EARL SEFTON'S RESIGNATION. V DISAGREEMENT WITH THE GOVERN- I MENT. In consequence of being "out of accord with the extreme measures of the Government," the Earl of Sefton has felt it incumbent upon him to resign his position aa Master of the Horse. The rumour had got abroad that the earl was anxious to retire in order that he might spend more time in the country, and it was in consequence of this that the issue of the announcement above quoted was authorised. The late Master of the Horse was anxious to stand right with the public. It is no secret that the earl has for some time been out of sympathy with the policy of the present Ministry, extreme as it has become.

"Incurably Dyspeptic." Her Greatest Fear Dispelled; I Acute Indigestion cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills "I was a martyr to Indigestion three years ago, and at last began to fear that I was incurably dyspeptic," said Mrs. Fowler, of Laurel Dene, Teddington, Middlesex. "I had no appetite for any food, and had to force myself to eat. In the end every morsel of food caused agony through palpitation of the heart and flatulence. I had no life in me and became the victim of Nervous Disorders, without strength, pale and trembling. "I began to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People when at the worst stage, and after a while my I strength returned, I enjoyed food and could eat hearty meals and digest them. To-day I am well, happy and grateful, the Indigestion dispelled and complete health restored by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." Anaemia, Indigestion, Rheumatism, Eczema, and Skin Diseases, Nervous Disorders, Neuralgia, St. Vitus' Dance, Paralysis, and Ladies' Ailments have been cured in countless instances by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People.

NEWS OF THE WORLD. 1 ■ T Rochdale Socialists have decided to run a candidate for the borough at the general i election. Tho death occurred at New Brighton on S'rnday of Alderman Joseph Ball, who was "Lord Mayor of Liverpool last year. Europeans are leaving the towns on the Morocco coast in very large numbers, and about 1,000 refugees have arrive at Gibraltar. Sitting as vacation judge, Mr. Justioe Pickford on Wednesday made absolute the decree nisi granted in thirty-three divorce suiis. An attempt has been made to blow up Glena- hira Lodge, on Lord Arshtown's estate in Co. Waterford. A bomb was exploded under Lord Ashtown's bedroom window. A correspondent writing to the "Times" on the subjoct of the Monte Car!o tragedy raises the question whether this "plague t-pot" of Europe should not be ended. Five wills were proved on Wednesday for estates aggregating £ 1,523,387. Of these and other wills proved during the day the Treasury will receive £ 200,000 in death duties. The Progre«3sive-Socialists confess that the London County Council steamboat service has been a failure. Its future will be considered at the close of the present treason. Several members of the Police Commission are obtaining first-hand ovklence by paying sur- prise visits to police stations and mingling with crowds to watch police methods. Mr. William Goodman, of Boston, U.S.A., lias consumed 2,920 quarts of water during the last twelve montlis. He has abstained from beer, tea. coffee, and all other liquids in order to cure himself of indigestion. King Edward arrived at Caesel on Wednes- day, where he was welcomed by the Emperor William. Their Majesties drove to the Castle of Wilhelmshohe, where, in the evening, a banquet was given by the Kaiser. A trramcar came into collision with a hoarse in Nottingham on Wednesday, and wrecked it, throwing the coffin, which contained the body of a child, into the street. Several of the mourners' carriages narrowly escaped being wrecked. The Rev. James Dixon, vicar of Willesden, announces in his "Parish Magazine" that he will be unable to keep a staff of clergy in future. Last year he had to raise E200 on his life assur- ance to pay the salaries of his curates, and this year he has no means of obtaining the money at all. Calmly and bravely Mrs. Leslie James, of Rhodes Willis, a native of Sunderland, met her fato on Wednesday—her forty-first birthday-- when. in Cardiff Gaol, she was lianged for the murder of a baby given into her charge for adoption, the executioners being t.he brothers Pierpont, Motor cycles and part,; continue to be im- ported in large quantities (says the Motor Cycle"), E58,000 worth of complete machines and parts having been imported during the first seven months of 1907. The exports of British machines for t.he same period amounted to ;630.777- an increase of £ 9,770 in two yeara. A Church Army official, walking in West London, was beeought for help by an aged couple, of whom the man bore the legend, "Totally blind," while the woman led him by the hand. The following day, in another part of London, the same officer again encountered the couple. This time the woman was "blind," and her companion acted as guide. Presiding at the meeting of the South Metro- politan Gas Company at Cannon-street. Hotel on Wednesday. Sir George Livesey eaid that, by wiping out the coal duty Mr. Asquith had reduced the tax, not on the Briton, but on the