AMERICAN BONANZA BEAUTIES IN
GERMANY.

AMERICAN BONANZA BEAUTIES IN
GERMANY.
Germany is wonderfully prolific in titled
gentry. 1t has more to the square mile than
any other country in the world. Germany
has twenty odd reigning families with all
sorts of titles. and with many Of them, their
title is about all they can boast of. These
reigning families, unfortunately. have a full
average number of children and as a conse
quence, Kings, Dukes and Princes multiply
until Germany is completely overrun with
titled vsgabonds. There is Alsace, Lorraine,
Anhalt. Baden, Bavaria, Brunswick, Hesse,
Lippe, Mecklenburg.Schwer Mecklenburg
Strelitz, Gutenberg, ReussGreiz. Reuss-
Schleiz, Saxe-Altenburg, Saxe-Coburg and
Gotha, Saxe-Meinigen, Saxe-Weimar. Els
march, Saxony, Schaumburg- Lippe,
Schwarzburg- Rudolstad .Waldick, Schwars-
burg, Sondershousen and Wurtem-
berg. All these countries, principalities or
what-nots, produce titled mobiles. These
titled mobiles have to live. Many of them are
mendicants, but they are, nevertheless,
proud. They are related to reigning fani-
lies, and have to be taken care OF. A favo-
rite way of the masculines is to mary for
tunes. They are fortune hunters, and
lately they look to America for rich wives
Thousands of American families are anxious
for their daughters to marry European no
bles. They go to Europe, visit Germany
hunt mobiles. find them, offer their daughters
to them, sell them for title and are happy.
Sometimes a German noble visits the United
States to inspect the entire lot of young
Indies picks out one whose daddy has
money, makes love to her, marries
and takes his wife and what money he can
get hold of and returns &c Germany. The
thing has become a regular business, and
moste unfortunate for the American girl
The son Of Peter. Wilhelm. Heinrich, Ernest
or karl-some seven by nine pOtentate-
starts out TO raise funds with which to MAIN
tain his title. His attention is called to the
fact that an Old goldfish buckets OPP, watered-
stock or bonanza Yankee is in Germany with
a daughter hunting for titled husband.
Baron Adolf at ouce goes for her, finds
her goes through the preliminaries
and the announcement is made that Ara
bella. the daughter of Brown, the million
aire. is TO marry Baron Adolf. OF the reisning
family of Schamburg Lippe, and all
tlunkeydom on this side of the Atlantic goes
into compton fits over the event. ARA
bella becomes Baroness Adolf. of Schaum-
burg-Lippe; old Brown gives her cool $780,
coo to start in on; Baron Adolf spends the
money, and Arrabella finds out, in due time,
L.
Lippe is pretty much all lip and slip and
grip, and she wishes the titled mobiles oil
Germany in a warm climate, This thing has
been going on until it is possible the Gov
eminent will take notice of it. Why not
Blaine, when Secretary of State, attended &c
the interests OF the American hog in Ger
many. and possibly old man Frelinghuyseu
will look after the American girl. The New
York World says:
1t appears from the record OF The State Depart
ment that some OF our American girls who have
been traded off by their parents or who have SOLD
themselves to titled vagabonds in Germany are
having an unpleasant awakening from the
| dreams of bliss. They find themselves but LITTLE
| better than drudges in their foreign homes
| Homework, cooking and even washing, to sa,
nothing of patching and mending, are expected
of them. Some OF them submit. Perhaps they
| have no preference between acquiescence and
| beating But there is limit to all things, ant
| submission stops at backing boots
When American girl who has been thu
disposed OF in the foreign market is required T.
black the boots Of her lord and master her spiri
rebels and she throws the brush aud the blackin;
/ box in his face. But why object to that psrticu
| lar domestic employment? girl who biscken
| womanly self-respect by marrying a foreign rap
\ scallion with title 10 his name and not dolla
| in his pocket ought not to mind backing boots
| The occupation is not dishonorable one. Their
| are bootblacks in our hotels aud on our street
| with more manly and honorable instincts thai
! these foreign scamps ever dreamed of possessing
| girl who sells herself or allows herself to o.
sold for a title withsut love afectioo sacrifice
| the best attributes of womsnhood. What has sh
| a right TO expect except cold calculating life
full of frivolity or abuse? frts1t
| But the American girl is not half 81 much
to blame as her foolish parents. 1t is in thu
added pates of the old folks that the it'll,
| bug gets in its-work. Men and women o
vulgar natures. OF low order OF ambitions
| who bave grown suddenly rich by fortunat,
strikes are those who sacrifice theirdaughter
or the affairs OF second hand nobility il
I Europe, who sell their daughters for tn
empty honor of title, which in nine eases
out of ten decorates loafer or pimp. Th
facts as they are leaking out are disgrace
to the American name and character at hom
and abroad. and still the State Department
ought to do as much for the live and suffer
ing American girl in Germany as has beer
| done for the dead American hog. .,ff
