SOME ROYAL PRETENDERS

The Duchess Maria Theresa of Lor-
raine d Este, wife of Prince Louis Of
Bavaria, descends, in fact, direct from
Charles 1, to the ninth generation by
the female line, and thus obtains her
so-called right of inheritance to the
crown of the Stuarts. The Duchess
does not, however, attach much import
ance to the claims made in her behalf,
for she herself was the first to ask of
her father-in-law, the old Prince Re-
gent of Bavaria, that her son, Prince
Rupert, might be sent to England as
the representative of his house on the
occasion of the Diamond Jubilee cele-
bration. But if John Bull has no seri-
Gus claimants for his kingdom, Jacques
Bonhomme is not so fortunate He has
enough to spare. The chief of these is,
of course, the Duke of Orleans, who is
no silent pretender.
Then there is Don Carlos, Duke of

terminates in a revolving sieve. This
sieve is kept in motion by the draught,
and has the effect of scattering the fuel
over the furnace in such way that it is
at once infiamed without smoke and
with very little ash. Coal of compare
lively low quality can be economically
used in this powdered form, and the
only drawback to the process seems to
be the necessity for using a separate
machine for the grinding of the coal to
powder. On the other hand, the slack
of dust which forms a necessary by
product of the coal industry will find
here field for employment which will
be much appreciated by owners of
mines and merchants generally

TIE nArrsr "uoKEMENa. !.

1t appears that Miss Vance, lovely
and enterprising English woman, is at
the head of movement to furnish rail-
road carriages exclusively for women
who smoke. This is interesting, but
even more interesting is the fact that
Miss Vance is receiving hearty support
from sympathizers of her own sex. She
has received more than one hundred
and fifty letters from such sympathiz-
ers, and some of them are very encour-
aging to her, to the movement and to
all the friends of tobacco and equality.
A woman doctor writes: las to your
darling scheme wish you every sue
cess" This from a young girl: 1--WE
will bring all our girl friends forward
to help YOU, as they, as well as our
selves, are forced at present to smoke
anywhere out Of sight" Another says:
1--WE women are bound to have 1t ac-
knowledged, sooner or later, that we
smoke" This letter from a typical
worker: "All women workers will thank
you for your letter. During three years
of late night work found smoking in
valuable, and now would not think of
doing without it. Could we not start a
women smokers club?"
Success to the movement to give wo-
men who smoke fair show. Women
who smoke are entitled to all the privi-
leges that men who smoke have, and a
few more.

NOT STRONG ON THE SEA.

A Review of Spanish History.
1t was not by sea that Spain won her
supremacy, and not by naval victories
that she laid her grip on every quarter
of the globe. Even when her power
and wealth seemed irresistible, when
her military reputation was at it's
height, when the world was strewn
with her territories, and the ocean Ia
den with her argosies and fleets, her
real naval power was utterly incom-
mensurate with the astonishing pre-
tensions which she made. AS soon as
England and Holland laid a finger on
it her maritime empire crumbled into
the dust. The Armada only revealed
fact which England sailors had for
long suspected, and the consciousness
of which explains brakes sublime con-
tempt for the menaces of Spain-the
fact that, even at the zenith of their
The daily morning journal and courier. [volume] (New Haven, Conn.) 1894-1907, 1898-05-12

| fame, the Spaniards had no mastery
of the arts by which the sea is held.
Is there on record q. battle which
shows that Drake and Blake and Jarvis
and Nelson were mistaken in their low
estimate of Spanish seamen? Can any
of us recall the name of Spanish adj
miral of genius, or of any great Span
ish naval victory since Lepanto, which
was Won largely by Venetian crews?
If we look at the history of Spain since
the Armada we find only a succession
of naval disasters, a succession of tri-
umphs for any state which has vent
ured to grapple with the Spaniards on
sea.
Take the history of the seventeenth
century and follow the career of the
Dutch admirals and of the greatest of
Nelson's predecessors-Blake. Take the
eighteenth century, and notice how
even Alberoni and Potino failed, with
all their efforts, to resuscitate the fleets
of Spain. Take the modern war in
Chile, and mark how few antagonists
Cochrane could find there worthy of his
steele. Even in the days of her greatest
power at sea Spain was VIGOROUSLY de-
t1cient in the capacity of her sailors,
and since those days she has steadily
declined.
To-day Spanish gunners and Spanish
engineers are confessedly among the
worst in Europe. 1t would be little
short of a miracle if it should turn out
that Spain within the last two decades
had bred race of seamen capable of
reversing that unvarying misfortunes
of the past. 1t is when we consider the
temper and traditions Of the opposing
nations, far more than when we study
their resources and their fleets, that we
realize how little probability war
would offer even of a transient Spanish
victory, and how much there is to JUS
tify the American peoples expectation
that from the very beginning of the
contest they would sweep the Span
iards from the sea.--From the Speaker.

