TALES OF NOBILITYFR0M GREAT BRITAIN

of defenders arose in various pats
 of the earth, and fought valiantly
 in defense of the poets reputation 1 When the controversy was hottest it
 was announced that Lord Lovelace,
 the grandson of Byron, had discover
 ed documentary evidence from the
 family records which would be pub- 1 lished in book form, and, very natur- ! ally, everybody expected that he , would vindicate the honor of tue tan- l fly.
 The book was entitled "Astarte: \
 Fragment of Truth Concerning George
 Gordon Byron, Sixth Lord Byron, Re-
 corded by His Grandson, Ralph Mill l banke, Earl of Lovelace,' and when it 1 appeared the admirers of the poet
 and his army of defenders and indeed
 the whole reading world were shock ed beyond expression. By present. l ing copies of private letters of the
 most domestic and confidential char
 acter, the Earl of Lovelace demon- strated that the statements of Mrs. Stowe concerning his grandfather | were not only correct, but that she
 did not tell one-tenth of the story
 He proved that Byron was unworthy of respect as a husband or father or man, and was a person of most con temptible character
 It was an entirely unnecessary pub lication; it exposed family skeletons of the most revolting type, and dis closed secrets which should have
 been sacredly preserved until they were forgotten. What impelled Lord
 Lovelace to blast eternally the reputa- tion of the most famous man of his family was never learned. The book
 naturally provoked hurricane of pro-
 tests and remonstrances, and Lord ! Lovelace retreated from the storm to his beautiful ancestral seat ca!le Ockham park, where he lived as a
 recluse.
 There are other eccentric people in the peerage, however, and some ver5. interesting characters. One of the most charming personalities is tho baron of Ardwick, Arthur HeniersoH
 who is deaf-mute. NotWita standing l his affliction, he is man of inlp' ea- sive appearance, learning, physical vitality and a keen sanse of hulnnr. H is great sportsman, an. has one
 of the finest string of hunters ill Eng land. goes to India and Africa to shoot his game, is president of cricket club a football club, q golt club and an anglers association. He has one of the best libraries iu !Al2lanI and a collection of curio9 which he has ".ch- ed up in his travels all GveI the W0ll :. Twice has hp yisi4ei the United States and is familiar Ni@h all the most in- | terestin9 parts of that country, haN- ing spent seyer1i months shooting in I Colorado, Utah and Wyoming. He 1 is also engaged in several lines of { Dhianthropic work, naturally giving
 the greatest amount of attention to fhe Royal association in Aid of the
 Deaf and Dumb. In this capacity he
 has done great deal to improve the
 educational possibilities of deaf-mHtes
 and has been able to secure many
 members of that class employment.

ILondon, Oct 20.-The other day he Earl of Lovelace fell dead from eart disease on the veranda of his eautiful mansion near Ripley in the bunty of Surrey, forty or fifty miles tom London. He was Sonless Wld- Mer, v years old, so that the titles hd estates pass to his half-brother, saptain King-Noel of his majesty S rnE, now on the retired list. The hrlFWas man of remarkable traits, ecentric habits and most distin- uished ancestry He was descended irect from King Henry II by Lady katherine Grey, sister of Lady Jane Erey. Among other ancestors were John Locke, metaphysician and phi Iosopher, and author of volume en- titled Locke on the Understanding, Ihat has brought distress into the lives of college students for cen Iury and half. Peter King, who was lord chancellor for many years ill The early part of the eighteenth cen- kury, was another of his forefathers. But perhaps the best known in the long list was Lord Byron, the poet, whose daughter, Lady Wentworth, us bally known as Ada Byron, was his mother. Ada Byron was the only childs of the poet, who deserted her mother when she was only month old and never saw her afterward. Nevertheless, he frequently mentioned her with affectionate remembrances and dedicated to her "Childe Harold" perhaps the greatest of his poems, in these extraordinary lines:
 "IS thy face like thy mothers, my
 fair child?
 Ada, sole daughter of my house
 and heart.
 When last I saw thy young blue eyes
 they smiled
 we part,
 But with hope.'
 l slang would call "hot air" and they are certainly queer lines for father to write about child he deserted in infancy But we must remember that Byron was not rational being.
 The late Earl Lovelace created one of the greatest sensations ever eXperi- enced by the literary world many years ago, and shocked the seusibi!i- lies of the ariStocracy of iGnglann, fEb are usually loyal to their own sinners and keep their skeletons lock ed up in cupboards as securely as possible. He published book 70 prove that his grandfather was an infamous scoundrel and was emile1t- ly successful. In 1869 Harriet HnacF- CT Stowe charged that Lord n:fon abused his wife in a brutal an1 ii1iHu man manner and declared ti,at she lived life of martyrdom until he de- serted her and went to live With az other woman in Italy. Until Mrs. Stowe made this attack it was uni yersally understood that his sl,par;- tion form his wife was due to the eccentricities of genius, to the rsSf- less habits of a most amiable ami charmig man who fell in love w'th Everybody and caused everybody tG fall in love with him.

