Italian Titles for Sale Cheap

While the action Of the italian govern
ment in proposing to impose tax on nobil-
iary titles must be commended since it will
tend to restrict in a measure these very
questionable honors, 1t is difficult to under
stand what It can hope to gain by passing
a law rendering titles salable. They are
salable already, but in quiet way, the
purchase money being officially described
as "fees of registration" and as "dues to
the chancellor's office"
These registration fees amount in the
case of a title of duke to $4,000, while
II prince has to pay $1,000 and count 5000
a baron being called upon for $4,000. Per-
sons are perfectly willing to pay these fees
as such, and, providing they pay them, they
get the title, no matter how questionable
their antecedents, many a shady past and
a disgraced name Of England Germany
France and Russia being concealed be-
meath the impenetrable mantle of a sonor-
Gus Italian title.
According to the dispatches from Rome
the price at which these honors are to be
sold by the government are identical with
those hitherto charged as fees of registra-
tion. So 1t is difficult to see that the treas
llry will be gamer by the new law. Or
the contrary, 1t is likely to be loser. For
If Italian titles are officially and publicly
declared as articles of barter, purchas
| able by any one willing to pay the price
| they will lose what little value they nov
possess, and people will be ashamed to us

AGAIN TO BE A BRIDE
Ward McAllister's One-Time Daugh-
ter-in-Law Engaged

News comes from Savannah that Miss
jamie Champion Garmany Of that city,
who captivated the late Ward McAllister' s
son Hayward and got divorce from him,
Is about to be married again. This time
the bridegroom is Augustus p. Brandt of
the firm of William Brandt, Sons & Co.,
bankers, of London.
Since her divorce Miss Garmany has
lived much abroad. She met Mr.. Brandt in
Egypt several months ago.
Hayward Hall McAllister, or, as his in
Inmates call him, "Hady" McAllister, was
married to Miss Garmany on August %,
1887, by the Rev. Arthur H. Judge Of the
Church of Heavenly Rest, this city. Their
marriage was kept secret, and it was not
until May, 1892, that notice of 1t was pub
lished.
Miss Garmany Is the daughter of Geo.
w. Garmany, wealthy speculator in real
estate, and is connected with some of the
best families in Georgia. Young McAllister
met her in Savannah in 1885, The Meal
listers originally came from Georgia. Young
McAllister owned plantation outside the
city. which had been given to him by his
uncle, w. IL. Gibbons. Mr.. Gibbons had
two nephews. Frank Lathrop and Hey
ward McAllister, of whom he was very
fond. He tried them, tested their business
capacity, and to McAllister he gave this
plantation, stocked with valuable cattle
and sheep.
But McAliister neglected business and
the plantation to go to Savannah to visit
Miss Garmany, who lived with her wild
owed mother. She was then about 20
years old. very pretty. with brown eyes
and a most amiable manner. 1t was said
that their marriage was kept secret be-
cause Mr. McAllister had not an income
sufficient to support his wife. The publi-
cation of their marriage was brought about
by Mrs. McAllister, who came to New
York and let her husband know that she
proposed to take her rlghtful position be-
fore the world. He consulted his lawyer,
Albert Gallup, then park commissioner. All
the persons concerned went out of town
until the sensation caused by the an
nouncement of the marriage had subsided.
There was much gossip and some bitter
ness, which was intensified by the declara-
ton from both sides that the young people
would never live together.
Mrs. McAllister returned to Savannah,
and three years after the publication of
her marriage she was granted an absolute
divorce. She alleged that on May 2, 1892,
her husband deserted her. and, without
cause, continued his desertion for three
years. The court gave her permission to
take her maiden name-the name that she
will now change to Brandt.
Young Mr.. McAllister is now about 81
years old. He is a member Of the Unior
and other clubs. When his uncle Gibbons
died he left the bulk of his fortune tt

More Water Wanted

SANTA ANA, March 5.-A special meet
ing of the city council of Santa Ana was
held last night to consider the supply of
more water. The first measure taken was
to reduce the time Of sprinkling from to
Z p. m. to to Z p. m. The ordinance pro-
hibiting the running of water through an
open hose is to be strictly enforced here
after. Many persons have recently been
fined. and parties sprinkling after time will
also be subject to fine The board has
abandoned, for the present, the plan of
bringing the water from the Cole ranch
into the city, and is considering plan to
secure a larger flow from the city wells at
the waterworks. They propose to sink a
shaft ten feet in diameter around well No,
8 and place pump in the shaft fifteen or
more feet below the ground level, which 1t
Is believed will give better flow and make
pumping easier. The pump could be
operated at the power house, and do away
with new pumping plant, which would
be necessary II the Cole well was used.
