PAUPER CLAIMS
ROYAM’AREHTS
LONDON, May 21.—A pauper of
sixty, Augustus West by name, who
became an Inmate of Wandsworth
Infirmary the other day, claims to be
a direct descendant of George II.
He declares that his grandmother was
"Princess Lavinia” of Cumberland,
who died in 1871 after unsuccessful
ly appealing to Queen Victoria for
recognition of her claim to be of roy
al blood.
The Cumberland claim was first
made in 1817, when a Mrs. Olive
Serres alleged that she was the
daughter of Henry Duke of Cumber
land, brother of George III, and grand
son of George II. The question was
raised in the House of Commons, but
her claim was rejected and she died
in 1834. Her dauughter Lavi'nia’s
subsequent efforts to establish her
royal lineage were supported by many
famous men.

WOMENTO MARRY
ST. PETERSBURG, May 21.—The
new Director of Posts and Tele
graphs has suddenly become the most
popular official in Russia among the
women folks. When he took office
he was bombarded with protests
against the long standing regulation
which forbade women clerks either
to marry outside of the service or
to select their husbands from a differ
ent grade of the service than that in
which they themselves were employ
ed. He has now not only abrogated
this rule, but has cancelled a mim
ilar official “recommendation” that
male clerks should observe the same
restrictions.
To Organize Land Bank.
ALBANY, N Y„ May 21.—A confer
ence is being held here today, at
tended by representatives of saving
and loan associations from all parts
of the state, to formulate plans for
the organization of the Land Bank
of the State of ew York, authorized
by the new banking law. The law
permits its organization by-4bn or
more savings and loan associations
having sufficient capital, and upon its
establishment it will have power to
sell bonds, constituting its own obli
gation. The theory on which the Land
Bank is to be organized is based
somewhat on the same idea as tl^}
creation of federal reserve banks, by
which their reserves are to be com
bined for the benefit of all. Governor
Glynn has been an ardent champion
of the plan.

The differences existing between
the Victoria Baseball team and the

justed and the Victoria team will re
majn in the League, at least for the
present. The league assumes the re
sponsibility for rent of the ball park
at Victoria in case the club is unable
to pay it themselves. An endeavor
will be made to secure some new
blood for the team in order to bring
it up to an equal footing with the
balance of the teams in the league.
