COURIER-JOURNAL: LOUISVILLE, FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 11, 1892. THE KAISER WILLIAM. Interesting Study of Some Phases of the Young Emperor's Life. Anomalous Position That He Occupies In the Hearts of His Countrymen. Distrust of His Intentions and Admiration For His Arrogant Courage.

How His Wife Won His Devotion With An Early Morning Cup of Coffee. HISTORY AND ANECDOTES. (Correspondence of the Courter-Journal.) Berlin, Feb. is probably no more interesting character in the history that is making to-day than the young German Kaiser, who one day has all Germans by the ear and the next day by the heart. Beginning his reign as he did, with the imprisonment of his mother, and following that up with his dismissal of Bismarck--two pretty high-handed measuri6 -it remains to be seen whether The will prove himself a small tyrant, or, is already a great man, old for 'his years.

He ha, certainly a firm belief in the diving tight of Kings, and in the infallibility of William the Second. Last spring in in speaking agninst Bismarck, he said: One only is ruler in this land, and I am he; no other will I suiter near Again in Bavaria, the other day, in signing come documents, they asked-him to write something under his name. I am supreme," he wate, and rubbed sparks out of the Bavarian fur. When the Empress Frederick his father, she was at first very unhappy because of her small share in the long divisien of her husband's love. Finally, not able to stand it any longer, she went with her sorrows to the old Kaiser William, whose eold comfort was: My dear, you have married a Hohenzollern; it your child is a Prince; for the State's sake, you must live with your husband; it not you way act as your heart dietates." The present Emperor was Lorn, the husband changed his manner of life, and she lived to thank the old Emperor for making her stay with Frederick.

And lived also to see her experience repeated by her daughter-in-law, and to say to that daughter-in-law what had reen said to her: You have marvied a Hohenzollern." William the Second's escapades became famous. The Schleswig-Holstein princess, whom he married chiefly because she was of magnificent proportions and superb health, had no very firm hold on her Husband's affections until lone night, while he was still Crown Prince, 901D0 friends wanted him to go deer stalking at a very early hour in the morning (3, I believe); he said he did not see how he could; that there would be no one up to give him his coffee--think of the simplicity of life among German royalty: when the Crown Prince could not command his coffee at any hour he pleased! His wife told him to go on the hunt, it he wanted to; that she would see that she had his coffee in time. So, on the appointed morning, when he was ready for his coffee, in walked his wife with it. From that time on he treated her with more consideration, and to-day they are a model of married happiness to all Germany. When he comes home from a journey, no matter what time the train gets in, if it is 5 o'clock in the morning, she goes to the station to meet him.

But Rome was not built in a day. It was not until after the murder of the Crown Prince of Austria that he became the model of piety that he now is. Many stories are told of his piety, among them that he made his noble uncle, the Prince of Wales, most furiously angry by leeturing him about the baccarat case" when he was in London last summer. But piety is go much a matter of opinion: on that same visit to England he wanted to have the German Exhibition opened OlE Sunday for him to visit. One who has never been in London on Sunday can not imagine the enormity of opening an exhibition there on that day.

Why, they would let you starve before they would open a coffee-house. When I was in York a poor, little old maid, President of 3 Dorcas society, told me all about it, and said: Yes, at the last meeting of our Society for the Preservation of the Sabbath we passed a resolution condemning the German She might as well bave said that, with her poor, crooked mouth, she had tried to blow (the dirt off 5t. Paul's Cathedral in London. When the first child was born to the Crown Prince and his wife and some one in the army congratulated him, ha said: Oh! anyone can do that. 1 intend to liave 9 son for every corps in the army." There are thirteen corps and he has supplied six sons so far.

Another story told of him in connection with his children, is that, just after the Crown Prince had been put in uniform, separated from the rest of the children, in every way duly impressed with the fact that he was the Crown Prince, Kitel Fritz came erying to His father one day and complained What do you mean by striking that his brother had slapped him. your brother 7 asked the Kaiser. I am the Crown he answered. Well," the Kaiser, will show ven that I am the and with that he layed that bit of royalty across his lap and gave him a good whaling. With the usual perverseness of nature Eitel Fritz is much the more attractive child of the two.

