UNREST lit ENGLAND
Duke of Marlborough Blames
Dearth of Cottages for Evil.
Absence of Homes for Humblest
Classes of Rural Workers Is De
populating tho Country "Week
Enders" Is Chief Cause.
London. When tho duke of Marl
"borough, In his recent articles In the
iDatly Mall on "Industrial Unrest In
England," traced the source of the
itrouble back to the dearth of cottages
jfor country taborors, It seemed rather
fanciful, but since his articles were
.printed., no Bmall amount of evidence
jfcas appeared to back up his theory,
t One of the most Interesting contrl-
buttons to the discussion cornea from
j"A Country Parson," who says that the
(doarth of homos for tho humblest
classes or rural workers Is a crying
ertl. According to him, It Is depopu
lating tho country.
Marriages among the young people
are at a discount, he says. Twenty
years ago, In his parish, the registers
show there was a yearly average of
six marriages of agricultural laborers.
During the last eight years this aver
jago has been reduced to one. Assur
edly this statement backs up the duko
of Marlborough. '
Tho young men In tho country havo
no inducements to marry thercfand no
'homes to settle down In. They flock
to the cities, they crowd out the city
iborn of weaker physique, they lower
'the standard of wagos by glutting tho
"(labor market. Then como pqvorty,
strike, paralysis of business, general
all-'rountl disaster.
But why should there bo a dearth
of rural cottages. Why docs not tho
Jaw of supply and demand operate to
end it in short order? One reason
seems to bo that all sorts of outsid
ers are competing with tho agricultur
al laborer In the way of a cottago that
may exist or be built in rural regions.
Behind this Is tho fundamental
cause, the fact that the agricultural
laborer Is so badly paid or paid In
such an unpractical way that ho Is not
able to pay anything like a decent
rent for a homeg-anything liko tho
rent which will return even tho
smallest interest on tho builder's In
vestment. Jl!uirntlne the competition with the
laborer for the rural cottage, tho
case of the week ender Is cited. Tho

week ender of moderate means wants
a very cheap place where- ho can run
down In fine weather and spend a day
or two at what la to him merely
nominal expense. He finds a labordr's
cottage picturesquely BltuatedJ ho
goes to tho landlord and offers u gio
tesquely low rent for It, say flvo shil
lings or 1.25 a week, on condition
that it bo restored or fixed up put In
good order, Tho landlord cheerfully
accepts tho offer and puts tho cottago
In flrst-rato condition, for the rent of
tho city man offers, absurd though It
may seem to a New Yorker, is any
where from throo to flvo times as
much as tho agricultural laborer can
afford to pay.
LORD GOES tO NEW ZEALAND
'Half-Brother of Lady Constance Fol-
Jambe, Who Jilted a Clergyman, Is
Appointed Qovernor of Dominion.
London. The Earl of Liverpool,
whoso half-Bister, Lady Constance
Foljambe, jilted a clergyman at tho
altar stops a year ago, but repented
and married hltn somo months later,
lias been appointed governor of tho
Dominion ot Now Zealand, In succes
sion to Lord, Islington. Tho Earl's fa
ther, who died In 1907. served in the.
Naval Brigade in tho New Zealand
war In 1803 and wns present at tho
storming of Hanglrlrl.
Ldy' Constance and tho present
Earl of Liverpool had different moth
ers, both of whom were relatives ot
jtho Duko of Devonshire.
Tho earl Is the husband of the only
daughter of Viscount Monck of Coun-
ty "WIcklow, Ireland. Tho couple are
childless an'd tho tl'tlo probably will

Tho new governor of New Zealand

man. Hunting, shooting and cricket

descendant of the half-brothor ot the
second Earl of Liverpool, who was
British Prime Mlnistor from 1812 to
1827. After the death of the third
earl the title lapsed and was not re
vived until a few years ago, when
King Edward restored it to the Fol
jambe family in the person of the
present Earl's father, Lord Hawkes
bury, Lorcl Steward of the royal house
hold. William E. Gladstone, it Is said,
wanted the title of 'Earl of Liverpool
conferred on him and refused a peer
age when he could sol get that partic
ular earldom.
The present Earl was aide-de-camp
to Earl Cadogan when the latter was
Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland. He served
In the Boer war jand was state stew?

direct from tho minors. This Is also
true of tho Infield when Morgan Is
playing second, and is a fact so far
as n majority of tho pitchers and

