TIIETRUTII ABOUT TITLES
OF THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN NO
DLES AND ARISTOCRATS.
There tin St nny Tlllril llehlniis nml
Miny ttntltlod ArMiiorrtln I'olnts In
Ha OlncrTi'tl by American In Uinifer
ring KrlrniLlilp mi Titled KiirHBiirr
ISpcclal Corrt'spoiulctice.1
Nrw Yoiiic, Juno !, Onu great error
Into which tho majority of Americans
vIMtlng Huropo almost invariably fall
is their lellof that every ikjihoii hearing
rt nohlllary titlo nccewmrily belongs to
tho arltocrney, nml immwmuh n Rtritln of
hltio hl(K)d in hln veins This Is very far
from bolng tho enso. For, paradoxical
though It may ntiponr, there nro many
dukes, princes nml enrla who tire plo
bclntid, while there are numerous un
titled personages whonronrlstocrats. lu
Spain, for instance, there nro about 200
dukes, 000 innrtiuiwoa and Bovornl thou
Band counts nono of their titlea, how
over, carry with thorn any rights, rank
nt court or precedence, and enjoy so lit
tle consideration that thoro is a success
ful hatter at Madrid who has been cre
ated a duke, n retail butcher who has
received tho title of marquis, and a pedi
cure, or chiropodist, who has been made
a count, Tho real aristocracy of Spain
is limited to 2 III grandees, many of them
untitled, but who onjoy Innumerable
privileges, including thoso of remaining
seated and covered lu tho presence of
royalty, and of ncccH to tho sovereign
nt all times.
Nothing is more amusing than to ob
serve tho punctilious caro of theso gran
dees to niltlrcHs parvenu dukes, mar
quesses and counts by their titles. In
fact, tho courtesy Is bo pointed as to ul
most become Insulting. For among
themselves tho grandees never by any
chance make uho of any titles which
thoy may possess. They merely prolix
tho word "Don" to their Christian names,
nml address ouoanother as "Don" Knilllo,
"Don" Fernando or "Dona" Angela.
This omission of tho use of titles among
the old aristocracy likewise prevails in
Franco, and especially lu Italy. Mrs.
Mackay's Roman son-in-law, for In
stance, would never bo spoken to by
equals as "Prince" Ferdinand Coloimn,
whtlo at Paris tho Duke do In Rochefou
cauld or the Princess do Chlmay nro in
variably addressed by tho denizens of
tho noble faubourg as "Monsieur" do la
Rochefoucauld and ns "Mmlnmo" de
Chlmay.
This Bpccios of disdain with which
titles are regarded lu Spain, Portugal,
Italy nml Franco is mainly attributable
to tho facility with which anybody who
wishes can obtain them. In Spain, for
Instance, nil that is necessary is to mar
ry some lady with a titlo to her name.
Iu that country the inheritance of titles
is not limited to tho males, but is ex
tended to tho females as well, who have
tho curious privilege of being able to
transfer to their husbands tho titles
which they havo inherited nnd which
thoypoueaa in their own right Thus
the Dnko of Ban Lucar, whose features
are familiar to every Auiericnn who has
visited Diarritz during tho last forty
years, nnd who died n few days ago, wns
nn Irishman of tho name of O'Shcn, who
had married n girl that had inherited
tho dukedom of San Lucar from n bach
elor uncle, and who had transferred it
to her husband. Tho latter was the son
of n bankrupt Irish banker and a cousin
of the Captain O'Shen of Parnoll fame.
Orenvllle Murray, tho famous jour
nalist and novelist, likewise acquired his
title of count from Ills wife, who had in
herited it. In Portugal, whero all he
reditary titles have been abolished nnd
whero thoy nro hold only for life. It Is
possible to becotno duke, marquis, count
or barou by the payment of relatively
small sums of nionoy into tho national
trensury. There nro nny number of
English nml other foreign merchants-en-gngod
in Portugueso trado who havo
acquired high Bounding titles in this
manner, ono of tho best known cases
being that of the husband of Tennie
Chilli n. who, although n merchant of St.
Paul's Churchyard, Loudon, has caused
himself to lo invested by tho Portugueso
monarch with tho grand old crusader
title of Viscount of Montserrnt. In
Italy, too, nny title can be obtained by
the payment of money.
There is n regular fixed tnrifi", tho ensh
paid being descril)ed ns "registration
dues." Thus everybody who does not
happen to bo notorious criminal can
buy nn hereditary titlo of count either
from tho popo or from King Humbert
for tho sum of $3,000. I know two dis
reputnblo Syrian usurers of Alexandria,
in Egypt, who each ncquiied n count
ship in this maum r. tho ono getting it ut
tho Vatican, nnd the other nt tho Quirinnl.
Tho solo dllTereucj between tho two wns
that, whereas tho latter Insisted on tho
5,000 being paid in gold, tho papal nu
thorities were content to nccept tho
amount in paper lire. A dukedom la
somewhat moro costly. IU price reaches
as high as 10,000, nnd among thoso who
secured It by theso bort of methods wns
tho widow of Isaao Singer, of Singer
sewing machine famo. Whon sho con
ferred her hand and her fortune upon
tho ntnlablo but penniless llttlo Amster
dam Hebrew who beenmo her second
husband, sho purchased for him from
tho Vntlcnn, n u wedding gift, tho title
of Duke of Camposoltco. All theso Ital
ian titles descend to tho children, who
even bear them during tho lifetime of
their parents without any let or hin
drance. With regard to France, it is not even
ueccssnry to go to the expense of pur
chasing a titlo there, oven if tho govern
ment had such n commodity for sale,
which it lias not. All that is ucceusnry
is to ndopt nny titlo that may happen to
strike one's fancy, no matter whether it
bo count, prince or duko, It is true that
there- is n law iu Franco which directs
that no one shall adopt n nobiliary title
or oven adorn his buttonhole with tho
ribbon of nny foreign order without hav
ing previously obtained authority to do
