NOTED LONDON CASE 0F b|GAMY

London. July 22.--In sentencing George William Lucid, alias Leslie, Moran and Lay to seven years, penal servitude for bigamy and heartless frauds on large number of women, Judge Rentoul of the Old Bailey the other day declared: T think the earth never contained more infamous scoundrel than you.''
 A clerical looking, plausible man of 39, Lucid. through matrimonial advertise ments became acquainted with many women from whom he received sums marry them. In his rooms were found no fawer than 27OO letters from more than 70 different women. At one time he was sending love letters interlaced with ap- peals for money to 30 women.
 Born in Tipperary. the son of a farmer in good circumstances, he was educated for the civil service. but at the age of 19 he enlisted In the Royal Irish Rifles and rose to the rank of color sergeant. In 1891 he was reduced to the ranks for em- bezzlement and some time afterward he was sentenced to seven years penal servitude for theft, the blame for which he threw on his fellow soldiers.
 When he was released he had many op- portunities of regaining his character, but he embedded $500 belonging to one em- ployer, ruined Roman Catholic Sailors home at Plymouth, and began his career as a vampire.
 His first wife died in 1896, and between that year and 1906 he obtained 5000 from ten different women. He married Kate Ramsan in 1906. but deserted her after obtaining $75G0 from her. In 1907 he com mitted bigamy with a woman of means at Bristol, and in 1909 he committed bigamy with Ethel Selfo in London, all this time he was writing love letters to dozens of women and he continued his cases of fraud unchecked until he was arrested recently

Geneva. July 22.-(Special.D& D&Proba- bly, the first case of the kind ever hea I'd came before the legal courts of Neu- chatel Switzerland. when a tradesman brought an action against a detective agency, which, he alleged, had recom- mended him to a bad husband for his daughter To find out the character and reputation of young man who had asked for his daughters hand, the tradesman applied to a local private detective agency. and on receiving fa- vorable information he consented to the marriage, and gave his daughter $2O0O as dowry. The young man, who, in reality. had a bad reputation, spent the 5000 in dissipation and neglected and finally deserted his wife, who returned to her home.
 The tradesman now came to court to recover the S2000, alleging negligence and misrepresentation. He won his case,

 If has been A source of some specula- tion as to why they followed the corona tion so closely with the progress to Ire land and Scotland which have just been happilv concluded. I have been informed from sources near the court that the reason was that his majesty wished to have August and September entirely free from public engagements.
 Their majesties will be at Cowes rom Saturday. July %. until August y U. w' when they are to leave the Isle of Wight. The king will go to Yorkshire on visit to the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire at the Hall, Bolton Abbey. where ne IS to stay for a week for grouse shooting over the upper Wharfedale moors. The Queen and the royal children will go to Balmoral, and they will be joined there by the King about August 26

King George has had two gold keys balanced to per- lection as paper weights. It is not gen. erally known that few of their majes- ties wedding presents are still stored in a great warehouse. These articles are of the white elephant order. but as they were presented by patriotic institu- tions with the best intentions the royal recipients have never liked to part with them. No doubt space may be found for them in one of the palaces.
 The King and Queen made collection of the autographs of their foreign coro- nation guests. For several days this week a royal messenger waited upon the various foreign envoys with an album. accompanied by a note to the effect that the king and queen would be pleased to have the autographs of the guests from abroad.

Dublin, July 22.--(Special.)-P Placards calling on young men not to join the army, navy or police were found posted up in Stewartstown the other morning They stated that if there were no army and navy there would be no British government to suppress them. and that a weak government would not be able to maintain the union. that there would be no army and navy if the Iirsh did not enlist. and that without the Irish, England would have been beaten by Napoleon a hundred years ago and by the Boers yesterday" The police re- moved the posters.

in this respect are agreed that the au- trOrties have been duly discreet, dplo-
 matte, and learned but one princely per sonage was inclined for time to give trouble Many persons. however, are say
 ing that the rules of precedence require bringing more up to date. It Is rather absurd that the representative of so pow erful a nation as the United States should have to take back seat to the royal representative of some petty king or principaity, which may perhaps be smaller than the smallest states of the union.
 The Duke of Argyll, now a Knight of
 the Garter, is one of the few men who
 hold the Orders both of the Garter and
 Thistle; and he also affords one of the
 rare examples of a man who became q
 Knight of the Thistle when in the eye
 of the law commoner, that is to say
 in the lifetime of his father, the late
 Duke of Argyll. He is fair haired, small
 featured. and distinguished, like all the
 Campbells, and is good combination
 of poet, writer and philosopher. He likes
 outdoor life, but is not much of sports
 man, although he declares that golf Is
 a moral education. He shoots we'll, and
 is clever cyclst, but cares nothing
 for the turf, and is never seen at race
 meetings The sway of the Campbells of
 Argyll is still feudal-they are kings, not
 landlords or employers to their tenants
 and retainers, and the present duke

Few know that Andrew Carnegie is a connosseur of teapots and posses one of the largest and most valuable and inter- esting collections in the world. No tea pot is too small or ugly to be added to his collection if Is distinctive in some way, either for its peculiar make. it's form. or decoration, and many of them are the subject of romantic story or legend From the land of the rising sun some of them have been brought to America, where they were found by their collector. while others were sought in out-of-the-way places of Europe and the Orient.
 The Carnegie collection of teapots in- eludes over 100 pieces, many of them having been among the chief treasures of noble Japanese families. Side by side with the Japanese teapots are others from China, distinguished chiefly by their rich glaze and floral decorations. Chinese pocelains have always attracted artists and collectors of things artistic, and the little teapots in MT. Carnegies collection show some of the peculiar Chinese forms of decoration, grotesque figures and pleasing floral designs, Nearly all are of white porcelain ornamented in color, some of the famous cobalt blue.
