DEALERS IN HEIREssEs.
Brokers Who Supply Rich American Girls
with Doubly Poor Husbands.


with Doubly Poor Husbands.
European marriage brokers are con,
stantly besieged with requests for in
Productions to rich American orphans,
particularly from insolent young Off
GERS, and it is not unlikely that at least
eighty of the ninety-thrce officers re-
Gently mentioned by the Great Britain
bureau made known their wants on
the condition that only Americans need
apply. The game between the agent
and the clearinghouse keeper is sim
pie. He goes to her with the inquiry
whether she has, or will have soon,
young American women in her house.
The answer is invariably affirmative,
for every boarding-house keeper catch
es an American girl sooner or later.
The agent then explains his GRAND,
says the American Analyst, gives his
military customer a gilt-edged title,
character and so on, and agrees to give
the woman thirty-three and a third
per cent. of his commission in case
their united efforts accomplish the
match in question. This commission is
regulated according to the size of the
American girls dowry. A case without
a dowry is not on record, for q dowry
is the sine qua non of the whole affair.
The housekeepcr's duties are simply to
find out all about the American girls
property and family, and are, there
fore, not onerous, for she would ex-
ert herself to get this information
for her own private satisfaction any
how.
If this course of inquiry elicit the
fact hat the American girl is q real
heiress, with real American
gold to the amount of o thousand or
more annually, the spick and span
young officer, with his income of minus
a thousand or more annually, is brought
around. He appears at dinner at the
landlady's right, and is introduced as
Herr Baron Bierfass of the guards, best
of the imperial caretaker of the
boots. He is all red and blue, with
sleek hair parted down the back of his
ncck and a mustache pulled out straight
% his ears. He talks German love as
last as a dog can trot, and if he does
not get the girl it is because she does
lot love IN officer of the guards when
sees him. American manmas and
'apas are frequently dazzled by the
treat names in the letters of their
daughters in Germany, and they palpi-
ate with modest American pride when

THE CUP USED BY JESUS.

Probably of Glass, Though for Centuries
Supposed to De an Emerald.
The sacred cup, the traditional ''sacro
catino," belonging to the cathedral at
Genoa, which for centuries has been
supposed to nave beer carved from n
perfect emerald, has lately beer thor
oughly inspected by a jcwclcr, who
p~ronounces it simply green glass, says
the st. Louis Republic. The cup,
which is more pan than cup shaped, is
fourteen inches wide and five inches
deep, and is by many believed to be the
Identical cup used by Jesus at the in
%stitution of the Lords Supper. After
the crucifiXion it is said to have fallen
into the hands of King Herod, who used
1t in a triumphant way at many wild
banquets. According to tradition it
came into the hands of the officers of
the Genoese republic in the year 1101.

expeditions to the cast. At the begin

its supposed value as a gem than for its
historical worth. Had the officials
known what now seems to be the fact
that the cup vas simply an cx~traordina-
ry specimen of the glass workers art,
the two hundred thousand pounds ster-
ling would no doubt have been slow in
forthcoming. When the French cap
tured Genoa the sacro catino wa a
part of the spoils. Their chemists, Jew
elers, glass workers and others tested
the sacred cup-thc majority of the ex-
p~erirncnters c%oncurring in the belief
that it had been fashioned from q gen
uinc emerald of great size and ex-
tra~crdinary lineness. Among the dis
senters was Chcvri, who contendcd that
the sacred relic was made of glass.
Since that time the genuincness of the
cup has been doubted. The testimony
Of the American jcweler mentioned adds
weight to the supposition. Many be-

there may be fifteen hundred or per-

At the meeting CT the ways and

was discussed, and it was decided not
to take final action until it was learned
whether it would be possible to i'm
port the jinrilSshas without again
clashing with the law. There is in
America . sentiment against allowing
q human being to convert himself into
a beast of burden. The Japanese en-
pcrcr also opposes the idea that his sub

fore the world. And if the jinril1shas
arc introduced both Of these opposing

AS q matter CT fact, the opposition to

lie America, the representative news.
paper of the Italian colony in Chicago
and throughout the west generally, has
special telcgraphic messages from Rome
concerning the exhibit at the worlds
fair to be made from Italy. It states
that the central committee in charge OF
the worlds fair italian exhibit, acting
with the concurrence of the chamber
of commerce at Rome, has completed
the organization of the committees ap-
pointed by the chambers of commerce
in the principal italian cities.
Milan, Genoa, Turin, Florence,
Naples and Palermo will, with Rome,
lead in the great Italian display. The
feeling and interest now thoroughly
awakened in Italy are such that it is
evident that the artists and merchants
fully understand that their exhibits to
be made in Chicago will probably open
up to them new of patronage
and commercial exchange. They arc
evidently determined to work cooper
atively and make the very best of the
opportunity.
In Rene Deputy Fcrrari, the cello
brated sculptor, is especially active in
the art circles. He : the protector
of the monument to Giovanno Bruno,
and it is stated thGt he viii send an
original statue of great beauty. Basile,
the noted architect, will forward the
designs of the Palermo exposition. The
leading features of the commercial OK
hibit will be fruits, samples of
preserved fruits, wines, collections of
medicinal plants, marble, bronze,
and metal work. Collections of
antiquities will form q part of the art
exhibit. The Italian government has
thoroughly promulgated through the
country its proclamation in reference to
the worlds fair through the agency of
the minister of commerce and agricul-
turc. While the government win send
q ship Of war to transport the exhibits
and give full official sanction to the I'M /

tails of creating, collecting AID taking
of the exhibit should be unlar-
taken blythe chamber of commerce. tits

plan rather than that the government
mould ave to organize the details OF
the worlds fair bureau. Nevertheless
It is expressly stipulated that the direc-
ion and installation of the exhibit shall
under government control.
The central committee has been in
yested with full power to pass upon all
proposals and to decide upon the value,
and appropriateness of collective
