MAKING GREAT GENS. DESCRIPTION OF KRTJPP'o famous ESTABLISHMENT AT ESSEN. Bow a Start Was Made Throa-Quarters of a Century Ago—A Singlo Work shop Then—A City of Factories Now —The Beautiful Krupp Villa—Notea of Personal Interest. Corretpondeuce Washington Evening Star. Dusseldore, Her., July 22.—The receipt of a letter from Fred. Krupp, informing mo that lie had assumed control of the Krupp works ft Essen and the vast estate of his father, the late Alfred Krupp, reminds me of my promise to send the Star n tew lines in regard to this celebrated establishment that holds such an impoi taut position in the business world. It is located at Essen, on the Ruhr, within the consular district of liusseldorf. and is not only the largest of its kind in Germany but is said to be the largest in the world. Acres of ground are covered by buildings nnd they are filled with the most improved machinery and appliances of every kind for the manufacture of guns, gun-carriages, machinery and tools. The contracts of the company extend over the entire world, with every nation, and tho number of their employes steadily at work is now about 20,t>00. Orders are at present being filled by the works for tho United [States in connection with the new ships for the navy, and on private account their ship ments every week to the ports of America of steel, iron machinery and tools are enor mous. THE WORKS AT ESSEN, some five miles from the Krupp villa, are encircled by heavy brick walls. Watchmen are at every gate and officials in uniform are everywhere. Admission is denied to all ex cept those on special business, accompanied by an attendant. The Krupp colony, with families, aggregates over (>O,O(K. Tho em ployes are quartered in a city adjoining tho works, numbering thousands of houses. The best order prevails and the wants of the Sle are supplied by bake-houses, stores, i, slaughter-houses, schools, hospitals, churches and boarding-houses—in reality an entire city, belonging'solely to Krupp and the works. The establishment has an army of officials, among the number por.sons who have occupied high positions in the affairs of state and who came to Krupp, preferring his service to that of the government. It is the largest establishment of the kind in the world owned by a single individual, and the entire estate is left to one son, Fred. Alfred Krupp. The entire business of Krupp has of late been in tho hands of a chief manager, at a salary of $15,000 per annum, with a corps of able assistants at high salaries, and nei ther the elder nor young Krupp has of late taken a very active part in the business management, THE ELDER KRUI'P was over 75 years of age at the time of his death, which occurred July 14. Tho cir cumstances attending his death are some what painful. He was estranged from his wife for some reason unknown to the pub lic, and his son and only heir, Fred Kruup, a man about 40 years of age, was with his wife at Heidelberg sick. The old gentle man, with his millions, died at his villa alone, in the solitude of the forest that sur rounds the place, without relative or friend near, and attended in his last moments only by the servants that were usually in the household. THE BEAUTIFUL KRUPP VILLA. He lived and died at his villa, Hugel, on the Ruhr, a magnificent building of great dimensions, located upon an eminence, sur rounded by 800 acres of land, beautifully laid out in parks, drives, lawns, etc.; the building commanding an extended view of the surrounding country, “the valley of the Ruhr." The interior of the villa is a mar vel of elegance and taste on a grand scale, aud few buildings in the empire can be found that are in such perfect proportion and that contain so many curiosities anil works of art. In one of the rooms may be seen a mirror, in size 7xlo feet, a most per fect aud beautiful looking glass, which, upon close inspection, is found to bo made of polished cast-steel. It is a costly work and said to be the only one of the kind in existence. Numbers of other groat ouriosi ties could bo mentioned, but neither time Bor space will permit. Mr. Krupp, even within a few days of his death, was busy in the laboratory that ad joins his villa with experiments and the de velopment of new ideas in connection with his vast interests. Ho was said to be the richest man and the largest taxpayer in the German empire. A title of nobility was offered by the German government to him, which he declined. As late as 1N54 his en tire force (which now numbers 20,000) was but 540 workmen, and his extensive estab lishment but a tithe of what it at pi-esentis. He was undoubtedly one of the most re markable men of the times. Kings and princes have shown him great respect, and nations ixave sought his workshops in times of peace