So they have raised the battleships, giving them more freeboard, the consequence being Hint they look more like armored cruisers than they do like the Indiana. "I'd also cast an eve on Ihe battleships Alabama and Illinois which wero In collision a few days ago off Newport.

Manhattan, told Magistrate Sleinert that he believed he had rounded up four of a which had driven William Rlordan, a saloon keeper, out of business in the I "Gas House" district. This gang, the de-iteilive slated, had sworn to take vengeance on Riordan because he had shot 'two of the members. At the time of tho ishooiing.

he said, they refused to prosecute, but let the saloon keeper know In no uncertain terms that they would have an "eye for an eye." The four prisoners arraigned In court gave the names of Joseph Lnlly, 2t5 years 'of age. of rLM Ensl Sixteenth street; Patrick McKeuna, 2 years old. of 410 East Sixteenth street: Michael Slattery. 21 years old, of 551 East Sixteenth street.

Two months -igo Itiordaji shot two mi-mben of the gang while they were attempting to assault his wife. These two men had forced iheir way into Kiordan's apartments, and were in his wife's room when lie by chance came upon them. He drew his revolver and shot ihem both.

At. the lime Riordan was arrested. The two men who were shot refused to press ihe charge, but sent word to Riordan thai 1 hey would gel even. Since 1 hen according to Ihe detective, the saloon keeper has been hounded by this gang.

No psychological drama ever written is to be compared in tensity with the life of the late Lord Lovelace, From youth to old age his chivalrous passionate devotion for his grandmother, i the wife from whom Byron separated, 'conflicted with his dread of bringing shame upon the head of Ihe man who was not only his direct progenitor, but whom he worshipped as one of the i world's greatest poets.

There is no doubt that many Influential people in Germany are keeping a particulorly cIomb eye on South America, and hat though unobtrusive, efforts are made to incease ihe number of German emigrants annually moving to Southern: The idea is. I believe, to got two or three millions of sturdy Teutons, all well-lo-do traders, farmers, or artisans, solidly nettled In South Brazil. When that happens, the Santos province could become virtually a German under the nominal government at Rio without the use of force, though if this had to be employed, the Germans, most of them being drilled conscripts, would make short work of any Brazilian army. But.

Of course, the -United States will have 10 bo reckoned with, and that in the opinion of some shrewd British naval ex-perls is one reason for pushing on actively Grman naval construction. I know that ihe late Sir William Laird Clowes, who knew moro of the German admiralty than any other foreigner, always took this view. He thought that, the anti-Engiish scicre was deliberately kept, up by the German authorities in order to furnish an exeme for creating a great navy, which was never intended to be use! primarily against England, but in the firs; place to support German designs on ihe Continent of Europe, and secondly to assist her if she should ever drift into difficulties with Amere-a over South America.

As a child he was constantly with his grandmother, to whom after the death of his own mother he was passionately attached wilh all the strength of his sensitive, ardent nature.

From the moment that he inherited the paper containing the true story of Byron's separation and Its causes, and Ihe truth of the tarrible accusation first formulated by Beecher-Stowe. Lord Lovelace was ever, painfully debating with himself and a small group of friends whether or not. It was his duty to reveal the fads to the world, which so misjudged Lady Byron. Some favored publication, others urged Ihe shielding of the memory of him whom many regard as Ihe greatest English poet. Only those who knew Lord Lovelace knew what he suffered.

Fragmentary Record. Finally, he decided to publish privately "Astarte." which is only a fragmentary record of the Leigh tragedy. This he prefaced by referring to it as "the anxious" duty -impossible to neglect, hardly more possible to execute." Perhaps it would have been better never to publish anything after Byron was dead, but, after the heavy accumulation of coarse misrepresentation, the dark night of his real history seems less suffocating than the poison of flatteries and familiarities in opochryphal compilations. Reading "Manfred" in the light of Lord Lovelace's book, it is impossible to avoid seeing the reference beginning, "She was like me in lineaments," and ending. "I loved her and destroyed her." "Astarte" was of absorbing interest to those who obtained a copy.

Lovelace's analysis of Lady Byron is as vivid and ompelling a piece of pen portraiture as any passage in the poem3 of his grandfather. Lovelace loathed publicity, but set himself lo his task with dogged determination to see the wrong righted. This fearlessness characterized his whole life. MRS. THAW VISITS SOU.
