Col. Alexander Majors, of the
old firm of Russell, Majors q Wad-
dell, the greatest freighters IN the
early days of the commerce OF the
prairies, Is now stopping in Denver.
From their old trains came supplies
for the Western mining camps,
and even prior to that time on the
old Santa Fe trail they were equally
prominent. Freight rates were
high, but in those days when the
Indians made their frequent raids.
and the loss of wagon train in
volved heavy loss, there was y
great risk to run. Col. Majors is
one OF the most interesting char
acters that survived the days OF the
olden time frontier.

coast At Vera Cruz to the capital was veri-
table ovation. The royal pair travelled over
the whole route In carriages without es-
cort or guard. Every village welcomed the
new ruler, every city presented its keys
and made festivities lasting many days.
w hen the royal carriage appeared in the
procession the people could hardly be re-
strained from embarrassing the animals
and drawing the vehicle with their hands.
At puebla on Carlotta's birthday, there
was grand banquet and ball, and wher-
ever Macmillan and Carlotta appeared on
the street their pathway was carpeted with
flowers. No wonder that the emperor was
moved to say in response to the universal
congratulations showered upon him, The

TWO CHARMING BRIDES.

Weddings Remarkable for the Entire
Lack of OstentatiOn.
"Drexel Trick" was the compound
heading of an announcement which put
all the circle of Philadelphia's best in
futter, for the groom was the last bach
elor son of the famous banker, A. j.
Drexel, and a nephew of George W.
Childs. and the bride was the beautiful
and talented Miss Mary Stretch Trick, of
Mount Holly, n. j. Unfortunately the
severe illness of the groom's mother
made very private marriage necessary,
and so none but members of the two
families and few intimate friends were
present. The ceremony was performed
by the Right Rev. John Scarborough,
bishop of the diocese, assisted by two
other clergymen, in the little Trinity
Protestant Episcopal chapel of Vincen-
town, n. J.
There were neither ushers nor brides
maids. and instead of the contemplated
wedding tour the young couple went at
once to their elegant mansion in Phila-
delphia, a present from the groom's
father. to await the outcome of Mrs. A.
J. Drexels illness. The presents, how
ever, were numerous and elegant, among
them a diamond necklace to the bride
by Mr.. G.. w. Childs, and an elaborate
silver tea set from his wife. Bride and
groom are Of the same age, twenty-five,

audible voice of dissent Well might the
world look on with approval and hope;
well might Macmillan and his princess
have their souls in peace. Yet the sanguine
Teuton was no purblind fool. Well he
knew the volatile natures of the Latin peo-
pie. And besides he had had warning.
After he had accepted the crown and was
in Paris comforting with Napoleon he was
waited upon by one Col. Won Gagern, a
truly noble soldier of fortune who had for
feited his rank in the Prussian army by
joining the revolutionists in 1913, and sub
sequently drifted into Santa Annals camps.
The French made him prisoner when they
first invaded Mexico and sent him to Paris.
After picturing Mexico in thu darkest
colors to Macmillan and seeing that moth
fng could dissuade him he said, 81 fear
your imperial highness will pay for the
attempt with your head"
But Macmillan was of the house of
Hapsburg. of the land Of Charlemagne, a
breed of princes that dares whatever man
dares, and he simply kept right on in the
role cut out for him by the logic of events.
He set to work to study the people, their
natures, customs and needs; he kept the
monarchy business out of sight, conciliated
frowned down class distinction, called the
poems Mexicans, himself adopted Mexican
dress, language and habits, spent his own
vast resources in founding schools and col
leges; he adorned the cities, made public
improvements, caused the wastes to bios
som into gardens; yes, like his great proto-
type King Arthur, "felIed the forest and
let in the SUM-"
He was a reformer and organizer, a
leader with royal mission, and he went
about his task in the manifest heartiest
way. But he was ages in advance of his
surroundings. At the very first breath of
adverse winds the shallowness of his sup
port was manifested. Napoleon basely de-
serted him. Bazaine held the destinies of
the empire upon the bayonets OF his
Zouaves. He was the real ruler.
In the second year of Maximilan's reign
the civil war III the United States ended,
and Napoleon, at the instance of our gov
eminent, recalled Bazaine and his bayo-
nets. But before this important act took
place Bazaine had misled Macmillan into
a step that sealed his doom. The French
marshal represented that his arms had dis
persed the champions of republicanism,

Intelligent Missionary Effort.

The Rev. Dr. Storrs, the president OF
the American board of commissioners ol
foreign missions, has good reasons for
facilitating himself on the result of his
conciliatory policy. The boards receipts
for this yeaI have been 1890, 991, against
$465,372 the previous twelve months.

has such interests under its charge as
this one, something more is needed
than determination 70 crush ont all in

chine in operation along lines not at all
adapted to increase the support Of foreign
missions, even among those inclined IL

his broad outlook, has called halt TO
those elements which were reducing the
annual contributions for that object
