 Her Unhappy Life

year, was wont to appeal to for dvice and counsel in all moments of difficulty.
 Her Unhappy Life
 Her life has been far from happy one, for after a childhood spent among the dis graceful intrigues and scandalous immor- aitles for which the court of Madrid was noted during the reign of her mother she was welded when still in her teens to Count Cergenti, bfother or the ex-king of Naples. She only discovered subsequent to her marriage that her husband was afflict- ed with epilepsy in one of it's most frightful and disgusting forms. After about two years of a wretched matrimonial existence, he put an end to his existence by cutting his throat with a razor by her bedside at the Grand hotel at Geneva From that time forth she devoted herself entirely to her brother, the late king, and until the birth of his eldest child ranked as heir to the throne and bore the title of Princess of Asturias After his death she took up her residence in the royal palace at Madrid with the avowed intention of looking after the interests of her little nephew, the pres- ent king, and 1t may be safely asserted that although she differs from the queen regent on many political questions, her one object in life has been the welfare of the royal lad.
 Considerably over 40, and with hair of snowy white, she is homely in the extreme. and while extremely elegant in her attire and in her bearing, is altogether masculine in the strength of her character, in the vigor of her speech, and in her broad and comprehensive manner of looking at things. She is celebrated as one of the best four in-hand whips among the fair sex in Eu- rope, shoots with unerring aim, and rides to hounds twice and sometimes three times week. She looks upon constitutional gov ernment as omething very much akin to republicanism, and has offered the most powerful opposition to every liberal reform enacted during the reign of her brother or the regency of his widow. It is, therefore, quite natural that she should be an object of particular horror and aversion to soeial- ists and anarchists, who on more than one occasion have essayed to destroy her life by means of dynamite.
 I may add in conclusion that, although the queen and the infanta differ totally from one another in politics, they have both respect and affection for one another. The abandonment by the queen of the re- gency would, therefore, not necessarily mean anything in the shape of an exile of Christina. Indeed, it is probable that she would continue to reside at Madrid with her son, the boy king. She would merely revert to her position as a widowed queen and queen mother, without the responsibil- ity or the cares of a regent

There were Republican primaries in
all the city wards Saturday to select
delegates to Tuesdays convention, and
in many of the wards, also, nomina-
tions were made for the councils or ex-
isting board of control by both Repub-
licans and Democrats, There were
several warm fights for the latter
offices. but at such Caucuses as only
elected delegates the voting was very
tame. Election officers were named in
various of the wards.
AT the spring election. select and
common councilmen are to be elected
from the even numbered wards and a
school controller from the odd wards.
A school controller is also to be select
ed from one of the even wards-the
Eighth-to fill the vacancy caused by
the resignation of f. l.. Wormser.
The battle array as far as the forces
have lined UP is as follows:
George II. Shires was nominated for
school controller to succeed himself by
the First ward Republicans, two weeks
ago. So far no Democrat has come out
to give him battle.
In the Second ward Select Council

ACCUSES HER HUSBAND.
What Mrs. AlIerton Says About the Fire
in Her Boarding House on
Mulberry Street.

The Tribunes report OF the fire in
Miss Celia Allerton's boarding house
Saturday morning closing at 5.20 a.
m., told exclusively of the discovery
of signs Of incendarism in the build
ing. Developments later in the morn
ing added to this evidence 10 a start
ling degree. All over the house the
marks of deliberate attempts to fire
the house were found by Chief Hickey,
tho police and The Tribune reporters.
The question is, Who was the tiend?
Mrs. Allerton, who conducted the
boarding house, i'm an interview with
Tribune reporter yesterday charged
her husband with having committed
the deed. His name is not known. He
was her second husband and she does
not use his name. II; is said that Mrs.
Allerton was rich when she met her
second choice Now she is not.
She started to tell of him yesterday
to the reporter but her 10 year old
daughter. May, summoned here Satur-
day from her study for the stage at
New York city, held the mother in
check
She told how man in womans'
clothing had been lettering about the
previolls to the fire she heard the rear
door shake as If some one was trying
the lock. Il called my maid" said
Mrs. Allerton, but she was afraid. 1
was always warned never to put my
head out Of the window but the tramp
ing about the yard continued. the door
knob scraped and l opened the window
and looked ont. There was a dog, with
n in IN
down the window hastily. There was
another sound. l again looked out.
The dog was going away as if some
one was calling it. l saw no one but
Mr. Barber one Of the boarders, told
ne today (after the fire. that when
he was entering the house at II o'clock
he saw a man in womans' clothes
leaving the front of the house and
crossing Mulberry street.
"Indeed. | was not surprised at this"
said Mrs. Allerton: my daughter had
an experience of the same kind be-
fore"
Whereupon Miss May, the budding
actress, told the reporter how ore even
ing several months ago she and
friend when returning after the theater
saw a man in woman's attire with a
dog, move from the front of the house
when they approached. Mrs. Allerton
could tell it was a man by the long
strides he took while crossing the
street.
Mrs. Alerton showed the reporter
Just how man could get into the
house. A window i'm the side Of the
house was never locked, ''Mr. Barber
one of the boarders," said Mrs. Aller-
ton, got in through that window only
last night. The door was locked ar 4
he hadn't a key" Mrs. Allerton also
stated that the basement door in the
rear had been broken open. The locks,
she said, showed it.
Then you think it was your hus-
| band who did the deed?'
II do think So" said Mrs. AllertOn.
| And to thing that he in trying TO kill
me would harm the others--oh-oh" "
| and she began to cry.
Mrs. Allerton stated that she would
sell her household furnishings and
leave the city with her daughter. The
| furniture was insured by Luce Bros,
| for the full amount of damages, which
is under $500.
