lions In New York.
The failure OF the Earl OF Yarmouth
as a vaudeville performer here has
raised in the American press, and also
among the American public, the ques-
tion AZ to what particular line mem
bers Of the European nobility may
hope to achieve success In when forced
w circumstances to earn their own liy-
ing In the new world. The inquiry is
not unnatural. For, whereas England
Is indebted for her colonial dependen-
cies very largely to the younger sons
OF the houses Of her titled and untitled
aristocracy who have prospered beyond
the sea, the fact remains that by far
the largest number Of British and for
eign mobiles and men of gentle birth
who come to the United States in
search Of livelihood fall by the way,
and achieve notoriety only by the Ia
mentable character OF their failures.
Few have attained distinction in any
walk of life in the United States, and
thus furnish an eloquent theme to
those here who are fond OF denounc-
Ing the general unfltness OF the Euro
pean aristocracy as class. Since l
have been in the United States have
known of prince OF the illustrious
house of Rohan to be discharged from
tenth-class restaurant on Second ave-
nue. in New York for inefficiency as
waiter; Count Karoyli of Austria to
fail as hotelkeeper; the brother OF
an Irish peer. who shall be nameless,
to lose his job as doorman for drunk
enness; while helped to bury poor
young Lord Drummond. grandson and
heir to the venerable Earl of Perth.
and French Duke Of Melfort, who, after
acting as gatekeeper OF the elevated
railroad in New York died as night
porter OF one OF the great daily news
papers of New York. I have found a
son Of Count Bernstein, who died as
ambassador of Germany in London,
starving in the streets of New York,
after losing his position as drummer
for brand Of American champagne. A
son OF the present Prince Blucher died
IN the paupers ward of a hospital mere,
and while have met a Count Funfkir-;
chen acting as money-taker at a dime
museum on the Bowery, have had my
fares collected on crosstown car here
by Count Finckenstein, a scion of
the same Prussian house as that to
which the young officer belonged who
was associated with Frederick the
Great in his attempted fight to Eng
land while still crown prince. Count
Finckenstein. the car conductor, had
himself held commission in the First
regiment of Prussian foot guards. and
died lst week in home for the desti-
tute a Baltimore. In fact, the list Of
titled human shipwrecks in the United
States is so great as to justify the
Americans in asserting that .le failure
OF Lord Yarmouth as vaudeville per-
former merely serves to demonstrate;
once more the inability Of the members
OF the European aristocracy to hold
their own in the struggle for life in
the United States.-New York Letter in
the London Express.

Traits of the Khedive.

Abbas H., the khedive of Egypt, who
is visiting in England, is splendid
linguist, speaking English, French,
German and Italian, in addition to
Turkish and Arabic. The Khedive is
a hard worker, and his day usually be-
gins at $50 in the morning. A story
is told which illustrates this side Of
his character. His brother Mehemet
Ali, and himself had the same tutor
in their childhood, but Prince Mehemet
was indolent. A task was set them,
but the younger brother shirked it.
Come, prince" said the teacher, cit
must be done. Prince, indeed!"'
exclaimed Abbas. my brother is no
prince when idle; he Is only fellah!,'

CONFIDENT OF CAPTURE

Union Pacific Omcial. Th,ak Robber.
viii BE Run Down.
An Omaha, August 81 dispatch saws:
Onion Pacific officials are Of the opin-
ion that the trail which the officers
are pursuing is the right one and that
within twenty four hours at the long
est the robbers will be run to earth.
There have been all kinds of stories
relative to the amount of money Sc
cured by the men who robbed the safe
of the Pacific Express company. One
story is to the effect that the safe con-
tanned 800, 0QOo of gold to be used in
paying off the soldiers on the coast
and in the Philippines, and that this
enormous amount is now in possession
of the robbers.
This story is denied by the officer s
of both the railroad and express COM
panies. Railroad officials say that SO
far as they know, there was little
money in the safe. They add that it
contained none of their money.
Superintendent Patterson scouts the
story of the 100000 and declares that
the express company safe contained
but $74. He adds that large sums of
money are never sent across the con-
tinent at night and if they were, extra
precautions would be take n to see that
they reached their destination safely.
The loss sustained by the express
company, in the judgment of Mr.. Pat
terson will not exceed $4,000. This
loss arises principally on account of
damage to the car and merchandise
which it contained. On the car which
was dynamited and practically des-
troyed, there were three large con-
signments of poultry and general
merchandise, which when the dyna-
mite was used, was scattered over an
area of an acre or more.

NEW BRITISH CENSUS

Ts Be Taken Next Year in England.
Scotland and wales.
The nrst OF the army of $4,000 OH
cials who will have the task OF count
ing the population OF Great Britain in
1901 have been already appointed.
These are merely subordinate clerks,
but their appointment records the be-
ginning of the great work ON which
the status of every hamlet, village,
town, city and county In Great Britain
10 fixed for another decade. A year
hence the census once, department
of the registrar-general's once, will be
hard at work arranging and compiling
the schedules gathered from every in
habited spot Of England, Scotland and
Wales. Before that time. however, a
vast amount Of preliminary work has
to be done. For the purpose of the
census Great Britain is divided into
about $40 districts, each under super
intendent registrar. Each district will
contain from two to. twelve subdis-
tricts, approximately about 1000 in all,
but every subdistrict is again divided
into enumeration districts numbering
in round figures some 10000. The
schedules will be distributed by the
enumerators-one enumerator to each
enumeration district-during the week
preceding Sunday, March 81, 1901. On
that day every occupier of dwelling
will be required to fill up the schedule.
which will be called for on the follow
ing day by the enumerator. The details
of information required by the census
taker are neither voluminous nor
prolix; the name, sex, age. occupation,
condition-married or single--and
birthplace Of every perscn in the
house, and whether blind, deaf. dumb.
imbecile or lunatic; whether moro or
less than five rooms constitute the
dwelling, and in Wales and Scotland
whether any person speaks Welsh or
Gaelic only. The schedules collected
by enumerators will be returned to
the registrar generals ONCE within q
month, when the staff upon whom will
devolve the compilation of returns will
have been organized.-London Mail.
