BERLIN, May 24.—Love and diplo
macy entered Into the marriage, to
day of* Princess Victoria ' Lutee, the
only daughter of Kmperor William
and Prince Brnst August, youngest
son of the Duke of Cumberland.
Tn brilliancy and in point of the
great number of royal personages
present the nuptials far outrlvalled
any similar event during the past de
cade.
. Proj\4 Kings, mon&rchs of lesser
rank and Crp.wn Princes and Prin
cesses saw the fair-haired, blue-eyed
twenty-oi\e-year-old daughter of the
.Q^npian .Kaiser, become one with the
strapping young 26-year-old Prince
a^id W/itty .t.hq qeremony was healed a
breach, between the House of Hohen-
zollern. an<l Guelph which has exist
ed for about half a, century.
The 4 ‘fnafrtage of the beautiful
young German Princess took place
upon-the silver, anniversary of the
wedding of Prince Henry of Prussia,
The ceremonies really began two days
ago f tvith the marriage ceremonies to
day' as the climax. The civil cere
mony took place in the new Marble
Palace at Potsdam; the religious rites
were celebrated in this city.
All Germany Interested.
Eversln^e ti\p engagement of the
Princess to the young scion of Cum
berland was announced last February
at Carlsruhe the German Empire
has been vitally interested in the ap-
prQ4ohing nuptials. Thousands of
persons came from all parts of the
Empire to iftake a gala occasion of
tha- (Tay.
Princess Victoria Luise selected for
her attendants three of the prettiest
giifl0 of her own caste in Europe.
Those invited to act as her brides
maids were Princess Mary, daughter
of King George and Queen Mary of
England; Princess Elizabeth, daugh
ter of King Charles of Roumania, and
Grand Duchess Olga, eldest daughter
pf tVie Czar of Russia. At the last
minute it was decided to increase the
number of bridesmaids to four so a
belated invitation was sent to Prin
cess Yolanda, of Italy. Princess Yo
landa has been called the reigning
beauty of Southern Europe.
As would be imagined the wedding
gifts are fabulous. Their value is
estimated at close to $3,000,000. The
Kaiser’s gift to his daughter consists
of a number of articles, among them
jewelry qf his own design. Many
German cities appropriated sums
ranging from. $i^0()0 to $50,000 for the
purchase of gifts. The great courts
of Europe sent costly and beautiful
presents.
Wedding. Gifts Costly.
Usually in marriage the wedding
gifts'a re supposed to he shared equal
ly by the bride and groom but in the
imperial marriage to-day Prince
Ernst gets one gift of which the
bride shares ito part.
.The Kaiser was so glad that the
old Quarrel with the House of
Guelph was settled that, after the
marriage had been arranged, he'
promised 'to create a new German
state and make the groom the ruler
of .it. Accordingly Prince Ernst
to-day became the Duke of Bruns
wick and the Grand Duke of Dune-
burg. This gives the young husband
a responsible job and makes him the
equal in rank with the Kings of
Saxony and Wurtemburg and the
Prince Regent of Bavaria. A con
siderable portion of tl>e Province of
Hanover, which belongs to Prussia,
was taken over and added to the new
state. *
Princess Victoria Luise and Prince
Ernst August have known each other
for nearly three years and in spite
of the repeated assertions in anti-
govemment quarters that it is purely
a marriage for the sake of politics,
those in cburt circles say that real
love, enters into the match. Pictures
have been printed of the engaged
pair walking holding hands.
The bride’s full name is Victoria
Du fee ? Adelheld Mathilde Charlotte
Hohenzollern. Princess of Prussia,
and she Was horn in the Potsdam
Palace, September 13. 1892, fulfilling
a fond wish of her parent? for they
already had six sons. The Princess
grew into a very beautiful girl, un
der the personal care of her mother
who taught her the science of home
making.
Princess Patriotic Girl.
In intimate circles Emperor Wil
liam called her “one of my little ones”
and innumerable pictures have been
printed'showing the deep filial love
of the fair young Princess for her
Gather -and mother.
The Princess is a very patriotic
girl and insisted that, her magnificent
trousseau should be made in Germany
and it was.
. Prince Ernst August was reared to
the profession of a soldier. His full
name is * Ernst August < ’hretien
Qeorge of the Brunswick-Luneburg
branch of the -House of Guelph. He
is an officer in the Bavarian Cavalry.
The quarrel between the two houses
has lasted forty-seven years. The
blind King George V of Hanover
maintained his right to the Hanover-
rian throne after Prussia annexed his
kingdom, and was sent into exile.
The Duke of Cumberland (father of
the groom) swore at nis dying fath
er’s bedside in Paris that he would
never become reconciled to the Crpwn
of Prussia and would jjoVer renounce
his rights to the throne of Hanover.
Many Americans Thepe.
. But love and diplomacy found a
way .even if cypid is presumed to be
blind and diplomacy moves with pon
derous steps with absolutely no trace
of sentiment..-

