THE "OLD FAMILIES"

The New York World rises TO pro-
test against the prevalent lamenta-
ton over the extinction of the old
American families
The old families, the World main
tains. have always had tendency
to die out. There has never been a
country nor an age in which the
celebrated families have not been
disappearing. In England, where the
aristocracy is supposed to be as an
Gent and durable as any in the
world. great numbers of once ia
nous Families have become utterly
extinct. Those which persist have
kept their lines unbroken only by
continual marriages with more pleb-
elan stock. There is nowhere an
aristocracy that has kept its blue
blood pure for centuries.
In American, as in Europe. great
men have left few lineal descend
ents. In Revolutionary days the
Tories. who were the aristocrats of
that time. were gr;eving over the
threatened extinction of their class.
The Revolutionary families now re-
gardeG as old were mostly new then.
Now they. too, are at the yanishins
. point. There are few cases where
the great Revolutionary names sur
yive through an uobroken line Oh
descent. And even in these cases
the strain of blue blood is SO
modified by the admixture of vulgar
/ red blood that little remains but the
name and tradition.
Old families are always dlsap-
pearing, and new families OF vigor
and worth are always arising to be-
come "old" in their turn and disap-
pear giving place to other aristo-
Gratis according to the shifting but
systematic working of nature.
/ 1--WE have no fear that there will
not always be plenty of fine old
American families They will con-
tinue 20 come and go. some Of them
lasting longer than others, but all
finally giving place to fine new
! American families. Whatever may
be said of particular families, the
parent stock is not exhausted, mol
is II ever likely to be."-Jaekson-

New York. Nov. 27-Several big
bets have been placed on the Army
and Navy football game today. The
odds, in most instances are even, and
there seems little inclination to al
low a shade of advantage for either
side. Defeats at the hands of var
ious elevens have not diminished
the public's interest in the contest.
West Point and Annapolis have pre-
pared for the combat with unusual
energy. The setbacks which the
elevens received in exhibition games
have had little bearing upon the
situation, except IN the betting.
