Possessed of enormous wealth. the head of one of the most powerful families In Great Britain, the holder of title that at once marks him out as probably the most important man in Ireland. close friend of tho King and vhe trusted ad- wiser and intimate of many of tho great est mobiles of England, the Marquis of Londonderry is the power that pulls the strings of the puppets in the north of Ireland. When 1t comes to show down" in this amazing drama of Ulster 1t Is with this man, and not with Sir Edward Carpon, that the government will have to reckon.
 But for all that the Marquis of Ion- donderry would be the last to admit his power. Fer nc is one of those silent men who hardly realine their tremendous influence. For years he and his wife and family have patronised Sir Edward Car son.
