1"MK. June Z. Sperlal.)-If certain
predictions come true, anil It really looks
as If tho facts proved that they would, a
tlmn will surely come when only million
aires will be able to live In Koine. FVir
some years the prices of so many things
have gone up whan compared with, what
they were formerly, or what one Imagines
they should be, that they have In fact at
tained fabulous heights. It Is all very well
for the traveler or the visitor to get a
sort of chill at Hires at the sight of his
hotel bill, but what about the permanent
resident, who las to pay many another
VM besides that of a hotel bill? Prophets
hnve arisen on every band to show that a
time will come when the permanent In
habitants of the city will ho, obliged to
live on one meal a day and that meal of
the character of bread and water. The
fact that the price of bread is iVlna- raised
by one-fourth of Its former valu; Is cans
Ins; people to Inquire what Is the trouble
and now It has been found that not only
bread, but moat, vegetables, milk, butter,
coffee, tea. chocolate, and In fact food
tuffs of every description have risen
considerably v. thin the last year. Comesti
bles of every Kir :..ve Increased In price
from 20 to 30 jwr cent, and It Is claimed
here that llvlna- has iisn at such a rate
that even travelers hesitate to come to
Rome. It Is argued by the Italian stu
dents of social science that the Increases
In the necessities of life Is the chief cause
tit the unprecedented emigration of Ital
ians to the United 8ta,tei.-n emigration
o large and Increasing at such a rate that
Ihe Italian government llHelf has become
tlarmed.
Kins Favor Commission.
It Is said that the king Is In favor of
Ihe appointment of a commission to take
traattc action and try to prevent the peo
ple from leaving the aiioies of Italy ai
the rate not of tens, but hundreds of
Ihousands per year, but some, of his min
isters argue that this Is necessary and that
Jt really affords a sort of an economic
afety valve. However. It appears quite
rertain that next winter the most strenu
Dtis legislation will be adcrpbed to prevent
:he operations of the emigration agents In
'.taly. It is held by some of the officials
Ihnt they are really to blame for the
,'lnllans sailing to New YWk In droves
nd that In the main their business Is not
enly misleading, but absolutely dishonest.
And according to all accounts the situa
tion Is equally bad If not wairse In Greece,
there the emigration evil Is said to be
assuming serious proportions. The Ore
Han government has recisnlzed the dis
astrous result of the exodus which Is taking
place and as a first step Is already bring
ing In a law which tends to limit It In
some respects. All citi&tns who have
not served In the army or navy are de
barred from leaving the country. When It
,la borne In mind that the total population
Jf Greece scarcely exceeds 2t,om, the ef
fect of an annual loss of the more enter
prising of the peasantry running up Into the
ns of thousands annually can readily be
"Understood. According to the British con
sul for the Moren this emiMrraUon question
Is rgltatlng the people and the government1
ff Greece more than any other. Although
It Is computed In this cnnnwtiun that more
than 15.000,000 Is annually remitted by
Oreeks In America to their relatives either
In the form of cash or In prernld steamer
nd railway tickets the loss to the country
of so many tillers of the soil Is one that
. will naturally worry the thoughtful. The
rost of labor has risen from 26 to 35 per
cent and In many rases local labor can
not be obtained at all. And wtiere It Is
secured It Is supplied by the women and
the gangs of Albanians and oChers who
cross the frontier during trie spring
months, cultivate the vineyards and then
return to their homes with their savings.
One of the Grecian weekly papers, In
commenting upon the building of the Pan
ama canal, says that it Is significant that
the United Plates Is constructing "that big
ditch" with Grecians and Italians, the rep
resentatives of two of the oldest and the
proudest nations of earth.
Pample of Royal Politics.
One of the smallest of the European
states, the grand duchy of Ijnemburg, Is
on the eve of some political trouble of
great local Import, and Inasmuch as the
question Is of dynastln character It may
In no far distant period Involve the grand
duchy In International complications.
