LONDON. Sept. 9.-Earl Russell
has received the Kings pardon for
committing blgamy. 1t is true that
ten years ago he was sentenced to
three months imprisonment, and
served his term. but It Is probably
some satisfaction to him 10 know that
he has been pardoned after all these
years. The official announcement is
printed In the records OF the House
OF Lords. and Is to the effect that
"The Clerk Of the Parliaments has re.
ceived from the Secretary OF State for
the Home Department, in original.
the gfree pardon which has been
granted to John Francis Stanley, Earl
Russell, Stnirespect Of a conviction OF
felony recorded against hin Iinsl9O1.'' =
Y The pardon Is Interesting sas intl,
'matihg that the noble earl can now
consider himself aSperson of unblem.
ished character and accordingly en-,
titled to take his seat and share In
the debates OF the House OF Lords. AS
a matter OF fact he has been doing 80
for some time. but as he has develop.
ed into very useful politician. and
what is more important, a Liberal
politician. 1t was thought better to ap.
ply the official coat Of whitewash.
1t is eleven years since Russell
went to Nevada, and secured al,
vorce from the Countess, formerly
Lady Mabel Scott. 1t was said that
there was too much motller.in.law
about the Russell household, anyway
the couple. and mother.in.law. were
always in the courts. Russell having
secured his divorce. proceeded to mar.
ryangain,-a lady named Molly Cook,
but whether he knew 1t atGthe time
or not Nevada divorces don't run in
England, and the earl found himself
grabbed for blgamy, on returning to
England. ..st;ti 80, +
Then came the historic trial in
Westminster Hall. Peers can't be
grabbed BY common policemen. i and
hauled of to the. police court, like or.
binary, people. and Russell claimed
his right-to be tried by his peers.
Accordingly he was tried by the Lord
Chancellor and this Law Lords. with
the whole House of Lords as jurymen.
He was found guilty. but In consider.

It is section of a basswood tree cut on the Montreal |river, tributary to Ashland, which con- tains the blade of an ax, supposed to have been owned by an early explorer or French voyageur.