The picture that gives oDe the leasantest, impression of the Emperor, is che taken with the future Emperor, OIL the day when he first put his uniform oil." The expreasion there is so fatherly and loving, so different from the usual world-defying, arrogant photograph that one sees of him in every window. With his brothhe or, the head of the levable: navy, that he is brother said to especially the one, person on earth who. can do anything he pleases with him. 'The Kaiser's eyes are wonderfully clear and have a trick of seeming to look through the person with whom he is talking, which makes it next to impossible to lie to him. One notices in Germany a much deeper loyalty to the sovereign than in England.

They will not admit that ho hins a thaw, morally or. physically. So many reporte are current about the Kaiser's lame arm, that one is naturally cations to know what really is the mattor. Many people assure you with perfeet calmness that there is absolutely nothing wrong. Finally I met a woman Lose brother, a captain in the army, was formerly an officer in the Kaiser's Lody guard and knew him well.

I tell you the story as 'twas told to me." ile caught cold at his birth; Te arm is a good deal smaller than the other one: the shoulder and elbow are useless, but the hand is all right, and he can use it quite well. In riding he puts his lines into his left bund with his right and can Shen hold them perfectly well, leaving the right hand tree for his so- bre and salnte. His gloves maten the Poster glove. do; he draws the one on with his teeth and then laces the string across the same way.

At table he the left hand on the table, then his fork made with one side sharp, so that it is bots Imife and fork: these who have seen him aften say that one would hardly notice that anything was the matter. Once on a visit to one of his provinces, they had prepared a most sumptuous breakfast for him in the guild hall and all the dignitaries in the neighborhood were invited, so many that they could not seat the people, but did that most abominable thing served their breakfast standing. Much to their chagrin the Kaiser refused everything, and stood there looking grimmer and grimmer evminute, tirat. niaca he was hungry man, in the second place they had made his deformity conspicuous. They had forgotten his lame arm.

But they say he has never forgotten them and cherishes to this day 110 very cordial feeling for them. In conferring orders, he holds the order in his hand and throws the chain or ribbon about the Neck as a cowboy does his lasso, and with as much dexterity; then he setties it into its proper place, and with 50 much dignity that it touches the hearts of his courtiers every time they see him do it, and never fails to bring him deeper in their affections. Where pomp should be, the Kaiser loves pomp. At court, all men who are not in uniform must wear the court dress of old times, the knee breeches, and embreidered satin coats of light colors, with the diamond buckles and lace frills. But in the army he tries to have the extreme of simplicity.

Field day is a great time for the officers, their friends come out, they have handsome luncheons and everything is gay. The Kaiser had noticed how unhappy the minor soldiers looked on that day, in comparison with the officers, 80 he kept a lookout for the caterer's wagons, that he knew from former experiences would bring the supplies, and, when he 8a them, turned them back to town, and then announced to his officers that as that was a day for general practice, they must stand in the field on duty a8 long as the minor soldiers were compelled to stay there. That smacks a little of tyranny and must have made the officers rage, but doubtless won him the heart of every private there. His majesty is also subject to fitsyes, goesip says epilepsy, but this time mean sulks. Last week he ordered gala night at the opera, which, of course, always fills the house to overflowing.

Then, after he got there, he concluded unt to be seen by the public, and sat clear in the back of the box behind all the other people, 80. that he could not he seen at all. Those who live near the Zeng house have the best opportunity to see him. He walks over there alone every day from the Schloss. That must he the worst part of royalty, having some one tagging at your heels all the time Last summer.

on his annual yacht trip that he takes to the North Cape, he wrote a beck, which he published under the nure of The Voice of the Lord Upon the Sea." Then Hugo Steinitz has just edited a book called What the Kaiser Says," composed of odds and ends of more or less interest. 16 opens with this proclamation, issued just after he was crowned in June, 1888: Called to the throne of my fathers, I have given ver my reign into the hands of the King of all Kings, and have vowed to God, after the example of the fathers of my people, to be a just and mild Prince; piety and a fear of God to praetice, to protect the peaco and care for the welfare of the land, to be to the poor and oppressed a helper, and a faithful guardian of right. When I beg God for strength to fulfill there kingly duties for which He has chosen me, I feel at the same time a confidence in the faith of the Pruseian people, which a backward glance at our history grants me. In god and bad days have Prussia's people stood true to their Kings. Upon this faith, whose.

