A GERMAX ROMANCE. Count Von H?chberg to Work For Wife, Formerly Shop Girl. -, New York, Sept. 12.-Count Hans Ferdinand von H?chberg has sudden? ly achieved, a certain degree of fame as well as notoriety by marrying Louise Carow, the Berlin shop girl. The ceremony, which was solemnized at Ossining, X. Y., established the fact that the nobility of the old world may on occasions give evidence of nobility c* " eart, as well as merely the legal ; mt to a title. Count von Hochberg, at one time j playmate of the Crown Prince of. Germany, and the rightful heir to the wealthy Duchy of Rohnstock, has re? nounced all his chances for promo? tion in the military service of the Kaiser, as well as-his position in the German court, in order to save an obscure shop girl from disgrace. Fur? thermore, he has given up a princess, to whom he was engaged to be mar? ried. Count von Hochberg was morgan atically married to Louise Carow j * some time ago in Berlin, but his par- j ents succeeded in ' persuading the j Kaiser to set aside the ceremony. I Realizing that a stigma would attach itself to the girl's name, von H?ch? berg came to America and secured a if . position as a chauffeur. He sent for Miss Carow, now Mme von Hochberg, and they were again married. Von H?chberg will continue to live in America and will try to forget that he is a nephew of Princess Marie von Saxe-Weimar, and a cousin of the Grand Duke Michael von Saxe Weimar.

Calcutta, Sept. ll.-Reports from Teheran state that the Shah's rescript for a constitution orders the forma? tion of a national consultative assem? bly composed of representatives cf all - - classes, from the princes downward. The assemblv will advise on the important state and public affairs, and will propose reforms conducive to the welfare of the people and the country. : Justice will be administered in ac cordance jrith the sacred law. The grand vizer is to draw up the rules of procedure for the assembly, and these are to be" approved by the as? sembly itself. *Xo one would buy a sailboat with sails that could not be reefed.

Sept. 12-The inter? state commerce commission made public an order calling on the rail? roads of the country for informa? tion in regard to block-signaling prac? tice and electrical signalling appli? ances. The information is asked in order that the commission might comply with a joint resolution passed at the last session of congress. In the opinion of the commission the subject is one of the most impor? tant of the several matters which were referred to it by congress, and it has to do with the safety of life and property in railroad travels. The questions asked the railroads are framed on the principles approved by the American Railroad Association? and contemplates not only full sta? tistics as to the practice of all the large railroads and the present state of the art generally, but also the salient facts as to the merits of the block signal or space interval prin? ciple of the running of railroad trains and information as to what progress is being made in the intro? duction of improvements. A Question With Two Sides. It was suggested some time ago that something might be done to? ward mitigating certain peculiar lo? cal conditions and extraordinary local temptations to lawlessness by adopt? ing in the States of the South the system . of mounted police which has long been in use in Australia, in the Canadian Northwest, and in Texas which has in the last year been estab? lished in Pennsylvania. Whatever one's private opinion of the wisdom of maintaining such constabu? lary in a settled and presumably civi lided country; whatever one's indivi? dual view of the adaption of such an instrument to the particular situation, involved-and strong objections have been urged by leading newspapers in the South and elsewhere-there are not waining signs th?.t the experi? ment is likely to be tried. In the first place, Texas, whose Ranger force has long done admira? ble service in restraining- lawlessness on the Mexican border and in the cat? tle country, is. it is said, to be materi? ally strengthened. This, though the Mexican border is now admittedly well.-bchaved and the cattle country needs less watching than formerly. The trouble at Brownsville and the hint of the possible withdrawal of Federal troops from several posts cn the Rio Grande would no doubt sug? gest this increase in the State's own force of movable and dependable peace oificers; but it appears further that the experience which has proved j the value of the Ragers has encour? aged the notion that they constitute an institution for general security not only worth retaining but w^rth in? creasing now that the peculiar con? ditions which brought them into be? ing have larrely disappeared. For at the moment ' Texas is certainly not the least civilized of the States. In the second place,' there have been suggestions from Atlanta-a town characteristically American and not characteristically