AN ORNAMENT TO SOCIETY.
Let Us Hope That Nine. Gould Knows
Where to Keep Him.

Naples, April 23.-Declaring that he
had been driven almost to desperation,
Prince Helie De Sagan left the hotel
tonight at which he has been staying
and took an apartment on the Corso
Eittorio Ammanuele under the name
of Louis Perigord. He expressed re-
gret at the hardness of the steamer
Frederick De Gross on which Nine.
Anna Gould is a passenger. Although
due today. the vessel will not arrive
here until o'clock tomorrow morning.
The steamers arrival. he said, would
mean protection from being victim
lied by damn exporters of two hemis-
pkeres."
The prince has engaged a magnifi-
cent apartment dating from Friday at
Bertolinis Palace hotel which domi-
mates Naples and from which splen-
did view of the gulf and Mount Vesu-
wins may be had. 1t is presumed tina.
the apartment has been engaged for

port by some such body as the hydro

may be possible in the few remaining
weeks of TIE present session. the project

Before the development of tele-
graphs and communications an am
bassador may have been a person of
great Importance and responsibility.
but now that he is little more than a
glorified clerk, it is ridiculous to pay
him like a medieval prince. The
practical usefulness of diplomatic
missions may be fairly gagged by the
fact that out of e67.s79 expended upon
our diplomatic service in China. only
G25 could be spared for the relief of
distressed British subjects. Twelve
thousand, six hundred and seven
pounds seem also to be an excessive
sum to spend every year upon the
childish pastime of heraldry.-John