foreigner. It seems to me to be suicidal for England to deplete itself of its capital," he declared. "When our coal is done, England is done, and as our ooal gets dearer it become harder for every one in England to live." Mr. Asquith explains an income-tax puzzle in Wednesday's Parliamentary papery which is im- portant for rectors, teachers, etc., who have official bouses. Where, he says, the annual value of the house forms part of the income, tax will be 9d. in the pound, and where "an employe is required to reside in a particular house as part of the duties of his office and for the purposes of that office," in accordance with a legal decision the tax will be at the 16. rate. Undeterred by the action of the Home Secre- tary, who declined to advise his Majesty to grant the application of the Urban Council at Milton- next-Sittingbourne to rename that town Milton Royal, the Council are now seeking to adopt the appellation of Milton Regis. To this pro- posal the Home Office offers no objection. The Council's chief object is to free their town from the indignity of being described "next Sitting- bourne." Some interesting particulars of the revenue and expenditure of the Transvaal are given in the White-paper issued by the- Colonial Office on Wednesday night, relating the 25,000,000 loan. The estimated revenue for 1907-8 is E4,469,000 and the estimated expenditure £ 4,520,000, leaving a deficit of £ 51.000 It is stated that the administration has in oouree- of contempla- tion new sources of revenue, such as the amend- ment of the death duties. The St. Petersburg correspondent of the "Tribune" says: ahe Ministry of Commu- nications instructed the Chief Inspector of Railways, M. Gorchakof, some time ago, to examine the accounts of the Siberian line, and he has now made his report, in which he states that he has discovered frauds involving more than £ 1,000,000 in the trannport branch alone. In the other branohes he declares that the defalcations are beyond calculation. A Transatlantic wireless telegraph service will be opened by the Marconi Company in Septem- ber. Messages will be transmitted from the station at Clifton, Ireland, to Cape Breton, Canada, and the rates will be 5d. a word, plus land cf targes. The Prerw rate will be 2J. a word, plus land charges. Both are little more than half present cable rates. Messages for wireless transmission may be handed in at any post offioe, addressed in the ordinary way. At Wandsworth on Tuesday morning Richard Brinkley was executed for the murder of Mr. and Mrs. Beck, at Croydon, by poisoning them. Brinklev placed pruesie acid in a bottle of atout with the intention, it was submitted at the trial, to murder a young man Parker. and Mr. and Mrs. Beck partook of some of the stout. with fatal result. Pierpoint was the executioner, and when the bolt was drawn death was instantaneous. So far as was ascertained, Brinkley made no confession. Brinkley, in a letter written on Monday to his solicitor, de- clared his innocence and described his own fate as murder. Sir William Henry Hornby shewed two hundred and fifty visitors from Blackburn over the Houses of Parliament on Monday and he expects many more during the week. The hon.. Baronet long ago established the kindly custom of paying this attention to any of his constituents who, when holiday-making in London, are desirous of receiv- ing it, subject, however, to the continuance of Parliamentary sittings during the Blackburn holi- days. This has not occurred till the present session for some time. Sir W. H. Hornby's kind- ness in this respect hns always, if numbers are any criterion, been greatly appreciated. During one holiday week a few years ago fully a thousand Blackburn folk went over the Palace of West- minster under his guidance, and he thinks it not unlikely that this figure may l>e\ipproached during the present week.

BAD ECZEMA GA vr I BABY BOYNO REST    Face and Hands Were Raw Used to Scratch Until Blood Came- Suffered Three Months—Sister Afflicted, Too—Both Were COMPLETELY CURED BY CUTICUBA REMEDIES "My little boy was affected with eczema about the head and face. He had it from birth, but it broke out badly when he was about three months old, and then we couldn't get any rest with him night or day. It went on like that till he was six months old, and then I made up my mind to try Cuticura Remedies and see if it would stop the itching. The first time [ used the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Resolvent, he got relief and got a nice sleep. I went on with it till it was cleared off the head. I had to cut all his curls off to get at it to cleanse it. His head and face were all a raw mass. He used to scratch and make it bleed dreadfully, till I tied pieces of cotton on his hands to prevent him hurting himself. When I took my little girl to the doctor for the same trouble, he couldn't do her any good, 80 I didn't take the boy, but the girl hasn't a blemish now as I used the Cuticura Remedies for her. and she is now on her fourth year and the boy is on his third year. Now he has a :ovely head of curls and the girl too. Mrs. W. Starling, Thurning, East Dere* 1mm, March 6, 1906." PIMPLES Blackheads, Red, Rough, and Oily Skin Prevented by Cuticura.

