INFATUATED WITH PRINCES;

MADRID. Feb. 10.-The courtship of
Princess Ena of Battenberg: the future
beautiful young Queen Of the Span
iards, by gallant Don Alfonso. has de-
veloped into a true love romance
The youthful King is said 10 love
the Princess with all the ardor of a
plain citizen. and not with that affected.
ceremonious love that kings generally
feel for their brides that ministers
have selected for them.
According to ali who know her well,
Princess Ena is a charming. talented.
beautiful young woman, who could be
loved as much by her personal and in-
teliectual charms as by her name and
title.
First Love Best.
On the other hand. Alfonso is young
and a Bourbon. He possesses a tender
heart, like ali members of his family.
and Ena is his first love.
It is Il wellknown fact that his
mother Queen Maria Christina, e;Id-
Gated her royal son in very different
school from that In which her husband.
Alfonso XII. and the majority OF the
Spanish Kings were educated.
Christian morals and moderation
were the principal maXims OF the edu-
cation that on more than one occasion
Maria Christina stated that she would
rather make Of her son a good man
than a great man.
His Character.
Contrary To the accepted customs of
the court Of Madrid, when Alfonso
reached his majority he was still a
pure, innocent child, whose heart was
free from the impurities and low pas
sions Of young royalty.
II was feared that his elevation to
the throne would mark the beginning
OF his career of vice and dissolution,
and the good people Of Madrid. re-
membering the disslpated instincts of
Alfonso's father, often shook their
heads and muttered 10 themselves the
old Spanish proverb: The son of q cat
must catch rats"
Fortunately. 1t must be admitted the
bachelor life of the young monarch
has ..ot been stained. Contrary TO the
fears OF one aud the expectations Of
others, Alfonso has never shown any
inclination 10 follow his fathers ex-
ample.
His only passion is outdoor sport,
and his fears OF daring as a cross
country rider. as yachtsman, and as
chauffeur are too well known to be
repeated.
People Are Delighted.
II can be safely said that the first
woman who has ever appealed to the
young Kings fancy is his future bride.
And the Spaniards. who. like the rest
OF the world. love lovers" are delight
ed to see that the King-student. as Al
fonso is called. VIII give his hand and
his throne to the woman he really
loves.

ROBSON GIVEN JUDGMENT FOR
$4,000 AGAINST MINNIE DAVIS
Civil Suit Determined Yesterday by
Judge Graham May Result in Com
promise of Criminal Charges

Hugh P Robson was awarded $4,000
judgment yesterday by Judge Graham
against Minnie Davis and A. c. Davis.
her husband. in a suit arising from
the noted criminal case which is pend
ing in Judge DUNES court, in which
Minnie Davis is accused of having en-
bezzled $4,000 belonging to Robson
about a year ago.
Minnie Davis is the wife of a con-
ductor on the Haight-street line in
this city. having come here from Hum
boldt, where she was acquainted with
Robson, who is well along in years.
Robson had trouble with his squaw-
wife, which threatened to terminate
in a divorce, and fearful that such an
action might result in the loss of a
large part of his property Robson
came to San Francisco and turned over
about $4,000 to Mrs. Davis Later he
alleged that she would not return this
to him, but had spent q large portion
of it. and criminal proceedings were
instigated. Then Robson brought the
suit to recover the money.
1t is probable that the settlement
of the civil suit will result in the
withdrawal of the criminal charges
against Minnie Davis. compromise
TO this effect already having been part
ly agreed upon. -