MAKINa GREAT EFFoRT.

Chicago. Nov GA strong effort Is being made to bring about com promise between the switchmen and the railroads and tonight the men arc con- sidering a proposition submitted to them by the employers.> .>
 Numerous conferences were held to- day between representatives of all the railroads entering Chicago and P. Nor rissey of the Brotherhood aOf Railroad Trainmen, and with r. c. Hawley of the Switehmen's Union of North Amer lea, in relation to the demands made on the roads by the swltchmen belong ing to both organizations. The de- mands of the meu call for an increase of 10 cents an hour in wages. The railroads offered an increase of cents, but this was refused.
 Then the general managers offered to arbitrate the controversy in any man ner the switchmen might propose, but this also was rejected. In order to avoid a struggle, the employers then decided to offer them a raise of cents an hour. which is equivalent 10 an increase in wages of 10 per cent. The men now have this proposition under consideration.
 Late toight Mir. Hawley stated that he did not think a strike would bs called, and believed that an amicable adjustment of the difficulty would be reached tomorrow.

BERLIN OUTsFRIPs LONDON.
German statisticIan Gives Remarlkabl
 Forecast.

German statistician Gives Remarkable
 Forecast.
 Berlin Special.
 Which is to be the greatest city in the world?
 No one has seriously thought of Ber- lin as the worlds greatest town, and yet, accordin gto a German statistician Herr Oehmke, the German capital is likely to pass all its rivals. with the possible exception of New York.
 Herr Oehmke has made some remark able prophecies In book just publish ed. He says that, with the exception of Budapest, Berlin has grown In pop ulation more rapidly than any other European town. Greater Berlin, in- cluding the adjoining suburbs and sep arate boroughs, now contains popula- tion of more than 3.000,000, and the growth is going on at greater rate than ever.
 Berlin, says the Professor. is des- tined to be the largest city in Europe both by reason of it's political import ance and of its rapidyy growing com mercitl interests. He believes 1t will outstrip both Paris and London, and that the only serious rival in the world in point of population will be New York, but he considers that the German capital will contain still more inhabitS ants than the American city.
 According to the author. the popu- lation of Berlin in the middle of the twentieth century will be approximate ly 14,0OO,O0O, whereas the population of London at that time is not likely to exceed 100000.
 How can such city be provisioned4 [ The author comes to the conclusion that means of communication and the organization of business vii be so much improved in fifty years time that a task which would now be impossible will be carried out with comparative facility.

HAD FAIR DAY.
New York People Began Voting at {
 O'Clock.

