Lord chelsea's demise leaves his lit
to the Earldom of Cadogan, and all. the
great landed property in London which
goes with that title. The young vis-
counts death can scarcely be said TO
have been unexpected by his relatives.
For he has been in delicate health for
some time past. and obliged to spend
much of his time at st. Moritz, in
switzerland. and at similar resorts
frequented by people with weak lungs.
Much of the wealth of the family OF
ownership of most of that portion or
the metropolis known as Chelsea, which
he owes to the marriage of his grand
father to the heiress Of Sir Hans
Sloane. the eminent physician and
scientist, whose collection constituted
the nucleus OF what is now known as
the British Museum. When Lord iCado-
gan succeeded to- the family honors
and estates, he found the Chelsea prop

ly through the initiative of the late
Lady Cadogan, who was remarkable
woman, he inaugurated the so-called
Chelsea reconstruction scheme, which
had the effect Of converting the former
.ssluHns Of Chelsea into one OF the most
metropolis. Moreover, as most of the
Chelsea real estate was sold upon nine
ty-nine-year leases, and has since been
IbuiltEup with street upon street and
square upon square of the most costly
houses and mansions in London, which
.on the expiration of the lease will
become the property Of the ground

iCadogan is bound. like that of the
Duke of Westminster. to steadily In
crease in gigantic strides as the time
goes by.
