German newspaper press has so muct
money been spent for news. Four or i've
columns daily of the proceedings at Wind
sor, Elton, London and Wimbledon have
been cabled across the channel to leading
journals, and yesterday these eliminated
in filling an entire page of some OF tint
Berlin papers. No such interest was taker
in previous visits of the Emperor to Eng
land, for they were mere family affairs
The present visit, besides being to the Brit
ISL people as whole and worthily wei
coined by them, is regarded as having large
significance for the future OF Germany an6
the entire continent Diplomats here arc
assured that the sympathy OF England, OF
at least Of her majesty's government, is
now entirely with the triple alliance, and
are convinced, treaty or no treaty, thai
England would side with the alliance
should the peace of Europe be broken.
The action of those newspapers infiu-
enced by Prince Bismarck in assailing En-.
gland at the very time the Emperor OF
Germany was being enthusiastically re-
ceived in that country, has robbed the ex-
chancellor of nearly all the friends remain
ing to him. The bad taste of this course is
the chief article appeared in Dresden
paper which, during Emperor Frederick S
| illness revealed in infamous attacks upon
the Empress on account Of her British
birth, only adds to the disgust. 1t is uni
versally deplored that so great man as
Prince Bismarck should stoop so low as To
| inspire and countenance, such narrow
minded and impolitic proceedings.
The absence of the Prince of Saxe-Alten-
berg from London at the royal wedding is
thus explained Dy the courtiers. The En-
peror commanded the prince, who is MS
cousin, TO Keep in the background on this
occasion voluntarily, or If he did not, his
majesty would be compelled to request the
Queen of England to withdraw her invita-
ton, giving as his reason the fact that he
could not permit pure girl like Princess
Louise OF Schlesweig- Holstein TO be welded
in the presence OF such loathsome scoun-
drel as his serene highness of Sake Alien
berg. The prince, who had already felt
the Emperor's wrath at the beginning of
the year, came to the conclusion that he
had better not offend the Emperor further,
and so submissively stayed away.
Another investigation into the conduct
of certain officers who were accused of
having attended a ball in which, after the
manner of Charles III. of England, in some
of his more private entertainments, the
ladies wore as little clothing as possible,
and the gentlemen wore as little, was also
concluded, our correspondent is given 10
understand, by the personal interference
OF the Emperor, who feared that the matter,
if followed up, might end in public scan
DIAL The day before his majesty left for
Holland, he suddenly appeared in the Ii
brary OF a certain army casino in Potts
| dam, wherein the investigation was being
held, and noticing that most of the officers
were elderly, bald and slightly decrepit
mr. n,lf M N nd
said: You must have looked lovely in your
Ademic uniforms. However, you have for
feited the right to wear mine" The OFF,
GERS were afterwards informed his majesty
gave them three months TO resign, as a
wholesale dismissal from the service might
tend to create an unfavorabie impression.
While the Empress assumes the simple
name of Countess of Ravensburg during
her sojourn Ut Felixtow, the Kaiser an
nounces his intention of participating with
his brother Henry in a yacht race at Trave
Tand, near Lubbock, Aug. 9. Old Emperor
William was very fond of the turf and he
did not care who knew OF his passion for
horse racing. This. however, is the first
time the German Emperor has entered
yachting race with ordinary mortals. The
Thistle and Prince Henry's new yacht are
among them which have been already en-
tered.
The Archduchess Louise, future wife of
the heir presumptive to the throne of
Saxony, is well known in Berlin society
where she is much admired. She is very
graceful dancer and is also delightful viz
lin player. She is the daughter Of the ex-
Grand Duke OF Tuscany and is commonly
called the laughing beauty. The Saxon
Prince Frederic l.. Auguste, who is to
marry her, Is regarded as very fortunate
young man. to whom the Emperor has ex-
tended an invitation to make long stay in
Berlin next winter. A similar invitation
has been extended by the Empress to his
fiance.
The Berlin courts have decided that a
lover may cut of his sweetheart's tresses
and vet escape with only slight sentence
even if il be proved the act was inspired
by malice with a view to spelling the lady's
appearance. This decision has been ar
rived at in the case of a girl who sued her
ex-l lover for conspiracy, and also alleged he
had robbed her of her blonde locks with
the object of inluring her personal attract
iveness to such a degree that she would be
glad TO accept his offer OF marriage. The
case has been before several courts and
it finally reached the supreme court, which
august realm has decreed that man might
cut of lady's hair and could only be pun
ished for assault and sentenced to one
months Imprisonment
The Countess of Launay, wife of the
w
sentative OF Italy here since 1871. died last
week. Her loss is deeply deplored by the
court and society. She was 50 years old
and was the doyenne of the diplomatic corps.
She occupied prominent position in the
court. She was an old friend of Emperor
William the First, who was very fond OF
her. The favor she enjoyed under the old
regime was continued to her by the
present Emperor and Empress with whom
she was on intimate terms and who
greatly enjoyed her conversation, filed as
it was with "reminiscences of the heroic
past The Empress, on being informed of
her death, telegraphed her coincidence from
England yesterday, and o beautiful wreath
from the Emperor was laid upon her coffin.
The Count de Launay was ten years
Younger than the countess and is much af-
fected by her DEATH the noble pair having
led the happiest Of lives.
In the German custom Of clinking the
glasses before drinking the rims are apt to
get Clipped and particles of glass to fall
into the cup. AT Acommers recently in
CasseIa a student swallowed a piece Of
glass thus Clipped on and died in horrible
torture.
Three Engllshmen In search Of notoriety
have started to row a small boat from the
source of the Danube to its mouth. This
feat has been tried before, but has never
been accomplished. Five Englishmen es-
sayed 1t severai years ago, but failed.
