B OF RESPECT.

Castle Hall, Leflore Lodge No. 46,
Knights of Pythias:
On November 27, 1919, there died
at Meridian, Miss, where he had gone
for medical treatment, W. w. Mcneil,
a charter member of the lodge, who
by his advancement through the three
degrees of the order, was a knight
in good standing. Therefore be it re-
solved by this lodge that we deplore
the loss of this brave Knight, who
stood the test of the highest degree,
with that confidence in the Friend
ship of his brothers that proved his
bravery and gave an example worthy
to be followed by every esquire who
would wear the shield of Pythian chi
valry. Modest and u~nassuming in his
demeanor, but always fair and just
in his dealings with his fellowman.
we commend his career as a citizen
and a Knight to all as most worthy
Of commentator.
Resolved that these resolutions be
transcribed upon the records of this
Lodge and that a copy be given to his
family, and to the City papers fol
publication.
Signed:
S r.. COLEMAN,
A. McC. KIMBROUGH,
r. C. McBEE.

time to a fund for providing homes for
war widows and orphans. Captain Wemyss
happened to ask the aircraft workers to
give an entertainment for his fund and
then to his surprise he met Lady Caven-
dish-Bentinck, with whom he had a social
acquaintance before the war
They discovered that their hopes. tastes
and sympathies were surprisingly alike
and so, after many talks on patriotic sub
jects, they decided to be married as soon
as the war was over.
And what could be a more original scene
for the wedding than the weiri under
ground palace constructed by the fifth
duke? But perhaps the most interesting
feature of the whole wedding was the
attendance of six factory girls, invited by
Lady Victoria from among her fellow
workers. In one of the most stately palaces
of England, surrounded by the leading
titled society people of England, and sew
eral members of the royal family, these
factory girls certainly had the time of
their lives.

She informed her father and mother
alone of her plans and disappeared from
society.
One day King George was induced by
the Secretary of War to pay a visit to the
aircraft factory in recognition of its good
work for the army. His Majesty passed
along the line of women workers, dressed
in greasy Overalls, standing at their
benches. There, in the midst of them, he
was amazed to see Lady Victoria Caven-
dish-Bentinck, so well known to the royal
family, labOring hard with her hands.
The King congratulated the young aris-
tocrat on the fine patriotic spirit she dis
played.
The factory girls were not less surprised
than the King, for they only knew their
fellow worker as vic" Bentinck and had
no idea that she was a dukes daughter
After that exciting episode she went on
working as before until the end of the war.

5-Both the Duke and Druce suffered
from an unsightly skin disease.
"a few days before Druce's alleged
death he conveyed s5OO,OOO worth of prou-
erty to the Duke of Portland, and there is
no evidence that Druce received one penny
in consideration therefor.
Another strange feature Of the case
which the Investigations revealed was
that no doctor signed the death certificate
Of Thomas Charles Druce and that. there
fore, his burial was contraryko law.
This weird case was further complicated
by the arrival in England Of George Hol-
lamby Druce, carpenter. who was born
IN Australia and who claimed to be a
grandson OF Thomas Charles Druce by a
WlIe who preceded Annie May Berkeley
This man produced authen4c marriage
and birth certificates which established the
fact that if Thomas Charles Druce was
really the Duke of Portland he, George
Hollamby Druce, and not the sailor son of
Mrs. Druce had the prior claim to the
dukedom and estates.
So strong were the proofs produced by
this young man that a stock company was
formed to back him in his claim, a first
class lawyer was engaged and the result
was suit to recover the rents ollected
by the Portland estate since the death of
the fifth Duke, amounting to about 81, ,5OO-
600 year; also to recover the estates
themselves in London alone which are
worth about $50 900 900 and which embrace
the greater part Of Regent street, Caven-
dish square, Great Portland street Port
land place and other pieces Of the finest
property in London.
Another suit was brought in the House
Of Lords to establish Druce's claim to the
mantle and coronet of the Dyke of Port
land.
The Druce grave was finally opened and
found to contain body and not a roll of
lead, as stated. The courts decided there
was not sufficient evidence to sustain the
various claims against the Duke Of Port
land and dismissed them. Nevertheless it
was generally admitted that there were
many inexplicable circumstances in the
lives both Of the Duke and Druce which
the courts did not investigate.
The mysterious old fifth duke died with
out recognized children in 1879 and was
succeeded by his distant cousin, the pres
ent duke, who was then a young army
onicer OF small means and is now the
father OF the patriotic Lady Victoria Ben
timex. The present duke has kept the
underground resorts Of his predecessor in
use and repair, while discarding his
peculiar practices.

