NATALIE'S WOES. /.
King Milan at Last Secures His
Long Desired Divorce.
HE ABUSED HIS QUEEN.
A Story of q Royal Domestic Quarrel,
Only Wanting = Tragic Ending to
Make 1t Equal the Tale of
the Scottish Queen.

f BELGRADE, Oct. &C. The Metropolitan OF
Servia, Theodosius, has published pastoral
in which he dissolves the marriage of King
Milan and Queen Natalie. The pastoral de-
clares the marriage no longer existent.
The divorce OF Queen Natalie marks an
other turning point in royal romance,
which, while of less importance to the world,
is likely to goadown in history side by side
with the sad story of Mary, Queen of Scots.
The tragic climax TO the sorrows of the
Stuart queen is wanting, but in many Ne
spects the cases are analogous. Like the
Queen of Scots, too, the beautiful Queen of
Servia, now deprived of her throne and her
only child, has found host of defenders, who
come forward to combat the accusations of
treason and immortality made against her.
Natalie is now in her 30th year. Her father
was the late Russian Col Keczko whose ex-
tensive domains in Wallachia and Bessarabia
returned princely income. Her mother was
the Russian Princess Pulcherie Stourdza, aud
she was also related to the Prince Gortscha-
koff. She was betrothed to Prince Milan in
Vienna in 1875, and married at Belgrade, the
capital of Servia, Oct. II of the same year,
bringing a dowry of 100000 rubles, OF
about 81, ,000, 900, to the then prince

A GAYS narveIous In,,,pct.

IL was an ordinary, everyday, smutty.
nosed cat that to all appearances had nc
soul above milk and possibly diminu.
tive rodents; but beneath it's coat of cal
hair there lurked almost human intel,
hgence. The cat had. says the Provi.
dence Journal, been wearing a collar
encircled with tinkling bells, and with
more or less pride had displayed il to
other cats, and the feline jealousy
awakened thereby had resulted in sun
dry fights, in which the cat with the
musical collar had lost one or more
bells. His mistress, who is a firm be-
lever In the ability OF mind to triumph
over matter, argued the case with the
cat, and finally, by the aid OF mental
suasion, coupled with the use Of small
switch, succeeded in teaching the cat
that TO lose bell was to get whipping.
Recently the cat dropped bell on the
street, but heard the tinkle as it fell,
and realized the compromising situation
at once. To leave the bell was to get a
whipping, so he at once took it in his
mouth, trotted home, and jumping into
the lap of his mistress, dropped the bell.
and held up his head TO have it replaced
on the collar. The cat and the hell can
be shown if this story is doubted

MR.. BLAINE DECLINES.

Hon. James q. Blaine, positively
declines to be candidate before the Re-
publican National Convention for the
of President. This news, al
though forecast several days ago, will be
received with profound regret by many
thousands of admiring friends scattered
throughout the entire country. The re-
fusal Of Mr.. Blaine to accept this place
takes from the list Of prominent presi-
dental candidates the most conspicuous
Republican and popular citizens in
America. Not that there is dearth of
eminent men IN the Republican ranks
fitted to fill the Office of President, for
there are scores of such, but the feeling
of regret is most deep on account of the
true worth and merit of the man. The
people of this country had hoped to
have an opportunity to elect Mr.. Blaine
President, thing that would be accom-
plished in November just as sure as that
he was the nominee of the Republican
party. His patriotic letter stamps the
character of the man in its every line,
and shows his faith in the strength of
the Republican party to be as firm and
deep rooted rs ever. He foresees Il
glorious victory for the party this year,
and there is no doubt but he will be at
home in time to take hand in the cain
paiyn