Chicago has an odd trade in owls, ac-
cording to the Times-H Herald of that
city, the supply coming to the commits
sion merchants from the farmers boys
in the nearby States. The first owl
which came to Chicago in this manner
, was sent at venture by farmer boy
who had somehow managed to entrap
it alive. 1t proved so unexpectedly
successful in Kidding the warehouse of
rats and miee-having been freed at
night with the idea of making an ex-
pertinent in this direction-that it was
purchased by the man in whose care it
was resting. The freedom from rodents
which it brought induced other COM
mission men to look out for owls, and
from the commission firms the idea
gradually spread to the grocers, butch
ers and market-ksepers generally of
the city. Now large percentage OF
these men keep an owl down in the cell
lar during the daylight, and bring it UP
to the store when darkness falls. 1t is

The Figaro, of Paris, says that the
French Red Cross has recently opened
a subscription for the benefit Of the
future wounded Of the Spanish-Ameri-
can war, and has headed it with a con-
tribution Of $4,000 francs. ITO speak
frankly" says the writer Of the article,
1--WE owe this action to foreign nations,
for they all showed an admirable gen.
crosby toward our wounded during the
war Of 1S70-'71. The United States sent
us at that time 100000 francs; Canada,
1000; Spain, 10000; Italy, $4,000; little
Denmark, 100000: the Argentine Re-
public, 100000; Chill, 100000: Peru, co.
900; Russia, $4,000; in all about 5000, 900
francs. Our Red Cross. having spent
more than 12,500,000 francs for our
wounded during the fatal year, had
still remaining in it's treasury more
than 100000 francs. At present the
society has on hand 100000 francs. It
sent to Spain 10000 francs for the
wounded in the Carlist war, 297, 900 in
the Turco-Russian war, 10000 for the
wounded in Tunis, $4,000 for Tonquin,
$4,000 for Madagascar--in all 5000, 900
francs since the war with Germany.

Berlin has only Just exchanged her
horse railroads for electric ones. She
has been very late in making this
change for Leipsic, Hamburg, Dres-
den Frankfort and many other smaller
towns have long ago adopted the cleo
trio tram. Soon, however, she will es-
tablish a very transatlantic method of
conveyance through her chief streets,
for report says that an electric circular
railroad is to be constructed at the
height Of the first story. The occu-
pants Of houses on the route are not
precisely delighted at the idea of their
privacy being invaded, but it has been
represented to them that there will be
far less danger of being run over, as
the new railroad will greatly lessen
the traffic in the streets; so, doubtless,
the Berliner will soon accustom him
self to his new railroad and end by ap-
preciating its merits.

That division of Maryland which Is
known as the "IIa stern Shore" contains
no vast extent OF territory, and It is peo-
pied by no immense multitude; no great
historical event has occurred there; it
has not had the fierce light OF publicity
turned upon every happening within its
borders: 1t Is not n state: 1t Is not an
empire; it has no gold or silver or coal
mines. no oil or gas wells; and 1t has
no Imperial possibilities; It Is not the
center OF the world; no large metropolis
exists upon 1t, and none ever Will exist
there.
Nevertheless, IL is famous region; its
local name is known TO most OF the in
tclligent citizens OF the United States,
and the place indicated by the title Is at
once understood. 1t has a greatness Of
it7 own, and has claims upon public
attention. Its situation Is interesting;
it's population has a marked character;
It's products are valuable. and are in de-
mand everywhere in this land. and in
