No house OF the Italian nobility has
contracted greater number of al
liances with Americans than that OF
the Ruspolis. Thus. the late Don En-
manuel Ruspoli. who was for so many
years Mayor Of Rome. married Miss
Josephine Curtis, OF New York. and
was so great an admirer OF the United
states that he gave the name OF George
washington TO one of his sons His

King George is about to revive the
use OF the baton for admirals of the
fleet, and there is no doubt that his
example will be followed immediately
By the German. Russian and Austrian
Emperors. The rank OF admiral of
the feet is the naval equivalent for tho
grade of field marshal in the army.
In Germany and Austria the admirals
of the fleet are styled gross admiral,
and in Russia. captain admiral. The
field marshals Of the army have a
baton adorned with the royal arms
and heavy gold mountings. as insignia
OF their rank, which they carry in
their hands on all state occasions. In
former times the admirals OF the feet
in England also had batons. But their
use was abandoned prior to the acces-
sion OF Queen Victoria, and is only now
about TO be revived. Indeed. only
seven OF these batons have ever been
bestowed by the English crown, among
the recipients being the Duke OF Cla-

WIFE SHARE IN
MILLION HANGS
ON DEATH DATE
Bookbindery Employee Not Aided
by Relatives Who Have Re-
ceived Their Portions.

NEW YORK, Nov. S.-Struggling
against needs for existence and bear
ing the grief which the death of her
baby in a poorhouse brought to her
Mrs. Catharlne Spencer, of No. 100
Franklin avenue, a frail little woman
of rs, is fighting to-day for a share
of the million dollar estate left by
the late Daniel Cunningham, saloon
owner and real estate Spectator of
Manhattan.
Daniel Cunningham was her
granduncle and scattered throughout
Brooklyn and Manhattan are rela-
tives, aunts and uncles of the girl
who have shared in the estate to the
extent Of many thousands of dollars.
None of them has offered to help
haitian bookbindery for few dollars
weekly and the executors OF her
granduncle's estate are fighting very
persistently her claim to a share OF
Daniel Cunningham's vast fortune.
Mrs. Spencer's claim to a share Of
the Cunningham millions rests on the
judicial decree of Surrogate Ketcham,
of Brooklyn. that her father, who had
not been heard of for seven years,
legally died in October. 1912.
Alive When Will Was Made.
This would compel the courts Of
this State to recognize that he was
alive in October of 1911, when Daniel
Cunningham made his will and, IN
consequence, one of the children Of
Cunningham, his deceased sister.
Mrs. Spencer's lawyer, Lehms n,
brought the executors before Surro-
gate Fowler in New York County and
demanded an accounting in her be-
half. The executors still claimed that
she was not a party in interest and
interposed in objection an affidavit oy
Daniel F. Mahoney, Jr,, son of one
of the executors, to the effect that he
had made a trip through the West in
search Of Mrs. Spencer's father and
was informed by certain persons an

Left Wife and Child.
John Cunningham is, or was. as the
case might be, for there Is no direct
evidence that he is dead a son of Mrs
Ellen Cunningham, who was siste
of Daniel Cunningham. John neve