I THE MONKS OF OLD CHESTER 4 I AN OPEN LETTER. I I (Continued from August 10th.) I I (Addressed to the Very Reverend Father I d,D l p h O. S   It I)IC ?, i. ?7 Rudolph, O,S.F.C., oommcnting upon four !œturcs recently delivered by him.) I By W. F. BUTLER, M.Inst., C.E. And now I come to your fourth lecture, upon which, wi th your permission, I must comment a.t some length On page 58 you say "England had not opened her doors to tin; new religion that, was being concocted in Ger- many." No, nor never has done if, by the "now religion" you mean Luthcraniwn or Cal- vinism. I do not hesitate to allow that both have had their followers in England, or that Calvinism obtained considerable influence here, but tha.t either Church or State ever adopted tho ono or the other is beyond you to prove. The third paragraph on page 58 of your book requires consideration, and I suggest that bri-of sta,toments need something- more than confidant assertion if hearers and readers are to receive them as historical facts. You say Henry had several children by Catherine, but you omit to mention that only one survived, the Princess Mary, all the rest were stillborn, or died in infancy. We shall, I believe, see that it was the want of a male heir to the Crown which pressed so heavily on, not only, Henry's mind, but upon the minds of h:s people, for the Wars of the Roses, and the long troubles arising from disputed caused all to see that in default of a male heir nothing but Haniy's life stood between the nation and anarchy. The deaths of his ohildren impressed the King deeply, and caused him to beliovo increasingly that the-so misfortunes were a judgment ill feEpcct of hie marriage with his brother's widow. This leads mo to another statement contained in the oaine paragraph, "She had been espoused to his brother Arthur who di,cd shortly after, and tho manage was never consummated." Roa.Ny, sir, a more casual gloas upon history it would be d.,iffioult to find. Henry's elder brother, Arthur, was born 20th September, 1486. He wsw marilied to Catherino in St. Paul's Cathedral in great state 14th Novem- ber, 1501, and died at Ludlow Castle 2nd April, 1502. Catherine was, born 15th Decem- ber, 1485, and died at Kimbolton Castle 7th January, 1536. Prince Arthur was therefore just over 15, and Catherine neatly 16, years of age at the date of the marriagv. And if their youth be objected against consummation I would remind you that the mother of Hcoiry VII. was barely fourteen years old at the birth of that monarch. Let the evidence for and against consumma- tion be considered. That both parties were of sufficient, ago has never, as far as I can find, been objected against, and the. prLnce is dte cribed ais of a good and sanguine complexion. The Duchees of Norfolk, Lady Elizabeth Fitzwalter, and Viscount Fitzwalter testify t-I at the prince and pricness worn wedded to- gether at i ho Bishop of London's palace, the bed blessed, and that they were left alone. The words used the next day by the prince are very strong evidence, and are attested by Viscount Fitzwalter, Charles Duke of Suffolk, the Duke of Norfolk, and 'Sir Anthony Wil- loughby. The fact that, the Prince and Princess lived together as man and wife at Ludlow Castle for about four and a half months is proved, and there- were not wanting theme who said that Arthur's death resulted to some extent at least, from his early marriage. Prince Henry was not called Prince of Wales for some time after hie, brother's death, and was not created &o until ten months after that event- The Spanish Ambassador sent proofs of the consummation to Spain. In 1532 the Convocations of both provinces decided that Prince Arthur's marriage had been consummated. The papal Bull for the marriage of Prince Henry contains the words, tp relation to the former marriage of Catherine wit,h Prince Arthur, "which was perhaps consummated," from which it seemp reasonable to infer that cons• iir.maiion was not deemed to be .essential, and that if consummated the Pope claimed to dispense in the cane of niarriagv with a deceased brother's wife, con- trary to divine law. There can be little doubt t hat the officials of the Papal Court were well acquainted with the law of marriage, and since from the wording of the Bull consummation appears to have been regarded as of minor importance, or as being uncertain, "per- haps consummated ivau inserted. It is remarkable also that in the con- troversy between England and Rome about the nullity Little or no stress, is laid on the consummation or otherwise of Arthur's mar- riage. Had it been of essential importance, had it been of the essence of the marrai gia contract, and could the fact of non-consum- mation have been, established, there waa a complete answer to Henry's contention that it was unlawful to have married his brother's wictow, but as the point appears not to have been seriously raised, except by Catherine, I submit it can have been only because either it was not worth raising-, or because consum- mation was held to be proved. During the nullity proceedings the Court, of Spa-n produced a copy of a brief from Pope Julius II. for Henry's marriage with his brother's widow. In which, acoordmg to