LORD PERCY'S TOMB 'Hereditary Right to Burin! in Westminster Abbey. VCopyrlsit. 1810. by the BrentwoaS Company) Lord Percy's death In Paris last week ptrve*? ' •■ call attention to the fact that the <sucal house of Northumberland,- to which he belonged. Is the only one of the British peerages which .still retain the hereditary r-'- '■■-c of entombment within the walls of tVestminster Abbey. Formerly many great families possessed this right. But they have either become extinct or have allowed th<s privilege to lapse. The Northumberland vault in the abbey Is situated beneath the fit. Nicholas Chapel, and trie last entomb ment there was that of the father of the present C'jk* •■ - .:;-. 1. The obituaries published here of the late Lord Percy are rather misleading, pine* they .convey an impression of effeminacy of appearance and character. Now, Lord Percy while at Oxford was known for his prowess as an all round athlete, which, however, did not prevent him from carry Ing •■ first class honors and the Newdegato prize for poetry- After leaving the uni versity he won some distinction as a trav eller, and had some rather exciting experi ences while exploring the most remote por tions of Asiatic Turkey, experiences calling rot only for a considerable amount of cour uce. but also of endurance. The two books which he wrote upon this little known portion of The world have, since been ac cepted as standard works. The very fact that he should have been V nder Secretary of State for Foreign Af fairs. representing the Foreign Office In the House of Commons, indicates that he was a trrtin of considerable cleverness: while the larc* majorities which he was able to ob tain for his election to Parliament, not from fny part of the country where his family possessed territorial influence, but from the metropolitan district of Kensington, epeak *~U for his .simplicity and democracy of manner. He was, however, singularly un emotional : that, too, In a. country where the men. especially those of his particular •■•crld, rather pride themselves on being un emotional. At one time he was reported to b- engaged to be married to the daugh ter of a Newcastle physician of the name of Jones But there was a good deal of oppo sition on the part of his family, notably of his mother, who is a sister of the Duke of Argyll, and the projected union did not ma terialize Dying unmarried and childless, it Is his sGldJer brother, Lord Alan Percy, who now becomes next heir to the dukedom and to the great family estates; also to the chief ow-nership of the great London banking house of Drummond. Lord Alan Percy Is m captain of the Grenadier Guards, is about thirty years old, and has lately been put ling Ina period of special service with the Egyptian army. The amount of the ducal fortune and es tates may be estimated from the fact that the father of the present duke spent the sum r>t $3,000,000 in building for his laborers' cot tages, to each of which half an acre of land nag attached. He spent a still larger sum In the erection and restoration of churches, while the amounts that he devoted to the construction of roads, bridges and drainage •works on his estates reached a still larger Mini. The dake-has a number of country t eatF, the best known of which are Syon House, near London, where Charles II held rourt during the Plague, and Alnwick Castle, In Northumberland, a noble and majestic pile, one of the finest existing specimens of the old border castle of the Middle Ages, and the only historic building In Great Britain— excepting "Windsor. War ■» i'-k Castle, the Tower of London and "Westminster Abbey— which was in existence over a thousand years ago. It is a perfect mine of art treasures which are outside the ken of the ordinary art experts, and among ether objects of interest there is th« veloci pede, the first of its kind (forerunner of the rawiern bicycle). ■ and Invented by the sec end Duke of Northumberland of the pres ent creation, during . the time which he ppent in England between his service under Frederick the Great in the Seven Years* War in Germany and his participation in the American War of Independence.

