ONDON, May 9.—There are, indeed, L few fairer estates throughout the length and breadth of England than those which the beautiful. young Marchioness of Exeter surveys from Burghley House, the home that Queen Elizabeth’s great treasurer built for him- f upon the fair banks of the Welland orthamptonshire. Her lands extend over 28,000 acres of typical English scen- ery, and the park, which was ftself lald out by the Marquess' famous ancestor, has for its center an Elizabethan mansion “exceeded in taste and magnificence by few seats either in England or abroad.” For three years new the young March- foness has been mistress of this great do- main. Before then she was the Hon. Myra Royena Sibell Orde-Powlett. She is the onl¥ daughter of Lord Bolton; and on her mother's side she belongs to a race as distinguished for gallantry as the Brownlow-Cecils have been for polity. These are the Earls of Scarborough, of whom the first commanded at Sedgemoor. They have been an adventurous family ever since Lyulph de Lumley, in the days of Ethelred, was murdered at Durham by the Bishop's orders, and the populace zose to revenge him and slew that Bishop. | - ——— | TWO TITLED BEAUTIES, AMERICAN LEADER IN: LONDON mmm WIDOW OF A CZAR. e B TERRORS OF CONSPIRACY HER PORTION Eventful Life of the Dowager Empress of Russia. Special Cable to The Call and New York Herald. Copyright, 1903, by the New York Herald Publishing Company. ONDON, May 9.—The Dowager Em- L press of Russia was one of the royal party in Denmark to meet Queen Alexandra. Her life has had more than its share of Russian terrors. Once, it is said, she found a curious Lttle jewe) case on the Emperor's dressing ta- ble, and ‘on’ picking it up found it sur- prisingly heavy. Taking it into her own room she placed it in a basin of water and sent for the Prefect of Police, who found 1t to be one of the most Ingenious infernal machines devised by the hand of man. One night in the Winter Place, when Alexander IIT' was still alive, the Em- press is said to have heard a slight nolse in his room. With remarkable presence of mind she begged her husband to come and speak to the children, and as he iefc the room she locked the door and gave the key to'a party of soldiers, who on en- tering found' that somebody hav} escaped through the window. Alexander 11T was spared the appalling fate of his father, but his death came greviously enough at last. “Zacharin has just told me there is no hope,” he.said one day to his wife, anl the Empress Marie is-not likely ever to forget the sad moment when the Czar of all the Russias thus told her of his im- pending end &/ 3 SQUANDERS FORTUNE AND IS BANKRUPT Prince “Juleep’” Unable to Live on $75,000 a Year. leep Singh, an Indian Prince, whose brother-in-law married an American is a bankrupt. himself unable to live on his income of $75,000 a year. Among his eredi- tors are various bookmakers, to whom the Prince owes $50,000. Prince as he is called, is a slender li 1, with a thin black mus- tache and intensely black hair. He is ex- tremely dusky. He is, or has been, a devotse of the turf, and has lived Ilike the Prince that he is. He testified In court that it cost him $50,000 a year to live, and as that is more than his income, bankruptey was in- evitable. The historic diamond, the Kohinoor, which now ornaments the crown of Eng- gland, was owned by the Prince's father and was looted from him when the Brit- ish suppressed a native revolution in the Punjab. The Prince claims the British Govefn- ment owes him $3,000000 for property seized by its agents at the time that his father was dethroned, but the Govern- mient seems unwilling to pay, despite the fact that the little Prince is now broke and cannot live upon the liberal pension allowed him by the Government. The Prince owes half a million dollars, and as his assets are not $50,000, his credi- tcrs are in despair I ONDON, May 9.—Prince Victor Dhu. heires: He foun Britain Honors an American.