bond my fathers through danger and difficulty found always fast, I also depend, in the of consciousness that from the depths my heart, respond as a true Prince, to a true people, hoth alike strong in their devotion to the general Fatherland. From this com ciousnees of the mutual love which binds me and my people take the assurance that God will lend me strength to rule in my royal office for the prosperity of the Fatherland." Here is his rath on the Constitution, which the Bismarekites claim that he in issuing decrees without the names of any of his Ministers signed: 1 vow that I will hold fast and unbroken the Constitution of the Empire, and reign in accordance with the laws of the same, as truly as God may help me." There is not a man in the Empire who works harder. He is up and has his breakfast every morning at 6 o'cloek, winter and summer. Hig ambition for Germany is boundless. Quoting again from Steinitz's book, he says: My striving and my whole work are directed to the end that I may see my Fatherland a great, mighty and honored country.

Inspired by this determinatica, mounted the throne: in this thought live, and if at times the work seems too heavy for me, and I sometimes doubt whether I am mature enough for the task, it is always a renewed strengthening and a new quickening to further activity and work, when word of the faith and devotion of my people is brought to To-day he will be much strengthened for his work in the new year. It is his birthday, and the whole world is saying pleasant things 'to him. Monday the King of Wurtemberg arrived to spend the Kaiser' birthday with him. As they drove througn the city we could not heip noticing the great simplicity of the German court in comparison with the brilliant pomp of the English. It was worth a trip to England to see the procession through the streets the day received the German Entperor.

Here it was hardly worth standing in the mud ten minutes. In read ng What the Kaiser Says," you can't help thinking, from the exactness of his sentences, that he must write beforehand every word. Then, toc, he speaks very slowly. But a young officer said the other day that in one speech the Kaiser used two English plurals, which looks as if he had spoken, then at least, extempore, and that his mother and father tongues were about equally balanced in his mind. When one lives here, must love this Kaiser, feel sorry for occasional from his master strokes, 83372 from the foclish things he does, but convinced fiying colors with which has come through a more than troubled youth, that he will be not less than second to Frederick the Great.

BARBOUR BRUCE. INSULTED HIS EMPLOYER'S WIFE. Detectives Looking For Joe Zergo's Former Bar- Keeper.

Two Years Hence It Will Be a Popular Resort--The Plans Completed For Its Arrangement. F. L. Olmstead, of Brookline, Censulting Landscape Engineer for the Board of Park Commissioners, has conipleted his inspection of Cherokee Park, and leaves this morning for Chicago, where he is employed in a similar capacity in connection with the World's fair. Mr.

Olmetead is a veteran landscape architect, and as such has become famous. He laid out Central Park, New York, in 1856, and since then las been architeet of Prospect and Washington Parks, Brooklyn; Riverside Park, New York South Park, Chicago; the parks at Buffalo, Montreal, Boston and Rochester, and the Capitol grounds at Washington. The topographical survey of Cherokee Park hind been completed and sent to Mr. Olmstead that he might study it and map out the improvements. The plans compiled from these surveys furnish as accurate an impression of the lay of the ground as continued personal inspection would give.

Mr. Olmstead, having completed a study of the survey, came here to look over the ground. Mr. Olmstead thinks Cherokee Park will make one of the finest in the South, and that at a comparatively sinali expense. The scenery is very beautiful, and it contains the finest timber he has had anything to do with.

It is proposed to lay out the park in wide walks and drives, and many more trees will be planted. A park can not be made in a day," said Mr. CInstead. It takes about a hundred years, really, to complete one, though of course they become favorite resorts in much less time than that. The ground on which Cherokee Park is to be located seems to have been laid out by Nature for a park.

In two or three years it will be a resort that will attract considerable interest. The landscape is beautiful, and is che of the prettiest with which I have had to deal. Boone Square is going to prove a fine town breathing-spot, and is destined to become very popular. It will require but little improvement. The surveys for Jacob and Shawnee Parks have not been completed, and therefore no plane have Leen decided on for them.