NOT "BARON" YON SCHILLER. Since the Frederick Joseph yon Schiller, convicted deserter from the United "States army, who was arrested again last week In Ne-w York in connection with, an assault upon an elderly banker of the name of Cassius M. Wicker, declares himself to be a descendant of Germany's famous poet, end inasmuch as this assertion has re ceived widespread publicity, it may be just as well to state In the most emphatic manner that his pretensions are entirely without foundation. In fact, there is do Jiving descendant of the poet In existence. =»ndl the only remaining link with the bard is old Baroness Mathilde yon Schiller, the childless widow of the late Baron Fred erick Ludwig yon Schiller, who died as • major of the Austrian army in IST 7. There is only one person to-day who is entitled to style himself Baron yon Schil ler, namely, the thirty-two-year-old Baron Adolf Schiller yon Herdern, an Austrian. who makes his home at Trient. The Schil lers of Herdern are an old Tyrolese fam ily and have no connection whatsoever, •yen of the remotest character, with the poet. Ab there is no one else who is en titled to style himself Baron yon Schiller it naturally follows that the tsoi-disant Baron Frederick Joseph yon Schiller, man ager for a "theatrical company, who re ceived a sentence of three years' impris onment on Governor's Island for deser tion, h"s no more warrant to style him self baron than to describe himself as a descendant of the poet. There used to be another family of th-» Ecbillers of Freiburg-in-Breisgau, the 110 •Mlity of which dated back to the fifteenth century. But the family has been extinct for nearly two hundred years, and has no connection with that of the poet. The litter was the first of his own house to receive the rank of noble of the German Empire, in ISO 2. It was his son. Karl yon Kchiller. head forester of the kingdom of Wurteraberg. who was advanced to the renk of baron by the King of Wurtemberg in 1845, and he had but one on the late Baron Frederick Louis yon Schiller, who died childless, and whose widow still sur vives. MONTENEGRO AS A BORROWER. Montenegro has just made her debut »mor«? the borrowers on the money markets of Europe, and is demanding, through Bol f>n Eroihers, of Old Broad street, in Lon don, subscriptions to a loan of 8,000,000 rrowne— that is to say, about J4,</jO,OOO-tho bonds, which are on the State Treasury at Cettinje, bearing Interest at 5 per cent. It is stated that th*- proceeds of the loan will be applied to the repayment of th« «xlsttn£ loans and chert date(j bills of ,| > /rovernment and for the purpose of con f mictlng-. roadf? and other public works. But I cannot recommend any one to In vert, their money in Montenegrin •jecuritlep. Before they part with their -ash they vould do wall to apply for information to the Austrian government, especially to the r—tal authorities, which have had no nnd of trouble In reco\-ering from Montenegro the amount of money paid out by Austrian rotrtoffices for Montenegrin postofli. • or der-?. These payments assumed at one time an 'extent ajtogether out of proportion to the cize and wealth of the Montenegrin population, and investigation brought to light the fact that the Prince of Montenegro, •*!'ho Is an inveterate gambler and always hard up. had adopted the In&enloui device •of.-, dispatching postoflice orders from Ot •ir^e to secret agents ..; Ms la Vienna; rtu<Japeet arid in nistny othnr bip c it!«?H of >.u»trti.ajd Hungary, where tliey collected the money /rom the Austro-Ilunjariaii post offices on the strength of the orders and then carried it back to •'Montenegro and handed it to the prince. Needless to add that he had never himself "paid cash for the postofflce orders at: Cettinje. but had con tented himself with merely giving his name. He. turned a deaf ear to all the, demands of the Austro-Hungarlan postoffice author ities for repayment, and it was not until postal traffic between the two countries had been suspended by the Austrian govern ment that old Emperor Francis Joseph In terfered and himself paid out of his privy purse the amount for which the Prince of the Black Mountain was indebted to the Austro-Hungarian postal departments. This is by no means the only occasion on which the ruler of Montenegro has been ex tricated from financial difficulties and scrapes by the chivalrous old Emperor of Austria. Alexander II and Alexander 111 of Russia were obliged to keep their purses constantly open in order to satisfy the ap peals for loans from Nicholas of Montene gro, who has completely exhausted the In dulgence of Nicholas 11, and of his own son-in-law, Victor Emmanuel of Italy, in the matter of borrowed money never re paid. As the government of Montenegro remains to all Intents and purposes vested in th« prince, despite his loudly heralded grant of a constitution, the money subscribed to the Montenegrin funds now floating on the money market in London will go into the pocket of the ruler of the Black Mountain, and investors will probably have to whistle, not merely, for their capital, but even for their interest. WHY THIS MINISTER WAS CHOSEN. Alfpsandro Mattioli-rasqualinl. whwe name- I mentioned th<» other day in these iMeters as having been appointed by King Victor Emmanuel to succeed old General Ponzo-Vaglla as minister of the royal house and as grand master and chief dig nitary of the court of the Quirinal, owes his promotion to the remarkably clever Bnd tactful work which he did in connec tion t* ith the troublesome state insurance questlona arising from the employment of Italian labor in Germany. It was a prob lem which might easily have envenomed th« relations between Berlin and Rome, owing to the lack of elasticity and the narrow mindedness of German bureaucracy. But, thanks to his diplomacy, every difficulty was smoothed away. This work brought. him into frequent contact with the King, who was so much impressed with his judg ment, his conciliatory manner, and, above all, wi<:h his lucidity, that he determined to intrust him with the management of his en tire court, a position that requires the ut most skill, cleverness in handling difficult problems and suavity, mingled with de cision of character. It Js the first instance in the history of the House of Savoy, or, indeed, of any of the great reigning houses of Europe, of a commoner being appointed to such an offio<\ which has hitherto always been restricted to nobles. Mattioli-Pasqualini was for many years first secretary of the Italian Embassy at Berlin, repeatedly acting as chargfe d'affaires during the absence of his chief, old Count Lanza. From there he was transferred to the. equally delicate post of consul general at Budapest, a post which, in spite of its denomination, is virtually that of diplomatic envoy to the Magyar people and government- Then he was sent as minister plenipotentiary to Chili, and, after a brief stay at Santiago, was recalled by Signor Tittoni as the one man of all others qualified to solve the difficulties which had arisen in connection with the state In surance of the thousands of Italian labor ers in Germany. Nowhere has his appoint ment given more satisfaction tha.n at the court of the Kaiser, where hft is held in agreeable remembrance. MARQUISE DE FONTENOY. MATTHEW ARNOLD'S NIECE HERE.

