THE ROYAL DUKE DOCTOR
PRINCE CHARLES THEODORE,
DUKE OP BAVARIA.
Tho Purple No Ear to the Good Work
of Two People In Alleviating the Suf
ferings of BtrickfOn Humanity— The
Duke and Hla Noble Wife Devoting
Thoir Lives to the Service of the Blind
—The Great Work Already Accom
plished.
From Good Words.
Prince Charles Theodore, Duke of
Bavaria, is the son unci heir of the traveler
and author, Maximilian, who, the head of a
distinct royal line in Bavaria, bears the
title, "Herzog in Bayern," and of Ludovica,
youngest daughter of King Maximilian
Joseph, first King of Bavaria. Ho was
Lorn Aug. 9,1839, and married at Dresden
iu 1805 the pious Princess Sophia, daughter
of the learned scholar, King John of
Saxony. Left a widowor In March, 1867,
with an only child, a littlo girl, he married,
seven years later, tho Princess Mary
Josepha, Duchess of Braganza, Infanta of
Portugal, the third of Dou Miguel’s gifted
daughters.
Tho prevention and cure of disease have
from an early age possessed a peculiar fasci
nation for his royal highuoss, who is pre
eminently fitted by nature to pursue this
branch of science. .Vs soon, therefore, jib ho
could free himself from his military duties
he regularly studied and worked in a hospi
tal. He was at 11 rat silently and persistently
opposed and obstructed by members of the
medical stuff, until finally his indomitable
tenacity and skill compelled them to ac
knowledge him no dilettante but an adopt
iu scientific and practical medicine aud sur
gery.
liy degrees ho devoted his energies to tho
service of the blind. In this beneficent
cause he is most efficiently seconded by his
young and courageous wife. Married at tho
early age of 17, she has qualified herself un
der her husband’s direction for tho treat
mefit of disease; and, although an innate
votary of cleanliness aud freshness, accepts
jier[K'tual contact with dirt and poverty and
n ver shrinks from tho most loathsome
sights and smells; while he, animated with
a love of incessant work and increasing
knowledge, introduces into his hospital at
Tegtjrnsee the latest scientific discoveries of
tho healing art which he learns each year in
Munich or Vienna.
At Tcgernsee. some thirty miles southeast
of Munich, tho palace stands on tho eastern
shore of the brood lake, environed by tho
village It was until 1808 a famous Benc
d.stitib monastery, with a long line of
abbots extending over 1,000 years. Duke
Charles Theodore inherited the domain ou
the demise of his maternal uncle, Prince
Charles of Bavaria. The new possessor and
his wife—ever his true helpmate—immedi
ately began a life of hard work and philan
thropy that at first astonished the people,
until they fully recognized the rare qualities
of the royal master and mistress.
The Duke and Duchess spend a great part
of each year on this estate, carefully watch
ing over the training of their bright and hap
py children, often surrounded by other
merry little folks and their parents, all
closely-attached relatives gathered together
for the celebration of beautiful family fes
tivals. But, while enjoying an ideal do
mestic life, they never forget their sick, to
whom they daily minister In their hospital.
It is situated at a quarter of an hour’s walk
from the palace aud is served by Sisters of
Charity.
Among the many interesting cures ef
fected by the Duke at Tegemsee may be
mentioned those of children boru blind' Of
course in tho education of the blind, the
knowledge of external objects is chiefly con
veyed by touch, giving double significance
to the words of Holy Writ: “The eye can
not say to tho band, I have uo need of thee.”
A tiny girl who had thus been trained,
when she could see was noticed by the Duch
ess silently to contemplate then stroke a
table aud afterward e. chair. A boy, who
had likewise received sight, was unable to tell
her royal highness whether her watch wus
round or square until he had felt it. At
first it was difficult for the children to walk
alone with their eyes open, especially in
going down-stairs; and she would gladly
have retained them near her for some time
to study their unfolding faculties had not
the relatives naturally required the return
of the little ones who had not hitherto be
held their faces.
