Passong r. who arrived In New York on the White Star lltur ooanlo yesterday were n tIpto with uriosity when the vessel reach. d her pier to learn the identity ef a myst ri us voag'r wh appeared on the passi ng,r list under the tltl of the Baroness ! Bazus. Persons skilled in the family histories f the continental nobility had tried in vain to guss the nationality of this family. It has b n noticed that the baroness, who yeenul an unassuming woman of rather more than middle age, wore many costly rings ami that a crest nppram! etri mo-t of h r possesions. She hal a mall, long-haired tlog, of which fch.' seemed very fond. All the other passengTs were on th alert at the lock to mo what friends met the baronss. They were surprls-l and rays tilled when the baggage was distributed acoonling t) the initials of its own rs, to see the baroness go to the letter "L" instead of to "B." Some of the curjous ones stood near enough to overhear a waiting friend hay, "Why, how do you do, Mrs. Leslie?' ami the mystery was solved. The baroness was Mrs. Frank Leslie. Mrs. Leslie willingly explained the origin of her title. She hai tak-n it, she jald, because she did not apprve of the policy of the publications whieh bear the Leslie name and did not wish longer to be Identlbed with them. "This title dates back to the time of Saint Louis. King if France." ald the barones. "Saint 1ouis conferred! it upon Phillipe Pied. the head f a family In southern Fratu e. He had. b shies th title of Baron de Bazus. that of Count de Lateyroehe. "This last title is now in the family. I have just come fr-m visiting them, and I have had a delightful time. "Ancestors of mine came to Iuisian from France on account of the Huauenot P-rsecutioi;s. About ten or fifteen years ago my aunt established her rieht by birth and marriage to the title of Baroness de Bazus. and she decided to wlalm it for the b netit of her son. This son died seven or eight years ago, and as my aunt, too, is dead, the title passes to me. The family in France received me with on arms and were glad that I had the title. As they have the title ef Count tic Lateyroehe they could spare the edher one. "By an act if the French Parliament in 1747 the Barons de Bazus are mentioned and their rights of proceIure and the like confirmed."

Originally she was Miss Marlon Florence l .Hin. She married 11. G. S piier, afterward Fnited States minister to Peru, and after she eparated fr. in him married Frank Leslie. After Mr. Leslie's lesth he married in is:l. William C. K. Wilde, from whom she obtained a llvor.