Jacob Park is well supplied with fine timber and will make a beautiful resort." THE INTERSTATE COMMISSION. Chicago Shippers Waste No Time In Expressing Themselves On the Subject. Chicago, March agitation relative to the many weaknesses and frequent infractions of the Interstate Commerce law has worked the shippers up to a high state of excitement. A special meeting of the Merchants' and Shippers' Association was held this afternoon to consider the matter. and arrangements were made for a public mass-meeting in the near future for the purpose of petitioning Congress to amend the act.

One of the amendments to be demanded is that the shippers shall be relieved from all liability under the Interstate Con merce law, and that the penalty imposed on a railroad agent or employe for violation of any provision of the act shall be imprisoned for a term not exceeding two rears. It was also resolved that the Interstate Commission should be given full judicial powers; that it should infliet the penalties provided by the law, and that its findings should admit of no appeal except to the Supreme Court of the United States. Moreover, as the present laws make no provision for the punishment of a railroad corporation the meeting recommended an amendment providing that any railroad company guilty of violating any provision of the law. shall, upon conviction thereof, be fined in any sum not less than $1,000 nor more than $5,000 for the first offense, with increasing fines for subsequent offenses. It was declared that the Commission should be composed of two lawyers, one railroad expert, one merchant and one manufacturer of renown, and that the Commission should be empowered to formulate a uniform classification from which there should be no deviation.

George W. Lapping Dies In New Albany At the Age of Sev. enty-Six. Peaceful End of the Retired Merchant and Brave Veteran a of the Mexican War. ITEMS FROM INDIANA.

The quiet village of Marysville, Clark county, near Jeffersonville, is in the midst of a social sensation. The belle of the place has eloped and married, or at least is supposed to be a bride, and her father has threatened to have revenge Ida Matthews is a pretty blonde, the daughter of Elder Thomas Matthews, pastor of the Christian church of Marysville. A year ago, while visiting at Murray, she became acquainted with George Darrington. It seemed a case of love at first sight, and after Miss Matthews' return they became engaged. On Wednesday Elder Matthewe was called to Murray to attend to some business matters.

Darrington saw Lim, and boarding a train he went tc. Marysville. He did not call at the Matthews residence, but contented himself by strolling by in the hope that his sweetheart would see him. She did so, and furthermore she walked out of the house and caught up with him. The mother witnessed the proceeding, and ordered her daughter back home.

Mrs. Matthews then began to abuse Darrington, whom she recognized by a photograph her daughter had shown hor. Miss Matthews refused to leave her lover, and both went to the Ohio and Mississippi railroad station near by and awaited the arrival of the south-bound train, which was due in a few minutes. Meanwhile Mrs. Matthews was imploring her daughter to return home.

A crowd had congregated, and Miss Matthews was declaring in vehement terms that she was going to elope to Jeffersonville and marry Darrington. Althonzli she had neither hat nor cloak, she boarded the train when it drew up. Marysvillo has no telegraph nor telephone office, and it was therefore impossible to notify the Clerk to refuse the pair a marriage certificate, but the evening train brought a friend of the family down to Jettersonville to ascertain whether Miss Matthews and Darrington had been married. An investigation developed the fact that no cereniony had been performed in that city, It is likely they will 1 be married in Kentucky, The Matthew- are afraid Darrington is dissipsted, this being the reason they objected to the match. William Woods and Martha Ellis crossed ffom this city to Jeffersonville last evening and were married.

Lapping, an old and greatly esteemed citizen of New Albany, died yesterday afternoon at his home on East Fourth street, in that city, after an illness that has confined him to the house for many weeks.

His only absence from that city for any length of time in more than sixty years was while he made the campaign in Mexico nearly fifty years ago as a member of the Second Indiana Infantry, when he served at the battles of Monterey, Buena Vista and o.her historic engagements.

For many yeurs he was actively engaged in business in New Albany, and by his industry and close application hie amassed a compotency that enabled him to retire some years ago. He was a memb.r of the New Albany Lodge No. 10, 1. 0. 0.
