Alka, V?.?"I can only say that it was
terrible, dreadful, what I had to go
through during nearly 20 years," writes
Mrs. Jane Large, of this place. ' Woman
j ly trouble was back of it all, and would
be now, had it not been lor that best |
medicine on earth for women?Cardui. j
It cured me. I am as well as I ever was, j
and fee! not the Iea6t symptoms of any

I am satisfied that a medicine which
could relieve such a terrible ' a?c as mine
was will also help uiher ladies who suffer i
? i
from su'.h troubles.
I cannot recommend Cardui too highly, j
lls use has done me more good than any ;

HERTFORD TREASURES
PROPERTY OF NATION
I
Credit Is Wrongly Given to Late
Sir John Murray Scott for
Collection.
UV LA MAHQUIalS I)K (O.NT1NOV.
A GOOD dual of nonsense belli
/\ written about the late ^ir .lohn
? ? Murray Scott, who dl*d with
Buch .11..mat. ? suddenm.-ss at llcrtturd
House while engaged In his duties there
os a trustee of the wonderful museum
of, urt treasuros bequcuthed by the
late I-ady Wallace to the British na?
tion. In ltls obituaries it Is even claim?
ed that It Is to him that Great Hrltaln
is indebted for this well nigh price?
less and world-famed collection, form?
ed by the second, third and fourth Mar.
(luosscs of Hertford, and by tho hitter's i
half-brother. Sir Richard vVullace. Hut
this is not so.
Sir John Murray Scott's atory was
an extraordinary one. He was the
son of on obscure English physician In
Small practice at Calais. Tho doctor
had occasion, on 0110 of tho numerous
trips of Sir Richard and Lady Wallace
botwoen England and France, to rend?
er somu slight medical service to Lady
Wallace, after a crossing of the channel
which had been more than usuully
rough, and which had prostrated her
completely with seasickness. The ac?
quaintance thus formed was culti?
vated, and resulted In Sir Richard
eventually taking tho doctor's young;
son Into his employ, first as clerk, and
subsequently as private secretary.
I should not like to say what rolo
John Murray Scott played in tho es?
trangement which ensued between Sir
Richard and hla only aon. Captain
?Wallace, of tho Sixth French Cuiras?
siers, who greatly distinguished him?
self as a gallant oflicor of cavalry In
the War of 1870. against the Germans,
taking part In tho historic chargo at
Sedan. But the fact remains that the
estrangement between fathor and son,
each of them a Ono fellow In his way,
datod from the moment that John Mur?
ray Scott became a member of the
household of Sir Richard Wallace, and
that Captain Wallace died at enmity
v. 1th both hla parents.
When Sir Richard died It was found
that ho had bequeathed the whole of
his vast wealth to bjo widow, a lady
of French birth and parentage whom
he had married many years after the
birth of their aon, ths lnttor and his
boys being therefore prevented by this
bar sinister from Inheriting the bar?
onetcy of Sir Richard.
It was generally believed that Ludy
Wallace would at her death bo found
to have, provided for her grandchildren,
and llkcwlso that she would In a meas?
ure restoro to the now terribly im?
poverished Marqulsate of Hertford at
least a portion of the Immense prop?
erty of which it wa6 divested by the
fourth marquis. In order to onrlch his!
half-brother. Sir Richard Wallaco. thej
fifth marquis being meroly a dtstnnlj
cousin. But both these expectations,
were disappointed. Ijjdy Wallace left
the art treasures nt Hertford Square
to the English nation. In compliance

