Conservation of Beauty.


From the New York Tribune.
The county council Of Hants, England,
is a body not particularly known to CO.
temporary fame. yet 1t is entitled to a
degree Of grateful recognition and may
prove to have established itself in the
honorable remembrance of the world.
That Is because 1t has set q precedent
for the protection of beautiful natural
scenery from spoliation for sordid pur-
poses, on the whole the most advanced
and effective Of which We have knOwl-
edge Hants is by no means the su-
premely scenic county Of England, though
1T contains many spots of rare beauty;
but its governing body does not mean to
have II disfgured, and accordingly 1t has
taken strenuous action under the adver-
tisement regulations act. which was
passed four years ago, and which many
have supposed to be a dead letter.
The law authorizes local bodies to for
bid the erection Of advertising boardings
where they. will disfigure fine scenery,
and It has been held that a-local author
ity must specify the precise places and
areas which are thus to be protected.

nation one should be able to get through

it necessary to stay at. home, and thus
avoid all possible dangers. Even the

to fall upon such excessively cautious
people seeking safety in secIusion. Prob
ably the best thing to do is to forget the
calendar and go about the ordinary bust

Bankruptcies as Society Events.

Accompanying the announcement OF the
failure Of a fashionable milliner in New
York comes a list Of the famous society
and theatrical people whose slovness in
paving their bills was responsible for the
catastrophe. These. lists are growing
quite common these days-in fact are
being generally recognized as giving a
news value and a human interest to fail
ures which they would otherwise lack.
We might almost say, In view Of. the
fact that the names of SO many well
known social and theatrical favorites
are appended from time to time to the
notices of the bankruptcy OF photog-
raphers. milliners, jewellers and fash
ionable shops generally. that failure Of
this kind is almost q society event. At
least. 1t has a distinctly society air.

ly on the sensational charge of
having murdered his mother, Mrs.
Nancy Carter. The victim was
fifty years old, and her body was

Supreme Court Decides Against
yir0inia Grants.

By a recent decision of the Su-
preme Court Of the United States
against the Eastern Kentucky
Coal Land Corporation and the
Kentucky Union Company, the
titles to thousands of acres of val
liable timber and mineral lands IN
Eastern Kentucky is affected, and
law passed by the Kentucky
Legislature in 1906, establishing
no to vast bodies of land -
NiI,iC-N.
The property in question was
claimed by the corporation named
under the so called old Virginia
lard grants. Following the Revo-
lutionary War, the Commonweal''
of Virginia made sundry and
rious grants of land in what later
became the State of Kentucky.
Many pioneers, not knowing of
these grants, settled on the lands
in question. and ever since there
has been waged conflict between
the claimants of the land.
la 1906 the State of Kentucky
passed law providing that the
title to lands on which the taxes
had not been paid for three years.
and which was not listed for tax
alton before 1907, should be for
feited to those who had paid the
taxes on the land.
Under this act the titles Of the
Two land companies to more than
half million acres of land was
declared forfeited. The constitu.
tional.ty of this act was upheld.
This is a great victory for j. &.
G. Mayo and his associates.
