Charles Henrotin. in addition to the Order of Leopold, is a chevalier of the Belgian Order of the Crown; an officer of the Civic Order, given for twenty-five years' service; a member of the Order of the Seventy-fifth Reign; and as consul for the Ottoman empire is a Commander of Medjidie.

Hobart Chatfield-Taylor has the Spanish Orders of Isabella the Catholic and of the Garter, and Portugal has named him for the Order of St. James. "Chamberlain of the Sword and Mantle" is the one order accorded two Chicagoans by the pope of Rome. Charles A. Mair and William J.

Onahan are these distinguished men. Mr. Onahan, as organizer of the St. Patrick's society of Chicago in 1865, was the means of directing observance of the saint's day for many years. He organized St.

Patrick's league, and through it many Irish immigrants found their way to the opening of the west. His work toward organizing the Roman Catholic congress in Baltimore in 1889 and his efforts for the world's fair congress in Chicago brought him to the attention of Pope Leo, who honored him with the decoration. Charles A. Mair: a number of years ago was in Rome, where his first wife was attacked by fever. There the "Blue Nuns," or the Little Sisters of Mary, cared for Mrs.

Ma ir, and when Mr. Mair returned to Chicago he opened his purse to the establishment of a home for representatives of the Order at Forty-second street and Indiana avenue. Already he had been a liberal patron of the Chicago Industrial school, established by the order of thE Good Shepherd. Modest as Mr. Mair Is, his work attracted attention, and he was decorated as a "Chamberlain of the Sword and Mantle." Thomas Brenan Refused a Decoration.

One other Chicagoan, years ago, was tendered this church honor and out of his democracy refused it. The man was Thomas Brenan. for a quarter of a century a member of the school board and earnest and active in all civic affairs. Friends argued with him that it was an honor to be neither courted nor declined. But "Tom" Brenan was obdurate.

It was something to his friends, however, that for "Tom" Brennan in his honesty and democracy and simple, upright citizenship, THE TRIBUNE, under Joseph Medill, commended him for his stand. Death and removals from Chicago have thinned the ranks of Chicago's wearers of foreign insignia. lam Vocke, well known attorney, died a mem')er of the Prussian Orders of the Red Eagle and of the Crown. Prof. Camillo von Klenze of the University of Chicago returned to Bonn a member of the Red Eagle Order.

Dr. Williara Rainey Harper died high in the order of the Red Eagle and one of the Legion of Honor. Robert Lindblom died a member of the Swedish Royal Order of Vasa. Henri Merou, former consul for France in Chicago. was a member of his country's Legion of Honor.

That the decoration Is not lavishly conferred may be seen from the fact that the present consul, Baron de St Laurent, hat not the decoration of the order. CEDER or THE CROWN, ITALY. Dr. Anton Jo Magorio, Dr. Camillo 1713311, Consul Sabetta Guido, Luigi D'Urso.

At the present time the order includes foreigners who may claim attention of the republic. There are five grades. in order of importance those of ehevalier.

William Deering and James Deering are officers in the legion. Hobart Chatfield-Taylor. for his literary work and general attitude toward French letters in Chicago, is a chevalier in the legion.

Henry J. Furber former president of the Alliance Franca Ise, has the decoration, and Maurice W. Kozminski. for a quarter of a century representative of the Compagne Generale Transatlantique at Chicago, also was decorated chevalier. Austria-Hungary has honored four citizens.

Cooley and Attorney Adolf Kraus, because of connection with the jury of awards in educational exhibits at St. Louis wear the decoration, as does Edward Claussenius, honorary vice consul at Chicago.

They do not boast of it. Most citizens do not know of it. If you should greet one of them as "My lady" she probably would be more amused than flattered. Yet Mrs. Potter Pailmer and Mrs.

Ellen Henrotin have been decorated with the Order of Leopold, Belgium. In Chicago we scarcely realize what these distinctions meanhow much they are coveted in the countries of the old world; how they are beyond the pu- chase price of money and the solicitations of influence. and how men will make every sacrifice, and even face death itself, in order to obtain them. Have Entree to Courts of Europe. In the courts of Europe the names of these titled Chicago citizens are ranked among those favored of crowned heads with the insignia of noble orders which may date back beyond the discovery of America itself.

Decorated with the insignia of these orders in all their resplendent ranges, these Chicago residents and citizens entitled to the distinctions might group into pictuTe rich enough to invite the brushes of some of those old masters who delighted in the rich colors of portraiture in the time of Louis XIII. Ordinarily the resident of a foreign republic and native to it has few opportunities bringing him into the notice of royalty. Democratic in his principles, he does not invite royal favors. But in Chicago, when the opportunity for activities confronts the Chicagoan, he doesn't waver if in the end that opportunity shall attract the attention of a crowned head and bring to him'. a patent of nobility in a kingly order.

Onahan, Charles A. peror Mr. McCormick was decorated witn the Order of the Rising Sun of the first class, the highest order that can be awarded to a nonresident of the empire. It is a civilian distinction, which ranks with the Japanese Order of the Kite," which goes only to the military and naval officers of highest distinction In war. Frederick J.

V. Skiff, -director of the Field Columbian museum, is the one other Chicagoan wearing a Japanese decorationthat of the Order of the Sacred Treasure of the third class. This came to Mr. Skiff through his connection with the world's fair at St. Louis.

While the Japanese emperor is most sparing of his decorations of foreigners, Emperor William, perhaps, has been the most liberal in his decorations of Chicagoans. Not a few of these, however, are of German nationality. The two orders, in their several classes, are the Order of the Crown and the Order of the Red Eagle," the latter being of higher distinction. Many Chicagoans Decorated by Kaiser. In the distriliution of the Order of the Crown the visit of Prince Henry to this country a few years ago brought that representative of the German empire into personal touch with many residents of Chicago, and their courtesies extended on the occasion of the royal visit were recognized by the emperor.

Also a few years ago, when the University of Chicago extended invitations to certain German professors of German universities to visit Chicago, in eIer that the t'niversity of Chicago might bestow honerr ry degrees of that institution upon them, several of the Chicago professors in turn were awarded decorations of these But of -the wearers of these decorations perhaps no one of 'them appreCiates more the honor of these ancient orders than do the handful of veteran German residents of Chicago, who in the Prussian campaign of 1864 earned the decoration of the Iron Cross' for deeds oU valor in the field.
