 French titles carry with them no privl- leges under the republic, but they are legalized forms of address and are recog- nized in foreign courts when questions of precedence arise. To abolish them would be to strike a blow at many Amer ican women of wealth who exchanged their fortunes, and many of them their happiness, for titles.
 Castellane who has always been among the most extreme and arrogant of the so- called royalists Is the most universally detested man in Paris today. for now his own party friends are turning against him.
 Some well-known Amer-can women whose titles are menaced by the French chamber of deputies are as follows:
 Miss Anna Gould, now Countess Boni de Castellane.
 Miss Barbey, now Countess de Poor tales
 Miss Burdan, now Baroness Lepeletier d-Aunay.
 Miss Butterfeld now Countess de Mon tauban.
 Miss Claire Coudert, now Marqualse de Choiseul.
 Miss Mary G. Caldwell now Marquise dc Merenville.
 Miss Forbes, now Duchess of Choiseul- Prasln.
 Mrs. Herbert Gallatin, now Countess Augue de Rohan-Cabor.
 Miss Medera Marie Hoffman, now Mar quise de Mores.
 Miss Mary Hayward now Countess of Chabot.
 Miss Marie Ledoux, now Marquise de Valouri
 Miss Carola Livingston, now Countess de Laugler-Villars.
 Mrs. Charles F. Livermore, now Ba- rome de Seilliere.
 Mss Virginia Lowery, now Duchesse q Arcos. Miss Maggie Mitchell, now Duchesse de la Rochefoucald.
 Miss Meigs, now Countess de Neffray.
 Miss Mary Minell, now Countess d'Ave- nal.

TOWN WITHOUT MONEY.
Small Settlement In Utah That Makes
Cattle and Grain the Units
of Value.

There have arrived in this city two
young men who have made the trip
across the continent from the Missis-
sippi river in a canvas-covered wagon
drawn by a pair of mules, writes
Los Angeles correspondent of the
Pittsburg Gazette. Their experiences
have been varied and interesting
often hazardous, but never more
unique than when passing through
southeastern Utah.
In that section of the state have set
tied few score of families, regardless
of the fact that the nearest railroad is
$50 miles away, and that there is alb
solutely no market for the product Of
their ranches.
They raise what they want to eat.
their ranches support their ever-in-
creasing herds, and they expect to
realize fortunes from their cattle and
lands when a railroad penetrates the
fastness and traverses that section.
Meantime money is almost an un-
known medium of exchange. Cattle
and grain are the units of value.
The young men say that in one set
Element where they stoppedthere was

town. At one of their camping places
they visited a nearby ranch to buy
one of the numerous chickens that
were running about the place.
what have you to barter?" asked
the woman of the house.
"Cash." was the reply.
"What, cash money ?" was her aston
ished inquiry.
do you want a she chicken or he
chicken?" was the next question.
They informed her that they would
take ''he chicken"
"Then. if it's cash money you have.
you may have it for Is cents; but where
in the world did you get money!"
They told her that they had inst
come through Colorado and got money
there. They neglected to add that thew
had also paid as cents apiece for chick
ems there.
"oh, yes," she remarked, "Tve heard
that they had money in Colorado"

serious one. We boys never went gun
