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 living, I does.

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.
