This is to be a fall of big weddings. :

This is to be a fall of big weddings. =
The latest announcement is the quiet
bethrothal of the Princess Margaret OF
Connaught to the Grand Duke Michael,
the next in line for the throne of Rus
STA.
The Princess is the eldest daughter
of the Duke who is at the head of the
British navy.
The Grand Duke is the young broth
er of the Car, and his successor, in
case the Car should have no male
heirs. The Duke is not yet Il years
old, the Princess is much younger.
The union of the two gives the English
great pleasure and the Russians are
also pleased with it, though not as much
as though the Princess were a German.
When the young Gar went into Eng
land and married Alice of Hesse the
Russians objected, not liking the Eng
aishwoman. When the years went by
and only girls were born, they said,
loudly: ut is because she is English.
1t is curse"
1t is of course a blow to them that
the Cars successor should also go into
England for wife, but there are, in
this case many mitigating features.
The Princess Margaret is very
wealthy. Allowed an income from the
Crown, she will also inherit large
sum from her father, who is the owner
of vast estates in Germany. While
Russia is not poor, it is by no means
SO rich that an addition of millions
counts for nothing.
The Princess, besides being rich and
beautiful, has that quality most dearly
priced by royalty-the priceless boon of
health. In all her eighteen years Of
life she has never been i'll a day, and,
when the royal physician makes his
weekly tour of the palace he leaves no
prescription behind for this bonnie
young Princess.
The Russian law will not allow the
heir to the throne to marry a cousin,
therefore Margaret is specially well
suited; for, though connected, she is
only distantly So

love to the Archducbess and found his
suit received favorably.
1t is undoubtedly fact that King
Alexander of Servia was bargaining for
the hand Of the Infanta Maria-de-las
Mercedes of Spain, eldest sister Of King
Alphonso. 1t is also true that the
Prince of Orleans wants her. The
young lady is now nineteen years old
and is very attractive. Whether she
that of a young king whose reputation
is furnished by the deeds of his father
is a question.
The Princess would be Queen, and
Wheeling Sunday register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1882-1934, 1899-11-12

she would have plenty of money, for
Servia is rich and the income of the
King is large; but whether she would
consent to leaving highly respectable
country like Spain for one which 'ex-
ercises as little power in the ruling of
nations as Servia is doubtful. AS a
love match it would be a success, for
the King is gentle, and is of good hab-
its, all rumors to the contrary notwith-
standing.
