MALE LINE EXTINCT.

It now seems that this disposition Of
the sovereignty of Luxembourg was due
to the fact that, according to the terms
of the Nassau family statutes. the wom-
en- do not become eligible to the throne
of Luxembourg until the male line is ex-
tinguished. Failing, therefore. the birth
of any son to Crown Prince William Of
Oldest of his five daughters, who. on his
death and that of her grandfather, he
grand duke, will become sovereign
grand duchess of Luxembourg in her own
right.
The mention of these family statutes
of which the good people of Luxemburg
have had no voice, serves to call atten-
tion to the existence of these private
and in most cases secret laws, which
owe their existence to the necessity of
maintaining order and discipline, as well
the private property of the family
among the members of the sovereign
houses OF Europe.
These particular laws govern the con-
duct. not only Of those houses now actu-
ally in the possession of Old World
thrones, but likewise of those which.
prior to the overthrow and extinction
OF the Holy Roman Empire by the first
Napoleon. exercised the rights of petty
sovereignty in Germany, and are now
officially known as the ''mediatized"
houses. Thus II was in Difference to
clause IS Of the family statutes OF the
mediatized house Of Pappenheim that
Count Macmillan Pappenheim was
Obliged to renounce his rights and pre-
negatives as chief of his family. in favor
of his younger brother Louis. and TO de-
scend to the rank of an ordinary noble |

Philadelphia. from whom he is now di-

OBEYED FAMILY LAW.

1t was generally imagined in this
country at the time when he abdicated
his status as scion of mediatized house
in order to marry a daughter of Uncle
Sam, that he did SO in compliance with
either the laws Of the kingdom of Ba-
varia lin the house of lords of which he
occupied a seat, or in Difference to some
article OF the code of the German en-
pire. But this was not the case His
action in the matter was solely In obedi-
ence to the family statutes OF the house
OF Pappenheim. which. like all the fam
fly statutes OF the mediatized and SOW
ereign houses of Continental Europe, are
recognized as valid by the ordinary
courts, although they are laws in the

DISTRICT DEEDS IN
DANGER OF DESTRUCTION
Congress Will Be Asked for
Adequate Protection.

Congress will again be appealed to at
the coming session for an appropriation
to provide metallic fireproof roller
shelves for the protection OF records in
the Office of the Recorder Of Deeds for
the District. The appeal will also con-
tain request for an appropriation to
defray the expenses OF reproducing a
great many of the old records in the Of
fee, which by use during over half
century have become badly worn and de-
faced
Soon after the present incumbent.
John c. Dancey, took charge OF the Of
fee, he recognized the necessity Of GER
tain improvements In connection with
the business. He placed the matter be-
fore the Senate and House committees
of Congress in charge of District af-
fairs. The Senate committee recon-
mended that funds be provided for the
wants of the office. In speaking about
the matter yesterday, Mr.. Dancey said
that, unfortunately 1t did not receive
favorable consideration during the past
session of Congress. An appropriation
of $4,000, he said, was asked
Records Invaluable.
The necessity for such an improve
ment, he said, must be obvious to every
one who has given the matter mo-
ment's thought. The records in the Of
flee of the Recorder of Deeds are most
valuable, containing as they do the
transfer Of all the real estate in the
District. In the event Of fire in the
part of the City Hall in which the Of
flee is located, there is not the slightest
protection, and the records would in
evitably be totally destroyed.
In addition to the appropriation for
the metallic shelves. MIR. Dancey also
asked for an appropriation of $4,000 for
the proper indexing of the records of the
real estate transfers from 1897 to 1885.
Mr.. Dancey stated that the reproduc-
ing of the old records may be done in such
a way as to make them part Of the series
which is now being typewriter. and in
this way save double expense and labor.
There are other improvements necessary
in connection with the conduct Of the
office, but these can be deferred. The
subject OF the protection of the records
will be again called to the attention Of
the District committees as soon as Con-
gress conveneg.

.ENGLAND'S EDUCATION
BILL PROBABLY SAFE
Majority Seemingly Assured
and Crisis Unlikely.

LONDON. Oct. 1S.-The British political
situation. which has been described on
both sides as critical, has developed no
features suggesting the imminence of a
crisis in the lively two days sitting of
parliament On the other hand, the
government has maintained its almost
normal majority on the education bill
divisions
1t is becoming increasingly evident
that the popular revulsion of feeling
against the government is not really
based on the education bill, which is
only being used as the most available
weapon Hence it happens that the
Unionists will be able to muster all
their full support on the details of that
measure 1t is even probable that 1t
will pass by fair majority and the
popular will be compelled to find in
effectual expression at such bye-elec-
tions as chance may provide. 1t is rea-
sonable to suppose, however, that
man of Mr. Balfour's sensitive political
honor would decline to remain long in
office il the rebuke administered at
Leeds and Bury were repeated few
times.
Balfour Shows Strength.
Mr.. Balfour has surprised and pleased
even his opponents by the virility and
courage of his utterances this week.
He seems to have dropped the role OF
a dilletante politician, which has some
times given the impression of weakness
on serious occasions. He is now show

Emperor William, by pardnning Lieu tenant Theime. who killed the student Helf in a pistol duel at Jena. and was sentenced to twenty-seven months inn prisonment, will give encourag cement to the senseless and barbarous practice of dueling. prescribed by the laws of every civilized country. The sentence in Lieu
 tenant Theime's case, twenty-seven months, was light, and it should not have been reduced. The punishment is grotesquely inadequate from the Amer ican point of view. The pardon re- dUces the time of imprisonment Co about eight months. This leniency is tnexDllcable upon the ground of justice. So repulsive is dueling in the American states that all of them treat it as a grave crime. In Pennsylvania and some other states it is regarded with so much aversion that it is prohibited by constitutional provisions. Even

The "old" people-over 30 years of age, who were the invited guests of the com pany, numbered about 100. and occu- pied the front seats. The seats behind them were also filled, and the second performance Of "The Phoenix" was voted to be even a better presentation than the first night. The stage busi- ness was carried on with mere dis patch, and the company received lib- eral and at times thunderous applause.
 Miss Winnie, as before, was the star of the evening, though she was closely seconded by Miss Vera Burton and Miss May Lamb who sustained their parts admirably. The parts of F. T. Pomeroy as the Phoenix" C. R.. Flakes as Leslie Blackburn" were well sustained, and 2. Far.
