People Born in This Country Who Have
Handles to Their Names.
1t is we'll known that the constitution
of the United States frowns upon titles
and orders of nobility, yet there are
many native born Americans whose dig
mites range from the humber orders OF
knighthood to the exalted rank OF
princes. And l am not now abiding to
heiresses who have been raised to the
peerage by marriage. These instances
are already familiar TO the public. What
is less known is the fact that many
American men have won similar ele-
walton by direct grant from a foreign
crown.
The famous scientist, Count Rumford.
was a plain New England Yankee
named Thompson, who went abroad,
attracted general attention by his chem
ical discoveries, and was ennobled by
the king of Bavaria. In our own days
Edison has been made a count, and
Pullman, of parlor car fame, mar
quis, by King Humbert, but neither OF
them cares to sport the title, and it is
only alluded to in iocular fashion by
their friends.
The pope has conferred the order OF
Chevalier on several Americans, the
most notable being the millionaire Jo-
seph Brannigan, of Providence, r. l.
The father of Edgar Saltus was knight
ed by Queen Victoria, and has the right
to call himself Sir Francis Saltus, but
has the good taste never to exercise
that right. Marmaduke Richardson, a
well-known New Yorker, was made a
count by King Humbert, but never
sports the title. There are many
Americans now living abroad who
are not so modest. certain Amer
lean criminal, we'll known to the po-
lice here as Max Shinbaum and by
numerous other aliases, is now living
in Belgium as Baron Shinbaum.
A former Boston spiritualist, Charles
Hamilton Fiske by name, made his ap-
pearance in Wurtemb burg year or two
ago as the Count de Vernois, and for a
period enjoyed the highest favor of the
king, until he was deposed by concerted
action on the part of the native no.
bility. In both these cases it is not
certain that the titles were genuine, al
though it is quite possible that they
may have been acquired by purchase,
an easy step on the continent OF Europe.
Genuine Spanish titles, for example,
may be bought pretty cheap, the price
ranging from thirty thousand francs
for countship to eight hundred for a
knightship.
In Italy the decayed nobility are en-
titled to adopt strangers as their sons
for monetary consideration, and the
adoption carries with it such titular
dignity as would be the birth-right of a
real son. The consideration, as a rule,
is not large. A New York journalist,
now living abroad, is said to have pur-
chased the title of prince Chialdini'
for mere trifle of seventy-6ve dollars
To conclude, an instance of titled Amer
lean citizens born on American soil is
afforded by the children of the March
ioness DANA, the novelist, all of whom
are members of the Italian nobility

Fashions In Tables.

A year or two ago the people who
owned a round dining-table envied
those who possessed a square one, and
now the matter is reversed and still
the madame with the oblong table is
out of fashion. J heard lady say of
her square table, which, of course, is a
long one when few table boards are
put in it: This is hopelessly suggest
i've of a boarding house, this long Ia
BILE; so / have had a great cover made
for it, which is seven feet round and at
which can seat eighteen people" And
so it goes. We who have oblonR tables
are worried because they are not round,
and those that are square are in fashion
one year and out of fashion another
and things have to be kept going, so
that trade may boom and that those
who are afraid of the dictates of fashion
may be kept miserable.-Toledo Jour