REAL ‘KNEE JERK’
Man From Monk Offers to Tell
Beavers Just How Far Patrol
man Walks in a Night.
If that gold bearing, silver toned
voice of Enrico Cariiso’a ever fails
him, all he will have to do, accord
ing to the latest medical lore, is to
go around tapping himself on the
bones and the vibrations that result
will be musical. He can tap his
knuckles and get a pleasing jingle,
whereas, with most folk, the result
would only be a discord.
Music, according to the new au
thority, is built 1nto % the frame. If
one’s chest and bones and throat are
put together on a musical basis, there
isn’t any power on earth that can
keep the owner of the melodiously
built frame from being musical.
Dr. William Lloyd, the famous
London throat specialist, found the
advantage that Caruso has over the
rest of mankind when he made a re
cent examination. He found th9t
Caruso had physical characteristics
that allowed him to produce musical
sgunds in almost unlimited volume
and that the quality of the structure
of the throat was just as muen

The Monk man has invented the
"knee jerk." This is not the knee
that alienists use in testing in
sane criminals, but 4s a mechanical
device to recoYd the distance walked
by policemen on their beats. It is
termed the "knee jerk." says the in
ventor, for the reason that it is

All of this information came out
Friday in a letter received by Chief
of Police Beavers from Winthrop, who
urged that his invention be tried out
by the Atlanta police department. He
explained that he has already taken
the matter with the New York
police department, but. being a Geor

the proposition to equip the
entire police department of 260 men
with "knee jerks" aj $50 each. The
price, he suggested, is $100
each. It will, therefore, cost Atlanta
but $12,500 to ascertain the distance
each policeman walks on his beat.
"The knee jerk registers only when
the policeman is actually walking—
there is no chance for him to make it
register while sitting or lying down,”
writes the inventor.
He added:
"The knee jerk is something on the
order of a speedometer, although not
quite so heavy. It is an accurate
gauge to show whether policemen are
properly patrolling their beats.”
As Chief Beavers chucked the let
ter in a waste basket, he laughingly
remarked that he didn’t think At
lanta quite ripe yet for the "knee
jerk."
"I think I’ll write to Mr. Winthrop,
however, and suggest that lie give

wonderful invention.”
adapted for emitting sound as tho
shell of a fine violin.
Music in His Bones.
The chest capacity of the singer,
gave him unusual aid in work, while
the peculiar construction of the en
tire throat machinery enabled him to
let loose vibrations at a higher rate
than almost any other subject.
Then the doctor found that Caruso
had music in his bones.
The simple tapping of the Caruso
knuckles resulted in a vibration that
was different from that of an ordinary
mortal. The pitch of the vibration
produced by a blow is higher qnd
more resonant.
The distance from the front teeth
to the vocal cords is half an inch
more than in most tenors, and the
vocal tube, the doctor found, was of
unusual length.
In other words, Caruso was just
built that way when it came to sing
ing.
The suggestion that comes from
th^| doctor’s report on the plans and
specifications of the Caruso throat
and mouth is one that might give
the commercial age a chance to lo
cate future singers without the slight
est trouble.
All that would be necessary would
be for the experts in throat construc
tion to go around to the schools and
examine the children, sort them out
in bunches and let them develop.
Easy to Pick Artists.
It would be perfectly easy to pick
out the boys whose bones, vocal
cords and throat material had the
tenor elevation, while the basso and
baritone chaps might be known by
the way their bones were set.
So little Willie Jones would not
have any trouble knowing what his
future will be. He could tell the
teacher that there was no use trying
to pound electrical engineering or
cube root into him, because the school
doctor had picked him out as a singer
who could not escape his future even
if he tried.
The veriest chump of a teacher
would know that if the front teeth
of one of her pupils had half an inch
the start on the other pupils in the
race from the vocal cords the owner
of the unhandicapped teeth had a
cinch on becoming great as a
warbler.
On the other hand the young men
and young women who have been
spending their money at conserva
tories tryin~ to cultivate voices that
are not and never will be will have
a chance to find out just where they
stand in the realm of art.
They can go to the doctor and con
fess that they have spent $1,728 try
ing to get in the genius class and get
an expert line of dope on the pros
pects of ultimately landing before the
footlights with the bouquets coming
over in bunches.
Great Aid to Critic*.
The scientific statement is that
there is a fixed and definite relation
between the construction of the bones,
cords, muscles and tissues and the
volume and character of sound that
the owner of the said hones can emit.

flexible foot rule will answer all of
the purposes of a musical critic.
Naturally, the critic might profit by
the development of science and place
his art upon the exact status of
mathematics by closing his criticism
of a singer in some fashion like this:
"Miss Smith-Jones-Brovvn cannot
sing. That we may not he accused
of bias, we submit that it is onfy
three inches and seven-sixteenths
from the southwest corner of the eye
tooth to the extended arc subtended
by the vocal cord; hence, quod erat
demonstrandum, she hasn’t a ghost
of a chance to sing because it would
take four-sixteenths of an inch more
of space to even ’get in ffle class
where the lady could gargle songs
through a megaphone at a moving
picture show.”
■ But that is getting science down to
a point that is beyoncr the average
man and woman, and. besides, it : s
all based upon the statement of a
doctor, and doctors do not agree.
