Turin was the city Of d
his bringing up and educa- "a
ton. His family has always
been wealthy, but not oppressively
%.
Early in life he entered the navy Of
which he is now admiral. When he was
just out of his teens he became inter-
ested in mountain climbing, and accord
ingly after easily doing the Alps and
Apennines, he organized q party tc climb
Kinchinjinga of the Himalayas, the Sec
ond highest peak in the world. When
they reached India an outbreak of plague
compelled the party to abandon its plans.
He then turned his attention to the
new world. to Mount st. Elias, the gi-
gantic peak in Alaska. almost on the
Canadian boundary. The summit is 49,
900 feet high, and was once thought to
be the highest in the world. 1t was sur
mounted for the first time by this Italian
in the summer Of 1897. just when the
world was pouring into that region be-
cause of the discovery Of Klondike gold
The party consisted Of Prince Luigi Of
Savoy. Lieutenant Cafni. an officer of the
Italian navy, who was acting as aide-de-
camp to the prince; DR.. Phillippi. medical
adviser; Signor Gonella and Vittri Sella,
the latter a photographer, who secured
some first class views There were also
a number of Alpine guides.
The expedition started its trip back
over the dreary glaciers from Yakuta bay
One glacier twenty miles wide. took four
days to cross. Most OF the time they
travelled solely by compass. The glacier
they found at the foot of Mount Newton
is the toughest glacier in the world.
At the foot OF this mountain all the
American members of the party were left
behind by the prince. who seemed jealous
that any but his countrymen should scale
tho Pofnro cra1inY
party started the duke made the Ameri-
cans sign an agreement that they would
not pass the foot OF the mountain. From
the base Of the mountain II took the
royal party no less thai. eleven hours to
make the ascent. at which they toiled
every minute. Much valuable scientific
data was gathered by the expedition and
submitted to scientific bodies.
The exploit served TO Increase the
dukes love of adventure, and soon after
he laid his polar expedition plans. I'm
like Dr.. hansen. who tried to reach the
pole BY way Of the sea and drifting with
the ice. the prince planned to make his
way north entirely by land and. sledges
The expedition left Chrtstiania on June
IL. 1899.
It was on one of the trial sledge ex-
petitions that the dukes fingers we're SO
badly frost-bitten that they had to be
amputated. As . result he had to trans
fer the command of the sledge party,
which finally did strike north. over to
Captain Cagni. who went farther north
than any expedition which had ever pre-
coded him. The geographical results of
the expedition were Of the utmost i'm
porfance.
This great achievement Of the duke
made his name the most noted Of all the
Italians. He was everywhere feted and
fattered. but never lost his head After
this exploit he returned to mountain
climbing. and later turned his attention
to the heart Of equatorial Africa He
made famous cruise Of the South Sea

hold. Tho story went that Senator
Elkins was to be invested with the collar
Of the Annonciade worn by the adult rela.
tives of the king.
The battleshfps which were to have e.
corted the duke to America were named
In Rome. All these things took place in
the face of the strongest denials IN
America and abroad and opposition from
many papers In Italy.
During the winter Miss Elkins came to
New York. The new year came and
there was nothing new In the way Of de-
velopments. The pendulum of gossip BE-.
gan to swing the other way, and her nams
was linked with that Of an American ON
Ger. What was said to be the last cable

read as follows: Il shall remember you
forever"
1t was at this time that the duke wss
planning his Himalaya trip with the in
tention Of trying for the summit of Mt.
Everest compass went to the duke
from Miss Elkins with good wishes for
the success Of the enterprise So the
reports went back and forth for months
and even years. denials following confir.

malls.