so from the grnnd chancellor of tho Lo
gion of Honor. Dnt the statute which
provides for heavy penalties, both by
fino nnd imprisonment, is more honored
lu the breach than in Its observance, nnd
is rarely If river t nforced.
Tho cousequenco is that nlongsldo of
tho Rochefoucaulds, tho Chimays, tho
Roliaus, tho Do Lttyncs, the Dtt Plautys
seventeen of whom nro recorded by
Frolssart ns having boon killed nt the
battle of Aglncourt nnd tho remainder
of tho old nobility of tho Faubourg St
Qennalu, there nro literally tens of thou
sands of sol-illnant nobles of obscuro ori
gin, and often with u criminal record nt
their buck, who, by dint of iwrsovernnco
and luqierviousness to snubs, linro suc
ceeded In getting the general public to
accord them the titles and frequently
oven tho names which they have wrong
fully usuriied. Of course nono of theso
psoudo nobles has any documents from
tho French government to authenticate
their titles, nml frequently Heek to ex
plain tho absence thereof by tho ridicu
lous and hackneyed excuso that their
family papers weio lost in tho great rev
olution of tTli'il. Tills, however, need
never bo accepted ns a valid plea, since
tho monarchical governments which suc
ceeded tho reign of tenor at tho close of
tho last century were exceedingly lib
eralfar too much so, indeed in recog
nizing and registering titles that had
been in existence previous to 1703. In
deed there Is no excuse for a French no
bleman being without some kind of n
document from his government iu which
his titlo is ollltvlally recognized.
In Russia, just ns in Franco, Italy nnd
Spain, titles carry no privileges, olthor
official or social, and confer no kind of
prestige upon their bearers. There aro
thousands of so called princes and prin
cesses who havo no right to appear nt
court, nnd who would not bo admitted
into tho Hociety either of St. Petersburg
or of any other capital of Europe. I Bay
"bo called princes" because tho titlJ of
prince, when applied to Russians, is duo to
misapprehension nnd wrong translation.
Tho Russian word used to designate
theso Muscovites who nro addressed its
princes abroad is "knyaz," tho correct
English synonym of which is "Lord." A
"knynz," In fact, possesses much tho
same rank and position as nn ordinary
English country squiro or lord of tho
manor. During tho reign of Louis XIV
of Franco two of theso knyaz happened
to visit Versailles. On inquiries being
made by court ofllclals concerning their
rank, their Interpreters, partly through
ignorance nnd partly with a view of in
creasing their own importance, trans
lated tho word "knyaz" as prince.
Slnco then every Russian "squireen"
lias invariably been treated to tho title
of prince from tho very moment that lie
crosses tho czar's western frontier, much
iu the name manner that every well to do
Bombay peddler is greeted ns n full
blown rajah as soon as ever he sets his
foot in Paris. Under these circum
stances it is not astonishing that tho
titles of count and even of baron nro of
fnr more Inijiortanco nnd of higher rank
in Russia than that of "prince." For
slnco tho days of Peter tho Great there
hnvo been only sixty creations of "count
nnd fourteen of Unit of "baron." These
figures, however, do not includo tjte
German barons in the Dnltic provinces
of Russia and the Polish counts who
have become subjects of tho czar.
In Austria, nml Germany the tltlos'of
prince and count nro but rarely con
ferred, nnd nro therefore usually borne
by persons of ancient lineage and pos
sessed of names that nro moro or less his
torical. Tho titlo of baron, howover,
unless attached to names of this kind, is
devoid of nny social prestige or consider
ation. For there is scarcely n single one
of tho horde of potty and Impecunious
German sovereigns who has obtained n
loan without conferring tho title of baron
upon both the bankers and brokers who
havo obliged him. People thus ennobled
nro, however, kept at a distanco by tho
old aristocracy, which is llkowlso very
uumerous, owing to tho fact that not only
tho eldest sou, but also every one of tho
younger children, bears the father's titlo.
This is different in England, whero it
only descends to tho senior male heir.
Tho result Is that tho use of honorific
distinctions of this kind is exceedingly
restricted in Great Britain. Indeed,
thero is no nation in tho Old World that
comprises bo few titled personages. In
cluding dukes, marquises, earls, barons,
baronets nnd knights, there nro not moro
thnnU,000. With regard to knights it
may bo ns well to mention that tho only
orders of knighthood that carry with
them n titlo of any kind nro thoso con
ferred by the English government.
Neither tho Italian, tho French, the Ger
man, Spanish nor Russian orders bring
with them nny title, not even that of
"air" prefixed to tho Christian namo.
In conclusion, 1 will take tho liberty
of warning Americans visiting Emopo
to give moro consideration to tho namo
than to tho title of tho acquaintances
thnt thoy may ncquiro in tho Old World.
Titles, oven when thoy nro authentic,
and thoy should always bo subjected to
investigation, nro but of small value
compared to gentlo birth nnd ancient
lineage, which no monarch or govern
ment can confer. King James I of Great
Britain, whoso namo figures iu tho
preface to all of our Bibles, was wont
to romark thnt though a king can create
a peer or confer nobility ho cnuuot
make a gentleman, It is tho latter nnd
not tho mere bearer of a mushroom titlo
who is regarded iu Europo as tho true
nristocrnt. Thero is no moro ancient
or more blue blooded family in tho Old
World than tho Do Rohaus, who, not
withstanding their ancient lineage, their
immonso power and infiuenco and their
prido of raco, have always disdained the
oso of n titlo. An Ex-Diplomatist.

