BRANDEIS STORES NAPLES A REFORMED CITY Also One Where Americans Fight for Their Sights. CHANGES TO COME OVER POOR Bec-a-ar and Merchant Alike Are Be ln Taught to Rn eet the Parae of the Wealthy Toarlat. NAPLES. June 9. Naples reformed! Tf It we-e nut ho rlnm It would .be a ucri'a :. From time lmmeriul the name of thli city has been synonymous with extorllnn In all the varied for.ns krei wits and brazen tempera can rtevl-e. From the begaar In the street to. the reputable merchant the Inhabitant were under sus plclon and with reaaon. The beggar wan an ininuler.t cheat and the merchant never hetiiated to short change one If he got the chance. 1 lit truly the world Improves, and with It Naplea. To one returning after tn absence of only four yearn some of the things seemed Incredible. It began when he left the ship. The boatman accepted an Increase of only M per cent over the tariff with hardly a murmur. In former days lie would have screamed and stormed and nine times out of ten would have got double or treble his due. Then the faechlno who carries the lug gage to the cab. A modest pourbolre over the legal tariff brought forth profuse thanks. And the cabby himself accepted a 25 centime tip over his fare after a three- mile drive without more than showing his teeth with a certain Neapolitan vlclous-ness. Driving to the hotel there was not a single little ragamuffin to turn flip-flaps and cartwheels, the while crying, "Mac cheronl." No Impudent beggars tried al most to climb Into the carriage In pursuit of a copper. The flowers sellers took the flist no as final, and the few crippled beg gars that crouched In shady spots under the walls of gardens seemed actually to be timid. All this seemed like a dream of a dis ordered fancy to those who haven't been In Naples recently, but It ii"" solemn fact. Nap es Is beginning to reform-on the sur face, at any rate. The better element, which has been work ing so long to make the conditions here more palatable to the tourist, is beginning to see the results of Its work, which la gan ten or fifteen years ago. The be, -gain are being gatherei In and sent to the workhouses. The vicious cabbies are rapidly coming under the control of the city.

V . mode of transit 30 centimes for the first kilometer and 10 for each that follows Is being introduced rapidly. These rates, we are told, are only temporary, but have been made with the purpose of putting out of business a good proportion of the cabs here. Naples has too many cabs. How the cabmen manage to maintain their horses and cabs and still make a living is one of the mysteries of this great cl)y, where it Is a mystery how a majortfy of the people live. One of those marvellous little Neapolitan horses which seem never to tire and must be in the last stages of senile decay not to show spirit costs in the neighborhood of 500 lire. The carriage and harness cost about 750 lire, making an Initial outlay not of 1250, but of 1,230 lire, a very different thing. The upkeep of the horse costs little. He will eat anything a goat will, and then some. It's a great fete day if he gets a meal of corn and oats. Bran is his staple, with green stuff of any kind as dessert. Yet on this meagre fare with any sort of attention he looks sleek and well fed and will do the. work of two ordinary horses such as one sees In New Tork, and this on stone flagged pavements which seem specially devised to knock to pieces a horse's legs. I.lttle Work for Tabby. Each cabman has his station, and unless he chances to pick up a passenger in the street he never has a return fare. At his station he must take his turn with the others and It Is no uncommon thing for him to wait half a day for a fare which may come possibly to 2 lire. If through the year a cabby outside of those who have favored locations nets t lire a day ho bs doing veil. On this ho must keep hlm- elf and his family, which is sure to be large. , What wonder, then. If he tries to get more than his legal fare? Once In a while one meets a cabby in New York who is not averse to gctllns more out of his pRsteriger than the law allows and It has evtn been suspected thnt some of the taxi meters In New York are not as accurate as they are supposed to be. Yet how few Americans at home stand up on their hind legs and kick for their rights! But it is different here. There is a tradi tion in America, sedulously fostered by our friends the Englirh, that the traveling American has spoiled the continent. So huge are his tips, so munificent is hlJ largesse, that he has made It Impossible for the native to get along In the economi cal ways f the r't. Perhaps this is true In certain hotels in London, Paris and P.crlln. but a mighty change cornea over him by the time he strikes Iialy in general and Naples In particular. Iiown In this part of the world the American has the reputation of being the closest proposition that comes here, not excepting even the Hermans, who now snarm over the country In tne spring. The Fiench are said to be the most generous, then the Italians, then the English, with the Germans and Americans running neck and neck for the last place. The average American, be be rich or poor, comes to Naples with the fixed conviction that he will be cheated and swindled at every turn. He sets his Jaws hard, never lets the instructions on tips In Baedeker out of his sight und prepares to do battle with everybody. Spirit of Some Travelers. Jt's a sight for gods and men to see an American who in his own free land, especially if that happens to be New York, is bled more for tips in a day than he ts In Naplea in a week stand up for his rights and squabble a quarter ot an hour over a tip of 10 centimes. The other day a party of prosperous looking men nearly lost the Sorrento boat because they objected to paying the boatman an additional fee of 2 cents each for the luggage which they were taking with them, each of them Having at least two suit cases or kit bags, and