GORTsOHAKOFF AND THE GEAR
How the Great Chancellor First
Became Prominent
New York Herald.

The intimacy between Prince Gortscha.
kof and the Gar dates from 1912, when all
Russia was occupied with the question
whether the Emperor Nicholas would sue
coed in marrying his younger daughter as
suitably as the Grand Duchess Marie. 1t
was then Prince Gortschskoffs mission to
accomplish a brilliant union between the
Grand Duchess Olga and the only royal
heir to throne disposable under the cir
umstances-namelp, the Crown Prince
Karl of Wurtemberg. King William l,
the most stubborn of Suabians, showed
himself little in favor of the project. In
the liberal circles of the country they
would hear nothing of Russian marriage
and the youth of the heir of the Wurtem
berg crown afforded welcome pretext for
dilatory answers TO the hints that had been
dropped by the Russian Ambassador. To
have achieved this marriage otter numer-
Gus hindrances, and thus to have fulfilled
the favorite desire of the Emperor and
gratifed the ambit on of the court, was
service which would alone have sufficed to
secure for the skillfnl mediator the lastin <
gratitude of his sovereign. But Gortscha-
kof contriyed TO add another to it.
Resigning for the time the greater
sphere of elton for which he was pas
sionately longing, he promised the EN-
press that he would remain in Stuttgart
until her youngest daughter wa complete-
ly accustomed to her new circumstances
1t was necessary for the young Princess to
adapt herself to hard and obstinate
father-in-law to forget the grandeur and
easy tone of the Winter Palace, and to
make herself at home in narrow circle,
composed for the most part of whimsical.
pretentious beings, with limited province j
ideas, For eight. years the Prince was the
confdaIt of all the difficulties and small
annoyances which the Crown Princess had
to endure; he was the unwearied mediator
and counsellor in all the small storms
which troub led the stuttgart Court, and
which at times such as during the
events of ls4S and 1919, could
become painful enough. 1t was a
service which the Emf error Nicholas never
forgot. With almost his last breath he
commended the minister to his sons affec-
ton, and from that dsv Prince Gortschs-
koff bias been the best loved figure of
A exander's court.

Four Hugs to the Square.

The man who walks at night sees funny
things. On Wednesday night, between 10
and II O. clock, while a fAct-stater was
cleaving the dmness Of Walton street, his
attention was attracted by q youthful couple
who were walking at fearful speed o.
fifteen minutes to the half square. While
he was thinking how long they could keep
up this :pace without stopping they
stopped within the friendly shadow
of huge billboard, and the young
man clasped the young lady to
his heaving bosom and kissed her. Then
he looked up and down the street, as
though lexpecting some one who he sim
cerely hoped would not come, and then
suddenly remembering that he had a
previous engagement, he turned and en-
braced his companion in long and loving,
and business.like manner, and then he
kissed her. Somehow he seemed to feel
that he had not made complete success,
and he kissed her again. Then, as if dis
pleased with his style of work he repeated
in sort of Emma Abbott way, This struck
him as, being quite the thing, and he prsc-
ticed it several times. After q while he
stopped kissing,the young lady and Rugged
her. And just here he displayed real gem
ius. He showed perfect familiarity with
every possible style. Heclasped her gently
then ueezsd her rapturously, then he
grabbed her violently--tben he embraced
her slowly and impressively-t he hug
ged her as if he had firmly resolved never
to 20 into any other business as long as he
lived, and then he thought he heard some
body coming, and they walked off as if
nothing in the world had happened. They
turned into Broad ,street and having Joined
their friend, the shadow near Wilson's
coal-yard, they repeated the Watson
street performance without any material
change of programme. And then they
strolled leisurely into LucKey street, be-
tween Forsyth and Broad, and in answer
to an encore gave another performance of
the same description. After this they pas
sed into Forsyth Street, and when theywere
near the First Baptist church the idea &C.
cured to the young man that he, would give
farewell performance. They did so.
Both seemed deeply affected, and the un-
seen audience was almost moved to tears
at the extremely touching sight And then
those happy nocturnal closer to my bosom
comes moved silently down Walton street,
and the unseen audience of one slowly
dispersed. ..
