would make interesting reading for persons
who have fo-saken the ways of the world.
Before she and the prince became bosom
friends, Lady Brooke and Lord Charles
Beresferd ran in couples. Beresford had a
wife of his own, Lady Beresford is dark and
handsome and fond of society. This scan
dal will do the Prince of Wales far more
harm than than the Gordon Cumming case.
The Church Times advises the Prince OF
Wales to sign a renunciation of card-play-
ing. This, it says, would have a tremend-
Gus moral effect over society, and would
not harm the prince.
The London correspondent of the Leeds
Mercury says that he has good reason to
state that the secretary of state for war
will apologize Monday next in the COM
mons on behalf of the Prince of Wales for
the course the latter took in conioning the
conduct of Cumming at Tranhycroft last
Semptember.
BERLIN, June 1s.-[Copyrighted, 1891. +
Military and social circles are equally
amazed at the revelations regarding the
condition of society in England. The ad-
mission that the Prince of Wales has been
involved in . gambling scandal is the
principal topic of conversation. At all of
the military casinos and clubs the action
of the prince in the affair is enphatically
condemned. It is impossible. it is stated,
to conceive of high Prussian officer con-
doning the offense of cheating or screen
ing person found guilty of such an act
The newspaper press draws comparisons
between the habits of the Prince of Wales
and those of Emperor William, whose
strong condemnation of gambling in the
German army has greatly assisted to check
the practice of gambling for high stakes.
The K}eine Journal goes so far in allud-
ing to the relations of the princess of
Wales towards her husband as TO say that
she is neglected for the women of the
demi-monde, and finds her sole consolation
in the respect with which the English peo-
pie surround her.
EDINBURGH, June 13.-The Scottish Lender
today says that at the time of the finan-
cial crisis, when the Barings were embar-
rassed, several financiers who had loaned
the Prince of Wales large sums of money
were obliged to ask for its return. These
sudden demands put the prince in a seri-
Gus fix for time, until Arthur Wilson, at
whose house the famous games of baccarat
were played, came to the assistance of the
heir apparent, and loaned him 81, 900. 600,
with which the prince paid back some of
the money he had borrowed from other
finauciers