Miss Nance O'Neil, the California actress, who has made the greatest success of her career In . David Belasco's "The Lily,". an adaptation from the French of Pierre Wolf and Gaston Leroux, talked yesterday of her self and her part. Mies O'Neil in this play appears as a pale woman of thirty-five, with every- vestige ot her beauty gone save the exquisite chisel ling of her features. She wears her luxu riant hair brushed back In severe fash lon. Her ears are adorned with -huge ear rings, and her dress is severely plain, yet with a bit of lace hers and there as Miss O*Nefre tribute to the love of the beautiful which she is certain that Odette must have had. She feels the part,' "oh, so keenly." she said. She fancies the awful loneliness of Odette shut up in her father's ancient castle, and over which, since her mother's death, Odette had been mistress. There Miss O'Neil lived Odette's life with her father and brother and sister, faithfully attending to the duties of the household, eating her heart out In solitude for love of the man whom her father had forced her to give up. When the great scene conies. in the third act Miss O'Neil is Odette rising in a splendid crescendo of wrath against the father who presumed .to condemn his younger daughter Christian© because she had dared to love clandestinely a man of whom her father did not approve. Miss O'Neil as Odette was superb in her wrath, perfect in control of dramatic force, com municating by sheer art the expression of power in reserve, which, in her whole career as an actress, she had never shown before. This American tragedienne had played great parts in "The Fires of St. John. " "Judith" and "Magda." but she had lacked the finish of the art which she is display ing to-day. Hitherto she has shown great dramatic power, but it has been too evi dent; she has held too little in reserve. What has enabled her to change after sev enteen years of acting? Miss O'Neil says it is the influence of Mr. Belasco's company, of her surround ings, of the advice and encouragement that Mr. Belasco has given her. She is in the seventh heaven of delight. After a. stormy career, in which she has had her suc cesses— ajid great ones— and her failures, and has been visited by troubles far more serious than the average woman on the stage is compelled to meet, she feels that the worst is over, and that success has at last come to her. She Is not unmindful of the past. She is grateful for what has been done for her by others, but she is happy now in what she considers an ideal company. "Oh, it is all so wonderful," she said. "Mr. Belasco's master mind permeates everything. We are all just like- one big family, and when he is not here we feel that something is wrong. When I received Mr. Belasco's telegram while I was spend ing my summer vacation In England I was overjoyed. He told me that he had always believed in me, and that ho wanted me to join his company. Now I am here, and I feel that I am under conditions that will develop the best in my art. "I have never before played in New York for more than a few weeks. Now I shall be here most of the time. I am to live in New York, which I love. I have become a philosopher. I believe that everything comes to one at the proper time." The tragic face of this California woman was lighted with inspiration. Her hair re flected the golden light of sunset. Her Pacific-blue eyes looked into the distance. "I remember the first time. I appeared on the stage," she said, in a voice that seemed to come from the sea. "I was only -sixteen years old. It was at the, Alcazar Theatre, San Francisco. I was under the manage ment of McKee Rankin. I played the part of a nun in a dramatization of the life of Sofia Lyon called 'Sarah.' I remember how I felt when the curtain went up and I saw that great audience before me. I wanted to run away. My first lines were: 'Nation Baudet, you are dismissed from San Lazar.