Won Her Husband Prlncea Death ami the Widows Heartbroken Ancnlah The Irish Times There is something of the enchantment of fairy lore about the story of the courtship and betrothal of Queen Victoria Iving Leopold of Belgium the favorite uncle of the young Queen who had always exercised a loving supervision of her early training brought about a visit of Prince Albert of SaxeCobun Gotha and his brother to England in order that Victoria who was then but 20 years old might be brought in contact with them It was not ninted that she was expectedj to look upon one of the princes as a possible husband Her gooi uncle intended that in case affection developed lovo should take its course His plans resulted most happily and a sympathy of dispositions ana tastes soon led to a stronger bond between Victoria and the gentle cultured Albert Their ficst meetiutr was at a ball The youthful Queen and the Prince were both there and the Queen gave the Prince a bouquet What to do with the gift was a puzzle to the possessor but it was only lor a moment that he stood in doubt Taking out his knife he cut a slit in the tunic of the uniform he wore and right there over his heart placed secureiy the blossoms the royal lady had given him He had just a few days before come from his own home over the sea and the Queen asked him how he liked England Oh very much xtdaythe question was asked again and once or twice oftener it was put until at length the Queen with a sweet tremor in her voice and the mantling blush of the rose in her face ventured to say Would you not like to stay in England It was in this fashion that the ordinary conditions of the momentous event were reversed and the man said Yes to thewomons question The Queen wrote to King Leopold I told Albert this morning of it The warm affection he showed me on learning this gave me great pleasure He seems perfection and I think that I have the prospect of very great happiness before me I love him more than I can say and shall do everything in my power to render this sacrifice ffor such In my opinion it is as small as I can He seems to have great tact a very necessary thing in his position These few days have passed but I Hn feel very happy ALBERTS LEITER HOME Prince Albert iAq as follows to his grandmother the Dowager Duchess of Gotha who had filled a mothers place to aimThe The Queen sent for me alone to her room a few days ago and declared to me in a genuine outburst of love and affection that I had gained her whole heart ana would make her supremely happy if I would make her the sacrifice of sharing her life with her for she said she looked on it as a sacrifice The only thing that troubled her was that she did not think she was worthy of me The joyous openness of the manner in which she told me this quite enchanted me and I was quite carried away by it She is really most good and amiable and I am quite sure that we shall be happy together Then the Queen called her council and announced her arriage In her diary she wrote The room was full but I hardiy knew who was there Lord Melbourne I saw looking kindly at me with tears In his eyes but he was not near me I then read my short declaration I feltthat my hands shook but 1 did not make one mistake I felt most happy and thankful when it was over One of the ladies excusably curious on the matter asked the Queen aiterwards if it did not make her nervous to have to make such an announcment to the Council We are told that her reply was Oh no that I considered simply as a matter of business but I did feel some embarrassment in making known to the Prince my feelingt in his regards Next came the era of love letters while the Prince was making his preparation in Ciburg to become an Englishman If could but use the words of every true lover in high or low estate All I have to say is that while I possess your love they cannot make me unhappy And so the weeks passed and when February came the Prince landed at Dover to be wedded now to England as well as to Englands Queen and was received joyously by the people When he drove up to Buckingham palace it was to find his bride standing at the outer door eager to welcome him He was naturalized on the following day and crested a field marshal of England THE MARRIAGE CEREMONY There was great brilliancy and displ ay at the marriage ceremony but it was not without its simple touches The Queen herself acted with excellent taste She was wiser than some of her courtiers The Archbishop of Canterbury came to her with some perturbation and the suggestion that as she was Queen the passage in the ritual bringing in the vow of obedience should be altered ner case I do not mean to be the less a wife though I am a Queen said the bride firmly and sensibly andg on no account would she allow gany Btampering with the responses at the altar Nor would she have the customary hour of srvice altered Former royal marriages had taken place st night The Queen Insisted that hers should be by daylight and not later than noon and she stipulated also that there should be nothing fanciful about the spmbol for her finger it must she said bean ordinary weddingring As at the coronation and her other public appearances she had 3gain arranged that her dress should be of home manufacture aud from a native loom therefore came the white satin of her marriage robe and from deft English fingers the lace with which it was trimmed and the veil that hung from her head She was attended by twelve bridesmaids After the ceremony the Queen walked down the aisle hand in hand with her husband her eyes much swollen with tears but great happiness in her countenance and her look of confidence and comfort when they walned away as man and wife was very pleasing to see DEATH OF THE PRINCE Twenty years or so afterward came the endjof the life of happiness which wasj tie lot of the Queen and her consort The death of the Prince and the tender parring with the Queen is thus briefly told toldAs As the days passed the Ptinces physi clans and his family began to realize the danger he was in He himself faced death without fear His words were I am not afraid I trust I am prepared and the hymns he loved particularly the Kockof Ages were sung to him from fme to time at his own request He was nursed with unwearied devotion by both the Queen and the Princess Alice and to both for he never wholly lost conscious ness he spoke many encouraging words On the morning of his death Saturday the 14th oflDecember hespoke in German of his dear and good little wife the Queen sitting by him and he laid

entered the firm and later on had the business to nimself making a fortune For ten happy years evervthmg prospered His wife was a beauty nd half a dozen handsome children blessed their union The only cloud that dimmed the fathers horizon was the knowledge that Lena had never been faise that the report of her engagement was untrue and in her fathers house unmarried and disconsolate the sweetheart of his youth lived alone However a year or more ago by a sudden and fatal illness the wife was laid low and our friend found himself a widower with six children Rich respectable a model citizen and

revived The patient was afterwards sent to ward 14 by order of Dr Trautman and he died there two weeks I saw a patient named Mendelsohn killed declared the witness I saw McHugh strike him I also saw Cleary knock him down His forehead was cut and the blood clotted his hair When the doctor ordered his head to be washed the attendants McHugh and Cleary took Mendelsohn by the head and feet and placing his head in the sink grabbed both feet and ordering me to turn on the water they worked him up and down the sink like a saw Did you report this the witness was asked No sir I knew better I did not want to be kept in there for probably twentyfive years as a permanent lunatic The witnessed continued that he saw the attendant Cleary take a patient named Blake by the throat and choke him simply because he looked out of the window He also saw Cleary take an old patient named Prenaugh seventyeight years oldwithout teeth or hair and compel him to waltz around while the attendants whistled and if he refused he would strike him on the face Another patient named Rudder Ward from Amityville was pulled around the ward by Cleary who took hold of him by the whiskers The result of this treatment

Boulanger had as a subordinate officer chafed and fretted that he could not carry out plans of reorganization of the French army that had been his constant study since the iron entered his soul at the battle of Sedan in witnessing the overthrow of the French forces This overthrow he felt was due to the shortcomings of the French soldier and the want of thorough organization of the French array As minister of war he could give those plans a trial and the speed with which they were put In operation showed how long and carefully he had studied out the details of his scheme He is a wonderful organizer and I am sure his only ambition iies in the desire to redeem the military reputation of the French people by restoring the prestige of their soldiers The Wards Island Lunatic Asylum

up cakes snd sweet meats sent to the patients by friends outside and that he Mallon went to the friends of patients and de manded money for favors to be done and that he kept the money The witness
