Discomfort still exists y official circles
in Bulgaria over the fact that Prince
Ferdinand, ignoring the claims of the an
Client nobility OF the country, continues
{ in the highest positions In the court repre-
sentatives of the French families who ac-
companied him to 5BulgariaSwhen, in 1881,
he was called to the throne. 81
When the Prince arrived here he had
little material from which to chose his
personal ad visers and court of1cals. " But
he was not without resources Although
q Germa n, his mot her is Princess Clemen-
tine. the youngest daughter OF Louis
Philippe, and he was reared IN Hungar
where he necessarily acquired large
acquaintance with Hungarian MOBILES.
When therefore he came to Bulgaria to
take his new throne he was accompanied
by staff OF old French aristocrats. who
were to form his court and accustom the
'Bulgarians little inclined to respect for
monarch, favorably3 to the new regime.
81 Bit 50 far as regards the external signs
OF aristocracy or position, there is as
little ofit about the court Of Prince F'erdi-
.nand as there is in a private house Of
high social standing. This is especially
the case since the death of the Princess
Marie Louise.
Still the way in which the etiquette Of
this royal private house rules is very

rise to no little uneasiness In nj ghs Official

Nearly twenty Years a go the RUSSIAN
government recognized the enormous ~.
Vantage possessed by women over men as
diplomatic agents In Oriental countries.
While&they alone obtain admission Into
the families OF Moslenl or Buddhist
statesmen and officials. and thus often
acquire Information OF immense value to
the Russian government, many instances e
have occurred In which women ~ere a. DIG

Oriental soyereigns and statesmen than
would have been possible for men. 6sS&

were arranged at st. Petersburg,3in which

crnesscs who were willing to accept q p

Be- Unfortunatcly the great majority .or
women students in Russia are ard ent LID

Russian Liberals, a reform in the govern

Withsthis end in view the Russian For-

II appears that in several cases impor-
tant 'of1cial' documents which the fair

obtained by them, had, by their own con-

A DIFFERENCE IN CITIES.

There is a vast difference in cities.
Take Owensboro, Ky, for instance,
There ia not better paved or . better
lighted city in the country. II is not
near so large as Paducah, but it has
double the street lights, and has some
of the finest asphalt streets-block
after bloch of them-to be found any
where. This shows civic pride. II,
shows Official energy and progress
public spiritedness of which any city
could well feel proud. But how is it
with Paducah? Nothing doing. H.
stead of wanting TO build up and i'm
prove and progress, city Officials here
want to hold back. They are never
quite ready to make any improve
ment. They never have been, OF Pa.
ducsh would today have miles Of brick
or asphalt streets, and enough hight
at night to prevent people running
over themselves in the dark.
AS to private enterprise in Owens
boro, however, that is another
matter. There seems to be little
there. That city is continually
wrangling with the water company,
the street car company and other
public utilities. The water company
and the city have been engaged in one
continuous lawsuit for the past
several years and are still at it, with
the water company on top. The street
car company few years ago refused
60 build the proper kind of tracks
when streets we're being reconstruct
ed because it cost a little money and
it didn't want to spend it, and the
council has Just passed an ordinance
recurring the tracks made right,
which will cost the company about
$50. 90, where it would have cost
comparatively little had it been done
AT tno proper P
All this, it seems, is because the
men who run private corporations
that depend on public patronage do
not display the proper spirit of enter
prise. The water company for years
gave bad service at exorbitant rates,
and finally brought public wrath down
on its head. 1t is claimed it has not
furnished adequate ire pressure since
1878. The electric lights furnished to
private houses were so bad that the
city installed a plant and itself en-
tered the business, which pays more
than the expense of running the en-