* That was in 1892. I played that >ear all through California and in other parts of the. West. My first success was In Kansas as Nancy Sykes in 'Oliver Twist.' "I first came East in 1595. T played in Washington in 'The Bachelor's Baby.' My part was that of an ingenue. I toured the East in this play. In 1896 I played 'True to Life* in New York. After a season on the road I came back to the Murray Hill Theatre, where I played in repertory for seventeen weeks. In the summer of 1898 I played in 'Magda' for the first time, in Minneapolis. I went back to the California Theatre, San Francisco, that season, and played my first engagement as * star In my native state. I toured California and went to Honolulu for four weeks. There I enjoyed one of the most wonderful visits of my life. I met a number of my girl friends wil.h whom I had been educated, and I was entertained by Prince David and honored by the people. "When I went back to California I de cided to go to London, where T played in 'The Jewess.' In 1900 I went for the first time to Australia. I played 'Magda' and other pieces eighteen months In the col onies. I went to South Africa for six months. I was in Cape Town at Christmas during the Boer war. when the town was under martial law. I played at the first morning performance ever given in Cape Town — It was a benefit for the English sol diers. The Mayor gave me a bouquet bear ing the British colors. "I shall never forget the trip from Cape Town to Kimberley; all along the railroad the troops were encamped. I stopped at the various cities on the way up to Cairo to play In repertory. At Cairo I played 'Map-da,' 'Camille.' 'La. Tosca' and 'Fedora,' and was presented to the Khedive. 1 spent my vacation in the desert. From there I went to London, where I played for four weeks in repertory. '•One of my most successful engagements was at the Grand Opera House in San Francisco in the fall of 1902, when I played for ten weeks, during the whole- of which time th« theatre was so crowded that the orchestra had to play on the stage. In 1901 I came back Bast. I played 'Magda,' 'Hedda Gabler,' 'The Fires of St. John.' •Judith,* 'Elizabeth.* 'Ingomar,* 'Peg Wof flngton,* 'Camille' and 'Guy Mannering.' " This engagement, it may be stated, from the writer's own recollection, was a great triumph for Miss O'Neil, lasting through the greater part of the winter. She played in almost every prominent theatre in Bos ton, remaining at each one as long as other bookings permitted. In recalling thesfc happy days Miss O'Xeil said: "I shall never forget the honor of appear ing on the stage with Mr. Thomas Bailey Aldrich on the night that I first produced his 'Judith,* which he had written for me. It was one of the most beautiful moments of my life to receive with him the applause of Boston playgoers." In recalling li"» - .second trip to Australia, In .Tun**, ]&0«, Miss <:)'N>il spokf* of v most unusual demonstration. On the night pre vious to the opening of her play she ap I »ared in- ■ bo* at the theatre. When the entered somebody shouted: "Three cheer* for Nance O'Neill" and the whole audience, remembering her /Irst appear ance there -ix years before, rofc in their goals to 'applaud and cheer. , ; , Just before in* Kan Frnncisco earth qi'iako Miss O'Neil had made all prepara tions for a tour of Japan. Chine, India nnd South Africa, but all her scenery and costumes were destroyed, and -ii ( ' had to give UP the trip. in the fall of 1907 Miss O'Neil went Into vaudeville, to play for a Bcasbn on the KHlli cl-«"iH.

Shi waa forced Into a lawsuit with the Shuberts when she accepted an "offer to go with Mr. , Feins' ■• "In Fpeaklr.K of what her success had meant to her, Miss O'Neil said, in tho words of "Zaza," "'Many heartaches, a great deal or 'hard work and a little luck."

New Theatre will not be lowered, as far as could be learned there yesterday. Carrere & Hasting?, who were reported to havo the work in charge, have received no orders from the founders, it ■was said. To lower the ceiling, according to reliable information, would cost $200,000. Professor Sabine, of Harvard University, an authority on acoustics, has said that it is not necessary. That some changes in 1 construction may be made during the com ing summer is possible. At present, how ever, plans are indefinite, and no order* have been given for anything further than to carry out the original plans for a theatre on the roof. Experience so far has shown the founders that the house is not suitable for the pro duction of opera, and no opera will be given there next year. It has also been ; shown that the second balcony is too far away from the stage, and it will probably b« abolished by reconstructing the wall of the theatre inside the balcony. The foyer stalls will probably be extended forward so as to be flush with the boxes below. Th» orchestra will probably not be altered. The changes to be made, it was said, will not be because of faulty acoustics, but because of the difficulty of seeing from remote sec tions of the theatre the expression on the faces of the players. Such alteration will reduce the seatftfg capacity from two to throe hundred. MISS ACKER'S WEDDING. Wednesday.

