STORIES OF ROYALTY
The Kaiser's Consideration for Former
 ComraGe.

\ rather pretty story. Of a character
 to promote his popularity. is current
 about the German Emperor. At the grand military maneuvtrs near Stet,in
 the other day he caught sight of a familiar face in the front range of the spectators. It WAS that Of thr troop sergeant uf his troop of Hussars Gf the
 Guard when ha joined that regiment as , a lieutenant The kaiser beckOned the white-hared old soldier toward him, 1 shook him warmly by the hand. and then caused him to walk for a short
 distance beside his horse at the head
 of the cortege of sovereigns and royal
 and imperial pIin las, talking in the
 most kindly fashion to him all the | time. On tha old fellow mentioning in response to an inquiry of the emperor that age had ren 1ered him a bit stiff jOinted, and that he was not able to
 get about quite as easily as formerly.
 the kaiser gave directions to an aid-de camp that one of his own spare char gers should be placed al the disposal of the eX-sergeant for the day. in order
 that he might have an opportunity of
 witnessing the entire military operations without fatigue. That is how 1t hap , pened that an old soldier wearing the uniform of a veteran nOn-commiS@lonej
 officer of the Hussars of the Guard was { observed riding in the procession of royal psrsOnages and great dignitarles with the emperor on one of the latters horses. throughout the whole day The ! eX-sergeant's name is Grabert. and it
 is needless to describe the pride and
 satisfaction with which the old warrior , subsequently, described the recognition and the gracious kindliness of his f)r mer troop officer. the kaiser
 i It has been decided that Prince Eu- | pert of Bavaria and his bride married ] lately. should establish their residence and their court in the old cathedral
 town of Bamberg, instead of at Munich. i and tha announcement has been a source of great satisfaction to the i'eo-
 ple of Bavaria. who always complained l Of the disposition of their reisning ! house to conGreG3te at Munich without i permitting the population outside the | metropolitan district to come into per | soaal contact with them. Indeed, the ] reason why the ducal and nOn-reigHing | branch of the sovereign house of Wit 1 tclsbach has always been in closer | touCh with the people anl has occupied | a warmer spot in their hearts than the | senior branch is precisely becausa it's members have not restricted themsal- { yes so exclusively to Munich. but have | spent the greater portion of the year m l the highlands. notably, on the shores of | the Tegernsee.
 Bamberg is a grand old place. three miles above the Junction of the Main l with the RegnitZ, while within sight of | the city is the canal connecting the | Danube and the Main. The royal cou- pie. who are destined in course of time l to ascend the throne of Bavaria. will | use the palace of the former prince ! bishops close to the superb cathedral as their town residence. It is a plain 1 building erected in 1895. and a cross painted on the wall immediately below | one of the topmost windows marks the 1 pla Q whence the first Napoleon's fam
 ous marshal. Berthier. Prince of Neuf- 1 chatel. hurled himself to his death after ! the battle of Waterloo.
 ] The summer residence of Prince Ru- | pert and Princess Gabrielle will be the
 old castle of Ranz. perched on wool | ed height a few miles distant. IL was 1 originally very celebrated Benedictine l abbey, founded just a thousand years ago. and contains a valuable Collection ! of Egyptian antiquities picked up by old Duke Max Of Bavaria. father of the | late empress of Austria. during his trips 10 the orient.
 There is To doubt that the young couple will derive benefit. not merely from coming into closer contact with
 the people of the provinces, but likewise through escaping from the somewhat demoralizing atmosphere of court life which prevails at Munich. due to the
 court making it's headquarters there
 for several hundred years past.
 It is officially announced at vienna
 that the financial difficulties of King
 Leopold's eldest daughter. Princess
 Louise of Coburg. Duchess of Saxony.
 have at length been settled and that in
 consequence thereof legal proceedings
 against her have been abandoned. Her
 Gehts have amounted to the sum of
 $3.000 coo. and these have bsen settled
 on the following basis: All claims
 under $1000 have been paid in full. 1
 while the creditors for larger amounts
 have d received a dividend of 9 per
 ''ill- III casa. on the understanding
 that they are free to claim the balance
 from the princess only in the event of i
 her becoming poss7 7ssed of property i
 through inheritance or gifts.