According to all accounts as receive!
here the sltuntion Is as follows: The
present grand duke, Wllhelm Alexander, Is
without male offspring and It Is not be
lieved that he will ever be the father of a
son, as the state of his health Is very
precarious. lieing thus very weak, he Is
greatly under the Influence of the Grand
Duchess Marie Anna, a princess of Hrl
ganza, who Is antaunch Calholle. The
grand duchess has caused a bill to be in
troduced Into the chamber of deputies pro
viding for the succession to the throne, ac
cording to which the grand ducal crown
shall devolve upon the grand duke's eldest
daughter. Princess Marie, who Is now 13
years of age. Should the grand duke die,
as Is probable before the princess is of
age, the regency would be exercised by the
grand duchess. The objection to this course
comes from the liberal and the socialistic
members of the Luxemburg Parliament,
who claim to view with dissatisfaction the
accession of a deeply Catholic princess to
the throne, and are determined to oppose
the same. On the other hnnd It Is an open
ecret that a count of Merenberg. a distant
relative of the Luxemburg family alleges
that he has distinct claims to the throne
snd bis contention Is supported by many
Luxemburg people. The matter Is now at
a standstill, but In tho event of
the death of the grand duke an open
competition would arise between the grand
duchess, supported by the conservatives,
and the count of Merenberg supported by
the liberals and socialists. In the event of
such a competition proving an unsolvable
problem the door would It Is believed here
be opened to forcing Intervention. That Is
why the matter la being watched with the
greatest of Interest In all the chancelleries
of Bum pa.

SWINDLERS WORK NEW GAME
Claiming; Relationship with Royalty,
Tradesmen Are Indoced to
Extend Much Credit.
FARIS, June 29. (Special.) Prince Ser
glus Urusoff, or a man thus atyling him
self, has Just been sentenced by default
to two years' Imprisonment for defrauding
tradesmen on a sumptuous scale. eVglua
Urusoff gave Hmself out as a cousin of
the czar, and owning about 40,fl00 a year.
His wife, the princess, was described as
a daughter of the sultan of Turkey, who
had escaped from some harem In her own
country. "Desenchantee, no doubt," re
marked the Judgo, showing that he had
read Pierre Lottl's latest novel.
The princess made no secret of the fact
or the fiction that she had Jumn a .year
between them, a Russian princely couple
even ought to be able to live fairly well
In Paris and they duly set up In a princely
mansloh, but do not appear to ever have
furnished It. Counsel for the plaintiffs,
wine merchants, said thut the mansion re
mained bare, except for the hall, which
contained furniture and a small fountain
calculated to Impress visitors. Once a
process-server, who refused to be unduly
Impressed, forced his way beyond the ante
chamber and found nothing except empty
rooms behind. Yet the prince had bought
enough furniture to fill the place twice
over. The explanation seems to be that he
had sold It again immediately, and as he
appears never to have paid for It the
transaction was a lucrative one for him.
Cabinetmakers, tapestry dealers, furriers,
the Bon Marcho and wine merchants were
all "done"' in the same way, according to
the plaintiffs. The latter on the strength
of the position of the prince supplied him
with JMO worth of Chateau Laflte, Mouton
Rothschild, and other wines of famous
Ucdoc frowtha. - .
Another firm at Rheima kept the prince
In champagne of which he drank 1,000
bottles or so a month. "I have," said the
judge, "heard that Russians are fond of
champagne." The present prince Is evi
dently fonder of drinking wine than of
paying for It. He put In no appearance
or defense at the trial, the warrant against
him could not be served on him and he
was not represented by counsel. The
court cama to the conclusion that the evi
dence against him was sufficient, and In
addition to the sentence, Issued an order
which there seems little ' chance of his
obeying, that he shall repay $StWt to the
wine merchant and a fine of $100 Into court.

That fireworks proclamation goes.
John Hempelman, a Cuming street gro
cer, against whom Sergeant Cook tiled a
complaint Friday on the charge of selling
revolvers and blank catridges to boys, was
released by Police Judge Crawford Satur
day morning. It was found the minimum
fine which could be applied under the city
ordinance was A and because of Hempel
man's evident Ignoiance of the law the
court was lenient. His arrest, however,
has already begun to have a salutary ef
fect on other dealers In llreworks. as sev
eral have called at the police station and
asked what they could sell and what was
forbidden. All who sell revolvers and fire
crackers lieynnd the legal limit ill size, or
toy cannons for shootit.lt shotgun car
tridges, will be prosecuted. The danger In
allowing boys to carry revolvers was
demonstrated by the case of the Postal Tel
egraph messenger, to whom Hempelman
sold a 22-callhr pistol. The boy took the
weapon to 'the office, loaded It with ball
cartridges and commenced flourishing It
about recklessly. Accidentally it snapped
and a serious accident was prevented only
by the fact that the cartridge waa defec
tive and was not discharged.
Captain Mostyn, acting chief of police,
says all Indications point to a "sane" and
quiet Fourth.
Excepting the Hempelman Incident no
complaints have lieen filed and there has
been very little premature shooting. On
the Fourth both patrol wagons will be kept
hitched and In readiness at the station In
order to properly handle the possible excitement.
