One's Rank in America is Easily Dost— Girls Who Have Married for Titles and Girls Who Would Like To. (Copyright.l New York, April 12.—“ There is no douht that American girls have a great fondness for foreign titles,” said Ward McAllister the other day, in speaking of international marriages, “and presumably the fondness for titles extends to the possessors of them. If it did not it is scarcely necessary to say there wouldn't be much happiness in inter national marrying. .Tust as Sir Harcourt Courtly in “London Assurance” makes an arrangement to secure the estate of an heir ess through his marriage with her, and takes the estate with all the live stock on it, so the American heiress procures the title of countess, or baroness, or duchess, or whatever it may be which has fascinated her by accepting the foreign nobleman on whom such titles grow and have their being. The growth and development of this sort of thing is practically a matter of a dozen years. It started when C'onsuela Yznaga married Lord Mandeville, who is now the Duke of Manchester, and had its ext lamest and I suppose what is generally admitted to be its most absurd development in the pro jected marriage between Miss Gwendoline Caldwell and the Prince Murat.” “Was Lord Mandevilla’s marriage, or rather the duke of Manchester’s, the first of these affairs?” “I presume there were marriages be tween American girls and titled foreigners before that time, but so far ns the history of international marriages in New York society is concerned, that was undoubtedly the pioneer. It created a great deal of ex citement, and I suppose C'onsuela Yznaga at that time was among the most envied girls in New York. She was a pretty girl, and altnough her family possessed no great wealth, she was accepted cordially in society. She lived with her mother, if I remember rightly, in a pretty place at Orange, N. J , but was a constant visitor at the best houses in New York. When Lord Mandeville came over here first, the story was that he was devoting himself to Miss Minnie Stevens, who afterward married Cant, now Col., Alfred Paget. C'onsuela Yznaga and Miss Stevens wore at that time exceedingly good friends, and were so much together that it was very easy for anybody to mistake the fair object of Lord Mando ville's attentions. “The engagement of the Englishman to the lair American was led up to, I believp, through a great deai of very prettily col ored romance. As a matter of fact, Lord Mandeville fell ill while visiting the house of Mrs. Yznaga la Orange, and bis illness was so serious that it was impossible to remove him from the house. During the time of bis i lness the fair young girl nursed him, aud wheu he finally recovered from his sickness he made her au offer of his hand. She accepted it, and the marriage was celebrated here with a great deal of pomp and splendor. I don’t remember exactly when that was, but it was more than twelve years ago. You will remember that Lord and Lady Mandeville returned here to New York on a visit to Willie K. Vanderbilt and bis wife in 1883, and it was in their honor that the Vanderbilts gave that wonderful fancy-dress ball which long ago became part and parcel of our social history. “The Mandevilles have not been in New Yt rk since that time, but I hear from them constantly in London in an indirect way, and lam told that Lady Mandeville has made a wonderful social suocess there. Lord Mandeville, of course, is not a wealthy man, and she is not, therefore, able to entertain in the splendid fashion which is common enough in England among swell people; but lam assured that tho very best people ii the kingdom crowd to lier widest house and throng her simple entertainments. She is credited with a charm of manner and a magnetism which are much more appre ciated in a hostess than any splendid hospi tality she may be able to dispense,” “AV'hat are the other notable cases of haodsome and wealthy American women marrying foreign noblemen*” “Well, it is pretty difficult to say which are the notable ones, because from the very circumstances in cases of that kind they are all notable. Miss Mackay as you will re member, the daughter of John W. Mackay, married Prince Colona. Mrs. Frederick AV. Stevens, who was MISs Sampson, the daughter of an old and wealthy merchant in New York, and after ward tho wife of Frederick VV. Ste vens, of this city, separated from her husband and married the Duke of Dino, a descendant of the Marquis of Talleyrand, and in England, as you kuow, Miss Minnie Stevens married Capt. Paget. The daugh ter of Leonard Jerome married Lord Ran dolph Churchill, and Mrs. Hamersloy marriad the Duke of Marlborough. Lord Randolph Churchill and the Duke of Marl borough are, of course, brothers, so that there are more American wives in that family than in any other titled family in England.” “Do yos know whether or not these International marriages have been happy ones?” “I think they have. 1 know from ac count* which have been received by people in New York here that the marriage of the Duke and Duchess of Marlborough has turned out much more happily arid satis factorily than was predicted either in New York society or at the clubs. Well-known people who returned from England last fall and who had visited the Duchess of Marl borough during the summer at Blenheim castle and who saw them in Lohdon, say that their as'ablishmeiit is everything that any reasonable being oould wish, and that the Englishman and his American wife seem to be very happily united.” “Mra. Col. Paget has been iu New York during the past season, has she not?’ “Yes, sho came over here on a visit to her mother and has been seen a great deal in society during her stay. She has been at the opera frequently, has attended all the balls and leading entertainments, and seems to have enjoyed herself thoroughly. She finds entertaining in New York much more elaborate than it was when she left here several years ago, and declared herself to be somewhat astonished over the ad vauces that have been made here. She is look ing exceedingly well, althougu not in such robust health as her friends would like to see her, but I have no doubt that the trip she contemplates to the south of France will put her ail right again. Some of her comments on American society as viewed from the English standpoint' have been very entertaining, and I have no doubt that her suggestions here to her scores of friends in aoniety have been very service able. On the other hand I have no doubt that she w ill bring back a great many ideas which will tie of use ou the other side. YVe take a great deal from England, but at the same time we are in a position to give them a great doal in return.” “Do you ibink it true that a good many of the marriageable girls here whose fathers are very wealthy go abroad during the summertime with the idea of marrying titles on the other side?’ ‘•[■hat's n pretty difficult ouestion to answer, said Mr. McAllister, smiling in a slow, shrewd way; “but, as American girls do frequently go abroad, and as reports come back here concerning matrimonial possibilities with respect to foreign titles, anv one may draw his own conclusions 1 do rot know that it is anything to the dis credit of a young girl that she desires to marry an English duke, or a French prince or a baiman baron, so long as th ir titles are genuine and their estates not too hoavil v encumbered with mortgages ” Undeterred by this father diplomatic import. aSk °* U feecou<i question of similar “ Is the report true that a very handsome k young woman, who has figured pronii- nently in New York, Washington and New port society, and who is the daughter of a Chicago man reputed to be worth some where in the neighborhood of 110,000,000 has refused a number of offers from eligible youDg Americans, and has announced her determination to go over to Europe next year and marry a husbaud of aristocratic connections and ancient lineage f' “I can only guess who the young lady is to whom you refer, and I cm only say that if she has any intention of the kind she has not bad the frankness to acknowledge it. If any such raid is contemplated on the supply of foreign titles she has been discreet enough to maintain the utmost silence with respect to it,” “Do you think that the ordinary Ameri can girl in society who has money, or whose father has money, which is the same thing, would prefer a young Englishman to a young American, if they were equal in every respect except that the Englishman possessed a title”’ “I don't know what you mean by the or dinary American girl, but there are some American girls undoubtedly who would take the title. There are other American girls who w< uld allow their personal affec tions and possibly their patriotism to influ ence them in favor of native talent.” AV hen this point in the conversation had teen reached Mr. McAllister was smiling and good natured in the extreme, and in dulged occasionally in a very low and not at all unmusical laugh. It was not difficult to discover that wheu he said that Ameri can girls were fond of titles ho meant that the assertion should have all the significance it could possibly lie made to bear, but wheu he was pressed to make some explicit statement further than the simple one with which he started out he fenced the I inquiries with a skill which evidently came from much experience in light wordy war fare and in clever drawing-room badinage. I appreciated all this, but returned again to tK.. offonb “You say that American girls are fond of foreign titles and intimatp that they would rather marry a titled Englishman than an untitled Ameri an. AA’hv do you think this is the case.’ AA'hat advantages, social or otherwise, will they enjoy in Eng land or in France which they do not enjoy here?” “Well, there,” said Mr. McAllister, “is a question which I can answer. I’ll pass by the fact that there is something in being a duchess or a countess which is attractive to the ordinary woman, and will say nothing of the fact that a titled position has a s; ecies of superficial gutter and fascination tor them, and simply point out this one thing: The social position of a man or woman or a family in America is something that has no permanency whatever. AA’hat I mean to say is that there is nothing inherently permanent about it. It dejiends on outside circumstances aliogether. If a family start < in with wealth and the energy and disposition to entertain their friends in so ciety, they can maintain themselves pretty well on certain given lines; but if