COMEDY HERO IN REAL LIFE Monetenegria Prince One Freaks of Royalty. of the IKSHRED THE "MERRY WIDOW" Daallo alcaldes Hla Intention of At tending; the Weddlngt of Miss Elklne- and the Dak, of Abrnasl. VIENNA. x June 6.-(8pectl.)-Prince Danllo, beloved In the gay world of Paris and 'Rome, reputed hero of that popular musical comedy, "The Merry Widow," and heir to the throne of Montenegro. Is plan ning, I hear, to attend the wedding of Miss Elklns and the duke of the Abrustl, should the ceremony take place in Wash ington. Another report says that he will visit London during the summer, and It Is probable that these are part of the same plan and that both the English metropolis and the United State will see thl In teresting royal prince tn the near future. The picture of the probable future ruler of the little Balkan kingdom dished up to you In the United States in "The Merry Widow" Is, of course, a reminiscence of his more youthful days when he was a high roller In Paris and Rome. He Is no longer the open-handed spender that his musical comedy prototype makes him out to be. His marrisge to Princess Jutta of Mecklen burg cousin of the princess of Wales has toned him down to a considerable degree. His name has been forgotten at "Maxim's" and other swagger restaurants in Pails, except by a few of the older set who de light to recall the escapade of this scion of royalty. His brother-in-law, the king of Italy, haa almost forgiven a certain mem orable visit to Rome of the Montenegrin "hopeful" some years ago. On that oc casion the Italian ruler was compelled to refuse In no uncertain manner the request of the prince for an advance of money to pay for the red point with which he was bedabbling the city. It Is ald that hy King Emmanuel's orders the prince's hag gage was packed and ha was bundled across the border to avoid a scandal. Jewels Back tn Jeweler. Tet there la one person In Paris who Is not likely to forget the prince and his visits as long as he lives. He Is the proprie tor of a certain Jewelry establishment In the French capital, who on one of the prince's visits, supplied him with diamonds and other precious stones to the value of many thousand dollars. These in due OMirse of time found their way to the corsages of popular actresses of the Psrla music hall stage, but the prince, who was never blest with an abundance of money and always lived far beyond hit means, was never sbie to pay for them. When demands for a settlement became pressing the royal cus tomer Went around and collected the Jewels and returned them to the store in a dam aged' state. One well confirmed story of Prince Danllo that will not down does not do him much credit. It la said that he became Intensely enamoured of one of the moat beautiful women in Montenegro, the wlfo of a man named Bharko Kaludcherovltch. ' The lat ter suspected his wife of an Intrigue with the , crown prince and watched her move meats. One day he caught the pair In compromising . circumstances and made such a fuss that the prince tecame fearful of violence. At an early opportunity he had the husband arrested and Incarcer ated In the political prison. He was. never liberated though that waa twelve - year ago. Four years later he went msd and has been a raving lunatlo ever since. The prince cast the woman off,' as might have been expected, when he tired of her. Quarrels of - Brothers. psnllo Is at continual loggerheads with his younger brother. Prince Mlrko - of whose superior personal chatms he is in tensely Jealous. The latter Is tha handsom est prince in Europe, and Is much more robust and popular than his older brother. The quarrela of the two brothers sre said to have come to a climax In 1903, when they fought a duel with pistols, neither of them being injured. AS Danllo is childless up to the present time, Prince Mlrko would succeed him a heir should anything happen to the older brother. Mlrko, has also been mentioned as the possible successor of King Peter of Servla, whose brother-in-law he is. Prince George, the helt to the Servian throne. who has sn ungovernable temper, has al ready ahot several persons who were In at tendance upon him, and Is exceedingly un popular with the people of the little k'ng- dom. 1 The royal family of Montenegro has been called the "luckiest royal family In the world." It is presided over by Prince Nicho las, than whom there is no mors striking personality In the whole of Europe. Al though fifty years ago, the family were tri bal chiefs, yet today, one daughter of Prince Nicholas Is queen of Italy; another Is a grand duchess of Russia, married to a man who may some day he csar; while yst another Is the wife of Prince Francis Joseph of BatUnberg. and still another, who la dead, married Peter I of Servla be fore he ascended the throne. Yet the little Kingaom can iosii population oi only 300,000 and In point of area is th smallest In Europe. J. PIERP. DID NOT LOSE CHILD Telegram- Sent Morgan is Taken la Dead Earnest by tha Ooerator.

CONQUERING TUBERCULOSIS Ravages of tho White Plagne Appear to Be Grontly Dlntln ished. the medical department of the Engltah Local Government board on certain aspects of the tuberculosis question Is th outcome of Investigation prosecuted during; tho last rive years under the supervision or Dr. T.

In on the other hand, al though the population had greatly In creased, tuberculosis destroyed only IS.T4 11-ves, a mortality equal to only ir.8 for sach 10,000 persons then In existence. A the mortality resulting from consumption In 1908 was about equal to the decrease ob served In the preceding thirty years It fol lows thst th disease will dlsear to tally thirty years heneo, provided the de crease In the number of deaths shall con tinue at the aamo rate. Buch continuance, of course, cannot be assumed. Between los and 108 there was no charge In tho mortality resulting from tuberculosis. What is the cause of the amnntonea ravages of ermsumpttdn? It cannot be arrtbMl entirely, or even mainly, to th discovery of the tubercle bncltlua and the subsequent legislation Intenaefl to prevent the ssle of meat and milk derived from tuberculous csttle.
