The bishop is verging on fifty. He is re-
garded now as a confirmed bachelor. He
has had his romance. When he was Bishop
of Stepney Lady Ulrica Duncombe, beau
tiful girl and the youngest daughter Of
Lord and Lady Feversham, was going
through course of Summing. She had fit
ted herself for the work by qualifying in a
hospital as fully trained nurse. She and
the bishop were thrown much together. In
the course of time their engagement was
formally announced, but for some reason
that was never explained it was broken
off. 1t has been suggested that the good
bishop came to the conclusion that the life
of arduous labor he had mapped out FOR
himself allowed scant room for domestic
bliss, and if called on to sacrifice one or
the other the church had the superior
claim on him. AS regards Lady Ulrica, it
has been hinted that, devout and kind
hearted though she undoubtedly is, she dis
covered that she yearned for something
different from the life of a minstering z
angel of the slums A few years ago she
married Col. Everard Barring, a brother of
Lord Revelstoke.
AT this writing the date of the bishops
departure has not YET been determined. He
will go first to Canada, visiting Quebec,
Montreal, Toronto and perhaps some other
Canadian cities. When he leaves Canada
hesw.ll make his way to Washington, stop
ping at various cities en- route. At Wash
ington, September %, he will participate in
the ceremonies attending the laying of the
corner stone of the great cathedral to be
built there and vii! deliver an address.
From Washington he will go to Richmond
He is expected to return to London about
the middle of October

DR.. Ingram worked harder than ever
when in 1897 he was made Suffragan Bishop
of Stepney, one of the most populous and
poorest of the big London boroughs. At
this time he never thought of using car
riages cabs, but did his rushing about
on street cars-or trans" as they are
called here-and by means OF the demo-
cratic underground" In the latter case,
moreover, he patronized the third class"
compartments, just as his humble parish
toner's did, instead of going first and
more often than not carried his frugal
luncheon with him and dispatched it be-

But the facts are notorious. Both parties
obtain large share of their campaign
funds by bestow!ng dignities on those who
contribute literally to them. The more
exalted the rank the bigger the price paid
for it. The market quotation for a coronet
is understood to be something between
100000 and 100000 England has estab-
lished democratic institutions, but the party
machines are kept running by the sale of
aristocratiC titles. Neither Sir Henry
Campbell -Bannerman nor any of the other
liberal party hacks really want to abolish
the house of lords any more than do the
conservative leaders. That would knock
out the chief means of obtaining the biz
gest campaign contributions. 1t remains to
be seen whether the curtailment OF the veto
powers of the upper house, IL it goes
through, will cause any slump in the mar
ket price OF coronets. Meanwhile King Ed
ward has to bear the odium of comforting
titles on rich folks who have done nothing
TO deserve them, whereas he is merely
obeying the orders Of his constitutional
advisers.

Fake Newspaper Picture
That Stirred Parliament
Special Correspondence Of The Star.

Special Correspondence Of The Star
LONDON, August 3 1907.
IT is seldom indeed that the legislature OF
i nation brings up for discussion the do
ings of the newspapers OF the land Yet
the present English parliament will be
noted for this very thing.
When the British house Of commons de-
bated on the doings of the Times. notably
the American civil war just after the battle
OF Bull Run and again during the Pagncll-
Pigott anair. history was woven Bus this
year parliament has tackled more than one
paper. There was first OF all a little Irish
sheet down Wexford way. then the London
Standard came into the nmcight closely
followed by the Daily Mail and now the
Daily Graphic has had "a turn.
tnQuestionahly the Daily Graphic case
was the most interesting and caused the
greatest stir. And the trouble was all
about some pictures which Englands only
penny daily illustrated paper published tho
end of last month July 20 to be accurate.
There have been a good many cases OF
some of the remoter districts of Ireland.
On the date mentioned the Graphic came
out with a set of half-page cuts of moon
lighting scenes. The paper calmly an
nounced that the light had been very bad
when the alleged outrages occurred and
that the enterprising correspondent had
waited for better light later and spec. ally
posed the actual perpetrators in the very
acts which they had committed and had
them photographed.
Evening star., 1907-08-18

Many of the Irish members wanted the
taken against the paper. John Redmond,
the Irish leader, wanted a law passed pro-
h.biting papers from publishing such pic
lures, or In fact any picture Of any IRISH
'outrases."
Arnold Herbert declared the correspond-
ent ought TO be arrested as an accessory
after the fact. Swift Mcneil was anxious
for the correspondent to be prosecuted for
libeling a whole people, as was Pettiel by
Bonaparte when first consul. The mem
Der for Cork, Mr.. Flynn, was sure the
events never took place. He told of other
pictures supposed to depict affairs in the
County Cork, which he swore never oc-
Cured. The government was quick to see
an opening. The attorney general agreed
instantly with Mr.. Flynn, and SO did every
one else. So it was decided that the events
never occurred, the Irish members were
once more happy and the incident closed
But parliaments declaration practically
brands the Graphic pictures as glaring
fakes. The paper may now have an in

chief Of the Daily Graphic about the mat

Mr. Hall said: Il was away on my
vacation when We printed the pictures and
l knew nothing of them until / returned
to the Office. The correspondent who sent
them in is a reliable man and an Irish
man. The matter was quite his own idea
If he actually posed the very men and
women who took part in the affair the pic
lures are certainly interesting ones.
Newspapers want interesting pictures. The
matter is going to be thoroughly investi-
gated, but 1 cannot say what further ac-
ton, If any, the Daily Graphic will take"
In British newspaper circles the whole
affair has created scnsation-and some
merriment. 1t is conceded that the en-
terprise shown by the correspondent is
quite American-which is praise. But the
British newspaperman is aghast at the
temerity of the correspondent in not only
being present at the outrage during the
night, but in corralling the moonlighters
until the sun rose, and then re-enacting
the scene in front Of his camera.
Evening star., 1907-08-18

The British public, despite the recent huge
influx OF Americans and American ideas
into this country, st.ll takes matters Sc
riously, and II Is not recordeI that any OF
the Daily Graphic readers smiled as they
viewed the pictures. In some quarters,
perhaps, the enterprise" of the paper was
lauded. But in the house of commons the
pictures created sensation. Many were
the questions put on the papers for the fol-
lowing days by Irish members and the at
torney general for Ireland, Mr.. Cherry, put

tons appeared. So Mr.. Cherry appeared
Tor second time and apparently now has
succeeded In smoothing down the wrath OF
the nationalists.
He announced that he had placed the
matter In the hands of the police. The in
spector general of the royal Irish con-
stabulary stated that the alleged moonlight
Ing outrages had not been reported and that
1t was scarcely possible that, IL they had
really occurred, the moonlighters would
have posed for photographs. The attorney
general also said that there was no way
to proceed against the correspondent or the
paper; that the government did not believe
the outrages occurred and would drop the
matter.

ANOTHER CRANK ON DECK

Whenever your average maker
can find nothing and nobody else to
knock he tries TO take a fall out of
the newspapers. In most instances,
perhaps, their bitterness or i'll feeling
towards the press is because the lat
ter in some way has failed to do
what the legislator wanted. or has
made public something he wanted to
keep hidden. In other cases anti
newspaper legislation comes from those
who want to make some sort of a
sensation.
A recent instance comes from ore
gon, where a member, who ought to
wear very long ears. has introduced
into the Legislature bill to forbid
the publication of accounts OF muir

lynchings, and other news of crimes
