Plain Names But Lofty Titles.

The duke of Tctuan was a properly
impressive title for Spanish govern
ment minister, though it covered the
personality of an lrishman named
O'Donnell. His title came from the
fact that his father, in the Spanish
service. captured the Moorish city of
Tetuan. This was in 1853, and two
years later the sultan of Morocco ran
somed the city for $4,000. .000-a
rather large sum for n Mohammedan
town of $4,000 people. In this connec-
ton it is recalled that the Emin Bey
subsequently called Emin Pasha, who
figured SO prominently in British mill
tary operations in Egypt and the Up
per Nile country few years ago. was
