[Continued from Yesterday.]
The grand-.nasters of both Kaiser
and Kaiserin and the several house
marshals received $7,500 per year
salary, lived in royal villas rent free,
and had the free use of carriages
and horses (or motor cars) for
themselves and family for private
and official use. The Court, besides,
furnished their households with two
servants wearing the imperial
livery, and as many house-maids.
Their mileage equaled that of a
commanding general, and as travel
ing fees they received $7.50 per day.
When their Excellencies wanted to
eat at home or dine out, they needed
but notify their chief in order to be
entitled to an additional $3.75 per
day. ~
Her Majesty's grand-mistress, the
Countess Brockdorff, having no
household of lfer own, occupied a
splendid apartment in the royal res
idence, and received the same sal
ary, mileage, and travelling fees as
the gentlemen mentioned, while cwo
lackeys and carriages galore were
subject to her orders. The Kaiser
even paid mileage for her maid,
though the girl denied ever having
received a copper of it. As to her
Excellency, she was as sharp after
perquisites as the devil is after the
souls ot poor sinners, and a month
seldom passed that she did not hand
in a bill for so and so many meals
missed.
Pay of Untitled Servants
There is an idea abroad that
dames of the Court endure the
caprices of their mistress and the
monotony of life in the gilded cage
out of sheer devotion to royalty, or
on account of the distinction it con
fers upon the appointee; but this is
not *rue. „„„
1 received a salary of sl,uoo per
annum, had royal lackeys and maids
and carriages, as well as board and
lodging, and traveling fees amount
ing to $7.50 per day.
The Kaiser's valets received about
$4O salary per month, besides board
and lodging, and either liveries or
remuneration for dress-suits, like all
the rest of the servants and officials
hereafter named. To married men,
lodgings for their families in royal
houses were assigned. The wavd
robemen's salaries varied between
$2O and J75 per month, according
to the age of servitude. Ebeling,
the Kaiser's body-groom, had a few
dollars more. Rieger, his pictur
esque gun-charger, had $4O per
month, and the other chasseus and
stable officials, received from $3O
to $35.
Her Majesty's body-service in
cluded Frauleln von Haake, woman
of the bed-chamber, salary $4O per
• month; two wardrobe-woman, sal
ary $2O to $22 per month: two
wardrobe man-servants, salary $4O
to $45 per month; the caretaker of
the royal bed, had $2l per month,
besides board and lodging, and
$2.50 per month for dresses. Her
Majesty's two seamstresses, en
gaged "all the year round, received
50 cents per day and board and
lodging.
$7.50 Per Month for Moid Servant*
Just to '.ease the people in Amer
ica who cannot hire servants for
"love or money," I'll append a list
of the wages our Court used to pay
to the ordinary run of male and fe
male servants before and during the
war. . ,
The Kaiserin's five footmen had
$3O per month; her body-coachman,
received $37.50, and her body rid
ing-master $5O. The valet, who
waited at table, and the under-stew
ards, received from $4O to $5O per
month.
Augusta Victoria employed twelve
chambermaids for her own use, all
of them Irim, sturdy girls. They
received $7.50 per month in wages
and $5 for dress. But all these,
men and women comprised only an
infinitesimal part of the total num
ber employed. Our Court-marshal's
office had sixty different kinds of
employes on its stafT, the majority
being entitled to board and lodging,
or board wages. The board wage
was 75 cents per day in foreign
countries, half that amount in Ger
many.
Do you wonder that a royal peer
age, starving his servants at 37V&
cents per day, has no sympathizers?
But William thought he would
never need sympathizers.
Kaiser Borrows Money Front Ser
vants
Shirking responsibilities toward
servants is mighty small business,
but what do you think of a Kaiser
who forces liis servants to advance
him moti.V, and quite considerable
sums at dial?
When William's Court-marshall
sent servants, men and women, to
other cities, they had to pay for
their transportation out of their own
pockets. Neither did they receive
money for expenses.
I remember that Count Kulen
burg, my superior olflcer, at one
time dispatched four maids from
Berlin to Homburg lo prepare the
old Schloss for a visit of the Em
peror—one with linen, another to
take care of the silver, ihe rest to
put the rooms in order. They stop
ped at Kronberg overnight, and
borrowed money right and left, to
procure food, because they had
spend their last money l'or railway
fares, u "d could get nothing to cat
in Homburg until the kitchen crew
arrive*' from Berlin; that is, three
or I'oui- days later. Count Eulcn
burg, to my titter amazement, bore
out the women's pleas. "Where
should the money for advances come
from?" he said. "We pay all com
pulsory accounts at the beginning
of the month, and what is left must
be held at the Kaiser's, disposal!"
