EX-KAISER WILHELM.
EVIDENCE OF PARSIMONY.
BERLIN NEWSPAPER'S COMMENT.
BERLIN, Nor. 12. Although the ex-Kaiser is still the wealthiest German, he sent only £1 to buy a wreath for his godchild, who was one of the coalminers killed in tho Alsdorf disaster. Wilhelm also sent a letter of sympathy to the Burgomaster, but it did not contain any enclosure for the victims' relatives.
A BerliD newspaper remarks: "While Wilhelm wore the crown he had a civil list, for which the people paid, and he liked to play the part of public benefactor. Since he has lieeomo a private person he does not dip into his own pockets." 4wm
