KAISER HAS GREAT
CORPS OF AMAZONS

BERLIN, Jan. 16.-Emperor William
of Germany has the finest corps of
AmazOns in the world.
Himself an accomplished and dar-
ing horseman, the German monarch is
proud of the women of the court and
of the nobility who displayed the reck-
lessness of hussars in speeding their
mounts over ive-foot fences and 12-
foot bitches.
From the empress down to the little
Princess Victoria Louise, and from the
scores of noblewomen who won fame
in the hunting field, this most brilliant
court of women riders Is recruited ev-
cry year for the imperial hunt, but not
until this season have the intrepid
equestriennes evidenced such remark
able prowess under the eyes of their
appreciative sovereign.
The parforce hunts on the trail of
the wild boar have been run since
October and will continue until the
first SHOWS cover the great stretches
of Doberitz.
Compliments From the EMPEROR.
At all the strenuous hunts Of the
past two weeks the women riders have
been conspicuous in the large fields,
and on several occasions have special
compliments and honors been heaped

emperor.
No ditch seemed too wide, no fence
too awkward, when the eye of the
monarch swept the pillow or pasture,
recording every incident for future
praise or criticism. And in this man
ner the German women followers OF
the hounds, urged on by imperial ap-
probation, are likely to develop into
the finest corps Of princely riders In
Europe.
The emperor usually takes part in
: these hunts as honorary master. He
wears the red coat like everybody else,
but refuses to follow the dictates OF
fashion in the matter of hats. The
top hat he favors has somewhat OF
prehistoric appearance and is much
too large, but William ignores the fine
smiles of his ladies, for the size of his
hat brings security against loss II
nothing else. With all that he is
true sportsman and indefatlgaDle
hunter who cares less for style than
for the excitement of the game.
Princess Is Fine Rider.
One of the court ladies the other day
said that the emperors only daughter,
the dashing Princess Victoria Louise,
is likely to outclass her distinguished
father in horsemanship. The young |
woman has not missed hunt this win
ter. and as the weather in Berlin and
surrounding country is ideal for this
time OF the year, there probably Will

MAD BOURBON PRINCE
SHOCKS ALL EUROPE

ROME, Jan. 6.-Extraordinary
revelations are made of the mode of
life of Francis Charles of Bourbon,
prince of Capua, who is rs and has liv-
ed madman's life for forty years in
the Villa Marlia Capannori.
For several years now he has not
spoken, having apparently been struck
deaf and dumb in an apoplectic seizure.
Every morning at a servant knocks
at the door of the princes bedcham-
Der and hurriedly places the breakfast
tray-a sumptuous repast-through a
sliding window inside the room.
The prince jumps out of bed naked,
throws toga around his shoulders,
and hides till the domestic has disap-
peared He cannot bear anyone to see
him. He has neither shaved, had his
hair cut, washed or cut his nails within
the memory of his oldest retainer.
Formerly, il he saw anyone approach
ing him, he would make hideous
noises, but nowadays, unable to give
vent to his feelings thus, he claws the
air in front of him and lashes out with
his fists, though the intruders may be
100 yards or more away.
But the most remarkable perform
ance takes effect after breakfast. Day
after day, year in and year out, no
matter what the weather is like, the
unfortunate man rushes stark naked
out OF the room, down the corridor,
across the terrace Of the villa to a
chair. 1t is always the same chair
Once it was removed and the prince
fell down in one of his oft-recurring
fits.
Seated on this chair, he dresses him

When the Duke of Norfolk, premier
peer of England, was widower, there
was a question of his marrying the
good-looking American widow.
Duke de la Sierra has shown marked
attention to the countess for many
months back. When she sailed the
duke was at the station to see her
off. But she had scarcely left the city
when two false friends tried to divert
the attention of the duke. They told
him where a wife and wealth more
than the countess lis possessed of
might be found. They introduced him
to a young woman from Pittsburg,
Miss MacIntyre, who with her mother,
is stopping at the Hotel Majestic. Adj
vantage is being taken of the countess
absence to push the chances of her
rival, but as the duke is not in the
first blush of youth, he is likely not
to be tickle.

HEIRESS is TO WED
SPANISH ROYAL DUKE

Should this marriage take place the
countess will be one of the few Ameri-
can women married to royal dukes,
for Duke de la Sierra belongs to the
royal house of Spain. He is a son of
the regent of Spain, who was ap-
pointed after the late Queen Isabella,
who was forced to leave the country
when Alfonso XII, father of the pres
ent king, was minor. His mother
lives at Biarritz and is quite rich

and popes, likes dukes, it is said

hunt, these same gourmants appeared
only for the sake OF the Markobrunner

mo more Markobrunner." said Will
liam with a smile. And now the prob
lem for the coming year is, "Will there
be any more Markobrunner hunts
men?"
Perhaps the only woman who has
ever been a member of the imperial
hunts without possessing the preroga-
tive of noble birth is Miss Virginia
Weber. The only qualification of that
rider lis her unequalled horseman-
ship. She rides like a Centaur and
fears nothing And that is why she
has the honor of riding behind the
hounds with the emperor.
One of the noteworthy character
istics of this imperial corps of ANA
IONS is that it's membership includes
women who are or could be grand
mothers. The kaiserin did not ride
this year, but there was her excel
lency Won Dulitz, widow Of the late
general of the German artillery, who
always rides a snOw-white horse and
never misses the kill. And then there
is the ever-present Countess Won War
tensleben, several times a grandma,
who would rather miss the road to
heaven than an afternoon in the sad
die when the scent is fine.
Frau Won Hummer, at whose palat1al
residence and great domains the en-
peror is a frequent guest, is one OF
most ardent followers of the hounds
in Germany. She owns valuable stables
and one of the finest packs in the coun-
try.

An American visitor confded an In
teresting bit of hunting yarn that
shows how Emperor William appre-
ciates funny situation.
1t was during the recent st. HUI
bertus hunt, which is a yearly event,
and is followed by grand dinner.
The feature of that imperial dinner
has been an excellent wine from the
emperor's own cellars, called Marko-
Drummer wine.
In order to be admitted to the i'm
perial hunting feast each rider had to
have a record of at least three par
force hunting seasons, and in order
to get some of that old Markobrunner

further away than that from the chair.
Round and round it he walks, sharing
his meals with the birds.
He takes great delight in smashing
all the crockery each day. AT 8 p. m.
it is time for bed. A servant appears
and that is enough to brighten him.
Fighting his imaginary foe, the old
man rushes off to his room and locks
the door.
