Extravaganza Of Queen
Bankrupts Kingdom
AneIie Is Blamed for the Vast
Expenditures of Carlos, Who
Pawned Crown Jewels
SPECIAL CABLE TO THE CALL

oEEIlaL LIABLE III ldE IALL
LISBON, Feb. 3.-Many of the fnan-
cial embarrassm of Carlos. the
murdered king of Portugal. in the last
few years of his reign were laid to
his beautiful and accomplished but ex-
travagant wife. Queen AmelIe. The
king was devoted to her. 1t was the
gossip of court circles that the king
could refuse the queen nothing. She
obtained an early ascendency over him
and urged him into systems of vast ex-
penditures. which in the end brought
the nation almost to the verge of bank
ruptcy.
The jewels of Queen Amelie equaled
in perfection and beauty those of the
queen of the richest kingdom of Eu-
rope. Her entertainments at Lisbon
often excelied in elaborateness OF de-
tail those of any other of the conti-
mental courts There was little sur
prise, therefore. wnen in 1904 1t be-
came known that Carlos had not only
penses by half. but also had been
forced TO pawn the crown Jewels at the
London branch of the RothschiIds for
5000. 600 francs to obtain much needed
ready cash.
Fearing that the king might be led
into further financial indiscretions, the
minister of finance is said 10 have hid
den what was left of the crown jewels.
The jewels pawued in London were af-
terward restored to Carlos through the
efforts Of King Edward.

IT WILL BE COSTLY.

Washington. Dec. THE cost of
taking the next census. as estimated
by Director North In his annual re-
port just issued. will be S12.930. 900.
The director points with pride to
the fact that this sum is but s410,-
600 more than the cost of the cen
sus of 1900. and he says this will be
accomplished lin spite of the enor-
nous growth in the population dur
ing the last decade. "A growth largely
contributed by foreign-born people
who do not speak English, a class
which 1t is very expensive and very
difficult to enumerate. If the work
can be done for this sum. 1t will
be the first time in the history of the
nation, that a census has been taken
and compiled at practically the same
cost as the prior enumeration.
The increase. he says. from decade
to decade heretofore, has been about
so per cent. The enormous saving.
says The director. will be effected by
reason of the existence of the perma-
nent census bureau and the installa-
tion of the bureaus own tabulating
