NOT HARD TO TREAT /
Kings and Queens Submissive in
Doctors Hands.
German Emperor and king Of Eng
land Are What Might he Called
Ideal Patients -Cxar and
Sultan the Reverse.

Very seldom in his interesting career
has the kaiser been placed so much at the
mercy of the doctors as during the past
few weeks, and there is every reason to
believe that the state OF affairs which
SO unfortunately happened is intensely
disagreeable to his majesty in particu-
lar. He, like the late Queen Victoria,
has a considerable belief in his own pow
ers of STAYING off illness through sheer
force of will, and when these methods
have failed is inclined to receive the
medical men with somewhat bad grace.
Yet one OF the physicians describes
him as being good and even enthusi-
astic patient" that is to say, when once
he sees there is nothin-; for it but thor
ough course of trea' :nent and calm
submission to whatever is ordered, he
carries out Instructions to the small
est detail and with the most scrups
ulous regard for being thorough.
his doctors said some time ago,
that he is at times somewhat embar-
RAISING. His majesty cross-examines
everybody in attendance on the intrica-
cies of his ailment, and winds up by
sending for book about it, which he
studies with the utmost care. The next
time the doctors come he, with smile,
often suggests an alternative treatment,
''as in the case of So-andso, with which,
of course, you are familiar, doctor" II
the kaiser finds himself laid up for
day or two the first thing which occupies
his attention, after his treatment is set
tied, is the Encouragement of his plans
of work and the division of his time, so
that as little of it as possible shall be
wasted. Of course, hitherto the all
ments which have afflicted him have
been comparatively tritling.
The kaiser and King Edward are un-
doubtedly the two best patients, from
the doctors point of view, amongst the
monarchs Of Europe. The latter, whose
brave bearing during his severe illness Is
months ago will forever be remembered,
always persists in regarding any indis-
position from which he is suffering as
of the most trifling character possible.
When completely in the doctors hands
he encourages them in every way to
treat his case with that same lack of

in the Philippines, for it is believed
that such body will be strong con-
! servator of peace and will do much
to discourage future revolutionary
| movements.
The question of the withdrawal of
the friars, at the outset the most i'm
portant connected with this problem,
has, it is said at the war department.,
practically settled ITSELF OF the great
body of friars in the Philippine islands
at the outbreak of the war with Spain
only 200 odd are said to have re-
manned, and nearly all Of these are in
Manila, almost objects of charity
These are as anxious in most cases
to get away from the islands as those
who, maintaining them at some sacrt-
fee, are anxious to have them 60. OF
few who remain, it is felt that their
power to further embarrass the future
relations of the government and the
people in the Philippines has disap'
peared.
It is not doubted that the president
and Secretary Root will approve Gov.
Taft's arrangement, particularly as it
appears that the people of the United
States are not to be charged with any
of the money required to buy friars
lands.
In all Catholic church quarters Gov.
Taft and Archbishop Guidi are being
warmly congratulated on their Sue
cess in solving the most intricate OF
the questions intrusted to tl4eir diplo"
macy. The excellent impression pro-
duced by Gov. Taft during his So
journ in Rome in the spring Of 1902

The president has selected William L.

HOT TIME OUT WEST.
United States Senator indicted by
Federal Grand Jury.
Charged with Tramcking In the Ap-
pointment Of POstma sters-Ac-
cused Ohicial Denies Claims
OF His Enemies.

When the federal grand jury sitting
at Omaha returned three indictments
on November 16 against United States
Senator Charles H. Dietrich, of Nebras-
ka, charged with trafticking in the ap-
pointment of postmasters, it established
a record which has never been eQualed.
Never before in the history Of the coun-
try has a United States senator been
officially accused of selling government
positions.
= The specific charge in this case was
that Senator Dietrich had accepted a
bride in connection with the appoint
ment of Jacob Fisher as postmaster at
Hastings, Neb., and also with conspir-
ing against the United States in connec-
ton with the same case.
Rumors began to be circulated more
than a year ago that all was not right
with Mr.. Dietrich's appointments. 1t
was said that Postmaster Fisher, of
Hastings, had even complained that his
appointment had cost SO much money
that he could not afford to contribute to
the regular campaign fund. Several
other appointments in the South Platte
country, which is Mr.. Dietrich's recog
nized district, were said to have been
made for money.
These rumOrs became so strong that
they finally attracted the attention of
the federal grand jury. The appoint
ment of Jacob Fisher as postmaster at
Hastings was the first case presented to
the grand jury.
The New York Herald says that evil
dence before the grand jury was to this
effect: Mr.. Dietrich owned building
in Hastings which he wished to rent to
the government for 81, 800 annually. He
negotiated with the department on these
terms, but the postmaster, Hahn, re-
fused to approve the contract. Later
the rental was lowered to $1,000 year,
after which Mr.. Hahn approved and
signed the agreement, with the addi-
tional proviso that Mr.. Dietrich should
provide the Office furniture at his own
expense.
Jacob Fisher, who was an applicant
for the post Office, was informed that he
could have the appointment provided he
would purchase the post-otfice furniture,
which must be left in the room on his

