HE DIED AMONK.
Remarkable Career of a Once Motto
rious Austrian Prince.

The death of Prince Edward of
schoenburg-H artenstein in the monast-
cry of Emmans in Prague serves to re-
call his most remarkable career.
The prince was born in 1868. He en-
tered an Austrian cavalry regiment, and
for a decade ne was notorious as the
widest and most dissipated young
blood in Vienna. Suddenly, at the age
Of 30, when he had reached the rank of
captain and had gained the reputation
of a smart officer. he threw UP his mill
tary career to become a monk.
His remuneration of things worldly
was quite dramatic. He rode direct from
the maneuver field to the monastery,
DOTTED his uniform, broke his sword and
assumed monkish attire. Instead of go
ing through the usual period as a novice
he observed the strictest rules from the
beginning.
The cause of his withdrawal to a
monastery has never been definitely as
certained. One version is disappoint-
ment in love, another that youthful es-
capades weighed so heavily on his con-
science that he resolved in a moment of
acute remorse to do penance for life
The atmosphere of the monastery did
not suit him. and gradually he pinned
away and died at the age of 40. after
ten years sec1usiOn.
Numerous other aristocrats are among
the Benedictines. The present abbot of
the whole order. Hildebrand, was Count
Hemptine. an officer in the Belgian
army; Prince Philip Hohenlohe and
Count d'Avernas are also Benedictine
monks.
The Benedictine nuns include Princess
Schwarzenberg. Princess Liechtenstein,
niece of the reigning Prince Liechten-
stein the Princess of Salm and the
Countess enstein.-London Express.

ROYAL PROGRESSION.

With the president travelling in the
west, and his daughter doing the
bonors in Cuba and Porto Rico, the
daily press dispatches will contain
/. ore than usual of the doings of the
Roosevelt family, which is saying a
good deal
Miss Roosevelt's trip seems to have
developed into sort OF triumphai
march of an American princess,
which. however pleasing it may be
to the young lady, is not at all to the
liking of the American people. II
Miss Roosevelt desired to travel in
a quiet and modest manner, no one
could raise the slightest objection,
although most mothers would pre-
fer not to have a daughter of her age
travelling alone; but it seems to be
III decidedly bad taste for the presl-
cents daughter, still in her teens, to
be aping the antics of royalty by
travelling in special trains to public
receptions and banquets given in her
honor while the appearance of her
carriage is the signal for loud and con-
tinuous cheering from vast crowds of
the natives The attention and flat
terry of which the young lady has
been the recipient has no doubt some
what turned her head, and. indeed,
!, is not to be wondered at; for older
heads than hers have been turned by
much less
