S HE death recently of the Earl of Arundel and Surrey, only son of the Duke of Norfolk, senior Duke of England, may perhaps be a relief to the hard and fast upholders of the divine light of primogeniture; for the unfor tunate Earl had been an idiot from his birth, and since an attack of scar let fever, when a child, had been blind also. Recent laws would have prevented his sitting In parliament to help make laws for the British nation, but in the old days only his own Inclination could have kept him oat of the house of lords, and his vote as a peer would have been as valuable as that of any peer possessed of all his faculties. were away, the ladleo, to pau the time, decided to learn trfcldh was the haunted room. To effect their purpose, they de cided to go from room to room and hang a towel from each window. When they had done this they were to inspect the house from the outside and any window without its towel would, of course, open Into the haunt ed room. Lord Strathmore returned while the ladles were still engaged In this occupation, and at once put a stop to it, getting very angry and rebuking Lady Strathmore with considerable warmth, even before his guests. On another occasion the claret gave out at a late supper, and Lord % • < t "' J „ -« ^ J * ; V •' • * -'vVl - " 4 l|j| * i .< - #.• < ^ DRYBURGH ABBEY. (St. Mary's Walk.) Peerage history is very tender to titled persons. "Burke's Peerage"-- the Briton's Bible, some persons have been known to call it--in its accounts of the ancestors of the present Mar quis of Queensberry, says that the second Duke of Queensberrry, "dy ing In 1711, was s. by his eldest sur viving son, Charles, 3d Duke," but •ays nothing of the elder son, whose death made way for him. This elder son was James, Earl of Drumlanrig, an idiot from his birth; but unlike the poor Earl of. Arundel and Surrey, an Idiot who retained all his bodily powers. He was born about 1686 and for years was kept in a retired part of Queensberry house, Edinburgh, behind barred windows and bolted doors. He grew to be nearly seven feet in height, and sustained tremendous strength; he possessed an enormous appetite, and had to be fed continu ally. Meat was his main food and the smell of cooking would throw him Into paroxysms of rage which could be stilled only by prompt supplies of food. On May 1, 1707, the union of Scot land and England took place, and on that day all Edinburgh was excited. Everybody was in the streets when the union was celebrated. The Duke of Queensberry, popularly detested for his share in what the Scots con sidered a shameful bargain, had a prominent place in the ceremonies of the day, and almost every dweller in Queensberry house was outside of Its walls, taking an active or specta tor's part in the day's proceedings. That day the Earl of Drumlanrig broke out of his apartments. He found a door or a window fastened less securely than usual and did not have to exert all his strength to break the bars that restrained him. He wandered through the, deserted house, demolishing furniture and pic tures from time to time, until finally he smelled meat cooking. In a par oxysm of fury he found his way to the kitchen, where a oook and a little boy were at work, the only persons In the house, apparently. Strathmore refused to let the butlei go into the cellar for it, but went himself. He was gone from the t» ble for a long time; finally he was found at the head of the main en trance to the cellar, badly bruised, quite exhausted, but with the claret and the key of the locked door fast In his hand. At last the story of the haunted room pame out; that is. It la said to have come out. To tell it requires a short history of the family, which now bears one of Macbeth's titles. Thomas Bowes-Lyon, born in 1773, became the eleventh Earl of Strath more and died in 1846. He left no children, but he had had a son, George by name, known generally as Lord Glamls. This Lord Glamls, ao> cording to the peerage, was born in 1801, and died in 1834, leaving two sons, both of whom have been Earls of Strathmore. The younger is still Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne. The castle of Glamis is up in For farshire, Scotland, not very far from Dundee; but it was not in any Dun dee paper that a death notice ap peared one morning in 1885 which was to this effect: "Died--At Glamls castle, Thomas Lord Glamis, In the eighty-fifth year of his age." "Thomas Lord Glamis!" The peer ages said nothing of such a person. George Lord Glamis, father of the present Earl and of his elder brother, was the only Lord Glamis who could have been more than 80; and he had died in 1834 when not quite 33 years old. Who then- was "Thomas Lord Glamis," whe-died aged 84? According to the story he was the elder twin brother of George Lord Gamis, ail Idiot from his birth, who was set aside and maintained pri vately In Glamis castle. The haunted chamber was a room through which entrance was had to the part of the house! reserved for him; the secret confided to eaci> heir on his coming of age was the fact that there was such a person--uncle or great-uncle-- who legally was Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne. CA8TLE OF GLAMIS. The cook lted. The Earl fell on the boy before he could escape and killed him with the spit he held. Then he began to cook him! He was on the point of eating him when the oook returned with assistance.j Thereafter the Earl passed out of human knowledge. It is said that he was killed then and there before the kltchenboy's body could be taken from him. For upward of half a century there was said to be a secret haunted room in Glamis castle, one of the residences of the Scots Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne. Which room it was no one knew except the living Earl, his factor or agent, and the Earl's eldest son, who learned the secret on his twenty-first birthday. According to the story published in Blackwood's about the year 1877--the present heir to the title became of age in 1876--the house was filled with guests to celebrate the coming of age of Lord Glamis. On his birthday he was taken aside by his father and the factor, was absent some time, and returned pale and evidently much agi tated; he had seen the Glamls ghost, of eoarM. The late Laurence Ollphant told •ome boys onoe--It is one of them who writes this--that he was staying at Glamls oastla, one of a large shoot ing party. One day, while the men The reason why the Earl would m let the butler go for the claret was that the maniac Lord Glamis had es caped from his keeper and was known to be in hiding in the cellar; and the Earl's condition when he brought the claret to his guests was due to the fact that he had barely escaped from his crazy relative, who was possessed of enormous strength and obeyed only his Keeper or at tendant. The son of the present Lord Glamls, grandson of the present Earl of Strathmore, Is 18 years old now, so the great subject cannot be told to him for three years yet If the story told above and the death notice are correct, there will be no secret to Im part, and the Glamis ghost will have been settled.
