Apropos Of the society woman who

Americans worshiping titles. 1t Isl
certainly not the case In the business

sons, perhaps, your Yankee neWspa-
pers and fiction writer's are accus-
toned to describe the European noble
man, whatever his fatherland, as
spineless, dissipa tied, and generally no
good. This creates a prejudice which

comes acquainted with when he comes

had been but three days in New
York when learned to discard the
honored name was born to. Dur
ing those three days. although an ex-
pert engineer with a special field,

fourth day q became Mr.. Carl Smith
and got q job. It's all nonsense to
say that the representative American
aworships titles. He doesn't. Plain
Carl Smith has better chances any
day than the foreigner with three
hinges to his name. IN. Press.

of which the great one is SO separated

nails that can be fixed in the ground

Hill Forsakes Plan,

NEW YORK, May 16-James ].
Hills plan looking to the retirement
of the s215,323,2OO Great Northern
Northern Pacific joint per cent bonds
secured on Burlington stock, has been
definitely postponed. The reason for
the postponement is that the bank
ers who would naturally handle such
a refunding operation have advised
against it on the ground that an at
tempt to raise the $250,0O0,00O cash re-
quired would be both difficult and
dangerous at this time.
For that reason the Burlington
bonds, so-called, have not met their
support on their decline from 1O3 to
about 9S There has been some liQui-
dation of the bonds for the account of
people who bought the bonds because
they expected to see them retired on
July 1 at 105 and interest.
Mr.. Hill has not permanently aban-
doned his plan. Ultimately it is in
tended to segregate the Burlington
from the Northern Pacific and place
it entirely in the hands Of the Great
Northern, although it. is not intended
to operate it in unfriendly rivalry with
the Northern Pacific.
