the streets are rarely straight, and new

of ruin is everywhere-herea wall is
falling down, there a palace is in
ruins, a little farther a deserted
mosque is skrted. Such is Ispahan,

ulation Of 100000 is now reduced to
barely 100000 inhabitants"

TO CLEAR 1T UP
Important Step Taken In the Matter
OF the Thomas Charles Druce
Mystery.
CRAVE TO GIVE UP ITS SECRET

Was tho Body of Thomas Charles
bruce Laid In Tomb or Was Coffin
FlIed With Lead7 Is the Question
to BE Decided.
London, Dec. S0.-The work of open
Ing the grave OF Thomas Charles
Druce in Highgate cemetery to deter
mine primarily whether the coffin con-
tains the body of a man or, as has
been asserted, a roll of sheet lead
weighing some 200 pounds, was begun
Sunday. Incidentally the clearing up
Of this mystery will help materially
the progress of the famous bruce case.
The three-ton monument which
marks the resting-place of the bruce
family was removed by a score of
workmen. who were protected from
public observation by a shed which
had been erected around the burial
spot. All of those in attendance at
The opening of the grave and the cOf-
fin have been sworn to secrecy, so that
the result of the investigation will not
be known until the experts give evil
aence at the police court.
Herbert bruce, the defendant in the
now famous case, is charged with COM
hitting perjury by swearing that his
father, Thomas Charles bruce. of the
Baker Street Bazaar, died Dec. %, 1864,
and that he saw the dead body placed
In a coffin and buried in Highgate
cemetery. His nephew. George Hol-
lRmbly bruce, declares that this must
be untrue, because T. G. Druoe was in
tact the fifth Duke Of Portland, who
lived until 1879. That being so,
George Hollambly bruce claims that
be himself being the senior descend
ant in the male line. is now the right
tul heir to the Portland dukedom and
10 certain rich estates, the income Of
which is placed at $1.B00.000 a year,
now held by Lord Howard De Walden.
The opening Of the grave, however,
will not give conclusive proof OF the
slaim of George Hollambly bruce.
The fifth Duke of Portland and q
man known as Thomas c. bruce have
been declared to be one AID the same
person by dozen witnesses, but par
hcularly by Robert Caldwell of New
York, who testified at length and in
detail to this effect during the present
trial. Caldwell left London for New
York the middle of December. Upon
his arrival he was arrested at the re-
quest of the British authorities on a
charge of perjury. He is now i'll at his
home on Staten Island Should he be
brought to trial the evidence obtained
from the opening of the coffin would
do much to convict or clear him.
Herbert bruce opposed the opening
Of the grave on the ground that he
did not wish to desecTate his fathers

chose to make a claim to an estate he
Is not interested in, and who has put
forward a claim, he declares he knows
to be untrue He was obliged finally
however, by the popular demand to
put aside sentiment and consent to the
elimination for the purpose, as his ad-
visors say of once and for all putting
an end to the story for which Cald
we'll alone seems responsible, that
there was lead in the coffin.
