KAISER WILHELM'S NEPHEW ¢ Prines Leopold Astonishes New York Bociety By Exhibiting His Good Sense, COGHLAN'S LANGTRY KISS. A Distinguished Coaching Party—A Pretty Milk Maia—Tall Men the Social Rage—A Shocked Maiden. NEw York,May 11.—[Correspondenee of the Beg.]--Seye little things are big this week to the Fifth avenue section, We have had a real prince here who pos- itively refused to be caged by the swells and lionized. Tnis Frederick Leo- pold, of Germany, grand-nephew of Kaiser Wilhel put up at a Broad- way hotel, registered as Count Hohen- stein, The nobs soon found out who he was, and he was boldly attacked by the tuft hunters, whose cards were sent up to him with all the brazen persistency of Iife insurance agents or book canvassers, He saw everybody who canie,'and treated them courteously enough, but he wou'd accept no invitations to social enter- tainment, save from Germans associated with the German consulal He wos a fair looking young fellow, not airy at all, and bent only on seeing the sights of New He wouldn't be petted by our best society, and that was the end of it. The chief public exhibition of wealth and fashion was small indeed, for it was composed of eight persons only; but they wi a Vanderbilt party, posed conspicu- ously on the top of a tally-ho coach. A four-in-hand coach makes a daily trip from Madison square to the Country club at Petham. The driver is one of two alternating amateurs, and this time ne was Frederick Bronson, a howling swell. William K. Vanderbilt was the host, and his guests were mem- bers of his own family. The ladies wore gaver clothing than is usually seen in the street, but no more so than coaching permits. Thousands of staring eyes watched the distinguished load as it rolled up Fifth avenue, through Central park, and thence over the country roads ata rapid pace. Photographers caught t assing show at several points. I'ne cow show has not had the fashion- able countenance which had been given to the dog show, though it was visited by many modish women, whose wide-opened, wondering eyes (practicing the celebrated baby stare) saw for the first time that milk was not the sap of some tree. Not all the belles, however affected ignorance of the p cal duties of a milkmaid. Mabel Wright 18 one of the young beau- ties of pretentious She was ban- tered by a gentleman of her party on her declaration of dairy knowledge, and the upshot was that won a box of gloves on the wager that she could not milk a cow. 3 The amateur soldiers of the New York milltia regiments, or at lcast the three organizations favored by fashionable recognition, have gained a transient ghare of attention giving exhibition drills in their armorie The chappies brush the minutest particle of dust from their uniforms, burnish their trappings until a sunbeam would slip up on the surface, and then march bravely before an assemblage of invited guests. I doesn’t really scem a dangerous or difli- cult achicvement, but the dear fellows are the best material at hand to make heroes out of, and so the girls assume an air of amazed delight at these shows, *Ido like to fool a man,” exclaimed one gentle fraud, “Well, 1 don't,” replied her fair pal. “‘And why not?" “Because it is too easy.” There is nothing much more talked of in soci t{ just now than the kissing of Charles Coghlan and Mrs. Langtry in “Lady Clancarty.” It is so deliberate,so utterly oblivious of the big fiddle, so conscious of the base drum, that it has all the meaning and earnestness of a kiss in private life. It is not an exhibition kiss by any manner of means; The rap- turous kissing that Emma Abbot used to bestow on Castle never stirred a hair on husband Wetherell's head, nor disturbed the parting of a man 1n the audience, The kissing of Mary Anderson was the most transparent make believe in the world. When Clara Morris used to kiss Charley Thorne in “Camiile’’ she would take hiw on her knees bofore her, muss his hair and devour him with loving looks, dip down upon his face and kiss him lingeringly on his nose,to his intense amusement. When Rignoid was in the country he awoke the town kissing Susan when he played “*William.” The women in the audience used to adimire, but Susan suffered. Rignold was a wiry, red- bearded man, who shaved twice a week, and no oftener. He would powder the stubble on his face Lill his complexion was lovely, but poor Susan! A section of sand-paper could have hurt no worse. When he got home from sea in the play and met Susan, she would fly into his arms very much (after the vrevious ex- perie nee) as thevietim who was sen! ced in the inquisition fto undergo the vir- gin's kiss, knowing she had to, and was going toget hurt. e would hold that {mor girl’s head back, make rush, kiss both eyes, root a second uuder her off enr, and then Kiss her straight in the mouth, and all the while this adjacent field of cheek and mound of chin were taking oft her cuticle like a nutmeg grater. But this business of Coghlan's 1 the dude’s collar too tight for him, the uncorking of seent bottles all over the house shows its effect on the women. Coghlan is a scrious-faced man of inter- sity. There are o little nippy-flirty airs or graces about him, All that a kiss ean mean orconvey when he stoops over the handsome L:m[iz' who has half fainted, and taking in t elicious opportunity, makes the most of it. The remarks ‘it elicits are tnnn{. The other night as the lingering, real kiss in all its warmth was ressed upon the upturned mouth of the amous Lily, a lady smid, with a sigh: “What o pity its in'a play.” “I'm sorry we're all here,” said an- other, But in the orchestra an old fellow who looked through a pair of glasses, and over a lot of grey chin whiskers, just as Horace Greely ~used to do, 'slapped his leg with o ‘big, freckled hand, and made a sound with his mouth like en- couraging a horse, while he ilated, tJewhillikens?” erybody who heard him laughed almost as much as they did another night when a small boy, ~ half over the gullery rail, unable to eontain himself, eried just as Coghlan’s lips met Langtr; ‘Let her go Gallagher: ‘Tall men are the rage once more. They come around as regularly as any of the other fads of that curious institution we call society. Fora timelittle fellows were all the go,"und in this period a man must be small and delicate and pink-skinned if he would win distinetion among his fellows. Butin due course the effemin. ate sort of thing has to take a back seat, and the big and burly order of mankiud comes up for his inning.

