PURCHASES INSIGNIA
OF ORDER OF GARTER
But It May Be Questioned
Whether Chapman Obtained
Money's Worth.

Worth In paying 1500 tor the m-j
slgnla <>t the Order of the barter j
at the -ale >in Thursday las', of the]
Barle collection of coins and leltcs.
a most stringent rule has existed
for centuries requiring the Insignia of j
the order to be returned on the death I
of any of its knights by bis principal
heir, or by his executors. Tals rulo
Is rigorously enforced, even when the]
knight In question happens to be ai
foreign monarch. The eame rule exists'
with regard to the Scotch Order of the
Thistle, the Irish Order of St. ~at-^
rick, and to the tlrsl-class?th't Is,
the Grand Cross?grade of the Order i
of the Hath. St Michael and St. George. ;
and the Star of India.
Moreover, it is a regulation In vogue
in tht case of Inany continental orders,
notably the Italian Or*ler of the An?
nunciation, the Prussian Order of the
Black Eagle and the, Austrian and
Spanish Orders of the Golden Fleei e
Thus. each of thu now living
Knights of the Golden Fleece
arc wearing Insignia hundreds of
.?ears old. Dial iiuv, been In the pos?
session of many famous men. the col?
lar bestowed by Alfonso XII. on the
tlr.st Prince Bismarck, having pern worn
in the sixteenth century by the Duke
of Alva, the oppressor of the Nether?
lands. ?\h.:> that granted to Marshal
MacMahon had at one lime adorned
the breast of Louis XIV. of France.
That <>f the late Don ','arlos, Duke of
Madrid, had belonged to Duke Charles
the Hold of Burgundy, and It may be
remembered what an outcry theie was
some twenty years ago when it became
known that uon Garloa had pawned
it during a time of llnanclal embar?
rassment.
King Humbert of Italy had the or
der formerly bestowed on Christopher
ilumbus, while mat once borne oy
liernaudo Corte;: was conferred upon
the late Emperor Frederick of Ger?
many.
Of oourse the rule requiring tho
eventual return of the' insignia is In?
tended to preserve them, to prevent
them from falling into unworthy hands,
and from becoming the object of Just
such trade and barter as that of the
Barle sale.
Emperor William' of Germany was
glad to pay several thousand dollars
for the recovery of the Jewelled insignia
of his ordei of the Hlack Eagle, which,
bestowed upon ihc late Bmperbr of
China, was stolen during the Boxer
cbclliou <-f 1900, by the looters of
the Imperial Palace at Pckln, and of?
fered for sale in that city.
What Dr. Chapman has succeeded in
irchaslhg at the Barle sale is more
than probably .one of those replicas
Of the Star and Jewel, (or badge) of
the Garter, which some of the knights
hove especially made, In order to pre?
serve in their families, as lasting me?
morials of their membership In the
order.
Thus the third Marquis of Hertford
caused a replica to be made of the
star, studded with dinmonds to ths
tune of some $60,000. It was worn by
Iiis son and successor, the fourth mar?
quis who was also a Knight "f the
For Infants and Children.

in the BrltUh army, of which ho was'

that other diamond-studded replica of
the Star of the Garter, pros-'iited to
him at his coronation, as tho result
of a public subscription among all tho
GeOrgeS of Great Britain, from peers
to laborers.
It will be seen from the foregoing
that tlie Garter insignia which Henry
Chaphiah has pur based can be nothing ?
but a facsimile, and tho price paid
Indicates of course that it Is not even;
jStUdded with the most inconsiderable
of gems.

giving testimony In their own palaces;

I When Sir William Gordon Cummins
was cnarged with a mistake while card
playing, during the still celebrated
grame, of bacarat played at Tranby
Croft, in IRS'.', ho is said to have given
a written pledge never again to touch
a card, while on tho other hand It Is
also stated that every one presont at
tho game also signed a paper ?olomnly
pledging him or herself not to reveal
tho affair as long as Sir William ad?
hered to his pledge. In some way the
-.vholo matter became known?not. how
? ver, as generally believed, through
j tho Countess of Warwick, slnco ?ho j
was not a member of the house party, I
and has never crossed the threshold j
of Tranby Croft. Sir William evi?
dently believed that It was Mrs. Arthurl
Wilson who betrayed him. since when '
forced by his fellow officers of the
Seots Guard and by the governing com- |
mlttcea of his club to attempt to cl. ar j
j Ills reputation. It was against his host-!
ess at Tranby Croft that he brought
his memorable suit for slander. His I
prln I pal lawyer was Sir Edward
Clarke, former Solicitor General, a
sell.made man of strong character,
but without tlnesse or tact. The Prince
of Wales, as one the members of the
bacarat party, was Invited by Sir Ed?
ward to furnish his testimony In the
case, and Insisted upon doing so in

One after another the so-called signa?
tories to the pledge of silence, being
[under oath, were asked by Sir Edward
i whether they divulged tho secret, and
all alike denied having done so.
When the heir-apparent took the
1 the stand, Sir Edward cross-examined
j him with a degree of Independence1
i which led those present to believe thai
; he would mar his prospects of future
preferment. But, neglecting, out of
' respect for his future sovereign, to
j ;>sl< htm the same question?had he
broken the pledge??the prince, in
