fur in.staneo. as the statement that;
the deceased lady was the daughter j
of Field Marshal Prince Pariatin-
sky, while in reality she was only
the sister of the distinguished war
rior. The Princess Wittgenstein was
one of the most wonderful women
of her time. Gifted with raVe beauty
in her youth, and with unusual in
telligence, she had exercised a con
siderable influence on many politi
cal men. and from the retreat in
which sh- had chosen to confine
herself for many years previous to
her death she had ruled despotical
ly over fjuite a large section of the
aristocratic society of Frame, Italy
and Germany, as well as of Ku.-sia.
A Dctout Catholic.
A eonvert to the Roman Catholic
fuith. she had been a representative
of that ultramontane faction of it
which had owned Louis Vauillot for
its leader. Though a friend of Ris
hop Dupanloup, she had neverthe
less condemned the tolerant spirit of
the latter, and in all questions re
lating to the omnipotence of the
Roman church she hid showed her
self the most fanatic anions its
fanatic, partisans. The gentle views
of men such as Count de Montalem-
bert. for instance. had constantiv

of the Greek church of which she

the horrors of the .Spanish inqui.si
tion, and her vigorous mind, though
so clear and lucid as other points,
had as to this particular one re
mained imbued with a prejudice
which was tve more to be wondered
at that it extended only totlhat one
sinjrle question and matter.
Her life had been a kind of ro
mance, if only on account of thost
which composed the existence of hr
numerous children, but this ircum
Ftunee had not interfered with hr
personal appreciation of the deli
which she could set out of it. L
her. death s-he remained faithful to
her love for pretty things, for art in
all its manifestations; and also, if
the truth need be said, for intrUu
no matter in what shape and form
it could ! conducted. In that re
spect she was a true personification
of this type of Russian woman,
which before here time had he' n in
carnated in Kreat ladies such as the
Princess Ixischkoff in the flays of
Catherine the Great, and the famous
Princess hieven in he first half of
the last century. A personal friend
of almost t-very crowned head in
F.urope, she affected to disdain
them, while at heart craving their
attention and delighting in their in
timacy. .he wan a "crand dame"
to her linger tips, and a politician
into the barKain. It is to be ques
tioned whether she ever showed her
self an amiable woman, or even a
charitable and indulgent one. in re
gard to those whom she did not like.
Youthful inc Affairs.
In her youth. the episodes of
which no living creature now re
mern tiers, and which it is likely she
had forgotten herself, she had been
accused of many frailties, and had
been the heroine of several love af
fairs that at the time they occurred
had been the talk of Kurope. They
had, however, in no way impaired
her position as leader of one of the
most select aristocratic sets of that
exalted society amid whi'ih she
moved, and the world had ignored
them just as she had ignored them
herself. When she had passed mid
dle age she became one of the most
seere judges or the conduct or
i tiu.r ,,.nm..n tb.t , .,i 6r viwt,i
and she seemed to take a particular
pleasure in throwing at others the
stones which by a lucky chance had
never been thrown at her. though
she had richly deserved them.
When she became a widow, in
ISM, she had been parted from her
husband. Prince. Iouis Frederick of
.Sayn-Wittgenstein, for more years
than could have been counted. The
separation had been a perfectly
amiable one, acceptable to both par
ties, ami, when the prince died, his
consort put on mourning, accord
ing to custom, and wore it for the
usual period sanctioned by this cus
tom while making no secret of the
fact that in doing so she was per
formed a social duty, and nothing
else. The various love adventures
of her sons were engrossing her at
tention at the time. The eldest one
had married, to her horror and that
of his other relatives, the daughter
of a Jew- usurer, who had compelled
him to acquit himself in that way of
'the dehts which he had incurred.
This marriage gave rise to many re
criminations, together with a con
siderable number of lawsuit.", and,
after the death of the prince, his
widow married again a Raron on
Reischach and settled in Berlin,
touch to the renewed disgust of the
Wittgenstein family.
The two other sens of Princess
Reonille also forgot to follow the
exigencies of their rank, the second
one. Prince Fritz. renouncing his
claims to the entailed castle of Sayn,
near Cohlenz. in favor of his broth
er. Prince Alexander. and taking