Well, now that it is just the proper thing tor men to be tall, they are improving on nature and build- ing themselves up to the desirable limit. The way they do it is to have their shoes made with ?u-,t-].l more than commonl high and then built up inside at the bac to a still greater extent; This has the effect, while raising the wearer, of pitch- ing him torward at an angle that looks as though it must be very uncomfortable indecd.” But the New York fashionable doesn’t care for a little thing of that sort. Bless you, no. There is one man in particular who is making & sensation on Broadway in these days, partly through his natural gifts as to heighth and partly beeause he has been assisted by his sho ker to an - extent quite be- yond com This specimen 18 a for- cigner, and is said to be of gentle birth In voint of fact, he is called a baron, ie is naturally over six feet high, and fine looking fellow of the brunette order. But, not satistied with his already advan- tageous proportions, he has built himself up enormously, and his gait thereby has become the apex of awkwardness, When a man of genius sets out to bo jovial he suceceds. I know a uth of that sort_ who had a heap of fun, Mrs, Duncan Morgan zave an entertainment called & fancy German. With few ex- ceptions the guests were in character cos- tumes, without masks to he sure, but this young man got up a device that amused him all the evening. To begin with, he had a three-legged stool riveted in the seat of his trousers. The legs were all fitted with hinges that, when he stood up, dropped flat against his own, but when he sat down they fell into place, and supported him as well as a three- legged stool ever supported a ni band of some stout stuff was fas across his knees. so that when he down he could stretch his s two or three feet. Over his head, and resting upon it was ayoke, such as French peasants wear to carry milk cans. Thus rigged, the young fellow sat down on his three practicable wooden and two human legs, clasping his hands on his k nd throwing his arms out. He pholstered in_green velvet till he s aspectacle, His arms were tufted. A fine soft seat was run in to go round his waist on a belt and fastened to the band between his knees. A plaited flounce encircled him, and a beautifully vadded back ran from his waist up to the yoke on his head. In the center of this was a slit, through which he poked his head, and threw the yoke back,on his shoulders. 1 bullion” fringe went down his arms and over the flounce. When he §tood up he was an ungainly mass of frills, fringes and furbelons; but when he threw up the yoke on his head, drew his noddle in like a turtle, braced his arms in the proper position, and sat down, he was as inviting an easy chair as you would find in a eabinetmaker's store. He would select # quiet spot at the end of a dance, s'rike his attitude and wait devel- opments, Down would drop some ex- hausted damsel. Once a fat dogwager nearly pressed the stuffing out of him, but he contented himself by giving way and making madam believe the rickety old chair was coming to pieces with her. But then came the nlfihghllul task of hold- ing her pretty nicce, and our hero haved like a chair with a palpitatin, baek and a'spring seat as long as he could. An attendant cayalicr went off' to fetch an ice. The fair maid leaned her head back so that her Grecian knot of hair perforated the slit made for our friend to see through, and swffed his mouth full of Titian red locks. What should the arms of a chair do then buten- fold her? Up came both of his hands and met over the Jack roseson her corsage. Ma'amzelle gave a desperate yell and started out of that shady corner. At that moment our friend sprang up pushed the yoke off lus matted brow, and in the wild disorder of his crazy suit was the first to ask her what the matter was. To cateh up a bottle of perfume and dab the stopper at one’s upper lip, I be- lieve is a popular trick with many women. I know I've seen lots of women do it, and did it myself till the other night arting to see Langtry I did t trick in a dark room and have quititaltogether. You see I ran back for a glove buttoner, and prowling over the dressing case struck the glass stopper of a bottle of Cherry Blossom, ht 1t up and smooched itacross my upper lip and gave two little dabs behind my ears so my neighbors should have a smell. Tisn't (thrry Blossom after all, thought I, it's the White Rose extract all the same. And I pranced down and joined my party. We had got into acar when some one said “Good mercy, what have you got on your face?” “I'ne_usual wmount of powder, I sup- pose,” [ replied aggressively. “l\Vllv, you've got a dark purple mous- tache.” Great heavens! it broke on me in a minute.

