A hotel which cost $4,000,000 was tom down to give place to this new structure, which in |gorgeousness and high charges exceeds anything erected before. : The ordinary rooms cost more for a night’s occupancy than a shop girl's week's wages. A Suite “clerk can earn in a fortnight. The apartments are rated at prices higher » of the United States. t SO Even with these enormous charges the rooms have been bespoken, + “the most costly apartments being engaged first. . Curiously, too, the reason for this is the necessity for economy on the part of the rich, Gambling in Wall street, extravagant living and idle habits have be- un to deplete the resources of the suddem=sich men who made their Money in the trust promotions and railroad speculations of the past ten “years. Men who thought they were worth $20,000,000 have fund out that their assets would Hot bring more thar $10,000,000. Men Who a year or two-ago’ valued their wealth in eight figures and their income in Seven have now had to lop the cipher from each. These men feel poor. . oe we Not so many years ago they were really poor. One of them pro- »peiled a wheelbarrow on a slag dump near Pittsburg. Another sweated ~ in a roller gang in a steel mill.

Such P. affairs were not conmon. For royalty then, as now, married for state reasons. So when young Frederick Willlam, Crown Prince of Prussia, fell violently tn love at first sight with Loulse, the lovely seventeen-year- old daughter of the Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, the romance was 90 Un- usual as to attract the Interest of every one. Nor was {t long before this Interest deepened into a national adoration for the girl-princess. Louise's mother had dieu when her daughter was only ‘six, leaving the shild to be brought up by her grandmother. The motherless girl grew into beautiful’ womanhood. that also combined unwonted depth of character, Soodness and lofty intellect. It was small wonder that tho Crown Prince, meeting her when she was seventeen, wooed and won her in far more ardent style than was the custom of his class, They were married in De cember, 1793, and, soon afterward, the Prince succeeded to the Prussian throne, under the title of Frederick William III { Prussia was on the decline. The military and territorial strength bullt up for it by Frederick. the Great was fast ebbing away. And Fred erick William was not the man to revive that strength. He was excellent as a husband, father and private citizen. But as King he was weak and devold of any especial ability. Napoleon, in his. plan for world-conquest, used Fred- erick William as his dupe, winning many diplomatio victories through him, and, later, needing his ald no more, forced Prussia {nto a war. - Frederick William, with all Prussla behind him, stood about as mt chance against Napoleon's genius ard his victorious legions as a muzzle loading rifle against a gattling gun. At Jena and Auerstadt and elsewhere the French swept their weaker foes from the fleld and quickly destroyed Prussia’s last hope of success. Queen Louise by her example of bravery, fortitude and patriotism helped her stricken fellow-countrymen to bear the blow that had fallen on them. Finally, in 1807, she made her supreme sacrifice. Napoleon by this time had Prussia utter.y at his mercy and gracious ly consented to end the war and impose terms of pénce on his beaten foes, Knowing how terribly her country had already suffered at the victors qands, and hoping to spare 1t from further unnecessary loss, Louise went ‘n person to Napoleon in his headquarters at Tilsit and pleaded with pathetic eloquence for mercy. The conqueror, unmoved by her beauty and noble helplessness, answeted her with insulting brutality, refused to yield yne jot In bis exorbitant concessions and, after Ler departur®, circulated 7ing stories as to her character. The only immediate effect of these lea ind of his own bdoorish behavior was to increase tenfold the love and re- spect in which the peonle held their queen, and to make the name of Napoleon a byword for al] that was vile More than sixty years later, Loulse's ron, William I. took fearful ‘engeance on France and on Napoleon's successor for that Insult at Tusit. For he crushed French pride, brought France to {ts knees and snded forever the Napoleonic dynasty. Incidentally on the ruins of France's ige he and Bismarck built up the present German Empire.
