TITLE CRAZED.
Gratis cannot assail.

If is remarkable fact that women raised
in the atmosphere of republican institutions
in America can be led away by ths empty
titles attached to the nobility of Europe. Yet
such cases are constantly recorded. A few
days ago Mrs. Annie Wetmore of New York
took her own life by poisoning herself at the
residence of Lady Albert Pelham Clinton in
the Rue Ballaust. The deceased was a very
handsome woman about 80 years of age. Up
to short time since she was said to have
been afflanced to the Marquis of Auglesy, to
whom she became engaged soon after her di-
vOrce from her husband. Not long ago the
Wetmore drowned her modification in a bowl
of poison. The foolish woman was simply
title-crazed. She met Lord Henry Paget the
Marquis of Angelsy and became infatuated
with his title. Had he been simply Mr..
Henry Padget, and American, she would net
have wiped her feet on him, but as Lord
faget it was quite another thing. He is des-
crlbed as being commonplace man. No
have been infinitely superior in sense to the
woman who left her husband and children for
him. Mrs. Wetmores voluntary removal to
another sphere leaves no void. In dying she
no doubt felt the solace of turning up her
aristocratic toes in the mansion Of Lady Albert
Pelan Clinton instead of the house of plain
Mrs. Clinton. Some people are we'll out of
the way.
HARRY GRoRGEs BooK-About year ago
Harry George, San Francisco journalist of
very positive views, published book entitled
I" Poverty and Progress" When people
heard of the book they Immediately associ-
ated it with " that little red headed fellow of
the Post, and paid no further attention to it. |
For some years past Mr.. George has been a |
butt of ridicule for the San Francisc. press.
It was thought by some that an alusen to |
ais dininutive stature and red hair was
thrust which would be hard to parry. In
'pite Of physical characteristics Mr.. George

o the grOveling beasts he battled with He
vas a modest, little, anassuming man who
'aid great respect to other peoples opinions,
md while he edited the Post always conducted
lis discussions by the cold rules of logical
rgumeat. When he got the better of an ad
ersary, and he generally did, he crushed him

or to acknowledge it, Yet his advanced
Jews upon matters of political economy were
aughed at by people who could not under
tand them, and he was alluded to as " little
teorge of the Post" His great work, "Pov
rty and Progress" however, is now being
ravely considered by men who weigh the
ook and not the author. The Springfield
republican declares it to be one Of the most
emarkable and stimulating books ever issued.
he London Saturday Review considers its
,asoning of such a type that it must compel
European political economists to modify their I
Jews. The London Times pays glowing tri-
ate to the depth Of the ideas and the SQUAD
ess Of its reasoning. Perhaps the San :
rancisco press had better take another look !
