! sN ~ ago, Prince Os
. ~ ~ car, of Sweden
.&KlR M a nephew of the
f7IVlNl 4 present king
S+ AIkU shocked court
tM.. WNI IN circles by declar'
Wtt..NC ing that he in
M+,.l tended to marry
NJ nv MissEbba Monk,
$50 yonng lady OF
patrician birth, but yet far below him
in rank. The King protested, and ever
refused to permit the marriage, where
upon Prince Oscar declared that he
would yield his title and resign all
rights Of succession, but that marry
Miss Monk he certainly would.
The marriage was celebrated in due
time, and Prince Oscar has never been
seen in the royal circles since. The
King and Queen have maintained
friendly but distant relations with their
Democratic nephew, who is known SIM
| ply as Prince Oscar, and who is inn
mensely popular with the people be-
cause of his philanthropy.
Prince Oscar and his wife have been
devoted to causes of charity and benev-
Lolenee, but recently have created Sec
ond sensation by j,ining the ranks Of
the Salvation Army. The Prince and
his wife hold regular open-air meetings
according to the methods Of the Army.
The Prince exhorts, and he and his
wife lead in the street singing.

There is dismay among the feminine
students of Northwestern University
(Ill). In future the faculty will exer-
else stricter surveillance over their
movements. No more moonlight RAM
bles along the lake with a fascinating
young man as companion; no more
night strolls on the campus; no more
sentimental study Of astronomy. These
are all of the past. The watchful eye
of the chaperone will follow them here
after, and their former liberty will be
very much curtaiIed. The faculty has
decreed that undergraduates of the
feminine gender shall not leave town
in the evening without a chaperone;
that they shall only receive social calls
from gentlemen on Friday or Saturday
evenings, and that no organization nor
group of students shall hold more than
one social entertainment q year to
which both sexes are invited. The girls
are indignant, but what can they do
about itP

There is a pretty dairy maid in Sill |
yer Lake, Ind, who is seeking hus-
band, and who has advertised her
want in rather unique manner. The
New York Herald tells that A. Wegen-
roth, cocoa merchant, of West Ho-
boken, N. j., bought lot of eggs the
other day, and on one of hem found
the following inscri. .,tion, written in
purple ink: 81 am pretty dairy maid,
of Indiana, and would like to get a
young, handsome husband. Will ex-
change photographs. Miss Mary Sachel,
Silver Lake, Ind"
Mr.. Wegenroth still has the egg, but
as he is married man, has no use for
it, outside of ordinary business, and
will willingly turn it over to the first
swain anxious to correspond with the
Indiana girl.