hesitation which they would display If
he were not king, bit merely subject.
He carries out all their orders to the
letter, and, desiring to take as pleasant
view as he can of the circumstances,
insists on having only cheerful people
about him. Sir Francis Laking, whose
optimism and cheerful good-nature are
notorious, is great favorite of his.
The king Of Italy is generally regarded
by the medical profession Of his native
country as an excellent patient, too, and
his ailments are few nowadays, notwith-
standing his very weakly youth. Both
these happy circumstances his doctors
attribute in large measure to the very
rigorous treatment to which his military
tutor submitted him as boy, though
surprise is sometimes expressed that
this treatment did not kill him.
Queen Wilhelmina of Holland gives
her doctors a lot of trouble. She says
che "hates DOCTORS" and she will never
endure their attentions except when alb
solutely obliged, and then they have to
take unusual preparations to see that
their instructions are carried out. The
story is told that one time, when the
queen had evinced marked disinclina-
ton to see a doctor on certain occa-
sion, and on his entering the room I'M
der pressure from the queen-mother had
exclaimed that If he advanced she
would scream, the medical mans calm
answer was that he could not help her
screaming while he was advancing, but
he humbly begged to say that out of re-
gard for his duty to his sovereign and
his own reputation it would be neces-
sary for him to administer something
which would make screaming impossi-
BILE as soon as he reached her. .-.
Both the car of Russia and the sultan

almost intolerable. He has even gone

ordered by one doctor should be
analysed and tasted by another

animal, but the hare made q dash for

OPINION Is DIVIDED
Rome Stirred Up by Alleged Mar
riage Of Dowager Queen.
Rumor Has It That Margherita Now
IL the MOrganatic Wife of an
Untitled Engineer The
rs Facts in the Case.

The reported mOrganatic marriage OF
Dowager Queen Margherita to an en-
gineer named Tenerani is causing no
small stir in Rome.
The New York World correspondent
at Rome has made exhaustive personal
inquiries on the subject, and the follow
ing are the full facts of the case.
The alleged bridegroom is widely
known, being the son of the late Sig.
Tenerani, noted sculptor, after whom
street was named. His family is COM
paratively wealthy
The World correspondent called at
Tenerani's house and saw one of the
Misses Tenerani. She was so Hurried
and agitated by the news that she could
say nothing beyond denying the allega-
ton that her brother was young Don
Juan.
Instead of being a hansome young
man of "a, Tenerani is we'll over 50
years of age. He first had the honor OF
approaching her majesty in regard to
the annual exhibition of fine arts, at
which his father has been constant ex--

tee, it often was his duty to escort Queen
Margherita. After that he called at the
Quirinal, and gradually became the dis
Greet channel through which her mai
esty distributed private charities.
This circumstance began to give rise
to court gossip, as Tenerani, handsome
man of commanding appearance, was
admitted to the queens presence even
when others socially and politically far
more important were excluded.
When King Humbert was assassinated
the bereaved queen made no secret Of
the comfort she derived from Tenerani's
presence and ministration. She after
ward devoted most of her time to
travelling and yachting, when Tenerant
was her constant companion, although
he was invested with no official
capacity.
He even was known to have had high
words with the queen gentleman-in-
waiting, Marquis Guiccioli, who resent
ed his presence. But the queen would
never allow Tenerani to be sent away.
What brought this state of things
prominently before the public of late
was Queen Margherita's recent voyage
to the arctic regions. Tenerant was her

manent, for he sacrifices large business
interests to undertake the work.
The new minister was originally from
Ohio and represented the state as an
agriculturist commissioner at the
worlds fair at Chicago. He was ap-
pointed by President Cleveland United
States minister to Buenos Ayres. His
record at that point was so satisfactory
that President Mckinley continued him
at his post for several years after his
accession to Office.
Mr. Buchanan next became director
general of the Pan-American exposition
at Buffalo, and since the close OF that
enterprise he has been engaged in pri-
vate business. He also has been looking
after certain interests of the st. Louis
exposition.

the popularity she enjoys in Italy for
any consideration.
Her confessor, Father William Whit
NEE Taliottine, Of the Fathers Of San
Silvestro, an Englishman, was inter-
& viewed by the World correspondent IN
regard to the rumor, and pronounced it
a mere newspaper canard. He thinks
the queen incapable of such a step.
But in court circles-which are no.
toriously Observation-Disclosures Marghe-
rita is by no means regarded as par
agon of sanctity.
It is we'll known that her marriage was
arranged by diplomacy and that there
was not a spark of love on either side.
And when the succession was assured
King Humbert made no secret of his re-
lations with Countess Hercolani, Prin-
cess Ginetti and others, while the queen
devoted herself to music and art. The
latter led to her acquaintance with Ten
erani.
There is nothing in this royal romance
to Justify any aspersion on the fame of
Queen Margherita. Although there
have been stories about her from time to
time, they have always come from hos
tile sources.
Tenerani is still in the queens entour-
age. and his relatives expect him to win

has pushed himself forward to his pres

He has been retail dry goods clerk in
