house Of Stuart and its legitimate descend
ant, Mary, now OF Bavaria, but rightly Of
England"
one Of the little peculiaritles Of the ia
cobites is that they absolutely refuse 20
recognize the validity OF all peerages Of
England, Ireland and Scotland created
after the flight of James IL Ia 1888 Ac-
cording to their way Of reckoning al
though the present peerage of England
conslsts--so far as one IS able 20 be GER
tain for two consecutive minutes-Of ola
temporal peers only seventy-two of these
are rightly entitled to SIT IN the House Of
Lords. The rest are all Dutch and Han
noyerian creations. In the same way the
number OF Scotch peers must also be cut
down from 81 TO as, although, since no
Scotch titles have been granted by the
House of Guelph since l70 there Is not
nearly 80 great a change as in the Eng
fish peeraEe. The pecrage Of Ireland, ac-
cording TO the present figures of Burke and
Debrett, consists of two dukes, ten mar
quises. siXty-two earls, thirty-seven Wis
counts and sixty-five barons--in all, 49,
But II the Jacobites ever get into power
again, only forty-two Of these win be al
lowed 10 wear their coronets in peace and
without molestation And even Of these
the dukes and marquises would be OBJ
liged TO come down several steps in rank,
for the Stuart dukes and marquises are
al extinct, although the Ftzgeralds and
Buffers are sim the premier families OF
the Emerald Isle. Another curious fact.
according to Jacobite reckoning, Is that
Justin Mccarthy, the present leader Of the
Irish party In the House OF Commons,
would be. II he had what was due him,
and his ancestors had never been so faith
ful to tho cause Of the Stuarts, the McCar-
thy More-head of the clan, and Earl OF
Clancarty, for 50 were his ancestors known
Ia the days Of the Stuarts. This would
be especially severe on poor Belle Billion,
formerly NiscOuntess Dunlo, and now
Countess OF Clancarty, II Mary of Baya-
ria ever attalns the throne, for In that
case she would have to gain her own and
her husbands living without the aid Of
the title. and that would be something
superhuman.
Again, II the queen over the water"
ever comes into her due, an exodus Of
Livingstones from New York 10 Scotland
may be expected to take place, for In the
peerage. as preserved In the Jacobite rec
Ords, they have no fewer than three peer
ages coming TO them. the earldoms Of Lin
lithgow and Calendar. and the viscounty
Of Kilsyth. To be sure, all three OF these
hOnors have been attained ever since l7l6,
the year after the rising In favor OF the
old pretender, and the two former titles
are now held by the Earl Of Enroll. head
or the Hay iamilys But the thlfd little,
that Of Lord Kllsyth. Is the rightful and
legitimate property Of the head Of the
Livingstone family Of New York, and this
ownership ~ recognized by the Jacobltes
la what they call the Legitlmist Kalen-
dar. IL Is a fact, however. that, N tho
attainder Is ever removed from the last
peerage. and It might be done with tho
aid OF a little political influence and The
expenditure OF a good deal OF money, the
dormant peerago can be revived and tho
Livingstone family OF New York can, by
simply taking the oath OF allegiance 20 tho
British crown. once more become peers
OF Scotland, though not Of 1.-THE United
Kingdom. for the viscounty Of Knsytn
was created In 1861.
The report that the Jacobites OF Bos-

stronuously denied by Secretary Roadway.
This gentleman says that the members
OF The Boston society have neither time
nor inclination nor money TO eNpend on
such a scheme, ana, besides, the Massa-
chuseits laws regarding the Incarceration
OF persons showing evident traces or in.
