ON CE EX|LED FAMILY
IS NOW HON ORtD

The Significance of press dispatches
stating that President Pessoa. of Bra
III. has signed decree revoking the
edict which banished former Emper-
or Dom Pedro III and all his relatives
is explained in a communication TO
the National Graphic society by Har-
riet Chalmers Adams, as follows:
There is a movement under way to
build a national pantheon in Rio de
Janero and bring to it at the time of
the 1922 centenary the remains of
Brazil's historical personages, including
Joao VI. Pedro l, Pedro IL, and his
consort. To this the Portuguese gov
ernment will probably consent and Il
is to be hoped that Princess Isabel
too, will agree. Dom Pedro ii should
return with honor to the land of his
birth. The difficulty hitherto lay in
the fact that neither the princess nor
her sons were permitted to enter the
Republic of Brazil and could no longer
visit the family tomb
Dom Pedro III died in Paris in
1891. Princess Isabel, who married
the French Comte d'Eu still lives in
France. In 1908 her elder son re-
nounced his claim on the thrones
of Brazil in favor of his brother, Dom
Luiz, who's, little son, born in 1909,
is Pedro the Third.
when in Lisbon l visited the Pan
theon, where the rulers of Portugal
lie. Exiled from his own country, Dom
Pedro III also found resting place in
the land of his forefathers. | was
unfavorably impressed with this Pan
theon. 1t altogether lacks the beauty
and dignity of the royal mausoleum
of the Escorial in Spain. For the
payment of a small fee the custodian
permits you to climb a ladder and
gaze at the cmbalmed body of the
last Emperor Of Brazil. This seems
most uniting.
Dom Pedro II is Brazils biggest
| name. He it was who led his country
into the brotherhood of great nations.
With him wisdom and kindness were
preeminent. Every inch an emperor
he yet was accessible to the humbest

not so many years ago Rio de Janerlo
was the abode of royalty.
