From the facts set forth in an arti-
Gle on the first page of this issue there
is prospect of a long and costly liti-
CATION, between the town ind Antonio
Costa, the sewer contractor. This
would be unfortunate from every
standpoint, and it would seem that
the matter could be settled by arbi-
tration. Certainly three practical
business men ought to be able to go
over the matter and make recon-
mendatians that both parties could
agree to. Certainly the town should
not be party to an injustice, and
Mr.. Costa could better afford to COM
promise the matter than go into ex-
pensive and long continued contests at
law. &

SONS of state
1t is due. curiously, to physical
defect in his father that Prince Albert
is heir to the throne The Count OF
| Flanders, the father of the prince, is
deaf. Under the Belgium constitution
the crown goes to the Oldest male in
line. Leopold has no sons. The Count
of Flanders, therefore, is the natural
heir, but some years ago he withdrew
in favor of his son, who since then
has taken precedence over the old
count at all state functions. The deaf
ness of the count caused him to give
up the idea OF becoming king In case
he should survive his brother. The
eount is said to be man OF retiring
disposition, very unlike the king.
Princess Elizabeth's pet name is
LISA, and it is predicted that as
queen of Belgium she will be much be-
loved by the people. For some years
after their marriage Prince Albert and
his wife lived In the palace Of the
Count and Countess Of Flanders at
Brussels, but occupied large wing
entirely distinct from the rest Of the
house. They had their own set Of
servants and were free to entertain
on their own account They enter |
tanned many guests and became ex-
ceedingly well liked. Now they have
a new palace of their own. Their
town house is the Marquis d'Assche's
palace, which was occupied by Bellamy
Storer when the Ohioan was minister
to Belgium.
Princess Is q Doctor.
Princess Elizabeth is reputed to be
the most versatile of all European wo-
men Of royalty. She is a graduate
physician, having taken her M. D. de-
gree at Leipzig not long before her
marriage. The study of medicine has
been her hobby, and she began at the
age of sixteen. The princess continues
her medical studies, keeping up with
all developments. She has written and |
published several books on scientific |
subjects. .s
The future queen is quite methodic-
al. She arises at s O'Clock and after
breakfast devotes herself to literary
work until 1890 Then she usually
takes an automobile ride with her hus-
band. After luncheon she spends an /
hour or two in the nursery with little
Prince Leopold, heir presumptive to.
the throne, and his younger brother
Charles.
The princess, like her husband, is an
enthusiastic automobilist She drives
her car with skill Some country peo- /
pie near Brussels are fond of telling
how once they saw Prince Albert and
Princess Elizabeth alight from their
machine when one of the tires suffered
puncture. They got down in the
dust and repaired the puncture, then
sped along.
The people are grateful to the prin-
cess for having founded the Albert
Elizabeth dispensary in Brussels for
the treatment of poor tuberculosis pa
tents. 1t is monument to the fu
ture king and queen.

slant attendant for so long that one
Of the boxes is named for him. Leo
pold always had a fondness for singers
and dancers, particularly Of the opera
bouffe type. q
Leopold has been at outs with his
three daughters for years. He Is de-
clared to have made sorry mess of
managing family property held in
trust by him, though he has been able
to handle his own millions with Nor
gan+like success. Leopold has been
trustee for the vast estate Of his sister,.
Carlotta, formerly empress of Mexico.
When Emperor Macmillan was ex-
ecuted by the Mexicans his immense
property went to his widow, who be-
came insane from grief over his tragic
end and was placed in an asylum.
Leopold asa manager of Carlotta's
estate has been charged with dissipat-
ing much of the money. 1t has even
been limited that Carlotta has recover
ed her reason, but that the king keeps
her in the asylum SO that he can ex-
plot her income This, however, is
believed to be piece of malicious
gossip.
Giving Away Property.
OF late years the old king, probably
urged by the Nemesis of conscience,
has given to the nation very consid-
cradle part Of his private fortune in
one way and another. Mr.. Stead thinks
Leopold's generosity in this respect is
due to his determination to ALLEVIATE his
wealth from his daughters; but, then,
Mr.. Stead, as the reader may have
discovered, intensely dislikes Leopold.
One Of the-kiHg's gifts to the public
is magnificent pantheon, intended to
honor the illustrious dead of Belgium.
This edifice, located In that part Of
Brussels known as the Namur Gate
quarter, cost about $9,O00,000 and Is
one of the noblest structures in Eu-
rope.
Leopold, despite his personal short
comings and his mishandling Of the
| Kongo, is accounted wise and states
manlike ruler for Belgium. He has
governed his own country so well that
she occupies now place among Eu-
ropean nations to which her Insignia
can't area does not entitIe her. Bel
! GUM is highly respected by her sis
ter nations. Her commerce, too, is
surprisingly large. It Is estimated that
the exports from Belgium every. year
are enough in the aggregate to give
each family In the little kingdom an
| income Of $500.
King Leopold has favored and fos
tered all industries calculated to make
his people richer and happier. There
In may be seen the reason for his per
sonal popularity at home

Prince is Domestic.

Prince Is Domestic.
Prince Albert is said to be an excel
lent family man, which cannot be said
of his royal uncle Leopold. whose rep
utation as to domesticity is not of the
best sort. Albert Is the opposite of
the Old king in many other respects.
If the prince has sowed any consid-
cradle crop Of wild oats the fact is not
generally known. Leopold's crop has
been sown in nearly every capital of
Europe and along the byways as well.
Leopold II. has been called sport"
by many observers, and the term
seems to fit him, He has been ruler
of Belgium since 1865, when he sue
ceeded his father, the first Leopold and
the first king Of the Belgians. In 1880
that little country, which is only a
third as large as Indiana and about
the size of Tom Green county, in
Texas, broke of from the Netherlands
and was recognized at once as i sep
arate Kingdom. Leopold /. was elected
to the monarchy Belgium has con-
gress made up of senate and house
of representatives similar to our own
congress, and the monarchy is con-
stitutional one The kings authority
is not greater than that of the king of
England, which is considerably less
than that of the president of the Unit
ed States.
"Most Absolute Despot."
Nevertheless William 7. Stead, the
British journalist, declared recently
that Leopold "has developed into the
most absolute despot the world has
ever seen" His despotism does not
relate to Belgium, but to the Kongo
Free State, in Africa. This vast coun-
try was placed under his domination
by Henry M. Stanley, the explorer,
who was backed financially by the
king.
Stanley's hope was that the Kongo,
with its twenty millionsof people, would
be developed into a sort of paradise
wherein the Belgian rule would be
heneficent and gentle. That also seems
n have been King Leopold's idea at
hrst, but the cupidity of the monarch
with the long, square cut whiskers and
the long, thin nose overmastered all
other considerations. Instead of being
benevolently assimilated the Kongo
has been diabolically exploited.
Many tales of the cruelty Of Leo
j pold's rule in the Kongo have beer
(, told. Some Of them have been denied
and others have been affirmed. Leo
pold for many years ruled the KongS
practically as an individual asset, ap
parently looking upon it as private
snap. The natives were compelled t
labor in the rubber forests, undel
