EMPEROR WILLIAM A TRUE FRIEND.

Emperor Williams attendance at the
funeral of Herr Krupp and his remarks on
that occasion furnish another illustration
he first came to the throne the world was
disposed to misjudge his character and
underrate his ability. He was generally
regarded as ''bumptous'' sort of person,
addicted to posing and with much higher
conception of his own merits than any
body else was likely ever to have. This
estimate of him has undergone a great
change and he is now regarded as the most
independent, sagacious, farsighted and
probably the ablest of old world rulers.
The most remarkable thing about the
Emperor's attendance at Herr Krupp's
funeral was his presence there at all. 1t is
a remarkable thing for royalty to attend
the funeral of a private citizen, and Herr
Krupp was not only a private citizen. but,
according to the European standard. a
mechanic and a tradesman. His great
wealth did not change his social status
in country where pedigree. rank and title
count for more in the estimation of the
ruling class than personal character or
merit. The members of this class would
probably have thought it a high honor to
the deceased gunmalSer if the Emperor
had sent Il member of his staff to represent
him, with, perhaps, a perfunctory message
of sympathy to the family. Instead of that,
he attended in person. saluted as the coffin
was lowered into the vault, contributed the
most costly of all the floral offerings, and
delivered an address which does him the
highest possible honor 1t was much for
an Emperor to say that he had often en-
joyed the hospitality of one of his I'M
titled subjects and had "felt the influence
of the deceased's charm and affability. -
1t was fine for him TO put himself on the
status of a personal friend and to say. 81
therefore felt that / could not but attend
his funeral. for considered it my duty to
stand beside the widow and daughters of
my friend" Then followed his defense of
Herr Krupp against the libelous charge
which precipitated his death The EN-
pcror's allusion to the circumstances was
tactful. Certain special circumstances
which attended the sad event." he said
| ''impelled me as the supreme head OF the
empire to be present here in order to hold
the shield of the German Emperor over the

Herr Krupp and a fiery denunciation OF