Acta Regia, consummation of Arthur's marriage is posi- tively asserted without any qualifying- "per- haps," and although the brief Will. probably a forgery, it serves to shew that in Spain, at least, there was no doubt about Catherine's marriage with Prince Arthur having been consummated, and incidentally as little doubt about, the Pope's power to dispense in the ease of the law divine. And, lastly, no even plausible caiwe or reason for non-consumma- tion has ever, as far as I am aware, been offered. Sudh, as far as I am able to discover, is the evidence in favour of consummation. Against- The only evidence of any impor tanee is Catherine's statement in her address to the King at the hearing- at the Nackfriax-s, which she afterwards offered to confirm on oath. One author says she offered to prove the same tiling at the time of the marriage with Prinoo Henry. Saunders tells a silly fiiary about a grave matron being ordered by Henry VII. to 00 in constant, attendance on the Prince and Princess, but the talte is contradicted by the evidence of eye- witnesses, and is moreover absurd on the face of it, since, tho main object of the marriage was an heir to the crown, and why so astute a Sovereign as Henry VII. should have laboured so long to bring about the marriage and when he had accomplished his object shoulel have taken so i.,nuisti-al a, step to render his own de&ign abortive, Saunders does not, I believe, condescend to explain. I have put tho ease before you as fairly as I am able, and leave you to consider how far your statement that the marriage., which you call an espousal, was never consummated, is borne out by the evidence. In the same para- graph you say "Henry got into his head that he ought not to have married her," and on page 59 "Then it v. as that Henry began to scruple about his marriage with Catherine." Let. us consider these two statements. Doubts and scruples had arisen before Anne Boleyn was born. In 1503, Pope Julius, in re- ply to Henry VII.'s application for a dispen- sation, said that a dispensation to marry a brot her's widow was a great matter, "nor did he well know, prima facie, if it were compe- tent for the Pope to dispense in such a case." Wareham, Archbishop of Canterbury, advised against the marriage, deeming it not well pleasing to God. The day before he was fifteen Prince Henry made a solemn protest in due form, and witnessed by notaries, before Fox, Bishop of Winchester, against rhe mar- riage. The King of Spain wrote to Prince Henry to dispel certain "scruples of con- science" he might entertain as to the, "sin" of marrying his brothers widow. And C'afhor- iii(,g OGztfc-s-ior had instilled doubts into her mind aba, for which he was promptly recalled to Spain. In 1514 Henry proposed to divorce Cailierine, because up to that. time none of his children by her lived, and intended to marry a daughter of the Duke de Bourbon. The King regarded his childlessness as a divine judg- ment for marrying his brother's widow. Long- land, Bishop of Lincoln, the King's Ccmfessor, app?ars to have long known of the. scruples, and is said to have suggested a divorce in 1522. I In the so-me jcar the Spanish Council took ex- coption to the legitimacy of the Prinoess Mary, when her man iago with Charles V. was pro- posed, on the ground that her mother had been the wife of bar father's brother. In 1527 the Bishop of Tarbcs, Ambassador from Francis I rained a difficulty about the proposed marriage between tho French King and the Princess on tho ground that her legitimacy was not be- yond dispute. And Henry, when speaking to the Lord Mayor and Aldermen of London shortly aftor, said that the scruple of con- science lie had long entrrtained had terribly increased upon him since the Bishop of Tarbes had spoken of it. In 1528 tho French Ambassador wrote. "God has long ago Himself passed sentence on it." I do not find any conclusive evidencd that Henry Jmd e vein seen Anne Boleyn prior to 1527. Saundcis, indeed, makes Anne to have boon his daughter, but we need not take Saun- ders serioaaiy. Apparently he wrote with the object o. d.c,faming Qccmn Elizabeth. Truth wa,3 immaterial. Various dates are given for Anne's birth from 1501 to 1507, but the latter yoar is probably correct. On the mother's side she was descended from Edward I. In 1519 Ant-pg Boleyn went to France as maid of honour to Queen Claude. and tho date of her return is variously given as 1522 a.nd 1527. She then b0- oamo maid of honour to Catherine, and was sought in mariiago by Henry Percy, son of the* Earl of Northumberland, but by the King's command Wolsey broke this off, the King in- tending her to marry Piers Butler son of the Earl of Ormonde. This appears to have been early in 1527, but the match came to nothing. possibly because of the King's inclining to Anne himself, for in the autumn of that year Dr. Knight was sent to Rome for a dispensation for Henry's marriage with Anne. The dispensation was granted, subject to a. decree of nullity being obtained in respect of too King's mar- riage with Catherine. Anne appears to have been really attached to Henry Percy, and to have retired from Court possibly to escape the King's attentions, since the earliest