CLAIMS TITLE TO
SACKvILLE ESTATE
SON OF SPANISH DANCER DE-
MANDS RECOGNITION
Asks Court to Declare Him Oldest and
Legitimate Male Child of Fora
mer British Minister at
Washington
Associated Press1

LONDON, Feb. IA crowded court
room testified today to the public in
terest felt in the Sackville peerage ro-
nance, another chapter of which
opened before Sir John Bigham, presi-
dent of the probate court.
The petitioner in the suit is Ernest
Henry Sackville-West, who asks the
court to declare him the Oldest and
legitimate son of the late Lord Lionel
Sackville- West, British minister at
Washington from 1881 to 1888. If ne IS
successful he will acquire the title to
the estates now held by Lionel Sack
ville-West, a nephew of the diplomat,
and the present Lord Sackville, who
married his cousin, a sister of the pc
titioner. The present Lord Sackville
denies his uncle lawfully married Jo-
sefa Duran, the petitioners mother.
The court disallowed a similar claim
in 1903 Ernest is the son of Spanish
dancer, who married Lord Sackv1lle
in Madrid.
subsequently Sackville claimed the
woman had a husband living when she
formed an alliance with him, and the
one son and three daughters born
from their union have never been rec
ognized by the courts as having any
rights to the Sacl1ville title and es-
tates.
Sir Edward Clarke, in opening for
the petitioner. said he proposed to
prove the marriage by reputation and
the declarations of Lord Saclville him
self on documents attached to GER
tificates of birth and baptism of his
children.
Tries to Support Contention
In support of his contention Barris-
1tn a.
recognition at Washington of Lord
Sackville's daughters. He read vol
umes of documentary evidence taken
abroad regarding the life of Lord
Sackville and Josefa Duran at Ara
chon, France before they were known
as the Count and Countess West. Dep
ositions were submitted to establish
that the neighbors believed the two to
be married, though one deponent add
ed, "Bad-natured people said they
were unmarried"
Counsel laid stress on the fact that
some of the birth certificates of the
children and the death certificate or
Josefa Duran described the dancer as
the wife of Lionel Sackville-West.
Sir Robert Finley in reply recalled
and placed in evidence the testimony
given by Lord Sackville when a SINH
lar suit was brought during his life
time On that occasion the defendant
swore the declarations which he had
made regarding his companion We're
inspired solely by a desire to save the
reputation of the woman. He affirmed
that there had never been q. marriage
of any sort and that all the children
born to them We're illegitimate.
Sir Robert added he would prove the
Duran woman married Antonio de Ia
Olivia in 1851 and that OLIVIA did not
die until 1885, Accordingly, he said, IL
Lord Sackville had figured in any
marriage of which there was no evil
dence, such marriage must have been
illegal.

find out all they can about him ; they get
hold of family names, family origin, and
family characteristics. This information is
transmitted to the rascals in Spain, and
letters are at once written to the pros
pective victim. The scheme is presented
and developed in very plausible way
and many of Our fellow-countrymen have
'bitten" promptly and cheerfullY.
Under the Spanish laws a felony must
be consummated before the police may
act, and mere attempt TO obtain money
by false pretenses does not appear to
warrant arrest. The money must be ac-
tually paid over and the prosecuting wit
ness must be present in propria persona
TO testify; otherwise prosecution would
be useless.
Recently the letters written to the dis
tant relative have varied somewhat from
the original; the political prisoner having
become noted Russian banker who alb
seconded, leaving deficit of some mil
lions OF roubles, killed in a quarrel in
England another Russian, and finally took
refuge in Spain, where he was appre-
hended and charged with manslaughter.
This change of character, however, is
immaterial, and in the future more new
characters will probably be introduced
by the gang. The scheme is the same.
end the public is warned to place no Gre
dence in such or similar letters.
Every effort has been made by the De-
partment of State and its representatives
in Spain TO unmask these scoundrels and
bring them to justice, and the Spanish au-
thorities have also been active and sew
eral members of the gang have been ap-
pretended and held for trial, but so far
no convictions have resulted, owing
probably to the peculiarity OF the Spanish
law referred to in the report OF the Con-
sul-G General at Barcelona.

SchOolboys Must Be Good or Saw
Wood.

Principal A. c. Fay of the Bridgewater
Mass high school recently introduced
a new course in the high school for some
OF the boys who were bubbling over with
exuberance. He got saw and a saw
horse and cord OF hard oak and put
these into the basement. When the boys
began to transgreSs the rules the princi-
pal sent them downstairs TO saw wood.
The boys thought il was big joke at
first, but the punishment kept on, and
they were kept saving wood until their
backs cracked. They broke number OF
saws and sawed the sawhorse through.
But new ones took their places, and il
was soon found that the wood saving in
dustry had become recognized depart
ment in the curriculum in the Bridgewater
high school. The course in wood saw
ing did not prove popular at all, and of
late there has been little wood sawed
there. There is still plenty of hard wood
on hand in case of emergency. This
plan will make better citizens for the
small country towns and tend to keep the
country schools in firewood, thus saving
the expense of hiring man to chop it.
II is good example for all towns to fol-
low

WATCH YOURSELF GO BY.

Think Of yourself as he" instead OF T."
Note, closely as in other men you note,
The bag-k -kneed trousers and the seedy coat.
Pick flaws: find fault forget the man is you.
And strive to make your estimate ring true.
Confront yourself and look you in the eye
Just stand aside and watch yourself 90 by.
Interpret all your motives just as though
You looked on one whose aims you did not know.
Let undisguised contempt surge through you when
You see you shirk, o commonest OF men
Despise your cowardce condemn whate'er
You note OF falseness in you anywhere.
Defend not one defect that shames your eye
Just stand aside and watch yourself go by.
And then, with eyes unveiled TO what you loat1e-
To sins that with sweet charity you'd clothe-
Back TO your seli-walled tenements you'll 90
With tolerance for all who dwell below.

When you, with he as substitute for Il,

Do You Drink ?

1t has been growing harder and harder
for men who drink 10 get or keep jobs,
says The Delineator for January. One
after another the great railroads have post
ed notices warning employees OF instant
dismissal if they are known to drink.
Such a aruIe has more practical effectth than
a hundred temperance lectures. Frick's
great iron and steel works at Homestead
are under an absolute total abstinence re-
gime Marshall Field Co. enunciated a
rule which has been followed 10 less or
greater extent by other mercantile eStab-
lishmentS: We will not, to our knowl-
edge, place young man who drinks in
our business"
Many bank clerk has passeda very
humilating quarter OF an hour in the office
of some surety company, while learning
that because he was known to drink the
company would refuse to sign his bond un-
less he could furnish it acceptable securi-
ty. The u. s. Labor Department, using
percentages based on several thousand re-
ports, found 90 per cent of the railroads,
70 per cent of the manufacturers, So per
cent OF the trades and 72per cent OF the ag-
riculturists discriminate against drinking

An innovation was instituted last week
by the Government when for the first
time IN the history OF the country Uncle
Sam began the printing OF his own postal
cards. The work is to be done at the
Government Printing Office. Until all OF
the new presses are installed the issue
will be approximately 100000 day |;
afterward it will aggregate 3,5O0,0OO a
day. As soon as the special equipment
for printing has been established a new
card, to be known as the "index" or Ill
brary card, will be issued. This card
will be of an excellent quality OF paper
and of attractive design. The paper
used will not be quite so heavy as that
used in the present card, but it will be
more flexible and will take ink much bet
ter than the old yellow card.