their fort unes are affected in any way whatever, or if they cease to entertain by 'reason of lack of desire or any combination of circum stances, their social position suffers at once. Men and women in society hero are pre cisely what they make themselves, and if they don’t go forward they are bound to go backward! This situation is part and parcel of the condition of the country and the people. "In countries like England and France, where society is very much older, this is all different. Certain families have certain positions, and they hold them not only from year to year, but from generation to gen eration, and the titles iu the family are simply indications of their claims to this recognition. They may stop entertaining for years, if they please, and go aud live in China for any length of time they choose. When they come back they start iu precisely where they left off. There is not the constant struggle and emulation which is characteristic of society in every great American city. A woman who has a social p sition knows that she has got to be doing something continually to maintain that position. And women here who are fretted and worried continually with this constant necessity for being con stantly on the alert, welcome such a condi tion as this with tbe utmost satisfaction. A w oman koows that if she married a title, this title means a position in tvigland; that nothi ig can ever take that away from tier. If she starts in by being somebody, she is somebody to the end of time. In New York sbe may be somebody to-day and no bodv wnafev- rin a few years fnrn now. I don’t say this in tho way of criticism at all. Perhaps the condition of things in this country is much sounder and much health ier than it is in the older countries of Eu rope. Perhaps it is part and parcel of our republican form of government. I am simply stating the facts in the case.” “Well, are there any other reasons whv American woraon prefer to marry English men or Frenchmen belonging" to noble houses?” , “N > other that I know of, unless it be that they find fife 0:1 the other side easier than it is here—more pleasant and abouu ling in luxuries. It is perfectly natural that among society people on the other side who have had uo:hiug to do except amuse and e itertain each other for several generations they have found means for amusement aud entertainment which are more novel than old-time diversions which we kuow here, aud are therefor a more enjoyable. Life is made easy aud pleasant by means of devices which are discovered, of course, by a series of experiments, and if these experi ments have been conducted for a long series of years, as they have been in France and England, instead of tho few brief years os they have been in America, it Is perhaps not to be wondered nt that the result is more pleasant and satisfactory. They have a charming country life loth iu England and the continent, and their town life is more abbreviated than ours and perhaps fuller of piquant pleasures. I have not lived o : the other side for a matter now of a quarter of a century, so I am not in a position to judge. I only know what is told me. But this thiDg is certain, American life among society people is gradually coming into greater and greater resemblance to life on the other side, and I think now It is a mat ter of very short time when New York will be one of the gayest capitals in the world.” “You don’t think there is much marrying for love in society nowadays, do you?” “O! yes, they do it. As Pooh Bah re marks, ‘I havo known it done.’ There was the ease of Miss Fricke, who married Frank Foster the other day. That certainly was a marriage of affection. Miss Fricke was unquestionably one of the most beautiful women in the country, and Mr. Foster, although he is everything that a women would care to have 11 a man is, 1 believe, by no means wealthy.” “But was that not an exception to the rule?” “O, I am not prepared to say that.” “Asa matter of fact you don’t think that marriages iu Ne.v York are as much a mat ter of adjustment betwesn parents as they are iu France, and is not one party ex pected to supply money, perhaps, and the other party social position? Is not there an absolute exchange of advantages in some wav or other?” “1 don’t think,” said Mr. McAllister, “that we have got matters to the point they have long ago reached in France, but it would bo idle 10 deny that there are a great many marriages which are known iu France as manage de conveyance.” H. 8. Hewitt. Disraeli's Collateral. Disraeli onoe went to a certain Israelite, says the Arena, and asked for a loan of several thousand pounds. “On what security, Mr. Dis raeli?” queried the Hebrew doubtfully. “On the security of my ambition md my genius,” said the young politician, calmly. • ‘A T ery ex traordinary collateral, Mr. Disraeli," murmured the other, “but call on me to-morrow, if you pleas ■. and we will talk it over.” The jew was wise, and Disraeli got the money; and, perhaps, when he saw a young man of merit s’ruggling along, he recalled, as he stopped to help him, with a thrill of supreme satisfaction that bitter hour of failure when his first speech was drowned by the uoise of the o .position and he closed it abruptly ■withthe passionate prophecy: “The day will come when you shah hear me.” TIIE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, APRIL 13, 1890-TWELVE PAGES.

