cess Helene of Montenegro, her be-
trothed husband. the crown prince OF
Naples, and the members of the prince
ly family OF Montenegro who are to De
present at the marriage, arrived here
today, escorted by q squadron of Itai-
ian warships. The royal yacht expert
enced very bad weather while crossing
the Adriatic and nearly all the travel
ers were seasick throughout the pass
age. The prince and princess were
greeted warmly on landing. a vast con
course of Anatolans and others who had
arrived in the town, crowded it TO its
utmost capacity.
The local attempts at decoration were
universal, but ludicrous. They were
made in response TO the following mu-
nicipal edict, which was posted on the
walls of the principal thoroughfares:
Citizens of Bari: 1t IS your duty to
-, I -I.r,
Used and tatersd washing linen must
be taken away from the windows.
Little children must no longer run
naked in the streets.
Goats, cows, hens and drunken men
must be kept at a proper distance.

be enptied into the streets.

LET these things be done and our cit
liens will prove themselves worthy OF
their ancestors and our city will be duly
garnished for greeting the royal bri-
gade."
The prince Of Naples remained on
board the Savoia, but Princess Helene,
escorted by the duke of Genoa, the rep
resentative of King Humbert, landed a.
20 a. m, and in a procession of forty
enc carriages with soldiers lining the
route, proceeded, in a dismal rain, to the
Church of St. Nicholas. She was met
at the door of the church by the clergy
with great ceremony. The princess then
formally professed the Roman Catholic
faith and afterwards went UP the nave
and heard mass celebrated, while ar
tillery salutes were fired in her honor.
After the ceremonies of the change Of
faith had been completed, the princess
returned on board the royal yacht.
