WILLIAMS LOVE AFFAIR.
The Present Emperor's Romance
Was Upset by Bismarck.

From the New York Sun.
When the present Emperor of Germany
was at the most susceptible point in his
career he fell In love- and it was charac-
teristic of the young man that he fell
wildly and desperately, choosing for the
object of his alteration the beautiful elder
sister of the czarina, who is now the
Grand Duchess Serge of Russia.
Of course, this was all very fine and
romantic, but state policy came before
hearts, and as there would be nothing to
gain by marrying the heir of the German
throne to q Princess of Hesse Darmstadt,
Bismarck told Emperor William it
wouldn't do at all. The old emperor of
course, broke the news to his grandson,
who stormed and sulked, finally prom
ised obedience, and, when asked to look
about and select some other nice young
princess, broke out with:
Choose who you like; II is absolutely
the same to me- so long as 1t is not one
of the English lot"
OF course, this was just what the Iron
Chancellor wanted, and to heal the long
standing breach between the Holsteiners
and the Prussians, he proposed for the
Princess Augustus hand, and Prince Will

not find in his prospective bride any such

STORIES OF ToOMBs.
How a WindfaIl of $1,000 Came to
Him in London.


From the Chicago Times-Herald
During the closing days of the civil war
a detachment of federal cavalry rode into
the picturesque town of Washington, Ca.
and within a few moments after the ar
rival of the newcomers their command
stood at the front door of a large, old
fashioned mansion.
The visitors mission was soon made
known. He desired to see Gen. Robert
Toombs, and, in fact, was so anxious 10
see him that he was willing to put him.
self to no end of trouble to meet him.
The cavalry captain was informed that
the owner of the house was not at home
which statement was halfway true, be-
cause at that very instant Gen. Toombs
was making his way to the garden gate,
where he had a swift horse in readiness
for him.
The confederate leader lost no time In
mounting his steed, and before another
hour he was many miles away in a part
of the county which had not then been
visited by the invaders.
For days the gray-coated fugitive tray
eled, exercising the utmost vigilance, and
spending his nights with the most trust
worthy friends of the lost cause.
Finally, when the coast was clear, he
made his way to Cuba, and spent a few
weeks with the sympathizers of the con-
federacy in Havana.
There were reasons, however, why the
general should not return home at that
time, and he was not long in making his
arrangements to take an outgoing steamer
for Europe.
When he landed at Liverpool General
Toombs was short of funds. He had sent
a message to his wife from Cuba, but did
not know whether she would receive it. or
whether she would be able to raise any
money for him.
He was in an embarrassing fix. A
stranger In a strange land with only a
few dollars, he did not know which way
to turn.
With his royal disregard of money. he
invested in first-class ticket to London,
and boarded the train with less than five
dollars in his pocket. What to do when he
reached the. metropolis was the question.
The confederacy had collapsed, and Its few
friends in England were not likely to be In
condition to aid the refugee, even II they
should feel so disposed.
The solitary passenger was studying the
situation when a new fellow traveller came
into his compartment at one of the way
stations
The new arrival was London lawyer of
distinction, and glance satisfied him that
the man sitting opposite was Robert
Toombs, an ex-member Of the confederate
cabinet, an ex-confederate general. ana
a famous American lawyer.
The Londoner had seen the others pic
ture in the Illustrated papers ana lie had
heard something of him on one OF his Wis

Tuesday he opened the ninth inning with

experience Of Monday was not repeated.
But 1t cannot be disputed that when men
are on bases. he Is very apt to pop up a fly.
He Is now just where he most fl equently
mas chances to advance or score runners
by hitting.
Rogers is developing into a surer batter
than the big man who guards first bag
ana DeMontreville doubtless has a better
hitting record for the season Either man
would do better at team batting than Cart
wright has of late.
1t ought to be mentioned. too. that in this
connection there is a good deal of talk to
the effect that Cartwright ought to be laid
OH the team for few games, to Try a new
combination. The fans who talk this way
are OF the opinion that Cartwright isn't a
very strong man on the initial bag. These
people do not stop to think, however, as
possibly Capt. Joyce does, that The first
basemen who shine on other teams have
easy positions to fill and would not be in
with the Washingtons
Inc explanation is easy. Other first
Dasemen have seasoned inhelders to deliver
the ball to them. and nine times out of
zen len me pail comes to them just right. The
situation with Washington is Just reversed
ana IL Is the exception when a ball is well
thrown to Cartwright, particularly in a
isht place. He gets the nastiest balls
thrown 10 any first baseman in the league
una mas saved many, many errors to the
lhhelders by the mastery way in which he
scoops them up. Joyce, although seasoned
Is not a good thrower. Rogers and De
Mohtrevllle are both quick and active, and
are swift throwers. but they are often in
accurate. Knowing Cartwright's ability to
catch short bounds they avoid the danger
or throwing into the stand by sending them
In low. The result is that Cartwright sell
dom receives thrown ball above the knee,
ana often he gets nasty long-short bound
ers-the hardest kind of ball to catch-such
as that thrown by Rogers in the tenth in
ming yesterday. which retired the side. and
saved the game.
This Is what some people who have close

ard probably Mr.. Wagner aad his enter
prising captain manager think The same
way Shifting Cartwright's position in the
batting list might be an advantage with

the big frs. baseman as an all-rounj
player.
