IMl'OKTANT LAND KTLING.
A Land Officer Dismissed for
Neglect of Duty.
Wasuixcton, April 7. Secretary
Noble rendered an opinion to-day
on the board appointed by
Commissioner Graff, of the general
land office, to examine into the
facts and circumstances concerning
the issue to Thomas Reed of a
patent to 112 acres of land, said to
contain valuable mineral deposits,
in Duluth, Minnesota, land district.
The investigation was based on
the fact that at the time the patent
was issued the question of the title
to the land was pending before the
department.
The secretary concludes that W.
B. Douglass, the general land
office clerk, who approved the
entry for the patent, neglected his
duty and must be dismissed from
the service of the United States ;
that the recorder of the general
land oflice, James M.Townsend, in
conducting this business violated a
strict rule that should have con
trolled him. He theiefore orders
the patent to be impounded by the
commissioner general's office as the
property of the united tatep.

NEEDS MOKE MONEY.
The Duchess of Marlborough Comes
Home for Funds.
A New York dispatch says that
the Duchess of Marlborough Las
come to New York for the purpose
of inducing the trustees under the
will of her first husband to sell
some real estate which is yielding
no revenue, and reinvest the pro
ceeds of such tale so that her
present incon e may lo inc.eased
The Duchess simply has a life
interest in the propei;y left by her
first husband. Her income from
the estate is stated to lie over $125
000 a year. Out of this taxes on
ntlier real estate has to be paid,
and various other expenses, s
that her entire income is $100
000, or perhaps even less.
If the duchess is able to make
the rearrangement she desires and
the $2,000,000 arising from the
real estate sales are well invested,
she expects that about $75,000 a
year will be added to her present
Income.
As she will be relieved at the
same time from the necessity of
paying taxes upon 'unproductive
property, her aggregate income
will reach nearly $200,000.
