Lord Ches- ham was killed near Daven the other afternoon, while out with the Pytehley hounds. His lordship was thrown, and his neck broken the fall. Lord Chesham, who was hunt- ing from Boughton Hall, which he had taken for the season, was thrown at a fence one and a half miles from Daventry. His horse turned a somer- sault in leaping, and Lord Chesham was pitched on to his head, his neck being dislocated by the violence of his fall. Lord Chesham was one of the welter-weights of the Pytchley Hunt. Naturally his tragic end oc- casioned great regret in many circles, especially among sportsmen. A graphic story of the accident was told at the inquest on Lord Chesham, which was held in the library of Hold- enby House, the seat of Lord Annaly, master of the Pytchley Hunt. The coroner, in opening the proceedings, said all would sympathize with Lady Chesham, who had lost first her daughter by a riding accident, then her eldest son in the Boer war, and now her husband. Lord Chesham would be missed by many people, from the members of the royal family t> the workmen on his estate, to whom he was most kind. Capt. Beat- ty, of Kebworth Grange, Leicester- | shire, said that he had known Lord | Chesham all his life, and at the | time of the accident he was riding behind him with the Pytchley. While the hounds were in full cry Lord Chesham's horse, in going for a fence, appeared to get his forelegs under- neath. The animal recovered itself, and rose sufficiently to get over, but landed short on the.other side, with his forelegs in a ditch. The horse turned a complete somersault. Wit- ness, rushing over the hedge, found LORD CHESHAM. Lord Chesham with his head and shoulders under the horse, which jump up and bolted. Lord Ches- ham appeared to have died immedi- ately. Dr. Harrison was sent for, and Lord Annaly was notified of what had occurred, and, by the latter's ex- press wish, the body was removed to Holdenby House. Dr. Harrison stated that Lord Ches- ham must have died instantly, the vertebrae being ' broken at the junc- tion of the head and neck. The jury returned a verdict of "ac- cidental death," and expressed sym- pathy with Lady Chesham and her family. Lord Chesham's Career. Charles Compton William Caven- dish, third Baron Chesham, who suc- | ceeded to the titie in 1882, when he was 32, was the son-in-law of the late Duke of Westminster, having mar- | ried the Lady Beatrice Grosvenor in 1879. Educated at Eton, he joined | the Coldstream Guards at 20, and lat- er migrated to the 10th Hussars and | 16th Lancers. In 1879 he retired with the rank of captain; but when the last South African war broke out he volunteered for service, and helped to raise the Imperial Yeomanry. Lord Roberts, in one of his despatches, re- ferred to him as "one of the prime movers for the employment of Yeo- manry in the field, and more parti- cularly as one of the general officers commanding the Yeomanry with dis- tinction and dash." "I owe him a debt of gratitude," said Lord Roberts, "difficult to express, but none the less deeply felt." He was in command ot the first brigade of Imperial Yeo- manry, and afterwards inspector-gen- eral of that force. His daughter, Miss Lilah Cavendish, also made herself popular during the war by offering her services as a nurse for the Yeo- manry Hospital. It was during Lotd Chesham's absence in Africa that the King (in 1901) distributed the Royal Buckhounds, of which Lord Chesham had been appointed master in' the previous year in succession to the Earl of Coventry. He was also made a lord of the bedchamber to the Prince of Wales, and in 1901 was ad- mitted to the Privy Council. Lord Chesham's eldest son, Lieut. Caven- dish, of the 17th Lancers, was killed in battle near Pretoria, just after the arrival of Lord Roberts' army in the Transvaal. In view of the cir- cumstances of Lord Chesham's death, there is a melancholy interest in the following note about his lordship which appeared in "Vanity Fair" not long ago: : He owns about 12.000 acres outside of London. and some property in that town: so that he is quite a well-to-do Imperialist, who will take trouble for his country's sake, going keenly into detail. H: is also an exceedingly popular fellow and a fine sportsman: who used to play polo well; and though he can ride to hounds with the best. he is wholly free from "gide." He knows a horse when he sees it. v That Aching Corn. Whys mot remove it with Peck's Corn Salve. The remedy 'is sure, it Hand mirrors, in. solid ebony, longlis guaranteed.

Yarmouth Official Tells Many Amus- ing Stories--Bashful Couples Make Many Blunders -- Some Oddly Matched Pairs--Fees Paid In Cop- pers--Widower Makes Venture For Sixth Time--Fainting Bridegrooms. It is claimed for EB. J. Lupson, who this month completes 44 years' ser- vice as parish clerk of Great Yar- mouth, that during that period he has in his official capaaty attended no fewer than over 12,500 weddings -- a very large number, even in 44 years. A- correspondent also states that he has "given away" more than 1,300 brides--i.e., that more than 10 per cent. of the brides are given away by the clerk. Mr. Lupson has served under six vicars, only two of whom are to-day alive. In these unique circumstances he has carefully noted many strange or amusing words and deeds. A number of them he embodied in a volume published some time back, entitled "Cupid's Pupils," but he says he has recorded many more. ! FLORENCE NIGONTINGALE. | Nightingale, the heroine of the Cri- mean war, whose name is still a household word the world over. She is in her 87th year, and has lately evinced a weakness which has great ly concerned her medical attendants. Many presents of fruit and flowers arrive daily for her from admirers and friends. Being a confirmed in- valid, this wonderful old lady--whose heroic deeds as a nurse during he Crimean war stirred the hearts of the world, and led a grateful country to vote her a sum of $250,000--lives the life of a recluse. For many days at a time she is forced to keep her bed; but occasion- ally, seated in an invalid chair, she receives a small circle of friends, and from a rear window of her house looks out upon the procession of car- riages which passes up and down Hyde Park. Failing eyesight has | been her affliction for some time past, | but her mental powers are still won- | derfully clear, and she continues to | take interest in nursing questions, | and particularly in the Nightingale Home for Trained Nurses, which she | vated to her after her {| work in the Crimea.