poclety, one ?nd all. had subjected I.rf?dy
Wallace to the most cruol ostracism
during her lifetime, on account of hor
having lived with Sir Hichard for so
many years before their marriage. Sir
Klchard bitterly resented this, and In?
stead of donating his collodions to
the nation himself, as he had at one
time Intended doing, ho arranged that
the treasures should bo bequeathed by
his widow and In her namo to tho Eng?
lish people, by whom, despite bla muni,
tlccnt charities, she had been so badly
treated. With regard to the widowed
Lady Wallace's fortune, amounting to
some 120.000.000. sho made no provi?
sion at all for her grandchildren, but
left the whole of It to John Murray
Scott. Thero was a talk of efforts be- i
lug mado to upset the will, on tho score
of undue Influoncc, und on the ploa that
I>ady Wallace after the death of herj
husband, was more or less unbalanced)
In mind. But her bequest of tho Uert-1
ford House collection of art treasures;
to the nation, and the Intimation sproad
to the effect that tho private secretary
had been Instrumental In securing this
disposition of the museum, rendered It
Improbable in tho extromo that any
proceedings against him would be
successful, so general wus the senti?
ment In his favor, and noun woro at?
tempted. The only people who ex?
pressed themselves freely were Lord
nnd Lady Hertford, when thoy beheld
John Murray Scott's mother and sisters
I appearing at court, decked out In the|
historic Jewels of tho Hertford family, j
London aocloty showed Itself friend-]
ly In tho extreme to tho now ihultr
millionaire, and ho was taken up and1
patronized by a number of prominent'
poople. Including tho then Prince ofj
I Wulea. who had had an opportunity
of observing him when staying with
Sir Ulchard for the shooting at Suit
I bourne Hull. Murray Scott waa In]
?course of lime created a k.light com-j
! mauder of the Order of the Bath, and a
barouoL on tho plea of his services ir
securing tho Hertford Houeo collection
for the nation, and for hla herp in its I
arrangement.
Ambassador Lelahman and tho mem?
bers of his staff at Berlin are by no
moana the only American diplomats ac-'
credited to the various powers of Con?
tinental Europe who have adopted'
gold-embroidered uniforms. In each'
case It has been done at the Instance!
of the court at which these envoys arol
stationed, and to tho wishes of which!
thoy aro expected to defer, at any rate,!
In mattem ceremonial. Thus, when thai
court goes Into mourning, tho einbas-l
slca. aa forming a part thereof, are
supposed to go Into mourning as well, I
although they have had no relation'
whatsoever to the personage mourned.!
What Is nocessnry, however, Is that
the Culled Slates govorumont should
devise regulation uniforms for Its dip?
lomatic! servants abroad, oaoh uniform
dcdulng the oMicial rank of the wearer,
the cut, the amount of gold braid, etc.,
being Hubjoct to tho tasio of the Pres
Ident und of tho State Department, In-:
stead of being left to that of the en?
voy. Aa the matter stands now. tho
various uniformu worn by aome of tho
ambassadors, ministers, secretaries,
etc., of tho United States, on the Con?
tinent of Europe, have no resemblance
to each other, and In one Instance, at
any rate, tho oxtravnga.ni quantity of
gold braid, cords, tassels, feathers, and
eo forth, has acluully suggested the
musical comedy stage, rather than the
diplomatic service of one of the
leading great powers of the world.
Diplomatic uniforms are no more
incompatible with republican Institu?
tions than are tho uniforms of the
army, navy, the National Guard, tho
constabulary and the polloo, or the
silken robea of the Judiciary of this
country. Uniforms have always hean
worn by the diplomatic representa?
tives and by the consular officials of
the republic of France, by tboso of all
the Central and South American re?
publics, and now by those of tho now
Portuguese republic. There Is really
no reason whatsoever why the adop?
tion of a regular uniform for the dip?
lomatic and consular service of tho
United Stales abroad should be longer
deferred.
A hunting field romance has been I
brought, to a c.loso by tho death of!
John Maunsell Itlchnrdson. tho second
husband of Victoria, Countess of Yur-j
borough, tuid stepfather of tho pres?
ent earl of that Ilk. Member of ait j
old county family, ho played In the'
Harrow cloven, against Eton/ and In
that of Cambridge against Oxford, dur?
ing three successive years, represent?
ed Lincolnshire In Parliament for sev?
eral yiitrs as a Conservative and was
one ol tho most brilliant horsemen of
his time, enjoying the distinction of
winning the Grand National Stocple
chase twice, drat on Disturbance, In
1873, and the second tlmo on Captain I
Machell'a horse rtougny, In 1874. Inj
1S75 ho undertook tho mastership of!
tho famous Brocklesby Hunt for tho!
then recently widowed Countess of
Yarborough. during the minority of
her son, and six years later married
her. She was quite as devoted to
hunting os hlmaolf, and their union
waa an exceptionally .happy one, both
being extremely popular.
The Brocklesby Hunt Is tho oldest
established pack of foxhounds In tho
kingdom, since It Is known to have
been In existence for more than liio
years prior to 1700, since which time
Us records have been carefully pre?
served. Its ownership has always boe.n
vested In the proprietor of Brocklesby]
Park, nnd the present Enrl of Vnr^j
borough, who has Inherited nil tils
mother's lovo of horsos, Is the pres?
ent master. Brocklesby comes to Lord
Yarborough through tho Pelham:', who.
hulling from Sussex, settled there Ir.
the rolgn of Queen Elizabeth. Charles
Pelham, last of tho Brocklesby Pel
hums, died without male Issue, leaving
a daughter, who married Francis An?
derson, descended from Sir Edmund
Anderson, Lord Chief Justice In the
reign of Queen Elizabeth. The grand?
son of this union assumed tho surname
and arms of Polhnm in lieu of Ander?
son, und was created Lord Yarborough
In 170*.