beck Abbey, he possesses five other great

100000 acres.
The Dukes wealth has been estimated
at $2OO,OO0,000. 1t may be judged that his
only daughter was a great attraction in
the social world.
1t was early in the war that Lady Vic
tor1a CaVendish Bentinck realized how
desperate was the need of workers to help
win the great struggle. Every able-bodied
man released from work at home meant
another soldier at the front. Lady Vic
toria determined to release a soldier.
She was Srong, good at sports, an adept

of that kind. Dropping her

In WeIbeck Abbey

Mrs. Druce brought suit to have the
tomb opened. This was opposed by the
owner Of the tomb, Herbert Druce, a son
born to Thomas Charles Druce, before his
marriage. Under the British law no tomb
may be opened without its owners con-
sent. The suit dragged along, the illegiti-
mate Druce fighting it tooth and nail
In the course of the investigation how
ever, some amazing facts came to light
In the first place, it came out that the
woman whom Thomas Charles Druce had
married in 1851 was Annie May, illegiti-
mate daughter of the Earl of Berkeley, and
who many years before this had been the
subject of a bitter feud between the fifth
Duke of Portland, then Marquis of Titch-
field, and his brother. Lord George Ben
timex. This quarrel reached it's climax in
1S48, when Lord George was found dead
near Welbeck Abbey it was said, of a
spasm of the heart but others said Of a
blow inflicted in a moment of passion by
his brother, the Marquis of Titchfeld
This coincidence was remarkable, to
say the least of it, but it was nothing in
comparison with the condolences that
arose the fun ther the extraordinary case
was probed. These may be summarized
as follows:
IA strong personal resemblance be-
tween the fifth Duke and Thomas Charles
Druce.
Both the Duke and Druce wore
strange wigs, hat two feet high. trousers
tied with string below the knees.
3-The Duke had a mania for digging
subterranean passages, rooms, conserVa-
tories, tunnels and was in the habit of
disappearing for days and weeks at a
time. From Druce's shop subterranean
tunnels led in all sorts of mysterious dt-
rections; he, too, was accustomed to dis
appear for days and weeks at a time and
suddenly reappear in the shop without
having been seen to enter the door.
4-The Duke hated to be seen and
rarely consented to receive a visitor;
Druce rarely received a caller and was
always agftated if any noble or royal per
sonage entered his shop, and when any

The Charming War Romance of
the Duke Of Portland's Only
Daughter Who Worked In
Disguise In Munitions Factory
and Invited the Astonished
Factory Girls to Her
Great Wedding

- NE Of the most charming war ro-
mances of the day has just hap
pened in English society.
Lady Victoria Alexandria Cavendish-
Bentinck, only daughter Of the Duke of
Portland, has become the bride of Captain
Michael John Wemyss, Of the Royal Horse
Guards.
They fell in love when she was working
in munitions factory and he was a
wounded officer.
The marriage has many features that
make it unusually interesting to all lovers
Of romance. The bride, who is the only
daughter Of the richest Duke in England
was perhaps the most daring and energetic
Of the titled and wealthy women war
workers Of England who threw themselves
into the task Of producing munitions when
men were sOrely lacking and thereby
GREATLY helned tn win the war
The Washington times., 1919-02-02

An incidental point of in
terest connected with the
match is that the bride is
collaterally descended from
that amazing old character,
the fifth Duke of Portland,
who built endless under
ground halls and tunnels,
whose life sounds stranger
than any novel and who
was alleged to have led a
mysterious double existence
with the help Of his under
ground constructions.
Her relationship to this
singular character was en-
phasized when the wedding
was held in the beautiful
chapel that was one of the
Old Dukes many under
ground creations.
In a war romance even
the bridegroom is a person
