Paris, July 10.—American fathers, es pecially of the millionaire brand, are constantly being accused of saving up their daughters to sell them for Euro pean titles, or, rather, for titled Euro pean sons-ln-law. And certainly the glory of speaking casually of “my daughter, the Contesse de Chateau la Deche," has occasionally tempted some of our compatriots beyond their strength. One is impelled, thinking of these things, to ask, “Why sell both your daughter and your ducats for a title, when you can acquire one, to be your very own, and to go down to your children's children, for the ducats alone?” Good American dollars can buy In the open market titles of absolute au thenticity without any disagreeable at tachment of broken-down sons-in-law or colossal mortgages on ruined cha teaus. There are several ways of se curing such purchased nobility. The rightful possessors of authentic char ters can generally sell them. I be lieve, indeed, that English titles are absolutely the only ones that cannot be so transferred. These depend upon the recognition of the sovereign and are inalienable. When an English no ble family dies out in the course of na ture, the title “lapses to the crown,” and only the King or Queen, or the English Parliament acting for the sov ereign, can confer it. But the titles abounding on the continent of Europe can be sold like butter or cheese by the proud possessor, and the pur chaser becomes, instanter, just as no ble as legal recognition can make him. San Francisco people will remember the history of the poverty-stricken Italian Marquis who, ten years ago, shoved a push-cart laden with bananas about the town until one day he learned to his amazement that his title was marketable. A shrewd lawyer agreed to vend the right to a coronet for the needy push-cart man. An English visitor bought it at a stiff price and is now splurging around Paris with a magnificent coat-of-arms emblazoned on his brougham, and passes everywhere, as is his undoubted right, as the Marquis George del Bos chini, while the ex-banana seller, re duced to the rank of a private citizen, lives humbly, but without having to work for his bread, in a tiny vine-clad cottage near Brinsidi. That was a case in which the bargain worked out very well for both parties. But things do not always happen so. At an elaborate New York club where high play is often indulged in, a French “vicomte,” who had been re ceived into the best society on the strength of his alleged family and title, staked his “nobility” against a large sum of money and loSt. The winner, a well known gentleman of Knicker bocker stock, insisted that the charter of nobility be turned over to him. He had, of course, no intention of wear ing a title so acquired, but it rather pleased him to possess under lock and key the papers demonstrating his right to do so if he chose. He laughingly stated, indeed, that he meant to make a cabinet collection of foreign titles as other men collected stamps or book plates. “When you come across a priceless stamp, say an early three-cornered Cape of Good Hope, you don't stick it on your hat to show every one that you possess it,” said he. “You just put it in your album and look at it now and then to help you feel good. That's what I am going to do with this vis countship—just collect it.” But that’s just what he could not do. The “viscountship” did not exist, even on paper. The noble frenchman was a fakir, wearing a home-made title not found in any court guide. He was dis creetly hustled out of the club and out of New York society. Probably he had reasons of his own for not returning to Europe, as two or three seasons ago he was running a shooting gallery on Coney Island and doing a roaring trade on the strength of being a much wronged nobleman.” Other bearers of foreign titles are even more unscrupulous; they forge the charters and sell them for large sums. Quite recently in Paris fc. rascal was unmasked who had lived in princely state for years on the proceeds of a bureau at which he sold dukedoms, countships and all the rest of the truck at prices varying according to the purse and gullibility of his victims. That he had carried his swindle to the perfection of a fine art is sufficiently proved by the fact that timong his dents was the genuine possessor of an authentic and ancient title of count. The count In question was discontent ed with his rank, which in truth does not amount to much in Paris, where every one numbers some Ijalf dozen counts among his acquaintances. He coveted the title of "marquis,” to dis tinguish himself from Ihe common herd of counts, and he bought it at the cost of a heavy check. His confusion and shame in society were painfull to wit ness after he had discovered that he had paid a high price for a yard or so of absolutely The one way of being sure that you are getting the genuine article is to buy your nobility over the counter of a sovereign state. And there is at least one sovereign state that lives and grows fat on supplying the demands for charters of aristocratic prestige. It's rather paradoxical that it should be a republic that ministers thus to the vanity of mankind, but the little Democratic border state of Man Mari no between Italy and France makes a handsome profit out of these trans actions. Its 8,500 inhabitants live free of all rates and taxes under their re publican independent flag on the mon ey constantly flowing into the state treasury in return for the magic stamped and sealed parchments which Purifier and 8 1 at Druggiata. or Mailed.

