They have had a real live lord in
New York and have evidently not
treated him with the Difference that
was his due, for he has shaken the
dust of Gotham from his aristocratic
feet and announced that he will return
no more forever. The trouble is that
In New York they have become some
what accustomed to lords, several hav-
ing turned UP in the police court at
various times, and so after much ex-
perience they decided to treat lord as
If he was a gentleman until he proves
himself a lord. This made persons
treat the Hon. Bertie Fairfax much
like other people, so he has gone home
to his mother, where he will be prop
erly my lorded. 1t now turns out that
the Hon. BERTHE is only a Scottish peer,
and will probably have no vote in the
house of lords, but only allowed a seat
on the steps Of the throne BY some
Old laws Of etiquette BERTHE will be ex-
enpt from jury service and cannot be
arrested in a civil action, can sit COW
cred IN a court of justice during the
proceedings, which must be an immense
comfort to him, and if he is hanged it
Will be with sillzen rope instead of
plain hemp. Here we have the reason
OF Bertie's desertion of New York, for
plain hempen rope is the best he

1t is only question of time when
royal princes, instead of having to be
commanded by their still more royal
relatives to visit this country, will have
to be restrained from coming and in
stead Of returning emigrants to their
native shores, the authorities, in re-
sponse to frantic kilograms, will be
obliged to return princes of royal blood
who have formed a habit of coming
over here.
The Prince of Siam, our latest roy
atty, is now swinging around the cir
Gle in the East and having almost as
good time as did Prince Henry al
though the utter impossibility of his
hosts to pronounce his name has mill
tated somewhat against that intimate
chumniness which characterized the
visit Of Prince Henry or Prince Boris
but on. the whole the Prince of Siam is
regarded as a good fellow. The edu-
cation of princes is now considered in
complete without a visit to this coun-
try.
A man, and an Eng1ishman, too, has
been saying some outrageous things
about Chicago after having been it's
guest, for which he should hang bv
the neck until dead. Here are some
of the graceful remarks he has made,
which have been published in the
Yorkshire Post" Chicago is too
busy money making to attend to civic
Improvement Chicago has univer-
sity, but most of it's professors are
freak men, who say outrageous, slangy
absurdities to gain notoriety in the
1-cent press. 1t has fine libraries, but
these are all son the side Chicago
people are really on earth to make
money and they make it. Young girls
pocket every silver spoon on the table,
not secretly but with a laugh. To steal
spoon on a railway dining car is a
girlish foible." This diatribe reveals
only an envious mind, for the writer
knows there is nothing on this little
island in the least resembling Chicago,
and his jealousy has prompted his raw
ings. He pays an unintentiona1 COM
pliment to the very citizens he is revil-
ing by saying they are on earth to
make money and make it. What bet
ter or more praiseworthy than to ac-
eomplish what one is living for? AS
for the silver spoons, his remark is
somewhat of a a-re1ection upon the So
ciety with which the writer mingled
