give in these columns at least a part Of
a letter which have received from the ex-
counts father. Count Bolko Won Hochberg,
who was for so many years director gen.
erai of ali the theatres and opera houses
OF the Prlssian crown. and who is, more
over. the grand carver at the Court of Ser
lin and member Of the Prussian House of
Lords.
Count Bolkc Hocbberg protests with
great viscr against the inputation printed
in the press Of both the OLD and the New
World 10 the effect that his son had sold
the private letters written to him by the
Crown Prince. The count, with some JUS
;ice. points out that young fellow who
sacrifices to idealism. even though wrong
headed his rank in the army, his titles OF
nobility his position al court. aud even his
very name and family is not the sort of
man who would turn TO pecuniary account
the confidential correspondence of a trust
ing friend. The count insists that his son,
far from having derived any advantage
from the now convicted Barnes, either
through the surrender to him of the Crown
Princes letters or in any other manner,
Was. on the contrary. most sh6mefu1ly vic
timized. and mentions considerable sum
Of money which he himself placed at the
enterprises and which, OF course. is lost
beyond recovery.
The old count also asks me- TO point out
that IL is not quite fair TO ascribe 10 him
the role Of e harsh and unmereiful father
who has left his son TO staTve in America
for no other reason than that he had mar
ried woman Of bourgeois in lieu of one
OF noble rank He declares that the mere
fact that the girl was of bourgeois rank
constituted in his eyes no obstacle, and
that there we're other reasons why he and
his wife z former Princess CRrolath. had
objected TO the match He states that he
still continues however, to regard the
match as having been ar unfortunate one
since It estrsnged his son not only from
his relatives but also from his friends, ana
cost him his position in Germany and what
might heve been 2 very brilliant future
there He adds that IT is perfectly true
that ne had forbidden the marriage, hu'
that when his boy came TO America and
married the girl here he at once sent him
money. which his son declined to accept on
the ground Of the parental disapprev8l OF
his union The old count has still the re-
iected drafts. which are quite as honorable
70 himself q to his son. and certainly tend
+, relieve the latter of any imputation OF
djshenorsble conduct in connection WIN

The old count ends By saying that for the
last three Years he has been reconclled 10
his son. and that not only has he during
that time been receiving regular allow
