GOSSIP OF THE COURTS
BY

Baroness Vaughan, who, as I have
told recently, has come out a victor
from the divorce court, has recovered
the tutelage Of her two boys. aged
seven and five but being-in law only
the sons of her ex-husband, NJ.
Durrieux. they must continue 10 bear
bis name until they become of age.
when they viii be permitted to as
sumo their mothers name, Delacroix,
unless the Belgian titles bestowed
upon them by their late father, King
Leopold III, will be acknowledged as
lawful by the French Ministry of
Justice.
The Baroness also RECEIVERS her
fortune, about half a million francs,
which she settled on NJ. Durrieux,
when she married him. AS regards
the property which King Leopold be-
slowed upon his two boys, it would
take a shrewd lawyer to tell any
thing about it. The baroness agreed
to the formal recognition of her sons
by Durrieux on the morning of her
wedding in Arroncourt at the May
or's Office. This led to a change in
the records of their births at villa
franca and Montlhery. There they
were booked as her sons, and the
word "pere absent" substituted for
"pere incOnnu." Not that the King
was absent. He was with the baro-
hess. But he had not yet made up
his mind fully as to the status they
were to have eventually, beyond
securing to them large fortunes and
titles that indicated ulterior ascent
to a royal standing.
Both were of Ducal rank. Duke
van Teroueren stood next to Brabant
and was derived from the palace of
| Teroueren, near Brussels, where the
late Queen Henriette Marie resided
before its destruction by fire. While
on the subject Of these titles I may
as well state what is not known gen
orally. that Baroness Vaughan's eldest
boy, after the Kings gift Of the Con-
60 state to Belgium, might. and pro-
badly would. have been advanced "a
apparent heirship but for his defec-
tive hand on which thumb and fore.
finger are missing, a scrofulous af-
fection.
The second son received the title
of Baron de Ravenstein q diminutive
of Leopold's Cohurg title of Count de
Ravensten that he used to assume
when travelling abroad The escut-
cheon of the one bears sable au chef
dargent. charge de deux losanges
gueules." That of the other being Of
Saxe-Coburg origin, the Duke of
Coburg's consent. was bought by the
wealthy endowment OF "la fondation
pour assurer Ia preservation des
heaux sites du Duche de Cobourg
The coat-of-arms answering TO the
Ravensteln title bears: "D'argent, un
corbeau sable au vol leve."
There is no bar sinister on either

with a strangling stammer. The

to do with the revolution of 1S4S.

Cardinal Tripepi died at Rome. leav-
a great fortune to the Pontif, Plus
! X, or TO his eventual successor.
The heirs of the Cardinal, defying
the papal communication against
all those who cite ecclesiastics before
civil tribunals, claimed that the terms
of the will indicated, not a personal
| gift to the Pontiff, but to the Holy
See, which, in the eyes of the law of
Italy. is a moral corporation. and
therefore is obliged to seek and obtain
lroyal authorization, through the coun-
lcil OF the State, in order to enjoy any
inheritance.
This contention the Roman court
upheld. Thereupon Plus X. while try
ing to effect a private compromise
lodged an appeal, which has result
eG in a confirmation of the verdict OF
1 the lower tribunal.
Cardinal Tripepis heirs, flushed
hwith their victory, are taking advan-
tage Of the inability of the Vatican
owing to its claim to civil sovereignty
to invoke the consent of the state, and
lare insisting upon restitution Of the
leniire fortune, amounting to several
million lire.

A point of some interest to archae-
ologists in connection with these dis
cOveries is tho existence in the sea
at some distance from Cape Kephali
Of a rock resembling a sailing ship
which is still known as Karavi-
(CaraveD D-"the vessel" This rock
is mentioned by the ancient geograp-
hers. Strabo and Ptolemy. as Ulysses
vessel turned to stone.
When, in 1911, the French Duchess
de la Rocat-Guyon died, her eldest
son had her remains inferred tenn
porarily in a private vault in the viii
lage cemetery. intending to have a
memorial mausoleum erected there
later for the repose of her body.
But il transpired that for genera
tions all members of that famly-de-
scendants of the Duke de la Roche
foucauld-have been inferred in
vaults in the chapel Of the ancestral
castle. For this reason the second
son of the late Duchess applied TO
the courts that his mothers coffin
should be transferred to the family
chapel.
The court ordered an investigation
with a view to ascertaining what
would have been the Duchess own
wishes. with the result that a letter
was found. written by her in 1879
after the demise of her son Mathieu
expressing her aversion to the idea
Of being buried in the chapel. She
maintained that it was barbarous to
have a family cemetery in a dwelling
place, even though that dwelling
might be an ancestral castle. Con-
sequently, the court forbade the re-
moval of her body from the ceme-
tery where the mausoleum for her
now will be erected.

Buster Brown smiles at lis again
in the coIored comic section Of The
pittsburg Gazette Times. and we
laugh right back at him and with
him. Buster is the brightest and
most amusing American boy who
ever played harmless pranks in the
pages Of a newspaper. We have
missed him for long time. His
return to us is one Of the happiest
events of recent journalistic history.
Now we have q good laugh every
Sunday when our Gazette Times ar
rives.

he could retire from the comic
game" but he could not. Not only
that, he comes back to it better than
ever. Buster Brown never before
was so funny. He is our old friend
but more mirth-provoking than when
we last saw him.
Buster rounds out the lot of good

uncertainty as to the exact outcom
of the game which is between West
Virginia Wesleyan college holders of
the honor of champions of West Vtr-

at Clarksburg's big Union park and

parties from almost every town and
city Of the state are making arrange

The unexpected should happen there
would undoubtedly be great excite

While there are few II any who think
that Wesleyan will win the game
there are any number Of supporters
of the Wesleyan team in West Vir-
ginia who think that Wesleyan
should score and have this firmly
fixed in their minds. Several Of the
Wesleyan players saw the W. Il d.
