"FASHION PLATE"
COUNT WITH ODD
BELIEFS IS DEAD
(Continued From Page One.)
count said in part: "When in the
course of my existence as a fiuman
being it shall fall to my lot to, lose
my grip on health and thus become a
prisoner of disease (whether accident
ally, by contagion or otherwise), when
my rufferings from my point of judg
ment overbalance my desire to con
tinue my existence or struggle for re
covery, or when, in other words, my
desire to escape (physical or mental)
pain becomes stronger than my quest
for happiness (which, unbeknown to
the majority of the human race, forms
the pivot of all human and animal ac
tion), or when. In the distressing con
ditions just described, I shall insinu
ate, intimate,- beg for or ask, directly
or indirectly, by words or signs, that
my suffering be ended and my life
mercifully exchanged for death, or
'eternal sleep,' then shall it become the
duty of the United States marshal, or
his deputy, or the attending physician,
or an agent of the humane society, or
Dr. Osier, to administer to my suffer
ing body a liberal dose of chloroform
or other expedient remedy, as the case
may demand."

The count's creed is summed up In a

Lord Strathcona.
London, Jan. 21. Lord Strathcona,
who died peacefully in his sleep just
before 2 a. m., will be burled In High
gate churchyard beside his wife, it
was stated today. Lady Strathcona
died only last November and her hus
band, who was devotedly attached to
her and then past his ninety-third
birthday, never fully recovered from
the shock. The direct cause of his
death was prostration due to an attack
of catarrh.
His title and the bulk of his huge
estate will go to his daughter, Marga
rette Charlotte, wife of R. J. Bliss
Howard.
Lord Strathcona, first baron (created
1S97), was born in Scotland in 1820, a
son of Alexander Smith, Archieston,
and Barbara, daughter of Donald
Stuart, Leanchoil. Lord Strathcona's
full name was Donald Alexander Smith
G. C. M. B. 1896; G. C. V. O. 1908;
F. R. S., LL. D., P. C. D. L.. high com
missioner for Canada, which position
b6 occupied since 1896.
"The Lion of the North," as Lord
Strathcona was frequently called,
married Isabel Sophia, daughter of the
late Richard Hardlsty of Canada. He
had one daughter, Margaret Charlotte,
who was married to R. J. Bliss How
ard, F. R. C. S. Lord Strathcona was
one of the most distinguished men in
Canadian political life, and had been
prominent in Canadian affairs for
more than 25 years.
Was Friend of America.
Not only did the famous high com
missioner take a deep interest in the
affairs of his beloved dominion' but he
always displayed a liking for Ameri
cans. He was thoroughly familiar with
American political conditions and had
many friends in this country. In
April, 1912, at the time of the Ti
tanic disaster, Lord Strathcona con
tributed 5000 to the New York city
general fund for the sufferers, al
though he had already contributed
generously to the lord mayor's fund
in London. He was a close personal
lriend of James J. Hill.
Again in March, 1913, Lord Strath
cona most generously gave 15000 to
the fund for the relief of sufferers
from the disastrous Ohio floods.
The career of the "Grand Old Man
of Canada" was started in Scotland at
the age of 16 years, when he sought
and obtained work as an errand boy.

mounted regiment at his own ex
pense and presented It to Great Brit
ain. As he paid his men more than
twice the regular army pay, this piece
of patriotism cost him something like
12,000,000. His fortune, however, is
estimated at $125,000,000.
One of Lord Strathcona's earliest
achievements to gain him fame was
his work as special commissioner dur
ing the first Rell rebellion in the Red
River settlements in 1869. He was
thanked by the governor general in
council for his services In this emer
gency. In his early days Lord Strathcona
was truly a pioneer. For many years
in his youth he lived in the forests
of the northwest Many months and
even years were spent In weary Hud
