she once proudly said. HE would have
remained a colonel without a regiment,
but procured for him the command of the
Eighth and raised for him the Sixty
eighth regiment"
The regiment to which she referred to
was the Eighth New York, and the chief
object of her visit to this country is TO
present to the men who followed her hus-
band the colors that were carried so brave
ly through the war. That they at least will
give her royal welcome there can be no
shadow of doubt.
At the conclusion of the civil war the
Prince and Princess Salm-Salm spent some
time in Washington but they finally went to
Mexico and joined their fortune with that
of Macmillan. Again the princess showed
her devotion to her husband by remaining
near him, and when the cause of the EN-.
peror fell they left Mexico and went to
Europe. A few years later the prince died,
and the princess grieved for him so sorely
that, although scarcely more than 80 years
OF age, Der hair soon turned gray. At that
time she decided to enter a convent and
she went to Rome to obtain the advice of
the pope
The Holy Father received her kindly and
listened to the story of her sorrow He
finally told her, however, that he did not
believe that she was fitted for religious
life. and suggested that she think the mat

fess 1t affords me even malicious pleas
ure to disappoint, in this respect, numner
of persons who for years have taken the
trouble of inventing the most romantic ana
wonderful stories In reference to my youth,
taxing their fancy to the utmost to take
revenge on me for my silence. May they
do so; their benevolent suggestions VIII
not induce me to dispel by plain and dry
reality the romantic cloud in which they
have wrapped my YOUTH"
With these words the Princess Salm-
Salm dismissed the subject that had so
long been of interest, and she is, therefore,
almost as great mystery today as she was
when. as a girl, her attractive personality
and winsome manner won for her lLe
hearts of the men of Washington and the
hand of one of the sons of a proud German
house.
The age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1897-1902, 1899-04-23

While the Princess Salm-Salm is almost
unknown to the present generation her
name awakens the most pleasant memoir
les for those who can remember as far
back as thirty or forty years ago and the
report that she Is to return to the land of
her birth this summer will tend to arouse
much interest in this strange woman who
was one of the first of the American prin-
cesses.
When Emma Arnold kissed Lieutenant
Hobson she set fashion that has been fol-
lowed by many women since last summer
but her method of rewarding heroism,
original as 1t may have seemed, was not
original. Years ago President Lincoln was
"Hobsonized" and it was the Princess
Salm-Salm who invented this method Of
showing popular appreciation of great
man.
At this time the princess was one of the
most beautiful women in Washington and
In spite of the mystery with which she
cloaked her identity she was one of the
leading spirits in society at the capital.
One evening she made a wager with an
officer of the army that she would kiss
the president before a month had passed.
She won the wager, for few evenings
later she swept down upon him as he sat
The age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1897-1902, 1899-04-23

at a banquet table and kissed him square,
ly on the mouth.
The president was naturally very much
surprised, but he took this token of esteem
30 good naturally that every woman in the
room followed her example. Mrs. Lincoln
was very angry. She never forgave the
young woman for this piece of reckless
audacity and she never again called her
by her title of princess" always referring
to her as that Mrs. Salm."
The president, however, did not look up
on the matter SO seriously, and the follow
ing verses in commemoration of the event.
which were current in Washington at that
time, were accredited to his pen:
The Princess Salm-Salm is a remarka-
BILE woman, and the story of her life, or SO
much OF it as Is known, reads more like
fiction than like fact. She first appeared
in Washington as Agnes Laclerg, and while
she frankly admitted that this was an as
sumed name this did not prevent her from
becoming the idol of society. She was
bright and witty, quick at repartee.
She was the mistress of several foreign
languages and was possessed of all the
graces and accomplishments that wealth
and culture could beStow upon a young
woman; but beyond this she was more
beautiful than all the beautiful women who
filled Washington at this time, and these
attractions soon won for her the hearts of
half the men and the hatred and ill-will of
all the women.
Who she was nobody knew. She has.
since proved that she was born in Vermont
of good Plymouth stock, her ancestors hav-
ing come over with Governor Winthrop in
1890. They afterwards fought in the Rev.
dictionary war and were active in the ear
ly history of New England.
All this was not known in Washington
where it was said that she had run away
fl ON the restraints of home to join cir
Gus, where bareback riding with it's ac-
compartment of gauzy dresses and tinsel
and light satisfied her craving for excite
ment. From bareback riding she turned
her attention to tight rope walking, and
in 1858 she was at the height of her fame
as one of the most daring performers.
A few years later she appeared in Wash
ington where she soon commanded great
influence There she met and married
Prince Salm-Salm, young German officer
who had obtained a commission in the
American army, and she remained near
her husband during the entire civil war,
distributing relief to starving southern
families, directing the hospital work, at
tending to the ordering OF supplies, dress
ing wounds and often emptylhs her purse
to find comfort for the sick or Woun,.s@
soldiers.
Everyone loved her, and it was largely
to her influence that her husband owed his
military achievement. my husband made
me princess, but made him general

THE FINNISH PEOPLE

From the Chicago Times-Herald.
The following is a translation of the ap-
peal of the Finnish people to Gar Nicho-
las against the abolition of their ancient
rights. It was signed by 522941 Firms, be-
ing 52.4 per cent. = the inhabitants of
Finland over II years of age who are en-
titled to sign such a document:

to participate in the legislation was for

right has been developed and further ar
ranged by the late Emperors Alexander

But according to the fundamental stat
utes which have been issued, together with
the edict, the diet would no longer be
permitted to participate in the legislation,
with determining veto in such errands
which afe declared as concerning also the
interests of the imperial iGealm, but which
according to the fundamental laws belong
to them. Ii is the corner stone in our con-
;stitutional edifice which thus is being dis
placed by the ediet.

ously advanced in prosperity and mental
culture. The people have faithfully sought
to fulfill their duty to their monarchs and

country of late has had enemies in Russia
who by defamations have sought to Gre
ate suspicion against the loyalty and hon.

also that these defamations only are pro-
ducts of falsehood.
There does not exist country where
the respect for law and authority is deeper
rooted than in Finland. During the ninety
years of her union with the mighty Rus

she was a child, has enabled her to spend
her life In comparatively luxury. She has
lived these years very quietly, however,
going into society but seldom, although
the princes family have often urged her to
become one of their circle and she has al
ways been welcome at the court OF Aus
tria.
In spite of her high position the Princess
has never told the story of her early lie.
Many years ago she published her diary,
but this volume had to do chiefly with her
experiences as her husbands companion
during his military career in the armies OF
the United States and Mexico. In speak
