ment on any lord that ever lived. In
the words of the groceryman, they
didn't want no earis or counts sitting
around on their cracker-b barrels. OF
course, they are just as ridiculous as
their ancestors were when they Doweu
and scraped before some feudaf lord,
for rampant and blatant exaltation OF
manual labor above the work of the
brain is simply a reaction from the ser
vile attitude. But in the case OF these
New York people who have sucn
yearning after titles, and decorations,
and cousinship with royalty, and Ola
World institutions generally, it seems
to be an atayistic remnant OF medle-
val emotion cropping out in those who
have nothing better to think or feel.
Most people have had touches of this
ancestral emotion, when they were
children. Children like to play kings
and queens" and dress themselves IN
old clothes and tinsel and gilt paper,
and lord it over one another, with
vague, unconscious barking back to
the days when their ancestors did such
things in earnest. But most people,
when they arrive at years of maturity,
cease TO play at this sort of thing. ana
succeed in finding something reaiiy
worth while about which they can busy
themselves. If they have read any
history, they have discovered that most
ancient families are more or less dubl-
Gus when considered as relatives. SO
far as their personal character is con-
cerned. and Americans IN general have
come to the sensible conclusion that II
is Just as well to be descended IL Dm
a long line of yeomen who had some
simple ideals and lived up to them as
to boast remote cousinship with some
earl or other who in at least five cases
out of ten would not have been received
in respectable yeoman society had he
lived without a title. If these New
York people are really anxious to nave
titles, homemade or otherwise, the
Earl and Earl-ess of Random are rec
commended as examples of appropriate
and convenient nomenclature-shor
expressive and easily remembered.

ECHOES FROM ABROAD.

A cablegram from London uninten-
tionally pays high tribute to American
newspapers when it says:
People here seem to think that the
De LONE letter was obtained not by any
of the Cuban insurgents, but by some
of the agents of the American newSpa-
pers, and there seems to be a DISPOSE
ton 70 condemn not only the method
of obtaining the letter, but likewise its
publication. 1t is set down as a Won
derful piece Of American journalistic en-
terprise. but, at the same time, it is de-
nounced as being of too questionable a
character to suit English tastes"
More than ordinary interest attaches
to the financial ruin of the popular Lord
de LIsle and Dudley, who has been ga
zetted as a bankrupt, owing to the fact
that he is the representative and chief
of the illustrious house of Sydney, of
which Sir Philip Sydney the Elizabeth
an knight, was perhaps the most cele-
brated member Indeed, the bankruptcy
of Lord de L'Isle and Dudley will have
the effect Of closing the ancestral nome
of the SydneyS at PenShurst, in Kent,
which has been frequently described as
the finest baronial mansion in the United
Kingdom. Penshurst dates from the
thirteenth century, and the baron'S hall,
which is the oldest portion of the build
ing, retains most of its original features.

fairly accurate. are nine ard three

10000 persons nOt really Egyptians, but
who come from other parts Of the Otto

DAY AND HAY

A Washington dispatch says ut was
stated in an authoritative quarter today
that the choice of Mr.. Hay was due
solely to his general fitness for the po-
sition." Now we happen to know how
there came to be this vacancy for Mr..
Hay to fill. Judge Day, President Nc
Kinley's able and popular secretary Of
state, frankly declared that he left the
cabinet because he was too poor man
to stay there. He had only the salary Of
$4,000 a year with which to fill the social
niche that an American cabinet officer
occupies in these days of alleged repub-
lican simplicity. Judge Day is per-
sonal friend of the president, his towns
man in Ohio, and there is no reason to
believe that the position Of secretary of
state was not to his liking.
John Hay has the important qualifi-
cation which Judge Day lacked. Through
the gate of matrimony he passed from
newspaper poor-devilism to the glitter
of millionairedom. Since he went to
England as American ambassador we
nave HedTu great uedl dpout JoHn
Hays peculiar aptitude for place in
the cabinet. AS an entertainer he has
astonished even royalty. One of his ele-
CANT receptions would probably cost as
much as the paltry years salary Of the
secretary of state. Day was too poor for
the place. Hay is quite rich enough.
That is the sum and substance Of the
transition from Day to Hay.
