MONTREAL, March 1.-THE roof of the
large planning mill of Lapham & Co. fell
in. Twelve to eighteen workmen inside

to extricate the victims. The boiler and
furnace were in the collapsed building,
but fortunately the frame structure did
cot catch fire. AT noon three men had
been taken out of the ruins, none OF
them dead, but all seriously injured.

In an amusing sketch of Prince Henry
of ~Battenberg, the husband Of Princess
Beatrice. recently appointed governor of
of the Isle of Wight (greatly to the dis
gust of the islanders), an English paper
gives q long list of the ladies who had
declined the honor of the i~mpecunious
princeling's hand before he finally sue
ceeded in his matrimonial designs.
Among the number was N whom it
will not be difficult to recognize and
who is described as 1.-THE daughter OF an

an actress or two and other women, an
alliance with whom would not have been

LONDON, March THE hanging of
Jenkins, the Godalming murderer, took
place at Wandsworth. The prisoner
was emaciated to a degree leaving him
little more than skeleton, and this con
dition rendered it necessary for Hang
man Berry to attach a seven pound
weight to each foot in order that the
fall might break the ~culprit's neck. 1t
was suggested that a longer drop be
given to the rope, but this was over
ruled by Berry, who expressed his opin-
ion that a greater fall would result in
beheading the prisoner. The execution
was successfully carried out.

THE BOGUS N0BLEMEN,
+, SIMPLE METHOD OF UNMAsklNa
THE PRETENDERs.

Counts That Are of No Acconnt-Rarons
auises without a Mark of Distinction.
Americans Easily Taken In.
On any fine day you can see a dozen
fraudulent noblemen airing themselves
on upper Broadway.
A bogus baron, a counterfeit count, a
miscalled marquis. should never impose
on anybody.
How can they be detected?
Easily enough. Suppose you have a
nobleman presented to you; the intro
Queer should be able to vouch for him if
the matter of title is q point in question.
But your bogus nobleman nearly al
ways presents himself. Then go to the
consulate of his country.
A SURE DETECToR.
There it is easy to satisfy yourself of
his identity. Generally speaking. al
though n o always, real noblemen regis
ter at the consulate on their arrival in
New York, but every consulate. ever if
the gentleman has not recorded there, is
more or less able to give information as
to noblemen belonging to their country.
Thanks to the English Peerage (Burke's
and Debrett's) and the German Gotha-
ische, Grafen and Freiherrn Calendar, as
well as to the army lists of both coun-
tries, it is pretty easy to get at the facts.
And there are SO many real noblemen
and officers of the German and English
armies here in this city that the bogus
! article could easily be detected by being
confronted with the real one.
The impostor is generally good looking
and distingue and has a dangerous
knowledge of what he is talking about,
depending o his good looks and his
cheek to carry him through. And our
rich girls, blinded by what they believe
to be the honor of being courted by q
real live lord or count, fall an easy vic
tim to the INSCRIPTIONS fortune hunter.
Counterfeit noblemen and real noble
men, who have so far forgotten what is
due to their name that they closely re.
semble the bad article, abound and al
ways will abound in a great cosmopol.
itan city like New York. AS long as the
present inordinate love for titles exists
in this enlightened republic, people must
not be astonished if they are the dupes
of such Is have a smattering of educa-
ton and the cheek to call themselves by
a high sounding title.
All these counterfeit noblemen have

BILE occasions they will brag of their noble
descent and will tell the most wonderful
stories of their doings at home and of the
doings of their ancestors generations be-
fore them.

SPECIMENS OF THE SPURIOUS.


A peculiar and rather amusing case
once came under the notice of the writer,
himself for long years an officer in the
Prussian service. He used to lunch reg
ularly at a down town restaurant, when
n day he was told by the proprietor
that he had an ex-oficer, who was down
on his luck, az waiter.
The said waiter claimed to be a Count
x, and said that he was a first lieu
tenant In a crack cavalry regiment of
the Guards. The writer was rather curl
Gus to see the waiter, as he had person
ally known Count x. He was rather
skeptical as to the walters identity, see
ing that he told wonderful stories of his
proves during the Franco-G

army only after the close of the CAM
paign.
AT last the waiter made his appear
ance, and after having been taken to
task he acknowledged that he was not
the count. but was once the counts SER
want. The latter fact accounted for his
intimate knowledgeof the counts family
! affairs.
Many are the cases where American
wives have married bogus noblemen and
suffered bitterly for it afterward, simply
because they did no. take the trouble to

cision of the land office ousting the

is causing excitement throughout Okla
homa as fast as the news spreads Two
hundred men were in line yesterday

open, a large majority waiting to file
on claims already entered by men sup
posed to have been on the territory be-
tore noon, April %, and which the de-
cision declares they are not entitled to
hold. Effect of decision will be felt
everywhere throughout the terri

when 500 or 700 persons in Guthrie alone
will be effected. If it does not, then
when other parts Of the Indian Territory
are opened whole cities may be expected
to spring up before the opening day.