Tlie Duke, unforl unately, suffers from
a delicate chest, which compels him at
times to seek a mild climate. In the spring
of 1885 it was consequently decided that
he should make a stay of somo weeks at
Mei'un,
They had scarcely arrived when his royal
highness, although troubled with a bron
chial catarrh, finding tbo prescribed rest
insupportable, arranged, with the ready co
operation of the local authorities, for two
large adjoining rooms in the town hospital
to tjin placed at his disposal. He next an
nounced his readiness to give advice and
aid to any sufferers from diseases of the eye.
fllvit lethargy, diffidence, or self-caution
lie and back many totally or partiully blind,
till the Duke’s kindness and skill being test
ed. they began rapidly to stream to Meran
from all corners of Tyrol; tho applicants,
according to regulation, resorting at stated
hours to the Villa Aders to bo inspected by
the Puke, who, should thoir caso require it,
then admitted them to his infirmary at the
hospital.
Let us now suppose ourselves privileged
to enter the Duko’s wards. At 0:30 a. in.
we find tho two spacious, usually cheerful
southern rooms in that state of obscurity in
which they must now be kept even at the
brightest noon. In the first, the two opposite
rows of beds contain recumbent, motionless
male figures, with liundaged heads, in the
hospital dressing-gowns, made of red and
white striped ticking. Tho second and
dining-room has a similar arrangement of
bandaged females in white bod-gowns. In
loth wards the blackboard affixed above
each bed, announcing the case under treat
ment, almost universally has in white chalk
the word “Starr” (cataract). From want of
space several male and female patients are
propped up with cushions iu arm-chairs.
Tlie Sister of Charity in charge is com
pleting the administration of coffee and
bread to each, when the door opens ami a
gentleman enters carrying a case of instru
ments. Tho Duke, for it is he. quietly asks
for a lighted candle, which the sister holds,
and begins bis round from bed to bed, un
handaglng the eyes, carefully examining
[ mil dressing thorn. It is a noted fact that
the blind in this isolated condition fools the
need of a friend and confidant much more
than the seeing. Usually nothing is so un
pleasant to him as to lie quite alone, for lie
then realizes to the I'uil the difficulty of l;is
position, mid ho clings with body and soul
to those who arc genuinely kind to him.
I'hus these poor patients, separated from
thoir kinsfolk and acquaintance and depend
ent on the Duke, whom in their simplicity
they often term Herr Doctor or Herr Augo
nart (eye doctor), pour into his intontive car
tho story of their maladies, their hopes and
frara even on quite irrelevant but to them
most weighty subjects.
While thus employed systematically mak
ing his round, Dr. Tauscli, his assistant, a
good-humored, clover young physician from
Wurzburg, appears; lor lie, royal higlmuss
• sung a very early riser and insatiable in his
vocation, often arrives before the time lie
bos fixed. With tho help of this coadjutor
the work of examination ami bandaging
K'ick on eveji more rapidly, and the thirty
or forty patients are ail attended to by 8
o’clock.
At this hour applicants whom the Frinee
nos upjmlnted to come to the hospital for
operation arc ranged in the adjacent corri
dor. The slim, gracoful figure of the
Duchess now approaches with quick,
elastic tread along tho passage. .Sim holds
a little basket fllloa with ink > and fruit for
some small sufferer. Casting an inquiring
glance at tho miscellaneous waiting group.
' be enters tho wards, and passing from Wi
to Ltd speaks cheering, appropriate words
to each occupant.
The operations, which, from want of
space, have unfortunately to be performed
m the male ward, immediately begin. The
Duchess recognises each case, and percelv
lng at u glance what instruments will be
needed holds them in readiness; and at times
her good nerve and steady hand help in the
operation. Imperial and royal relatives,
ladies-in-waiting, perhaps an eminent phy
sician on his travels or some local surgeon
may bo present, Intently watching this ex
ceptionally endowed couple, as with com
plete scientific knowledge they adroitly euro
or relieve tho delicate organism under treat
ment.
And the patients, what a strange and af
fecting assembly 1 a leading trait being im
mense power oi endurance ou the part of
the hardy race of Gormuu Tyrolers, acuta
sensibility on that of the more nervous
Italian. Many who coma from solitary
homesteads situated in remote valleys or ou
lofty mountains, and siieak varied and
almost unintelligible dialects, are odd,
grotesque, uncouth; yet possess an innate
good breeding, while wholly ignorant of all
customary observances to rank. Borne,
who have seen more of tho world, affect a
superior, oven patronizing uir to thoir
comrades. Homo are facoLous, somo not
easily to be subdued. Not a few are
truly heroic by nature, others
are nerved to support agony
under such unique and flattering conditions.
