LORDS AMD DUKES AMD EARLS GALORE. Some of Them Hod Loom Idem on Every Imaginable Subject-—Lord John Russell and the Father of the Present Earl. The Earl Russell divorco caso which was concluded in London the other day will pass into history as a blot on mod ern English character. If the empire is to fall, as eminent writers say it must, such disgraceful developments relative to the private lives of members of the cost mostly nobility will contribute its share to the result. The scapegrace who has had his dirty linen washed before the disgusted people of two continents never did a good turn in his life. Ills income is derived from a vast estate in Ire land which was confiscated from the Irish people after the Protestant reformation. Ills wife who did not come out of the cast untarnished owns an estate of similar title in Scotland. The name of Russell has been associa ted with the llritisli empire since its establishment. It was cherished us sarlyastlie tenth century. A Russell officiated in the cabinets of all the Heifrys, and when the hero of the first divorce caso ever declared legal in England occurred, a Russell took issue against the decision of Rome. There was Lord William Russell, Earl John Russell, Duke Odo Russell and Lord John Russell, all great men In their time, Willium became proud KACHEx. RU6SE.L.U nent during the Norman conquest. John, the Karl of Hertford, flourished during- the reign of Henry VIII# lie was the embassador intrusted with tin responsibility of foreign negotiations, he arranged royal marriages, made and unmade alliances with the Kmperor and the Pope and was intrusted with the guardianship of the heir to the throne. The Russells as a race em bodied the qualities for which English men are famous. With the exception of the “martyr” of the revolution they have rarely been enthusiasts, and for the most part were especially gifted with the capacity for making the most of opportunities. Odo Russell flourished with the statesmen of the lust generation. Lord John Russell is better known to Ameri can readers from the fact that he at one time visite'd this country. He was appointed Governor-General of Canada by Queen Victoria, and by his diplo macy prevented the Canadians from fol lowing I he example set bv the American colonists of 117»». lie is the grand father of John Francis Stanley Russell, the hero of the present cusdr' After his college course at Edinburgh university, where his hereditary views of liberal ism were stimulated by the teaching and example of Dugald Stewart, the young man traveled through Europe, and like some of the best Englishmen j of his time was strongly taken with the revolutionary principles of France. At an early age he entered Parliament, and went to work at once to abolish the rotten borough system. IJefore he was enabled to become instrumental in carrying the reform bill of 1832 he in curred the odium of his own country men for the bold stand he made with Daniel O’Connell for Catholic emanci pation. For more than half a century he continued to be the head and front of all practical political movements for ameliorating the condition of the masses in (ireat Britain. He had some hobbies, as, for instance, his opposition to the threatened assumption of eccles iastical titles by the Roman Catholic bishops. Hut in the main his efforts were honest, and strenuous on his be half of the people. j Stanley Russel, Viscount of Amberly, the present Earl’s father, was a man of Loro John Russe-uu . rather loose ideas. His mother also held unconventional notions of life. Both were "thoroughly well-intentioned people, and of more than usual intelli gence, but their attempts at free-think ing, crude enough at the best, led to a certain looseness of mind which has borne bitter fruit after the amiable re formers had passed away.

A San rruolno Waif Who Hm Fajlon Hair to ai.SOO.OOO. From the Btroet to a Itarony. Such a fjjito did the stars presage for cJ 0AR0NL33 \ von RARKtXbW little Ida Green, a news girl at San Francisco. She is 15 years old, pretty and a favorite with all who lenow her. One night recently she went to lied high ly pleased with her day's work. Kike as if in the shape of a reward for her contentment, for her humble station, she arose the following morning to find herself a two-time millionaire. The news was in a dispatch to the effect that the case of Mrs. Katherine Robin son and Ida (Ireon, who had sued for the estate of the late Baron von Barne kow, had been decided In their favor. It is believed that the estate will amount to 31,500,1)00 after the Baron's debts have been paid. The suit, was instituted in March last, Mrs. Robinson alleging that she had been the wife of the Huron and tlint Ida Green was his daughter. The Baron, who was an officer in the German army, became dissipated and lied to this coun try about eighteen years ago. In San Francisco he became a hotel-runner and was known us Fred Green. Subse quently he opened a bar-room. On the train going to San Francisco luv be came acquainted with Katharine Ifalli gan, and in 1870 they were married. A daughter was born to them. A short time after the marriage his dissipation increased, and he deserted his family. Twelve years after the marriage the woman got a divorce, and a year later married Mr. Robinson, a mariner. The Iiaron had returned to Germany as the heir to the estate, and had married an other woman without getting a divorce. Ho died in 1887, and the Countess von Moltke, his sister, who learned