LONDON. Jan. 10. (New Tork World
Cablegram Special Telegram.) Th duke
and duchess of Marlborough are bark In
Sunderland house (their new home In Lon
don), where all their Interests are centered
Just tfow. They dally elpect a superb
stone batuatrade to arrive from Paris,
where It Is being sculptured. This balus
trade will be the mssterplece of the house.
It will give a massive touch to the main
hull, which at present appears Incomplete
Without It, Toe bulldnlg is still very rew
and cold-looking inalde, and as the halls
and stairways are absolutely bare, without
even colo-ed glass In the windows to soften
the light, it will be many months before
any serious entertaining will be posnlble.
Several rooms have been nicely furnished
nd the walls are prettily paneled with
brocades, but the ball room la rough and
underrated, with Its whits plaster walls
Snd windows shuttered up. The duke has
not decided on the nelllng decoration. When
the tapeslriee'arrlve lis will thoroughly go
Into questloas of adorning the vast apart
ment. In which. It Is said, gilded wood w.ll
be lavishly used.
The duchess wenrs a shoft tweed skirt
to avoid getting her dresses ruined on the
stairs.
The duke and the duchess of Roxburgh,
who had such an enthusiastic reception at
Floor's this week, stayed lit London several
days shopping. The duchess spent then
all the checks given her as wedding
presents Most of the purchases were
mado at a well known French Jeweler's In
fulfillment of the desire of those fi lends
who wished her to buy sTtme Jewel or
trinket according to her taste. The Jew
eler tells the World correspondent that the
most trivial of the Jewels or the smallest
trinket the duchers bought would If In
vested provide s comfortable Income for
a poot man.' Fot a Christmas gift for the
duke she had made a splendid pair of d'a-
moi
jtu
tnond and blue enamel sleeve links, with
tuds and match safe to match. Nearly all
hn relatives came In for handsome gifts
from er.
After a gay 'Chrltms at Chippenham,
where Countess Fabbrlcottt was her guest.
Princess Hatsfeldt has returned to town
with her friend The countess was 'to go
to America early last month, but the prin
cess dissuaded her., Ths two friends srl
going abroad early next month, probably
to Blarrlts, to which point all the gay
world of London will migrate presently.
On the princess' return she will take a
house again In Mayfalr. She Is now one
of the most prominent hostesses In Lon
don. ' Iter last year's parties were the most
sensational of the season. Unfortunately,
the house which she raited on Berkeley
square 'was not as large as Is desired for
the party at which the duke and the duch
ess of Connaught snd all smart London
were guests. The stairs were Impassable
nd there was a crush In the supper rooms.
Tills' entertainment cost over 110.000. The
cotillion given a month later cost even

Lady Deerhurst and her children, with
their grandmother, Mrs. Bonynge, are fell

known in society to marry an Ame.loan.
J. J. Van Alen will winter at Pau, where
Mrs. Chduncey and her child, with a suite
of servants, will also spend ths next three
months. Mr. Van Alen's son has a hour
there, and the letter's wife, who Is ex
tremely pretty. Is one of th most popular
Americans in the plsce. Miss Van Alen Is
till staying alone at Clarldges.
Chatsworth theatricals In honor of ths
Visit of King Edward and Queen Alexandra
to the duke and ducheas of Devonshire
wer a brilliant success. The pantomime
wa "Cinderella and the Magic Slipper,"
the scene being laid in London or else
where. Mis Muriel Wilson and Princtss
Henry of Fless, two. of Mis mcst beautiful
women In England, wer "th ugly sla
ters." Leo Trevor, the tuthor, filled fcur
parts, Including thoss of the fairy god
mother, a fat boy and a chauffeur. All
leal reference to th fiscal tariff ques

