THE HOUSE OF LINDSAY.

"Marquise de Fontenoy'' in tbs
New York Tribune.-Although Mrs
Archibald Lindsay, daughter of the
well-known Boston banker, William
A. Tucker, by securing a decree from
the courts of Massachusetts from her
husband has forfeited her prospects OF
becoming a peeress of the realm, yet
her little boy, who has been awarded
to her custody, has a fair chance of
inheriting the ancient Scotch earldom
of Lindsay. The present earl-that is
to say, his grandfather-is a man OF
considerably more than 20, while
Lord Garnock, the eldest son and next
heir has been married for nearly IA
years without having any children.
The Hon. Archibald is next in the
line of succession. But the hOnors
are of a somewhat barren character,
for the present earl is a poor man;
and while Lord Garnock has a rich
wife, it is not likely that either he or
she will do anything in a financial
way for the Hon. Archibald or his SON
Lord Lindsay is a descendent Of
that Scotch knight of Lindsay who
figures in the Chronicles" of Frois
sart as having been one of the most
gallant leaders of the first crusade.
The earldom has been subjected 70
the most extraordinary vicissitudes,
and after remaining dormant for
many long years was revived in favor
of the late earl, son of a soldier of for
tune, who spent the major part OF his
life in Persia as commander-in-chief
of the shah's artillery, and lies buried
at Teheran. One of the earls of Lind
say were implicated in the murder OF
Rizzio the favOrite of Mary Queen Of
Scots, and those who have read Sir
Walter SCOTS well-known novel, The

ton. Another Lord Lindsay was COM
mander of the Scotch Covenanters, in
spite of which he attempted to rescue
King Charles |, and the seventh earl
was a sergeant in the army, his father
having been an illiterate carpenter
Indeed. the history of the house of
Lindsay is one of the most romantic of
the Scotch peerage.

MINNIE'S JOURNEY.

The following incident is vouched
cat:
Mrs. L. owned two cats, one of which
was a female who was most peculiar,
both in her markings and also n
color Mrs. LIS sister was very anX-
iouS to possess her, but her sister
said: Minnie will never stay with
you, I know" When Minnie had her
next family, two kittens were saved.
Mrs. L. took Minnie and her two ba-
bies in a basket to her sisters house
at Orchard Park. She went there in
a buggy as it was eight miles away.
The babies were then three weeks old.
One morning two weeks afterwards
when Mrs. l.. opened her back door
she found Minnie outside with both
the kittens! Minnie was very thin
and evidently tired out, but after
eating some bread and milk she went
to sleep with her babies behind the
stove. Later in the day the milkman
came. The milkman lived beyond

place daily. Mrs. L. requested him
to tell her sister of the cats return
and to express her wonder as to how
she came.
The milkman looked at the cat
and kittens and said: 81 saw that
poor cat week ago just this side of
Orchard Park, but of course had no
idea that she was your cat or l should

She dropped that kitten when she had

KEPT BODY OVER YEAR.
Kansas Undertaken Wanted Pay From
La Crosse Heir.

La Crosse, Wis, April 27.-After
holding the body of a corpse over
eighteen months in an effort to secure
remuneration for his services from
an heir, who was former La Crosse
girl, the remains of Thomas Guy have
been inferred in a potter's field by a
Kansas City undertaken.
Thomas Guy died in Kansas City
nearly two years ago, leaving consid,
cradle property in Hull, Eng. Miss
Ida Guy and her mother, both resi-
dents of La Crosse, enlisted the serv-
ices of local attorneys in an effort to
re-establish their heirship to the es-
tate and succeeded in gaining posses
sion of it.
Meanwhile the corpse was stored in
the attic of an undertaking shop
awaiting funds to pay the cost of en-
balming the body, and none being
forthcoming it was at last necessary
to inter it.

presented from La Crosse. The city
complains that the county board OF

liens of La Crosse brought a com,

at least S1,000000 of assessed valua-

sessment as charged and equalized
againt the city, in order that the err
rors be adjusted in substantial justice

Arranging a Piano Cover.

The architects whose business is
mainly in steel construction call upon
the world to witness that San Fran
cisco's skyscrapers bore the shock of
the earthquake better than the brick
or frame structures. Twenty of them
were in course of erection when the
shock came and reports are that these
escaped injury, while the completed
steel buildings also w1thstood the
shock, though some of them were de-
stroyed by fire later on. Architect
Frank M. Howe of Kansas City, says:
''The properly constructed steel
building is the safest building in the
world. A steel building properly con-
structed is like a steel rod stuck in
the ground. An earthquake may
sway it, but it has an elasticity that
promptly brings it back to equilibrium
again. In this respect it has a dis
tinct advantage over any other class
of structure. In a steel building the
masonry is reduced to minimum.
Each story of the building is almost
entirely independent of any other.
Each story carries its own masonry
on a steel frame. A shake-up would
not affect the masonry, as it would
affect solid wall of heavy masonry.
A crack or rupture might appear in
one frame of the masonry without
affecting any of the other frames.
In a solid wall of masonry crack
would spread until, perhaps, it split
the building or greatly damaged it.
You have seen stone sidewalks scored
into squares. A crack appears in one
of these squares and it loses itself in
the cross score mark. But for the
scoring the crack would spread in
definitely. If you would undertake to
reduce a steel building with bonn
bardment from artillery you would
have to shoot out each frame of ma
sorry where, in a solid masonry wall,
if you undermine it anywhere the
whole thing would probably go. Each
story of a steel building is inclosed as
thoroughly as if it was the completed
wall. You shake a solid masonry wall
and the vibrations extend through
the entire building. In steel build
ing the vibrations lose their strength
between the different sections of the
masonry The vibrations are arrested
or checked at each section of the
building The same principle applies
to the floors of a steel building. Usu-
ally the floors are built of terra Gotta
or some similar material The floors
are sectioned in the same manner as
the outside masonry. Frequently a
disaster is caused by the caving in
of floors. in steel building the cross
sections carrying the floors are riv-
tied to the upright steel construction
and each floor section is independent
of the other. Usually these floor sec
tions are about twelve feet square.
One section might fall, but it is i'm
probable that it would carry any
other with it,
While the steel buildings now I'M
der construction in San Francisco
may be completed, the insurance men
and investors look for no consider
able further development along the
line at the Golden Gate They may
not question the architects conclu-
sion that steel is superior to frame
and yet question the wisdom of tax
ing large risks on any sort of a build
ing in a city peculiarly liable to de-
struction or injury by earthquake or
fire.

charged that the case made up by the
representatives was faulty and based
