ONE of the most contsmtible figures in
history in his domestic relations is Henry
VIII. Of England. No one can read how
he treated his queen without FEELING a
sense OF Indignation. King Milan, the
comparatively Insignificant brute who
rules over Ssryia, is doing his best to fol
low Henry's example. He has all OF the
EnRlishman's dastardliness without any
OF his better trats. King Milan is u lib
ertine, a most arrant coward, man with
out any character. His wife, Natalie, is
charming woman OF high culture, who
has come unscathed from the fiery fur
mace of scandal loving tongues. Milan
has succeeded in securing divorce
from her, the metropolitan, Theodosius,
having issued pastoral formally diyorc-
ing the two. Whether as the head of the
Servian Church he had right to do this
is not certain. Queen Natalie will not
rsoognizs the divorce and has formally
announced her position. What tn, md
OF this dOmsstic row IN oefFles foyal
family will not be cannot be fore-shadow-
ed. The queen is beloved by the people
of Servis generally, and OF the Liberal
party she is the idol The Liberal party
includes the great majority OF the COM
mon people and the priesthood, and If
they choose to espoHse tks cause OF tho
queen they can make the King Milan's
life decidedly unpleasant. The Libersl
party favors the Russian cause. The
queen is a Russian by birth. This fact
may lead to complications which are
least expested. King Milan's course to-
wards his queen has been shameful from
the beginning.
