Queen Of Spain
Is Not Popular
Among Subjects

PARIS, March 28.-While King Al
phonso Of Spain is said TO be more in
love with his wife than ever, Queen
Victoria's popularity among the Spanish
people is on the wane.
They accuse her Of being too frivolous,
too unconventional, and too fond Of
snowy dresses. SociaIistic papers have
pointed out that while thou
sands of men. women and children in
Spain are out Of work and starving, the
Queen often appears in public literally
covered with diamonds. and this has Gre
ated much I'll feeling.
At court the Queen has never been
popular. because she absolutely refuses
to be followed by one or more duennas
wherever she goes, and this made the
ladies Of the aTistocTacy, who draw hlgh
salaries as duennas. a position whlcn IS
also considered q. high social honor
quite angry.
They first tried TO get the sympathy
of the King, but soon found out that,
according 70 his view, anything the
Queen did was above criticism, and they
then began q real war against the queen
inside her own palace. not even hesitat-
ing to supply the Madrid newspapers
with piquant stories rejecting upon the
morals Of Queen Victoria.

WHO KILLED
TO Be ACQUITTED

PARIS, March 2S.-For shooting Ga
briele Pitteri, head waiter OF a fash
ionabIe restaurant at Milan, Count
Vitale-Bertrand, a boy Of sixteen. is
awaiting his trial, which undoubtedly
viii end with his acquittal
The incident is the scandal Of the
day in Milan, by reason Of the high
station Of a lazy who is implicated.
The Contessa Vitale-Bertrand, an ex-
tremelv beautiful lady belonging to the
Lombard aristOCraCy. was left a widow
z few years ago. Her husband inserted
IN his will a clause to the effect that
she should enjoy his fortune only so
long as she remained unmarried In
the event Of her taking a second hus-
band the property was TO pass abso-
lutely to their two children, one of
whom, the son. IS now sixteen years
old, the daughter being eighteen.
But the countess was attracted by
Guido Pitteri, then a head waiter, an
extremely good-looking man. At
length she married him, but only went
through the religious ceremony. and
thus retained her hold on the property
left by her first husband. as the re-
1igIous marriage has no civil effect.
Two children were the fruit Of this
Inion. But the menage IN recent times
was disturbed by serious events. Pit
teri became hopeIessIy enamoured with
the daughter Of the countess. and per-
secuted her continually with his pro-
testations Of love. a few days ago
the countess surprised Pitteri while he
was making amorous declarations to
the girl, whereupon. summoning the
servants, she had him driven from
the houss
Pitteri was furious. and swore that
he would return and have his revenge
by killing the countess. Terrified bv
his threats. the lady appealed to the
'police- But the young count decided
to take the law into his own hands.
and generally speaking, people are
sympathizing with the youthful homi-
eide.
