among other things for Ito 1nyster
ious sealed chamber reputed to hold
a secret which has never been re-

disclosed only to the heir of each sue

in the family.
The present earl's ancestor, upon
which the baronetcy was conferred in

The English residence of the Earl

in English public life, although he is
well known socially.

The second includes the revelations
of corruption of prohibition officers

The league has shown that the pro-

were in many cases purely political
in nature and were, therefore, infer

these be placed under civil service
regulations both on the ground of
economy and Improvement and the

How far the state association will

Through the efforts of the associa-
