sian adventurer who played certain role
in Ahyssinia about fourteen years ago. Al
ways ignored by the Russian Embassy IN
Paris. and avoiding the land of his birth.
since his last return from Abyssinia- in
1928. he insisted that his title of count had
been bestowed on him by the dusky Negus
of Abyssinia.
He also. On his last return thence, pro-
claine1 that he had been appointed by En-
peror Menelek Governor General of that
monarch's Ethiopian provinces'-a vague
term. since all Abyssinia is known as the
kingdom of Ethiopia. while territory to the
east of ADyssinia which the adventurer in
dicated as the locality of his viceroyalty.
never belonged to Menelek or to Abyssinia
On the strength Of these stories and Of
equally mythical concessions he founded
several companies in Belgium. in conjunc-
tion with Brussels fnancIers of doubtful
reputation. and with their assistance man
aged to dispose OF his concessions to cred
uIous investors for very large sum. Of
course the concerns came TO financial grief,
and the Belgian police bebame SO pressing
in their attentions TO Leontief that he
found it prudent to retreat to France,
where he remained till his death. posturing
and cutting some little figure in cosmopoii-
tan society but being carefully avoided by
the official and diplomatic world.
There were two reasons why he did NOT
dare to return to Russia. One of these was
that he had obtained from Russian mer-
chants at Moscow. at Odessa and a I.odz
an enormous quantity of variously assorted
merchandise for the purpose of bartering
in Abyssinia and of opening UP trade be-
tween that country and Russia. Leontien
sold the goods all right. but kept the
money. and the merchants were never able
to obtain any redress.
Then. too. he had. with the object of
strengthening his position in Abyssinia.
taken with him to Russia, on the close of
his first visit to the land OF the Negus,
batch of Abyssinians of more or less sub
ordinate rank. He had dubbed the oldest
one of them special ambassador and him
self as the counsellor of the mission. Pro-
ceeding TO ST Petersburg. he. by his
grandiloquent stories, caused his com
panions to be received by Alexander III
and BY the imperial government with all
the honors due to authentic embassy.
Its members were extensively entertained
and overwhelmed with costly presents and
with decorations. while Leontief caused
the alleged ambassador TO distribute among
Russian dignitaries various classes of
decoration which he called the Star of
Abyssnia-" and which were received with
great appreciation.
II was only after the departure OF the
mission and its return to Abyssinia that
il was learned at St. Petersburg that the
embassy was entirely bogus. that 1t had
been intrusted with no mission by Emperor
Menelek. that its members we're all men of
no rank whatsoever and that the order of
knghthood known as the Star of Abyssinia
was a fantastic invention of Leontieff,
about which Menelek knew nothing.

LORD NEWPORT HERE
Takes Title of Irish, Not Rhode

Copyright 1910. by ths Brentwood Company
Lord Newport who IS now staying al
the summer resort bearing his name, has
only quite recently become invested with
that title, which he takes, not from New
port ia Rhode Island, but from Newport in
Ireland. For until a few months ago he
was known as Robert Jocelyn without even
a prefix OF honorable" But on the death
OF the sixth Earl Of Roden III the spring
the latter's peerages went to his Younger
brother, Colonel Robert Orde Jocelyn, who
had commanded the Liverpool regiment,
and who is a veteran OF the South African
wars Of thirty years ago. His eldest son, In
accordance with English usage and tradi-
ton, adopted one of his fathers minor
honors. and became by courtesy Lord New
port, though remaining a commoner in the
eyes of the law-that is to say, he is lord
without being a peer of the realm.
Lord Newport's mother has achieved con-
siderable note as a novelist under the name
Of Ada Maria Jocelyn."
The Jocelyns hail from the county OF
Essex. where they were fourishing already
in the reign Of King John and of Henry
III. Sir Thomas Jocelyn is on record as
having been created q knight at the corona
ton of Edward VI. But the first Jocelyn to
receive a peerage was Robert Jocelyn. Lord
High Chancellor of Ireland. who ere
ated first of all Baron Newport of New
port, and then Niscount Jocelyn- His son
was for his services as Auditor General of
Ireland advanced TO the rank of Earl OF

nshed in Ireland ever since they were raised
to the peerase by George II, In the early
part of the eighteenth century. and the

realized that little money was coming in
from his fathers earnings he often ex-
pressed his desire of getting a job and
helping his parents. His mother at last
consented. The only clew Mrs. Biddescomb
has had of her son was when she received
a letter from him a fortnight ago, mailed
at the Grand Central station, saying that
he had job and that he was getting 81 90
a week. and that he would return home on

American Missionaries in Danger.

In view OF the number Of American mis-
sionaries who are stationed in various parts
Of Arabia It may be well to call attention
70 the fact that the British government
considers the situation there sufficiently
ominous to call for the heavy reinforce
rrent of the naval forces patroling the
Red Sea and the Persian Gulf, and also of
the military detachments employed to
guard the various English consulates and
stations along the coast The situation
both in Arabia and in Southern Persia is
regarded by the British authorities in