HORACE PLUNKETT AT HOME
Noted Irishman, Itetlred from Ofllee,
lavlted to Make Onuiha
Ilia Home.
Sir Horace Plunkett of Ireland is deeply
Interested In tie welfare of Omaha and the
west and has shown his faith In both by
making large Investments in property and
Improving what he owns. A frequent vis
itor to this country, lie has made many
friends who admire both his enterprise
and his devotion to the betterment of his
native land.
For many years past, under the premier
ship of Art bar Balfour, Mr. Plunkett has
held the pout of vice president of the De
partment of Agriculture of Ireland. The
return of the ligeral party to power last
year made Mr. Plunkett'a tenure of office
precarious. "To the victors belong the
spoils" is a political polity as deeply
rooted In Great Britain as In the United
States. His retirement from the office
was delayed until last May because a
successor satisfactory to the factions could
not be found,
'Anticipating his release from official
cares, General Manderson wrote to Sir
Horace, suggesting there was plenty of
room for his activities on this side of the
water and expressing the hope that he
might make Omaha his home.
Replying to General Manderson's letter,
Sir Horace, under date of May 21, writes:
"I am glad to know that you are. Inter
ested In my work and alms. The machine
has Interrupted my work and captured
my workshop, but although the national
ist representatives In Parliament In alli
ance with the biggest party majority ever
returned at a British election, have ousted
me, I don't think they have done any good
either to themselves or their allies. They
have aroused a strong public feeling In
favor of my Ideals, and I believe my
retirement from office Is the best piece of
luck I have ever had. But time will be
required to prove the truth or falsity of
this view. One thing I can say for certain,
I badly needed a rest. ,
"I should grestly like to go and work In
the United States. I know I have some
Ideas which find favor with American
thinkers on social and economic problems,
but my first duty Is to my own country.
nose punnc nre needs the help of men
who don't mind being beaten."
Accompanying the letter Is a clipping
from the London Dally Mail of April 22,
in which a correspondent, undor the pen
name "Hlbernlcus." details the work
planned and put in operation by Sir Horace,
and the reasons why the Irish nationalist
party demanded and secured his political
scalp. The writer says, In part:
"Sir Horace Plunkett belongs altogether
to the category of men who "do things."
The whole Impulse of his mind and charac
ter Is towards constructive work based
upon reasoned principles. He Is the one
living Irishman, It has been said with per
fect truth, who has left Ineffaceable ma
terlal applications of his Ideas In every
nook and corner of Ireland.
"It was he who first perceived the possi
bilities and the necessity of agricultural co
operation In Ireland. The whole movement
sprang from bis brain, was fostered by his
enthusiasm, and organized by bis directing
ability. The no odd co-operative societies,
I with their 90,000 members representing
some 400.000 people and their turnover of
nearly 2.000,000 a year, are the vlslbl
vinnicanon or nis ideas. And what I may
call their Invisible vindication the great
moral and social influence of the co-op
eratlve movement In bringing men of all
classes, creeds, and parties together on a
common platform of constructive efforts. In
preaching an practicing the doctrine of
self-help, and in teaching the peasant con
fidence In himself and bis neighbors, thrift
responsibility and business like habits has
had a value which those who know Ireland
best will appreciate most." In conclusion,
"Hlbernlcus" asserted that political Jobtery
and political greed are the chief reasons
for depriving Ireland of the services of an
"earnest, zealous and loyal friend."
The Dublin correspondent of the True
Voice of Omaha, In a recent letter referring
OHE DOLLAR DOWN SECURES FOR YOU ANY ARTICLE III THE HOUSE
) to the case, has this to say:
"Sir Horuca
Plunkett has nearly always been In the un
' fortunate position of being either wor
shipped or Jumped upon. By his extreme
I admirers he has been held up almost as
the patron saint of Ireland. By his ex
' treme opponents he has been denounced
! as a hypocritical conspirator. Unprejudiced
, Judges will decline to accept either of these
valuations, and will regard htm as an
averagely well-intentioned man who had
thrown aside many of the narrow views
which most of his coreligionists In Ireland
! cling to, and was honestly trying to got
! according te his lights. The Irish pa,rty
have carried" their point, but It may aerl-
ously be asked, was the game worth the
candle? It Is difficult to see what benefit
la gained by his dismissal, and already
the nationalist attitude towards him has
ben condemned aj needlessly severe. It
certainly baa not erred on the side of
generosity."
