In some ways the present ruler of
Bulgaria is the most interesting of me
royal personages engaged in playing
role in the Near East. He has to be
reckoned with, not only because he is
an astute and INSCRIPTIONS man, but
also because he is imbued by ties of
blood to the whole SaXe-Coburg clan;
that is, to the royal families of Great
Britain, Germany, Portugal, Belgium,
and last, not least, Austria, his sister
being the Archduchess Clotile, wife of
the palatine of Hungary and his niece,
the Duchess of Orleans.
Prince Ferdinand is the youngest of
the five children who were born to the
late Prince Augustus of Saxe-Coburg,
of the Austrian or Kohary branch, and
determined, brilliant daughter of
Louis Philippe, whose brothers nick
named her, even as a girl, Clementine
de Medicis To this remarkable old
French princess, now eighty-fve years
of age and the last survivor among
the group of princes and princesses
who called Queen Victoria by her
Christian name, Prince Ferdinand owes
his untable throne. He is her Benja-
min, born seven years after her eldest
child, her favorite, and in a diplomatic
sense, her own creation. CuriouSly
enough, Prince Ferdinand was the only
one of the Princess Clementine's chill
dren who was born in Vienna. French
influences were lacking in his educa-
ton and upbringing. His godparents
were the tragic couple on whom in
1861 all seemed to smile, Macmillan
and Charlotte; and he was just seven
years old when his imperial godfather
was assassinated in Mexico. During
the years which followed Princess
Clementine consolidated her elder chill
dren's positions by series of brilliant
marriages. Her only daughter, as we
have said, married the Archduke Jo-
