burg cab. Prince Dolgoruh who Is .
stovodore. or Princess Galntzin IN =
fourth-rate circus
A Dolgoruld ancestor was once king
of Russia. and the Galatxin and Krap-
honorable and ancient Occasionally q
"zakhnda1y kniaz'' has fallen SO low
that he is but peasant, and thus
minus the title of noble that is given
to the educated subjects Of the car.
This Russian disregard OF primogen-
iture observance. which does SO much
to keep the English peerage up to the
standard, obtains also in Germany.
Certain fmmunities and privileges. be-
sides the satisfaction of defined prece-
dence, make the English lord q
marked and envied person. Most Ger
man and Prussian mobiles are devoid of
extra privilege, and their children all
bear the titles of their fathers.
The house of Hatzfe1dt is one of the
fairly numerous exceptions The heir
of Prince Alfred, present head of one
branch, is Prince Francis, whose wife
was the adopted daughter of the late
Coils p. Huntington. On the other
hand, the late ambassador to Germany
was only Count Hatzfeldt. His. case
was particularly interesting because
he had genuine love affair with an
American woman, Miss Helen Moul-
ton, of Albany. He married her in
1868, and was forced to separate from
her by Prince Bismarck, who made it
rule never to allow a German diplo-
mat to marry foreigner. The sepa-
ration lasted until Bismarck went out
of power, when the two promptly re-
married.
Many Times Duchess.
There is one American woman who
is a duchess on four commonplace
counts. This is the Duchesse de Dino,
who is the same of Talleyrand-Peri-
CORD and of Valencay in France, and
Prussian duchess of Sagan.
Titles in Italy date back a long time,
and had their origin in the times when
there were free cities, each of which
had its own collection of nobility. The
title of prince there is not awe-inspir-
ing, and the others Of lower grade fall
far short of honor. The Italian equiv
alent of Burke's Peerage will look up
your ancestry, determine your heraldic
bearings and include history of your
origin in it's next edition for nominal
sum-
The vatican grants titles. The par
venus work so hard getting titles unto
themselves that really respectable no
bility have got out of the habit of
using their legitimate ones. Prince
Ferdinand Colonna married Miss Eva
Bryant Mackay, but in that family the
title is disregarded. They consider it
really more aristocratic to call each
other simply Don" and Donna" The
Rospigliosi and Ruspolin families,
which together number nearly dozen
American women among their wives,
are as aristocratic and as particular.
Long String of Honors.
Yet even persons with the plain
name of John Smith will very likely
admit that Don Francesca Rospigliosi

There are half a dozen kinds Of

Boston is not wonderfully well rep
resented among the titled Americans
abroad. Foremost, perhaps, among
Boston girls of this description is the
countess of Edla. who. on June 10,
1869, married the late king consort OF
Portugal, Ferdinand. She was Miss
Elsie Hensler, and received the NOR
ganatic dignity OF Countess Edla,
which she still bears.

annually, and Nine. Jusserand, wife of

The curiosities that have grown up
around the matter of nobility would
fill volume In England, where the
heraldry Office is more than it is else
where, the technicalities are best OBJ
served.
There is the matter of the courtesy
title, for instance. There is Baron Will
loughby d'Eresby, who is married to
Miss Elroise Breese, of New York, and
who isn't a baron at all. He is SIM
ply eldest son of the earl of Ancaster,
who has more than one extra title that
is inferior to his own of earl. His IA
Their has virtually loaned that of his
barony to his eldest son until he shall
succeed. So the eldest son of the
duchess of Marlborough, who is known
as the marquis Of Blanford by the
same courtesy.

She who was Miss Gertrude Violet
Twining, of Halifax, is the youngest

because he is a peer Duke, earl, mar

certain number, and Scotland a few
more. The rest not sitting in the
lords can stand for the commons.
But that is material for a book.

French pucaI System.

There are dues in France, but their
only value is as contributors to the
governments income, by the sarcas-
tically graded scale that puts more of
a price on them the farther up
they go. One exception may be made
to this general rule for the royalists
still hold levees, and to them title
is instinct with meaning and dignity.
The fourth Due de Dino, who unsuc-
cessfu1ly INDUCED his prediction
for American wives on two occasions,
would be entitled to enter this society,

beth Curtis of New York or the pre-
viously divorced wife of Frederick
w. Livingston could have accompan-
led him during their reigns over

rather well known at divorce court.
The royalist society constitutes the
worth of a French title, but only two
per cent. of all titles of La Belle
Paris and elsewhere in France are
legitimate. The others are jokes.

prices began to weaken in spots. the

were made on every vulnerable stock

The Hartman stocks developed better
support than they have shown but the

considered to mean that the Morgan