of his love letters is asoribed to Juno. 1527. In one Henry says: "I trust your absence is not wil- ful on your part; for if so, I can but lament my ill-fortune, and by degrees abate my great folly." That Anne was the King's mistress for three years rests on very slight foundation, and if such were her relations with Henry, why was he so determined to marry her? Two rea- sons are ascribed, one that Anne refused to surrender on any other terms, and the other the pressing want of a male heir to the Crown. Be the reasons what they may they can be little mono than the subject of conjecture now. It may be of interest to quote here the words of Bonner in his preface to Bishop Gardiner's Oration "Of True Obedience" "Foreasmuch as there be some (doubtless) even at this pre- sent, as it hath always been the wont of men's judgments to be variable and diverse which think the controversy that is between the King of EngLrnd and of France his most Royal Majesty and the Bishop of Rome oonsistebh in this point, Because the Kings said Majesty hath taken the n-.ost excellent and most, noble lady Anne to his wife; whereas in very deed notwithstanding the matter is far otherwise, and nothing so. Wherefore, to t.he intent that all that truly and heartily favour tho Gospel of Christ (which that most godly and most virtu- ous prinoe doth with all diligent endeavour, in every pace. advance to the honour of Almighty God and the piofit and commoditie of all Christian people), and that are not enemies but lovers of h-o truth (which everywhere justly el.airn-otli lie tippor hand and to her all things though they struggle never so much with her in the beginning yet obey and give place at length as is meet. they should), may the more fully understand the chief point of that con- troversy, and because they shall not lie ignor- ant, what. the whole voice and resoluto deter- mination of the best and greatest learned bishops with all the nobles and commons of England is, not only in that cause of matri- mony. but also iji d'{¥OIK of tJlw Gospens doctrine In 1532 Anne was created Mar- chioness of Pembroke, and accompanied tho King to France, to the meeting with Francis I., in October of that year. The date of her marriage is uncertain. Some authors say Nov. 14th, 1532. others, and perhaps more correctly, 25th January, 1533. Lord Herbert states the rite was celebrated by the Bishop of Coventry and Liehfield. Anne was proclaimed Queen May 12th and crowned June 1st, 1533. Her daughter. Elizabeth, was born 7th September, 1533, and Anne was executed on the 19th May. 1536. There is so little evidence remaining as to Queen Anne's conduct towards the King that no reliable conclusion seems now possible. Such evidence as there is appears to be rather in her favour, and some writers aver that Anne was extremely charitable to the poor, devoting nearly all her revenue to good works of that character. On page 60 you say: The (lay before Anne's execution the King married Jane Seymour"; "before" must be, I think, a slip of the pen for "after." Some writers say Henry married Queen Jane the day "after" Anne's death, nono that I know of the day "before." Henry acted with most heartier and indecent haste, but he was not so foolish as to risk a disputed euooeesion for the sake of a single day. The facts appear to be that Henry obtained a licence for the mar- riage on May 19th, 1536, the betrothal took place on the 20th, and the marriage, privately, in the Queen's Closet at York Palace on May 30th.

VANITY FAIR. I ——*—— I MEN OF THE DAY. j -From Vanity Fair." I MR. K. L. HUTCHINGS. Mr. K. L. Hutchings was born at Southborough, a village near Tunbridge Wells, on December 7th, 1882, and was the youngest of tour brothers, all of whom gained their colours at Tonbridge School. K. L. Hutchings was in the eleven for five years, and captained the team for the last two, with an average of 47 per innings in 1901 and 62 in 1!i02. He was one of the Kent XI. that visited the United States in 1903 but he was hardly known in first-class cricket till last season, when he was one of the most successful bats in England he averaged 64.66 for Kent in the County Champion- ship games. Although Hayward was probably the greatest batsman in 1906, it was Mr. Hutchings who furnished the sensation of the year. With a style peculiarly his own, he yet shewed himself to be one of the finest forcing bats of modern times. He drives with extraordinary vigour—the greatest feature of his game—he can play. too, with facility all round the wicket, while relying for defence on his back play. Apart from his batting, he is a tireless and excellent out-field, and quite a respect- able change bowler. Mr. K. L. Hutchings is first favourite with the crowd wherever he plays, because he evidently goes in to hit and scarcely lets a loose ball pass without punishment. All his acquaintances seem to be his friends, and delight in calling- him "Hutch." He is a good sportsman, and though he has not achieved all his ambitions, it must be remembered that he is not yet twenty-five, though he has already played for the Gentlemen against the Flayers. This year he is so far eighth in batting, with an average of 37.54 for 24 innings.
