There are few more romantic stories than that of the earldom of Seafleld. even In Its most modera episodes, and In certain of Its phases It may be said to extend from one end of the world to the other: for the present Earl of Seafleld makes his Jsnme In DBS Antipodes, where his father had to earn Mi living as a laborer, while his grandaunt, Caroline.

Countess of retains possession of the vast estates of the earldom. In order to exrlsin this condition of affairs, It Is necessary to stats that the fifth Earl of Seafleld became Insane.

John Charles, his eldest em tiring son, succeeding as seventh earl, was asked to share the accumulations Alth his brothers. He refused, and thereupon they went to law. After the washing 1 of a great deal of family linen in court, the contest was settled In favor of earl, but left him so furious against his brothers that, with the co-operation of his son, he managed to secure the disentailment of the- proper In due course his son.

On hearing of death of the tenth earl in New Zealand in these destitute old Caroline. Countess of Seafleid, widow of the seventh earl and owner cf all the great Ogilvie and Grant was moved by family pride, and perhaps also by pity, to address a letter to tha other widowed Lady Seafleld, out in New Zealand, offering to take charge at the latter's eldest son. then mere boy, to bring him to England and to educate, him Id a manner befitting his poeltion as eleventh Earl of Seafield. with the understanding that If he conduct himself well would make, him heir of Iks entire Eeafleld estates.

Tha young earl's mother, unlike "Dearest" of little Lord declined to this offer. She was cue of the leaders of the Salvation Army 1 Zealand, and came to the conclusion that her son's religious faith might be imperilled if I were to be brought up by so worldly a woman as Caroline, Countess of Sea.n«Md.

Indeed it is characteristic of the imperious, strong minded and naughty old countess that his attitude in matter, so far from angering, pleased her. and.

On otiifc. Katpaaaf of Austria and also Emperor Ferdinand were bitterly condemned, both at home and abroad, for preserving ln the library of the palace at Vienna, a stuffed negro The story of this is a etranfre one. The Austrian general Prince Lobkowitz. while visiting the palace of a lady of the Sicilian nobility at Messina, had hU attention called to a negro boy, who, captured as a child ln some village raid in the interior cf Africa, had been brought to the coast with his parents and sold into slavery, eventually coming into the hands of this lady of Messina, who employed him as a page boy.

The prince purchased him from her, caused him to be christened with the name of Anstelo Solomon and took him into his service. On his death he passed into the employment of Prince "WenzH Lichtensteln, who took sufficient interest In him to cause lilm. to be educated and raised him from the relatively menial that he had until then occupied. While at Vienna Angelo Solomon managed to win the hand of a young and wealthy widow, who marrlea film, greatiy to the anper of Prince Lichtenstein, who declined to have anything more to do with him. The marriajro turned out quite happily, and resulted in the birth of a daughter, of the name of Josephine, a wonderfully beautiful woman, who, on growing up, married Baron yon and became the mother of the well known poet of that name.

Ang-elo Solomon died in November, 179 ft, and Emprror Francis, who knew the man well and had often conversed wKh him. expressed a queer longing to have his remains. His wife had already predeceased and neither his daughter nnr her husband saw any objection. And so Angelo Solomon, Instead of being was taken off to a stable beneath the imperial library and thereprepared for preservation by being precisely in the same manner as an animal Is treated hy a taxidermist. Afterward he was mounted, ln a grotesque costume and attitude, in a larpe glass case in the library, where the queer old Emperor was wont to work ar.d spend his days; and as Baron yon Feuchtersleben happened to be not only a Court Councillor but one of the private secretaries of the sovereign he had the privilege of gazing upon the stuffed form of his dusky fatherin-law several times a week.

This curiosity might be still in existence were it not for the fact that at the time of the Insurrection in Vienna ln IMS and the storming of the city by the imperial forces under Field MarshaJ Prince "Windlschgraeta. a portion of the palace was burned, Angelo Solomon being among the treasures that fell a prey to the flarr.es. MARQUISE DE FONTENOT. SUCCESSFUL BOROUGH GOVERNMENT. President Cromwell's Administration in Richmond Held Up as a Model.