Tho sensitive are often too much overcome
for words, and when blessed with sight find
relief by repeatedly kissing tho Duko’s
beneficent hand. Hundreds nave never be
fore boon brought hi contact with any high
born lady; and tho Princess’ gentle frank
ness and rapidity—for slio has a facility of
doing all she attempts quickly and well —eu-
tlirall their hearts and minds. It Is a homo
geneous tunas of human sufferers, present
ing day by day, week by week, tho same
tragic anil oven comic forms and character
istics, which are relieved, however, of all
dull uniformity to the Duke and Duchess by
their own enthusiasm, sympathy with hu
man nature, and delicate sense of humor.
When the benign pretence of the Duke
and Duchess no longer lightens the tedium
the hours drag wearily on in the gloomy in
firmary. There are littlo contretemps; ig
norant and undisciplined patiouts, soofiiug
at the absolute need of the enforced pas
sivity, talk and crack jokes; even tbo will
ing obedient, made irritable by the limited
space and constrained position, fidget and
inovo or snoezo vigorously and clumsily, to
the disarrangement of bandages. But goal
manners are speedily restored by the re
minder, “What would the Duchess sayf"
While these poor mortals arc enduring to
the best of their ability this chrysalis stage
of darkness and torpor, other sufferers are
groping their way, being led, carried, or, if
well-to-do, conveyed in bath-chairs to the
Villa Adore. Old and young, from far and
near, with every possible derangement of
eyesight—blind from birth, or blind from
small-pox. fever, inflammation, cataract,
external injury, dofect in tho optic nerve,
imperfect organization, gradual decay —ou
they troop to be relieved by the Duke, at
first each afternoon, later thrice in the week;
the highest number reached in any after
noon being ninety-ono, the total 2,000.
Tbo footmen welcome each newcomer
with a personal interest and deference that
trauouillzo tho poor blind, whose susccpti
bUitibs are groat; and after arranging thorn
in tho spacious ontranco hall usher them by
turn into the presence of the Duke and
Duchess. Their royal highnesses, in tlio
most oasy and natural way, attend to each
cose, make out together what illiterate
peasants, wholly ignorant of all laws of
nature and health, mean in thoir strunge
patois—he tenderly lifting shaggy, un
kempt hair off weather-beaten foreuoads to
obtain a clearer view of the defective eye
sight; she, ever on the alert, helping the
poor people to explain themselves, and,
when need be, writing but a diagnosis or a
prescription for tho Duke to sign.
Thu month of March, 1886, brought them
onco more bnok to Merau, whore another
season was spent in a similar round of ardu
ous and munificent labors. During tho ten
weeks thou passed "in the Villa Bavaria some
1,200 persons resorted to the Duke and were
received by idui 4,000 times, while 200 were
operated upon, aud these chiefly in the hos
pital.
And now. in May, 1887, men, women and
children, with bandaged eyes or in specta
cles, again form a prominent feature of the
locality; for the royal oculist and wife—this
vear assisted by a grandson of tho poet,
Huckert—havei since the middle of March,
been indefatigably pursuing their work of
mercy in Meran.
“FINDENB IS KEEPENB.”
A Fat Man on Broadway I ost a Coin
Because He Couldn't Tell Its Date.
I\om the New York World.
A heavy-built man, who looked as if he
could hit a two-hundred-and-flfty-pound
blow-, stood on the park corner of Broadway
and Chambers street yesterday afternoon
busily engaged in poking his cane among
tho gutter rubbish. He kept turning up
dirt with the cane, aud his action attracted
a crowd.
“What are you looking for?” asked a
young man.
“I dropped a quarter."
“Do you know where you dropped it?”
“Oh, yes, and lam only looking for it to
pass away time," sarcastically replied the
fat man, as he buttoned his white linen vest.
