A SOUVENIR OF CORONATION.

the servants hall. where she will drink
toast with the maids and cooks, buffers
and boys, who do her bidding in the castle.
They have a grand Christmas dance IN
the evening, of which the queen is the cen
ter. Wilhelmina is not fond of dancing,
but she has promised on this occasion to
trip down the great hall with her head
cook and the whole palace is on the qnl
vive for the festive sight.
For two weeks all the evergreen gath
erers of Holland have been sending their
choicest boughs to the young queen, and
one side of the palace up to the great win
dows is stacked with the feathery treasure
II she were to have a Christmas tree farm
she might plant a forest in her palace
grounds without drawing heavily upon the
heap.
1t is said that on Christmas day at the
feast itself, the formal announcement Of
Wilhelmina's engagement to the Prince of
WED will be made This engagement has
already been variously announced in diff
ferent quarters, but to have the sanction
of the states-general 1t must be told by
Wilhelmina herself to them and to the en-
tire royal family.
The rumor was circulated in Europe that
Wilhelmina had refused to marry the
rince of Wied unless he would acknowl-
edge his inferiority on the throne. She
would not have him called the Prince Con-
sort; he must be the Prince of Wied-Hol-
land, husband of the queen. But this is
very much to be doubted, as Wihelmina,
Tough wiful, is very much in love with
him.
Holland is to have one mad feast of re-
joicing on Christmas day, for Wilhelmina
has decided that all the poor shall receive
large dinner, and this means a very large
feast, for under the head of the poor come
all the peasants, and those who are not
actually land owners. Holland has no beg
CARS, but those who do not own land are
called poor.
Her majesty's private charity, which is n
very prosperous orphan asylum at The
Hague, will enjoy a marvellous Christmas
and she will feast those old women of
Amsterdam, about whom you have heard
so much. These are the aged poor who
knew her father, and who blessed Wilhel-
nina because she was the daughter of the

and intimated that she wished to purchase
extensively for holiday gifts to her
friends.
When the dealer arrived with his chests
of goods her majesty looked them over and
pronounced them "entirely too foreign"
The dealer had, in his anxiety to please
her, drawn upon the resources of India,
Japan, China and France for all sorts of
rare imported wares.
He had draperies from the Orient, lac
quers from China, and marvellous French
glass, which he spread out before her. But
Wilhemina wanted none of them. She
wanted Dutch ware or none at all.
Looking over the boxes of goods spread
out before her, she gave a disdainful wave
of her hand and said, 81 like delft; give me
blue china; the things made in Holland. I
will call at your shop tomorrow"
Abashed, yet willing to please her ma
jesty, the = Ter hurried away with his
goods. and the following morning he had
spread out in It's show room magnificent

BARNUM's WIDOW.
She Has Taken Third Husband II
the Person of Baron.
From the New York World.

From the New York World.
Phineas T. Barnum's widow, his second
wife, has taken third husband. Her sec
ond, the successor of the proprietor of 1.-THE
Greatest Show on Earth was Demetri
Callias Bey, a Greek. He died September Y,
1896, while his wife was in this country on
visit.
Now, according to the cards received by
her friends in this country, she has been
married to Baron Alexandryd Orgeniane,
a French nobleman. The wedding took place
al Paris, December s.

beauty when Snowman Barnum, thirty
years her senior married her. Their mar
ried life was happy and he built for her

Occasionally Mrs. Barnum Travelled abroad
after her husbands death, and on one of
these trips she met Demetr Callias Bey
whose bride she became on August 8, 1885,
the ceremony being performed at the Greek
church No. $40 West Fifty-third street, in
this city.
Callias Bey died in Constant,nople and
shortly after his death the widow returned
to Bridgeport and sold nearly all her Amer

crotchety old king, whom they loved in
spite of his crotchets.
On Christmas day these toothless old
crones will get together and rehearse the
tales of Wilheminas childhood. They will
tell how once. to save a servant from dis
missal, she glued tea-cup together which
he had broken and had the servant bring
1t to her at the table, filled with cold tea.
When it was set before her she lei 1t drop
on the floor. "Oh, father" exclaimed She
81 have broken your best tea-cup. You
said you would dismiss from the palace the
one who broke that cup"
Old King William was as wise as he was
old and cross, and he saw through the de-
vice of his baby daughter TO save the SER
want and loved her all the more.
1t is fourteen years ago this Christmas
since Wihelmina was brought in to the
table disguised a basket of flowers. Her
mother the young Queen Emma, wanted to
please the old king and she ordered the
baby girl to be set before him on Christmas
morning, covered with roses. When the
king laid down the papers, which he per-
sisted in reading at the breakfast table like
any commoner, up popped Wilhemina with
a merry Christmas.
The little children of Holland are all set
ting out their wooden shoes for the advent
of st. Nick, who comes very regularly every
year, but Wilhelmina will discard the
wooden shoes this year, for she realizes that
she must be grown up person. or Wo-
mans size and woman's estate she has be-
come very feminine and is taking the great
est pride In a beautiful robe which has been
made for her to wear Christmas evening.
The Prince of Wied will get very charm
ing wife, when he weds Wilhemina, for
she is as sweet as she is fair to look upon;
and though wilful, she has such fund of
Dutch common sense he can think his
Christmas lucky one as well as very
merry one.
The prince lives at Amsterdam, for he
has noble blood in him, and has always
spent part of the year at The Hague and at
Amsterdam For years his quiet wooing
has been going on unsupported in Europe
and, since his boyhood, Queen Emma has
been anxiously watching him, to see IL his
traits were such as to make her girl queen
happy.
The age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1897-1902, 1898-12-25