To the Editor of The Tribune. Sir: President Cromwell of Richmond has set an example that the other Borough Presidents. if the condition of their borough affairs allows them, might well follow. One evening every month Mr. Cromwell presides over a public meeting In the large board room of Borough Hall, at which he- or one of his department chiefs delivers a lecture on city and borough government ln all Its different branches.

The. President Is always very emphatic In his request to people to ask questions, to all of which they get fullest possible answers. At the close of the meeting- the President remains in his office and the different bureau chiefs In their respective offices, all ready and willing to give all possible- explanations and information to all citizens inquiring or complaining about borough affairs. Neither the Commissioners of Accounts, the City Club nor any similar bodies have preferred charges against, or thought It necessary to demand an Investigation of our Borough President. Everything bo far as local gove-nment is concerned Is straight, open and above board hi the Richmond Borough administration of President Cromwell, and untainted by graft.

These, meetings are well attended and much appreciated, and are not only interesting but helpful to good borough government by making people, acquainted with and Interested ln their own government sad establishing a certain and understanding between the two. We would like to persons from New YorK come over here, so we could show them what a decent administration It Is possible to have within the borders of greater New Tork if you only elect the right kind of man for Borough President. Mm- as we have. and then re-elect and re-elect him. The- kind of borough government Is not a failure if administered in the.

right way t'y efficient and honest officials. All city gnvernmfnt. under the present or under a revised charter, will be a failure, if people persist ln electing Incompetent or dishonest officials to administer the government. E. F.

KIPPER New Brighton. States Island. March 9. EDWIN BOOTH AND KING JOHN. To the Editor of The Tribune.

Sir- My pen Is not facile enough to tell you of the priceless pleasure the reading of Mr. Winter a dramatic reviews gives me. It in no new delight. It Is a sensation I have experienced for a quarter of a century, and I am possessed of the hope that I may enjoy the treat for many more years I believe "the day is not far away when the work done by him for the purification and the general betterment of the stage will not only generally appreciated but will be productive of tangible- results. I need hardiv tell you.

therefore, that I read with profit his article dealing with Mr. Mantel! 8 performance of King John. In It is made- the statement that Edwin Booth never acted King John. By mere chance I picked up 'The Sun" and In reading the criticism of the same performance I noticed the reviewer's statement. If one is not in error-King John' was last Been in this country when Edwin Booth enacted the part I then became Interested In that fact, and having the opportunlty presently to look at a copy of The America did so to see what its writer had to say on that subject.

If anything. In the second paraerarih of Its article the statement is made: SnM Edwin Booth played this Shakespearian tragedy twenty-five years ago has 'King John' been "a vour'Ttatement correct? or has your critic's memory failed htm? Vervtruly S. B. New York. March 10.

It would appear that more than -one" Is In error The- point is of importance- only as keep- Ing the theatrical record clear and that, in some ways. is of first importance. An exceptionally ampi, chronology of the life of Edwin Booth contains no record of his having ever acted the part of King John, or even of his ever having appeared In Shakespeare's tragedy of that name. In the absence of any evidence to the contrary die statements alluded to by must be errors of errors as are easily made. la the whirl and rush of dally journalism.

OYSTER BAY TURNS OUT GREETS EX-PRESIDEXT. One Who Wants to Carry Roosevelt Banner Again Not Discouraged. Oyster Bay. March Ex-President Roosevelt and Mrs. Roosevelt -were the guests of the town of Oyster Bay to-night, at a reception held In their honor at the Town Hall.

From till 10:30 p. m. they stood behind the Justice's railing in the Town Clerk's and the townspeople filed by, shaking hands and extending: greetings. It was a great nisht for Oyster Bay. Many of the townspeople had not seen their distinguished first citizen since he became a "private citizen of the prlvatest kind." An hour before the time set for the reception the doors of the Town Hall were besieged.

