Duke of St. Albans

London, Sept. 20. The death of the eleventh duke of St. Albans occurred to-day at the age of 64 years. By a strange coin-idence the Duke's death occurred on the day of the premiere of the great British film, "Nell Gwynne," which is based on the life of his two ancestors, Charles If and the little orange seller who became a great actress and the King's mistress in the 17th century.

The Duke, who had been mentally affected and'in confinement for years, was never married—Reuter.
