Special Cable to The Herald.
OXFORD, England, Aug. 3.-Sir Rob-
ert Buckell one of the ne wknights in
the kings birthday honors list, and for
thirty years or more the leader of the
Liberal party in Oxfordshire, has re-
ceived his honor much belated because
for several years he was a resident of
America The Conservatives have al
ways tried to prove he was an Amer
lean citizen.
AS a young fellow he went out to
Indiana and settled in Terre Haute
where he learned many practical things
in American politics, imbibed tremen-
dous amount of American energy and
initiative, made fortune and bade fair
to eclipse the Hon. Daniel w. Voorhees,
in oratorical power and political lead
ership.
Family affairs made necessary his per-
manent return to oxford in the height
of his Indiana success. He had declined
an Indiana nomination for congress.
Walked Oxford Up
Oxford soon learned that there was
new power in its midst, a slender fell
low with mild blue eyes and charming
manner, who could pack the halls
throughout the country every night in
the week and sway his audiences COM
pletely from laughter to tears; who
could win votes by the thousands and
work twenty hours a day If necessary.
The Conservatives scoffed, the old lead
ers among the Liberals were naughty,
but young Buckell kept on speaking
by night and working by day. and tell
ing the funny stories for which he has
always been famous.
In a few years the old war horses
were only too glad to follow his leader
ship and acknowledge the worth of his
American ideas. He was elected sue
cessively to all the offices of the city
and offered the nomination to parlia-
ment several times. This last he has
always declined, as his lifework has
| been the civic Improvement of Oxford.
He has been mayor four times and
during each term has given the city an
unusually brilliant social regime. 1t is
said he spent $4,000 during his term
when the new municipal buildings at
Oxford were opened, which he had Sc
cured for the city after many years of
hard fighting.
Salisbury Rebuked for His Sake
! King Edward, then the Prince of
! Wales, was his guest at this time, and
when Lord Salisbury then prime min
lister, refused to give Mr.. Buckell the
| " WHICH nc was LIlen en-
titled the king sent a personal mes
sage to Salisbury expressing his dis
approval. The Conservatives had sew
eral times sent man out to Indiana to
prove that Buckell was an American
| citizen, so determined were they to kill
him politically. They could prove that
he had taken out the papers, but could
never prove that he had returned them.
That was an oversight on his part at
that time, so he says, as he fully ex-
pected to remain in America, but 1t was
certainly a lucky one.

ABSENT FOUR DAYS
Mrs. Ellen Allen Went Away on Saturday and No Trace Has
 Been Found.
FRIENDS FEAR FOUL PLAY
Cannot be Located at Hospitals, and Police Are Now Seeking Her
 Whereabouts.

Christmas for MT and Mrs. George L. Harris, 47S State street was sad dened by the fact that their old-time friend Mrs. Ellen Allen, had not put in an appearance after mysterious absence of four days. With tears coursing down her cheeks, Mrs. Harris said last night that all attempts to find Mrs. Allen, after an unrelenting search since Sunday, had proved futile. The police have searched the four corners of New Haven as with fine tooth comb Mrs. Allen has disappeared as completely as if the earth had sudden ly yawned at her feet and enveloped her
 Chief Cowles has had his detectives looking for her. but they cannot find the slightest clue to her whereabouts since she left the home of the Harris at 1S0 Saturday afternoon. Then she told Mrs. Harris she was going on q shopping expedition and would return at night. Sho not returning, Mrs. Har- ris concluded she had passed the night at the home of friend of hers, Mrs James Corners in Ferry street, but this was not the case.
 Mrs Allen is medium sized woman, 57 years of age, dark complexioned, and when she left the house Saturday afternoon she wore heavy dark cape, a rainy day black skirt, fur tippet, a blue waist and hat ornamented with plumes
 She is said to have possessed a sub stantial sum of money when she start cd out
 Mrs. Harris said: "she is woman who would notify me if she was going to stay away any length of time or was going to a friends house. think that she has either been the victim of foul play or else some accident has be- fallen her"
 Inquiry at the various city hospitals discloses that no such person as Mrs tAllen is being treated as a patient by them, and the police have nothing tC work upon other than description oi the woman,
 You can see for yourself" Mrs. Al. len said that she has not taken any thing with her. All of her things arc just as she left them. Why, she ever has the doorkey. I do hope that the police will do something toward find ling her"
 Mrs. Allen has lived with the Harris several years. Mir. and Mrs Harris are Springfield folks. MT. Harris is a painter.