as wen as war. Upon the an nouncement of his death messages 0 f con dolence were sent to the family from the Emperor, Prince Bismarck, the Crown Princo of Germany and other high officials, and a number of dignitaries attended the funeral, among them tho President of Rhein- Frussia and other officials of the govern ment from this and other places. Many years ago the late Admiral Farragut, while on foreign sdi-vice, having a grout desire to see Mr. Krupp and his famous establish ment, in company with Commodore Har mony, the present Chief of the Bureau of Yards and Docks, Navy Department, then n young officer, came up the valley of the Rhur to Essen and visited Mr. Krupp. They were received by him with courtesy and kindness, and left greatly impressed with what they had seen, particularly in the line of ordnance and g unmaking. THE FOUNDATION OF THE KRUPP WORKS was a small shop, erected over 70 years ago, on tho site of the present works at Alten- Ksseu, run by water power, where for 10 years, from 1810 to 1830 Fred. Krupp, tho father of the deceased, assisted by but two workmen, spent his time aud what means he had in trying to invent n new method for producing crucible cast-steel. The elder Krupp died in 1826, Hi* yearn of age, after a life of hardship, in which he sacrificed health and fortune with but limited results. His successor was his eldest son, Alfred Krupp, who recently died, assisted at first by a younger brother, who soon left tho Place for other fields of industry. Alfred Krupp labored assiduously lip to the year IMS, surmounting many difficulties, ]>er formiug day’s work as a laborer, with no encouragement or means, until finally, by great perseverance, untiring energy and the help or a few friends, his business began to develop und flourish. hi 1544 lie received a gold Prussian modal at the Berlin exhibition, and at the Ijondon exhibition tho “Council medal'' forexliibit j.nK an ingot of cast steel, weighing nearly jUMi pounds. After this the I'anieof Krupp began to extend over the entire world, and Rom that time the use of cast-steel in Ku r"pe became better known. Mr. Krupp wii.- the owner of the greatest number of patents in the empire, or appliances for machinery, tools, railroad materials, guns ftml gun-carriages. Since tho year 1840 Runs have been manufactured at the Krunp w orks from cast steel. In the year 1847 Krupp sent n cast-steel gun to Berlin, which "as thoroughly tested and the superiority of the material and workmanship admitted by the government. Not only in the inauu luriuro of steel guns, but in shells and ex plosives did the Krupp system take the lead o| id the premium in competition Since the yor IWjO the Bebsemer and other systems for manufacturing crucible rastrsteel havo '■ecu In use, the Bessemer system in particu lar tieing a specialty of the works In which Kteat perfection bus tioaii reached.

Edinburgh, Aug. 16. —Sir Walter Scott has made historic almost every point in Scotland. The most prosaic visitor to Ediu ! burgh will find himself touched with the ro mantic while standing on Colton Hill, be neath another Parthenon, looking out over the old town and the new. One wide hori zon embraces both, and the additions of I mountains and sea, impart something of the everlasting freshness of nature to the new city and the old. Many of those ro mantic charms have their origin in the ge nius of Scott, and in those marvelous fasci nations of fiction with which he has in vested this part of Scotland. It is true that there is scarcely a glen or loch, or a mountain side wliieh has not its legend, belonging rather to the domain of romance than to history. Mr. William Black, the novelist, has sought the inspiration of Scottish ground, and thereby' has given anew charm to many of the old localities in his more recent publications. Burns, in the lowlands, hus done as much as Scott in the Highlands to invest the lands with these marvelous charms. Indeed, there is no more abiding presence in all Scotland than Robert Burns, while every character to which a song of his has given being, still inhabits the scene in which he placed it. And among the Scotch people there is not an incident connected either w ith himself or the objects of his love or the creations of his genius, lacks a devoted and unfading remembrance. ROB ROY’S COUNTRY. However, it was with Rob Roy’s country that I wished to write. I can never forget the thrill of expectancy' with which I found myself environed as I begun to realize the nearness of the actual scenery of Rob Roy’s exploits. Leaving Edinburgh in the morning on a summer day, with the pure highland atmosphere filling the lungs, ami watching the suusbine and shadow chasing each other over the mountain tops, and with a copy of Scott’s