Is years ago and had not been back

Pensacola since I was last here"

HIGH COST? SURE
TROLLEYWIREBnOKE

It is not known whether or not the
high cost of living had anything to
do with it, but the trolley of the street
car line on the corner of Palafox and
Gadsden street suddenly went broke
a little after o'clock yesterday aft
ernoon and stayed broke for about
two hours. When the trolley went
broke the North Hill cars didn't have
anything to run on, and consequent
ly that part of the car system was at
a dead stop until the trolley received
assistance from the repair force of
the Pensacola Electric company
that furnished the cars current" ex-
penses. Said current" expenses
having been received, everything was
all right again.

WASHINGTON TO
WELCOME ABRUZZI

Washington, D. c., May Hay
ing scarcely recovered from the
into which the city
was plunged by the recent visit of
General Joffre, Arthur J. BalfOur,
NJ. Viviani and other world notables,
Washington again in eager expect
ancy is awaiting the arrival Of
guest of worldwide fame from across
the water, and a royal guest to boot.
The di stinguished visitor now await
ed is Prince Luigi, duke of the
Abruzzi. This royal parsonage, for
he is the king of Italy's cousin, and
his own father was once king of
Spain, is coming over at the head of
an Italian mission having for its OBJ
ject the same purpose accomplished
by the recent delegates from England
and France, namely, the perfection
of arrangements for cooperation be-
tween the United States and her al
lies in the war, and the securing of
an American loan for Italy.
Entertaining royal and other dis
tinguished visitors from abroad has
become such a matter of course with
Washington that the visit of the
Duke of the Abruzzi would not cause
a ripple on the social surface-were
it not for the fact that the visitor
is the Duke of Abruzzi. For Wash
ington and the Duke are old friends
and are bound together by pleasing
memories of the visits paid by the
Duke to this city in days gone by.
Washington remembers the Duke as
a thoroughly good fellow, with an
abundance of savoir faire, an adYen-
turer in the highest sense of the
word, and, in short, an Italian edi-
ton of the American rough rider,
who felt in highly congenial COM
pany when he sat at the Roosevelt
fireside on the occasion of his pre-
vious visits to rs country.
And who has forgotten the roman
tic story of how the Duke of the
Abuzzi wooed the then Miss Kath-
crime Elkins, daughter of the late
Sc nator Elkins of West Virginia, and
I one of the bellies of Washington. For
a space of several years the rumors
| of an engagement between Mis- FL
kins and the Italian duke occupied
a prominent place in the American
press. According to the stories
printed at the time the Duke tried in
vain to obtain the consent of his royal
relatives to his marriage with Miss
Elkins. The family remained obdu-
rate. Without their consent Miss
Elkins could not become the Duchess
of the Abruzzi, and it was equally
! certain that a ''left-handed" marri-
age was out of the question in the
case of the high-spirlted American
| girl. And thus the international ro-
! nance was shattered The Duke be-
took himself to the end of the earth
! on trip of exploration, and Miss
Elkins, after the lapse Of some years,
! became the wife of "BiIly" Hit.
! Quite aside from this romance,
| however, the Duke of the Abruzzi has
many substantial claims to fame, for
| he has distinguished himself in both
the fields of exploration and science.
In 1909 he completed a series of
! climbs and observations in the Him
| alayas which established conclusively
| the third highest mountain in the
! world, Broad Peak. which towers to
a height of 27.132 feet. In addition,
the Duke has to his credit exploits in
| the Arctic and in equatorial Africa.

SERVICE
SUNDAY NIGHT
FIRST BAPTIST

All local and visiting Pythians are
requested to meet at the Castle Hall
on East Intendencia street, Sunday
night, from which point they will
march in a body at 7:45 o'clock sharp
to tie First Baptist church, where a
special service has been arranged for
the occasion by Rev. J. A. Anslay.
The arrangements have been COM
pleted in detail, and the stereopticon
views are hand-painted from life
posings by one of the Chicago Py-

any views ever witnessed here.
