Prices Are Fabolons.
Cairo proper la pruct.calty confined be

applied to the sudden rise of prices given

Viltlsh agency, and running down to the

One of the latest has Its origin in Paris.
At the moment of the assassination of

cuttings of all the comments on King
Peter's accession to the throne of Servia.
Aa might be Imagined, these run Into hun
dreds of thousands. The director of the
"Argus" had them artfully pasted into
handsome morocco bound volumes, and
came personally to Belgrade to present
them to his maesty. and at the same time
present his little bill, amounting to about
110,000. Unfortunately for the director of
the "Argus" most of the cuttings ,wcre
far from being pleasant reading for King
Peter, and he flatly refused either to take

ROME, July 14. (Special Cablegram to

United State has a royal convert or imita
tor In the matter of his theories In op
position to "race suicide." The latest re
cruit to the rank of the advooatea In favor

than Queen Margherita of Italy. Not only
1 does she exnrM hje horror of "race aut-
c1d ., but h. op.nl personally thanka

matter.
It is not often a queen Is Interviewed,
and still more rarely does that interview
contain anything more than studied words
of politics. But the newspapers of Italy
and Continental Europe are publishing and
republishing Interviews with Queen
Margherita of Italy In which she expresses
her opinions at length upon many matters
of. Importance. Among other things, she
says:
Womea Shoold Be Women.
"I am absolutely opposed," she said, "to
any extravagant theories of what is called
the emancipation of women. In whatever
condition of life a woman may be placed
her first duty Is the negative one of not
giving up the qualities that distinguish her
sex. Above all, she should guard against
developing the traits of men. A blending
of ancient reserve with modern lndeperid
ence would give us the Ideal woman." Her
majesty believes In large families. "How
else," she asked, "Is a nation to progress
except through Its people? There Is a
poetry and a pathos about childhood which
appeals to every right-hearted Woman-
Most women, though they may not be able
to put thls Idea Into words, feel It. They
have the maternal instinct. Hence the re
moteness of race suicide. Women show
their Intellectuality." . she continued, "by
rearing healthy and great children. Just as
much as they do by writing books or paint
Ing pictures. The wife who deliberately re
fuse, to bring children Into the world must
have something wrong with her moral

Falsehoods About Rome.
There wss an old saying in vogue many
years sgo to the effect thst the chief city
In Europe for gossip was Venire. Florence
was renowned for smalt scandals, Milan
for libels and Genoa for downright denunci
ations of public men. Rome then wis cele
brated ss being the object of palpable lies
told with an air of complete verisimilitude.
and baseless rumors plausibly supported,
and downright fabrications that stsetle,1
popular In-aginatlon by their audacity. The
art of lying about Rome still flourishes In
the so-called "liberal" Journals of Paris.
A bold specimen of the art was that con
trived and published recently as a pre
liminary to the beatification held in Bt.
Peter's.
The story of the three conspirators, with
the woman who was to faint and so direct
public sttentlon while her companions scat
tered the desth dealing bombs was known
here before" the beatification ceremonies
were held. The completeness of- the news
paper knowledge of the whole plot was
worthy of Sherlock Holmes. But nowadays
people are so familiar with the Idea of
bomb throwing that they appear glad to
believe real novelty concerning It.
Inquiries made at the Questura the Scot
land Yard of Rome and at the Vatican
brought out the whole nature of the story.
The story was denied altogether at the
Questura, yet, for precautionary measures,
an extra number of guards of public se
curity were sent to 8t. Peter's.
Explanation hy Official.
The commander of the PontiB.cn! Gend
armes declared that rumors of anarchical
Intended attempts at bomb throwing are
systematically circulated every time that
grand ceremonies are announced to take
place In St. Peter's. This commander had
been Informed of the rumors spmad abroad,
but he did not attribute any weight to
them.. He was accustomed to such tricks
of fancy, yet notwithstanding his disbelief
In the danger threatened, he considered It
necessary to redouble the vigilance of the
Pontiflclal Guards. Hence all persons were
rigorously wstched at the entrance of the
Basilica and the women's little reticules
were occasionally searched. The imagina
tive Rome correspondent of a London news-
paper who reported that SO.Ono Invitations
to me ceremony or Bunoay had been sent
out, and' thst only about 2,000 persons at
tended, exaggerated very wildly. Indood.
The number of Invitations corresponded
very cloaely with the number present and
the loweat calculation of the latter reaches
7,000.
Another reckless tale which has been In
vented for the Paris Temps tells that the
cardinal secretary of stste Is to be put
down from his scat and that Cardinal
Rampolla Is to be placed In It. and all for
the sake of the dear and gentle French
government. This, dresm waa all too ex
travagant to he believed In at once, so
there wss a beaUng about the bush to
render It -more palatable to the multitude.
There la no truth In the statement.

JOHANNESBURG, July 14. - (Special
Cablegram to The Bee.) Forty American
opera singers, some of whom sre accus
tomed to salaries of $260 a week, are trying
to reach home from South Africa, where
their company collapsed. The Jamea Nelson
company went from New Tork to Johannes
burg, where It was booked for nine weeks.
The repertory consisted of "The Prince of
Pilsen" and similar works. Business waa
bad from the start and at the end of the
seventh week salaries were no longer forth
coming. As the price of living In Johannesburg Is
high, the singers were soon stranded. But,
bsd aa waa the plight of the male artists,
that of twenty-four women In the party
was Infinitely worse. By the generosity of
friends funds were raised to send the com
pany on to Cape Town, .where each one
had to shift aa beat he could.
One of the alngera says that the people
of England and America have no Idea of
the seriousness of buslneea conditions In