matchless story in hand, the approach to Aberfoyle about noonday, all the incidents of the famous McGregor’s life became as real as the particular spots with which they were connected. The “Clachan of Aberfal,” at which Francis Osbaldistone and Bailie Jarvie sought to spend a night, has been changed to an elegant brick hotel, called the “Bailio Jnrvie Nicol Hotel.” At this point we changed from rail to coach, and I was favored with a seat next to the driver, who proved to be exceedingly com municative after a special donation of a shilling or two. TTie long whip cracked harmlessly over the heads of a splendid team as they dashed at full speed up the mountain’s side, over one of tne finest roads that I have ever traveled over. Our jehu informed us that from the point of starting until wo reached the banks of Loch Lomond, the whole land belonged to his Grace the Duke of Montrose. In the far distance the most remarkable mountain in all the range could be seen the summit of Ben Lomond. As we reached still higher heights, the rugged sides of Ben A’anand Ben Venu came m sight. As we turned the loftiest peak the most enrapturing scene burst upon our view. The Kossacks, rising in their loveliness, glitter ing in their green attire beneath an even ing’s sun, ana lying calm and fair at their feet was Loch Katrine— “ln whose deep heart, where cloud and sky ex pand. Perpetual joy, perpetual music wakes; Fairer than all thy sisters in the land, Thou art thyself the Lady of tho Lakes.” The descent was rapid and the evening made joyous by constant exclamations of wonder and surprise at the ravishing beauty of the scene. On reaching Lake Katrine we dismissed the coachman and boarded the little steamer awaiting our approuch. We had a charming sail of ten miles. “Ellen’s Isle” and the “Silver Strand” on the oppo site shore brought Ellen’s actuality so forcibly to the mind that no one could douht of her pathetic story. * HELEN M’GREGOR’S BIRTH PLACE. Soon after leaving Loch Katrine we come to the spot where Helen McGregor, the wife of Rob Roy, was born. The old stone house, with its thatched roof, still stands in which her eyes opened to the light for the first time. Her history was filled with bitter ness and disappointment. The clan McGregor was on account of the massacre of a body of students whom curiosity had induced to witness the battle of Glenfuin in which the McGregors were the victors, were by law deprived of their very name and every effort made to annihi late the whole clan. They were dispersed and persecuted to the utmost by the act of Council of the realm June 24, 1613; death was declared against any persons of the tribe formerly called MoGregor who should pre sume to assemble in greater numbers than four. ROB ROT, OR RED ROBERT, became a cattle trader after his marriage, and his talents boing of no mean order, he inspired general confidence and done a suc cessful business. One of bis patrons was the Duke of Montrose, who advanced him sums of money at various times to assist him in his business. But the depression of the cattle trade brought financial failure to Rob Roy’s plans, and he was unable to pay. He left his home at Inversnaid ; on Loch Lomond, and went into the interior of the Highlands —not empty-handed, if reports be true, and changed his commercial adventures for speculations of a very dif ferent kind. The Duke of Montrose seized Rob Roy’s landed property and stock to make good his indebtedness, and in doing so raised the ire of Rob's wife, who was said to lie a woman of imperious and haughty temper. But she was drivon from her home and in her extreme anguish at being ex pelled from the banks of Loch Lomond gave vent to her feelings in a fine piece of pipe music still known to amateurs by the name of “Rob Roy’s Lament” It is well to remember these facts to ap preciate Helen McGregor’s eloouent reply to Capt. Thornton, of the English army, who was seeking the life of her husband. As he approached the summit of tho rock on which she was standing, with unsheathed Rword, “Stand,” said she, with a command ing tone, “and tell me what ye seek in McGregor’s country?” “We seek the out luw, Rob Roy, and make no war on woman, therefore assure yourself of no evil treat ment.” “Ay,” retorted Helen McGregor, draw ing herself up to fullest height; “I am no stranger to your tender mercies. Ye have left tne neither name nor fame. My mother's bones will shrink aside in thoir grave when mine are laid beside them. Ye have left me neither house nor hold, blanket nor bedding, cattle to feed us or flocks to i-Jot,lie us. Yo have taken from us ull—all! The very name of our ancestors have ye taken away, and now ye come for our lives.” The trip from I/Och Katrine to Inversnaid was rather tame compared with the other part of the journey. Our driver was very mute, ami as nobody showed him a six pence he left us to our own sightseeing and reflections. Our party, it Isilng Saturday evening, concluded to sjiend Sunday in Hob Roy’s country. We parted with a vrry pleasant company and rested on the banks of the most beautiful lakes in Scotland, Loch I/imond. Hither the celebrated Dr. Thomas Guthrie, of Edinburgh, used to come every summer to rest and recuperate. His letters from this pomt had created a great desire to see the bosom of this tranquil lake, and hence we se lected the Sabbath to enjoy this quietness. We devoted Saturday evening to visiting Rob Kov’s cave on the cliff overlooking the lake. 