New Aliases.
The clerk Of the city court made
public the names Of seventy persons
who changed their names in legal form
in the year 1900, says the New York

real cause Of dissatisfaction. Why. one

cognomen Of Gumbinsky changed to

less it Is discovered TO be a corruption
or Jacobowskyg There scarcely could
be any greater effacement OF a family
name than to substitute the noncom-
initial Blank for Polanger Sebastian
Bibo is lost entirely IN Frank Walter
and Ruzieka becomes the American
lied Rose. Many changes result from
family quarrels. when another family
name is taken in place Of the legiti-
mate one. Often the Wills OF eccentric
relatives demand a change in the name
OF the beneficiary. without which no
legacy can be obtained. Occasionally
debt or imprisonment has brought the
name Of some person into such disre-
pute that a new name Is sought for
which a new reputation may be built
In the case OF foreigners who have be-
come American citizens the stiff con-
sonants OF Russia. Bohemia and Po-
land prove too much for our Anglicized
tongues and a change is really neces-
sary. Under this reason come such
changes, no doubt. as Chmelicek 10

reduced to the Diekensllke name OF
