In order to realize the terrible strain imposed by Sir William Hareourt's so called "death duties," which excited so much sentiment among the land-owning class of Great Urituin last year, it may be mentioned that most of the ter ritorial magnates who, through tho death of their father or other near rel atives, recently have come into posses sion of the family property, have been compelled by the burden thus imposed upon them to close up their country houses and to let their shooting to tho highest bidder. Thus, when a few months ago tho marquis of Path succeeded to the en tailed estates of his father, he was forced by the death duties which he had to pay on his father's estate to close up Longlat and to lease all the sport ing privileges of tho estate to a oily merchant, and now It is announced that the new Lord Savillc (husband of thnt pretty Mrs. Horace Helyar, who, with her first husband, was connected with the English embassy at Washington in the days of Lord Sackville) will have to close Rufford abbey, one of the most beautiful country Beats in "the duk eries," the duties in this case amounting to nearly $1,000,000. The duties are exceptionally heavy in this instance; in the first place, because the new Lord Savillc is merely tho nephew instead of the son of the tes tator; and, secondly, because of tho immense and extremely valuable art collection gathered together by the late lord, who was a famous connoisseur. Each of his pictures, each of his pieces of bnc-n-brac, has been valued by ex perts, and on every separate piece suc cession duty has to be paid. It will readily be seen what a heavy charge this is upon any inheritance, and ono( cannot help pitying, to a cer tain extent, the great land owners and county families. They are debarred by the laws of entail from getting rid of any of their treasures, in which they have only a life interest, and yet at their death their estate is charged with succession duties thereon. If the prop erty happens to change hands moro than once in n year the estate is, of course, charged with just double tho nmount of duty, and the duke of Devon shire and other opponents of the death duties cannot be accused of any exag geration in that they declared in parlia ment and from the platform that tho duties in 'question, unless altered, will ultimately result in the ruin of every old family in England. It Is understood that during the forth coming session the Salisbury govern ment will bring forward a measure modifying the death duties as now con stituted, and will restrict them merely to the so-called "personal estate," ex empting all entailed property and such things ns art treasures. Chicago Rec ord. To Mnlcc It DcHlrnMp. "So you won't take the house?" said the real estate man. "No," returned the man who had been looking over the property with a view to buying it. "It isn't at all what I want in the matter of location. Tho street is dirty, and, in fact, little better than an alley. I want a locality that has a little tone to it." "Oh, if that's your only objection," answered the real estate man, "we'll have no trouble in arranging matters satisfactorily. Indeed, I have already given the matter some attention, and am assured that at the next meeting of the council it will be attended to." "Street to be widened?" "No; but Us name is to be changed to Paradise place." Chicago Post. THE GENERAL MARKETS.
