c. E. Jackson, the manager, and
Stillman Shaw, the secretary, of the
Douglas Consolidated Placer Mining

yesterday afternoon, bringing eight of
the men employed there in the cree

The work is practically at a %standstill,
however, until the resumption of op-

to start the plant in the separation of
placer fields.
A Modern Plant.
Mr.. Jackson will go to Oregon to
look after some mining matters re

will go to Boston, having interests
there. Both will be home as early in

Special Cable to The Herald
LONDON, Feb. 23-While the duchess
is enjoying herself with her kin on the
Riviera, the duke of Marlborough is
showing himself conspicuously here,
and society Is talking volubly of Queen
AleXandra's S manifestations of sympa-
thy with the duchess and of her
majestys evidence of disapproval Of
the duke.
He was at the opening of parliament.
Some close observers say that when the
queen ascended the throne she bowed
pointedly to the duke of Argyle on the
one side and Lord Londonderry on the
other, while she ignored the duke of
Marlborough. The dukes aunt and a
member of the queens household bore
a most sympathetic letter from her
majesty to the duchess before her de-
parture from London for Paris. The
queen wrote that she hoped for COM
plete reconciliation between the duchess
and her husband, expressed affectionate
interest in the future of their two sons
and asked for a new photograph of
them in which their mother should ap-
pear.
The photograph was taken, and with
the signatures of mother and boys was
sent TO the queen
In this connection it is interesting to
note that very short time ago King
Edward took it upon himself to punish
the duchess of Marlborough in like
manner, snubbing her in an unmistak-
able way.

TOLSTOl AS OWN CRITIC;
THINKS ROMANCES POOR

PARIS, Feb. 23.-Edmond Giraud
wrote to Count Tolstoi asking him to
authorize his dramatization of the
counts novel, Anna Karenina," for
the Theatre Antoine.
Tolstoi did not reply. A mutual
friend in Russia visited Tolstoi and
asked why he had not acknowledged
Giraud's letter.
1.-The first duty of wise man is to do
nothing useless" answered Tolstoi.
my books are open to all the world"
Are you displeased that Anna
should be dramatiZed?" asked the Wis
itor.
NO" was the answer, II am glad
when plays are made out of my novels.

to prevent people from reading them.
The dramas that are squeezed out of

People who are bored in my name at

minds as a mere amusement maker
However sincere he is, Tolstoi is
wrong here. Mr.. Stock, publisher of
French translations, says the demand

Anna admirably.
East Lynne" offers a close parallel
to the character. Anna runs away from
her husband with Captain WronskY,
the fiance of her dear friend and guest,
Kitty Teherbatsky. Despite Anna q
wrongdoing one feels deeply interested
in her and hopes that in heaven, where
there are no marriages and, of course,
no divorces, she may be superlatiVely
happy.
The costumes in the play are superb.
The snow scene at the residence of a
Russian baroness calls for sumptuous
furs. The toilets are in the first en-
pire style, warmed up with sables, er~
mine stoles, chinchilla trimmings and
collars and blue fox furs. The weep

which the women wear, cost from 500
to.&200 apiece, or more.

the drop curtain scene is a triumph of
startling realism. The train rattles

the puffs Of smoke and steam mark
the progress through the cut which ths
audience does not see. But il hears

applause than this instrument of the
dark destiny which rules the heroine
life and serves as her eXeCutioner.

NEW PEERAGES
ARE DYING OUT
RACE SUICIDE PREVAILS IN
NOBLE FAMILIES
Host Of Recent Creations Are Beeom-
ina Extinct Through Lack Of
Issue-some of Those
Without Heirs
Special Gable to The Herald.

Special Gable to The Herald.
LONDON, Feb. 23.--The death Of Lord
Thring without an heir following on
the lapse of the baronies Of Field. Bur
dett-Coutts, Currie, Hobhouse and Lin
gen, draws attention to the number of
peers, particularly recent creations, who
are without heirs to carry on the dig
nifty.
When Sir Henry Campbel- Banner
man made a number of peers recently
II was jocularly said in the house of
commons lobby that they had only one
son among them. This meant that they
were nearly all childless, or at any rate
peers without sons, and as the list In
cluded Lord Courtney, Lord Eversley,
Lord Pirrie, Lord Armitstead, Lord
Fitzmaurice, Lord Glantawe, Lord Hav
ersham. Lord Loreburn, Lord Weardale
and Lord Winterstoke, 1t is only to be
supposed that with the deaths of the
present holders the titles will become
extinct.
1t is very much the same with many
of the peerages created by Lord Sails
bury and Mr.. Arthur Balfour Lord
Estcourt, Lord Barrymore, Lord Faber,
Lord Northcliffe, Lord Northcote, Lord
Miner, Lord Alverstone, Lord Ardilaun,
Lord Farquhar, Lord James of Here
ford, Lord Kelvin, Lord Mount Stephen,
Lord Lister, Lord Baltimore and others
created by the Unionist prime ministers
are without issue, so that they are prac-
tically life dignities.
The titles of Earl Roberts, Viscount
Wolseley Viscount Kitchener and Lord
Strathcona would die with them but for
special remainders.
The hereditary side of the house of
lords is not, therefore, so strong as
many think. In fact, judging from the
families of the peers created in the last
few years, 1t would seem as if the prime
minister took into consideration wheth-
er prospective peer had a family or
not when his claims to the dignity were
considered. If he was without heirs his
case would appear to have all the bet
ter chance for favorable consideration.
King Studying Heraldry
King Edward has recently been pay
ing much attention to heraldry and
keeping the heralds college employed
carrying out his commands with regard
to new grants of arms. Two of the
most interesting royal grants have been
of arms and a flag to Queen Alexandra
and one of royal lions to Sir Frederick
Treves as an augmentation Of his own
coat of arms.
A chat with the expert in heraldry
elected one or two interesting facts.
The grant of arms to the queen was
made because her majesty had no arms.
Her own flag, of course, went with the
arms. Everybody who has a coat of
arms is at liberty to fly flag bearing
the device.
A rule regarding the arms of royalty
is interesting and is not known by the
general public. The arms of members
of the royal family do not descend as
the arms of their subjects do. A special
grant to each member from the king
himself is required. The grant in each
case is of his majesty's own arms, with
the proper marks of distinction.
Though the kings children do not in
herit their arms, the children of his
