VISCOUNT DANGAN,

 FAME IN THE THEATRE

Christian Arthur We1lesey, viscount Dangan, son and heir. of the third Earl CowIey, and known to the thetres of England and America as Arthur Wellesley, was a, Christmas gift to his parents just a quarter of a century ago. The heir to an earldom has ap- parently taken his theatrical aspira- tions quite seriously, as he has now devoted several years to his efforts to shine on the stage. He was origin ally destined for the army, and once held a commission in the Fifth Lane CTS, but he didn't like army life. de- c1aring that it was t.too conventional" His theatrical debut was in the hum
 ble role of a scene painters assistant, and for some months he worked for wage of S6 a week. His ability as dancer, which won for him the nick name of the ''Waltzing Viscount'' at last enabled him to get a music nall engagement, and later 9 small part in the Gaiety company. He received $10 Q week as a chorus man in ''The Sun

While in New York with the 'fThe Girl on the Film company the young nobleman paid his devotions to Miss May Picard. an American ac- tress. This time he was more success ful and when he returned to England he took with him the actress as his bride. Her 1adyship has since present ed the titled actor with son.
 Viscount Dangan was cut adrift by his father some years ago. but, as he is in the good graces of his uncle and aunt, Lord and Lady Hythe. who are very wealthy, it is not likely that he has taken to the stage from financial necessity. The Viscount at one time spent several weeks as d cab driver in London. Viscount Dangan is a descendant of the great Duke of Vel hngton's brother. His father, Earl Cow1ey, has had many domestic vicis- situdes. He has been three times mar ried, twice divorced, and once sued for breach of promise, the plaintiff, Miss

THE HAPSBURGS.

The house of Hohenzo1Iern, which now rules the destinies of the Teutonic peoples, has just attained the 5O0th year of it's reign. The house of flaps burg formerly the dominant royal family of Germany, and which, in the person of the aged Francis Joseph, now controls the polygIot Austro- Hungarian empire, is even older, the 600th anniversary of the establish ment of the Hapsburgs having been celebrated 33 years ago today, Dec. 27. 1882. Hapsburg, or Hawks Cas- tie, on a lofty eIninence near the right bank of the Aar, was built in the eleventh century and gave its name to the imperial house of Austria The castle is now in ruins The first count of Hapsburg was Werner, who lived in the latter part of the eleventh cen tury. but it was not until 200 years later that one of his descendants Ru7 dolph, was elected emperor of Ger many and archduke of Austria. He conquered Ottocar of Bohemia, and gave his provinces, Austria, Styria and Carnio1a, to his son Albert, who be- came German emperor. From the reign of Frederic III, who died in 149S. the Hapsburgs were powerful enough to make the German imperial dignity stationary and almost heredi- tary in their house down to the last hour of the old German empire.
