ewes by a comparison which she could not
help making between him and her cousin,
the young eGrand Duke Michael. The
latter is the youngest brother of the czar,
and in the event of the present ruler dy-
ing without male issue, he will become
czar.. for his older brother George is af-
f1icted with consumption, and can never
ascend TO the throne. Grand Duke Michael
is good-looking, full of health and spirits,
bright and witty. Moreover he returns
the affection Of the Princess Helene, and
she. of course, prefers to marry a brilliant
and good-lookingIyo relative, with the
certainty of remaining In Russia, and the
likelihood Of becoming the czarina, than
to wed a dfssipated cavalry officer. twen-
ty years her senior, and to exile herself
to the dreary court of Carlsruhe, with
only the prospect of eventually becoming
the Grand Duchess Of Baden. So she
broke off her engagement to Prince Max;
an action which gave much satisfaction
to the people. Going still further, this
imperial jilt ordered that all photographs
of herself and Prince Max together should
he destroyed These orders are now be-
ing carried out by the police, despite the
protests of the owners of the pictures.
II is said that Princess Helene objected to
marrying Prince Max from the beginning.

Last Wish Of Jennie O'Neil Potter Is That She
.sj May Again Appear in Public.

A woman lies in st. Lukes hospital, at
New York. knowing that she must die
in March, and, still she is happy. Her life
has been tempestuous; but her death
will be calm and peaceful Hers is a
strange nature-presr an extraordi-
nary psychological pt--omenon. Jennie
ONeil Potter was one of the best known
elocuticnists in the United States. She
made herself popular by reciting "How
Salvador Won,'' 'Flirts and Matrons'
and Swinging in the Grape Vine Swing"
Now she Is dying, and knows it. Her
greatest desire-expressed by herself for
publtcation-is to appear once more in
public, and If she can summon strength
the doctors will let her do it. The re-
quests of the dying are honored. A lit
erary friend--to please her-has written
monologue which tells of the scene
when the doctors told her she must die,
and closes with her death And this
strange woman, looking forward to the
end, and now in the Valley of the
Shadow, longs to rectte 1t.
Eight and twenty years ago, in a little
Western village. Jennie O'Neil Potter,
"the wild flower of the prairies,'' was
born. Patch Grove is the quaint name
of the odd little Wisconsin town where
this truly remarkable girl awoke to the
joy of life.
Jennie O'Neil Potter came out of her
home In the West about ten years ago.

that 'diablerie' with which the world
that claims to know all things, endows
the profession of the model she would
have become once more the height Oh
fashion in London.
She had been so when Sir Frederick
Leighton had proclaimed her beauty For
a few short weeks she had laughed mer-
rily at her own vogue. 1t had been es-
tablished quickly when she first ap-
peared in a small role at the Olympic
theater in the School for Scandal Sir
Frederick Leighton, then president of the
Royal academy, made the occasion q
me mtmentous one by applauding his model
rapturously from the stalls. He pro-
claimed her a beauty, and the town. like
sheep, followed ore another in his lead
to do her homage.
Rut the beautiful model had not the
least desire to turn the heads of men.
1t was the surest proof she was in love
with Only one. Him she sought to please
in her every pose, for him she sought to
mount higher the ladder of fame. Al
ways he was there to applaud her. 1t
was thought she would be happy when
at last she appeared at the Princess
in one of Henry Arthur Jones plays
as the leading lady. But after that
night the sad look in her eyes only in
creased and her ears remained deaf TO
the entreaties of the gilded youth who
gathered III her train.
For some months before her death
Dorothy Dene became a recluse. She
faded, as it were, slowly out Of sight.
She had contracted the seeds Of dread
consumption while wrapped in diaphan-
Gus draperies in Sir Frederick Leighton S
great studio. But. she had fulfilled her
mission-she had made of her beauty a
virtue, she had inspired great artist
to do great work.

WAR WEDDINGS.
Marriage Ceremonies Have Occurred
ON HattIefieids.