the most popular and the
- most famous man that Italy
possesses in this day and
generation, has taken his place at the
head of the Italian battle fleet
The supreme commander Of the royal
Italian navy has lived one of the most re-
markable lives that an adventurous
Italian has ever gone through. Adven-
ture. danger. love, romance, change and
conquest have marked it from beginning
to end. BY sheer ability warmth of per
sonality and contempt for danger and
hardships he has won his way into the
hearts of his Countrymen.
When still boy in his early twenties
he had record Of mountain climbing to
his credit which put to shame that of
many hardy veterans at the game. In
the intervening years he has been the
hrst to ascend and explore some of the
highest mountains In the world. includ-
Ing Mount ST. Elias in Alaska and the
Mountains of the Moon in Africa.
AS the head OF an exploration party he
possessed both the science and the cour-
age to set record In farthest north ex-
rloration that stood for several years.
The geographical data which he brought
back upon this occasion are still some of
the most valuable in the possession of
scientific societies.
In love adventure he received no less
fame and considerably more publicity
That was in the seven years he was court
ing Katherine Elkns. beautiful and
wealthy American heiress. II was per-
haps the most attractive OF the interna-
tional romances that have taken place be-
tween American girls and European
noblemen. and that II did not reach its
proper contamination is due entirely to
the opposition TO II which came from the
reigning family of Italy
Prince Luigi Is the cousin Of Ttaly's
king and his own father was once the
king OF Spain. He has always been an
adventurer and rough rider of the pre-
ferred class. When he was but thirty
four years of age he had already accom-
panied 'farthest north" expedition,
made the first ascent Of Mount st. Elias
and the first ascent Of Mount Rowenzori
and had innumerable lesser exploration
stunts to his credit.

the only thing that bothered the king OF
Italy, who is supposed to have said that
II Miss Elkins became a Catholic he
would withdraw his opposition. But
though the king appeared to consider the
barrier between the daughter Of an
American citizen and the House Of Savoy
as not at all insurmountable. this was not
the position taken by the Dowager Queen
Margharita or by the wife Of the dukes
eldest brother. the Duchess of Aosta.
Most OF the opposition to the alliance
came from these two women.
Abruzzi returned to Italy at the end Of
March, and through the summer there
was no Awaiting of gossip Even the pope
was quoted as having said to Cardinal
Gibbons that he was glad Miss Elkins was
to become a Catholic The director Of
telegraphs In Rome refused to transmit
any dispatches in regaM to the reported
engagement, because the home office had
given orders to stop all kilograms on that
subject.
Only few days later. early In April,
Abruzzi and his two brothers. the Duke
OF Aosta and the Count of Turin, con-
ferred with King Victor Emmanuel at the
palace In Rome, and then for a long time
there was nothing said about the royal
position.
Inc duke had gone to this audience
even before he returned to the Elena
regina, the vessel of which he was then
commander. Through the summer there
were frequent interchanges Of messages

duke, but when fall came the senator

however. his attitude toward Abruzzi was
very cordial. and he said he regarded the
duke as distinguished personality. an

islands and in 1905 II be-
came known that he was /lf'r---
contemplating scaling the
virgin heights of Ruwen- -r..
zori. This great mountain
or rather mass Of noun
tains. is situated Immediately north Of the
equator on the borders Of Uganda and the
ned with the Mountains OF the Moon, OF
which Ptolemy was fond Of writing. He
made the-ascent in 1906. and set the
height Of the mountain as 1870 feet
1t was one of the most daring Of all his
geographical expeditions.
In the early spring Of 1908 the shuttle
COCK OF gossip touching the betrothal OF
Katherine Eikins. only daughter of Sena-
tor Stephen B. Elkins, Of West Virginia,
and the Duke Of the Abruzzi began to be
tossed back and fro across the Atlantic.
The existence Of the engagement was de-
MED frequently by both parties con-
cerned, but there was so much circum-
stantfal evidence to be taken into con-
sideration that It was almost impossible
not to believe in an approaching we'd
ding
1t was when the duke came to the
jamestown exposition in command Of the
6attleship Regina Elena that he met Miss
EIk1ns at reception, when the other
omcers OF the ship were entertained In
Washington and en- route to Old Point
Comfort. Miss Elkins came late to the
reception, and according to her friends
1t was only with the greatest reluctance
that she accompanied her parents at all
His royal highness noticed her as she
greeted the hostess. and Immediately re-
quested to be presented. r--
The Elkins family was In Florida in
March. 1903, when the appearance of the
duke at the same hotel started the first
wagging Of tongues. He was travelling as
Ludovico Sarto. and under this pseu-
donym he went back to Washington ~
soon as the Elkins' had returned there.
Immediately mass of conjectures
arose as to the possibility Of the kings
consent or objection to the marriage.
Senator Elkins early made the declara-
tion that he was distinctly against the
idea q such an alliance for his daughter.
He made the statement that he was
not Impressed BY the results Of marriages
OF American girls to foreigners with
titles. The idea Of consenting to mar
riage unless al rights Of 4 royal consort
were accorded Miss Elkina was out Of the
question: Ne aid. go. IL