It appears that tho American product
of silver, including that of ores brought
iu from Mexico to bo smelted, is now
about ono half of tho world's product.
Tho friends of freo coinngo very .natur
ally assert that it is, or soon will bo,
morn than half, while tho opposition ns
naturally dcclaro that it is a great deal
less tliau half. At any ratoitis nbout
half, and with the "ore in sight," as min
ers say, nnd tho established workings,
thcio is llttlo doubt that for ten years to
come tho American product will average
55,000.000 ounces tier year, or at coinage

nnd iu a few moments their plunder Is hid
lieneath the contents of the ash barrels,
whuro no hand but theirs will ere disturb
it, as they think Hut they reckon with
out their hoMt, for In the doorway of No 71
a man stands with a latchkey In his hand.
It Is Ike Irvlugtoii, the famous young

It is a policeman upon whom tho Hying
thieves have u-iiiimI their vindictive ninth.
Thehravugtiaidliuiof the peace Is half shot.
"Thoeowaidsl' murmurs Ike Irvlugtoii,
"to take advantage of a sleepliiK man."
And he turns and pursues them still
Tho silent stars havo gone out one by

"Thnt voice," ho says then he asks for a

Across the way Ollllgan's chemical la

The woman laughs 'We don't git no

But he scowls at her, nnd sho Is silent.
CHAPTER III
At ling Hollow on the Hudson the state
ly homo of lU'ulnuld .Mcliiuty reared its
head The primitive people of If on Hollow
ga.ed nnudcriiigly at the mansion hid he
hind the tall elms nml the high brick wall
nml massive gates thnt kept them out Of
ten at shadowy eve they heard the sweet
voice of a young maiden rise cleat thiougli
thu shadowy twilight, but no IIvIiik person
had they ere beheld, save the tall dark mau
whose hair was already tinged with gray
who only said his name was Reginald Mc
Gluty, and they could leant nothing more
Yet there was one who had fathomed tho
mystery Down the tei raced walk, arm iu
arm, walked n couple lu tho twilight One
of them was a young girl in the first Hush
of dawning womanhood a wealth of au
bum curls set oil a burglar proof face,
from wlilch two eyes peeped shyly at each
other Her pellucid, almond shaped eais,
like Dresden tea trays, stood out from her
classic, chiseled laco
Imogeno MeUlnty was ns cuto as a bug's
car. Tho young man at her side wns tall
and handsome, with a face like a Greek
god. It was our hero, Iko Irvlugtoii
"Imogeue, dearest.'' he was sajlug, "I
havo unearthed the secret ol your birth
You are no kin to your father ''
Ths j'oung git I shrank from him 'Heav
cu help me)' site murmured ami iu the
starlight ho could see the hard, cruel Hues
that crossed her countenance, until her
young face looked like a piece of corduroy
"Imogeue, dearest," he whispcied, 'when
1 tracked thoso villains I was unsuccessful
But I discovered where they hid thelrspoils
Among tho plunder I found the famous
Mulligan diamonds, and a paper telling who
you were Thedescnptioii tallied exnctly. I

CHAPTER IV
"Do you think so, Ash-Barrel Ike?" Tho

McGlnty stood before them with a sneer
upon his face Ash Bairel Ike made a
