A Title Of Nobility Refused,

1t is common thing in Europe for
kings and queens to reward such OF
their subjects as may have become
famous in war. in politics or in litera-
ture, 10y bestOwing titles upon them.
Occasionally, however, this honor 10
refused, but the instances are SO rare
that when they do occur they are al.
ways thought worthy OF mention.
After the late German Emperor,
Frederick Ill, had begun his brief
reign. he determined TO raise some
leading representatives OF industry
and commerce to the peerage.
Herr krupp, the inventor OF the
krupp cannon, at whose mandatory
eighteen Thousand men are regularly
employed, had died short time be.
fore, but his son had succeeded to his
business, aud the young mans name
was placed by the emperor upon the
role OF honor.
When he heard of this he at once
took train to Berlin and secured an
audience of Prince bismarck. who
was then Chancellor. He insisted
chat the Pr nee should ask the En-.
perOr to strike his name from the list,
but this Bismarck refused to do

yet expired"
! Bismarck thought this plea might
be urged upon the Emperor, without
! wOunding his feelings, and he
, p' p'omised to put it before him that
day.
Frederick was really dying then,
and could not speak on account Of

ma OK told him what krupp had

Then e seemed to see the matter in
new light, nodded assent aud wrote
on his tablets

my best wishes"

In spite of all the Franco Russian
hobnobbing and the pow-wowing,
which is deemed by the astute foreign
correspondents to menace England as
much as Germany. there is every
reason TO believe that further al
liances between the English and
Russian royal families are contem-
plated. First Of all it is declared
that the Youngest daughter OF the
Prince of Wales is to be tetrothed to
the Czarowitz. Next the Grand Duke
Paul, the Cars younger brother. i