Y., April 12.—A lady it. Savannah, who has been under the care of a professional “mental scientist,” submits a question which is sufficiently interesting to be discussed in this public correspondence. “Do you think,” sbe asks, in straight-for ward English, “that one can by an effort of the will prevent coffee from keeping one awake at night? lam particularly fond of after-dinner coffee, and the lady who has been treating me says, -Drink the coffee, for it is not the coffee that Keeps you awake, but your mental attitude toward the coffee. It is simply a thought, and if you do not allow yourself to think that thought, you will drink your coffee and sleep as usual.’ ” I have been treated to a goodly amount of this same kind of stuff, and, as far as I can judge, it is unadulterated nonsense. It certainly will not bear a logical test, an 1 has only an unsupported theory to recom mend it. The effect ot coffee is exceedingly marked on certain organisms. It stimu lates the nerves and brigtens the intellect. A strong cup of c offee has helped many a weary sick-bed watcher through the trying nights, and made it possible for the flagging faculties of the penny-a-linor to write the story which brought the broad for the childien. On sme persons coffee has apparently no effect, but a strong cup of tea iu their cases will produce the same stimulating results. To say that these effects are brought about by a belief that they will be produced is to accuse human nature of more imbecility than ready be longs to it. We are all unobservant and illogical and foolish enough, and perhaps generally fail to charge effects to then proper causes, but I know tho nerve thrill, the beautiful waking-up wrought on me by a cup of coffee, and it is an insult t > my intelligence to tell ma that this intell-ctuil snriug is the result of a thought. What next, I wonder, in the way of foolish ness.’ I would like to ask those theorists why the sleep which follows a dose of mor phine, or unconsciousness coming after tho inhalation of ether or chloroform, is not the result of a thought. So 1 say to my friends who cannot drink coffee at night without subs -eiuent wakbfulnoss. Let the cup of d.ssination pass you by. The mo mentary enjoyment a id the pleasant effects of tms beverage cannot surely m ike up for the loss of a night’s sleep. Banish every thing, turn a c >ld shoulder to everything that interferes w ith this most necessary rest. Good sleep is the foundation of good health. There are unfortunately many innocent sufferers from insomnia. Tney do not drink c ITee. ne tberdo they indulge in any nerve stimulant. They simply cannot sleep. Various remedies have from time to time been prescribed for this most unhappy aud dangerous condition, and once iu aw cue wo hoar of something that seems to possess real efficacy. In talking over this matter with one of our most distinguished pnysieians, I was informed that in his opinion a great deal of insomnia is produced by taking to bed (he tangles and perplexities of the day. A mother surrounded by her family has no time t > think out the problems of daily living; the business man, full of schemes and ambitio:iß,and threatened with reverses, cannot plan h s campaign surrounded by his clerks and customers. The fine ixoints are all saved till the lights are out a id the house is quiet. The habit of drinking in toxicating liquors or of using tonaceo is not m re quickly c mtracced than the habit ot sleeplessness, my doctor told me, a id when once acquired* is tbe most difficult ot all habits to overcome. Now, white I cannot agree with the mental healers iu their theories of thought-causes, I am a staunen believer in the power of the will, and so when this physician told me that he had seen scores of cases of cnrnnic insomnia per manently cured by turning off the thought currdfits simultaneously with the gas or lamp in one’s bed-room, it seemed to me there might be a good deal iu the idea. “ How is it done!” I asked. “Let us take a man,” be replied, “who is thoroughly aware of his danger and is anx ious to do all he can to secure sleep. 1 say to this man, when you go into your bed room det.-rmine to stop thinking. By a little mental skill you can reject, an intrus ive thought. Tni > may be at first only to make place for another, but the second can bis disposed of in the same manner, and after awhile by refusing to harbor any one thought the pi -turns upon the mind grow mixed and kalideoscopic, and then follows the passivity which produces comfort ibla slumber. The experimenter must not grow weary in thus koeping guard over the door of his mind, for a few nighti of such picket duty will in the majority of cases briug splendid results. The secret of it is not to allow one thought an instant’s entertainment. I there were some words that would describe the action of the mind iu chasing these thoughts. Home body some time will give the recipe with as much OWEN'S ELBCTRIC BELT. case ns a good cook tells how her soup is made.” The doctor then added the following good advice: “Tell your readers who suffer from insomnia that while endeavoring to keep their minds a blank to rolLtheir