of congratulation, for 1t is royal etiquette
to wire the Christmas message to each OF
the crowned heads of Europe. Wilhelmina' 5
messages were all prepared before Christ
mas, but she must receive those sent her
at the hour set for her by the secretary and
must acknowledge them on Christmas af-
ternoon
Then comes the. great Dutch Christmas
dinner which Is such a wonderful feast
there This year Wlhelmina will entertain
very large family party, for all the ladies
and all the gentlemen of the court of Hol-
land must be present at the Christmas din
ner, and in the>great hall beyond will sit
the heads of the household. The stenog-
raphers, the housekeepers, the telegraph
operators, the caterers, the electricians and
heads of repairs and other important func-
tionaries who keep the palace habitable,
will dine here, waited upon by the maids
and lower servants.

name and has omitted no one. The past
week has been spent in doing up the pack
ages and sending them, for Wilhelmina has
addressed with her own hands each one.
The first Christmas Of the young queen of
Holland will be spent in an entirely domes-
tic way, for she has certain obligations to
perform. In the morning her ministers who
form the cabinet, or as they are called in
Holland, the states-gsneral, will visit her
and wish her a merry Christmas. She must
go to the little church where she was
crowned few months ago, and after
church will come the opening of gifts. For
up to this time the young queen has been
obliged to restrain her Christmas curiosity
as best she could.

THE FIRST CHRISTMAS
:. OF QUEEN WILHELMINA
AS Ruler of the Netherlands She Starts III This
Christmas Day a Broad Career of Qneen-
~ Wi1fu1ness and Generosity.

Marvellous things come from Holland of
the mixed wilfulness and generosity of the
young queen, who today celebrates her
first Christmas as a queen. The world sees
only twice century the spectacle of a
young queen on the throne in her own right,
and it watches with anxiety and interest to
see how the young sovereign will govern
herself.
Up to the time of her actual succession to
the throne Wilhelmina was so walled in by
parental control that her own traits could
not more than half show themselves, but
as soon as the reins were handed to her,

supply of everything made in Holland
There were Dutch weaves of the heaviest
cloths, made upon ponderous Dutch looms
warranted to wear forever as ideal draper
les. There were handsome chairs of eiabor-
ate designs and of delft such plentiful
collection as never was seen before.
Wilhelmina looked over them all with in
terest, selecting many small articles such
as bookmarks, paper knives, ink bottles
and the small trif1es which please a girl.
Then she turned to the heavier stuffs, of
which she purchased many pieces for her
grown up friends, good Dutch matrons who
like substantial articles, as Wilhelmna
knows.
She then turned to the paintings of Dutch

she made her own rules to which even her
mother is now subject.
Broad as Holland is in its government;
and sedate and conservative as its rulers
must be, 1t is still a monarchy, and it's
queen has great power.
Six weeks ago, very soon after she got
the first quarterly payment of the large in
come which the Hollanders pay their queen,
Wilhelmina wrote letter to a bric-a-brac
dealer in Amsterdam inviting him to call

and, picking out a quantity of small pic

and mills, she ordered them sent to her.
Then she went out to her carriage, and,
taking the reins in her own hands, went for
a long drive She had discharged her duty
in the matter of Christmas shopping.
The young Queen of Holland will bestow
her gifts upon her cousins of Nassau and

time ago and IN company with Thomas
Halues charged with the murder OF an
Indian named Watnse b ,nson, on the res
ervation, and discharged.
At the first hearing there appeared to
be no eye witness OF the affair and prob
able theory OF the death was That Bsnson
fell from his wagon aud broke his neck
and bruised his head on stone. 1t
seems now that squaw says she was an
eyewitness at a distance and that Ross
later acknowledged that he broke Ben
sons neck by jerking his head back by
the hair. 1t is said she also saw a small
iron bar in the murderer hand, with
which he struck his victim. She says he
promised her 500 for her silence and
threatened her with death if she told any
body, hence her silence at the first hear
ing. Ross has not been re-arrested as
has been rumored, but Mr.. Snively, who
is one of the attorneys, says that if he is
indicted he will at once produce him in

In general way il has been recor.

During The past winter. however. n
number Of inquiries were received by
the department of agriculture Of the
University of Nebraska. asking for in
formation about the efficiency of corn
as fuel, and the author undertook the
investigation Of this subject.
From the experience OF the author in
conducting boiler tests Of corn, it is
doubtful whether it would bp a prac-
ticable fuel for the generation - pow
err unless il were burned in some spe-
cial furnace that would insure the per-
feet combustion of the volatile matter
which forms so large percentage Of

idly and must be frequently fired, max
ing the work of the firemcu very ard
uous, and at the same time tending to
cause Incomplete combustion through
the fire door.
Undoubtedly, corn may at times be a
cheap and economical fuel for domestic
use. II is cleaner and more easily
handled than coal, and contains but IA
very small amount of ash. 1t burns
rapidly with an intense heat, which
is apt 10 be destructive to the cast iron
Innings of the stove. Here, again, SOME
