HERE'S A ROYAL skLvATIoSIsT.
A nephew of she Prussian cabinet
minister, Baron Won Puttkammer, and
a cousin Of Princess Bismarck, is nov
a member Of the salvation army in
New York. Before finding a refuge
the forces OF "Geueral" Booth
he had experienced all the b%itterest
miseries Of poverty and had on several
occasions figured as inmate Of hospitals
and OF charitable institutions. His
career has been a strange one, and be,
fore coming to the United States he had
some exceedingly interesting adven-
lures in South America.
1t is but the other day that Count
Butcher, SON OF tho prince Of that name
and a grand nephew Of the famous Ger
man field marshal, who helped the
Duke OF Wellington to win 1.-THE battle OF
Waterloo, died as q pauper in one oftlle
New York hospitals. Prince Rohan is
by no means the only bearer OF a great
title who has figured as a restaurant
waiter in this country, for there is
Count Won Schulenburg, brother Of the
lady in waiting OF Empress Augusta, OF
Germany, who officiates in that capacity
in this city. At Chicago / was served
ct table at the Grand Pacific Hotel,
some years ago, by a young waiter in
whom l recognized Count Won Groeben,
a former officer OF the Hussars OF the
Guard, which the emperor commanded
in person prior to his accession to the
throne. The count had come over to
this country for the purpose OF cattle
ranching, and, having lost all his money
in the business, had been forced TO seek
other means of livelihood. Ihave since
heard, however, that shortly after my
departure from the Windy City q
wealthy merchant, who happened to be
staying at the hotel, had taken u fancy
to him and had offered him a place as
clerk in his counting house. Yet an
other hotol waiter at Chicago was until
recently the Marquis de Saint Croix,
the bearer Of one OF the most ancient
and illustrious names in France. l UNI
derstand, however, that he has now Sc

COUNT B~EREsroKFF's BrTTRR DAY
Very bitter were the experiences OF
Count William BernstorfE. whose name
is almost as well known in England as
it is ON the continent. His father is
the statesman who preceded Prince
Bismarck as Prussian minister Of for
eign affairs, and who spent SO many
wears in London as ambassador to the
Court Of St. James. Count William
Bernstorf was forced by some trouble
in connection with q duel to resign his
eauerryship to Prince Henry, of Prus-
STA, and his ~lieutenantcy in the Ziethen
Hussars and emigrated with his wife to
this country. Like manyother foreign
ers, he invested a portion OF his capital
IN the purchase OF an apparently mag
niicent orange plantation in Florida.
Neither the count nor the countess
possessed tho slightest knowledge OF
the necessities and ways OF life in the
south, and it was not long before
the plantation enterprise resolved it.
self into q complete and most deplora-
BILE fiasco. Much disguised, the count
ess returned home to her relatives, leav.
ing her husband to fight the battle OF
life as best he could. This he attempt
ed to do in many strange and peculiar
and for a year he acted as agent
and drummer for a well knoBnseham-
payne house. He likewise spen6some
months as teacher in thelemPfoyibf one
of the riding academies up town. He
ouarEeled, however, with his employ
ers, and for a time drifted about in New
York without food and in the most
dire distress. Fortunately and unex-
pectedly he one day met q relative, who
was able to secure him employment in
connection with d codple Of the New
York dailylpapers. But perseverance
was not his forte, and after a few
months of press life he returned home,
with the object Of joining the German

Count Bernstorf during his news
paper work in New York found several
fellow members of the German nobility
among his comrades OF the press,

and as a caricaturist Baron

war, receiving the Iron Cross for his

Equally fortunate has been Count
Kolowrat OF Austria. who was
to expatriate himself for a time

bore a prominent part for he married
a few years afterh his arrival here,
the wealthy daughter OF Baron Hup-
mann, the founder and proprietor Of
the Metropole tobacco company in New
York. Count Kolowrat has now return

efecting q satisfactory settlement OF the
difficulties which led him to come to
America.
Others who have succeeded in recu-
perating their fortunes in this country
are Baron Won Radowitz, son OF the
famous generalo of that name, and brother
or frat cousin, l forget which, to the
present German ambassador at Madrid.
The baron is a prosperous coal merchant
