IL Pleases the Politicians, But the Bride
Is to Be PItied.


Is to BE PItied.
The marriage of Princess Helene of
Montenegro, daughter of Prince Mich
olas Tor Nikita), of that principally, to
Victor Emanuel, prince of Naples and
heir apparent to the throne of Italy, was
solemnized in Rome the other day. II
was semi-private affair, no invitations
having been issued to the European
courts. The civil marriage took place
in the ballroom of the quirinal, while
the religious ceremony was performed
after the ritual of the Church of Rome
at the Church of ST. Mary of the Angels.
The religious wedding was attended by
considerable splendor.
OF all royal marriages of the last 20
years this one is literally the worst. The
prince is dwarf, measuring scarce
four feet in his stockings, is ugly of
countenance, morose, and at times vi
plent of disposition, and withal pos
sesses so weak and puny n constitution
that several times during the last two
years his life has hung in the balance.
His bride, on the other hand, is tall,
towering over her husband by a foot
and a half, well built, decidedly pleasing
of face, vivacious and lively in DISPOSE
ton. Since reaching mans estate the
prince has sought for and been refused
the hand of nearly every marriageable
princess in Europe; while, on the other
hand, the princess has been compelled
by her parents and the influence of the
Russian court to put away from her the
attentions of many fascinating and
handsome cOurtiers who have gone
a-woOing in her direction. The wedding
is a barter of beauty for cash. The
prince is as wealthy as he is ugly; the
princess as poor as she is handsome.
Her father, the harlequin ruler of
Montenegro, is a pauper, dependent
upon the bounty of the present car,
whose mother undertook the raising
and education of the princess. There
was a time when it was thought that a
match would be made between Princess
Helene and the car. and, in fact, it is
generally understood that they once
plighted their troth in secret but this
was before the emperor had seen
Princess AliX of lIesse. granddaughter
of Queen Victoria, and for whom, so
the story runs, he Tilted the fair daugh-
ter of Montenegro. However, he has
done the right thing by his former
sweetheart by giving her n dowery of
nearly 81 100000 and a wedding present
of a diamond ornament purchased in
France at cost of 100000.
There is, of course, political aspect
to the wedding, inasmuch as it brings
about a resumption of the friendly re-
lations existing in olden times between
Italy and Montenegro Now that this
principality has furnished a future
queen to Italy, the Italians expect to re-
gain the connection and influence in the
principality which were broken off
three centuries ago.

paper, but not much, and tits much bet

The bicycle has become wonderfully
popular in Cairo during the last two
years, and there are many more ma
chimes ridden by the members OF both
sexes to be seen in the city and in the
suburbs than anyone is apt to suppose.
This is not surprising, all things con-
sidered. What is called the Ismailiya
quarter is all new and pretty, with wide,
smooth streets for practice, and there is
rain only just often enough to prevent
one from saying that it never rains.
The climate let's one wheel every day
in the year.
1t is a delightful spin to the pyra-
mids. Leaving the busy streets of the
city, you cross the great Nile bridge,
skirt the lovely park of Gluzeh, and then
run straightway for five miles down the
perfectly level tree-shaded avenue to
the things to eat and drink. The dis
lance is eight miles, and before one
starts back he has plenty of time to
climb the big pyramid, shake hands
with the sphinx, and use the tomb of the
priest as a dark room to change his
camera plates.-London Cyclist.

A Strange story.

The Clipper is rejoiced to be able
to state that one newspaper office in
Vermont always has good wad of
cash on hand, and is apparently en-,
dowed with permanent sinking
fund. This is strange but absolutely
true. The paper is the st. Adams
Sun. A party who occupied the Of
fee prior to the advent of the halcyon
youths who now have their grip on
the mighty lever which controls the
destinies of the Sun left in the office
safe in which is deposited $40 in
currency and flask of the usual
whiskey of commerce. He is now in
the Klondyke or some other torrid
zone, with the secret of the combina-
ton of the locked safe lost IN the
wilds of his memory. Meanwhile in
periods of financial and other stress
the Sun statesmen elevate their
neither limbs on the thought strewn
office desk and while inhaling the
balmy aroma of siggeret gaze with
an indiscribable longing at the safe.

agony of mind be conceived like I'M
