THRONE
Death Of King LeOpOId'S Brother
Brings Prince Albert of Flanders
Into the Limelight.

London Nov. 22-The death a few
days ago Of the Count of Flanders.
brother of King Leopold, has brought
into the limelight the Counts only
son, Prince Albert of Flanders, who
by the death of his father becomes
heir apparent to the Belgian throne.
Born in 1875. Prince Albert attained
his thirtieth birthday last April His
marriage to the Duchess Elizabeth,
the third daughter of Duke Charles of
Bavaria. in 1900, caused great rejoic-
ing and enthusiasm in Belgium. When
son and heir presumptive to the
throne was born four years ago this
month the manifestations OF pleasure
in Brussels showed that the royal
couple possess a strong hold on the
affections Of the Belgians. A second
son was born Oct 10, 1903.
The general opinion is that Prince
Albert will make an excellent ruler,
something better than King Leopold,
since, in the first place, he has shown
no trace of those undesirable char
I acteristics which have been so marked
a feature of some of his immediate
] ancestors; and, in the second place
/ lie does not seem to have anything
+ OF his uncle's taste for speculation and
rash adventures.
/ Prince Albert long since OutgreW
/ his delicacy of health which at the
time of his elder brothers tragic and
/ mysterious death gave rise to univer
I sal fears that he would not grow up
\ to manhood. He is a tall. soldierly
looking young man, well set up, with
/ a face inclined to be chubby. and en-
/ joys the reputation of being of a fan
more studiOus temperament than his
/ brother, Prince Baldwin. The latter
met his death under circumstances
still shrOuded in mystery, in a house
situated in one of the most fashion
able thOrOughfares of the Belgian
. capital The tragedy, according to p0pu
lar rumOr, bore many striking analO
/ gies to that at Meyerling which cost
the crown prince of Austria his life
Like his uncle, King Leopold Prince
/ albert is passiOnately fond of the bi
/ ycle. He is also an extensive travel
err, and has visited not only every
court In Europe, but most of the grea.
centres of industry. He made NAM

months in making acquaintance witt

Princess Albert possesses an en-
gaging disposition and it was not lonl
after she took up her home in Brus
