Rockefeller's Career.

When John ID. Rockefeller. that beloved phi
lsnthropist. told his pastor the other Gay.
speaking Of the place where he was born, Il
shudder TO think what l should have been if I
had remained in Richford all my hfe," the
pastor synspathetically remarked; Yes; and
cannot help thinking what loss it would
have been to the world bad you remained in
that small town" And John D. rejoined: Il
don't know about that. but the personal com
fort that religion has been to me has been such
that sometimes feel that l would like 70 go
on the lecture platform snd tell the people
about it,"
The question is. How much q real loss 20
the world would ii have been had Mr. Rookie
teller remained in Richford? He has amassed
fabulous wealth. through methods that have
often been criticised, and has disbursed differ
ent large sums TO places of learning; but has he
rendered the world any substantial service, OF
actually contributed to its wehareZ Tfat Is
the measure by which his worth to humanity at
large must be decided. His own busines has
prospe-ed. but has his prosperity brought for
tune or reverse to Others? Has his pecuniary
advantage been derived from strict appliea-
ton OF the golden rule, OF from personal self
ishness?

Lecku and His Work.
Historian Who Combined Intuition and
Judgment.

The death Of William Edward
Hartpole Lecky recalls TO the minds
of students past middle life the SEN
sation which was caused in certain
limited circles by the publication of
has History of the Rise and lnfu-
ence Of the Spirit Of Rationalism in
Europe" and, little later, by his
History of European Morals" both
remarkable productions for man IN
the neighborhood of thirty, and
marked by that clearness Of thought
which was his at all times, and by that
eudacity with which strong man IN
early manhood often disregards >the
influence of popular ideals. Lecky's
independence Of thought and freedom
from prejudice prevented his being 4
popular author in the sense in which
Mccarthy and Bryce were popular,
since the subjects which he treated
were those of which c more OF less
twisted view was at that time tle only
one popular.
Later, however, the bcsr:y of his
style and the justice of mis- attitude
commanded the attention of all
thoughtful people, AMI while his read
ers BY no means always agreed with
him, they could not condemn him. Hc
has been spoken of as ono Of the few
historians possessing The combination
Of intuitive insight with clear judg-
mtnt, a man who might be cold, but
was always truthful, who might judge

To Marry a Title.

South America is competing with the
northern portion Of this hemisphere In
the acquisition of ducal coronets of the
Old World. For announcement has Just
been made or the engagement of lovely
and colossally rich young Chilean widow
named Nine. Yrrarazaval TO the Mar
quis des Cars, eldest son and heir OF
the duke OF that name. While the Des
Cars are of the old French nobility. and
were in possession of the "seigneurie"
of Des Cars from the twelfth century
until the great revolution of 100 years
ago. the ducal title is OF relatively mod
ern origin, having been conferred by
King Louis XVIII At the time OF the
Restoration In 1875 upon the then Mar
quis des Cars, who had been one OF the
most faithful of his wait
ing and associates during his near a
quarter of IA century OF exile.
The Duke de Morny is likewise mar
ried TO a South American, his duchess
being the daughter of Guzman BIanco.
who for so many years was President
and dictator OF Venezuela. The Duke OF
Bassano, on the other hand, is married
to a Canadian. Glare Symes, of Quebec.
His dukedom is of Napoleonic origin,
and it may be recalled that his father
was for many years chief of the house
hold of Empress Eugene, in her exile.
The Duke OF Choiseul PTaslin. whose
dukedom is more than 200 years old. is
married to Elizabeth Forbes, OF New
York the Duke de Ia Rochefougauld.
who is likewise Duke of Liancourt and
of AWHILE. besides being Prince de
Marcillac, is the husband of Matte
Mitchell. daughter of United States
Senator Mitchell.

Of Moment to Spain.

Little attention has been given<by the
press In this country TO the serious ac-
cident Of the Princess Of the Asturias.
who. while riding IN an automobile with
her brother-in-law, the Duke OF Gala
bria, the other day In the neighborhood
of Munich. was thrown into a ditch
and sustained injuries sufficiently severe
to cause conclusion of the brain, which
for forty-eight hours placed her life in
danger She is now on the road to re-
covery. But had she succumbed, the
position OF the present dynasty on the
throne OF Spain would have been i'm
periled. For the infanta is not only
the eldest sister OF. the young King, but
likewise the next heir to his crown, and
in the event OF her death her little boy,
now two years old. would become heir
apparent and the successor OF his uncle,
Don Alfonso, as King of Spain. should
the present monarch die unmarried.
Nothing could possibly be more fatal
to the throne than another long minor
ity, during which the de factO. IL not
de Jure regent would be. to all intents
and purposes, the boys father, the
Prince Consort of the Asturias, who,
owing to the unfortunate fact that he
is scion OF that Neapolitan branch OF
the Bourbons which Is identified with
everything that is reactionary and anti
liberal. is exceedingly unpopular among
the Spanish people, who are so strongly
against him that they do not hesitate
to ascribe to his Influence upon his broth

Of the death OF his wife and of the
young King he would be permitted to
officially assume the regency during the
minority OF his son. and the clause in
the constitution which was so frequent

which stipulates that during the minor
