BAND PRINCE HENRY OF PRUSSIA, AN UNUSUALLY HAPPY

order to receive his dying blessing.
Princess Irene has three boys, the eldest Of
whom. Prince Waldemar, is now twelve years Of
age and holds the rank Of lieutenant in the
army as we'll as in the navy to which latter
branch OF service he is to devote his future
career. Prince and Princess Henry have their
home at Kiel, where the Princess is able to en-
joy her taste for yachting to her hearts con-
tent, and it may safely be asserted that there
is no woman in Germany who is able TO handle
a boat so clevery even in the stiffest kind of
weather as the consort of Prussias sailor Prince.
They make their headquarters in what is known
as the old "schloss." palace. which was built
away back in the thirteenth century. and en-
larged by Empress Catherine III of Russia in the
eighteenth century. and is now very comfor-
table and at the same time stately residence,
far more homelike. indeed. that the majority of
royal palaces. Kiel is the great naval arsenal
and stronghold of the German Empire well
as the headquarters of the German yachting
world Owing to this. there is an essentially
maritime flavor about it's society which looks
for direction and guidance to the Prince and
Princess. and which centres around them. In
deed the tone which prevails is characterized by
cordiality, straightforwardness. and ''po-
rtesse de cceur" which presents a pleasing con-
trast to the insincerty and somewhat hollow
courtesy of court life and of the great world at
Berlin. The Princess never forgets that she is a
sailors wife, and in consequence of this displays
a pronounced sympathy for the wives and
daughters of men who belong TO the same pro-
fession as her husband. She takes interest
in their welfare. and is the active head of in
Vulnerable institutions and undertakings-many
of which she has founded-which are devoted to
the welfare moral and material. of seafaring
men and of their families. Like her three sis
ters she is utterly devoid of affectatiOn and of
pose has horror for everything in the nature
of humbug and of cant. and is simple and
assuming in her manner that Admiral Robley
Evans describes in his book how he talked with
her for half an hour under the impression that
she was the wife of naval officer of his own
rank Che was captain at the time). and never
learned until afterward that she the con-
sort of Prince Henry and the sister-in-law Of
two emperors, namely, of Germany and of Rus
sia.
The Kaiser. as well the Kaiserin, are very
fond of her, and have the highest regard for
her sound sense, her tact her Cleverness and,
above all. for her levelheadedness. The En-
press indeed, has many tastes and interests in
common with her. and they get along splendidly
together while William delights in paying sur
prise parties to his sster-in-law and brother at

as the most intimate friend Of Prince Louis Of
Hesse Small wonder, then that the combatants
on both sides yearned for a termination of the
conflict, and universal was the gratitude
when at length peace was restored that it was
resolved to sgnalize It's conclusion by giving the
name of Irene. which means peace" to the little
princess whose christening conceded with the
end of the war. 1t was on this account that
Princess Irene throughout her girlhood was
known as the ''Fredenskind," or Child of
Peace"
Princess Irene lost her mother at the age of
twelve, yet seems to be- of all the daughters Of
Princess Alice of Great Britain the one who has
inherited in the largest measure the cleverness.
the tact and the loveliness of character Of the
lamented Grand Duchess, who, II may be remem-
beTed, succumbed 10 attack of diphtheria
which she he'd caught while kissing her dying
child, the little Princess May. Queen Victoria
and the late Empress Frederick between them
took charge of the four motherless girls. and
from that time forth until her marriage Irene
may be said to have spent most of her time
either with her grandmother in England, with
whom she was a particular favorite. else
with her aunt, the Empress Frederick. She hap
pened almost invariably to be with the latter
when Henry returned home from his cruises
and in this way developed the interest and ef-
fection for her young sailor cousin which event.
ually ripened into love. Her sentiments were re-
ciprocated with interest by the Prince, who be-
came more and more infatuated with the hand
some and accomplished girl. who. while thor
oughly feminine nevertheless so superb an
equestrienne and sure shot. Her skill with
horses and remains altogether remarkable.
She is a splendid whip. and she seems to possess
a strange influence over the horses, which en-
ables her TO reduce the most difficult to
subtection with little apparent effort. Both
the Emperor and Empress Frederick de-
lighted when Prince Henry announced that he
determined to make Irene his wife, and
gladly gave their consent. But Frederick had
not at that time succeeded TO the throne, and
the match found a determined opponent in the
person of Prince Bismarck, who objected to It,
first of all because it pleased Empress Freder-
ick that is TO say, the woman whom he regard
ed his most powerful antagonist, and second
the ground OF the close relationship between
the young people. 1t the latter plea that
he put forward in persuading old Emperor Will

was not until Frederick had succeeded TO the
throne and was near to the end of his brief reign

the ceremony being the dying and speechless

FEARFUL OF wHITECAPs
Senator Thornton, OF Monticello who represents
the XXVIth Senate District of this State found
notice his desk recently which first gave him
the impression that his life was in danger The
notice on examination proved to be a pamphlet
addressed TO the Senator from some prominent
citizen of the of Norwich. but what espe-
cially startled the Senator these inscriptions

The Senator from the XXVIth District puzzled
his head over the threa tening words for some
time, and then. his alarm grew greater, he
called Senator Davis OF Buffalo. aside, and asked:
What do you think of that. George? What

SHE ENJOYS THE UNIQUE
DISTINCTION OF HA WING
SOJfE THOUSANDS OF
CODA THEIRS.

IL is greatly to be regretted that Prince Henry
should leave his wife at home on the occa-
sion Of his visit to the United States. For there
is no doubt that the popular interest displayed
throughout this country in his trip across the
Atlantic TO the New World would have been
vastly increased had he been accompanied by
his popular and clever consort There few
scions of European royalty more happily married
than the Kaiser's sailor brother. or whose home
life is more free from any kind of cloud or even
shadow. Indeed. Princess Irene has played so
important yet unobtrusive a role in the career
OF her husband that the sketches which have
Deen published concerning him seem incomplete
without pen portrait Of his wife.
Princess Irene enjoys the singular and. l be-
lieve the altogether unique distinction Of having
about four thousand godfathers. Born in course
of the Of 1866, her father Prince Louis of
Hesse, requested the officers and men OF the
Hessian regiments forming part of the cavalry
brigade under his command to stand sponsors

took place after the termination of the hostl-
ities. deputations of officers, non-commssioned
officers and men from each regiment pres
ent in order to express in the name OF their re-
spective corps the readiness OF the latter to as
sumo the customary spiritual. moral and ma
terial obligations toward their godchild. 1t was
very sad war. and it is possible that the fact
of her advent into the world having been made
while il in progress is in some way ac-
countable for the fact that she is more serious
minded and less given 10 frivolity than the ma
5ority of royal women 1t a still
more fratricidal than that in this country be-
tween the North and the South some forty years
ago. For it not merely that people of the
same nationality were arrayed in arms against
one another but that brothers and even fathers
and sons found themselves face to face on bloody
battlefelds. Thus. Princess Irene's father Prince
Louis. was compelled by reason of the fact that
the Grand Duchy of Hesse had thrown in its lot
with Austria to lead the Hessian cavalry against
Prussia, while his younger brothers whose en-
tire military careers had been spent In the Prus-
sian army, remained true to the flag to which
they had sworn allegiance, and fought in the
Jorussfan ranks against Austria and her Hessian
aliy Moreover one OF the principal Prussian
commanders was the father of Prince Henry.
