Spanish Veteran Wants Share.

Governor Donaghey has received a
requisition from Jerome l.. Tindall
of Stuttgart for his pro rata of the
Spanish war fund for service in the

Last of Trentham Hall.

One of the finest country homes in
England is soon to fall into the hands
of the house wrecker. This is the
famous Trentham hall, seat of the
duke of Sutherland, which has been
made uninhabitable by the sewage
from adjacent pottery towns, which
has been emptied into the river Trent,
once the great ornament of the park.
The library and the works of art have
been disposed of, and now the house
is to be dismantled and the estate
sold. Trentham hall stands on the
site of nunnery which was in ex-
istence in King Alfred's time. 1t was
succeeded by an Augustinian priory,
which again formed part of the old
hall, which passed into the hands OF
Henry VIII at the time of the disso-
luton. The king presented it to
Charles Brandon, duke of Suffolk who
had married his sister, and the house