ey s up ward, this being the natual position of the oyes in sleep. This is one of tho most direct invitations to the drowsy god, and one of the most difficult todeoline. ” Eleanor Kirk. “mis SIDE UP.” A Tailor Travels From Vienna to Paris In a Box. From The Bondon Telegraph. Securely packed in a big box, labeled "This side up,” “A\ T ith care,“ “Frag ile,” and other re ninders to railway por tors, an Austrian tailor named Hermann Zeitung, according to tbe police report, has come in a train all the way from Vienna to Paris. The affair seems incredible, but it is none the le?s an adamantine fact, and thi3 very afternoon the daring tailor was sent off from the Eastern railway custom bouse to tbe Paris central police station. The following is the true and authentic version of tho strange voyage and advent ures of Herr Zeitung. He found himself bankrupt in ATenna, but as t.e was an able cutter, and had invented anew style of lady’s riding dress, he thought by going to Paris'he might be able to make capital out of his in vention. He accordingly ordered a box, lined it well with straw, and got into it sup plied with beer, bread aud sausages. A trustworthy friend or assistant,formerly in his employ, wrote the necessary directions on the box, which was thou forwarded to the railway station for Paris. Ingeniui Her mann, the tailor, was thus coil vexed by th e Orieut Express across Austria, Bavaria, AYurtemberg and Alsace into France. During nearly sixty hours he suffered purgatorial paius, for be v as uuable to move, dirink, or sleep, and could only squeeze a few pieces of bread and meat now and the i into his mouth Sometimes he felt himself thrown violentlyon handcars by porters, while being transferred from one car to another; at others he was buriod beneath a pile of b >xes which threat ened to crush in his ribs or smash his skull at any moment. At last, after having under gone a time of indescribable torture, of which probably no one has never before had ex perience. Herr Zeitung suddeluy found him self longo than usual out of a railway van. Then he knew that he had arrived at his dist illation but the difficulty was now to extri c ite himself from his narrow wooden prison. He heard voices and people about him at every minute, and consultations were evi dently being held over him, or , rattier, his box,which was lying by an unusually long time without anybody "coming to claim it. At last he began to sneeze, and heard some body mutter an exclamation. Then he coughed, and he heard himself tapped over head. Suddenly tho lid of his case was lifted off, and out he jumped, tothe amazament, if liotconstomatlon, of a groan of custom house officials, who uttered a chorus of inter jectory exelamatiousat beholding a veriteabl “Jack in the box,” in tie shape of a stout, under size man, with a brown mustache, and clothes all covered with straw, salute them i:i a hang-dog manner and accost them in a language which they did not understand. The practical donuniers soon recovered from their very natural surprise, and taking in the situation, they pro nptiy made a prisoner of the sartorial pa cel and inarched him be fore their chief officer, who handed Hermann Zeitung over to the police. At the station the tailor coolly remarked in Gerinaa that he did not care about the consequences of his action ns he was now in Paris. He also promised the station superintendent to re pay him as soon as he could, but all this he will have to settle with tbe magistrates. Britain's Great Gun Foundry. From Eu.gf.nr Fiv’d's Loudon Letter. Years ago, bifore AY'oolwie'u w-as known, the great royal armory used to be in Moor lields. :aid here were manufactured tbegreot gu is with wnich Britain terrorized herfoes. On > day a modest-looking young man was visiting the place. He saw a large red-hot mold being prepared for some process or other, and lie asked w hat it was for. Upon being told that a cannon was about to be cast therein, be said: “That is an im ossibiilty; if you attempt it an ex cl >si in will follow.” He was laughed at, and the workmen pro ceded with i heir labor. But no sooner was the work of casting begun than the mold exploded with terrific violence and several men were killed. The catastrophe created a prodigious stir, of course. Rmailing the words of warn ing uttered by the stranger, the identity of the young man was soug it and discovered; I be had made a study of gun manufacturing, and to those interrog ir.ing him ha evinced a thought knowledge of the art. The result of the matter was th it. this young man wa em ployed by the government and subsequen tly rose to the superi itendeucy of the works, which were eventually moved to Wool wich. One day a hundred years ago, a bnnevo lant-looking man, clad like a far tier, mean ered into the manufactory Tne man were taking their noon. “My lads,” asked the stranger, “what are you doing?” “We're doing nothing no w,“ answered the ine i, "but presently we shall be eating our dinner of bacon and beam.” “Good!” ex claimed the stranger. “ And "if you have no objections I will-cat bacon and "beans with you.” Tbe farmer-like stranger was His Majesty George 111. and ever since thatuay, inoom memoratiol of that event, tne secnd Sat urday in July is celebrated at the arsenal.
