Prince and Jeh a The young Prince Alexander of Oldenbourg Is evidently a gay youth, He hired a carriage In Vienna a few weeks ago, agreeing to pay for it by the month, but when the bill, amounting to 300 florins, was pres- ented to him a few days ago, he de- clined to pay it, for the very valid reason that he had not a cent, ‘Thereupon the indignant jehu sum. moned him to court and explained that the carriage had been used daily by Prince Alexander and a young woman who makes her living by singing at a cafe concert. The young prince put in no defence, but his guardians, one of whom Is the Prince of Hesse and of the Rhine, maintained that, being a minor, he could not be legally compelled to pay the bill, The judges, however, were of a different epinion, and they promptly decided in jehu's favor. Their reas- ons were, first, “because the Prince of Oldenbourg ts a real prince and not an ordinary person,” and, sec~ ond, “because if this case were de~ cided in his favor coachmen would tn future be compelled to ask all youth- sire to ride in their carriages wheth- er they were of age or not, and te © obliged to ask auch a question would certainly be annoying."—-N.