And the grand mistress, Countess
Brockdorff, explained: "We can
not get along without these forced
loans. But I think the marsnal's
office might be more discriminating.
Only single men and girls should be
sent on journeys, for the supposi
tion is that they have a little money
put aside. The salary of our peo
ple that are married is usually
spent during the first week after
pay-da/, and if ordered away, they
have to borrow to get to the place
of destination."
More Money Pilfered from Servants
In all the years I served William
and Augusta Victoria, the royal at
tendants received an advance on
their mileage and traveling expenses
only once, numely, when Prince and
Princess William, accompanied oy
an immense suit*., went to Queen
. Victoria's Jubilee.
But by th's hangs a tale. No
sooner had tne Court returned to
Potsdam than Herr von Liebenau
demanded a strict accounting ot the
moneys disbursed, and, by applying
, ihe most niggardly estimate on each
and every item, he succeeded in un-
SATURDAY EVENING,
raveling numerous-instances of "ex
travagance."
These servants—think of it! —had
English breaLTasts in Eng
land, instead of the customary cof
fee and rolls and paid London prices
for beer, which are considerably
higher than those prevailing in Pots
dam. So the bills were ruthlessly
cut, and the next salary day saw
many clenched teeth, many tears,
when it developed that the differ
ence between the advance and the
reduced bills had been deducted
from the wages. It is not quite safe
to mention the jubilee year among
the ex-Kaiser's former servants.
The continual trips of servants
between Potsdam and Berlin were
responsible for everlasting quibbles
between the employes and the
treasury. Count Puokler, when in
charge ot the traveling accounts, is
sued an order commanding all mem
bers of the untitled retinue to utilize
zone-tariff trains only, as their rates
were considerably lower than those
of fast trains.
The men and women would com
ply with this request, but could not
always do so on account of the ur
gency of business intrusted to them.
(Chen, afterward, the bills for rail
way fare were presented, the most
abominable rows ensued, and ser
vants valuing tlieJs' standing with
v.ie Court-marshal's olfice very fre
quently suffered the loss of their
advances rather than fight for what
was due them, for though they
might be ever so much in the right,
they dared not attempt to prove
their case, it being against etiquette
to invoke the testimony of
Majesties.
It often happened that the Kaiser
or Kaiserin ordered an attendant to
proceed to the capital instantly.
Now, if the Court-marshal doubted
the command, the correct way would
have been to inquire of the Kaiser
or Kaiserin, but that would be
against tradition. Besides, to call
in doubt an employe's veracity is
So, by making the Kaiser a pres
ent of part of he money advanced
on hi* India 11', l_nen servants and
maids, in their small way, helped to
support tlie spectacle of imperial
splendor enacted before the world—
the many marks and pfennigs wrung
from them contributed to the royal
radiance that blinded onlookers!
What do ycj think of William,
I mpcrn tor-Rex NOW, when you
learn that servant g/rls' wages were
no more safe from him than pupil
lory funds in Belgian banks? When
it is revealed that in the midst of
peace he confiscated his valets'
stipend as unblushingly as tho poor
box in a French village church dur
ing the war?
Can you imagine an Empress
clamoring in vain fo. a couple of
toothbrush-holders? Well, Auguste
Victoria wanted some for a week
and longer, and could not get them.
"I will have them today," said
the Empress. "Send for them."
I did so then and there, and re
peated tho order every morning for
an entire week, but only on the aft
ernoon of the day were the
holders produced.
It had taken all this time to
sciupe together S3 necessary to pro
cure the Qiueh-C.veted articles, and
Her Majesty had made twelve sep
arate anil distinct rows about the
matter.
Imperial Niggardliness Bun Mad
Scenes and annoyances like these,
growing out of the chronic with
holding of necessary funds, were not
limited to demands for extras. We
went through the same farce every
time a piece of china or glass was
broken, for the Prussian Court had
no duplicates of such necessary
articles as wash-pitchers, bowls,
pails, soap-dishes, or water-bottles.
When one of these things in tho
Kaiserin's chamber, for instance,
was smashed, her chief tire woman
had to carry the pieces (? the
Haushofmeister, who laid them
before the House-marshal, who laid
them before the Court-marshal, who
laid them before the treasurer.
