Mr.. Cable is not pleased with the sug-
gestion made by someone who reviewed
The Cavalier that it was written to
catch the new craze for exciting fiction
in a letter to friend he tells in detail the
story of the writing of the novel. From
this letter the following extract is taken:

The meaning of the word Graustark.
the title of George Barr McCutcheon's ro-
nance is derived from two German
words grau and stark. Grau means
gray. old or hoary, and stark means
strong Mr.. McCutcheon named his prin-
cipalty without consulting a German or
any other kind of dictionary-therefoIe.

two words, as he is not a German scholar
After the story was finished young

that it came wholly from his ina gina,ion,
but quietly concluded ii would be wise

1t is interesting to note how the title

whole family. They all bask in its
misunderstanding that title sheds
radiance and in spite of the fact that 1t
only too often does not. A titles a

fact that a Philadelphia girl who mar

scarcely mentioned in tie newspaper

fact that her sister had married titled
foreigner. and not a very big title at

bride was described not as daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. -" but as the sis

that the marriage OF this same coun-

and that, finding it impossible to live
with her husband she was some years
ago obliged to set a legal separation,
counts for nothing. The titles the

Men have perished in the effort to get wealth

with more bitterness than the New-York en-
gineer who. according to afidayits filed in court
by his widow. carried the negotiations which
will result in the development of the district
along the liberal lines characteristic of New
York capitalists.
Mr.. Van Slooten. according to the widow,
brought the Cerro de Pasco mines to the atten-
ton of James B. Haggn and H Mex. TWombiy.
In April of last year they sent him to Peru to
investigate and report the property. He
found that the presence of copper in large
quantities had been known for years, but that
the greenish ore had been cast aside as long
Peru remained on free coinage basis There
was no doubt about the value of the property
provided.
In the interests of n New-York company.
which was formed last win ,er. between two
and three hundred claims were purchased. Ne
gotiations were opened with Ernest Thorndike
for a railroad concession which he had secured
from the Peruvian government. Ii provided
for an extension of the famous Arroyo Railroad
which would tap the mining district. This con-
cession was secured a short time ago nd WORK
on the railroad will begin shortly.