The only disadvantage attacking to this kind ot “noMIUy” that your sounding title is necessarily new; it has no ancient traditions behind It; you do not get any ancestors with it as you do, in a sense, when you buy a title going back to crusading days. Rut, on the other hand, your right to your dignities and social precedence over "commoners” is, according to European ideas, unassailable. A San Marino title is indisputable. "You pays your money and you takes your coro net,” and nobody can question your right to it. any more than to a pound of coffee you have bought at the store. There is no nonsense about the San Marino way of doing business. You don’t have to pretend that you are a great man and have done “signal ser vice to the state,” as is the case in some other title-selling courts. You just make up your mind what title you deserve, ask the price, plank down the gold and go on your way rejoicing, an unquestionable "noble for all time to come. I have to confess that after ex tensive Inquiry I have not been able to find out what the schedule rates are. The only accessible people who know are San Barino "nobles." and naturally enough, they won't ‘tell. It has, however, been stated with a reas onable show of authority that a duke dom, rarely sold# costs about $60,000. The title of prince may stand you in about s4o,ooo—for, by the way, tit is an error to suppose that a dukedom is in ferior to the title of Prince. Except in the case of royalty, the Duke ranks higher, and a “prince” will become a Duke when his father, the Duke, dies. A Marquisate is the title most often dealt in; it sounds good without being, on the continent of Europe, so ambi tious as to excite very much question, socially, as to its origin. It sells, or is supposed to sell, at about $30,000 —and remarkably cheat? at that price. Ypu can become a Count for $26,000; a Vis count (or rather Vicomte, for the Eng lish title of "Viscount” is a very dif ferent thing) for $20,000. There is also the title of Baron that amounts to very little, except, again, in the English peerage; it is almost never bought at the San Marino store. The dickering is done through the "secretary for for eign affairs.” In fact, the selling of nobility to foreigners is the only “af fairs" this dignitary is troubled with. There can be no question that San Marino has for centuries been a blot on the map of Europe. It has a good Christian origin, having been found ed in the fourth century by Saint Marinus, who with many other Chris tians. was exiled from Rome during the Diocletian persecution. But it has de generated since. Until quite recently it shared with Spain the honor of be ing a sure refuge for criminals of every kind: extradition did not exist, and thieves and assassins were received and protected with cordial kindness. That has been reformed, but its title shop still gives sharpers of all kind the sham prestige which helps them to their har vest. San Marino flourishes on its trade. It had a beautiful little build ing at the Paris Exposition, where it showed specimens of its innocent pro ductions, oil and wine and exquisitely carved woodwork. Thereby hangs a (ale, which, true or false, greatly amus ed Paris. President Loubet opened the San Marino palace and duly admired the graceful little show. But on com ing out he slyly remarked to the Mar quis de B at his side: "It is very charming, but they have left out from their exposition the most remarkable products!” "What are they. M. le President?” "Their charters of nobility and the vain fools and sharpers that buy them!" The Marquis de B smiled a little painfully at the presidential Joke. He is a perfectly honorable man, but his own title came from San Marino! It's an open question whether "le bon pere I,oubet” was in thts matter as delight fully Innocent as he looked.

Hundreds of San Marino nobles are, like President Loubet's victim, above all suspicion of shady practices, but even they do undoubtedly gain an ar tificial. and to that extent dishonest, prestige from their purchase honors. Their high-sounding names get them the directorship of companies, procure them large credit, and often specially favorable conditions, in commercial transactions, and open to them the doors of select, society, from which they derive considerable financial ad vatage. The maxim that Lord Bea consfield puts into the mouths of a character in one of his brilliant novels remains true in European society. "It is good to be honorable; it is better to be titled: it is best to be both." All over the continent a title, no matter how obtained, is a social pass port, and by reflection, a commercial asset. That and also the variety of mankind, accounts for the fact that the little republic of San Mai-ino finds such a profitable market for its en nobling strips of parchment. That, too. is why the plausible fakirs selling purely fictitious titles almost invaria bly succeed in fooling hundreds of gul lible imbeciles before they are laid by the heels. Stephen Austin.