Marriage Ceremonies Have Occurred
ON BattIefields.
One Of the most notable features In con-
nection with the siege of Kimberley is the
callous way in which the inhabitants
treated the Boer bombardment, even find
ing time to celebrate three weddings dur
ing the progress of hostilities.
However unique this may seem, refer
ence to past campaigns will reveal other
cases of a similar nature. Even after the
slaughter of Waterloo two weddings came
off on the field one being especially pa
thetic in detail. A young officer In a well
known cavalry regiment sent direct from
England was ordered to leave home a few
days before he was to have been married,
and his fiancee disappointed and anxious
at the turn things had taken, decided to
follow him despite his protests. This she
did unknown to her lover, and was in
the neighborhood when the great battle
was fought.
After the victory she failed to gain any
news Of him, so thinking that he must
have fallen employed a peasant, and to-
gether they searched the field before the
work of rescuing the wounded was be-
gun After some hours she came upon
him lying half buried beneath bloody
heap of his own comrades and dead horses
in that part. of the field where the con-
flict had ragged f1ercest. He was not dead,
and at his request she sent the peasant
for priest, and not long afterward they
were mated where he lay only to be sep
arated a little later by death.
A burly guardsman furnished the next
case in point, which was a happier one,
for beyond a wound in the right arm the
bridegroom was in excellent health and
spirits. The marriage was celebrated at
daybreak on the morning after the bat
tie, and was conducted by the priest who
had moment before been reading mass
over the slain.
Even the misery which existed in the
trenches before Sebastopol during the
dreary winter of 1854 was broken by a
wedding celebrated in actual battle, the
desultory firing from the city forts and
the corresponding booming of guns TAX
ing the place of the wedding march"
The bride was connected with the nursing
department. and had for some time pre-
viously been under Miss Florence Nightin-
gale, until sent nearer the scene of hos
tilities, where she met and fell in love
with corporal in one Of the regiments Of
foot.

with her railroad expenses and a very
small sum besides, brave little "Jen''
started East.
All Patch Grove saw her off at the sta
ton. Not even Tartarin, leaving Taras-
con to kill all the lions in Africa and,
after that, on earth, had a more au-
spicious send-off. Arrived at New York
she was nightly astonished to find out
how few people had ever heard of her.
Worse than that, many of them assert ed
there was no such place as Patch Grove
on any we'll regulated map. Jennie be-
gan to realize the world was quite a
large place, but she thought people
needn't be so ignorant, just the same.
She had certainly heard of New York,
and ever Of Chicago, and there was no
reason why they shouldn't have heard of
Patch Grove. She felt. sorry for people
in general, but like wise girl she con-
tanned herself Those who saw her at
that elocutional convention We're struck
with her wild-rose beauty. Young, fresh
the June breeze on her own Wiscon-
sin prairies, black-haired blue-eyed, with
youthful hope and ambition, the girl was
indeed good to look at.
She heard of many great ladies in New
York who gave large entertainments, for
which they were anxious to hire good e!o-
cutionary talent. One day little Jennie
knocked at the door of the first Mrs. w.
G. Whitney. That most kind and gra-
cious of women received her well. She
asked little Miss Potter what were her
Endorsements and credentials as an artist.
Jennie proudly produced a sacred book
from her pocket. In it were several let

Dene's blue eyes have been, at it were,
,entrapped in their depths. They have been
fascinated in a glorious bath of color;
they have been reused to rhapsodies that
the eyes of no other woman could call
forth. She had an eye that was mesmeric.
A poet said in his enthusiasm that her
pupils were set in a heaven of blue.
With his immoral brush Sir Frederick
Leighton has described Dorothy Dene a
thousand times. She Is now a nymph,
now a Madonna, now she is frolicking
with a group of Greek girls; again she is
a Psyche at her bath, a wicked Jezebel,
or a glorious goddess.
Here her eyes are lowered, the white
lids holding in them charm Of coquetry
so potent that the gazer would fain petit
ton for the witchery of glance. Now
they are raised with a strength Of appeal
mightier than the tears of repentant
Magdalene. Dorothy Dene was an actress
after she had become a model.
Sir Frederick Leighton spread her fame
for beauty by giving her to the world as
he saw her-a creature nodded IN all the
symmetry of Grecian rule, with grace in
motion and harmony in repose.
Sir Frederick Leighton possessed the
science of anatomy in all its difficult in
tricacies. He had the knowledge and
Dorothy Dene was his inspiration.
At a sign the exquisite shoulders of his
beautiful model would curve backward or
forward into position, sympathetic to the
imagination of the artist, able to carry
out to suggest, to inspire.
In trying to describe Dorothy Dene one
pauses at every feature as If there were
no other beyond. Each being nodded in
a perfect form rivets the eyes.
Her head thrown back revealed neck