At each of the churches Lenten services had been held during the evening, and at their close the congregations hurried to the Town Hall. Street venders of novelties had come to town from New York with a large supply of Roosevelt banners and buttons left over from the 1904 campaign and 1906 inauguration, and added not a little to the general animation. They had no trouble in disposing of their left over wares to the villagers, -who seized with eagerness the opportunity to obtain a last souvenir bearing the former President's portrait. Notwithstanding the announcement that the reception was to be given for Oyster Bay residents only, many persons from nearby towns and others from some distance came to the village to attend. Thesefinally obtained admission to the Town Hall and shook hands -with Mr.

and Mrs. Roosevelt. Among them were a number who had known Mr. Roosevelt for many years, and who felt that they were entitled to Join his neighbors in to-night's demonstration of friendship and good will. For every one the ex-President had a hearty greeting, and with many he.

chatted pleasantly for a minute or more. Reminiscences were numerous between Mr. Roosevelt and the older men. who had known htm since his early age. Almost every mother in the village, brought her children, and the former President was especially pleased to see them.

Among those who stood in the- receiving line with Mr. and Mrs. Roosevelt was Congressman W. W. Cocks, who represents this district.

A number of the town's officials and prominent citlsens also were in the party. When Mr. and Mrs. Roosevelt drove up to the town hall there was a rousing cheer from the many persons waiting outside. The former President and his wife hurried Inside, and Mr.

Roosevelt Inspected the arrangements for the reception. These did not please him. and he had the plans changed, so the guests would pass In one door and out another. A tall negro youth was one. of the first in the.

line to file past the ex-President. He remarked to Mr. Roosevelt: "I've carried the Roosevelt banner in two campaigns, and I hope I shall have tho honor of doing bo again." "Time alone will tell whether you are. to afforded that opportunity." Mr. Roosevelt replied.

One young woman passing through the line wore a Teddy bear pinned to her coat. This Mr. Roosevelt noticed at once, and it brought forth a merry laugh and the remark: "All the Teddy bears are. not dead yet. are, they?" When Mr.

Rooeevelt saw the young boys whs particularly pleased. Pome told him they wished him success In shooting lions, and be responded that he knew he would successful. Just as the end of the line, came a bystander, who had been posing an a newspaper reporter, went up to Mr. Roosevelt and. holding out a number of papers, asked htm to nigri his name Mr.

Roosevelt declined, saying dM knour what papers contained. The man dropped the papers at Mr. Roosevelt's and hurried out. They wtro a court directing the taking, of Mr. Roosevelt's deposition In the case of Peter A.

Roosevelt saM that the court could have depoeltlon any time during the, next Fully thousand persons shook hands with Mr and when reception v. over he paid hid enjoyed It as miKh as reesptlons at White House. MUSIC. "THAIS" AT THE MANHATTAN. Ten performances of Massenet's "ThaTs." including lact "venlngr's at the Manhattan Opera have be.en divided t.Ms reason between Mr.

Last night the Manhattan was filled with spectators on every level open to public, and sought mlmlttance In vain. How much of this evident popularity Is due to graceful and lngenloun muslo that limit wrote for the tropical story of this classic voluptuary, and how much to the acting of Its two chief Interpreters. Is a question that could be answered only by giving the opera without Itlss Garden's picturesque physical beauty to enforce the measure of temptation, and without tho superbly effective, -ting an.l singing of Mr.

Renaud in tha character of the. overssalons Cenoblte. This Mr. Hammersteln is not likely to do; but. in any case, there- is credit enough to go round, with ampin recognition of the skilful French composer as well as of the artists at the Manhattan There was little to admire in Miss Garden's vocai doings last evening, but a good deal that was compelling In her personation of pagan Thais.

Mr. Renaud disclosed once more the resources of his delightful and robust art. making every phrase of his music and every syllable of bis text count at Its utmost Mr. Valles was Nlciaa, and both his tones and his style -were at first somewhat pinched, but he warmed to his task as the action proceeded. The Palemon of Mr.

Vleullle was sagely dignified, and there was a new Crobyla In the person of Miss Koelllng, while Miss Ponzano was the Myrtale. Small roles, these of the two Alexandrian women, but they belong to the, picture, and they could have been made more in harmony with It than they were last evening. Mr. Campanlnl conducted, and while at times the orchestral tone was overheavy there were Bpirit and distinction in the Instrumental tono. SUES SPANISH BAEYTONE.