Then the tre—jurer authorized tho
making of an estimate to replace the
articles, the two marshals counter
signed the document, and sent a
wagon into town to fetch it, or or
dered it sent from Berlin. Of course,
all this took time; and in the in
terim the Kaiserin had to do with
out the most necessary utensils
sometimes.
As long as I can remember, my
royal mistress never owned enough
trunks to carry', besides her toilets,
the linen for the imperial bed and
bath rooms, and that despite the fact
that the Court was almost contin
uously on the road. Quite fre
quently Her Majesty's linen was sent
on a journey in dry-goods cases or
even in card-board boxes—odds and
ends from the store-room.
Starved at Royal Board
As to the royal table, it was
hardly better served than the aver
ago 75 cents table-d'bote, while ar
rangements at the Court balls were
such as to permit only every ninth
or tenth of lh„ invited persons to ob
tain a swallow of third-rate cham
pagne and a sandwich.
The visits of royalty were made
occasions of great display, of course;
reasonably liberal extra appropria
tions were made at such times, and
lest the chasseurs made a mistake,
all foreigners gc'. the best cham
pagne, which otherwise were fur
nished to their Majesties only, but
even then the Court-marshal man
aged to save an honest penny here
and there.

Japanese Want to
Purchase American
Distilling Plants
Louisville, Ky., April 12. Jap
anese agents are negotiating with
American distillers for the purchase
of machinery in their plants after
prohibition becomes effective. The
machinery would be shipped to
Japan for use in distillation of
whiskey there, according to Y.
Kawahara, agent for a Japanese-
American importing concern.
A bill before the Japanese Diet
would prohibit use of rice in the
manufacture of sake, the Jupanese
national drink. Japanese distillers
now want foreign made machinery
in which corn and other cereals
can be substituted for rice, Kawa
hara said. Ho added that 24,000,000
bushels of rice are used annually in
making 300,000,000 gallons of sake.
American distillers are reluctant
to sell,their machinery now, in view
of the suit to test the constitution
ality of the prohibition law.
With Choir and Organist
In Zion Lutheran Church, begin
ning April 26, a series of post-Len
ten organ recitals will be griven on
the spendid instrument. The first

Mrs. Edwin J. Decevee, soprano and
musical director at Zion Lutheran,
will be the soloist. The series will
continue for several Saturdays.
Joseph Bennett, the great French
organist, is to give a recital in the
First Presbyterian Church, York, on
Tuesday evening, April 22, Members
of the Harrisburg Organists' Asso
ciation will make the trip from this
city to hear the distinguished mu
sician. They probably will go in au
tomobiles, although this had not
definitely been decided to-day. The
organ upon which Bennett will play
is a Hutchings four-manual and was
the last one to be built by the fa
mous firm.
The choir of Augsburg Lutheran
Church will sing Maunder's cantata,
"Olivet to Calvary." on Thursday
evening, April 17. The soloists will

REBEL CHIEF IS
LURED TO DEATH
BY ENEMY TRICK
Body Will Be Buried in Tomb
Holding Those of Other
Leaders in Revolt
Mexico city, April 12. (jcncrnl
Emiliano Zapata, the rebel. leader of
Southern Mexico, news of whose death
reached this city yesterday, was
killed Thursday morning during an
engagement between his troops and
government soldiers who had by a
ruse entered his camp at Hacienda
Chinemeea near the village of Pet
lalclngo, Morelos.
'/.lipoid Suspicious
The government soldiers, under the
command of General Pable Gonzalez,
planned to capture the rebel chief
and pretended they were a part of
th Fortieth Regiment, which had
come to join Zapata's forces. When
Zapata was asked to review the men
he became suspicious and took with
him a large number of rebel troops.
This prevented the carrying out of
the plan and resulted in a general
fight. Zapata fell, with many of his
followers. A number of government
soldiers also lost their lives.
The government is taking unusual
precautions to establish the' fact of
the rebel leader's deutli, official
photographs have been taken of the
body, which has been viewed by many
who knew Zapata, and depositions
have been required from those tak
ing part in the battle.
The body will be buried in the
Zapitat tomb at Tlaltizapan, Morelos,
which was erected some years ago
to receive the bodies of all those who
signed the Zapatista covenant, known
as the "plan of alaya." In this tomb
are buried many rebel leaders who
have died during the past ten years,
including Eufemio Zapta, brother fo
the chieftain. It consists of a great
stone pedestal in the base of which
are a number of burial compartments.
