queen still persisting In her advocacy. Of |
the princess claims, he win this week be |
gazetted to supreme command in the !
Mediterranean In succession TO that
splendid officer, Sir John Hay. The |
prince Is already packing up for Malta. |
His wife goes with him, and |
will reside outside Of England |
during his command. Prince Alfred |
his son, win be with him on board |
aud Prince George OF Wales will have a |
post on board one OF the other ships One |
wonders II the dukes expenses OF packing I
up and getting to Malta win have 10 be |
paid by the nation. II must be owned !
that we have good many special little |
bills to pay for the privileges OF our mo-
narchial institution. The queen is still |
much concerned at the other European |
courts continuing TO regard the marriage |
OF the Battenberger with the Princess Bea-
trice is nothing more or less than NOR
ganatic arrangement The young people
seem to be very happy together, ncverthe-
less, and the queen is credited with lit
tie ''sweet revenge on Germany in grant-
ing her permission TO the Count and
Countess Gleichcn to resume the rank and
titles OF Prince and Princess Victor Of
nlohe-Langenburg. Court gossips
says the queen is not on such affectionate
terms with all the members OF her
family az she formerly was. She Is
"outN with the cleverest of her daughters,
the crown princess of Prussia, about the
Battenberg business; and last week the
prince OF Wales and the Princess Louise
are understood to have gwen their mother
great offense by attending the perform
ance of "Faustn at the Lyceum theater
while the court is in mourning. II is u
hard and fast rule that to 30 TO theater
while the court is In mourning Is serious
breach Of etiquette. The prince and his
sister have received maternal rebuke,
but they have not moulted their feathers
as did the poor jackdaws OF Rheims
under the papal curse. 1t is OF course
quite right that her majesty should keep
up the etiquette Of the court. The
prince had equity look" in his genial
face on the first night of "Faust.n He
kept IN the background of his box, hiding
himself literally behind the beautiful Lady
de Grey BY the way it was Lady de
Grey's box, not the prince's; so he might
have been considered TO be at the theater
iucognito, Just as Mrs. Scarborough used
to be at her theater on first nights. She
would sit at the back of the stalls in order
: to Judge for herself the effect Of the new
piece. "Don't speak to me-" she said to
