CHANGING ONES NAME.
The Method IL . Rather Costly One
In Great Britain.

T0e MethO0 IL . Rather COotly ODe
In Great Britain.
Many people change their names
without asking permission from any
one or paying any fees whatever. This
II certainly the simplest way Of get
ting rid of name you do not appre-
ciate. but it is apt to prove expensive.
For instance, such n course Is strictly
illegal, and the government could step
In at any time and demand the pay
ment Of heavy fine; and, further
more, II the individual who changed
his name without consulting anybody
happened to come in for large sum
Of money unexpectedly the authorities
would decline to recognize his claim
II he had failed to pay the fees due to
the heralds' college for assuming a
name not given In baptism.
There are two ways Of changing
your name. and they are both rather
costly. One method is to have a pri-
vate act of parliament passed for your
benefit. This course is generally fol-
lowed only by peers and people to
whom money Is no object, for it costs
ESQ. This nearly all goes in fees to
minor officials for bringing your case
before the legislature. inasmuch as the
actual passing Of the bill costs prac-
tcally nothing. And the only advan-
tage you will gain from this expensive
way Of going to work is that inquiries
will not be made into your past history,
which by the other alternative are un-
avoidable.
The usual method adopted for legally
changing the name is somewhat te-
dious. If less costly, and you must have
very substantial reasons for so doing
or your claim will not be allowed. IL
for instance, you inherit property
which makes 1t conditional that you
change your name you can do SO OIL
payment Of about ESQ in fees.
In the first place you must com
municate with the home secretary
who, If he considers your claim valid
will refer you to the heralds college
and the king of arms. These officials
will make full inquiries into your his
tory and satisfy themselves beyonf
| question tnat your reason IoT WlsuiHs
to make the change is in every way
legitimate. This done, they will agar
communicate with the home secretary
who will lay your claim before thu
king, for he alone has power to au
thorize the change being made. Even
tually, after some months Of waiting
you will be informed by the heralds
college that his majesty has approved
of your claim and the change of nam
Is published in remote corner of TIN
London Gazette.
Finally ii is worthy of mention tha
no one can hold public appointment
under government who has changed
his name without the consent of tn
king, however brilliant may have bee
his services to the country. The reaso
for this is rather curious. The nam
given you at your baptism is in theor
ratified by the sovereign as head of tn
church, and by assuming another o
your own responsibility you are delil
erately breaking law Of the land

RIJFFALO AND POLLED ANGIlS
Texas Cattleman Has Made Sue
cessful Experiment in Crossins these
Two Breeds.

charles Goodnight. . ranchman
oor Fort Worth, Texas, is perhaps
the only cattleman in the country who
has been really successful In
,,s endeavors to cross buffalo with
native cattle. He gives the result Of
h,s epdeayors as follows:
seventeen years ago. one cold,
,costv morning, surprised a number
., but,alo cows and two buffalo calves
crazitg in a canyon some thirty miles
vest OF my ranch. After q short
chase my companions and myself
succeeded in roping the calves, and
those together with another animal a
nresent to Mrs. Goodnight. were the
nucleus for the p.esent herd Of buf-
,alo now grazing on my pastures. It
has been long. tiresome task, and
many times was almost forced to
despair of reaching the successful end
q, nv experiment, but at last success
came to me, and I may now truth
fully say that I have proved the fact
that a cross between the Wild buffalo
and the Angus breed Of cattle has pro-
duced a new breed Of valuable ami

the cattle industry in Texas. With

A noticeable trait Of Chinese charac-

MtrRpEREp FOR INSURANCE,
Rlngleader of italian Gang Is Wanted
for Many Crimes,

New York. Feb 1S,-Murder may
have been committed by the gang of
Italians who are charged with swind-
ling the insurance company. 1t is
learned by District Attorney Krotel,
Who Is conducting the Investigation in-
to the frauds. that the life Of Sarah
wcbher, who died under suspicious
circumstances, had been threatened by
Guerino Cirino IL she exposed the OPP
eiations of the gang, The police all
over the country have been asked to
watch for Cirino. as he is said to have
been one of the ringieaders of the ocn-
spiracy.
Miss webber, who was 70 years Of
ago. became acquainted with cirino
who had her insured for $500 without
her knowledge. Afterward she left
home. When she died the insurance
was collected by Cirino. 1t was not
until after the exposure of the frauds
that her brother. William A. Weber
became aware of her death. He in
formed Assistant Distrit Attorney
Kroet that his sister on last December
had told him Cirino had threatened
to kill her. Weber believes his sister
was murdered and he intends to have
the body exhumed.

FoRMALIN is A FAKE.
Supposed Cure for Blood Poison Proves
to Be a Failure.

New York, Feb. 1S.-The widely her
aided discovery of formalin as cure
for blood poisoning is now declared by
New York physicians to be failure.
Tests which they nave made are said
to have shown that formalin is only
temporary shock to the growth Of the
germs and in the long run proves an in
jury to the patient. Rabbits infected
with blood poison germs and subjected
to fora.aiin treatment died several
ha.ife ,a..r than rabbits similarly af-
fected ana not placed under the treat
ment
General George F. Shrady says that
he regards the result of the tests con-
Quoted by the archaeological depart
,nent as confirming his view and that
of many others of the profession that
formalin treatment was a failure. 1T
has gone the way of many other sud
denly heraidad cures" said Dr. Shrady.
when It was first announced 1t struck
the medical profession with wonder
that such simple remedy should have
been SO long overlooked. That had
much to do with the skepticism with
which II was regarded"