All of which should go to show
that tho club which Intonds to

thesmall leagues. Success, however,

AT RISK OF HIS LIFE
REV. DR. PALMORE VISITED THE
TOMB OF AARON.
Mosque Is Nothing Much to See, but
Religious Fanaticism of the Na
tives Makes the Journey One
of Great Danger.
Rev. T)r. William B. Palmore of St.
Louis, who has Just completed n tour
of Europe and the Orient, said thnt
his most remarkable exploit was a
recent nocturnal expedition at the
risk of his lifo to tho tomb on Mount
Hor, In Arabia Petrea, which Is re
vored by throo religions as the burial
place of Aaron, brother of Moses, and
first high priest of tho Hebrew theoc-
racy.
Lato on tho last, night of his stay in
Petrea Dr. Palmoro silently stole out
of tho city, attended by his guldo and
soldiers.
"When the llttlo party at last stood'
alons on the mountain top and saw
tho desert Bleeping far below they
found tho mosque to bo a ramshackle
building of white stones rudely plied
together and surmounted by a round
ed dome. The guide without scruple
applied his stolen key to the lock and
the door swung open.
"I found myself m a chapel about
40x40 feet'says Dr. Palmore. "Ac
cording to tho Moslem custom, It con
tained neither seals nor altars. It
was completely bare save that In the
center stood a cenotaph, or empty sar
cophagus, covered by a green cloth.
Carved in stone was an Inscription in
Hebrew so nearly obliterated by time
that I could not decipher it.' I calcu
lated that the inscription was more
than 2,000 years old. There was also
a legend caryed on tho cenotaph In
modern Arabic.
"I had little time to waste, for I
was confident that If the Arabs In tho
valley discovered my depailure and
traced me to tho mosque they would
kill me. In one corner I discovered a
hole In tho floor, revealing a flight of
stairs cut In tho rock and leading
downward.
"Holding my candlo aloft, I descend
ed tho steps and found found myself
in a'n unllghted cavo of no great size.
Like the mosque, it was bare and
rude. But across one end wero
stretched two chains like sentinels
against intruders a,pd behind them
hung a tattered curtain.
"I stepped over the chains and
swept the curtain aside. Tho sealed
entrance to a natural vault was re
vealed and this vault was the tomb of
Aaron."
There was little time for sacred rev
erie, for, if day broko before ho de
scended the mountain, his errand
might be detected and avenged by tho
Arabs of tho valley. So Dr. Pal
more, after touching tho sealed vault
reverently with his hand, ascended
the stairs, passed through tho
mossque and stood again in tho open
air
His guide gravely locked the door
and concealed the key onco more In
his garments. The party mado Its
way Bafely back to Petra without dis
covery, and within a few hours was
miles away on tho return trip north.
Safeguarding Letters.
From the days of antiquity It has
always been a problem unsolved how
to Insure the secrecy of letters. A
Frenchman named Phlon claims, how
ever, to havo discovered the- real
method, which is as simple as the egg
of Columbus. The invention is thus
described: ' Tho envelope looks very
like an ordinary one, but the tongue
is in a kind of loop, prolonged so as to
fit the gummed end of tho upper right
hand corner, which is silt. The tongue
is inserted, and further fixed by tho
stnmp struck over it. Tho system is
simplicity itself, and, except for rip
ping open tho envelope or tearing off
tho stamp, It is impossible to r.et at
the letter inside.
Her Dislike Too Vigorous.
A woman in an English country
town took an unusual way of express
ing her dislike of tho pastor. While
the connregatlon wns stnndlng, during .
tho Singing of an anthem, sho rushed
up the chancel steps and began throw
ing hymn books at tho minister, and
finally exclaimed: "Take him from
tho church!" The minister was great
ly astonished, knowing nothing of tho
disorder until he was struck in tho
back. Ho thought a stone had fallen
from the roof. In court the woman
evpressed regret.
Not a Strong Argument.
Said an advocate of woman suffrage
during tho recent campaign in Cali
fornia: "A point upon which a great
deal of weight has been placed Is that
women do not want tho suffrage and
that 11, would be cruel to impose it up
on them. The cry about cruelty to
women reminds me of a dialogue thai
passed between Johnnie and his moth
er. "Johnnie, your little sister has
been hauling you on her sled for hall
an hour. Why don't you get off and
haul her?" 'Mamma,' said llttlo John,
nle, 'I am afraid she will take cold.' "
Eggshells In Surgery.
In a number of skin-grafting opera
tions he has recently carried out, a
Philadelphia physician haB used the
llnlug ot egg shells instead of hu
man sklh. One of tho patients ho is
reported to have succesbfully treated
In this way was a woman, who had tho
skin burned off her back. The physi
cian declares that the suffering which
has been Imposed on human donors
of skin for such operations is unneces
sary, Only fresh eggs may bo used.
