er who needs an advance of money to
pay usurious interest for 1t. whereby
his ruin is speedily effected and the
property Is brought to sale. On the
other hand, a large property changes
hands at less comparative expense. and
the necessity of a sale to meet tenn
porary difficulties is at less cost OBJ
waited by a mortgage. which permits
the Owner to hold on till some windfall
of legacy or marriage once more rein
states him in easy circumstances and
enables him to take advantage of his
poorer neighbors' necessities. The
g%rievous evils of this system were de-
nOunced by Lord Brougham 20 years
ago. and have since been repeatedly the
subject of discussion from the platform
and of debate in parliament.
The long neglect on the part of the
English law making power to remedy
a grievance so patent as that imposed
by the delay and costs of the convey
ancing system is more surprising be-
cause Ions ago a cure for them was
devised in South Australia, and has
been since adopted by the other Aus
tralian colonies. We refer to the So
called Torrens act, which is likely to
serve as a model for the laws govern
ing the state registration and insurance
or land title all over the world. In
pursuance of the South Australian stat
ute, all the titles to real estate in the
colony were carefully Investigated by
government searchers, and. having
been verified, were duly registered.
The validity of the titles, thus verified
and recorded. vas henceforth guaran-
teed by the state. The effect of this
legislation was to assimilate real to
personal property as regards. ease,
quickness and cheapness of transfer.
For a certain small fee. which has
been gradually reduced till it now
amounts to only a few pennies, the
owner of a piece of real estate receives
from the registrar of the locality where
1t is situated a short certificate setting
forth it's boundaries, the legal incum-
brances thereon, If my. and the fact
that his title Is guaranteed by the
state. Should he desire to sell or mort
gage his property, he takes his certih-
cate to the nearest registrar, who. in a
few minutes. and for an insignificant
fee, enters the sale or mortgage in his
book. and indorses the same on the
back of the original certificate. In this
way the certificate of title to real es-
tate can be transferred as easily as can
a promissory note, and the ~seque
is that land becomes the favorite in
vestment for the savings of the poor.

Patriotic songs Bring Down the House
In MissouIn.

In Missoula.
Missoula. April lit only requires a
display of the stars n stripes these
days to set any sort of gathering afire.
At the local concert halls h artists
who receive the loudest applause are
the ones that sing patriotic songs. The
audiences of lumber jacks, miners.
transients and strollers rise to their feet
and join in the choruses with an energy
that shows where their sympathies are.
At one of the concert halls this week
there is a series of illustrated n be-
ing presented. The songs are illus
trated, as the music progresses, by pict-
ures thrown upon a screen from a
s~tereopticon. The house is dark dur
ing these numbers, and sometimes there
is a little noise from some corner or
another while the singing Is in prog
ress. But there is one song that Is
on the programme this week that hush
es every sound in the audience while it
is being rendered. 1t Is a new one,
with the Cuban situation for it's theme.
and is entitled. Uncle Sam. Why Are
You Waiting?" The pictures that are
thrown upon the screen portray the
Maine and her crew. with a number of
allegorical pictures i'm which Uncle San
figures. with Columbia and the stars
and stripes thrown in frequently. When
this song Is begun the customary
sounds of the hall are silenced, and
there is the closest attention paid to
the rendition of the music. Wien the
last strains of the first chorus have
been sung the music of the interlude is
drowned i'm the loud applause that fol-
lows. When the next chorus comes
there are enough i'm the audience who
have caught the air to swell the chorus
considerably, and when the last chorus
Is sung it is taken up all over the house
with a fervor that is contagious. The
house rings Will Uncle Sam. Why Are
You Waiting" and when the last line
has been sung and the stereopticon
throws upon a canvas a handsome
picture of Uncle Sam, UNFOLDING the
stars and stripes, the crowd goes wild,
and the song is called for again and
again. 1t is the same way every night.
The audience never gets enough of it.
One of them shows Uncle Sam with his
sword pointed at a PROSTATE Spaniard
of most murderous aspect. The Sec
ond shows hat Uncle Sam has given
the Spaniard what he needed. Then
there is a wild cheer. This precedes
the last chorus and adds much to the
fervor with which IL Is sung.

PARIS SPLENDID ENTERTAINER.
DE Doudeauville Dies After .
Magnificent Society Career.

Magnificent Society Career.
One of the greatest society bellies of
Paris, the Duchesse De Doudeauville,
has just died at her hotel i'm the Rue de
Varenne, after a three days attack of
meningitis. The duchesse was So years
old. and no entertainment and society
functions in Europe for the last quar-
ter of a century eclipsed hers. She be-
longed to one of the most illustrious
houses OF European aristocracy. Her
father ever refused to accept the Bel
gian throne in 1880 when IL was offered
to him. Being married to a La Roche
foucald, she had no need of royalty
emanating from a throne, for she was
naturally a queen in manner, dignity
and charms, and on account of her
birth n marriage was received at any
court in Europe. She was destined by
her nature, a. well as her education, to
be "a leader in society.
The duchesse was a Belgian princess
and an aunt of the present Prince DE
Ligne. She was the second wife of the
Due De Doudeauville. to whom she was
married in 1862. h possessed, her
friends say, that supreme art of doing
i'm a society way whatever she attempt
ed in a manner so grand, finished and
perfect that it baffied imitation. Her
receptions were the most magnificent
and elaborate given in Paris in recent
years. even excelling those of the OFF,
GERS of the ministry.
These entertainments were always
given at her palatial hotel i'm the Rue
de Narenne. 1t is an ideal place in
which to entertain. being built espe-
cially for that purpose. There is no
other such house in Paris.
The duchesse was probably the best
known society figure in Europe. Her
equipages were the finest, n her
wealth untold. She had the reputation
of giving more literally to charity than
any other society woman in the French

LAND TRANSFER IN ENGLAND.
An Act of Parliament That Cuts Mucl,
Costly Red Tape.

From Golfers Weekly.
Very little attention has been paid
to the fact that in the last session OF
parlia ment there was passed a land
transfer act which is likely to render a
greater service to the mass of poor and
well-to-do persons in England than any
piece of legislation since the passage OF
the corn laws. The land transfer act
contemplates the ultimate registration
of all titles to real property in England,
but owing To the fierce opposition of So
licitors. who are threatened with the
loss of most of their inordinate profits
from conveyancing. the law is to be
applied tentatively. That is to say,
the privy council are empowered to re-
quire from any one county, or part
thereof. the compulsory registration Of
title on the sale of and, six months.
however, are given the county council
of the district affected to consider the
proposal. and IL two-thirds of its MEM
bers object, the order is not to take
effect.
The privy council has selected the
county of London as the first area
wherein to apply the act. but IL Is not
yet certain that the county council will
acauiesce, as there is violent opposi-
tion to the proposal in view of the null
tttude of properties and the value n
compleNity of the transactions which
will have to be examined. That is. of
course. the very reason why the privy
u n were we'll advised in their Sc
lection; for in only three counties
namely. London, Yorkshire and Lanca-
shire-could the new be ade-
quately tested. Should the county
council prove recalcitrant the result
will probably be the passage of an
amendment making the immediate APP
plication of the act compulsory all over
England. for public opinion is now
thoroughly aroused in V OF the
measure. N the selfish resistance OF
solicitors will no longer be effective.
What Englishmen are now witnessing
is the first substantial outcome Of an
agitation which has been going on for
three-quarters Of a century. In no
other civilized country on the globe g

expensive as that which mas prevailed
up To the present day in England. So