The crowd continued to increase, and finally
a bootblack rushod up aud exclaimed:
“Say, boss, a niggar picked up your quarter.
There ho goes along by Stewart's.” Tho fat
man ran after and overtook the colored man
near Iteado street. The crowd surrounded
them and heal'd the following colloquy:
Fat Man—Did you find a quarter on the
corner?
Colored Man—Who found a quarter ?
Fat Man—l droppod a quarter, and lam
told you picked it up.
Colored Man —(A long man, what you
talkin’ ’bout?
Fat Man—l want that quarter.
Colored Man—Whar you drappod dat ere
two bits.
Fat Man—l lost a quarter and you picked
it up. If you don’t give it up I’ll have you
arrested.
Colored Man—Sea heah boss. I seed two
bits clar ober dar whar do tracks am. You
dreplied your silver whar you was lookin’.
Likely as not the two bits I found was lost
by some gemmon in de kyars. Hows I
know but what you seod do two bits shinin’
’long and don't calkilate right wliar done
stop rollin’. Reckon ef I find fust it b'long
to me.
Fat Man—You black son of a gun. I have
a great njind to knock you down. Give me
that quarter, I tell you.
Colored Man (looking at the silver piece
in the palm of liis loft hand)—Ef you tell
me da date dat am on ilc two bits I owns up
do money is yourn. Wat yeuh was do piece
born, eh?
A policeman rushed up and scattered tho
crowd. The policeman asked tho fat man
if he want'd the colored man arrested, and
the fat man thinking, n< > doubt, of tho trouble
it would give him, decided in tho nega
tive. As the colored man walked off he wua
heard to snv: "Ebcrv time I picks up some
thing wirin'' white man euras 'long and says
it ’longs to him. I walks and I looks for my

THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY. AUGUST 6, 1887.
ECUADOR’S LATEST EARTHQUAKE.
Women in Procession in the Streets
Prayi g for Protection.
Panama, July 25. —A latter from Cuenca,
Ecuador, dated Juno 29, furnishes the fol
lowing account of recent earthquakes in
that region:
"It is now 10 a. m. and the whole city is
in a state of alarm. At 0:30 o’clock thin
morning a terrible earthqwdto awoke the
greater part of our citizens aud nearly all
of them rushed Into the streets without
clothing on thorn. The movement was ac
companied with a loud and fearful noise.
In tho streets and in the squares
tho people threw themselves on
their knot's, begging the Divine mercy.
The curates meanwhile wore exhorting tho
peoplo to fly to tho churches. The turrets
of Sou Bins Church topplod over with a
loud crash and tho wails of most of the
churches have been severely damaged.
Most of the houses have been destroyed and
the few still standing lire damaged. Should
another shock follow the city will be com
pletely wrecked. Letters from Arzogues re
port damage there and the Town Hull is
destroyed. Omar h:is also suffered loss."
Writlng at noon of that day the same
writer said:
“Tho earthquakes continue without cessa
tion. All tho bridges are damaged. The
hospital is almost totally destroyed. Tho
telegraph informs us tho shocks have boon
felt everywhere us far as Tulcan, but with
leas violence than here. A procession is now
passing through tho streets composed of all
the ladies hi the city, and they are implor*
ing tho Almighty to apiioaso his wrath."
Tho shocks Injured the lighthouse at Puntn
Arenas, and one of the keepers had visited
Guayaquil to obtain malarial with which to
repair it.
The shook broke all the telegraph wires iu
Guyaquil. The .Vacton of Julv 1 saym
“Telegraphic communication with Guar
aiulu having been re-established, we have
received a message which informs us the
eaothquake was fearfully severe there and
that it has caused loss of life aud done much
damage,"
Tho saino paper of June 29 says: “Yes
terday morning at 0:20 we wore visited by
a prolonged earthquake, which is estimated
to have lasted two minutes and twenty sec
onds. It was accompanied with a deep,
rumbling sound, and it Ims been the strong
est we have felt for many years. Houses
swayed to and fro, and only tho system on
which our houses are built has prevented
tho destruction of tho city. A large num
ber of houses have nurtured, more or less,
severely. At tho time mentioned all the
public clocks and tho greater number of
those in private residences came to a stand
still. At the time tho whole sky was of
leaden hue, except toward Tuugurngua,
whore there Was a yellowish lmzo such as
frequently proceeds tempests,and which,ac
cording to many, iu the invariable precursor
of eruptions."
