PRINCESS OF PLESS.
Considered by Many the Handsom-
est Woman in Europe.
One of the Most Popular Ladies at the
Courts of England, Germany
and Austria-COmes of Fa-
nous Ancestry.

With one accord Princess Henry of
Pless has been hailed as the belle of
the last season in London. The sister,
in-law of Lady Randolph Churchill and
own sister of the handsome young
duchess of Westminster, with her
masses of light golden hair, her blue
eyes and superb figure, divided with
the duchess Of Marlborough honors at
the recent Anglo-American coronation
bazar. As one of the intimate friends
of King Edward and Queen Alex
andra, as well as on account of her
beauty, she was one of the most court
ed women at the different royal soirees
held during the season, and ordinarily
unbendiHg London hostesses We'd with
each other to secure her presence at
their balls and receptions.
Although the princess is the wife of
German nobleman-she married
Prince Henry in 1S91-and is as vel
come a guest at the kaiser's court as at
that Of Edward VII, she spends by far
the greater part of the year in her
native land. She is the eldest daugh-
ter OF Col. CornWallls West ana ms
handsome wife, all Of whose children
have made brilliant matches.
The duke of Westminster, who chose
as his duchess Princess Henry's young
er sister, Sheila, is, of course, the great
est land owner in London, and one of
the richest men in England. The fam
lily was not over-pleased when George
CORVALLIS West, after being wounded
in South Africa and nursed back to
health on the Maine by Lady Randolph
Churchill, decided to marry his titled
attendant. Their objections were, how
ever, made only on account of the diff
ference in age of the parties" and
the union seems to be a happy one.
Although Princess Henry of Pless
spends comparatively so little time at
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1902-10-23

her husbands castle at Fursten-
stein, she is Immensely popular
with the German people, who, on
account of her delicate beauty,
have named her the fairy prin-
cess" The kaiser dotes on her. As
soon as he heard that she was to have
a stall at the coronation bazaar his
majesty sent her over particularly
choice lot of German chinaware to be
sold, and when William lis Yacht, Me-
teor, was at Cowes last autumn, the
princess and her husband were invited
to use her as if she were their own.
Both the kaiser and King Edward
wanted to be godfather to the princess
only son, so the two monarchs di-
vided the honor, and the proud mother
recompensed them by naming her baby
boy Wilhelm Albert Edward.
The princess, as a true English girl,
both hunts and boats well. Though
means overwhelmed by the rank
brought to her by her marriage, for
she has always been especially proud
of her ancestry. On her fathers side
she traces her pedigree straight back
to Henry III. of England, while on
that of her mother, who was Mary Fitz-
Patrick, granddaughter of the marquis
of Headford, the princess claims de-
cent from the Celtic kings. who, as she
gayly says, "were lording it in Great
Britain when German princelings were
in the robber baron stage"
The family of Prince Henry. who,
by the way, is almost as fond as his wife
of being in England, is, however, of
great antiquity. its present head being
the fifteenth of his line Its history
deals with conquest and diplomacy in
four or five different kingdoms.

LUXURY AS A PLAGUE.
Modern Progress and Prosperity
Have Ushered I'm an Era of High
Living and Extravaganza.

The growth of luxurious living in
America was very slow during the first
so years of the republic. Indeed, uP 10
the breaking out of oCr civil war the
inequalities OF fortune were not so
marked as to make those who lived
sumptuously according to the stand
ards of those days seem so farremoved
from the merely well-to-do as to be al
most in another world. In the earlier
days, any sober and industrious man
could prosper, even though he did not
perform merely manual labor. There
was work for every one to do, and no
one was more in demand than Mr.. Jack
of-all-trades, who now walks superfiu-
Gus in the dusty highway, with no one
to applaud his adaptability, none to
need his ingenious services. Food was
plenty, land was cheap, rents were low.
Be honest and you will be happy, was
not mere cant; it was the solemn and
the grateful truth. Pretty nearly
every one lived well, but pretty nearly
all lived plainly. With better houses.
with better water supplies, with i'm
proved lamps for illumination and
then with the introduction of illum-
mating gas, and most of all with the
greater wealth which came at the end
OF the clVil war, the growth of luXuri-
Gus hVlng began taking tremendous
strides. Luxury with poor light after
sunset, luxury with few of the means
OF personal cleanliness, does not mean
much to us nowadays. Why, man in
Harlem nat at 5000 a year can com
mand more of the kind of luxury just
mentioned than say the dissolute
Charles IL. ever dreamed of. But the
wealth that comes with new fortunes
to new people was really what began
the race which may be called the Mil
honaire Stakes for all ages, says a
writer in Ainslee's Magazine.
Before these stakes were opened
there were few fortunes in this Goun-
try. Some were made in the trade with
the east, some were made in strictly
domestic commerce, some were found
ed IN piracy, and other adventures by
sea, but the greatest number and the
most stable were those which came
from the shreWd investments in land
which was enhanced in value by the
growth of cities. Even up to the time

ADVICE FOR A WAITER
no" Diner Made Sure That the
Man Would Remember Him
NeNt Time