Southern were several flagrant cases of as? sault by negroes have lately occurred, that the situation be met by creating a quite unofficial and extra-legal so? ciety of citizen regulators. That such a thing should be suggested argues, of course, a curious state of mind a seeming preference for doing things without warrant of daw. But it also argues a feeling of the need of a peace-compelling force which does not now exist. Such a force, obvious? ly, a body of State Rangers would furnish. Equally obviously the Ran? gers could do al) toward preventing crime and apprehending desperate criminals that any regulators could do-and do it decently and in order, as the regulators could not. Therefore the cry of "regulators'" may be regarded, if you choose, as a blind groping after a mounted con? stabulary by law established and by law controlled, a perfected form of regulator of which the average Geor I gian is quite ignorant. To be sure, The Columbia State points out that a force such as could reasonably be maintained could not guard every lonely by-road and lane. But neither can the irregular regulator do that. I Xor does the city policeman guard j every alley and court. He is not even j always within call, but he oft cn is. He may be at any time. So with the mounted Ranger. The Richmond Times-Dispatch looks with favor on the plan, pointing out that preven? tion of crime, not punishment after? ward1, is the ytoint to be considered, and urging that if a State police can i not do ail. it may do much. ' Clearly it is an interesting ques I i tion. Clearly there is much to bc said i : ??ii both sidos of it. Clearly tin; prop? osition bas in it at least one excellent element. it seeks to introduce law and order into a situation full, as we remarked in the beginning of tempt? ations to the contrary-full also of practices to thc contrary.-New York Times. GREAT PAUPERISM MENACES I ENGLAND. Over a, Million-Ono Hundred Forty Eight Thousand lu London Alone. London, Sept. ll.-There are near? ly a million paupers in England and Wales, excluding Ireland and Scot? land. The problem of pauperism is one of the most difficult confronting the new liberal government. As the population of England and Wales is roundly about 34,000.000, the number of registered paupers 926,741-gives an approximate per? centage of 27 in 1.G00, or about 1 in 37. Of the 296,.741 paupers 147,629 are registered in London. The ratio of i j pauperism to the total population of the country grows steadily. The "un j employed" problem will be more seri ? ous in London next winter than ever j before. Parliament has not yet been able successfully to deal with the general problem of pauperism, nor with the specific one of London. It is proba? ble that Parliament at the forthcom? ing fall session will be compelled to adopt some radical measuure to deal with the menace of poverty-for it has become a menace to the whole country. Radicals hope that in seeking to mitigate the evil of poverty the un? just feudal land laws of England will be reformed. Many economists attribute all of the woes of the "submerged tenth" in England to the present oppressive /*? land laws,, which relieve the land 'i :* lords of their fair proportion of tax burden of the country, and enable English and imported millionaires to maintain vast estates for hunting purposes, preventing the cultivation of the land. A party of seventeen immigrants from Bolton, England, has xeached Rock Hill. They have worked ir? the English mills all their lives and will probably find the same employment in this country. WISE SAYINGS. They do the best for men who see the best in men. The self-centered life is always small in its circumference. It takes more than mixed' drinks to make a good "miser." It doesn't take a brave deg to bark at the bones of a lion. The cure for poverty must come at {the point of character. There is no such thing as a scientific religion without service. People who live for public approval often die of private chagrin. A great deal that we call genius turn:s out to be plain grinding. A straight gait is good evidence of having entered the straight gate. The historic incarnation is vain without the actual daily incarnation. Many a man loses his reputation for wisdom by trying to give expression to his looks. / You cannot reflect the sun of right? eousness when your face is clouded with gloom. Many a woman feeds her children on pickles and spices and then wonders where they get their depraved appe? tites. Why He Didn't Look. Senator Hale, apropos of an awk? ward remark said : "It reminds me of the conversation of two ladies at a reception. "These ladies were strangers to each other. After a moment's desultory talk the first said, rather querulously: " 'I don't know what's the matter with that tall, blond gentleman over *here. He was so attentive a while ago, but he won't look at me now." " 'Perhaps,' said the other, 'he saw me come in. He's my husband, you know.'
