TITLES NOT MUCH IN DEMAND.

1T is one of the gratifying signs of the times
wherein America shows a consciousness OF her
newly awakened sense Of social dignity that the
craze for foreign titles is distinctly the wane
among ambitious young women," said a matron.
In fact in fashionable and therefore more cos
rnopolitan and worldly wise, circles title carries
practically no weight whatever with it nowadays
unless IL is accompanied by the wealth and position
necessary keep up its prestige Latin titles espe-
cially have deprecated greatly during the last dec
ade and a Continental nobleman ranking as high
as a prince is considered no great match. while
counts barons etc, almost second class-that
is unless as has already been said, they can COM
rrand a good social position by means OF other
qualifications.
English titles may perhaps be said TO hold their
own and international marriages with Englishmen
excite but little criticism; still even they have ap
parently lost favor with cur heresses, who seem to
prefer TO trust themselves and their belongings to
the care OF their. countrymen and to pass
their lives among their own people. 1t is whole
some reaction that is causing mercenary foreign
alliances 10 become fewer and fewer with each
generation.
1T Is inexplcable that hard working American
business men should consent these mar
riages when they know that the thing coveted by
their future son-in-laW is their dollars, their
daughters affections, while the honor conferred in

CORPORATION COUNSEL DECIDES THAT
BURR LAW Is UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Mr. DOUGHERTY ELATED.

Corporatio Counsel Rives yesterday sent 10
Commissioner Dougherty Of the Department OF
Water Slpplv. Gas and Electricity an opinion
holding in effect. according to credible informa-
ton last night that the Burr law Is unconsu-
tutionaI. and that the city is at liberty to con-
denim watershed rights IN Suffolk County for an
additional water supply for the city II heces-
sary. Commissioner Dougherty received the
opinion yesterday forenoon but would not make
it public He said that he would consult MT
Rives about the opinion and would make II
public tomorrow. He seemed to be greatly
elated over the new turn. Mr.. Rives's opinion
has given to water department plans.
When asked about the opinion Mr.. Dougherty
said: Il cannot say anything now. All l know
at this time is that the Corporation Counsel
has decided that the Burr law is unconstitu-
tionaI l am trying TO find out the details
l cannot say at this time just what action l
shall take next. Perhaps the reading OF this
opinion may suggest an avenue through when
my action might well be taken Perhaps the
opinion directs proper action-I don't know yet
what it provides
Soon after assuming office Mr.. Dougherty, in
order to increase the water supply of Brooklyn
tried to secure privileges in Suffolk County from
the farmers there. Failing in this, he tired 10
have the Burr law, which prevents NeW-f orK
City from entering Suffolk County TO increase
its water supply, repealed by act of the legls-
lature. At the time he trying TO get a
bill through the legislature he asked Corpora
tion Counsel Rives for opinion with reference
to the constitutionality of the Burr law. lie
had almost forgotten about the matter when
messenger from Mr.. Rives's office called on him
yesterday and handed him the opinion re-
ferred to.
