DIRTY ROYAL LINEN
AIRED IN DIVORCE SUIT
Princess Alice and Her Husband
Told Scandalous Stories About
Each Other.

DRESDEN, Dec. 25-Prince Frederick of
Schoenburg- Waldenburg. who defended in
divorce proceedings brought by his wife,
the Infanta Alice of Spain. daughter of
the Pretender Don Carlos, wished it to be
known that il was he who demanded the
divorce, and not the princess. He likewise
insisted that he was completely innocent
of originating the story to the effect that
she had eloped with her Italian coachman.
a report which she denOunces as stupid
invention"
The infanta, when she heard of this story,
at once returned TO Dresden with her broth
er, Don Jaime, and issued a statement, pub
lished far and wide. to the effect that the
elopement report was piece OF villainy
on the part of her husband, whom she ac
cused of not only the grossest kind Of mis-
conduct but also of having imprisoned her
in her apartments and of having repeatedly
beaten her. These assertions were indorsed
by her brother, Don Jaime.
Ii was in reply thereto that Prince
Schoenburg- Waldenburg came out with a
letter to the press, countersigned by his
legal advisers, in which he declared that
ii is not she, the infanta, who demanded
the divorce, but he himself, and that the
courts had already in their possession, along
with other testimony furnished by him. a
confession written and signed by his wife,
admitting to her husband and to his law
yers, not merely that she had been guilty
of misconduct. but, moreover, that her son
was not the offspring of her husband.
On the strength of this confession the
trustees of the Schoenburg- Waldenburg
estates, and the representa- tives of the var
i0us branches of the princely house have
inaugurated proceedings for the purpose Of
debarring the little boy, eighteen
months old. from any claim upon the fam
lily property and from the right of bearing
the title and name of Prince Schoenburg-

WHY PACIFIC CABLE
DOES NOT PAY EXPENSES
Too Much Dignity and Red Tape
Attached to Its Work
ings.

LONDON. Dec. 2o.-The comparative fail
ure of the new Pacific cable is explained
in an interview with the general manager,
Mr.. Reynolds, published in the Melbourne
Age. Mr.. Reynolds was asked why the
board failed to manage the cable on COM
monplace principles. He replied that the
board were trustees for a number Of gov
ernments, not the managers of a COM
mercial undertaking. They were unable to
do things which a private company was
able to do. He emphasized the necessity
of maintaining the dignity of the govern
ments owning the cable, a necessity which
made them cautious where a private COM
pany would meet the wishes of clients. Mr.
Reynolds. who is shortly returning to Lon
lon, admits the justice of many of the
complaints by Australian customers. and
promises to- report the position to the
board.
The Pacific cable has been worked at
a loss ever since 1T was opened for traffic.
For the year ending March 81, 1903, there
was a deficit of G119O0 which was made
good by a treasury grant.

ROMANCE OF THE LATE
WAR IN SOUTH AFRfCA
Story of a Hungarian Nobleman
Who Fought on the Side Of the
Beers During Conflict.

VIENNA, Dec. Pa curious echo of the
recent war in South Africa has just been
heard. making known very romantic
story. Five years ago Baron Aczel. a
young Hungarian nobleman, quarreled
very seriously with his father. and in conse-
quence disappeared from Buda Pesth, leav-
ing no clue either as to his whereabouts or
his intentions Shortly after his disappear
ance his father died, and, having repented
of his anger towards his son, left him all
his belongings.
The widow caused extensive inquiries to
be made as TO the whereabouts of her son,
and at last, after years of research she
discovered that young man answering
his description had fought on the side Of
the Beers during the Transvaal war
Thereupon the baroness sent two detec-
tives TO South Africa, where they spent
many months in an apparently fruitless
search.
Finally, however, just as they were on
the point OF relinquishing their quest, they
heard OF a baron who was lying danger
ously i'll in a hospital in the Transvaal
They set off post haste to the place, and
discovered that the patient was the man
they sought. Every attention was lavished
upon him, and ultimately he was restored
TO health. AS soon as he is strong enough
to travel he will return to his mother and
ancestral estate.

THE BUDDHIST CHRIST.

THE BUDDHIST CHRIST.
OF the Prince Guatama. whom the Budd-
hists revere as a Christ, Mr. Tissera says:
1.-The story is about as follows: Even in
the homes of Christians, the picture of
Prince Guatama may be found hang
ing on the walls, together with
that of Christ. The Prince was
of noble lineage He was kept in Sc
clusion by his parents until he attained to
manhood. The best education that India
could afford in philosophy and the arts,
was his. He was married and, when he
became twenty-one years of age, for the
first time. taken in carriage about the
city of his nativity The city was in gala
attire. The prince saw nothing but hap
pinesS and rejoicing. Later, unknown to
his parents he went out into the city again,
unannounced He saw suffering and mis-
cry, beggars asking for aims TO alleviate
pain and hunger. 1t was Il revelation to
him. He began to study cause and effect
happiness and sorrow He left wife, par
ents and home and went into the jungle to
concentrate his mind upon the great prob
lens he was working out. After a long

Yogie sect of very high class and preached
in parallels and performed marvellous
works. AS Christ told the rich young man

peared from view of His people, as the
