WILL CLAIM EARL'S TITLE
Australia Saye He Is RightfuI
Lindsay.

londonderry James Hamilton
Bethune Lindsay is tired of Australian
life and is determined to return to
Scotland, whence he disappeared half
a century ago, having all that time
been regarded as dead, and claim the
ancient title which he declares he
missed on the death of his elder
brother the tenth earl of Lindsay,
now held by his cousin, David-Clark
Bethune.
The claimant certainly has all the
names of the man supposed to have
died at Marseilles in 1862, but he as
serts that he did not die. He was dis
appointed in love affair and sick at
heart at the manner in which he was
treated by his family over it, he
emigrated to Australia and buried his
identity in Cannawigra, where ulti-
mately he became overseer of a ranch
While there he received copy of a
paper containing a portrait of the
tenth earl.
About the same time" said Mr..
Lindsay, "a gentleman named Hayes
visited Australia to find me, it hav-
ing become known to my family that
| did not die at Marseilles. My iden-
tity was unknown to Hayes, but l met
him several times, and learned from
him first hand about his quest. In
quiries were also made about me in
the paper, but 1 took no notice of the
efforts to find me, and moved from one
part of Australia to another"
He lived later lonely life in Gipps-
land, his only companions being a
dozen cats. The loneliness being too
much for him, he went to Melbourne,
where he lived at a boarding house,
and married one of the dodgers there.

eral Party in Australia by Big Ma
jority Over Sir John Forrest.

Melbourne.-Joseph Cook has been
elected leader Of the liberal party in
Australia, with substantial majority
over Sir John Forrest and Mr.. IT.
vine at the federal liberal caucus.
Mr.. Deakin's resignation was ac-
cepted with profound expressions of
regret and acknowledgements of his
great services to Australia and the
empire. The party gladly accepted
the ex-leared's offer to assist in the ref
erendum platform campaign, for the
reason that, although the protection
lists are disappointed at Sir John For
rests defeat, no third party can be
formed at the present jHcture. The
labor party anticipates that Mr..
Cooks selection improves the chances
Of capturing seats in Victoria and
South Australia.
Mr. Cook was at one time a work
ing miner. He was born at Silverdale,
Staffordshire, England, in 1860, and
when twenty-five years of age emf
grated to Australia, and obtained work
in the Lithgow coal1elds. Two years
later he was appointed general secre-
tary of the Miners association and
was returned to the New South Wales
parliament as labor member in 1891

Be Not MisIed.

This article is suggested by the
well planned, determined and per-
sistent efforts of the Traction Com
pany to secure the endorsements OF
the proposed extension OF It's iran
chises by the several organizations
in this city.
IT is evident that the purpose OF
these endorsements secured by u
minority of the membership OF such
organizations, is to influence the
voters when an election is called al
which there will be submitted the
purpose of this corporation.
We have persisted in the reltera-
ton that such endorsements as have
been obtained could not and will not
bind those who have not given their
approval to such endorsement, and
we may say in all eandor that such
proceeding is arousing an opposl-
ton which should not be underesl-
mated.
There are many good citizens in
Shreveport who have been inclined
to the Traction Company who re-
sent such endorsements as an intent
to force an issue on the people
which they may determine to defeat
Why should the Traction Com
pany seek these endorsements if its
proposals being sufficiently reason
able and liberal and practicable,
would appeal to the voters on their
own merits and not on the approval
of few men, the direct friends OF
this corporation.

CATION behind the church door one

promptly convened In extraordinary

charge of unbecoming and unpastoral
conduct.
The accused was at no loss for de-
Tense. He stated-and proved his
claim by the Scriptures-that pastor
was shepherd and the members of
the congregation were his sheep. Even
the apostles were often depicted as
