BY invoking the assistance Of the secret
cable code of the State department at
Washington, the marriage of an American
woman to a bogus foreign nobleman was
delayed. If not wholly prevented. Definite
information was sent to friends of the
bride-to-be showing the assumed nobleman
to be an adventurer and the husband of a
wife living in Brooklyn, N. Y. Aside from
the feelings of disgust provoked by the
tuft-hunting craze, II is a wonder more Of
the crop of fool heiresses are not taken in.
Europe has an over supply OF bogus noble
men. The real article is veneered vice
the bogus merely adds deception 10 the
shady record. In France at the present
moment the government is endeavoring to
separate the real from the fraudulent. and
the winnowing process brings to light a
vast number OF titled humbugs. Every
holder OF a title being required to prove
its genuineness as a specific grant, or one
formally recognized by the government,
has caused a wholesale shedding of bor-
rowed plumes among Frenchmen. The
French record. when made up, will be
UNDUE in one respect. The owner Of a
title will have a tax certificate to sub
stantiate his nobility.

Discussion of a partisan character Is
going on in Ireland and England over the
delayed publication of a letter from Theo-
dore Roosevelt, president, to Ambassador
Bryce dated March 2. in which the work
of Sir Horace Plunkett in the cause Of
country life betterment in Ireland and
the United States is acknowledged and
complimented. Before l leave the presi-
dency,' Mr.. Roosevelt wrote, Il want to
acknowledge our debt, and send through
you the thanks Of every man who knows
what has been done and sees the need
and the sure results of this great move
ment to help the men and women who feed
the nation and stand as the foundation of
It's greatness and progress" The justice
Of the tribute to the unselfish work OF the
noted Irishman is conceded, but apprecia-
ton of the compliment and it's source Is
marred by the petty accusation that the
British ministry suppressed publication of
the letter for two months out of regard
for the feelings of members of the Irish
national party. Mr.. Plunkett is a con-
sentative in politics, a stanch party man.
He is opposed to the policies of the liberal
party and its allies, the Irish nationalist.
Thu fact thai he was superseded as head
of the Department of Agriculture of Ire
land by the liberal ministry knocked a
prop from under the pie counter of the
tories. A few of the crumbs of the de-
partment fell to the nationalist. In the
eyes Of the tories this is a crime little
short of treason, and the party guilty of
the offense is condemned beyond hope of
pardon.
