ROYALTY AND RomAucE.
Prince Oscar of Sweden Welded to o
Girl of Common Birth.

Prince Oscar of Sweden Welded to o
Girl of Common Birth.
LONDON, March l6-The marriage Of
Prince Oscar, Of Sweden, and Miss Ebba
Munck was soemnizsd al Bournemouth to-
day. In consequence Of the death of the
Emperor of Germany the affair WAS con-
Quoted on much less elaborate scale than
had at first been contemplated. Most OF the
royal families of Europe were represented.
The presents were numerous, and, in the ag-
gregate, of exceeding great value.
Or all the romantic marriages that have
occurred in royal circles throughout Europe
for the last half a century, none have ex-
cited as much interest as this Although Of
noble birth Miss Munck was poor and an or
phan. Her father, Col. Munck, had left her
long line OF sncestors-al gallant soldiers
but very little money. Some years ago,
yielding TO the pressing advice OF her friends,
she accepted an offer from a wealthy young
officer belonging to q crack cavalry regi-
ment Everything was prepared for the
wedding, the day fixed, and the presents had
arrived, when suddenly she broke Off the en-
gagement, being convinced that she did not
possess the exclusive affections OF her suitor
Miss Munck then retired from court for Q
short time. Meanwhile Prince Oscar had
been on two years trip around the world,
in the royal Swedish friSate Vonadis Short
ly after his return from this voyage his
friends discovered that he was in love.
Prince Oscar succeeded in wringing from
her the confession that she loved him in re-
turn. Still the brave girl refused to marry
him, and it was not until the Prince was in
the position to tell her that the Queen had
been moved to give her consent that she
finally yielded Still the Kings sanction
had to be obtained before the marriage
could be solsmnized, and the will OF the King
was not so easily moved as that Of the
Queen.
By virtue of the Swedish constitution
Prince Oscar will lose, besides his rights to
the throne, his titles Of "Royal Highnsssn
and Duke of Gotland, as well as the yearly
allowances granted by the Swedish Diet, and
his palace at Stockholm He will in future
be called Prince Bernadotte He will retain
his position as commander in the Swedish
navy, which rank he has fairly earned in the
ordinary course Of promotion, and will sup
port his bride from the salary and perqui-
sites thereof. After their honeymoon the
young couple will settle at Carlskrona, a
naval establishment in southern Sweden,
where the Prince will bo stationed. He is

Ee understood what tine crowd wanted st
once, but took things very cooly. All he
said was: "Gentlemen, let me put on my
clothes. My life has done me little good,
and l suppose l ought to be glad that my
death will be a source Of satisfaction to q lot
OF murderers.'
Some one cut him short with: "Be quick
about it." Skinner dressed himself and per-
mitted himself to be tied without struggle.
He was bound with leather thongs, and
rope adjusted about his neck. Then as
quietly as it had come into town the mob
made its way out the Cadiz road, leading
Skinner by the rope When the wild-cherry
tree was reached Skinner was standing up in
. spring wagon, the rope wss thrown over d
limb, and the wagon pulled cut from be-
meath him. He swung off and died The

weeks vacation. the custom for the last fif-
teen years. A petition was circulated and
unanimously signed by the pupils, but i'll
vain. As a last resort active strike meas

sixty pupils, from seven 10 sixteen
years Ct age, bade defiance to the pow
er. that be, and marched out OF the

and stripes Haunting over the truant heads.
On the banners were notices such as, We
claim our rights and similar expressions.
They tramped like a miniature army from
the playground and up the railroad track
into the suburbs, where they had regular
picnic. The strike continued all day, the
children going home for dinner at noon as
if nothing had happened and promptly re-
turning as if going 10 school, but instead
going to the general rendezvous.
