more monumental or magnificent than 1 the kitchens which have just been con- structed in the new-built portion of 1 the imperial palace at Budapest. The range destined for the preparation of the court dinners is no less than fifty feet long, and admits of the prepara- ton of meals for 1000 people.
 The range reserved exclusively for the meals of the emperor-king is twelve feet long, and is wholly com posed. of white metal, adorned with enameled porcelain. The archdukes have their own special range. The heating of the various ranges is done exclusively by means of gas, and the cost thereof represents a sum of S100, 900.
 l Although Turkey is generally con- sidered as a bankrupt state, the sultan 1 is continuing his extravagant expendi- ture in connection with the approach l ing visit of the kaiser. He has built in the park of the imperial palace at Constantinople a chalet for the use Of his imperial guest, at cost of $20O, ,0OO and the splendor of it's appointments may be gathered from the fact that a local upholsterer has already received S20,000 for the furnishing of single room.
 The main streets and thoroughfares of the capital are being repaired at the cost of million dollars, and no less than $200,000 are being devoted tc the Galata bridge, all this expense be- | ing in addition to that incurred in con- nection with the kaiser's visit to Pal estine. Yet the kaiser will only be four days at Constantinople. 1 ssAs
 After a delay extending over some eighteen months, and which served to antagonize Prince Ferdinand with al- most every court of Europe, his two favorite aids-decamp, Captain Boitche and Lieutenant-C Colonel Novelitch, both of whom were arrested on the peremptory demand of the Austrian government at the very dinner table of the price, have now been hanged for the shocking murder of a lovely Hun- garian actress named Anna Szimon
 Ferdinand's extraordinary behavior in shielding them from punishment had led to a very general impression that they had perpetrated the murder at the instigation of the prince himself for the purpose of ridding him of a woman whose complaints might have aroused the jealousy of his homely long-nosed, and exceedingly wealthy consOrt. And this impression was strengthened by the insinuations and beasts of the two officers even after their conviction.
 Now, however, they have met thei, deaths on the scaffold, and if gossip at the various European courts is t( be believed, the czar made their execu tior a sine qua non before he would ccnsent to receive Prince and Princes!
 Ferdinand at the court of St. Peters burg, being unwilling to hold any per sonal intercourse with the prince unti
 the latter cleared himself of all sus
 picion in connection with the murde
 of the unfortunate actress by permit lting the law to take it's course.
 I may add that -Colone
 Novelitch was no other than Baron vol
 Liebieh, the reprobate eldest son of tn
 Austrian Field Marshal von Liebich
 who played so prominent part a
 governor general of the Italian prov
 inces in the sixties.
 Although the young officer distin guished himself as cavalry captail at Custoza, he became soon afterward implicated in forgery scandal, whicl
 forced him to desert and to seek refug in the Balkans, where he led the life o
 an adventurer until he joined tn household of Prince Ferdinand of Bull . garia
