 Veith.
BY MALCOLM CLARKE.

cently visited Berlin should be shown
 courtesy and while he is apparently very anxious to have President Fallieres visit
 him at Potsdam, 1t looks very much as II
 he is at the same time striving to stir up
 trouble in Morocco.
 Ttere is no doubt that the fact that so
 much publicity was given to the report
 of Ambassador Dr. Rosen at Tangier
 was due to the Kaiser's sharp articles in
 the Koeln'sch Ze.tung, accusing France
 of treacherous plans in Morocco would
 never have been written uninspired.
 There are many who fear that unless
 the German scmi-ofhcfal press stops It's violent attack upon the French govern
 ment serious complications with France
 where the people are already excited It
 inc Morocco prot blem, may follow. But
 so far the Kaiser seems determined to
 maintain his sphinx-like attitude.
 Anotter scandal has created sensa-
 ton at the royal Caxon court at Dresoen'
 and as 1t was the French tutor, Glron,
 who stirred up scandal when he eloped
 with Crown Princess Lonise, 1t is again
 a rench tutor who Is at the pot.oih oi the present scandal.
 M Francois Gautier, the tutor or the Kings sons. is a very romantic young
 man with craving for sensation ana
 most vivid ina agination, so when. few
 days ago. he accidentally cut himself
 with his pocket-knife, he told hair-rais-
 ing story about having been attacked py
 four masked men, two of whom ne sus-
 pected of being courtiors. who tried to
 kill him because of his relations with very exalted lady at court.
 An investigation ordered by the King soon revealed the fact that there never had been any attack upon Gautier, but
 there seems to be some truth in ms statement that his relations with the roy al lady have not always been of the most Platonic kind. and 1t is feared that sensational court scandals are aoout 10 become public, as M. Gantler threatens to tell all he knows in case he Is dis- cbare.ed at the order of the King.
 From St. Petersburg comes the news
 that the famous Russian actor. Glagolin
 intends to play the part of Joan or Arc
 in schillers tragedy, "The Maiden or Orleans"
 Ever since Sarah Bernhardt surprised
 the world by playing the parts or Aigioh and Hamlet Glagolin has expressed the desire to go before the public in femaie part. He does not see why man should not hc able to portray a woman as well as an actress can play male parts. IT ne succeeds in St. Petersburg he intends 10 go on a tournee in America. where he
 hopes to make fortune by his novel idea. ..
 There is great Indignation at Vienna
 against Count Marcell Veith, whose
 beautiful young daughter. girl or nine-
 teen committed suicide by jumping into
 the Danube a few days ago because her
 father forced her to make money in an immoral way . .e.zz. The young countess. in appearance a
 mere child, had become well-known
 f..ure in music halls and variety thea
 tres Often she was accompanied by her father, but oftener she came with old noblemen of unsavory repute.
 The police had for some time been sus-
 recting the Count of using his daughter
 for immoral purposes, and the other day
 they were both arrested. together with the Countess at their apartments, and taken to the police station. where a for maj complaint was made against the two partners.
 The girl at first tried to protect her father. but when many. witnesses had ap- peared to contradict her testimony she
 broke down and confessed the truth of the accusations. She insisted. however, that sine had led an immoral life of her own free will and that her father was in no way to blame. In spite of this her father was sent to prson and it was evidently to avoid heing compelled to testify against him
 at the trial that the young girl ended her life She left behind a letter addressed to her mother in which she said Forgive me, mother. for what I am doing. cannot do anything else. KISS papa many times for me.
 In the rooms of the couple quantity of letters were found which are of the most compromising character, and which will implicate some of the most aristo- cratic names In Vienna society. The Kaiser has taken 1t upon himself to see that true love shall not run smooth in the case of young Prince Frederich of Prussia, youngest son of the late Prince Regent, Albert of Bruns- wick, who has fallen in love with the beautiful young Countess Paula von Lehndorff and who swears that he will marry her if he has to give up his royal rank and title for it.
 Although he had been forbidden to see Ter the Prince proposed to the Countess. and, having won her heart. implored her mother, Countess Margaret von Kanitz. to give her consent and plead his and his sweethearts cause with the Kaiserin, to whom she is lacy in waiting but the l mother dared not oppose the Kaiser and refused.
 She and her daughter are now to travel abroad for year, while the Prince is to be sent to Silesa, where he is to manage the large family estates and forget all about his love He stubbornly refuses. however, and it is thought that he is planning to elope to England, where it will be easy for rim to marry Countess Paula. It is not the first time the Prince has crossed the will of his imperial relative. for he recently resigned from the army. in which he was to make a career for himself. and told the Kaiser that he knew nothing more disgusting than army life and wanted to take up some civil profession. and 1t is punishment that he is to be made country squire. Countess Paula won Lelndorff, who was born on April 2o;' 1889. is one of the | most beautiful girls at the imperial court. where her father, Count Heinrich von Lehndorff. was adjutant to the olG Kaiser, Wilhelm H. the present
 Kaisers grandfather. Prince Frederick was born on July 12. 1SS0. and has only followed in the footsteps of his two older
 brothers, who are both in disgrace at court
