companies have asked for time to allow
the experts to go over the properties be-

companies surprised the mayor and his
special counsel by telling them that they
were perfectly ready to get out. There
are many legal bubbles whereby they
could delay proceedings but they assured
him these would be waived. The city
puts forward these propositions as a
basis of negotiation:

this spring in Nebraska Involving the

in that state. When the Nemaha county

part of his taxable wealth an item Of

for Nemaha county citizens to be pos

A Cross Englishnlan

Mr.. W. H. McCrossland, an 5unre-
formed Englishman' who a few years
ago wrote book to show how much he
detested the Scotch, has written an
other and this one is about the Irish.
The curious thing about it is that he
lays all the woes Of Ireland to the
Scotch. "When you see number of
drunken persons in Ireland you may
safely assume they are Orangemen
and of Scotch descent. - Scotchmer,
he says, are a hectoring, staggering,
dull-witted, bandy-legged, pla'ntigrade
folk * 81 J.. . !. i. :. tsasSSs =. !
Ever since the days Of James the
sixth of Scotland and first, Of England,
who earned the title of the "wisest
fool in Europe,'' there has been an
English prejudice against Scotchmen.
The reason Of it's implantation was. that
James was followed to London when he
succeeded Queen Elizabeth by a crowd
Of hungry Scotch mobiles. The Scotch
having lost their own took possession Of
the English court, and having Scotch
king to back them, were able
to do it. Scotchmen have very gen
orally ruled the empire since and done
it very we'll. Great Britain has ,devel-
oped quite creditably under Scotch
domination. Scotchmen have supplied
England not only with her rulers but
with her literature, her philosophy and
her whisky. " " h.
Whenever England had a big prob
lem on hand it took Scotch states
man to solve it and an Irish soldier to
do the work. The English supplied the
money and afterward employed histo.
rians to write it up. as something they
had done themselves, But knowing
very well they had not done it, the
English hated the Irish and despised
the Scotch. ,.'.. e.. "a, ;. :sss

ALFONSO'S VISIT
TO PARIS
tScripps Newa Association ,

PARIS, May 29.-Elaborate ar
rangements have been completed for
the welcoming here of King Alfonso
tomorrow. They are on scale of
truly royal splendor. The fetes will
follow the style of those held at the
time Of the visit to Paris of the
car and will include a number of
events affording opportunities for
brilliant spectacular effects. Private
residents and shopkeepers have con-
tributed generously towards trans
forming the avenues and boulevards
of the city into masses Of color with
floral arches, Venetian masts and
1oopf6gs of flowers. The decoration
of the streets has been carried out
according to the plans of government
architects
The Spanish squadron accompany
ing King Alfonso is to be met at
consisting of Is warships, including
the finest and largest battleships and
cruisers of the French northern
squadron.
Despite the international import
ance of King Alfonso's visit and the
political and commercial benefits ex-
pected to result from it directly or
indirectly, the French government
will doubtless feel relieved when the
stay of the youthful ruler In Paris
is concluded and he has taken his
departure for England. Owing to AL
fonso's youth and his known propen-
sity for cutting up capers," it is
frankly limited that those intrusted
with his entertainment and likewise
with his safety are worried lest they
shall be unable to keep him within
bounds. That the queen mother of
Spain shares this same feeling of
uneasiness is shown by her letter to
President Loubet commencing her
son to his care and asking that he
be we'll cared for during his stay in
the gay French capital. According to
stories that have come from Madrid
from time to time the young king
has fondness for ''incog" visits to
out of the way places and it is feared
that he will not be satisfied to stick
closely to the routine program of re-
ceptions, reviews. gala performances
and other formal functions mapped
out for his entertainment in Paris.

her brother, Grand Duke Frederic
Francis of Mecklenburg- Schwerin, a
young man of weak and sickly ap-
pearance who seems likely to become
the victim of the hereditary family
complaint of tuberculosis.
In the pew Immediately behind the
bride will sit her mother, Dowagei
Grand Duchess Anastasia of Mecklen-
burg Schwerin, whose reputation is
not freen from blemish. Numerous
gallant adventures are ascribed to
this royal lady, including an elope-
ment with her hairdresser, which is
alleged to have taken place two years
ago.
1t is an open secret that the crown
prince entertains a strong dislike
against his future mother-in-law and
keeping her as distant as possible
from his household after his mar
riage. Under these circumstances
the presence of the Grand Duchess
Anastasia at the wedding will GER
tainly add a piquant feature to the
solemn service.
After the wedding there will be a
great state banquet in the imperial
palace, and the young couple will
leave Berlin toward evening to spend
their honeymoon at Potsdam in the
Marble palace, charmingly situated
on the banks of the Adjoining lake.
After the honeymoon is over the
state residence of the crown prince
and his wife will be the Stadtschloss
at Potsdam. Their country residence
will be Babelsberg castle.
