British Royalties at q Discount.
TIondon Truth.l

It's a common error in England, and one
which is exceedingly silly and absurd. to
suppose that our royalties are regarded
abroad with something approaching to
veneration. Nobody, In these days. cares
anything whatever for connection with
the royal family OF England Nothing Is
gained either from the political or from the
dynastic points of view; there is never any
money forthcoming. and the English court
is the dullest and most parsimonious ia Eu-
rope.
1t IL mistake of the widest and mo & ex-
travagant kind to believe chat English
princes and priucessss throw their handker-
chiefs where they please, with the certainty
that they will be eagerly scrambled for.
This plan may answer the most obscure OF
the German ssrenitiss, but IL IL quite
another matter when it comes TO the ques.
ton of a connection with any distinguished

effect Of q drama on an audience, goes out
