Prince Rupert, destined some day
to sit on the throne of Bavaria and de-
clared by the Jacobins to be the right
full (stuart) heir to the English throne,
will visit the United States in 1903.
The one-tine most gay of young
royal prodigs5s, now a sedate married
man, will be accompanied by his wife,
the beautiful Princess Marie Gabrielle.
Their infant son, born in September
last, will probably be left at home.
Prince Rupert is preparing to as
sumo duty as the head of his people
upon the death of his cousin, King
Otto, who is a hopeless imbecile and
has long been confined in an asylum.
When King Otto dies Prince Ludwig,
the father Of Prince Rupert, will alb
dictate in favor of his son. The coun-
try is now ruled by Prince Luitpold,
as regent.
1t is the intention of Prince Rupert
to make a tour of the world, going
first to India, China and Japan, thence
to San Francisco and through the
United States. His Objects to acquire
at first hand a knowledge of the va
rious countries, their people and their
industrial and administrative systems,
with a view to his own future rule of
Bavaria.

World, is SO years old, a stout, demo-
cratic youngman, who has had his fling

spite royal commands, threats and re-

chamber or took part in any of the fes-
Invites of the church the fans were
always in evidence either carried aloft
by a favored pair of noble guardsmen
or allowed to rest against the papal-
throne.
Years ago Mrs. Drexel saw these
fans and coveted them. Almost any
favor asked by this charitable woman
would have been readily granted by
the pope, but the fans were regarded
as too closely associated with the his
tory of the church to be allowed to
leave the vatican. They had been ia
miliar features of Roman Catholic cell
ebrations since the days of Plus TX,
and were hallowed by too many mem
cries lightly to be relinquished, even
at the request of so good a friend of
the church as Mrs Drexel.
Mrs. Drexel was disappointed, but,
not beaten. Year after year, when
visiting Europe, she had audience of
the pope and renewed her plea for the
fans, and at last Leo XIII. gave a re-
luctant consent to the splendid sym
bols being carried off by Mrs. Drexel.
In return the vatican was presented
with another pair of fans, yer more
gorgeous than the old ones, although
lacking the historical interest of those
secured by Mrs. Drexel.
The fans are splendid creations.
The spread is formed Of superb ostrich
plumes, tipped with peacock feathers;
on the sticks, or what would be the
sticks in an ordinary fan, are the papal
arms, worked on a crimson field in
heavy gold, the crown studded with
rubies and emeralds. The embossed
poles that support the great fans when
carried aloft are of crimson velvet. At
the base of the fans an inscription in
Latin records the fact that the presen-
tation was made in commemoration OF
Pope Plus TX. having occupied the
papal throne for a quarter Of a cen
fury.

oats. 1t was his custom to disappear
from Munich or some army post every
low and then, proceed to Paris or
some other equally gay city and have
a registering time with other young
blades and the concert hall %favorites
of the time.
On the occasion of the maneuvers of
the German army at Metz in 1893 the
prince left Munich to join his regiment
at the rendezvous, there to meet the
German emperor. He did not arrive
at Metz, and a search disclosed him in
the company of a young uni at
Wurtemberg. For this he was sem to
a lonely army post and ordered to be
good.

err brother, wa as wild as his brother

a ballet girl, morganatically, thereby
following the example of a rich kins-
man, Duke Ludwig, who, at 60 and a
widower, married Antoine Barth, a
ballet girl, daughter of a Munich me-
chanic, with whom he is very happy.
Prince Luitpold thwarted the plan,
but did not prevent the two from elop-
ing. They were caught in a secluded
retreat in the Alps and were returned
to Munich.
