For centuries the white cattle have been the most cher- ished possession of the family of Earl | Ferrers at their famous Chartley tate in Staffordshire. It was first tablished there in the reign of Henr: 11 All that remains of the once mighty herd that used to roam through the forests and over the moors surround- ing Chartley—less than a dozen shag- gy beasts—have just been bought by | the Duke of Bedford. Their disposal | in this fashion puts the finishing ouches to the singular verification of | ancient legend that the birth of black calves in the herd portended ! death or dire disaster to the family or its possessions. The legend began to be respected in 13 after the battle of Burton bridge between Edward II and his revolted Barons, with a Ferrers among them. A black calf befng born that year at Chartley and the second downfall of the house ensuing—the | had been preceded by a similar | occurrence—this was imputéd to the black quadruped rather than to the| impolitic patriotism of the Earl, and it was ruthlessly slaughtered. FORTUNES OF ESTATES. By marriage Chartley passed to the | Shirleys, who were oppressed by Cromwell as rovalists and later re-| warded by Charles IT with the revival of the Ferrers barony. The Earl Fer- rers of Queen Anne'’s time had fifteen sons ‘and twelve daughters, which greatly impoverished the patrimony. His grandson, the notorious Lawrence, Earl Ferrers, was executed at Tyburn in 1760 for the murder of his stew- | ard. According to superstitious chron- | iclers ever: cissitude in the affairs| of the family has been heralded by the birth 8f a black calf. The present Earl Ferrers showed his contempt for the legend by intro- ducing a black bull into the herd. His object wag to combat the decadence| resulting from continuous inbreeding by introducing a new strain. In 1903 several black calves. were born in the herd. This intentional sullying of the whiteness of the breed was followed by what folk who take pride in noble heritages regard as the crowning dis- aster in the annals of the family— the sale of the entire estate, feudal fortress, historie associations, park, broad acres and all the rest, at auc- fon. 4 Anr.d thus was lost to the family a property which though it had many times changed hands through death, through marriage, or at the sword’s point, had never been subjected to the ignominious fate of being bartered for current coin. Now that the herd it- self has been gold none of the Earl's former tenants at Chartley believe that his descendants will ever regain pos- session of the estate. HERD IN GOOD HANDS. However, the herd has fallen into good hands. Both the Duke and Duchess of Bedford are devoted to dumb animals of all sorts and have the largest private collection in the country. They can be trusted to apply the restorative remedies necessary to perpetuate these intgresting relics—the introduction of fresh blood and the rearing of new born calves by foster mothers. Professor Robert Wallace & ts that the off-colored calves of ese ‘white cattle, instead of being slaught- ered as has heretofore been the cus- tom, should be collected in one park and allowed to breed indiscriminately. “The possibilities are great,” he says, “of obtaining profoundly inter- esting scientific as well as useful prac- tical results from efforts made in that direction. Had a proposition of simi- lar sclentific interest to America arisen in that country, the calves in questio) would no doubt have been bought by | the Department of Animal Industry, or such an institution as the State Agricultural College at Ames, Iowa, | BY LAWSIN Bostonian Predicts a - Panic on Wall Special Dispatch to The Call. | BOSTON, April 19.—Thomas W.

Franz Bopp Formaly Enters Upon His Duties at the Local German Consulate.
