A PRINCES WEDDING TOUR.
A ludricous intermeZzo in the tragic
conflict between Crispi and Cavallotl
is reported in MilaneSe papers. Prince
Linguaglossa, the son-in-law OF the
Italian premier, whose marriage IN the
beginning year was described in these
columns, is still on his wedding tour,
which has now lasted for nearly year
Fashionable honeymoon trips in
Europe usually lasts but few weeks,
which the Germans call "F'litterwoch-
en-" and even among the upper ten
rarely exceeds three months. This
young pair, to be sure, can afford to eX-
tend it's duration, for the prince is i'm
mensely wealthy, having recently in
herited several millions from a grand
aunt, and the groom and bride, each
accompanied by servant, are travelling
on free passes furnished by the Italian
railway companies.
Unfortunately Prince Linguaglossa,
when recently stopping at Milan on his
Way from Venice, upon his entering the
depot missed his four tickets. He had
lost them. Like any ordinary mortal
he was compelled to purchase new ones.
In his chargin ne committed the indis-
cretion to say to the official who sold
them to him. Tell Signor Cavallotu
that / paid for these tickets out of my
own pocket What made his remark
appear more imprudent was the fact
that it was a matter OF pubnc com
ment that the prncely couple were max
on terms that a man as rich as CrispiS
son-in-law might have declined without
special effort or compunction- No soon
er had Cavallotti been informed of the
princes rash act through the press
than he addressed to him the following
letter. which at the same time appear
ed in the Secolo:
Mr.. Linguaglossa-In addressing
you in this form / purposely drop the
prince because this title presupposes
better manners and a certain measure
of dignity which is not apparent in
your conduct at the Milan railway de-
pot My honest major-domo, who dur
ing his leisure hours sits on his shoe
makers bench, is more of prince
than you are. l am, nevertheless, de-
lighted to hear-for you expressly
wished that I should know it-that you
possess sufficient means for your wed
ding trip. But this very fact places
your sordid acceptance of four free
passes for that purpose in more glar-
ing light. Besides insulting officials
who attend to their duty, you seize
upon an opportunity for attacking me
merely because you are angry for hav-
ing been caught in the act. You evil
IDENTIFY have rapidly acquired the habits
Of your new relatives, or rather you
really We're born to become the son-in-
law Of your father-in-law.
