turning Monday afternoon, aud imme
diately following his arrival on the train
ne went on to the meadow, opened his

ENGLISH Noblemen Victimized

0NE of the shrewdest and cleverest men in
~ the discovery of frauds and shams IS King
Edward Yet even he was vlctimized on one
memorable occasion by most agreeable Pole,
who passed under the name of Count Jaracew-
ski, which his English friends soon transformed
into SHERRY and Whisky" He was good
looking man fair haired. with a blond mus
tache, small hands and feet, clean cut features,
and an aristocratic, appearance, me only
thing that was not in his favor was the shlftness
Of his ewes. The King. or Prince OF Wales as
he was then made his acquaintance at Paris.
and when the man afterward came to London
was extremely gracious to him, finding much
entertainment in his society
Being we'll hammered good looking, and ap
parentlv we'll off, besides being very witty
and amusing man, he soon became general
favorite in London, where the entertainment
found bv ROYALTY in his society sienced all
doubts as to birth or parentage Although 1t
was remarked that he was slngularly fortunate
at cards, the closest scrutiny did not result IN
his being detected in any unfair play. Every
wear he used to disappear for about three
months under the pretext OF visiting his es-
tates in Poland concerning WINCH however
he was very reticent.
The men of the Princes set soon became
rather Jealous of the intruder, and word
which the Count inadvertently dropped caused
the late Lord Hastings, who was steward OF
the Jockey Club at the time, to do some
thinking. His reflections developed into
suspicion, and he suddenly left for the Con-
sinent On his return he proceeded to the
Counts rooms on Dover-st., St. James, and
remained closeted with Jaracewsh for some
time When he left his face was singularly
grave. and on the following morning the land
lord of the house on Dover-st brought the
startling news to Marlborough House that the
Count had been found dead in his bed as the
result of an overdose of morphine.
1t subsequently became generally known
that Jaracewski was not nobleman at all,
but that he was merely the son of a dishonest
servant who after being kicked out of his
masters chateau for unlimited pifering. had
set up as a Polish usurer with the proceeds of
his plunder He had served term of impris-
eminent for forgery His excellent manners
and address we're owing to the fact that the
Polish nobleman who had been his fathers
employer had caused the young fellow to be
educated with his own boys.

Queen Olga Deceived

A MONG numerous victims of that notorious
n international swindler who perpetrated
numerous frauds in this country under the
name of Prince Lahovary' (his real name
was Manolescu) was Queen Olga of Greece.
She found him seriously i'll in the great hos
pital at Athens which owes its creation and
endowment to her His case interested her,
especially after he had informed her that he
was the son of Colonel of the Rumanian army,
and a godson of Queen Elizabeth, known in
literature as Carmen Sylvia" Had it not
been for the fact that at the time relations be-
tween the courts of Athens and Bucharest
had been temporarily suspended, Queen Olga
would undoubtedly have written to Elizabeth,
and would'have been enlightened as tothe record
of her patient. She would have learned that
while the story of his parentage and Of the
sponsorship of Elizabeth of Rumania were per
fectly true, yet he was an outcast, an ex-
convict, and fugitive from justice.
Naturally he concealed these things from
the kindly Queen of Greece, who became
daily visitor to his bedside, and whose SYM
pathies in his behalf were aroused to such an
extent that when he had recovered sufficiently
to leave the hospital she not only brought him
out to her country place at Totals for his con-
valescence, but furnished him with several
thousand francs to enable him to return home
70 his parents. OF course he did not go back
to Rumania but made his way to Berlin,
where he not only perpetrated a number of
new swindles, but actually managed to in
fatuate Countess Angelica Won konigsmarck
TO such an extent that she consented to marry
him at Genoa in 1850.
The Countess who is the daughter of one
Of the oldest, most illustrious and historic
Houses of the German aristocracy, has only
within the last two years succeeded in obtain
ing dissolution of the marriage, of which, by
the way, Manolescu gives graphic account
in the biography which he has been cynical
and shameless enough to publish quite re-
Gently.
There have been scores of other instances in
which swindlers have succeeded in preying
upon ROYALTY. their victims including King
George Of Greece: the late King of Wurtem-
berg King Frederick William Nv. of Prussia,
who in the 5o's lavished honors upon a sol
disant Prince of Morocco, subsequently dis
covered to be an Armenian criminal; Queen
Isabella OF Spain both the late and the pres
ent Kings of Portugal, and last, but not least,
that astute potentate King Leopold of Bel
gium. But the instances cited, though few
in number are nevertheless calculated to show
that Americans are not the only ones to be de-
ceived by bogus foreign nobles and that even
the numerous and elaborate safeguards devised
for the protection of Old World royalty against
dangers of this kind are insufficient to prevent
their being frequently duped by modern
Robert Macaires."
