The San Francisco call., 1898-08-03
-- THE PRINCE OF MONACO.

The Prince of Monaco has at length attained one of the. ambitions of his life; namely, matrimonial alliance between his family and one of the sov- ereign houses of Europe. For a mar riage has just been negotiated between his only son and heir, Prince Louis, now 2S years of age, and Duchess So- phia of Bavaria, second daughter of Duke Charles Theodore of Ba- varia, who Is a brother of the Empress of Austria, as we'll of the ex-Queen of Naples, and so celebrated throughout the civilized world as an oculist.
 Only those who are aware of the alto gether anomalous position which the reigning family of Monaco has until now enjoyed among the sovereign houses of Europe can realize what an alliance of this kind means to the for mer. Not alone have the rulers of the old world secuted the idea of any mat rimonial alliance with the Monacos but have displayed a very marked reluct- ance to admit them to their courts.
 In fact, the Emperor of Russia re- gards the Prince and Princess of Mon aco with such undisguised contempt that when some time ago they an nounced their intention of visiting St Petersburg he caused them to be in formed in the most curt manner that as he did not propose to receive them it was unnecessary that they should take the trouble to come so far and that he had therefore forbidden his am bassadors to give that visa to their passports, without which they would not be permitted to cross the Russian frontier
 The present wife of the Prince of Monaco is a daughter of the Hebrew banker, Michael Heine, of Paris and New Orleans. His first wife was sister of the late Duke of Hamilton, his mother belonged to the Belgian noble family of De Merode, while his grand mother was the daughter of Parisian pork butcher, whom his grandfather had married while earning his liveli- hood as tenth-rate actor at the Am bigua Theatre, at Paris, before the death of distant cousin brought him to the pinchbeck throne of Monaco

 MUSIC AS A RELISH.

No one appears to know 1t yet, but it Is a serious and risky experiment, this eating to music. Nearly every res taurant In town that is a restaurant has string band or mandolin quar- tet picking off "There'll Be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight" or selections from "Cavalleria Rusticana" or other favorites while the guests eat.
 And 1t isn't pleasant to some people.
 There are those who are afraid of lockjaw eating fish to waltz time, and digging out a lobster to the melodic strains of My Girls High-born Lady isn't just the real thing. In one restau- rant here in Detroit the table dhote dinner is served to appropriate music. With the soup the orchestra plays What Did Dewey Do to 'Em?" and when the fish comes the air Is changed to Swim Out, O'Grady." That isn't all, though. With the roast they play "Tenting on the Old Camp Ground. D and so on through the entire repertory of dishes.
 A visitor in town was particularly struck with this system when he dined in the place yesterday, and thought 1t all very nice and appropriate I'll come here often," he said. whenever I'm in town. It's great. It adds relish to the meal'' But when the cornet solo, ist played "She May Have Seen Better Days" as a pre-Adamite egg was served him he changed his mind and left the table in disgust, even forgetting to pay the waiter for what had gone before- Detroit Free Press
