Called Lord Salisbury a Crank.

Although Lord and Lady Salisbury make a point of spending the major part of every winter and spring at their chateau of Beaulieu, which is close to Monte Carlo, yet both of them carefully avoid ever setting foot on the property controlled by the managers of the Casino. This is due to the treatment to which they were subjected a few years ago. Walking up ths steps of the Casino with his wife, Lord Salisbury was directed, as is always the case with strangers, to apply at the office for a ticket of admission. Lord Salisbury is exceedingly careless in his attire while the marchioness is equally dowdy-looking in her dress. The consequence was that when, in reply to the usual request to state his occupation, Lord Salisbury replied -that he was prime minister of Efigland —which he was at the time—he was greeted with a shout of laughter and an invitation to “get out,” on the ground that “cranks and wags and people like you” were not admitted.
