The Hawaiian gazette., 1894-10-19

| boy, with no knowledge of life except
what he gained through books and
papers that had been carefully in
spected before he saw them. The
darker side of Russian history was to
him a sealed volume.
Some five years ago the young prince
started out upon his travels. He went
| to Denmark, to England and to Ger
many, and the amount of modern in
formation that he managed to imbibe
and carry back to Russia set the teeth
of the car on edge. The young man had
brought back with him well defined
and radical opinions and theories upon
the questions and literature of the
day. He had decided that Jews were
human beings, and that it was in
human and ridiculous to prosecute
them. Worst of all, in his fathers
eyes, he had become the devoted friend
and admirer of the German emperor.
Look upon Russia as she is today,
and imagine mild, very intelligent,
modern young man coming in to take
the reins of an almost absolute mon
archy young man who has chosen
as his wife a vivacious German girl,
with keen sense of humor and the
the present ruler dies there is likely to
be housekeeping in the White Cars
country.
The czarevitch is twenty.six years
old. Ever since his boyhOod Europe
has been busy selecting wife for
him. He is so English in his tastes,
so fond of his cousins, the children of
the Prince of Wales, that it was sup
posed he would select one of the
daughters of that house, but even had
inclination pointed that way the Greek
church absolutely forbids the marriage
of first cousins.
The princess who is to become his
wife is twenty-five years old and the
most beautiful and the favorite grand
daughter of the Queen of England.
From her earliest childhood she has
shown a marked individuality. Her
mother was the Princess Alice, who
died of diphtheria when this daughter
was only six years old, as a result of
devotion to dying child. 1t has al
ways been considered unfortunate, in
the royal family circles, that the prin-
cess was left motherless so young. She
has grown up without any of that
stiffness and dizziness, that desire to
make charity garments with her own
fingers, which distinguishes the other
young women of the royal blood. She
is very small, with a certain beauty,
and with an elegance which would
make her remarkable anywhere. She
has in her face that indefinable attrac-
ton which the French call "the
beauty of the DEVIL" and she has wit
to match it.

MUNIFICENT REQUESTS.
Wishes Of the Late S. N. Castle to
be Carried Out.

Some time before his death, the
late S. n. Castle expressed wish
that various btquests be made.
They were not provided for in his
will, but the executors will see that
his wishes are carried out as soon
as possible.
The requests are as follows: $685.
600 to the Hawaiian Board of Mis-
sions; $4,000 to the Honolulu Lii
brary Association, and a fine pipe
organ, TO cost from $500 to $4,000,
for the new building of Oahu Col
lege. Besides there is $4,000 which
will be given to some other worthy
object, which has not yet been def
nitely settled upon.

HEIR TO THE THRONE.
PecuIiaTifies of the Man Who
Will Succeed tbs Gar.

VIII SuCCCCu ms
Nicholas Alexandrovitch, the Gar
evitch, heir to the throue, is by no
means a robust young man. de is
short and rather delicate looking, with
anything but the imperial bearing
which has come to be associated with
the Romanoff family. The present
Car is a veritable Ajax, of enormous
size and strength. His heart would
probably have gone out in sympathy
to an heir who Inherited the bodily
qualities of his race, or would have
forgiven his weakness of frame, had
it contained an imperious mind; but
the CZarevith had neither, and it is
said to be only through the influence
of the Czarina that the eldest son has
not been set aside from the succession
in favor of his younger brother,
Michael.
However much the Gar may love
his eldest son, he has no great respect
and admiration for him as a Russian
Emperor, says a writer in Munsey's
Magazine. He is student, and Alex
ander II thinks that students are of
small account in the world as COM
pared to men who can bend iron
pokers in their fingers. Nicholas
Alexandrovitch has studied all his
life, because studying was his only
pleasure. Fear of Nihilists kept him
for years almost prisoner in the i'm
perial palace and country places,
where he grew up an innocent-faced

on the southern coast of the Crimea.
There is also a town named Livania
in Greece, not far from Athens. The
sending of the yachts to the Pir8us
seems to mean the Gar is going from
SpaIa to Greece, instead Of to the
Crimea, as heretofore reported"
The Standard correspondent in Ber-
lin is authority for the statement that
Professor Leyden has diagnosed the
Cars ailment as Bright's disease in
an advanced stage. On the other
hand, the Vienna Tageblatt maintains
that the Gar is suffering from neuras-
thenia, coupled with anaemia, in ad-
dition to kidney disease.
The Cars condition, it is said, was
made worse by cold which he caught
two nights before leaving st. Peters
burg. He went to one of the telegraph
offices in the Winter Palace at !
o'clock in the morning and dictated
message to Abbas Tuman, in the
Caucasus, concerning the health of his
favorite son George, and waited an
hour and half in the bare office for a
reply from the doctor.
He was not satisfied with the reply,
and returning to his bedroom threw
himself into an armchair and wept.
He cried: "Oh God, what have l
done to be so severely punished ?"
The Car could not sleep through
thinking of his son George. During
the first night of his stay in Georges
residence in Spala the Gar arose from
his bed, went to his sons room and
watched his sleeping son for a long
time. In returning to his room he
passed through cold passage and was
attacked with rheumatism, which
made his condition still worse. 1t is
said that he greatly prefers Grand
Duke George to the CZarewitch.
1t is fair to say that all who have
come into contact with the CZarewitch
hold high opinion of his intelligence.
He was to have arrived at Darmstadt
Friday preparatory to taking his
fiancee, Princess Alice, to Wiesbaden
next week, there to be received into
the Orthodox church. These arrange
ments have all been upset owing to
the illness of the Gar, but the fact
that they were made and publicly an
nounced sets at rest the persistent
eo bhC VI b1S
young Princess to renounce the faith
in which she was born and bred. She
is an average princess, after all, with
no particular reluctance to become an
Empress.
Rumors affecting the Czarewitch
continue to be current, the latest
being to the effect that young opera
dancer has refused as insufficient the
sum of 5000 roubles offered her If she
would quit Russia. 1t is said she
wants 100000 roubles, but she is not
likely to get it, for she is too insignifi-
cant a cause of trouble.
Some people who have an opportu-
nifty of studying the character of the
Czarewitch decline to believe in the
existence of the opera dancer. Others
admit the possibility, even the proba-
bility, that the story is true, because
the Czarevitch, though amiable and
generous, is not by any means of reso-
lutte character, and, moreover, he is
peculiarly susceptible to pretty faces
and winning ways. These blemisbes
of character may be merely indica-
lions of immaturity, but they are
causing anxiety just now in view of
