The age-herald., 1899-03-19

The Princess Louise of Saxe-Coburg- Gotha. the daughter of the king of Bel gium, is to present herself at the portals of American society. It is not often that American society has an occasion to enter tain royal parsonage of such exalted rank and now that such an opportunity is to present itself one can but wonder what so- ciety will decide to do about it.
 Will she be received into It's holy of holies or will she be compelled to live in seciu- sion even upon these royalty-loving shores? Will her past seek out and raise a barrier of insurmountabie height before the doors of society or will the leaders of the exclu- sive circles on this side of the 'big pond' forget all that they have known and bid her welcome.
 When men of royal rank have visited us society has condoned their sins and opened its doors hospitably to receive them. Will society extend the same mercy to a woman who has sinned and suffered?
 The story of the life of the "madcap princess" as she is called, have been the source of gossip on both sides of the Att lantic for long time. The columns of the society journals have teemed with her es- capades, and, as the result, she is greatly misunderstood person, for while one-half of the world finds in her a modern em- bodiment of Messilina, the other half re- gards her as a martyr to circumstances, poor child of royalty who has been driven mad by the cruelty of brutal alliance, and both cannot be right
 Whatever the Princess Louise may be, however, the world should not judge her too harshly. She is but what fate has made l., 1I.. T little of both the blame should attach to the conditions that have made such a woman out of an innocent girl whose life. before she came into close relations with her fa-

that proves the rule. There Is no pomp of sonorous deeds, no delicacy of intrigue, no carnival of blood to clothe the narrative in the garb of romance, for, instead of splendor, there is nothing but vulgarity; Instead of royal gliding, monumental bad taste.
 The world never had better example of the power of a hereditary taint than is offered by this ''madcap princess" It was In her blood. When she grew older she saw it personifled in her father. Her mother had power over her while she was in the nursery, but the screen of innocence was torn from her eyes when she passed from the hands of her governess into those of the modiste who was to make her we'd ding gown.
 The princess was r years old when she was married to her cousin, Philip, of Saxe- Coburg-Gotha He was old enough to be her father, a man who looked like a brewer and acted like fool. He had been born with the same hereditary taint in his blood, and while the examples set before him had been less diffuse, he had broad ened his education while yot a very young man. At Bonn he had displayed capacity for liquor that had won for him the respect of the student corps Later at Vienna he continued his orgies in a manner to sur prise the most fastidiously corrupt court in the world. Such q marriage could only be fraught with the most direful conse- quences
 The plain, unvarnished facts of the life of Princess Louise have never been told, but from the most reliable Belgian sources it is learned that she stepped from her nursery days at the Brussels court into 0 life of martyrdom a the hands of her hus- band. the prince. At their wedding feast Philip grossly insulted her before great company, and he continued to treat her so brutaly that she appealed to her mother before they had been married many months.
 Poor Queen Maries life had been so en- bittered by her own ma trimonial experience that she could sympathize with her daugh- ter, but King Leopold was obdurate, and

THE COMING OF THE MADCAP PRINCESS.

had blossomed into the wife of the crown prince, Princess Louise was brought more than ever into close intimacy with Inc throne. She ceased to be wall noWer. Men who had passed the heavy Belgian by without second glance now found fasein- ation in her that they had never seen De- fore, for in her life at Vienna she had learned the secret of being fascinating. The court where women live only to allure and the maltreatment of husband whose life was given up to debauchery had Killed the innocent girl who had been content to say her prayers at her mother Knee at lhS court of Belgium.
 The change that came over her lire was marvellous. The swollen eyelids, the dark caverns beneath tho eyes were gone ana with head high in the air and a smile on her lips she set out to drown her despair in the gay life that her husband found so aliuring. Milliners and modistes vied to make her apparel the most gorgeous at the Austrian court and she who had summed the world now sought it. None were gayer, none more risque. She appeared upon the turf, she participated in late suppers she made her husbands companions her intimates At last her handk found it's way into the pocket of her husbands adjutant, Lieu tenant Geza von Mattachoch.
 Even In Vienna there are conventionali- ties that must be observed by ladies who desire to remain in good standing at the court, and to keep their husbands and their lovers from spilling each others blood. Whether the princess was suddenly attack ed by the germ of heedlessness that has ruined many fairer women than she, or that, as her friends claim, she purpose!y had her husband notified of her proposed visit to the adiutant's apartments may never be known, but the fact remains that there the prince found her Even this, however, was not considered grounds for divorce. The prince simply thrashed his wife and challenged the lieutenant.
 In the art of fascinating the princess must have been an apt pupil. She was not beautiful and she was the mother of two children, but when she took the lieutenant