In liusanne the Princess Witt
uenstein became a fixture, and was
! ikmvh by evcryiiody. though few
people were admitted into her pres
ence. She was very generous in re
gird to the needs of the poor, and
also gave large sums of monev for
many improvements in the town,
whrre she was considered as a kind
of small sovereign. 1 fore whom
everybody bowed with deep respect.
When she celebrated the 10'. th an
niversary of her birth, on May 9.

c. i.gratulatory messages. and the
ma.vor and other authorities of liu

she replied to the addresses which
wer' presented to her that she
hoped she wouM live for another
tentur;. which would perhaps al.ow
iter to see the town in a better con
dition than it was at the time, a
compliment which it seems was not
appreciated by those to whom it was
ad Iressed.
The Princess Leomlle hated a!I
her near relatives, and the only
member of her immediate family
h had found favor in her eves
was the Countess Flizaleth Schou

Kuehlmann Elaborates on
Scheme Which Would Place
Teuton Emperor in Con
trol of Baltic.
WASHINGTON, -March IS. Fur
ther light is shed upon the G r van
sc heme to extend permanent control
over the Russian Raltic provinces
by an official dispatch today from
Fiance. The dispatch says:
"Von Kuehlmann (the German
foreign minister ) elaborated the
grand diplomatic scheme which
without direct annexations reserved
to Germany the protectorate of
Courland and Lithuania, and aban
doning of Russian Poland to Austria.
The opposition of Rudendorff caus-
c as far as Austria and Poland, arc
concerned, the failure of this plan,
but the military administration very
seriously tried to put it into execu
tion in the territories attached to
the zone of Herman influence.
In September, l'Jl", the Raltic
provinces were placed under the
authority of the grand headquarters
of the armies in the east. After
some delay they were organized Sep
tember Hi. The Courland diet which
existed under the Russian rule but
which had only been convoked ir
regularly in many years was elected
by the land owners. The barons are
all of the Germanic race. Septem
ber l it was decided to address to
the general commander in chief un
der the name of the provincial
council, ii representative assembly
of all classes of the nation and no",
simply the land owners.
IIova Scheme Was Worked.
"The body was organized in this
way: Six delegates from the lar"e
landed proprietors, six from average
owners, four from the towns, one
from the country. three from the
clergy nd it guaranteed to the Ger
man minority of the Courland pop
ulation the majority of the seats.
For greater safety the 'JO members
of the council were not elected by
those interested but were chosen bv
the diet itself. Thev could onlv he J
dociled in the hands of Germany."
"It is this provincial council
which met on March S unde-- the
presidency of the German admin
istration and took the resolution up
on the initiative ot six barons to pro-
pose to the Rerlin government a
series of military, excise, customs,
judicial and university conventions
and to offer the ducal crown to
Rmpcror William.
The pan-Germanic press ratur-
ally applauds enthusiastically while
other papers manifest a certain sur
prise. The emperor, however, seems
inclined to accept the crown if not
for himself then for one of his sons."

MASONIC BUILDING AT
CAMP IS DESTR0vED
CAMP SHF.KMAN', .. March 1?.
Fire this afternoon gutted the
Masonic lod-ie. a building in the
community group at the national
army cantonment here, erected at
a cvt of $i:,e00.
The blaze started on the second
floor of the lodge, which contained
15 rooms and soldier iiremen of the
r..nd infantry cut holes in the roof
to combat the flames. Most of the
furniture and contents of the build
ing was removed by soldiers, and
the extent of the loss was lessened
in this manner. The exact amount
of damage could not be estimated.
What started the tire is a mys
tery, as there were no Tires in the
building. The fire hid gained head
way when t:.rst noticed, and officers
at the camp say, if the wind of yes
terday had been 1 huving. the entire
building would have bten lost. This
is. the worst f re the camp has
knowr.. and officers praised the sol
diers for their work in combating
the flame?.