able man Of the highest character, and q
Well-known explorer and scientist.
Along with all the denials the most
definite reports came out Of Italy naming
some time In November as the marriage
date The Princess Letitia, stepmother
OF the duke, announced the betrothal at .
public function. A diamond tiara, which
it was said the king of Italy had chosen
for his gift and which cost 100000. was
described Also the monetary side of the
marriage came in for much talk
An army or navy onicer of royal rank
like Abruzzi receives no pay. His income
from the civil list is about 100000 an
nually. His inheritance from his mother
is something like 100000. The be-
quest. however. was seriously depleted
by the financing Of his various explora-
ton parties. But the expectation of n
magnificent settlement from the Elkins
family was never attributed to the
duke as motive for marriage.
1t was generally understood
,n H that the marriage was to
taa be celebrated In this

THE o. p. BAUR CO.

For four decades this firm has been
accredited by the public as the best
caterers and confectioners in the West
and among the leading in the country.
Like the acorn it continued to grow
and grow, until now it has reached the
dimensions of the gigantic oak.
Thousands of dollars has been spent
within the last two years in remodel
ing and installing fixtures and the
latest devices which make capable the
supplying of large orders, etc. A soda
fountain. is an added feature which
comes in for quite a patronage. The
offices are on the second floor, with
staff of very competent clerks, a
telephone switchboard and money
tube are among the recent additions.
The gentility of the clerks in the va
riouS departments constitutes an es-
sential quality of the firm, as every
one who enters never goes out with
out pleasure and satisfaction.
A particular feature of this firm is
the employment of colored men and
women in the catering department,
chief of whom is the well-known char
acter, Owen Caswell, who has actually
grown with the firm. In his capacity
his responsibility is evidenced by be-
ing the custodian of all the costly sill
yer and chinaware, linen, ETC., which
comprise portion of the stock. He
also employs the walters for different
functions and attends to loans and
rentals of articles. During the holiday
season he is in charge of one of the
candy counters, where he does quite
a trade for the firm. Owen (as he is
popularity called) is well liked by all
the people, and is the means of bring
ing much trade in his line for his en-
ployers, being associated with them
over quarter of century His as
sistant is Harvey Butler, who is very
valuable to him.
The Colorado Statesman extends
best wishes for further success to the
firm and a prosperous business for
1915.

FAMOUS MUSICIAN IN TOWN.

Madam Azalia Hackley, our ia
nous musician, who recently returned
from Europe, arrived in this city last
week and is the guest of Mrs Waller,
26O6 Gilpin street. The madam is well
known in Denver, having spent num-
ber of years here during her early
life. Her many friends were delighted
to see her, and as she always eX-
presses, Denver has a warm place in
her heart, so has she in the hearts of
her friends.
The Colorado Statesman would not
be doing justice to itself if it allowed
this personality to go without some
comment. We welcome her once
more to beautiful Colorado, with its
perpetual sunshine and it's snow
capped mountain peaks, hoping that
she will be spared for a long time to
carry on the work of impressing our
people with the natural possibilities
they possess and bringing it out OF
them in the art of music, which ranks
higher than any.
Continued success for her in her
sphere of usefulness is the profound
wish of The Statesman.
