To Be Given a Magnificent
 Reception in Ireland
DUBLIN IS CHANGING
Hope to Rival New York's Fifth Ave nue-Ireland to Copy American
 Methods of Agriculture. Are After Ideas
Rx THOMAS EMMETT

Dublin, June Special )-Dublin hopes soon to welcome the young Prince of
 Wales and his royal highness will be given
 a magnificent reception wherever he goes in Ireland. It is expected that his young
 CT brother will come with him, and there by hangs a tale which is tearing the
 Irish society Into shreds It is under
 stood that King George is discussing
 with his intimates in the cabinet the
 question whether 1t would not be well to l revive interest In the dynasty by creat- ! ing a prince of Ireland, the title to be borne by the second son of each succeed ing monarch, and to be held by such son after a change of reign until the next in line attains certain age.
 The idea is to sgnalize the passing of the home rule bill and the giving of the 1 royal assent by some act which shall show the personal interest of the sover-
 eign in his Irish subjects and bring the
 court at Cork Hill up to standard of real royalty. The Welsh got their own special prince as a sop for the extinction
 of owen Glendower. It was England's
 principal pledge of peace between the hill Celts of Wales and border warriors It proved a most excellent bargain. and no title in the roll of British nobility blazons with more brilliant associations than those of "Ich Dien'' CT serve'), the motto plucked by the warlike Edward with the three plumes snatched from his
 Poctiers captive, John, the blind King of Bohemia. The suggested new line of
 Princes of Ireland would naturally have to look to more placid fields for their future triumphs. sitting though they might in the chair once adorned by Silken
 Thomas. the Prince of Leinster, whose
 life may be glanced at from varying an
 gles.
 If the idea Is carried out it is hardly likely to please everybody The vicerega coronet would be removed from the ann bitions of many noble peers and peer
 esses. It would be a loss hard to bear; particularly now, when tho new Dublin is attracting so many high hopes-when the Irish lord lieutenant and his lady will be people of the most potential import ance-if the offices are not abolished
 So society among the "eligibles'' is hos tile to the proposition, while the lesser mo- bility and commoners are delighted with it. Both sides have to be considered, of course, yet if the King decides that 1t would be a polite move likely to receive popular support, interested intrigue is not calculated to move him from his purpose.

Everywhere one goes in Dublin evil dences are piling up. testifying to the new order of things. Irish-Americans who have made fortunes in the Ireland be- yond, the seas's are buying the ,best. sites along Leinster Lawn and the old squares of Dublins famous fashionable center. We hope soon to rival New York's Fifth avenue, just as Sackvile street in many respects declines to play second fiddle 10 ay-foreshortened, of course Dub lin's Main street Is really marvel for beauty. One cannot appreciate its con- tinuous central oases of magnificent stat uary until surfeted by other cities. There
 is a splendid ground work here for wealth and good taste to fashion me tropols which should make the world wonder. To be sure. you dare not say that in Dublin, where the people will tell you there is no place like it in the wide. wide world.

fear Of summary action at the hands

to get the rebel out of the country