For several days after the earthquakes
ashw fell In quantities in various parta of
the country.
AN EXPENSIVE DIVERSION.
What It Cost® to Koep a Steam
Yacht.
New York, Aug. S. —As millionaires be
come ploutier in New York, it is difficult to
Imagine how pooplo who are bound to be
singular and exclusive will find diversions
sacred to themselves. Already steam
yachting, that sport which, a few years
ago, was restricted to half a dozen
families, is comparatively common. That
is to say, not less than fifty steam yachts
are now afloat with wealthy New Yorkors
onboard. The Astors aud the Vanderbilts
sot the fashion, and os many follow
as are able. It is considered especially
desirable not to go to tho popular resort*, no
matter how generally favored or costlj
they may be, but to sail clear away from
society on a yacht, leaving tho rest of the
world to discuss and envy the fortunate
yaohtsmen. Tho exclusive character of
steam yachting cannot be more strikingly
demonstrated than by culling one littla Item
from the statistics on this branch of marine
information. There aro only 75 steam
Yachts over 100 feet in length in all Amer
ica. None of these boats make less
than 15 miles an hour, and most of
them are capable of a tnms-At
lant.o trip. Several of them, like
James Gordon Bennett's Namouna, havo
boon around the world. The Namouna is
226 feet long, over all. The largest steam
yacht yet built is Wilfiaui K. Vanderbilt’s
new boat, tho Alva, which is 285 feet long.
It costs tho owner of the Alva upward of
$1,21)0 a month to run his yacht on an ocean
voyage, without sponding any money ou
provisions for himself and guosts. Asa
fashionable thing can not servo its purpose
without being displayed, tho oost or enter
taining guests constitutes the biggest part of
the bill in steam yachting. It is said that
Vanderbilt, on the Alva, and Jay Gould, 'in
tho Atulauta, frequently spend S2OO
a day for their sport. When tho Alva goal
to sea she carries a pilot, two engineers, two
firemen, a steward, a cook and seven sailors.
Besides these, thore ore servants in propor
tion to the numtier or guests. The boat is
not unjustly called a floating palace, for it
is so arranged internally that the owner aud
his friends may live almost exactly as they
do on shore. The dining saloon, for instance,
Is 18 by 31 feet in measurement. There is a
well stocked library, and ten suites of
rooms, in each of which is included a sitting
room, chamber and bathroom; and there is,
beside.-,—a feature which is probably to bo
found ou no other yacht in the world—a nur
sery and governesses.
SHE HATES PARROTS.
Polly’s Undignified Remarks Applied
to the Wearer of a Queer Hat.
From the Brockton Gazette.
Parrots are funny birds. Perhaps tho
funniest one in this city is at the police sta
tion. This parrot is the property of City
Marshal Bailey, aud is 8 years old. Tho
bird is a good talker, and tho police officers
make a groat pet of Polly, who seems to
enjoy it. Bhe makes life a burden to Rover,
the police dog, by whistling at him. Bho
also makes the officers laugh whenever a
prisoner is brought in. by exclaiming,
“Here’s unother druuk,” whether it is such
or not.
Polly enjoys perfect freedom and is never
kept in a cage. Hhe perches on a stick
driven into one of tho wooden posts. Quite
frequently Polly files across the room to the
window, and every one who passes and fails
to say “Good morning, Polly, 1 ' is sure to
hoar from her parrotsiiip. The other day
an elderly lady, well dressed, happened to
pass by the station, having on a peculiar
looking hat. Polly exclaimed, “Bhoot tho
hat 1” Tho wearer of the lieudgear turned
around is amazement to find out the parson
who uttered such insulting remarks, but
she failed to sec Polly. Tho woman had
only started again when she was told to
“Go along, you old sinner.” This scntenco
made the woman angry. She walked upas
far as the iioliee station door, and there she
beheld Polly, who greeted her with u long,
loud laugh. That woman hates parrots
after her experience with Polly of tho police
station.
