imperial court circle, is also on the black list of Von Kotze It would probably be a relief to the emperor If some one would kindly kill Duke Ernst in duel, or oth- erwise, as this young man has caused more scandal than any other hundred men in the city. Emperor William has had nothing to do with Prince Ernst Tor some time.
 About two and half years ago the em- peror tried to reform him and agreed to restore him in the royal favor If he would promise to make a show of responsibility. The duke was willing to reform on certain conditions He told the emperor that he must be set on his feet financially before he could make a proper change of life for the better. He had been cutting wide swaths in the world and half world of Berlin society and got into the hands of usurers and gamblers; his $10000 a year had proved but drop in this bucket of debt, and he must have $240.000 cash down to disentangle himself. Emperor William decided this would be a cheap price to pay for responsibility in his wife's family. He paid it. Ernst Guenther worked hard to reform. He was so successful at first that he began posing as a moralist.
 Just how fast he sagged back into his old habits, just how costly the resumption of his former associations had been and just how much worse his second stage was than the first had been matters Of surmise until his quarrel with the em- peror and the common discussion of his affairs revealed the truth. In the year and

THE THREE MOST CONSPICUOUS IN THE SCANDAL

eight or nine months that he preached frugalty and sobriety to the noble Prus- sians, he frittered away not only his yearly income of $10,0OO, but also $50,000 of other peoples incomes, and accumu- lated some $l0OO0O worth of debts
 It was this account, presented by the duke to his brother-in-law, which precipi- tated the quarrel in the imperial family. He consorts with crooks, exposes state secrets and disgraces his family gener- ally.
 Cause of the Scandal.
 It was this precious duke who indi- rectly laid the foundation for the whole scandal. He it was who entered into an intrigue with an alleged French count ess, woman of the world. who, by her beauty and tact, managed to work into

fight. If any of them declines he will brand that man as a coward in every court in Europe.
 Kotze is on a campaign of vengeance. He is almost a monomanlac on the sub ject He has been in such fearful dis grace for so long that he has been driven frantic. Now he is determined to make the men who had any part in his troubles pay the price of their interference. Like some knight errant of the middle ages, he wants to mow down his traducers one after the other and wade through their blood to gain the esteem and respect of his fellow men.
 The warllke German has a big job on hand. The chances are twenty to one against his succeeding, for each one of the men he will meet on the field of honor

will have just as good a chance of boring him with a bullet as he will have at them.
 Moreover, the authorities are hungry to get at him. and many prisons are yawn- ing for him, but as public sentiment has turned in his favor the officials, from Emperor William down, hesitate to take any step which would deprive Von kotze permanently of his liberty. It would look like cowardce, too. for it is well known that Von Kotzo is after the scalps of some princes in whom flows the pure blood of royalty. If he challenges them, as he probably will, they could refuse to meet him on the ground that he occupies an in- ferior station, but by doing so they would be placing in jeopardy their regulations for bravery and in all probability they would forever after be treated with con tempt by the people of the set in which

they move They would be hooted at by the public and sneered at by the anti court papers.
 Has Fought Three Duels.
 Kotze has already fought three duels. A year ago this month he met Baron Rei- schach on the field. The baron was at tached to the court circle of the Empress Frederick and was one of the most &C., tive of KotZe'S enemies In this duel sey- en shots were exchanged, and the baron got three of them in different parts of his body. Kotze was only hit once, but the wound was bad one, in the abdomen, and for time his life was despaired of.
 As soon as he was able to get out he be- gan arrangements for a meeting with Baron Schrader The duel took place in June of last year. and each was wounded slightly. In addition Kotze was con fined for three months in the fortress for dueling. He intended challenging Baron Schrader again, but the baron forestalled him by sending a challenge for the duel which has just had such fatal termna- tion.
 A meeting of the Adelstag (the nobility has just been held to discuss questions of the duello, and after a long wrangle 1t was decided that 1t is not a brand of disI honor for a nobleman to refuse to fight a duel if the grounds of his refusal are honorable. This means that Von Kotze may have some difficulty in future in get ting his enemies to accept the challenges which he will fling broadcast unless in terrered with by the strong arm of the

 Prince Egon of Fuerstenberg, known as the heaviest swell in the German me- tropolis, is another on the fatal list made by Von Kotze. When the hue and cry against Kotze was at the loudest Prince Egon joined In and his prominence in so- cial affairs gave an importance to his condemnation. The Fuerstenbergs, big and little, followed the example of Prince Frederick some time ago and left Berlin.

Many years ago her house was known as the headquarters of all the scandal mongers in fashionable Berlin, and the beautiful French woman remembered all that she had heard there.
 The emperor's eldest sister, Princess Charlotte of Saxe-Meiningen, very vain woman and finished intriguante, was friendly with the French woman and Frau Won Kotze until the latter began to talk about her. Then the princess missed the precious diary in which she had written accounts of all the vicious re- ports she had heard about the court peo- pie. Princess Charlotte accused Frau

 When Won KotZe, by due process of law, was adjudged not guilty of sending the scandalous letters which created such havoc in so many high families, a court of honor composed of two Berlin regi- ments, found an opposite verdict and urged the emperor to dismiss Won Kotze from the army in disgrace.
