HOME ON FURLOUGH.
Michael Coyus Was a Fireman on the
Terror During Recent BON.
bardmeat at San Juan.

Michael Coyne, of Minook,-, came
home last week on a furlough of three
months after three years service in
the United States navy. He was a
fireman on the monitor Terror that
distinguished itself in the lombard
ment of San Juan de Porto Rico, and
took part also in the firing upon the
fortifcations at Matanzas and Car
denas.
Coyne would not engage in CONVEX
sation for an interview. He endeavored
to evade every reference to his exper-
ience since the war began by -aying
that the men aboarl snip are in dense
Ignorance of what is gong on compared
to landsmen. He, as fireman, was be-
low decks the greater part of the time
and his business was to keep his boil
ers fired up while he was on duty
Now and again he had a chance to OBJ
tain information when copy Of some
paper came to a member of the crew
The discipline is very strict in the
navy and furthermore there is no END
to the guying a man is subject tC
whose name appears in a newspaper
The term of enlistment in time OF
peace Is five years, but at the end OF
three years a furlough of three month:
Is given. 1t is optional with the mar
himself whether or not he goes bacl
when the three months are up. Coyn'
expects to return to duty at the expir
alton of his furlough. He wrote {
letter home a few months ago from
Key West. The Terror was then aftei
being out on active blockade duty FOL
thirty-two days. Part Of the letter wal
printed in the Tribune and the pape
was mailed to a member of the crew
whose home is in this city. The boy
read it, and Coyne didn't hear the las
of it for weeks.
Ore thing he dii say. however
was that the most enthusiastic spiri
prevails among all the men to get a
the Spaniards and drive them out o
Cuba or into the sea. The most wei
come order that can be given is "Clea
the decks for action" The Spaniards
he said, are poor marksmen.

county coast of New Jersey, has al
ways been the nesting place of many
ospreys, or fish hawks. They never
fail to come back to their island home
every spring, and they usually make
their appearance about the first week
in May. They are all rather eccentric
in their choice of nesting places, but
the oldest of all places has been chosen
by a pair of these birds at Stone Har-
Dor.
A few days ago I had occasion to
visit that resort, and while there l
went down the beach to take a look
at the wreck of a vessel that was driv-
en- ashore during the gale of Dec. 27,
1895. AS approached the wreck, which
lies several hundred yards from shore,
right in the midst of a long line of
white-capped breakers, l was surprised
to see a huge mass of sticks and sea-
weed fastened in the cross-trees Of the
mizzen-mast.
Pretty soon an osprey made its APP
pearance and fixed itself snugly away
on the nest for such it proved to be.
AS l watched, the mate of the bird on
the nest came flying in from sea, car
rying a fish in it's talons. 1t perched
on the cross-pieces of the foremast
and proceeded to enjoy its dinner.
The birds now have eggs, and in a
week or ten days. two, and perhaps
three, little ospreys will be hatched ir
their oddlylocated home. forty feet
above the white-capped breakers.
Why the birds should have choser
so unusual a place for their nest /:
beyond my comprehension, for only 6
short distance away are many large
trees, suitable for nesting sites. o.
late years, however, the ospreys have
been greatly molested by man, and i
| may be that this has taught one pair
at least, to build their nest in an in
| accessible place.

ITALIAN TITLES.
Sometimes They Are Not Held In
Vary High Esteem.

From the Providence Journal.
Throughout Europe Italian titles Of
nobility do not enjoy a very high repu-
tation; so much so, that as general
rule a mere Austrian baron is more
highly considered than an Italian mar
qus. One explanation of this fact is
that many of these Italian mobiles with
high-sounding names are not in a very
enviable financial situation; many as
founding instances may be cited of
Italian dukes and counts who occupy
the strangest positions abroad; some
are coachmen; others hotel porters;
one an interpreter In a railway station
another is butler in the family of an
American millionaire. In New York
there is a well-known Italian count
who has run an elevator for several
years past. In southern Italy, where
poverty is greater than in other por-
tions of the peninsula, the great noble
families are compelled to resort to the
most extraordinary stratagems to save
appearances. In Naples poor families
have adopted system of mutual car
riages and horses, which is somewhat
curious; five or six families agree to
pay the expenses of a luxurious estab-
lishment, generally a hand,
with coachman and footman; the car
riage door, with the various coats Of
arms of the different families, Is alone
changed, according to the family which
uses the carriage. On great occasions
these families draw lots to see which
shall use the carriage and horse.
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 a duke, Sc, 900
is sufficient; for $1,000 one may be a
marquis, and for $4,000 a count; 2,40O
| is sufficient to become a baron, and
| 81 900 for the simple prefix de" These
| figures apply only to the titles con-
| ferred by the king. But besides these
| royal titles are the dignities conferred
| by the pope, with which several Amer
| lean merchants and business men have
been honored. These papal titles are
somewhat cheaper than those conferred
| by the king. At the Vatican a brand
| new count may be created for 2,40O
and a marquis for 1000 American
| amateurs should take note of this fact
1t is hardly necessary to add that the
proud old Italian aristocrats look down
with the greatest contempt on these
parvenu noblemen. whether created by
the king or the pope. These proud
Italian aristocrats of ancient lineage
such as the Colonna, the Borkhese, the
Orsini of Rome, the Strozzi of Flor
ence. and the Visconte of Milan consid
er themselves vastly superior to the
most ancient mobiles of France and
Great Britain, and the equals of mos
royal families. Some of the old Ro.
man mobiles even claim direct descent
from the days of ancient Rome.

The jury in the shoplifting cases
against Mrs. Rachel Wincham and
Mrs. Mary Thomas, Of the North End,
came into court Saturday morning un-
able to agree upon a verdict. They
had been out since 4 o'clock Friday
afternoon. Judge Gunster discharged
them from the consideration of the
cases in which they were accused of
stealing from the Leader, the Fashion,
and the store of p. b. Finley. He told
them they must, If possible, find a
verdict in the case against the defen-
dants for stealing from the store OF
Jonas Longs Sons. The jury retired
and in twenty minutes brought in a
verdict of guilty with a recommended
ton to mercy. Attorneys Vosburg and
Dawson made a motion that sentence
be deferred until Wednesday and court
granted it.
Charles Haendiges, the youth who
was discovered burglarizing the Lead
er store, was called before Judge Guns
ter and sentence was suspended. Judge
Gunster said he was disposed to give
the boy a chance, but cautioned him
to take the lesson well to heart. The
court said that although the offense
was a serious one, that in this instance,
it was committed more out of spirit
of mischief than for the purpose of
acquiring goods dishonesty.