'This was the freebooter's hiding place when pursued by his enemies. It is difficult of approach. We hired an old Scotchman to pilot us thither. He car ried us in a boat something over n mile up the east side of the lake, and then up an almost perpmidiculur cliff, where steps iiregularlv made rendered it only possible. The mouth of the cave is small, and would scarcely bo noticed by the casual passer-by. Creeping through this small entrance, and by a sharp turn, w* i reach a me re eavei u, hut tuts THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1887. is only tho vestibule. By a ladder we as cend into the large chamber, known in those early days of rapine and plunder as the hiding place of Rob Roy and his elan. Wo brought away a few lobbies as trophies from the robbers' cave. OK ALL THE SCENERY on the British isle this is the most attrac tive nnd charming. A lovely waterfall keeps up its perpetual music just, below our window, and the great mountains hedge us in on oil h‘*r side, and the transparent waters of Loch Lomond spred out ill everlasting beauty at the foot of tho hill. Sunday is a peaceful, restful day. We attended service at the chapel, about a mile up the mountain side, and enjoyed the sim ple won,hip of these plain Scotch mountain eers. In the afternoon we visited on old Scotch home. We reach it by a serpentine pathway around the mountain side. Wo find, in a small low stone but, two ancient maiden ladies and tlieir brother, who could not be less than 05 years of age. The youngest was about 60 years old. Here they had lived, and within these stone walls had lived for six generations the McFarlane family. How they lived would be hard to determine, especially for a stranger, yet seemed happy and contented. Their wants are few', and their resources are in keeping. Visitors leave a small contribution, and a shilling goes a long ways in that country among the poor. All this lovely picture and surroundings is marked by one trait so prominent in Rob Roy’s character. He has left his imprint upon the land to this day. He was the prince of blackmail levying. The present feneration are true to tlieir inheritance. Yery conceivable method is employed to rob the traveler in a genteel way, and if their purpose cannot bo met in that way, they do not hesitate to take it by force if need bo. Tho fashionable method is by the hotel lackies. It would make a Florida hotel man bite him self in rage at his own stupidity to see one of these hotel lackies make out a guest’s hotel bill at Inversnaid. For unblushing impu • deuce and genteel thievery commend mo to these Scotch hotel employes morning finds us on Loch La inond, and for thirty miles amid the most enchanting scenery we pass on to the great metropolis of Scotland, the city of Glasgow, where we terminate our journey through Rob Roy’s country. Sam Lkßeve. PRINCESS BISMARCK. A Not Very Refined Woman Who Likes to Have Her Way. Txmdon Letter to the New York Sun. A friend who, during a visit to Hom burg, has met and frequently dined with Bismarck’s wife kindly sends me an inter esting description of her. Princess Bis marck, who alone enjoys tho privilege of telling the master of Europe that he needs to change his collar or to be more careful about his personal appearance in general, was originally Fraeulein von Puttkamer, a member of a" noble Pomeranian family, and she is a most interesting woman, although probably not one in a thousand readers has ever heard anything about her. She can not be called lovely. She is past 00, very tall, and very gray. Her face is very strong, with large cheek bones. She is rather what a character of Dickens describes as a “fine figure of a woman,” inclined, perhaps, to be bony. Her acquaintance with the peo ple at Homhurg and Frankfort dates from the time long ago when Bismarck, not in the least a great man then, was simply an official at Frankfort. She made friends then to whom she has always remained true, and to whom she goes every year to see. Wherever Mrs. Bismarck is she rules. When she enters a house every window