his conspicuously small feet, which
are always beautifully shod. A little
autocratic and apt to candidly evince

It is built in the style of q French

ridors are adorned with French, Dutch
and English paintings by the best
masters. AS for mere curiosities, aa
distinct from works Of art, Mr.. Alfred
has hundreds of them.
The most conspicuous of them is a
circus-the only private circus In
England. It is about hundred yards
in diameter, palinged of and sur
rounded by trees. In the winter it is
covered by an enormous tent. AT one
side, empowered among the trees,
stands the royal box, 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
room, which, from the outside, looks
like rustic cottage with its matched
roof, but within it contains all the up
to-date accessories of the RUG, where
Mr.. Alfred's guests are entertained by
performing monkeys, ponies, dogs,
gazelles and trained tumblers and
acrobats. Another curiosity seen in
the chalet, which serves as a green
room, is a marvellous clock, made like
a tree, which plays tunes, sets silver
birds flying through the branches and

Plot to Stay Governor General Mis-

Killed Instead. ~

warsaw, Russian Poland, May ~
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
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.. " -
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 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
Il poorly dressed man lettering on Miodo-
wa street. When the man saw the de-
,tectives he ran toward the entrance of
confectioners store, when he either
tripped or threw the bomb backward
at the detectives. The explosion &C.
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.
Inc 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 ,circula-
ton Of strangers having stopped poor
addressed persons going in that d.
7rection. Shop keepers assert that the
street was unusually empty at the
time Ct the explosion. II ~ - ~ Vi
I The man who was carrying the bomb
has now been identified as a Polish
shoemaker named Dobrowolski, a
member of the violent section of the
socialists. Latest reports state that
the detectives were in the act of ar
resting Dobrowolslzi when the bomb
exploded and all three were killed.

Revenue Fund

The general revenue fund OF tho
state shows deficit of $4,000. This
deficit seems bound to increase for
months to como. The last legislature
appropriated $645, 900 to be available
before July 81, but failed to mako any
provision for creating the sum. The
monthly drafts on the general revenue
fund are about $500, 900, and all it can
stand. The indications are that be-
fore many months the state will have
to borrow considerable money.
