Very Atlan- soon, hovrever, it was nude clear that ta was terribly in earnest, and would know no such word as fail. The United States government was asked for recognition, and when con gross had recovered from its surprise, an appropriation of $200,000 was made for a building and exhibit. In the on __ the appropriation many of the most distinguished orators of all three politi cal parties vied with each other in on thusiastic commendation of the enter Jjrise. It is said that General Coggswell of sachusetts, itmAtlanta, who hud helped Slier man bi had tears in his eyes when he spoke of her resurrection, and advocated the appropriation for a gov ornment exhibit. That debate and the action of the gov ernment international placed the exposition plane, at when once upon an and the invitations to foreign powers were sent out through the state department with the commendation of the govern rnent. they received serious considera tion govormnents to whom thev were addressed.

' ---- --- AIJ R LON DON n NEWS ^ n4J London, , , ,, November, . 25.—One V, has heard so niuch about the deli cate . state , , of , , health ... of , the ., crown princess of Sweden, who for three y cars has . , been reported in the last stages of consumption, 1 it being K pro- 1 claimed at the commencement of each wdnter that she could not pos- ‘ sibly live till . that i^ a. spying, is Some what startlinir to learn that a con sultation .. ot , the ., most . eminent . Oer man, Swedish and French special jsts, assembled for the purpose at Baden, has resulted in a definite decision that there is nothing on earth the matter with the princess save a nervous ailment of a hypo¬ chondriac character, ahnost identi¬ cal wdth thaf from which her mother-in-law, the queen of Swe¬ den, is suffering. These grpat medical authorities have at length decided that her throat andi lungs are in an abso¬ lutely healthy condition; that the physicians w'bo have been htmor ing her firm conviction that she was-dying of tuberculosis and treat¬ ing her for that ailment have been culpable of preferring to court their royal patient rather than to give an honest diagnosis, and that there was no reason whatsoever for her passing her winters in hot climates such as that of Cairo, Biskra in Al¬ giers, and in Sicily, as she has '■> «Se h*Mt of doing. All this must be exceedingly mortifying J to the • relative* of the princess, all the more when , they to mind the fuss made about her, tipcci.Uy when travoniog, the y°“-W'*d y ta.i,<£oo beta* conveyed to and from her railroad m apparetldy m sn almost unconscious condition. It remains to be seen what die worthy Swede* will say to this. They have hitherto been content to dispense with the princess’ presence a t Stockholm on the understanding *•»»»«.!.». f her i„„*s dM has remained to all intents and purpoges U.. without any lady at its «*.% ..b« „ f Ki „i ,° his scar second ' s t son, wl '° who \ s ti attracted ?° an 8 alliance with Miss Munck. The worst feature of the whole affair is that the crown princess has been content to live almost permanently apart from her thrive little hoys, the eldest and the youngest 6, who reside permanent j y w ith their father, the crown in Sweden, among the peo pie over whom the eldest of them is eventually to reign. The funny point in all is that the Swedes have undergone almost the same experience^with their queen, who lias been a confirmed hypo¬ chondriac for years, and has im magined herself into a state of de¬ bility from which she will probab¬ ly never entirely recover. For years she consulted the leading specialists of Europe, but only two —Dr. Metzger of Amsterdam and Wiesbaden and Dr. Friedrich of Heidelberg—had the courage to tell her that her malady was pure¬ ly imaginary, and that if she was suffering from anything it was merely from the medicines given to her by complaisant physicians who had found it worth their while to humor her belief that she was consumptive. There are, of course, lots of hy poehondriacs of this kind—people ■ w ho are, convinced that they arc | suffering from every malady under j the sun—and one of the most em¬ inent and famous specialists in di¬ seases of the chest in London open¬ ly confessed to me on one occasion that at least 80' per cent of the great ladies thronging ins waiting rooms were afflicted with immagi nary complaints. “It would not do, however, to tell them so,” he said, “If I were to do this they would merely go to other physicians, and would com plain everywhere of me as' in- ( capable of understanding their j cases.” astonishing Let me add that that the it is all the more priii- | crown cess of Sweden should have turned out thus, as she has received a most thorough and sensible education, her mother, the grand duchess of Baden, only daughter of old Em-! peror William, being one of the shrewdest, most unaffected and kindest-hearted women in Europe and most deservedly popular. I wonder what Emperor Wil ham, who is very proud of his per- j formances as r composer, will say witaokob^ ttMHwr Siegfried ! >V agner, on being questioned by the newspaper men of Paris aa to what success was attending thcqiro duction of bis majesty’s “Hymn to ■dEgir,” remarked that it was re¬ ceived everywhere in Germany with “a rwpectru! smile.” This is all the more unkind on the psrt of ‘b- v>a cf t*?e grt;Yt ma=3tr?, as Emperor William is an 1 erithusias tic Wagnerian and has simply over whelmed with favors both the truth in the stories current in Eu* ropean and American newspapers .. which «.... f;:^ nor is there r S truth ! iz? in the l. tale t « as 1 * to how he surprised his father and mother on one anniversary of their wedding day by playing one of Strauss’ most popular waltzes on that instrument. Those rc.pon.iblc for the circul*. tlon of this purely complimentary tale forget that the Emperor’s left arm is withered and useless and his hand deformed, He is not even able to hold a fork with his left hand, using instead a specially con¬ structed knife and fork combined with the right hand. It is there¬ fore difficult to understand how he could either hold his violin or finger the strings. It is probable that people confound him in this particular with his sailor brother, Prince Henry, who is a violinist of considerable skill,,arid has on more thaii one occasion followed the ex¬ ample of his uncle. Queen Vic¬ toria’s second son, the duke of Co¬ burg, and played in public. As might have been expected, Belgian courts have deckled in fi¬ nal appeal in favor o^thc king in the law’suit brought against him by the two counts de Cunchy. The latter charged his majesty with luiv ing obtained by unfair means and at one-fourth of its value a large piece of their property which he considered necessary to complete the park surrounding, his lovely castle of Ciergnon, ifi the Ardennes mountains.' The counts showed in the course of the trial that his majesty’s agents had first of all induced them to mortgage their property for the pur pose of raising sufficient capital to work some imaginary mines alleged to have been discovered in the dis trict; that the king’s agents had acquired these mortgages secretly, and that within tw’o hours after failure to pay the quarterly in¬ terest, 6wing to their absence at Pari.*, the mortgage had been fore apd a pretext of sale ar ranged, the result being that the king secured for considerably less 1,000,000 franc, property the ratable value of which amounted to over 4 ,000,000, franc.