A story concerning the baby Span- | ish prince which was widely circulat- | ed at the beginning of the royal visit | to England 1s again current in court | circles and receives, strange as it | may appear, considerable credence. | The Queen of Spain has not forgotten the dastardly act of the Anarchists | on her wedding day. So when the visit to England was arranged she despatched her beloved baby two days ahead. safely and surreptitious- ly in the care of nurses and detec- tives. Then she and the King brought with them another baby, and it was | only when Kensington Palace was | reached that the devoted mother again | clasped her own infant in her arms. Had the King and Queen been blown up with the substitute baby the real one would have had a poor chance of | recognition. It is easy to imagine the Carlist onslaught on such a preten- der. But a mother's love did not con- cern itself with this. All she wanted was to safeguard her child | As a sidelight on this story it may be mentioned that the baby which ac- | companied the royal couple was con- | stantly on show in Paris and was ex- tensively photographed there in its | nurse's arms when the party stopped there en rente for England. Nobody | there seemed to think it was a bogus prince | It is said the ex-Empress Eugenie | has settled a fortune on the prince, so that when he grows up he will be rich even if he never reigns. The Clansmen. A short while ago there was start ed a movement to have the kilts of a certain one of the British "Highland" regiment discarded in favor of ordin- ary trousers. It was objected that the men . would be discontented at this change, and the colonel gave orders en. in order to ascertain the wishes of the men themselves. The colonel iz the descendant of a long line of Scotch lairds and strives earnestly to uphold the old traditions. The sergeant who took the census of the regiment finally appeared with his report. "All the raen,. with the exception of three, are in favor of the change, sir." "Indeed," the colonel said. "Tell me the names of these three true clans- men. They shall be promoted." The sergeant read from the list: "They are, sir," he said, "Patrick Doolan, Hans Steinbrenner, and Moses Tkenstein." x 8he Had a Good Appetite. A baker in Manchester, England, heard some one moving about in his store the other night, and upon go- ing down stairs he found a girl 13 years old helping herself to pies and cakes. She had got into the place through the transom and had been eating for an hour. In court, next day, the baker swore that she had devoured eight large cakes and seven pies, besides helping herself liberally t» lady fingers and cookies, ate, but said she felt full for the first time in three years. His honor said that any one with such an appe- tit» was a dangerous person to be at large and he sent her to a workhouse for three months.

Career and Life Work of Sir Lewis Morris, . The death is announced of Bir Lewis Morris, the poet, which occurred at his residence, Penbryn, Carmarthen. Sir Lewis was in his 74th year, hav- ing been born in Carmarthen in 1833, He was educated at Sherbourne School and Jesus College, Oxford, and was called to the Bar in 1861. He was elected an Honorary Fellow of Jesus College in 1871, and two years later he me honorary sec- retary of the University of Wales. Subsequently he accepted the 'office of treasurer. At an early stage of his career Sir Lewis took an interest in politics, and in letters to the press be suggested the formation of a Welsh party in the House of Commons. But the proposal attracted little notice. "I was before my time," he said in after years, when he saw groups re- presenting nationalities and interests in Parliament. In 1881 and in 1886 he made unsuccessful attempts to en- ter the House of Commons. In 1891 he became a candidate for the repre- sentation of his native borough, but retired at the request of Mr. Glad- stone in order not to endanger the seat. "It was a disappointment." he said, speaking of his defeats, "but I believe now, from what has since hap- pened, that it was a blessing in dis- guise, and I found other avoecations." Among the poems which Sir Lewis Morris enriched British literature are "The Songs of Two Worlds," "The Epic of Hades," "Gwen, a Drama in Monologue," "The Ode of Life," "Songs Unsung," "Gycia," "Songs of Britain," "A Vision of Saints," "Songs Without Notes," "Idylls and Lyrics." He also wrote odes on Queen Vietoria's Jubilee, on the death of the Duke of Clarence, and on the opening of the Tmperial Institute, His best poem is "The Epic of Hades," and he relates that much of it was written "amid the not inap- y ! | SIR LEWIS MORRIS. propriate \gunds and gloom of the Undergrouny Railway, and the nods and winks Ousjty clerks, who thought their fellow-thggler crazy.

"It might | well be called the "hiding the coin' trick. I had it first tried on me at an after theatre supper in a popular hotel grillroom.' It was a crowded night and I had a very eharming young woman companion, so maybe the waiter thought I wouldn't bother to count the change. He brought me a dollar in silver more than was ne- cessary to provide for even a gener- ous tip. It was a quarter shy. A re- count didn't help. Then I discovered | the missing coin 'way to the other side of the salver, carefully hidden beneath the stub of the check. Fool- ishly enough I gave the waiter the tip I had intended to, which didn't please the young woman when 1 told her about it afterward; she seemed to think there was something other than a tip coming to that waiter."
