Beatrice Mills to Wed a British Earl

The earl has received the congratu- lations of the king and queen of Eng land upon his engagement He is favorite of both and bears the title of royal master of the horse As the wife of the master of the horse, the future countess of Granard will have the privilege of riding in the royal carriages, but under a recent order only the members of her own family may accompany her on these oc- casions.
 It Is expected that the marriage will take place in this city in the near future. It probably will be a home affair, as there is a difference of re- ligious faith between the bride and bridegroom-elect
 The earl of Granard is the eighth of his line. He sits as Baron Granard in the house of lords. He is in his thir ty-fourth year and one of the youngest peers. In politics he is liberal. In religion he is Roman Catholic and has been the first peer of that faith to receive a court appointment in % years.

NEW YORK.-Miss Marjorie Gould, " daughter of George Gould, and granddaughter of Jay Gould, made her public debut in the social world the other evening when she appeared at the opening performance of the season at the Metropolitan opera house.
 Miss Marjorie Gould, first of this third generation of Goulds to be brought out, is IS years old. She need ed not the magic of her fathers mil lions; her beauty alone would have gained her entrance anywhere for she is one of the handsomest girls that have ever entered the portals of New York's innermost circle.
 She is more than a society chatter box. She can talk about things that mean much. She has her own ideas not somebody else's, but her own. She has read, and read we'll There are those who declare that she has inherit ed the masterful mind of her grandfa- ther. She is little different from the average debutante, despite her handi- cap of money and good looks.

Mrs. Sage Grows a Noble Family Tree

of Salisbury, with the progenitor of those families, Drogo de Monte, who fought, under Robert, earl of Moreton, during the Norman conquest.
 In the first pages of the book is outlined the career of Russell Sage as statesman, financier and merchant. Mir. Sage descended from the found CTS of the old Connecticut colony It is through the wife of one of these Connecticut ancestors, Amos Sage, that the financier was descended from the Montagus and noble line. Battle Ab- bey was the home of a direct ancestor of Mrs. Amos Sage.
 One of the most singular and strik ing facts of the entire record is that the descendancy of MT Sage has been traced to the old family of Josselyn, which in turn formed the ancestry of Mrs. Sage. Josselyn de Bee built the beautiful castle of the same name, the remains of which are standing to this day Battle Abbey is now occupied by Michael P. Grace of this city, and is owned by Sir Augustus Webster.
 Through Alexander Standish, son of Miles, who married the daughter of John Alden, Mrs. Sage is a descendant of the doughty Capt. Miles Standish who in turn was the direct ancestor of Olivin Standish Josselyn, who was the wife of William Slocum.

4 N INTERESTING genealogical rec "A ord of the ancestors of Mrs. Rus sell Sage has been published and with in few days will be distributed among Mrs. Sage's friends. It is the work of William H. Wittemore, an ex- pert genealogist, whose compilation and study of the Sage family tree has occupied more than a year.
 It has been found that Mrs. Sage, whose family name is Slocum, is de- seended from an illustrious house of Montagu, famous in English his torical annals; that one of her aTces- tors fought with William the Con- queror, and that the lineage of her late husband was also very high, and dates back to about the same period as her own.
 Of further qualification to Mrs. Sage is the fact that it was discovered that she is connected, through the dukes of Manchester and Sandwich, Lady Mary Wortley Montague and the earl

H HINATOWN, the home of the tongs,. N whose bitter feuds in years gone by kept the criminal courts and the hospitals busy, is going out of bnsi- ness. It is being deserted by the. Chinese, and in few months, if the, present rate of exodus keeps up, th<le will be but very few Mongolians ldl within it's precincts.
 Many reasons are ascribed for the general moving of the celestials from the famous old bailiwick. The mer- chants and leaders say the exclusion law is responsible. Others say that the business depression has scared the Chinamen who have made money, and they are going back to China to live in luxury and ease.
 The public officials say their activi- ty in suppressing the gambling dens in the district is responsible for the de- parture of many of it's old habitues, who lived on the money they extracted from their countrymen through games of chance.

Marjorie Gould Makes Debut in Society

She isn't as anxious to know about the latest mode in sleeves or the new est idea for cotillon favors as she is to know what is going on about her. The election interested her; the latest flight of the aeroplane of the Wrights; the trouble into which the kaiser plunged himself when he talked too ofreely-up-to-date subjects such as these hold the uppermost place in her mind
 But Marjorie Gould is no blue stock ing; she likes fun and dancing and the theater and everything else so dear to the heart of any normal young girl just trying out the new ice of her first appearance. Out-of-door sport claims her first of all She can ride like the wind; she drives a pair of horses with all the skill of profes- sional; she plays a good game of golf, and she can handle a tennis racquet with the best of her girl friends Skat- ing is her hobby.
 Miss Gould's education has been carefully attended to, of course. In fact, her father and mother insisted that her girlhood be spent over her books, and not in getting into her head any early ideas about society. Languages have always been her ia vorite study. She speaks French and German fiuently, and understands Ital- ian and Spanish.

