Pretenderinq..

From the New York Sun.
In these days of cool calculation and
materialism, pretendering has lost the
gloss of the romantic. Although Bilboa
and it's neighborhood may remain, like
the Jacobites in Great Britain after
1745, true as the dial to the sun, al
though it be not shined on" their 10y
atty appears without hope OF reward.
Pretepdering would be now hardly
more than a business venture, and
stocks in Carlism, limited or incorpor-
ated, would scarcely get a bid on any
bourse of the world. Spain has been
a changeable country but the present
ruling house is strengthening it's foun'
dations and the land is more prosper
GUS than for many years. King AL
fonso is getting nearer to the hearts
of his people. and Queen Victoria the
little English princess, with her wish
to emulate Grandmother Victoria, is
helping. Verify. quite materially help
ing; for the little Prince Alfonso, two
years old, Infante Jaime, one year old,
and Infantc Beatriz. one month old,
with the blood Of Saxe-Coburg-et-
Gotha in their veins are three sound
reasons for believing that Carlism at
present Is as dead as door knob OF
the Alcazar of Segovia.

The money was subscribed in a few

Brown had agreed to give - of l per

made on a form of contract that had
been previously agreed upon. 1t was
provided the money should be paid
when the Commercial club disposed OF

agreement has been complied with in
all its details. but Brown had contend

A MODERN DARTAGNAN

It is we'll now and then TO let the
pother OF the tariff: the Vaccinations
Of the Sugar Trust: the conpl..:nt of
the weather ana the Quotations Of the
stock market I'll take care of them
selves.
In this most matter Of fact OF prac-
tical ages. we are prone to get our ro-
nance from the sources of the ten
best sellers and the stage. It is
doubtful II even Dumas holds the sway
that once was his. with the Count OF
Monte Christie and the redoubtable
D'Artagnan. But nevertheless the
death OF Gen. de Galliflet in France
brings back the truth that romance
still clings like lost hope to this age
Twas De Galliflet who jumped gaily
from bridge over the Saone on horse
back and disported himself awhile in
the water. He. gallant Gaul. crossed
the Russian lines in the Crimean War
to kiss fair young lady who was at
that time his lady love. A few years
later in Mexico he led a battalion
after grape shot had torn open his
abdomen. And then in the Sedan
cAmpaign-well history becomes more
unbelievably strange than ever. Dur
ing the Commune he gave utterance
to the phrase: Il would rather be TAX
en- for q great murderer than a petty
assassin" Thereupon he let the mob
have their fill Of lead and shell.
In all he seems to have resembled
q reincarnation Of D'Artagnan and
Cyrano de Bergerac. 1t was the lat.
ter who composed sonnets while run
ming his opponent through with his
rapier.
The most characteristic trait OF the
hot blooded bravado is his cynical
answer to a French compiler of a

In spite OF the reductio ad absurdum
OF AL life today to its lowest com.
monplaceness it is reassuring to have
a real romantic figure now and then.
And though de Galliflet may not have
the qualities of Won Moltke he has
at least made as great a contribution
to the larger realm OF Romance az
ever did the German commander to
the German Empire.