some of the facts of his former marriage, asked Consul-General Edwards to obtain all the partieulaus. About a year ago Chief of Police Crowley of Sun Fran cisco found Mrs. Robinson and Ida Green, and notified them of the death of the Baron von Barnekow, or Fred Grcei^ With the necessary affidavits proving the marriage and the identity of the Baron, the suit was instituted which has resulted so happily for Ida, a portrait of whom is here given. BETTER KEEP AWAY. Chicago Police Preparing to Receive Noted ProokH. Among the countless thousands who will flock to Chicago during the period of the great I'olumliiau exposition! there w ill la* from live to ten thousand professional criminals. Every city on the American continent will contribute its quota: tiie London “swell snob" will be largely represented; a huge em igration from the banlieues of Paris will swell the gathering; German pro ROBERT WII.SOX M'cr.ArfiURT, fessionals will l>e represented "by a large majority.” and in a less decree all the other capitals of Europe will • nd specimens of their rascality—a sun official exhibit, so to speak. The. fair managers know this and so doesSupt. McClaughry of the Chicago police. They are preparing for the visitation, and if their plans do not mis carry they will receive the delegation of the "crooked” fraternity with most discouraging hospitality. Their idea is so to arrange matters that every ho tel sneak, boarding-house thief, lmnco steerer. pickpocket, shoplifter, black-' mailer, card sharper or other rogue of whateverdescription.will be recognized the moment he or she shows his or her face in the streets, instantly clapped into jail, held there as long as possible, exhibited to every police officer in the city and afterwards hunted and worried until the city grows too hot to hold him or her. I.lke AVhlte Ca|ih, The tenant house on the farm of l)r. J. J. Snyder, near Xenia, Ohio, was partly blown up by dynamite the other night. The house was occupied by a family named Wade, who seems to be objectionable to some of the people of the vicinity. One corner of the houso was blown out., but none of the in mates were injured. They took the hint and loft the neighborhood the next day. THE SPIRITS DID IT. AT LEAST 80 THINK THE SPIRIT* UALISTS. A REMARKABLE CASE UNDER EIRE IN NEWARK. A Man and Woman Boooma Convinced That They Are In the Garden of Eden—Remarkable Hallucination ot a Scotchman. Wo arc all mad—lunatics—every ono of us, yet we are but human, and hu mnnlty js the samo in all ages and conditions, and what humanity is capa ble of oven in the latter half of tills century can bo seen from a glance at the subjoined account, reprinted from an illustrated journal of tlio year lHt.8: The people residing in a peaceful neighborhood of Newark, N. J., have recently been excited by some very ex traordinary and outrageous exhibitions under tho name of spiritualism. It seems that for somo time past a few spiritualists and eccentrics have estab lished themselves there, and conducted thomsclvos in u most singular manner. Tho headquarters were in an old engine house, which is usod as a sort of Spiritual publication concern, tho printing being done on tho lower iioor and tho publishers, male and female, living upstairs. Ilut tho most remit rka blo manifestations were in a house on tho corner of Prospect and Chestnut streets, occupied by a widow lady, who bears a respectable character. A man named Robert McKwen, a Scinch man, and a Spiritualist of the maddust type, appears to have gained an inlluonce overtho family, and nearly all of them have become monomaniacs on tho subject. Ono of their hallucina tions is that when in a certain spiritual 1I01IRKT M’KWAH. condition they must strip themselves, and tills they do without the least sense of shame, quoting ns their pre cedents the very ancient ones of Adam and Kve. In this plight they are said to have exposed themselves, with the windows and door of the house wide open, to the gaze of the, passers-by. Homotimes largo crowds gathered around the house, and were harangued by one of the inmates. A couple of prominent physicians, old friends of the family, being asked lately by ono of the relatives to call and see if something could not be done to put li stop to these disgraceful proceed ings, were ushered intoan unfurnished room, in which were the mail McEwen and several members of the family. <in the floor lay a mysterious object cov ered by a blanket, upon lifting which a woman jumped up, stark naked, and, embracing I)r. Coles, frantically said: “I am glad to see you! I will save you! I am the mother of Christ!" and mode use of other equally extravagant ex pressions. - 't These arc the prominent facts hi this extraordinary ease. They are indecent enough ip themselves, but, as may W naturally Inferred, there are somp da tails that are too disgusting for repeti tion. _ >' tj0e The members of the fstnuy are' sa parent)'- sincere in their lamentable fanaticism, and McEwen himself, who UA new in the hands of the police, seems to believe in bis insane profession. HEIGHT OF FANATICISM. McEwen is about tho medium height, intelligent-looking and takes his arrest as a genuine martyr. Worked Vrlth Greeley. , Uncle Joshua Bars tow, an inmate of the National Soldiers' home at Togua, Maine, is one of the oldest printers in the country, and takes great pride in the fact that Horace Greeley once worked at his elbow, and that he and Horace often raced for a “fat take" that came next on the hook.
