Empire-in Gods providence
We may we'll say in Gods mercy
takes piece only cnce in about twenty
five wears, but the pon1p and clrcun1-
stance of a single transaction OF this
sort are enough to stretch over hum
dred wears. The first emperor OF the
great German empire that the great
Bismarck unhxed and so successfully
established was "Wilhelm der Crosse"
William the Great whose memory
is absolutely worshipped by these
people. He was man, a great states
man, great soldier. As simply king
OF Prussia-not emperor OF Germany
he and Bismarck worked together
wisely and indefatigably for the uni
ication; and it will be remembered
by all readers of contemporary his
tory how Bismarck, in the great hall
Ct the Palace of Versailles, after the
battle of Sedan and the fall Of Paris,
proclaimed him the first emperor Of
unified Germany. He reigned vlgor-
ously and wisely until 1888. His son
was Frederick III, the poor fellow,
noble, beautiful and good, who died
so painfully of cancer OF the throat
after reigning as emperor only 100
days. He was the first Crown Prince
Of unified Germany, and was married
IN 1859 to Helena Victoria, the old
est daughter OF Queen Victoria, of
Great Britain. Then in 1855, twenty
four years later, his Oldest son, the
present powerful emperor, was mar
ried to the Princess Augusta Victoria,
of Schleswig-Holstein. This brings US
to the slender blonde boy Of r., the
third Crown Prince OF unified Ger
Germany, who was married in the
royal palace in this city last night to
the Duchess Cecilia, of Mecklenberg
Strelitz, one of the smaller German
states. to the northward of this. She
is a slender, sweet-looking young girl,
midway between II and 1S years of
age, and her dowry from her own
country is 2o,ooo,ooo marks (S5,ooo-
ooo) several mountain castles and sew
eral palaces in different German citi-
es. Her mother, Anastasia, the Dow
aze7- Grand Duchess of Mecklenberg
and beautiful woman, is an aunt OF
the Car of Russia. She is a proud
and >imperious woman and it is said
that she confronts the present arbl-
trary and absolute emperor of Ger
many boldly on all occasion and gives
him to understand that she is by no
means elated. 1t is predicted that she
will breed trouble between the Crown
Prince and his wife, and between the
emperor and his daughter-in-law.
Another case of too much nother-i11-
law.
The Mother-in-law' Friend.
Not that we join in the blind out
CIV against the mother-in-law, Tor we
solemnly believe that, in nine cases
out OF ten, the mother-in-law is the
most outraged person in the world
and has more to put up with. There
fore we earnestly hope the naughty
Anastasia will teach the naughty en-
oeror some salutary lessons.
The Crown Prince is the Oldest OF
the present emperor's seven children.
His name is Frederick William
George Leopold Victor Albert Err
nest Edward, and heaven knows what
others. His marriage began Satur-
day last, and vas pushed, with good
deal of energy, off and on, until yes
terday, Tuesday afternoon, when 1t
eliminated in the actual religious GER
emony in the great chapel OF the royal
palace. The ceremony was performed
by "Excellenz" Dryander, the chief OF
the ten or twelve royal preachers. The
Lutherans have no Bishops, and the
word Reverend" is not used, but
simply the prefix "Excellenz." The
preacher, when in clerical attire,
wears the double white ruff, the black
surtout, black knee-breeches and