chance to rest if she tries to escape by means of the bedclothes or a rope
 1T had to use bedclothes, but l pre- pared a box with thirty feet of rope and sent it to Miss Kendall, marked Merry Christmas from F. A. K Those are my initials, but they also happen to be the initials of Miss Kendall's fla ther, so the box was given to her with out inspection. I told her to try to get my old room and to throw out all her bedclothes, so as to make a soft place to land upon when she reached the end of the rope"
 Miss Kendall. or rather Mrs. Kent received the rope without any suspi- cion being excited and carried out Miss Kelcey's instructions to the letter. Kent was at the bottom of the rope and led Miss Kendall to carriage which he had in waiting outside the school grounds.

Thirty feet of rope sent by a girl in a Christmas box to Miss Ruth Kendall, at the Norwalk Finishing school, was responsible for a merry runaway we'd ding party at the Holland House, in New York, The former Miss Kendall appeared as Mrs. Alfred Kent.
 Mrs. Kent laughingly admitted that she had reached her f1ance's arms only after traversing the thirty feet of rope hanging from a window in the board ing school. Her chum, Miss Ethel Kelcey. of 155 West Forty-sixth street. New York, was present at the celebra- ton and said that she was proud to state that she sent the rope which had brought about such a happy result.
 But the rope descent was not the only feature of this romance. It was founded strictly upon Romeo-Juliet lines, for the fathers of Miss Kendall and oIr. Kent have been bitter enemies for generation. Whsn MT. Kendall in his home in PaIeigh, N. C., learned that "Kent boy from Asheville, N.

C., had made the acquaintance of his daughter strict orders were sent to the school that Miss Kendall's mail should be carefully watched and her excursions from the school well chap eroned.
 Miss Kendall and MT. Kent met last summer during their vacations at the Thousand islands. Miss Kendall told where she was to be sent to school, and Mir. Kent promised to call ire quently. His calls attracted the atten- ton of the school authorities, and they communicated with the girls parents, asking if it was with their consent that Mr Kent so frequently met the girl.
 The first answer to the inquiry came by telegraph, followed by 8 long letter of instructions. These replies shut off all chance of the sweethearts meeting, although they were still able to keep up more or less infrequent core spondence through friends,
 Kent begged for an immediate mar riage, and, while Miss Kendall was willing, she could find no means to escape from the school, and she found that her letters were being inspected ' In her despair she sent through friend 8 leetter to Miss Kelcey in this city. She knew that Miss Kelcey had at one time attended the school and had on her own account made ia mous escape from her room. The let ter implored Miss Kelcey to send dl- rections for an escape.

CHILDREN RUIN MAIL.
Drop STOW in Boxes and Destroy
 Addresses.

Mischievous children have played hob with some of the Christmas mail that was dropped into boxes in Derby The large tin boxes which are placed at various points for the packages that people wish to put in have always had peculiar fascination for children. They put into these sticks and stones and all manner of things This year some of the children more mischievous than others, or than in former years, put lot of snow Into some of them. The snow melted and the water run ming over the addresses on the letters. post cards and packages. completely obliterated these, There was enough snow in some of the boxes to form quite q little pool of water and as the boxes are water tight this water could not run out, The cold at night froze the water and consequently some of the letters, cards and packages were frozen to the bottom and sides of the box, and were torn when removed
 The children, Of course, do not know that this thoughtless act resulted in the destruction of United States mail and that such destruction is serious offense, and will make good deal of trouble if the postofffee authorities can find out whe is responsible for it.