it's dollars to doughnuts that the only thing they will remember of their trip to Capri and Sorrento will be that 2 cents each, which the gendarme said was legal even If Baedeker made no mention of it Poor devils of Neapolitans, they are so miserably poor and wretched. The marvel is that they are not all rascals. as a good many of them undoubtedly are. It would seem aa if any means were fair whereby they might add a few cents to their daily income, and It is al ways a matter of cents. One has only to wander aimlessly through .the poor parts of the city. Into damp, narrow streets and courts where the sun never shines, where the people live in filth and Bqualor, to realize how terribly real the poverty of the city Is. With the peasant in the country districts who earn from 15 to 20 cents a day work ing from dawn to dusk it is bad, but they at least have fresh air and grjw strong and sturdy, especially the women. But the poor in the city live in an en vironment which has to be seen to be believed. And yet they are cheery under the worst conditions! That Is the greatest wonder of all. One does not see the sodden, mo robe and gloomy faces so common in the poor quarters of Berlin, Paris and the large English cities. Wicked faces one sees, plenty of them, but everywhere there Is the vivacity, even gayety, which distinguishes the Neapolitan from all the other Italians. ... ' . Mreund Visit Needed. Perhaps a second visit to Naples Is necessary If one wants to see the city In Its true aspect. By that time one Is likely to have reached the point where he de cides It Is better to give an extra 10 or 15 centimes and get a smiling "grazle slgnor" than to stand on his rights and get now a scowl, in other times a tongue lash ing, and perhaps the latent threat of a knife. For with all its vice, its dirt, its squalor. Its noisy streets, its shrieking populace and the constant clangor of its thin voi?ed church btlls Naples is one of the beauty spots of the world. Yet It has never done much for man. Yet It has always been fought for. Greek, Carthaginian, Roman, Ooth, Norman. 8aracen, Frenchman, Spaniard and Italian have shed blood to possess It. Through all the centuries it has laid lastly at the foot of its green hills, drenched with the white, hot Italian sun, looking at the blue bay with its Jewels of Capri. Ischla and Proclda, and with Vesu vius ever threatening from the side. Naples Is now as It has always been, pecu liarly the playground of the tourist who stops over a few days to see its beauty and if the present reforms take from a stay here some of the zest which charac terized it in the past they will certainly add to the comfort of the traveler and he reputation of the city. BLOTS ON THE SOCIAL HORIZON Millionaire Whole Matrimonial Es capades Put a Smell Aroand the World. The two family names which among foreigners are synonymous with enormous American fortunes are those of the Goulds and the Vanderbllts. Certain members of those families, by sober-minded attention to business and by ureful and practical philanthropy, have abundantly deserved and have accordingly received the respect and esteem of the public. They have not had their heads turned by their almost Incal culable riches They have acted in public and In private Just like "common or garden" mortals; they have not courted publicity; they have regulated their lives according to the Ten Commandments, and have reflected credit on themselves and done much to dignify the family name in the general estimation. But there are other memhers of these families who have lately been conspicu ously In the public eye, not for any notable service rendered to humanity, but merely for the messes they have made of their matrimonial alliances. Alfred Vanderbilt has Incurred the cordial disfavor of court circle's in Great Britain, In connection with the Ruiz case, and It now appears that Elsie French, to whom he was married Janpuary 11, 1901, was abundantly JustifleJ In securing a divorce from him. William K. Vanderbilt, Jr., and his wife are not on speaking terms because of the Intimate friendship of the husband for an opera singer. Consuelo Vanderbilt, duchess of Marlborough, one of the finest reprenta tives abroad of the best traditions of Amer ican womanhood, Is finding a kind of olace for the duke's unfaithfulness In ef forts for the amelioration of the lot of the working classes. Her father. William K. Vanderbilt, sr., could only agree to dis aifree with his former wife, who Is now Mrs. O. II. P. Belmont. As for the Goulds, the story of the strug gle between Anna Gould and her husband, the count de Castellane, for the possession of their children, and her infatuation for Helle de Sagan. dragged Its slow length through the courts and the newspapers, only to be superseded by the narrative now current of the wedded Infelicity of Howard Gould and Katharine Clemmons. The author of "How to Be Happy Though Married" ought to write a book explaining "How to Slay Married Though a Millionaire." It seems as though the people who have everything they want are those among whom we find the largest number of rases of vhronlc dissatisfaction. Having nothing else to do nothing unseen to see nowhere unvlslted to go they fall to quarreling with one another to kill time. Getting a divorce, "establishing a resl- dence," conferring with lawyers and hiring detectives becomes an engrossing occupa tion in lieu of any better business. The scriptural prescription that a man must earn his bread In the sweat of his brow, is imon? the eternal verities that survive the assaults of the higher criti cism. The only way to be happy Is not to hunt In highways and byways for ephem eral amusement, but to keep at work. It Is not the working members of our million aire families it is the cosmopolitan Idlers who are responsible for the blots upon the 'scutcheons of their families; for bringing into disrepute otherwise honorable names.--Philadelphia Ledger.