must lie closed tight, and no door can re main needlessly open, as she shares with tho French their morbid dread of currents of air. At table she is fond of talking, and speaks very loud and decidedly. Hho gets very much excited in discussion, and to con tradict her is not safe. She is very fond of music and discusses it learnedly, although she really knows little about it. This causes many wordy battles between her and her old friend, Baroness Willie Rothschild, one of the friends gained in Bismarck’s lass important days. The Baroness is old, and, like most Rothschilds, not remarkable fer beauty, but she is bright, really knows something about music, writes French songs, and composes a great deal. She plays and sings her own work, and she and the Princess Bismarck do a great deal of talking about it. The Princess shares her husband’s digest ive trouble, and relies, like him, upon the advice of the expert Dr. Hchvveininger, but, like her grand husband and the old Emperor, she quite refuses to be governed in her living by medical advice, and my cor respondent writes me how she drinks champagne almost frozen, in spit© of the entreaties of her lady companion, a precise and amiable old stiftsdame. “The only un favorable thing about Princess von Bis marck,” says my correspondent naively, “is that she neglects to consider how youth should bo talked to, and even at table, where young girls may be, does not repress her tendency to relate tales with a taint of Boccaccio.” Princess Bismarck has brought her boys up in the way they should go, and, although she lived a long time in a little hotel on Kiselogstrasse, they came frequently to see her, Herbert from Kcßiiigstein and William, who calls himself and likes to be called Bill Bismarck, from Hainan, not far from Frankfort, where he is landrath. Neither of the boys resembles his mother, but they take after their father, especially William, who is a wonderfully exact, though men tally diluted, reproduction. BUFFALO BILL’S BRIDE. Fay’s Reminiscence of a Louisville Girl, Wife and Widow. A correspondent of the Louisville Courier- Journal, writing from White Sulphur Bprings, Va., says: In vain have I looked through all the accounts published describ ing the Queen's Jubilee for some mention of Buffalo Bill. It was expected by his ad mirers that he would be ut the head of the Queen’s escort of Princes. Has English royalty gone back on the illustrious Bill? Evidently the Queen is not so particular about divorced men as she is about divorced women. While the wild Bill of the West was basking in the smiles aud patronage of royalty, someone with a too retentive mem ory recalled a little episode in his life which links Lzjuisville, as well as Washington, with tho varied fortunes of this illustrious gentleman. In the days of George I). Pren tice and the Louisville Journal there was a gentleman by the name of Whitely con nected with that paper. I think he was on© of the distiiiguislied Kentucky Colonels in the Mexican war, of which O’Hara, Haw kins, Pickett and others survived to add ad ditional honors to their names. Col. White ly married Miss Georgie Barcktay,a daugh ter of one of the old merchants of I/juisville. During the late “war between the Htutes” Col. Whitely, his wife, children nnd his mother-in-law, Mrs. Barekluy, lived in Washington, and he hod charge of tho New York Herald bureau. He wrote letters from the “front,” and stood at tho head of journalists. His wife died of consumption, and not long afterward Col. Whitely mar ried n handsome young girl who lived on Capitol Hill. Then the Colonel paid the debt of nature, aud that, with other debts, reduced his family to poverty, and the young and interesting widow obtained a clerkship in the Treasury. Next there ap peared on the scene the rich and fascinating Col. Cody. Shortly after it was announced that the fascinating Mrs. Whitely was en gaged to the Western millionaire. He re turned to Denver, aud tho lady was to ob tain a trousseau worthy of such magnificent prospects, and follow lior lover to his West ern home It was arranged that the wed ding hou!d take place inf Oliver. The pro gramme was carried out with great pomp, anil the bride was supposed to be an object of envy, until rumors reached her friend* of a Milt for divorce, which was obtained, and no one in Washington who knew Mrs. Whitely has heird of tier siuc#, and few identified the Col, Cody .Victoria'* pal, with Buffalo BUI, the idol ot Kiigikh royalty.

Yes, sir. or mum, as the ease may be. it is a positive fact, without thiislighteat exaggeration.

How could such a trade lie gotten up? It don’t, look reasonable. Nevertheless it is a fact, ami the only ex planation is that when oil Savannah gets drowsy we wake up and get in our w ork.