Prime Minister Balfour.
A series of tableaux representing picture
at Chatsworth, followed. Including-a trav
esty on Sargent' "Three Ladle Acheson
T'nder an Orange Tree." Th identical
ladles posed in th picture; not under
en orange tree, however,, but against a
huge pot of msrmalade. The tableau wsa
called "Sargent' Preserves." Muriel Wil
ton wa prominent throughout th enter
tainment. Alfred Rothschild' private or
chestra provided the music. King Edward'
partiality to the society of th 'duke of
Devonshire ha been especially manifest
In the last few month and th very sig
nificant statement that Devonshire I about
to return to the liberal party la believed
to be well founded.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON INQUIRY
Coaaty Commissioner Do Not Knew
Personally of the Qaallncatloa
of the Men They
elect.
After accepting the report of its com
mittee of Inquiry Saturday at the Com
mercial club, the Omaha Bar association
on motion Instructed the committee In con
Junction with the Judiciary committee of
the association to attend the sitting of
the county commissioners at the court
house Tuesday, at which time the Jury list
is to-be considered, and to there point out
undesirable persons on the panel and to
suggest that desirable persons be substi
tuted. "The Jury matter should never b
dropped," said President John I Kennedy,
"until It is put on a more satisfactory
basis. The three committees should act
together to bring this about It th law
is not light w should get a good law. It
these committee go Into th matter ac
tively we should get a proper execution
of th statutes."
Attorney Swltsler, Hall, Blmeral. Black
burn, Smith and other talked on th Jury
question and the general sentiment ex
pressed was that the law was good, but
Its execution is poor. The following re
port Is published by request of the asso
ciation: OMAHA, Neb., Jan. 9, 104.-Mr, John L.
Kennedy, President Omaha Bar Ascocla
tlon Dear Sir: At the last meetlnc of the
j Omaha Bar association the committee of
inquiry was aireciea ny tne association to
continue its supervision of the Jury list
being prepared for the year 1904 for Doug
las county.
Pursuant to that instruction the commit
tee of Inquiry has given the subject of
the personnel of the men who are to serve
as Jurors In Douglas county for the year
1!W4 their best and most careful consider
ation and we feel constrained to report
th following fact concerning the same:
Commissioners Do Not Kjioot Them.
First. The list now proposed by the In
dividual member of the board of county
commissioners Is composed of men with
whom the several commissioners have little
or no acquaintance. The different commis
sioners do not pretend to know more than
from ten to twenty-five per cent of the
men returned by them from their several
districts and have no personal opinion
Whatever as to ti competency of the re
mainder of the several lists returned by
them from their districts. Ths members
of this committee can form no opinion of
the qualifications of the proposed jury list
of more than perhaps ten per cent of the
proposed Jury list. The commlsMoners have
very little knowledge, indeed, of the fitness
of the proposed Jurymen outside of their
own districts and no knowledge, in excess
of twenty-five percent, of the individuals
appearing upon their lists from their owu
districts.
Hecond The commissioners, as a body,
can and do possess no opinion whatever of
the general fitness of tne whole Jury list
a proposed. They do not claim or pretend
to possess the requisite knowledge whareon
they may form or base an opinion as to the
fitness end competency of those who are
proposed for Jurymen during the year loot,
except as hetnbefore stated. .The system
now followed by the Board of County Com
missioners in returning men to serve as
Jurors is fundamentally and radically
wrong and opposed to the plain letter of
the statute, which provides as follows,
section tt B, Code: .
"In making such Jury list the county
board shall choose a proportionate number
from the residents of each town or precinct
and shall take the names of such only as
are in the opinion of the board: First, in
habitants of the town or precinct not ex
empt from serving on Juries. Second, of
the age of 21 years or upwards and under
60 years oM. Third, in the possession of
their natural faculties. Fourth, free from
all legal exceptions, of fair character, of
approved integrity, of sound Judgment well
Informed and whq understand the English
language."
It will thus b observed that the law
contemplates an "opinion of the board"
concerning th qualifications of the Jury
men. Under the present system of select
ing these men by the Board of County Com
missioners the board can anti does possess
no knowledge whatever nor does any mem
ber of the board possess an opinion as to
the list of names proposed by him from his
own district, except as helnbefore stated.
Commissioners Wer Courteous.
Third The Board of County Commission
ers have given us the most courteous and
careful consideration since we. first pre
sented this matter to the board and have
been particularly frank in answering all ln
oulrles we have made of them. The time.
however, has been so short since we first
presented the subject to the board for
Its consideration that they have not had
time to change their present system oi e
lectlng Jurors, If they so desired.
Fourth. The several commissioners re
reive a vearlv compensation of II. 80 each.
Their time is presumed to be occupied ill
lh. ilUrliarffA nf rnnnlv Mffnlrs TherA are
placed in the Jury box about 100 names
which is sn average of about twenty-time
Jury men for ' each precinct of the 102
voting precincts of Douglaa county. There
is In our Judgment no reason why each
member of the Board of County Commis
sioners cannot learn, with denniteness and
certainty, the qualifications of Jury men
proposed by him from the respective pre
cincts in his district. It is simply a matter
of care and attention, wncn. by law. ae
volves upon the county commissioners. It
will not do, in our Judgment, to say that
the county is large snd the Inhabitants
manv and therefoie unknown to the mem
bers of the board. It is their duty, as pub
lic officials, to become acquainted with or
learn from reliable ana creditable iniorina
tlon that the men proposed by them, in
fact, possess the qualifications prescribed
by law for Jury men.
Fifth. We do not find, however, that the
failure of the board to possess sufficient
knowledge of the qualifications of the men
proposed as Jurors, emanates from sny
fraudulent or unfair motive but rather
from an illegal and illogical system inaug
urated many years ago, which system Is,
In itself, contrary to th intent of the
law.
This committee further reports, concern
ing the matter submitted to us at the last
meeting of the Omaha Bar association,
that we have nut yet taken up. with ths
Judges of the district court, the question of
excusing certain wen quaunea men wnose
names are" drawn to serve ss Jurors tor
the ressnn that the four new Judges of
tne district court nave Dut recently tsaen
the oath of office and the matter could not
properly be brought before th Judge until
in present time.
Respectfully submitted.