The neighboring fisheries are important.
 Tn respect of the property damage inflicted and the number of lives ex- tinguished, as we'll as in respect of the extent of the disturbance, the earth quake far eclipses the great disasters of it's type, such as that which de- stroyed Lisbon in 1755 and that which visited the western coast of South America in August, 1906.
 Region Always in Turmoil.
 Probably no part of the earth of equal fertility. population and historic note has suffered more severely from earthquakes and volcanic eruptions than this part of the Mediterranean basin. From the beginnings of record ed history Stromboli has seldom been quiet. Vesuvius has been frequently in eruption, and Etna is always growing and periodically is in violent action.
 With or without eruptions from these volcanoes the region has felt disastrous earthquakes in almost every century since history began to be written. The eruption of Vesuvius which overwhelmed Pompeii and Her culaneum in 79 A. D. is most spoken of because of the relics of antiquity which it so strangely preserved, but within the last eight centuries there have been many earthquakes there abouts which caused great loss of life and property
 For instance, Catania, which is again visited, is said to have lost 15,000 peo- pie by earthquake in 1127 and to have been wholly destroyed, with loss of 5000 lives, in September. 1893. By this earthquake 54 Sicisian cities and towns and 300 villages were reported wrecked. vitIa total loss of 100000 Ewes.

THE announcement of the engage ! ment of Bernard Arthur William Patrick Hastings Forbes, eighth earl of Granard, and Miss Beatrice Mills, the daughter of Ogden Mills and grand daughter of D. O. Mills, which was cabled from London recently, has been confirmed by members of the Mills family.
 The news was somewhat surprising, though it had been discussed as early as September, when the earl came over with Mrs. Ogden Mills and her daughter from Europe and was their guest et Newport and again at Staats- burg at the Livingston mansion, the home of the maternal ancestors of the future countess.

Hard Times Force Millennium.


 The panic in October, 1907. caused immediately a very heavy fall in the traffic and gross earnings of the rail roads of the United States Many lines were reduced over night, as it were, from prosperity to the danger of bank ruptcy. In this emergency the man. agements turned to the employees for help. The employees, out of a sense of loyalty, as well as for their own pro- tectiou. were glad to give it. The story of the way vice-presidents, general managers and superintendents, con ductors, enginemen and engine wipers labored shoulder to shoulder during the past year to keep railroad ex- penses below railroad earnings is an interesting and picturesque chapter in the history of American railroad trans portation, declares Technical World Magazine.

Apropos of the centenary habit" it has recently been suggested that in stead of celebrating the year of a man's birth or death, we commemorate fhe date of his great achievement-as in the case of Tennyson, that of the publication of Tn Memoriam." Of course the difficulty in the way is that people seldom agree on the achieve ment; and generally it is safer to com memorate events that took in many men Nobody has ever questioned, for example, that it is worth while to cele- brate the Fourth Of July.

rica, Australia, Russia, Siberia, Scan, dinavia and Canada. AS a rule, where earthquakes are most frequent they are most severe. But to this general statement there are exceptions, In, dian shocks, though less numerous, be, ing often very disastrous. Loss of life in many cases depends, however, on the intensity of the earth movement Numerically, also, France has regis. tered more seismic tremors than Spain and Portugal, but France in historic times has experienced no earthquake disaster approaching the havoc wrought by the one calamity at Lis. bon.
 Ancient and Modern Times.
 Perhaps the most striking difference between the antique and the modern worlds appears in their differences of social and governmental attitude to- ward such disasters. We really know more, thanks to the Younger Plinys account of his uncle's death, about the destruction of Pompeii and Hercula- neum and what was done about it than we know of any similar disaster for 1000 years afterwards
 The elder Pliny was man of science. who happened tn be in com mand of the naval station near Naples. He got out a vessel and went as near as he could to the lava flow to observe it-so near that he was suffocated by the fumes. Incidentally he picked up some fugitives from the water and along the beach. His nephew records that as an evidence of his humanity But he does not appear to have thought of exerting his large official powers for relief of suffering. He went to his death not to aid distress but to add to his own knowledge.
 To-day any public official who did not exert himself to the utmost to re- lieye distress would be forever dis graced That is the difference between Christian civilization, with all it's faults, and one which, witb all lits merits, was not Christian.

The member of the German reich stag who declared that one of the high officials of the government had received his appointment at the hands of the emperor because he-the ap- p0intee-was good pig raiser, will probably not be perverse enough to deny that good pig raiser is all right in his place
