Gets Five Millions a Year; Poor Despite His Big Salary, Emperor Wilhelm of Germany Is, Relatively, the Poorest Monarch in Europe.

BY WELLINGTON HOPE. London, June 25. Poor Emperor Wilhelm! Despite the fact that his salary as King of Prussia was recently Increased from $3,000,000 to $5,000,000 a year be is still relatively the poorest monarch in Europe. As vaut as this amount may appear to the average man it is not sufficient for a monarch who has to maintain the splendor and generosity which have made the name of the German emperor famous the world over. His position after his pockets have been emptied by the thousand and one expenses of kingship, is, in comparison, little better than that of the clerk who earns $15 a week, and, Indeed, no clerk has felt the need of a rise so much as the German emperor. He has been waiting for it for the last three years, and the stories of imperial poverty on $3,000,000 a year are common knowledge In Germany. - In recent years stern economy has been practised in the German emperor's household. The climax was reached two years ago, when the emperor decided to offer five of his castles tor sale. By this means he hoped to avoid having to beg for a raise, but German opinion rioted against their emperor putting up the splendid castles of Germany for auction. Why should the pinch of poverty be

felt in the imperial household? It is not because the kaiser indulges in the vicious extravagances of the monarchs of history. ' He does not squander his thousands in meaningless luxury, nor is his mode of living on a very high scale. The main reason for the kaiser's inability to live within his means are his unparallelled generosity, his love of art and the endowment of it. and his desire, when travelling to uphold the dignity of the empire. It must be remembered that as German emperor be receives not a penny. He is an unpaid emperor, fulfilling all the costly duties of his position free of charge. Whatever expenses be incurs in this respect are paid for out of his own pocket from his income as King of Prussia, augmented by his private income from estates. He is the largest land owner in Germany. His property extends over more than 250,000 acres, and his castles number more than fifty. Yet, with all this, he derives comparatively little income from this source. His many castles cost a fortune to keep up. They are dotted about all over the empirethree in Berlin, thirteen in Potsdam, three in Cassel, and great residences in Stettin, Strasbrug, Charlottenburg, Coblentz, and other cities. He has had to abandon the building

of other palaces. ' There was one which was to have been built on a gorgeous scale at Babelsburg a fit residence for the crown prince, for whom It was intended. This plan was given up. The emperor was too poor to pay tor it So, too, in spite of the kaiser's business aptitude, his landed estates do not pay him much. Here it is the fault of his generosity. His workmen are paid exceptionally high wages, and they have pensions in their old age; the widows and children of the emperor's workmen are supported out of his private purse. He prefers to be the model employer of labor rather than economize in this direction. It, is bis love for all that pertains to the arts which has brought his generosity to the verge of fantastic extravagances. The sieges of Allec (Lane of Victory), in Berlin, with its thirty-two marble ctatues of the kings and electors of Brandenburg and Prussiathe bronze figures in the Thiergarten the statues everywhere all these paid for by the kaiser himself are witnesses to where some of the money goes. A man must needs be a millionaire to build a whole street of statues. Whether he can afford it or not, ho impulsively buys high priced pictures and gives them to picture galleries. He subsidizes theaters and an opera house for the sake of the drama these also are a drain on the imperial purse, for his theaters are only partially conducted for profit If there is one thing which lays the emperor open to a charge of extravafance it is his love of imperial splendor that same splendor which led him to acquire fifty castles. No king of Prussia ever had a court

more magnificent than William II. Besides the many councillors to every department, there are a score of important officials in the household. Then there are relatives whom he has to support, and for whom he must provide courts. The cost of the Crown Prince's court alone is estimated at $250,000 a year. The emperor travels with more of pomp and splendor than he can well afford. His retinue is like a regiment. In addition to his suite, he takes with him, his coachmen, grooms, sta-

GOT HIS HAIR BACK.

Was Perfectly Bald When He Started to Use Newbro's Herpicide. Frederick Manueil. Maryland block, Butte, Montana, bought a bottle of Newbro's Herpicide, April 6, '99, and began to use it for entire baldness. The hair follicles In his scalp were not dead and in 20 days he had hair all over his head. On July 2 he writes, "and today my hair is as thick and luxuriant' as any , one could wish." Newbro's Herpicide works on an old principle and with a new discovery destroy the cause and you remove the effect Herpicide destroys the germ that acuses dandruff, falling hair, and finally baldness, so that with the cause gone the effect cannot remain.

blemen, saddlers, his secretaries and often his ministers. Those journeys to the Mediterranean and to Palestine wnieb created so much sensation a few years ago, cost nearly a hundred thousand pounds each, and wherever he went the emperor distributed gifts lavishly. He has given away hundreds of diamond rings and pins, gold cigarette cases and necklaces, gold watches and bracelets, and thousands of decorations. He is the German emperor, and though he is not paid for it, he must make a brave show of his position. But when all this necessary show is stripped away, behind the glitter and pomp of the emperor there is a man wh41nside IScome all too ssaall for his position. ' He must make little economies. He must even deny himself the luxuries of the fleshpots. The

imperial table is notoriously one of j the least exertavagant . in European courts. !

Small wonder that, with all his castles, his estates to keep up. the courts of his relations to support, his magnificent patronage of the arts, and the splendor of his own Imperial court, the kaiser vh as been compelled to ask for a raise in his salary to help him make both ends meet.
