TIOMR April ll.-(Ppecial.) 'I am not
surprised," la the comment most fre
quently heard her among Italians on
the: reported engagement 6f the duke of
Annuel and Miss Klklna, the daughter
t)f a United States senator.
! In fact, looking; bark one can see that
the' prince s whole life has been leading
tip to something of the kind. It Is quite
info to say that there Is not another
royal prince In Europe who has known
commoners all over the world as Inti
mately as the duke of Abruxzl. He
'began as a lad at the military academy,
! choosing his friends with a large liberality,
'which gained him later the name of the
"Commoner Prince," quarreling, fighting
and chumming, aa all school boys do, on
. an duality with the best, but never
' using his rank to his own advantage.
In the navy it was the same. He was on
i friendly terms with all, and mingled with
' all sorts and conditions of men, his ex
perience making him a perfect man of
the world, and a ronsumate Judge of his
fellow creatures.
. The Italians know him less than any
other of the royal princes, because he Is
ao seldom here; If not off on one of his
expeditions, he Is on a man of war, and
only comes to his native land off and on,
but they are Intensely proud of him be
cause, of his very real achievements,
and the endurance, almost superhuman,
which he has shown In so many different
ways. In Alaska, at the North Pole,
and on the Ruwenxorl, in Africa,
When the duke's friends Jh to get a
rlsi out of him they declare that he--- is
not an Italian at all. "How can the son
of the king of Spain be Italian?" they
cry, and, In fact, the duke, although
the son of Prince Amadeo, brother of King
Humbert, and for two years king of
Spain, was born In the royal palace at
Madrid. In the room which Queen Vic
toria now uses as a nursery for the crown
prince, and he was then third In succes
sion to the throne. This mode of reason
ing rouses him to great wrath, especially
aa since . his first year he has never
' again been In Spain.
Climbing Alaskan reak.
He showed young of what metal he
was made by his ascent of Mount St.
. Ellas, in Alaska, but far more Interest
was shown In his Arctic expedition, in 1X99,
when he was only 26 years old, especially
as it was an open secret that he was
spending a good deal more than he could
nfford and that It would leave his re
sources much crippled. The whole royal
family encouraged and helped forward
the project. The Dowager Queen Mar
glierlta was then . reigning, and took the
prettiest way of reminding the duke of
his home and those awaiting him there
will) tmxlety. She Is most puctullous
about family anniversaries, ao she chose
a number of presents with great care, as
each hud to be tiny and of little weight.
Each pan el was tied by the queen's own
fingers, with the daintiest of ribbon In
different colors, and each had a written
Inscription, "To be opened Christmas," or
"June 21st, 1601." (the fete of Ban Lulgl,
the duke's name day), or 'January 29th,
190:!" (tlie duke's birthday', and so on, one
for-every annlversury - during the three
yenrs that he was expected to be away.
It was wonderful, considering how many
there were, how small they were In bulk.
This enabled them to be easily carried
when the ship was abandoned, and the
expedition betook itsejf to the sleds. Who
can say what comfort Prince Lulgl gained
by a contemplation of these visible signs
, of royal solicitude, when far removed
from all signs of human habitation, and
In the midst of the dreary wastes and the
strange silences of the Inhospitable north?
Delight to His Asst.
Tlie duke delighted the heart of his
aunt. Queen Margherlta, on his return. It
will lie remembered that she gave a votive
offering In the form of a magnificent
, model. In silver, of his ship, the "St'ulla
Polure," as thank-offering for his safe
return from the, Polar regions, and he
expressed his gratitude for his success
In much the same manner. At Cour
mayeur, accompanied by Captain Cagln
(whose name In connection with the famous
Arctic Journey almost as well known as
his own) and the gulden, he assisted at
a mass In the church there. Ids offering
was an elegant mlrmture scene of the far
north. It represented an Ice field with a
led with two figures In It, drawn by dogs,
In full gallop. After mass the duke found
boots of the real dogs which went with
the expedition, outside the church. They
threw themselves upon him in such de
light that he had to cry for mercy and
be relieved from their too bold caresses.
The duke remained some time at Cour
mayeur. climbing all the available moun
tains. In the company of his guides, who
did their best to Induce him to promise
to return to the far north, and, of course,
take them with him. "Let us outdo our
own record," they urged, and with mag
nificent conceit, "You and we, sir, can
outshine the world!" Prince Lulgl only
shook his head. ,but It was whispered
that lie was already tired of the amen
ities of society life and thirsting if not
for new adventures at least for excit
ing ones. 'I was not made to be a prince,"
lie confided to a friend, "but to be an
Arab nd scour the desert, or an Esquimau
and search the ice fields." Not long
after ha was off to conquer the Ruwen
rL Iadtlraat to ftorlety.