New York, Nov. 6.--llection day was nnhered in with weather conditions all lhat could be desired. The air was clear and crisp. but it was not cold though to bring any personal discom- fort. Election officers were at their , posts before o'clock, making ready for the voting. which began at 6 o'clock. The polls closed at 5 o'clock this afternoon.
 Voting in the city. 1t is said was slower than usual because of the huge blanket sheet tickets and the numer- Ona candidates. The general ticket had thirty-nine names on it, and there was, besides, long list of candidates for Justices of the Supreme Court
 Returns from upstate probably were much earlier than usual as voting ma chimes have been installed in many cities and towns. The vote in Erie and Monroe counties were fin by D. m
 The hotel betting usually feature of election eve in this city, was rather slow last night. The corridors of the hotels where this business is conduct ed, were thronged until q late hour but the big wagers of former years were lacking The betting closed at to 1, in favor of Hughes.
 W. R. Hearst and Charles E. 6u2neS, AnG cam0AOaLeS TOT GOVeTnOT, received the returns tonight at Atheir homes in this city.
 As the forenoon wore on, balloting through the city continued with un- ahated strength. This was particularly noticeable in the so-called "silk stock aangs" neighbnrhood. Tn the thirteenth election district of the Twenty-ninth Assembly District, POI out of total registration of 547 had been boiled up to Q o'clock
 Sixteenth, Eighteenth, Twenty-seventh covering Park, Madison, Fifth and Lex of Central Park, showed that about one-third of the total vote had been cast before 9 o'clock.
 A general canvass of the TRelfth Assembly District, Charles F. Murphy's the total registered vote had been cast before 9 o'clock.
 There was much dissatisfaction among the street car employees of Man haitian today as a result of a notice which appeared yesterday at the car barns of the New York City Railway Company. The notice reads.
 NO man will be excused tomorrow, November 6. Any man reporting sick or losing his car will be dismissed; ; provided, circumstances warrant 1t. Any man losing his car will report Co starter as soon as possible.

The south--The EarieheF.


 Many scientists are viewing with alarm the possibility of a deterioration of soil, which some claim may event. Ially threaten the worlds supply un- less the experiments to secure nitrogen from the air should prove commercial ly successful, and thus make possible the constant rehabilitation of the soil Already the rich prairie States are finding commercial fertilizers a neces- sity, and last year Ohio used 100000 tons. The South holds a world monop- oly on fertilizer making materials, such as phosphate rock, sulphur, etc. Eu- rope draws it's phosphate rock mainly from this section and Louisiana now dominates the sulphur market of Eu- rope and America. Strong as the South is in coal and cotton and iron, it Is equally as strong in phosphate rock and sulphur, and it can not only en- rich it's own soil, but supply the needs of other sections and other countries. Great is the South.

 Following the interview Mir. Hearst sent word to the newspaper men that he was not as yet prepared to make a statement. From the messages he has received and the report made by Mir. Chanler, the result appeared to be al- together too uncertain to justify a statement by him at that hour.
 MT. Ihmsen later told Mir. Hearst that the results in several strong Re- publican counties were being held back, thereupon Mir. Hearst remarked.

 Of Interest to COnsumPtiVeS. Augusta Me-, Special.
 The issue of the bulletin of the State Board of Health is a special tu- berculosis number, and contains many articles which are of interest to those who are making study of the dis ease The bulletin says regarding Maine as a health resort for consump- tives:
 "In the past we overestimated the value of special climates in the treat ment of consumptives. There are still reason to give the climates of some places preference over those of other places Places some distant inland are better than those immediately upon the seacoast; nevertheless, the cura- tive results in some sanitariums near the coast have been exceedingly good.
 "A good percentage of sunshine Is an advantage, nevertheless. At some of the sanitariums in Great Britain, at Nordrabk, in the Black Forest of Ger many, and in the Adirondacks, where the results have been of the best. there is much or considerable cloudy wealth er Mildness of temperature is con- venience, but our consumptives in' our northern climes race right away from those in southern attitudes in their pro- gress toward health. In fact, in sani- tarium treatment the cure Is much more rarid in winter than in summer, wheth- CT ins Maine, Canada or the Adiron- dacks.
 "The correct explanation is probably two-fold: the inhibitory action of the cold air upon the development of the tubercle bacini, and the tonic effect of cold, pure air upon the organisms of the patients, and their enormously in- creased capacity for taking, digesting and assimilating food supplies Far ther south altitude Is of importance as tending to lower temperature; in the north. sites elevated only enough to escape the fogs or mists from the sea, lake or river, which lessen the avail able total of sunshine and dryness of atmosphere for the region, are what is required"