leading silver democrats, was very signif1- cant. and that the club would play @ very important part in national politics in the future. Whether the significance to be drawn was that Belmont and other infiu- ential members of the club were going to accept the Chicago platform and come back into the democratic party or whether 1t was that the Chicago platform was to be aban- doned and the party thus be brought to- gether was not indicated
 The activity of the club. however, was enough to give the Bryan people the alarm and to put them on their guard. The an- nouncement of the great Jefferson banquet at which the lions and the lambs and the goats were to be assembled together, has been looked upon with suspicion by some of the Bryan people. It was suspected since this was to be known as a democratic feast, that MT. Bryan was expected by his pres ence to give sanction to the idea that Bel mont and other men to be present who had bolted the Bryan ticket and formed new party in '96 should still be regarded as democrats, without their going through the the principles set forth in the Chicago plat form"
 MT. Bryan's letter is intended to an- nounce that he will not sanction that idea, and Mr. Belmont's reply as clearly indi- cates that he denies the right of any one to question his democracy or to submit 1t to any prescribed test.
 This Is regarded as the first exchange of shots of the battle within the democratic party which is to continue until the meet ing of the convention of 1900, and probably be carried into the convention itself by con- testing delegations.

THE TILT BETWEEN
 BRYAN AND BELMONT
From the Washington Star.

From the Washington Star.
 The very brief correspondence between ". I. Bryan and Perry Belmont, published yesterday, has a very important signif1- canoe It may well be regarded as the opening of the struggle which is to take place within the democratic party over the adoption of the '96 platform by the demo- cratic national convention of l9oo. MT. Bryan and his most faithful followers look with much suspicion and some apprehen- sion upon the sudden revitalizing of the "Democratic Club" in New York city, and its essay to enter into national politics They look upon it as Greek horse, and this shaft was hurled at 1t by MT. Bryan for the purpose of determining whether it is hol- low.
 MT. Bryan and his followers are not will ing to make a sacrifice of the '96 platform in order to let the gold democrats back into the party, and this letter to MT. Belmont Is intended as a notice to every one that adherence to that platform Is to be the test for all who after leaving the party in '96l desire now to be regarded as democrats. The purpose Is to retain control of the party in the hands of those who supported the Bryan ticket at the last presidential election The proposition of bringing all democrats together for an attack upon the present administration with the cry of antitrust or anti-imperialism. or anything else that might serve, has been pretty gen.

And Save Endless Suf- fering which Winter
 Brings.

The most offensive of all dis eases becomes more intense as cold weather approaches. In fact, many who have been under treat ment for so long, and during the summer feel little discomfort from the disease, are almost persuaded that they have been cured. But the first chilling blast of winter proves that the disease is still with them, and as the winter advances, their Catarrh grows in severity. Those who have felt only 0 slight touch of Catarrh may be sure that only cold weather is needed to de- velop the disease. What appears to be only bad cold will prove more difficult to cure than for merly, and will return with more frequency, until before long the disease is fully developed.
 "For years I suffered from severe case of Catarrh, and took several kinds of medicines and used various local ap- plications, but they had no effect what ever. I was induced to try S. 5. 5. (Swift's Specific) and after two months 1 was perfectly well and have never felt any effects of the disease since.
 "B P. MoALIIsTER,
 "Harrodsburg, Ky"
 It is easy to see the importance of prompt treatment for Catarrh.