Chandler in La Follette's Mag azine. . . It is refreshing to those Republicans who hope and believe that their party will be true to reform and yet remain in po litical power at the North and in the na tion to realize that no step backward has yet been taken by the new administration. When President Taft on June 17 last an nounced (1) that he recommended a na tional tax on the income of all corpora tions, thus subjecting them to national su pervision, and (2) that he favored taking the vexed question of an income tax out from the province of the Supreme Court by a constitutional amendment giving Con gress unqualified power to impose such a tax, he gladdened the hearts of all earnest and .sensible Republicans, and offered him self as the natural leader of the radical reform Republicans, against the malefact ors of great wealth who had been corrupt ing society and politics through their un lawful corporation monopolies. if he Is by unwise and egotistic Republicans re jected as such leader the injury done to the cause of radical reform will be their grievous fault and a misfortune to him and the country. . . . Senator Foot, in a letter to Silas Mcßee. editor of "The Churchman." says: - "I am coming to think that capacity for united effort to obtain a common object of primary importance, as distinguished from strife about formal or comparatively un important differences, depends upon the stage of development In civilization which the people or the members of any great organization have reached. Every great nation seems to pass at some period through a storm belt of incapacity to unite. The races that are capable of de velopment beyond that point rule the world; the races that are not capable of it go down." Let us reformers apply this test to our selves. If we want to get ten things and find that we can now get only nine, let us sincerely and earnestly work for the nine and keep pressing on for the ten. Do not on any pretence help defeat the nine be cause we cannot now get the ten. Let us be "practical men" in a good sense. In this life it seldom happens that compli cated events result exactly in the way and to the same extent favorably that we wish them to. Wonders are worked in a myste rious way. ,■"•'• Since Republican reform b«»gsin with the opening of this century, great things have happened, which I never dared hope to see in my lifetime. Let us go forward co operatively to achieve greater results. My own views are more radical on most meas ures of reform than those of any other re formers. But I recognize the necessity for co-operation and am willing to wait for a few things if we can now accomplish many things, though not all. And reform Republicans should try to do their work if possible, while keeping their party in power in the Northern States and the na tion. President Taft and his Cabinet, without insanity or violence, are willing to work with us on nine-tenths of our de mands. It will be the part of wisdom for us to work with them for the nine, and without imperilling the party go on to achieve success for the tenth in the ab sence of their help and against their op position.

Mr. Walter Damrosch provi-ied a first hearing, ? > far as New York's m»?lc lov ers are concerned, to a Slnfonletta, in D. by George V\ . Chadvrlck. besides ofTcrins a delightfully stirring wnaatlon In the form of a performance of Grieg's pianoforte con certo by Mme. Carreflo and an Interesting study in contrasts In two compositions by Richard ' 3trauss— his Serenade for wind instruments and his symphonic poem, "Don Juan." . There a.« a lesson In th» prettily and graciously melodious Sinfcnletta. 5 To •write such music nowadays requires forti tude—bravery almost ; Socratlan; for tho composers and musical essayists who have arrogantly aMunied the rlsr-t of dlrectiris: the world's thoughts and tastes have inpc been shrieking their condemnation of aU that is natural and simply beautiful in musical expression. Mr. Cfcadwlck'a musli Is academical, and academic Influences- are •anathema in minds .it':;" 1 '! •■• modern ideas. Mr. Damrosch was a bra" man to produce It. although his audience— a fine one. by the way — enjoyed it. and again a I rave) man to exhibit the academic stage of Richard Strauss a development in the Ser enade. It was gratifying to observe th it In the final piece he illustrated a maturer phase of the Munich composer's genius, but comforting that the annotator of his pro gramme did not ask the listeners to note the color of the hair of one of Don Juan's victims, as Mr. Mottl once said the com poser asked him to do. It was possible to enjoy the symphonic poem as a fine bit of music, pur* and simple, unperplexed by ..he question. "Where is th© red-headed lady?". Inasmuch, however, as th« annotator in formed us that there are two moi irises in RafTs symphony. "In the Forest." 'and that the progress from the . "Slnfonla Do mestlca" to ■'Salome'" illustrated the short step '"from the bathtub to the cistern" in the development of the "symphonic poem," it Is to be wondered at thai ho missed the opportunity to point out what part of -lv music delineated the lady of the auburn locks.
