TITLES CHEAP For oAsH.
II You Want to Do Prince Buy tho
Honor In ItnIY.

IL You Want to Do Prince Buy tho
Honor In Italy.
Throughout Europe Italian titles Of
nobility do not enjoy very high rep
ulation; 30 much so that, as q general
rule, more Australian baron ia more
highly considered than an Italian mar
Quis, says the London Mail. One ex-
PLANTATION OF this fact ia that many of
these Italian mobiles with hlgh-sound-
Ing handles to their names are not in
very enylablo financial situation.
Many astounding instances may be
cited OF italian dukes and counts who
occupy the strangest positions abroad.
Some are coachmen, others hotel por-
tiers, one 10 nm interpreter In railway
station, another is butler in tho family
OF an American millionaire. In New
YORK there 10 well known Italian
count who has run an elevator for
several years past, In southern Italy,
where poverty Is greater than In other
portions Of the peninsula, the great
noble families are compelled to resort
to tho most extraordinary strategema
to save appearances. In Naples moor
families have adopted q system of mu-
tual carriages and horses, which 10
somewhat curious. Five or six families
agree to pay the expenses OF a luxu-
rlous establishment, generally four
finland, with coachman and footman.
The carriage door, with the various
coats Of arms Of the different families,
Is alone changed, according to tho FAM
lily which uses thu carriage. On great
occasions these families draw lots TO
see which shall use the carriage and
horses. But strange fact is that
now, when so many noble families
have become impoverished, the Italian
government Is about to increase the
price of titles, In future the man
who wishes to bear princes crown
must pay $4,000 to the government;
to become duke $4,000 Is sufficient;
for $4,000 one may be marquis, and
for $4,000 count; $1,000 Is sufficient
to become baron and 81 900 for the
simple prefix de" These figures ap-
ply only to the titles conferred by tho
king. Besides these royal titles are
tho dignitles conferred by the pope,
with which severe American mer-
chants and business men have been
honored, These papal titles are some
what cheaper than those conferred by
the king At the Vatican q brand
new count may be created for $1,000,
and marquis for $4,000. American
amateurs should take note Of this fact.
1t Is hardly necessary to add that the
proud old Italian arlstocrats look down
with the greatest contempt on these
parvenu noblemen, whether created by
the king or the pope. These proud
Italian arlstocarts Of ancient lineage,
such as the Colonna, the Borghese, the
orslni of Rome, the Strozzi Of Flor
ence, and the vlscomte of Milan, con-
slider themselves vastly superior to tho
most ancient mobiles of Franco and
Great Britain and the equals of most
royal families. Some Of the old Roman
mobiles even claim direct descent from
the days OF ancient Rome.

GERMANY AND THE EAST.


OOnstantinoplc.
The notion OF Germany possessing
the cradle Of human civilization in AS
syria, as well as the holy places Of
Christianity, might easily attract a less
enthusiastic mind than that Of the en-
peror says the Spectator. To make
matters easier Germany has become
the patron and almost the protector of
the sultan No influence Is so power
full at ConstantInople as that of Ger
many, She can obtain concessions
which are refused to every other power.
Her officers drill the Turkish troops,
her manufacturers supply the Turks
with cannon, rifles and ammunition,
and in a number of ways the sultan has
come to be dependent upon his brother
autocrat. Originally, no doubt, the sui
tan leaned upon Germany because Ger
many seemed the one great power
which wanted nothing from Turkey
which 1t would weaken the independ-
ence and integrity Of Turkey to give.
We can hardly suppose that this Ia still
the view entertained at the Porte, but
Turkey is now too much beholden to
Germany to be able to withdraw. She
cannot shake off her formerly disinter-
ested and yet helpful friend, even
though 1t now seems probable that this
friend will ultimately follow the ex-
ample of the others, and will want to
concentrate, and so strengthen" the
power Of Turkey by slicing off few
outlying provinces. But in all prob
ability the emperor's dream does not
really stop at slicing Off provinces, The
world has been hesitating long and
YEARLY as to who is to have Constan-
tinople, and there seems no possibility
Of agreement among the rival claim
ants. Under such circumstances, what
could be more natural than that 1t
should ultimately fall to Germany?
That, however, is a piece Of German
"ldealism" which can be kept IN the
background for the present.

The present management OF the
b. state gram inspection department is
the best in the history Of the state.
Tho work is not only done with grea
profit TO the state but inspection fees
have been greatly reduced. The re-
duciion is about 40 per cent and still
the department has ample funds to
keep all necessary help. The old short
weight deal ut the big elevators at
great ccnters is being shut off. BY
means Of it shippers lost several hun
dred pounds on every car. OF course
this effected the prices paid The pro-
Queer as he had to pay snail enough
price TO make up for his short weight
losses. Inspector Culver has made
very little noise about the manner in
which his department has been con-
Quoted but his work has been very
creditable.
*s*
Cy Leland is not in politics for his
health, For some time he has Mt lcast
three of his relatives in the govern
ment service. His son is now post
Office inspector in New York.
w.
In 1895 it was claimed that Morrill,
was not making any promises relative
to the distribution Of patronage but
after election it was discovered that
Leland had promised everything for
him and that things went as the latter
directed. Perhaps Stanley is not maxi
Ing pledges now but it would interest
place-hunters to know who is doing il
for him.

Sullivan used to tell aspirants for q
pugilistic contest that they would have
to go and get reputation before he
would consider their challenges. Stry-
ker's friends think that Frank Nelson
should do the same. He ought to
practice up on country school before

There have been frequent reports
that the Twenty.frst Kansas wanted
to be mustered out of the government
service Governor Leedy began an in
vostigation in the matter as soon 40
the matter reached him. 1t was not
long until he became satisfied that the
majority Of the boys were anxious to
get home so he wired Adjutant Gener-
al Corbn as follows: II am reliably
informed that q very large majority OF
tho Twenty-first Kansas volunteers
desire to return to their homes In view
of the fact that there seems to be no
probability Of their being assigned to
active duty, and the further fact that
they do not desire to do garrison duty
in the United States or elsewhere.
therefore request that they be muster
ed out" Very shortly after the re-
ceipt of the Governors telegram Gen.
eral Corbin issaed an order directing
that the Twenty-hrst Kansas be trans
ported to Leavenworth to be mustered
out. The regiment is now at Licking
ton, Kentucky, and will reach Leaven-
worth some time next week. The Gov
ernor's action in this matter indicates
that he is as ever willing to do any
thing that he can do to favor the boys
who Loyalty responded to the call OF
arms when their country needed them.
