hearted Secretary of the Navy, has re-
mitted the unex pired portion OF the SEN
tence of the court-martial in the case of
Lieutenant Werlich of the Philadelphia.
The lieutenant, serving under Admiral
Beardslee on the flagship, endeavored to
respond to all the requirements of hospi-
tality on the Sound, but his capacity to
dine, digest and drink was not equal to
the occasion. So one morning as he stepped
aboard the cruiser after night ashore he
wobbled. The wobble was officially no.
Iiced and he was arrested. The trial took
place in the harbor Of San Francisco, and
the lieutenant, pleading guilty, got the
light sentence of six months suspension.
He had served two months and lost four
numbers in the order of future promotion
when the Secretary of the Navy mercifully
came to his rescue

Frederick Warde delivered the opening
address, taking occasion to pay tribute
to the care and skill OF the modern workers
behind the scenes.
Miss Nellie McHenry's company con-

GlrP; there were songs, sketches and
specialties; a one-act play adapted from
the French entitled "The Violin-maker of
Cremona," and the first act of "Tina," by
Miss Oracle Plaisted' $ company.
One of the most enjoyable features was
the ''Trilby" act by Ferris Hartman and
Miss Gertie Carlisle. The latter's work
was particularly charming, and gives great
promise of bright future. There was all
the naivete and disingenuousness in her
presentation of the character that is
usually looked for in the innocent and
prosecuted victim of the terrible SvengaIi.
Gilbert and Goldie in their unique
sketch, comprising a series of sudden
transitions from the sublime and tragic
to the absurd and ridiculous, was one of
the hits, and Louis Meyers in his club

1t is greatly to the young mems credit
that they have made their own way in the
world The Milanese aristocracy took no
notice OF them and in Milan, where they
had their studios, they consorted exclu-
sively with the studio set. They were
quite poor six or seven years ago, and
worked hard at their painting and model
ing to exc out scanty living.
Paul, the sculptor, was always consid-
cred to be the more talented of the broth
ers. He took certain pride in being
boorish and capricious in his manners and
was an avowed woman-hater. Peter. the
handsome painter. whom Amelle Rives
Chanler had captured, aspired to be
something of dandy, but he had not the
means to live up to his pretensions.
Among the American students he was a
good deal laughed at under the soubri-
quet of the Penniless Prince. Since then
his talents have secured him some recogni-
ton, but Mrs. Chanler is very much
mistaken if she imagines that she can ever

men and women, and who We're brought
up in the neighboring villas to the Trou-
betskois on the lago, can tell curdling
tales of the biting sarcasms and taunts
that the old Prince used to treat his sons
to when black fit of dissatisfaction was
on him. Sometimes he threatened to send
them to Russia and let them tramp over
the steppes in line regiment. At other
times he reminded them that they had
been born in Italy and owed military SER
vice to King Hum bert. 81 will inform the
authorities that you cannot shield your
selves under the cloak of being Russians, !"
he would say. "You shall be made to
serve" This taunt would never fail to
rankle, for the two eldest sons had the
greatest horror of doing military service.
When the young Troubetskols started
in life they did not have the title of Prince
inscribed on their visiting cards. Peter
and Paul got round the question OF
whether they could claim the title or not
bv having coronet engraved on their
cards and their unadorned names be-
meath. After the old Princes death, how
ever. his sons laid claim more boldly to
the title of Prince, ignoring the bar sinis-
ter entirely, and Italy is so far away from
Russia that no one disputed their claim.

In the meanwhile each member will i'm

she was on the verge of shaking off the
matrimonial shackles that bound her to
Mr.. Chanler in order that she might
enter the bonds of matrimony again with
Prince Peter Troubetskoi.
Mrs. Chanler having secured her di-
vorce the Prince crossed the seas and
married her. The Eastern papers not only
chronicle all the young mans achieve
ments, but they contain roseate accounts
of his numerous and noble connections
and describe in detail the high standing
the TroubetskCis occupy at the imperial
court of Russia.
It is an odd coincidence that not one of
the enterprising chroniclers has assigned
any reason for the fact that Prince Peter
Troubetskoi and bis brothers never go to
Russia; have never been there, and that in
spite of the high standing the family occu-
pies at the imperial court the young men
who bear the name in Italy have no coun-
try and no nationality.
Behind these facts lies romance of the
order that Ouida delights to honor. 1t in

hearted wife, and of the long, slow suffer-
ing that sometimes comes to a man as

The Troubetskois are very great fam
lily. In fact, the blood of the imperial
Romanoffs runs in their veins, but Prince
Peter is shut off from his imperial connec-
tions by bar sinister, which also shuts
him off from claiming his Russian nation
ality, though in moments of irritation,
when the fierce old Prince, his father, was
chafng in Italian exile, he used to
threaten to send his sons to Russia to fight
as common soldiers in the army of the
Czar.
The romance began some thirty-seven
years ago. Prince Troubetskoi, a man who
The San Francisco call., 1896-03-02

stood high at the imperial court of Russia
and was distant cousin of the Gear, was
travelling for pleasure in Italy, when
he met q charming American singer,
whose warbling few years later caused a
local chronicler to describe her as "the
canary-bird Of the Lago Magglorew The

resent any wrong done her, but the Rus
sian nobleman forgot all this while he
basked in the smiles of the singer.
News OF the attachment came to the
Cars ears and he commanded his subject
TO return home on pain of imperial
displeasure. The infatuated Prince failed
to comply. The summons was repeated,
and still the Prince came not. Then the
Czar. in his wrath, exiled the forgetful
husband, and to make his punishment
more bitter he ordered that lie should not
be granted divorce IN Russia. Most of
the Princes wealth had come to him
through his wife, and the Gar saw to it
that he should touch none of this. Out OF
his own property the Prince was allowed
what to man of his extravagant tastes
was mere p ttance, and he was told that
he never need set foot in Russia again; in
fact, he was made grimlv to understand
that Siberia would be his portion if he did.
He comprehended too we'll aud remained
in exile till his death.
1t was near PallanZa, on the Lago Mag
giore, where Prince Troubetskoi had taken
a villa, that the fiance of Amelie Rives
Ohanler saw the light of day. In due
time the Russian wife died, and the Prince
married his canary bird of the Lago
Magglore." The exiled Russian was not
happy man. He regretted the feshpots
of st. Petersburg and Moscow, and when
sullen fit was on him he made life aay-
thing but bed of roses for his family.

of Chesterfield, but people who are now
