BRITISH TITLES COST MONEY
Neat Bunch of Fees Extracted from
the FRVOritcs of the
Crown.

Finding ones name in the "Honors List"
Of Great Britain is not all "currant cake
and cockades."
or course, It is a great thing to receive
the recognition of ones country; but every
time the state secs fit to confer titles
wholesale upon gentlemen for services
rendered" 1t makes quite q pretty penny
out Of its beneficence-and this, be it added,
not by the sale of favors, but by perfectly
legitimate and recognized means.
Upon a number OF gentlemen, for in
stance, will be conferred this June the
privilege of putting Sir" before their
names and Bart behind it. This is, OF
course, extremely pleasant But another
side of the case quickly presents itself
when It Is realized that every baronet has
to pay nearly $500 for his title.
This is made up of the payment demanded
for the grant of letters patent-that is,
stamp dutes--crown office fees and home
office fees The crown office swallows up
just under half OF the total payment, the
stamp duties a trifle less, while the home
office comes in with modest little demand
for the remainder.
Considering the difference in social stand
ing of a baronet and a baron, ego or so does
not seem a great deal extra to pay for this
latter most coveted title. Altogether a
baronage costs $3.50 7s-f150,l2s for stamp
duty, f179 los for crown office fees and
tSO los for home office fees.
Proceeding up the social ladder 1t costs

TRESPASSERS ON RAILROADS
Public CareIessness Responsible for
Many Deaths and In
1uries.

It is not generally understood how large
a proportion of the deaths and injuries on
the railroads of this country is due to the
risks wilfully taken by trespassers who
persist in using the right-of-way of
public thoroughfare. The annual reports
of the Interstate Commerce commission
for the last eleven years show that in this
period 10000 persons were killed or in
jured and that of this total about fifty
thousand were killed outright. The large
ratio of fatalities to injuries, which is
several times larger than the ratio that
obtains in the case OF accidents to pRssen-
gers and employees, suggests that practi-
cally all these accidents were due to tres
passers being struck by moving trains,
The records OF the commission show that
in 1898, 4O6S trespassers lost their lives
on American railroads; that five years
.aler lne nuInDer A.-.eu was o,VOJ and that
in 1897 it rose to 5,6l2; that is to say, on
every day of that year an average OF over
fifteen people lost their lives entirely
through their own folly in trespasing on the
right-of-way of railroads. Figures com
piled by the Pennsylvania railroad alone
show that 465 trespassers lost their lives
on that SYSTEMS lines in 1889, and ISL were
! killed in 1904; while in 1907 tine number
reached 9l5, an average Of about three for
every business day of the year. In the
last named year this company inaugurated
vigorous campaign against trespassers,
and as result the NUMBER Of fatalities
! in 1905 was reduced to 757.

this shocking slaughter. which stands as
distinct reproach against the civilization
of America, is to be found in the thorough
