Society's Money Lender.
He had made his fortune lending
money at usurious rates OF interest.
For many years he was the society
money lender of London. He never lent
money to poor persons. If they needed
1t greatly, he gave it to them. but he
made this Up from his titled customers
the wives of rich men. and the sons
of wealthy parents. whose prospects were

Once Lewis had made an agreement

equally yscrupulous in seeing that the
other man lived up to his side of the
bargain.
Sympathy Ever With Poor.
But his sympathy was always with the
poor. and he gave away large sums an

occasion he broke the bank at Monte

he distributed among the poverty
stricken OF London.

Peter, Democrat and Socialist,
on the Royal Throne of Serbia
Transformed from Radical of the Red Type to Very
Respectable Representative of Monanhical R1ndpks-,
Rfpate Life; However. Has Undergone No Change.

SO long as it does not conflict with his
democratic convictions.
He rises every morning at five o'clock
and takes drive around the neighbour
hood of Belgrade. accompanied only by
one aide-de-camp. At seven he returns
and is shaved; at eight he begins his
daily work. First of all he receives his
private secretary, who has to submit
to the king his letters and other mail
matter. Next the police project of Bel
grade makes his report to his majesty.
That official has to inform the king of
all occurrences of Importance or inter-
est within the limits Of the city Of Bel
grade.
Next the first aide-de-camp, who at
present also acts as court marshal, and
finally the chief of the royal household,
are received. The latter has to submit
a daily account of all the money expend-
ed on account of the civil list. The king
checks every item most infinitely. At
his suggestion bookkeeping by double
entry has been introduced in the royal
household.
At ten o'clock the king Is generally
visited by his lifelong friend, Col. Mar
quis de Rose, with whom he dis
cusses private affairs. The marquis,
who is at present the kings guest, was
his schoolmate and his comrade in war
Since the colonel retired from the
French service, six years ago, he has
~ c$o~ &1xy~ h Dat KoSr
georgevitch.
After this visit the king receives his
ministers and other persons who have
requested an audience, or he reads the
newspapers-nearly all Of those pub
lished in the Servian language and some
German and French journals.
At 1890 lunch is served for the king,
a meal in which Marquis de Rose and
two of the officers OF the household par
ticipate. The meal is a most simple
affair, and consists mainly of Servian
and French dishes. The king drinks
nothing but mineral water, on account
of an old internal malady, which, how
ever, is now gradually disappearing. At
one o'clock the king retires to his pri-
vate rooms, where he remains until
three, when he again receives his pri-
vate secretary and disposes Of his cor
respondence.
Before dinner his majesty sometimes
takes another drive around the city. Din
ner is served at seven, and seldom &C.
cupies more than one hour. After that
the king is usually occupied with litera-
ture. He reads mostly books on mill
tary or financial subjects. In indus
trial matters, too, he shows lively in.
terest, and does his best to induce for
eign capitalists to invest money in Ser
via. He has no particular leaning
toward any sport except shooting, in
which he is quite an expert.
Peter I. is generally regarded as q
good-natured and energetic man of
strong ruling capacity and admirable
tenacity. 1t will readily be seen that
he combines all the essential qualities
of a good monarch; but his people are
not what he could wish them to be, and
they will yet provide him with many
difficult problem to solve.

e ONE months have now elapsed since
y Peter Karageorgevitch assembled
q the Servian throne as PeterI. Only
q short time ago he was democrat
indeed, almost socialist-by convic-
ton. To-day the Red Peter has been
transformed into a sovereign, a repre-
sentative Of the monarchical princi-
pies!
But Peter Karageorgevitch is a man
who knows how to occupy q throne,
knows how to reign even in an exem-
plary manner, without sacrificing too
much of his former convictions and prin-
ciples. Indeed, King Peter and the RED

modus vivendi on the throne of Servia.
His majesty is one of those monarchs
OF whom the French say: "They reign,
but they do not govern" He is very
prudent man, and shows lively inter-
est in almost every branch of the ad-
minlstration of his little state
He demands the minutest information
about every single action of his minis
tiers, but permits them to act freely and

light harness horse game. II he wanted
I horse and was rightly advised to buy
him, that horse became his property.
Money did not stand in the way of a pur
chase. All the time he was bidding for
the best the market had to offer. He
was not after horses with records estab-
lished close to the coveted mark, but
sought those that gave the greatest prom
ise. He steadily refused to race his
horses for money or to patronize the
betting ring. He could afford to do 1t,
and with Mr. Billings back Of 1t, amateur
racing became in some respects as promi-
nent as the professional features of the
sport.
Mr.. Billings did things handsomely.
He already owned fast horses that had
won honor on the New York speedway,
but he secured Bumps, who outfooted all
rivals to a wagon. He bought Lucille
and Little Boy and established more
wagon records. He conceived the idea
that Memphis was an ideal spot for win
tering horses, and without the promise
Of a single dollar in return he built a
track and stables at Memphis that cost
$500. 900.
He constructed elegant private stables
at his summer home on Lake Geneva,
and put up stable at the end of the New
York speedway that cost him $4,000.

Gen. Won Einem received official pei

mission to add "Von Rothmaler" to his
surname in honor of his father-in-law,
Gen. Won Rothmaler, well-known In
fantry commander, who died In 1880.
The new war minister's career has been
distinguished by series OF unparal-
leled. rapid promotion from one posi-
ton to another. He made uncommon
progress in the cadet academies of both
Bernsberg and Berlin-such notable
progress, in fact, that, though not quail
flied by age to be an officer when the
war with France broke out in 1870, he
was taken and made at once an en-
sign in the Second Hanoverian Uhlans.
In his first campaign his gallantry
gained him the iron cross, and since
then he has gone steadily up the ladder.
He married at 25-much earlier in life
than a German officer generally enters
the married state.
Gen. Won Einem attracted Emperor
Williams most earnest attention during
last years stormy reichstag session,
when, as the spokesman of the war min
lister, Gen. Won Gossler, he was called
on to defend the government against the
constant ard ,itric!ic attacks by the So
cal democrats. These implacable poll
t'clars are preparing to renew their at
tacks IN the coming reichstag with even
greater bitterness. The governments
desire to increase the army and the mil
it:ry budget will be fought tooth and
nail by the reds" while the scandalous
brutalities to private soldiers which
have come to light during the last
three months will give them still more
effective ammunition when they begin
to storm the governments citadel.
The kaiser saw the handwriting on the
wall and when Gen. Won Gossler ten
tered his resignation few weeks ago
Won Eirem, the sturdy debater, became
the inevitable choice for his successor.
The new war minister, while known
in the army as a strict disciplinarian,
bears the reputation ofbeing most
kindly. humane officer and gentleman,
with special regard to the welfare OF
the enlisted man. Many Germans look
to him with hope as the most likely man
in the army to bring about that COM
munity of spirit between officer and man
that mutual respect which is founded
on something else than contempt or
lear-which is the one thing lacking to
make the kaiser's powerful legions the
ideal soldier organization OF the world.

HERMITAGE IS SAVED.
Nashville, Tenn, to Keep Old Andrew

The old Hermitage, which witnessed
the life of one of the most picturesque
of the nations chief executives, is safe.
The people of Nashville are breathing
sigh of relief, for the home of Andrew
Jackson is In their possession, and the
spirits of the old times in wandering

1t was through the efforts Of the L.
dies Hermitage association Of Nash
Vile, that the Hermitage has been re-
stored to the condition in which it was
at the tine of the generals death. The
beautiful grounds with, their velvet
lawns and big trees, the wide driveway.
along which ME coaches rolled to the
door of the mansion, are all unchanged
from the time when it was the home Of
