NOTES.

The Baltimore papers on Wednesday con-
tanned an item that is misleading. 1t was
stated that Sergeant Warren j. Hanes and
Sergeant Major John G.. Constable, of Com
pany E., Of Elkton, had been discharged
giving the idea to those uninformed as to
army customs and terms the impression that
the young men had been summarily dismissed
from the service OF the Government. The
fact is that they have been commissioned
Licutenants in companies of the First Mary
land Regiment and to fill which positions
they were "discharged' from their former
grades.

America continues to supply noble
contingent Of exceedingly handsome as
we'll as wealthy brides to foreign noble
men, for good looks and money are not
a rare combination in this fortunate
country Of ours. Sometimes, however,
the much maligned foreigner, who is
supposed to seek our women chiefly for
their worldly goods, falls . very willing
victim to the innate charm Of the capti-
waiting beauty alone Of the American
girl, and when this is the case he is
quite as eager to make her his wife,
though her dover may be modest to q
degree. It was for her capable, clever
salf alone that Mr.. Joseph Chamber
lain courted and married Miss Endicott;
Miss Jennie Chamberlain, by her lovely
face, won the love of one of the richest
men in England, and Lady Vernon
Haroourt carried no large dot to her
husband in the pocket of her wedding
gown. Another admira BILE love match
was that contracted last June between
Miss Maude Roosevelt le Vinsen and
Baron Wilhelm Mumm Won Schwarzen-
stein of Frankfort on.the- Main.

daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Carl Won

seen in the United States, but for all
that she is patriotic young American
and proud CT the Roosevelt in her name.

the reception day is also placed upon

A married woman uses her husband s
full name or initials (never an honorary
rank or title) prefxed by Mrs, thus
Mrs. Charles Epps Blank or Mrs. c. E
Blank. Directly after marriage card
engraved with the name of husband and
wife is frequently used, as Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles Epps Blank, and this card
is also much employed in sending g fits,
messages of congratulation or condo
lence.
When a household consists of one,
two or more young daughters about to
enter society, the name Of the debutante
is engraved on her mothers cards.
Later. when another sister enters the

girl may have a separate card, while

Of her cousin, Baroness A. B. Won Oren-

years ago was a famous New York
beauty, and, though very we'll provided

ess This seems, however, to have had
no effect upon the ardor or ambition OF
Baron Wilhelm Of Frankfort, for on her
return to Germany in the spring Miss
LIE Xinsen's engagement to this rich
and fasiouable parsonage was an
nounced. -
The fates have smiled on this inter-
national alliance, for the baron is
young, good looking and one Of the rich
men Of Germany. He possesses mar
velously fine house in the old city where
Goethe was born. and his wife is more
than usually we'll equipped for her ex-
allied position in a foreign land. Ger
man is quite as familiar a language to
her as English, and in Germany she re-
ceived her musical education. Her voice
is an admirable soprano, and in addi-
tion she plays on the piano and violin
with more than amateur skill. An ex-
cellent linguist and a capable horse
woman. and her list of accomplishments
is complete, and these, added to her
beauty and sweet disposition, seem a
combination of happy conditions that
Uncle Sam will not soon improve upon
when he again bestows a fine wife ON
some Of his foreign cousins.

LET Us JUDGE JUSTLY.

When the tide of public excitement
started by the Lee incident was at lis
height the iingoes for the most part stop
ped to catch their breath. They began tc
realize that the TRAN was getting toe
fresh, and that war was not "A pleasant
thing for nation TO have on hand. Now,
the tide having reCeded almost as rapidly
as il rose. we hear in jingo quarters talk
OF SPANS backdown," of the rapid APP
preach of the hour of Intervention, and
of the United States putting themselves
rapidly i'm position to clean out the Span
iards The suggestion is also thrown out
that Spain had a sinister purpose in
Withdrawing her intimation that she de-
sired General Lees recall. that purpose
being to gain time in which to purchase
war vessels
All this is unbecoming of us and unjust
TO Spain. The facts speak for themselves.
In intimating. however slight the intima-
ton. a desire for General Lees recall
the Sagasta Government made mistake.
This mistake occurred in a moment Of
papers of Madrid. When the mistake was
seen it was promptly corrected, and that
ii was corrected is to the credit of Spain.
In sense. the correction was an over
turc of peace 10 this country. as was the
granting of the autononist programme in
Cuba. In view Of the fact that the init
nation was an informal one, SPANS
course in receding involved no compro-
mise of her dignity. AS to our prepara-
tons for war, they are a wise precau-
ton. but TO flaunt them and speedy in
tervention in the face of Spain as a
threat partalses of puerile braggadocio.
Our breakdown" cleaning out" and
similar talk puts us in the position in the
eyes of the world of trying TO provoke
Spain to some overt act. TO bring about
"a unjustifable war by doing this would
DC as great crime as would be the
bringing about of such war by commit
ting an overt act ourselves.
No. Spain's sins are many, but since
the advent of the Sagasta ministry she
has done much to make us think better
of her and give us pause in the matter
OF judging her. And we should aim TO
judge her justly, in order that we may
d, justice To ourselves, and may be justi-
fled by our own conscience and in the
opinion of the world in the final settle
ment, no matter what it may be.

THE STATE DEPARTMENT.

The recent crisis in our relations with
Spain has started in the North another
wall over the disabled condition" of the
state Department-that is, over the fact
that, practically, we have no Secretary of
State The New York Journal of Com
merce says that there has been no move
ment since the civil war when we had
the need we now have of clear-headed
fOrceful man of sound judgment and per-
feet balance and self-control at the head
of the foreign office. Secretary Shermans
health, adds the Journal, makes it i'm
practicable for him to take the part his
position requires at this exigency, and
the retention of an Office whose duties he
is unable to perform adds nothing to his
reputation and Is an embarrassment to
the administration. These views are re-
fiected by many of the Journals contem-
poraries, regardless of their political bias.
and there is no question that the
Journal and those who agree with it do
not exaggerate the situation.
However the administration is only
reaping what it sowed The disabled con-
dition of the State Department is but
one of the bitter fruits OF political con-
spiracy TO which the administration was
a party principal. In its embarrassment
the administration is only experiencing
its share of the curse of Hannaism-a
curse for the fastening of which upon
the country Mr.. Mckinley is more re-
sponsible than any other man. Sherman
was appointed Secretary of State, not on
account of his fitness for the position
for the fact that he was failing must
have been known when he was APP
pointed-but in order to clear the way
for the realization ct Hannas senatorial
ambition. The aged high priest of Ohio
Republicanism was sacrificed on the altar
Of his own vanity by Mckinley, as a
thank Offering to Mark. Therefore, for
whatever may eventuate from the dis
abled condition" of the Department OF
State, whether affecting the administra-
ton alone or the nation, the administra-
ton will be responsible.
