an English Judge, Sir Charles Swln-
fen Eady, writes a London corre-
spondent of the St. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat. ^
How much his worship paid his
highness for Wood Norton it has
proved impossible to learn, but it
must have been a tidy sum. for the
house itself is furnished with a mag-
nificence In keeping with the royal
state which the pretender to the
throne of Prance has kept up there,
and the property, which is located
near Evesham, in fhe valley of the
Avon, extends over 2,500 acres and
takes in several parishes. The man-
sion, which is a handsome one, with many gables, will need a lot of altera-
tion inside to make It a suitable home for an English magistrate, everything,
from the door handles and the electric fittings to the oak panellngs, being
emblazoned with the fleur-de-lis of the royal house of France. However, Its
new owner can stand the racket, for, besides getting a fat salary as one of
the judges of the court of chancery—which so many Americans believe to
be keeping them out of big fortunes—he is said to have earned, as a barris-
ter, one of the largest incdmes ever made by a lawyer In England.
DECLARES OROZCO HAS FAILED
Gen. Braulio Hernandez, formerly a
leader in both of the Mexican revolu-
tions, is now in the United States,
practically an exile from his own
country.
At present General Hernandez is at
outs both with the government under
Madero, which has had him Indicted
on a charge of conspiracy, and with
Orozco, the revolutionary leader.
"The revolution is not a separate
one from that which made Madero
president," he said. "But Madero be-
trayed the trust of the people after
becoming president by allying himBelf
with the wealthy class and the corpo-
rations—what you call the trusts. At
my call the people arose to demand
what they expected from the revolu-
tion that ended in the overthrow of
