Prince owns Gambling House.

The prince of Monaco, who runs
Monte Carlo, was married to Alice
Heine, of New Orleans, and the pres
ent heir to the gambling receipts is
her stepson. Prince Reched Bey
Czaykowski is Turkish diplomat, but
not very important as a Turk. Miss
Edith Collins, of New York, was the
princess maiden name.
Boston is not wonderfully we'll 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.
Then there is Lady Playfair, nee
Miss Edith Russell, who visits Boston
annually, and Nine. Jusserand, wife of
the French ambassador at Washing
ton, who was the daughter of George
Richards, of Boston, who. founded the
banking firm of Monroe & Co., Paris.
Lady Gilbert Carter, wife of the gov
ernor of Barbados, was Miss Gertrude
Parker, of Boston.
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 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.

Youno American Mother of Peer.

She who was Miss Gertrude Violet
Twining, of Halifax, is the youngest
of American mothers of peers. 1t was
in 1902 that she married the marquis
of Donegal, she being % and he 80.
Their son, now marquis, was born a
year before his aged fathers death.
He is marquis of the Irish peerage,
which is quite distinct from that Of
Great Britain or Scotland. A peer of
Great Britain sits in the house of lords
because he is peer. Duke, earl, mar
quis, viscount or baron, it makes no
difference But Ireland sends only a
certain number, and Scotland a few
more. The rest not sitting in the
lords can stand for the commons.
But that is material for book.
England, it should be noted, is not
overburdened with nondescript princes
like some other countries. A prince

Solway.-John, the three-year-old
son of William Shepherd, disappeared
from his home near this place and
not trace of him has been found.

dreds of men and boys with dogs
have secured the country for miles
around. The county officials have
offered 500 reward for the return of
the boy dead or alive.

Stevenson mine at Stevenson, was
found wrapped about the shafting of
his engine, which was stopped. 1t is
presumed that his clothing caught in

caused an investigation to be made,
which resulted in the finding of the
body.

Boston.-"Some titles are bad and
some titles are worse, but there are
no good titles" sarcastic American
father is said to have exclaimed
apropos of the marriage of a relative
TO foreign nobleman.
He was not altogether right, nor
was he altogether wrong. The Old
World is flooded with titles, good, bad
and Indifferent. The bad and the in
different greatly outnumber the good.
American girls have some of the good,
possibly more of the bad, and, per-
haps, still more of the Indifferent.
There is heraldry office in London
that spends ali it's time Strengthening
out the kinks in the peerage. With
some 500 American women married to
foreigners, duly handled as to their
names, some of the freaks of aristoc-
racy's rating are apropos.
In America it is selfevident-
though some children disprove it
that a parent is superior to the child.
Yet an American woman is on record
to disrrove the fact. The late widow
of Isaac M. Singer married a sol
distant Duo de Camposelice and later
M. Paul Sohege, plain Frenchman.
But her daughter is Duchesse Decazes
among the French aristocracy, and
Duchesse de Gluecksburg in the high
lights of Denmark If it isn't a case
of daughter out-distancing the moth
er, it is the nearest approach to the
condition.
Some of these daughters have be-
come duchesses of England, prin
cesses of Russia, duchesses of France
principessae of Italy, duquesas OF
Spain or Portugal, and still others
have obtained titles of the Holy
Roman Empire and papal titles by
marriage. There are said to be about
500 of them all told, but how do they
rank among each other? Where in
the scale of high-sounding handles to
matrimonially acquired surnames doth
rank Lady Tennessee Claflin Cook
who is the widow of an English baro
net, and who, through him, is Wis
countess Montserratin in the peerage
of Portugal? And why does not she
: employ the higher Portuguese title in
stead of the inferior English one?
Peculiarities of Peerages.
The truth is that peerages are now
worthy of but half respect Only two
of them are really to be very serious
ly taken, the English and the dignities
confined to the mediatized Teutonic
families. And the latter of these is
not open to American ambitions, as
Miss Mary Wister Wheeler of Phila
delphia discovered in 1890, when she
was married to Count Macmillan Pap
penheim, of that ilk, and learned
when Berlin heard of the event, that
she could never be more than a NOR
ganatic wife.
Recently it transpired that English
titles are not always exactly what
they seem. 1t came out that one peer
age was obtained by the typically
American practice of contributing to
q political campaign fund 1t took
$1.250,000 in that case to make a
baron of the United Kingdom, and at
the same time s1So,00O was required
to secure knighthood that labors
under the disadvantage of not being
heritable. Scandal aside, however
the British peerage is the best of it's
kind. An American girl looking for
foreign honors can better realize her
ambition in marrying mere English
baronet than by contracting half a

Many Times a 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-Pe
cord and of Valencay in France, and
Prussian duchess of Sagan.
Titles in Italy date back long time,
and had their origin in the times when
there were free cities, each of which
had it's 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 a 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

French Ducal System.

French Ducal 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-
cessfully INDUCED his prediction
for American wives on two occasions,
would be entitled to enter this society,
and either she who was born Eliza
beth Curtis of New York or the pre-
viously divorced wife of Frederick
w. Livingston could have accompan.
led him during their reigns over a
heart whose unhappiness became
rather well known at divorce court.
The royalist society constitutes the
worth of French title, but only two
per cent. of all titles of La Belle
Paris and elsewhere in France are
legitimate. The others are jokes.

There are half a dozen kinds OF

grace of Manchester, she got titular
matrimonial prize.

His Turkish Title.


In all except the mediatized fami-
'lies-formerly royal German families
there are women to represent the
greatest country without a nobility.
Even at Constantinople, where you
can buy the order of Osmanieh and
the lower grades dirt cheap, there is
one of our women. She has had the
wings of her dignity clipped, but she
is still Margaret Fehim Pasha.
Her husband was, till few months
ago, chief of the Yildiz secret police,
likewise distant relative of the
sultan. The German ambassador OBJ
jected to little pleasantly OF his,
and Fehim is now in real exile. But
his wife, who was a circus rider, mar
ried week after rencontre, IL still
the wife of pasha. That dignity
isn't worth much, and in the matter
of value of titles Turkey, for once,
agrees with the rest of Europe.

language, actually and literally Prop

to respectable English standards, but
the Almanach de Gotha mistranslated