jectves used to describe the necks OF
other women Dorothy Dene's need a
language of its own. How impossible to
paint with a word the color of that flesh
that Sir Frederick studied to initiate for
months and months. Transparent 1t seem

on no palette; the next it was a pillar OF
marble supporting a wonderful head, the

of my own voice awoke me- The sun
was just rising in the east, ard its rays,
passing through the window at the head
of my cot, just sSuck my face. The
nurse, attracted by my singing, had come
to the bedside. When I awoke and saw
her standing there, she had the strang-
| est expression on her face.
Later on in the morning hours the
doctors came. The beginning of the

very kindly and tenderly broke to me

tempestuous and vicissitudinous, life
must end. l thought just when the spring

Something akin to affection Is aroused
in the breasts of the Russian people by
the Responsibilities of the beautiful
Grand Duchess Helene Of Vladimirovitch.
No princess of the Russian royal family
has been guilty Of SO many outbursts of
temper as this young woman; yet every
mistake that she makes Is silently ap
plauded by the masses in Russia, so great
a fascination has the combination of
comeliness and impetuosity for them. A
very short time ago the princess engage
ment to Prince Max Of Baden was made
public. The announcement was received
with neutrality, for, although the members
of the court and the people did not ap-
proye Of the proposed match, the young
princess was so popular that she was not
criticised.
Prince Max would hardly have been
suitable husband for such fiery maiden.
He is midway between thirty and forty,
quite bald, and of strongly formed habits
of dissipation. He regards his rank and
appearance with the utmost complacency,
and, Notwithstanding extreme narrow
ness of mind, he thinks that he Is all that
a future ruler of Baden should be.
With these attributes it is natural that
he did not fulfill the expectations of his
fancee as an ardent lover. She consider

Many Prehistoric Relics Have Been
Found In Various Places Lately.
Chicago Tribune
During the last few years the govern
ment has dug UP some queer human re-
mains in various places. From a pre-
historic mound in Alabama was obtained
a skull that was completely filed with
small shells, though for what purpose
cannot be imagined. Near Chillicothc,
O., were unearthed several skeletons
wearing copper masks-another unique
discovery in archaeology. Most remark
able Of all was human skull of iron
not produced by artifice mind YOU but
SO made by nature. 1t was found i'm
bedded in a mass of iron ore, and evident
ly 1t was inclosed in that way originally
by some accident In the course of CEN
turies the bone was disintegrated grad
ually by the action of water, each
particle being replaced by a particle of
iron, until at length the skull was no
longer bone, but metal. It's structure is
the iron is perfect In every detail, save
that the top of the head and the lower
Jaw are missing. This is one of few
human fossils that have been disclosed
up to date.
Gen. Kitchener's successes In the Sou
dan seem to have affected the skeleton
market of the world in marked way.
Dervish skeletons are now a special high
class line, and it is said that these
athletic fanatics furnish the finest human
bones that have ever been put on sale. =

Her young ambition was to conquer
fame in its great citadel. the East. Just
about that time elocutionists from all
over America held a meeting in New

another before she did her own Un-
fortunately there Is an obstacle which
may prevent her marrying Grand Duke
Michael. The laws of Russia and of the
Russian church prohibit the marriage of
first cousins. Even If a special dispensa-
ton could be obtained it Is doubtful II
the Russian people would show proper al
legiance to the sovereign who had broken
one of the fundamental laws of the coun-
try. 1t Is also doubtful whether the czar
would give his consent to such a match
or grant the necessary dispensation. 1t is
possible that the young people may wait
until Michael has become czar when, aft
er he has been consecrated as the SUI
preme head of the Russian church, he
could grant himself dispensation to
marry his beautiful cousin. Any attempt
to cross the purposes of the domineering
princess might result seriously. The I'm