This indifference to social life Is what
sets the duke of Abruxzl apart from his
brothers, who sre tioth. especially the
Count of Turin. wh, Is still a bachelor,
famous for their enjoyment of all social
pleasures. Their partiality for feminine
society Is known at every court in Europe.
Th duke, on the contrary, la scarcely
recognised when he appears. I am not
exaggerating In saying that he Is better

known In the Untied States than In any
other country. The American girl has
always bad a great attraction for him.
He likes ' her frankness and self-confidence.
The European Is too conscious
of his rank, and, therefore, ceases to amuse
him. However, on one occasion he got
a snub which might have come from the
most Independent American besuty.
He was at a great ball In Rome and
had danced Indefatigably. The belle of
the brilliant assembly waa Prlnclpessima
Maria Ruapoli, a blonde of the purest
type, who attracted all eyes, a daughter
of Prince Francesco Ruspoll. msster of
the holy hosplc of the apostolic palace,
and, therefore, a ataunch adherent of the
Pope. The duke, forgetting perhaps In
the excitement of the dance, that women
re not to be taken ton lightly, even by
royalttlea. approached the princess without
an Introduction, and, bowing profoundly,
asked the honor of a dance. In the large
hall there was a moment of expectant
hush, when, without the quiver of an eye
lid, the proud beauty drew back, and
the discomforted prince, notwithstanding
his rank, passed on and the incident was
over,' but not so the gossip which raged
for weeks.
ELEVATING PRINTERS' CRAFT
Typographical I a Ion Gives NOTel and
Practical Aid to Industrial
rcmrleacr. '
While educators are advocating Indus
trial education and philanthropists are
loosening the ptnse strings to help the edu
cators, the International Typographical
union has Inaugurated a comprehensive
system of supplemental trade education
It Is within the reach of every printer and
Is designed to aid all those who follow the
"art preservative of all arts" for a liveli
hood. Owing to tae Impossibility of estab
lishing a school In every town, the union
adapted the correspondence system, which
Is furnished at approximately cost price
$30, payable on easy terms. In order to en
courage studlousnesa In the craft the Inter
national union will give a prize or rebate
of to to every student Who perseveres and
completes the course of thirty-seven les
sons. These prizes do not go to the un
usually proficient, but to all who show
desire to learn and are of ordinary capa
city. Employers may supplement the un
ion's prise by offering additional Induce
ments to their employes to take the course,
some having promised to defray all ex
penses Incurred by their employes. The
feature of the course la not so much the
Information Imparted by the lessons, as
the benefit that will flow from crltlclHms
of the student's work, which will receive
personal attention from the experts at
headquarters. This connection does not
cease when the lessons are ended. The
winner of a schollarshlp Is entitled to con
sult the experts on technical questions as
long as he remains at the trade, be that
five or fifty years.
The object of the course Is to give prin
ters an opportunity to learn those things
In connection with their business which
Is prevented by the specialization of In
dustry. It Is hoped that this will make It
possible for them to become more proficient
than they could under the old apprentice
ship system, the union being desirous or
expanding the field of the printer. More
and more Is the work of the designer ob
servable In printed matter In the shape of
appropriate decorations and lettering. To
a very great extent this Is being done un.
der the supervision of commercial artists.
Some printers with a natural aptitude for
such work have been very successful at It.
Having two men do what one might do
Is not only an economic waste, hut it pro
duces comparatively unsatisfactory results.
The work being craftsmanship rather than
art,' It can be mastered by the average
printer, and the union wishes to aid in this
natural expansion of the trade. While
other and older branches will not be neg
lected In the course, the new element will
be featured, as the union Is of the opinion
that It will thereby not only be giving an
uplift to the art preservative, but opening
up new avenues of lucrative employment
for Its members. That this may be done
most efficiently the union has secured the
services of art Instructors and schools of
design who will bend their energies toward
simplifying those art principles which the
printer may utilize. This information is
In the ordinary art course, but burled In a
mass of matter that Is confusing to the
printer-student who has the. tlrne and In
clination to pick It out. To collate all the
Information that Is beneficial and give It
wide circulation Is the purpose of the
court. The International Typographical
Union commission, 130 Sherman street, Chi
cago, III., will furnish any printer with ajl
additional Information on receipt of name
and address.
