Wen venture half your men are

10 gallons DevOe is enough for a

There's 1878 or $3.50 for or 10 extra

how half the houses stores factories
warehouses shops barns and fences are

$50 to $50 more for not knowing what

In the entire' SO counties of the
state he said, there are only 40
grain distilleries, sc tobacco factories,
80 cigar factories, four breweries and

excepting those located at Memphis,

SAYS DUKE HAD
A MOCK FUNERAL
Witness Tells of Eccentric Noble
mans Dual Life.
BIS VAST ESTATES AT STAKE

London, Nov. Hundreds of people
vainly fought for admittance to the
Marylebone police court when the
hearing of the famous bruce mystery
case was resumed. Many titled persons
we're present.
Herbert bruce, son of the late
Thomas Charles bruce. is charged
with perjury by his nephew, George
Hollamby bruce. The charge is Incl.
dental to the bruce claim to the es-
tates of the Duke of Portland, and
dates back to 1893.
This remarkable case centers about
the old question whether Thomas
Charles bruce, at one time the owner
Of the famous Baker street bazaar.
who was said to have died 40 years
ago, was or was not the eccentric
fifth Duke of Portland, who died in
1879.
Robert Caldwell, of Richmond coun-
ty, New York, testified that he knew
the late Duke of Portland both as the
duke and as T. c. bruce at Welbeck
Abbey and at the Baker street bazaar.
He said he treated the duke at both
places for a disease of the nose.
There was a buzz of excitement
when Mr.. Caldwell swore that in con-
junction with the duke he anged
the death and mock funeral of
"Druce," so that his duel personality
could finally be buried.
Caldwell declared that at the dukes
request he employed a carpenter to
make coffin, purchased 200 pounds
of lead and put it in the coffin him
self. The funeral occurred the follow
ing day.
Witness further testified that he saw
the duke on the morning of the fu-
neral at the Baker street bazaar.
When shown two photographs Mr..
Caldwell declared that they were
those of the Duke of Portland in the
character of T. c. bruce.
Asked to account for the beard
shown in one of them, he replied that
he had seen the duke wear a false
beard, and had even seen him take
1t Off
A day or two later he asked the
Duke of Portland if the so-called
bruce had left a will. The duke re-
turned thanks for being reminded of
such an important point and said he
must have one made.
One of the strangest features of the
case is that about the middle of June.
1906, workmen who were tearing
down Harcourt house, Cavendish
square, London, one of the residences
of the Duke of Portland, discovered
an underground passage from the
house to the Baker street structure,
in which the famous bazaar had been
conducted by Thomas Charles Bruce
The claimant declares that the
duke, while living his double life, used
the underground passage to get from
Harcourt house to the place of bust
ness of "Druce."
The original action in the case was
brought to eject Lord Howard de
Walden from the london property,
which his father inherited. from the
fifth Duke of Portland through the
supposed failure of the direct line.
The contention has been that il this
suit was successful the establishing
of the claimants title to the other es-
tates held by the Duke Of Portland
would follow as natural conse-
quence.
The income from the Duke of Port
lands estates is estimated at not less
than 81, 100000.
