State of San Marine to Discontinue
Old Custom.
Special Cablegram to The Star

Special Cablegram to The Star.
ROME October 4.-The great council of
the miniature state of San Marine has
resolved to discontinue the custom of
granting titles Of nobility to foreigners and
even to abolish Its own patriciate. This has
been done at the urgent request of the
Italian government. Italy was the chief
market for these titles for persons am
bilious to enter society. The San Marine
nobility was only limited by the length
of ones purse. Dukes, counts and barons
Of San Marine became so numerous in Italy
and abuses so frequent that the govern
ment forbade the use of such titles.
The sale Of patents of nobility formed
considerable part of the republic, and in
this way the little republic had no public
debt and its budget has always shown a
balance on the right side. The only BUSH
ness San Marine is now allowed to do is
in the line of decorations. The Order of
the Knights Of San Marine has been a
brilliant financial success, and the number
of its grand crosses. grand officers COM
manders. officers and plain knights is legion
A wealthy, but pebeian, German offered
to wager $25 900 with a recently ennobled
compatriot that he would within four weeks
secure higher title than his friend. The
bet was taken and the German set off for
San Marine. He planked down $500, the
price of a ducal title, and came back within
the stipulated time, thus making a clear
profit of S12,500. besides securing title.

NOW IT IS THE SALT TRUST.
Plans to Boost Prices Are Matured at
New York.

NEW YORK, October A tacit under
standing has been reached between the
International Salt Company. known as the
salt trust, and certain Independent manu-
facturers in regard to regulating the future
course of the market for evaporated salt,
according to statements made in well-in-
formed quarters, says the Journal of Com
merce today. This action was taken, it Is
said, in consequence of the higher cost of
labor and supplies, as well as because of
the overproduction of salt.
AS a result of the understanding prices
have recently been advanced 80 cents to 81
per ton from the low figures prevailing a
month ago, when sharp price cutting was
in progress.
incidentally a policy of retrenchment has
been inaugurated and various firms have
reduced their working forces.

FACTS ABOUT MA-EL-AININ.
Saharan Marabout Is Prize I'M
poster.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
TANG1ER, October 4.-Mr. Henry Crit
fin. an Englishman of Mogador, hays a
good deal Of fantastic nonsense has been
written about Ma-el-Ainin, the Saharan
marabout. His name means 'eyes of the
spring." and is due to the fact that he
claims to have discovered spring of water
in the desert. His people, who regard
him as a wizard, believe that he caused
the water to appear by magic. He is
thorough impostor, who lives at the ex-
pense Of Abd-el-Aziz. He lives at Suss for
four months Of the year, and spends the
remaining eight months in travelling to and
from Fee, living at the sultan's palaces en-
route, and receiving enormous sums for the
expenses Of the journey. Ma-el-Ainin is
hated by the kabyles, who. when he returns
from Fee loaded with presents, rob him.
Accordingly he made the journey by sea,
although he had sworn that as he would
not allow himself to be seen by Europeans,
he would never set foot on shipboard. On
this occasion, however. he gave out he
had been commanded by God to return by
sea.
Ma-el-Ainin is a most violent person, and
while on board the ship he wanted to cut
off the hands Of slave who had stolen an
onion. Abd-el-Aziz believes that he Is all
powerful in the south. from Mogador to
the desert. but this is certainly not the
fact. When he lately passed Mogador and
Safh the governors, who knew that he had
no ammunition with him, would not even
allow him to enter the towns. They sent
him, however, some presents of sugar, tea
and sheep. If the sultan did not send him
provisions every year his people would
certainly die of hunger. as during the
windy season the desert Is impossible Dur
ing his last sea voyage Ma-el-Ainin wrote
some verses to the captain, saying that his
ship was the finest and the best in the
world. He then did some conjuring tricks,
burnt some aromatic powders and assured
the captain that his ship was now quite
1t. The steamer was the Maguel Riu, on
which Mr.. Griffin Travelled to Mogador and
the captain told him that there must have
been something wrong with the incanta-
ton, as just after he had landed Ma-el-
Amin and was returning to Tangier he was
within an ace of being wrecked.

LONDON, October At would appear
from recent statistics that the Eng
fish are dying out in the cities. In the year
1900 the number of children was 33 per
cent of the population. In the year 1900
they were only % per cent. Fewer children
are born in the towns and more die there.
The physicians say that this Is due, in a
great degree, to the many demands on the
time of the mothers. which make them
neglect their children.