She disappeared into the next room and the two Iadies sitting with her went down to the drawing room, where their escorts were wating. Martha had ‘slipped into her ma's room. just combed out the switch and twisted it in with the devoted little band of hairs that had not deserted her yet. Then she came back to her own well h.ihh-(l apartment, put on her bon- net and the party started.

ERAL BOULANGER'S PAIGN, not for the inyasion of Germany, but for the capture of his own non-commissioned officers, has been divulged, officially. The French, like every other army, and perhaps more so, suffers from a dearth of non-commissioned oflicers, due to their dislike to re-engage. Inde had the ‘rench army to rely on enlistment, on volunteers, to be recruited, it would be a skeleton und far below that of Great Britain, Hence, a decided proficient militairism is not popular in France. General Boulanger maintains that the army exists for the non-commissioned as well as for the commissioned oflicer, and that as the former is more in touch w the men, his condition merits a partial cure. According to the Boulanger project, henceforth the non-commissioned oflicers, after cight years' service, will have the right to be commissioned specially by the general commanding their corps d’armee. They can contract an engage- ment to remain tll fifty years of age under the flary, and this re-engagement can even be made after returning to cwil lifo for three years following their compulsory three years' active servi Tius interim will allow time for the ¢ soldicr to decide between a civil carcer and the advantages of a special and privileged non-commissioned officer.

It would be inconsistent with our principles to try to extend our influ- enco abroad in any other wuy than by such friendly relations as these, and in having given the Hawailan queen such a hearty welcome, Boston has added an- other bond of friendship and confidence beuween the Hawaiian group and the United States. Even now a large part of the trade of these islan comes to this country, and we should so keep and e tend it that in case of international hos tilities thesc islands would exert an 1n- fluence friendly to our interest: The grand opera season has passed and with it departed from the Italian opera stage in this country that of pri donnas, Mme. Adilina atti-Nicolini, We may or may not beli the statement which has been'so glaringly advertised that Americans will never again hear Patti in grand opera. Even prima donnas have been known, within the memory of man, to make multitudinous rewell tours,” some of them having gone so far as to muke u “positively lust farewell tour,” which rather tends to lead the innocent public to inquire how many professional ewells are in_really good form.

Her career as a singer was begun in Mr. Beecher's Sun- day-school room, and in a short time she was traveling about the country, though not in her own car as she does now, singing in concert under the manage- ment of her brother-in-law, Maurice Strakosch. Her success as a jubilee singer was doubtful even then, and it was a great question in the mind of Mr, Strakosch whether the yourg voice would ever develop into a rich and golden soprano. Besides, if she ever did learn to siug, people said she conldn't She was nervous and diffident, as beginners generally are. But the whole world knows that this doubt didn t last long. 1t seems absurb to think that Paiti ever appeared shy or awkward, she who has so long been recognized as the very embodiment of self-possession of eareless, yet artistic gracefulness. Patti's first appearance in Loudon marked a decisive change of fortune, l';nfilish audiences praised her acting as well as her singing. The Times and other journals lauded her to the skics. This set the ball a-rolling and in a short time the bare-footed New York roystere was 50 well established in the haute vole of London that she secured a real mar- quis for a husband. She was received into coart circles at every capital in Eu- rope us well as at London, and her path was literally paved with voses. But those were the days of her prime,and since she left the "Marqus de Caux and married Nicolini, English aristoe- racy has seen fit to turn up its nose. But never mnd!

Whether she goes on the stage again after completing her three months tour in South America, under the manage- ment of Mr. Henry E, Abbey, is a ques- tion. If she leaves the stage she will have to refuse $5,000 a night, for the use of her vocal organs, whick is more than the average woman could do. Inany ease the *'Diva’ will probably be con- tented, because it she retires she spend the rest of her days in luxurious scclusion at her Welsh castle of Craig-y- nos, wher she lives like & queen. The most important change of bill at the theatres this week is at the museum, where Mr. Richard Mansfield gives the first performance, on any stage, of “‘Dr. Jekyli and Mr, Hyde." Anyone who has read this wonderful piece of imagina- tion by Mr. Rob Louis Stevenson can easily imagine what interest must center around its being played by such abrilliant and talented young artist as Mr. Mans field. It will be remembered that the dual nature of “‘Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde' is the main 'point "of the work. = Dr. Jekyll, who is represented as a good- natu and highly intelligent gentle- man, is able by the help of a_powverful drug, to change his nature to Dr. Hyde, who' is a downright bloodthirsty “and murderous nature. The play is of a ghastly nature, but the difficult parts and quick changes of the leading character are g0 well brought out by Mr, Mans- field, that it appears on the stage as a de- cided work of art. Mr. Mansficld’s suc cess in the play is assure s e / ‘With sliding Dctachahle Springs. (& Better than ‘Whalebone or Hoin, &) and guaranteed uever to break. Pricey$r.as.
