General Miles, as commanding general
OF The army, has just been called upon to
decide on somewhat delicate question
in which military discipline was mixed up
with moral and sentimental considera-
tons. As is we'll known, the army au-
thorities regard soldier married as
soldier marred, especially If the soldier is
private, and commanding officers have
often gone so far as to refuse permission
to wed 10 the men under them. Recently

Montana Joined in the bonds of matri-
mony a private soldier there and a
young woman who was working as do
mestic servant for the family of one of the
officers. No permission for the wedding
had been granted, and none had been
asked. Next day the post commander
reprimanded the chaplain severely, de-
claring that his act was unauthorized and
improper. he chaplain resented this, and
appealed TO the adiutant- general, fror,
whom the case went TO General Miles for
final action. In rendering his decision
General Miles says: 1.-The course OF the

mendation of the Queen, he has been per-
mitted to hold beyond the allotted time
and to which he was appointed altogether
out OF his turn and very unexpectedly,
shortly prior to the marriage of the Duke
OF York to Princess Mary of Teck.
1t is just this marriage of the Duke
which is popularly reported to constitute
the cause of the good fortune of the gall
liant admiral. The wedding of the Duke
was preceded by so many bitches and de-
lays that it was feared at one time that it
would never take place, and it is we'll
known that the Princess of Wales herself
was most averse to her son marrying
Princess May. 1t is generally believed
that the holding back of the Duke and the
objection of his mother to the match lay
in the fact that he was, If not legally, at
any rate enthusiastically, bound by matri-
monial ties to a daughter of Sir Michael
Seymour, whom he was alleged to have
married secretly at Malta.
If there ever had been any marriage of
this kind between the Duke and Miss
Mary Seymour it was, of course, not valid
in the eyes of the law, since the consent
OF the sovereign and of Parliament which
in the case Of members of the reigning
family are indispensable to render a legal
bond. had never been either asked or
granted. Still at the same time it is easy
to understand that ii any secret ceremony
had taken place at Malta the situation of
the Duke was, to say the least awkward.
So persistent were the reports connect
ing the name of Miss Seymour with that
of the Duke at the time of the latter's
wedding to Princess May that the English
Government actually considered it neces-
sary to issue an official denial of the ru.
NOR. This, however, merely had the eff.
feet OF still further convincing people that
there was some foundation for the gossip,
inasmuch as the last occasion of which
an official denial OF this kind was made
was during the reign of King George III,
when it was held advisable to put stop
to the story that the Prince Regent CATER.
ward King George IV) had contracted a
secret marriage with the beautiful Mrs.
Fitzherbert. Now it has been proved over
and over again, by means of documentary
evidence and other incontrovertible testi-
mony. that m arriage did take place te-
tween Mrs. Fitzherbert and the Prince
Regent, end hence the parallel drawn be-
tween the two cases was entirely to the
disadvantage of the Duke of York and
Miss Seymour
Whatever the case may be it is some
what significant that the very marked
manifestations of royal favors toward
Admiral Seymour date from the time of
the Dukes marriage. and that the knight
hood which was conferred upon the cele-
brated London lawyer, Sir George Lewis,
about the same period was asserted to
have been granted to him for the SER
vices which he rendered in negotiating

BALTIMORE, ND. April Thames s.
Maffitt, formerly an actor and panto-
mimist, died while undergoing an opera
tion here. He was 80 years old. He was
the original lone fisherman, creating the
part when "Evangeline" was first pro.
duced.
"Evangeliue," which gave Maffitt his
first professional lift, was brought out at
Niblo's Garden, New York, June %, 1874,
with lone Burke and w. II. Crane as prin-
cipals. 1t was a failure. In 1875 Cheever
Goodwin and E. E. Rice worked it over
and presented it in Boston, with Laura
Joyce, Harry Beckett, Murdock Farr and
Maffitt, who was given the novel role of
the lone fisherman. This unique person
age had nothing to do with the burlesoue,
never spoke a word, was never seen by the
people on the stage. yet was present in
every scene. He made more impression on
the mind of the spectators than ell the
other people put together. Maffitt's
makeup, dances and pantomi mic acting
made q great hit, and for years he was
one of the brightest features of the bur-
lesQue.
