WHAT Is DOING
THE WORLD OVER.
A WORD A7oUT THE LEADING
EVENTS OF THE WEEK.

Opened Grave Ends Druce Case.
The attempt to prove that the grave of
Thomas Charles Druce in London con-
tanned not his body, but sheet OF lead,
buried at a mock interment in order to
dispose of s'Druce," who was alleged to
be the double of the then Duke of Port
land, failed when it was found, on OPEN
ing the grave Monday, that it did contain
Druce's remains. The case of the clai-
mant to the Portland millions, George
Hollamby Druce, has fallen fat. Much
of the money by which he prosecuted the
case has come from servant girls and 9TH
ers who have invested in a company that
he formed for the purpose. The claim
was that the former duke passed part of
his time known as Druce, living double
life, and the question was whether
Druce's heirs were or were not rightful
owners of the immense Portland estate.