One Chicago man, laboring under
the disadvantage of extreme provo
cation, recently found a novel way
OF informing an arrogant waiter shat
his method of serving was wholly I'M
satisfactory, says the Chicago T;ib-
une.
The meal had been an exasperat;no
one. Whenever the waiter was want
ed he could not be found. When he
was not wanted he was lowering
about the table attempting to hear
what was being said. The host and
his friends had been compelled to
ask emphatically for every accom-
paniment of the meal, even down TO
knives, forks and spoons, so by the
time the coffee and cheese had been
showed aside they were in anything
but a pleasant frame of mind. Still.
throughout the meal the man who
was doing the honors retained his
composure, and did not once find
fault with the waiter in the latter's
presence. But he was reserving his
ammunition for future delivery.
ne dShtu lOE HIS cneck. ne wait
er brought it with gracious bow
and it was paid. Then the host arose
with considerable dignity, and, reach
ing in his pocket, extracted a quar-
ter, which he handed to the anxious
looking waiter.
"Now," asked the host, after he
had paid the customary tip, ''do you
think you would remember me if l
came in here again?'
80, yes, sir, yes, sir, I'm sure I
would replied the waiter, with a
suave smile of satisfaction.
well" continued the exasperated
guest, 81 want you to remember me.
Take one more good look at me, so
you will make no mistake. And if
you ever see me in this place in the
future you will keep just as far away
from me as the walls will allow. If
you should attempt to wait on me
again, l give you fair warning that
I'll bounce one of these oak chairs
off the top of your head"
With this parting shot the out
ragged guest wheeled on his heel and
walked brislly from the place. The
waiter did not recover for half an
hour.

News came at length from the Wawa
that the warning had gotten there in
time; but it was an old squaw that had
brought it, bribed, she said, by young
paleface who had been made prisoner
by her tribe. Weeks afterward Ridg-
ley, escaped from captivity, made his
way back to the fort on foot, very
skeleton in rags.
The garrison was inclined to give
him the welcome of a hero. He had
been badly treated. it was felt, in more
ways than one. But the returned
wanderer was scarcely responsive. His
only interest, though silent one, was
in Kent's broken engagement, and os-
tracism.
"We've changed places" Kent had
said with a short laugh, when they
met. 81 ought to have gone with you,
it seems; though, pom my word, I
don't see what good it would have
done. But I'm outside the pale for It.
You'll have your innings now"

hardly adequate. And it was with the

The girl flushed.

it is almost a pity that you should.

The girl glanced up at him, and then

Ridgley looked out again into the
moonlight. In the shadow of the other

He turned to the girl beside him.
There was never an atom of truth in

The girl stared up at him, scarcely
believing. He glanced across the

you?"
And as the boy stiffly and hesitating-
iy came toward them, Ridgley stepped

doubt the labor from it would be util-
lied by the cotton-growing districts.
The dervishes killed four-fifths of the
population of the Soudan, and it would
naturally take a considerable time be-
fore it could be replaced. The Suakim-
Berber railway would take a couple Of
years to construct. There were Is, OOO,-
600 acres of land suitably irrigated. on
which cotton could be grown. The Sou
dan government was assisting the
work of irrigation as far as possible.
and the land would be let on the verv
easiest terms. Mr.. Newton. the chair
man, read a letter from Sir Alfred
Jones, who stated that Mr.. Chamber
lain was much interested in the empire
cotton-growing question. In a letter
sent through the colonial office, Mr..
Chamberlain said he had sent COPIES
of the associations views to the gov
ernors of Sierra Leone, the Gold Coast
and Lagos, for the consideration of the
suggestion that the cotton for export
should be carried free on the govern
ment railways for two years. Mr.
Chamberlain added that he was clad
to hear that the British Cotton-Grow.
ing association was making such prog.
ress in their efforts to encourage cot.
ton growing in West Africa.

NEW COTTON COUNTRIES.
England and Italy Are Seeking for
Independence of Our Supplies
Some Experiments.

A special meeting was held in Man
chester recently of the Association for
British-Grown Cotton, says the Lon
don Times. Count Gleichen, the secre-
tary of the sirdar in the Soudan, was
present, and delivered an address on
the prospects of growing cotton in
the Soudan. He explained that small
experiments in cotton growing had
been made in the Soudan, and Lord
Cromer was much interested in the
success of the enterprise. Cotton
must have water, and from the re-
gions of the Soudan which were ac-
cessible to the Nile and it's tributaries
supply of cotton could be expected;
in fact, an unlimited supply of cotton
could be grown on the banks of the
Nile. The Suakim-Berber line would
be shortly pushed to completion, and
then cottotn could be brought by rail
from Suakim to the railway terminus,
a distance of 24O miles. Sir George
Cotton pointed out that this distance,
when opened up by the railway, would
be very slight. Cotton was brought
much further in India, and was consid-
cred cheap. Count Gieichen mentioned
that cotton was grown in the Soudan
only in small quantities, the natives
only growing for their own consump-
ton, Among other questions. Count
Gleichen was asked whether there
