Copenhagen

OF late years as King Christians
| grandchildren have been marrying, q
| bride and bridegroom are not unfre:
uently of the annual party. The pair
| this last time was the youthful Grand
| Duchess Olga of Russia and Duke Pc
| ter of Oldenburg, the latter in age and
appearance seeming to belong to the
! senior generation, though in reality he
| is years younger than was the duke of
Fife as bridegroom. Not so long ago
Princess Marie Louise of Cumberland
and Prince Max of Baden and Princess
Marie of Greece, with the Grand Duke
George Michaelovitch of Russia, were
the happy couples Of the Fredenborg
gathering. Princess Maud of England,
as Princess Charles of Denmark, is a
married lady of standing now, and the
years which are rolling on have given
her young husband a somewhat serious
air, different from his former merry ex-
preston. Among them all the grand
old Danish king maintains brave and
cheerful attitude and is smart still,
despite his SO birthdays.
APP. .Koedt, the new organizer of
the new Liberal movement in Den,
mark, which is attracting international
attention to that antique kingdom. is
romantically associated with this coun-
try and the city of Chicago. In 1879,
when Koedt was, touring the United
States he was married in Chicago to an
English lady, whom he had met on his
travels. The clergyman who per-
formed the ceremony was the late Pro
fessor4 Swing, at that time one of the
most 4widely discussed men in America.
The Danish statesman is an economist
OF note and is called the Richard Cob
den of Denmark. A longtime member
of the Danish legislature and chairman
Of several of its important committees,
he was invited into the new cabinet
and offered the portfolio Of finance,
but for private reasons he was COM
PEELED to decline. At the same time
he occupies place of unique distinc-
tion, and his counsel is valued most
highly by the other leaders of the Lib
eral party.

between the four protecting powers
with regard to the independence Of
Crete. King George of Greece had I

CHICAGO PRIVATE LIBRARIES

One of the finest and most extensive
libraries of dramatic literature in this
country is owned by A. j. Cox.
The 10000 volume library OF tie late
DIR. S. E. Lane is now the property Of
his son. 1t is largely composed OF
books of travel and biography.
c. j. Morse has one OF the most
valuable libraries Of books Of japanese
and Chinese art, literature and history
in the west. At present 1t is housed
in Evanston.
Well supplied as Chicago is with
public libraries and content as the
great majority of readers are TO de-
pend on those libraries for books
either for reference or perusal, there
are many reading families into which
only purchased volumes are ever al
mitted.
E. E. Aver, OF Banks street, North
side, has for many years past been
an acauirer of literature on Columbia
and now he is credited with having
the worlds most complete and val
liable collection of books, pamphlets
maps, surveys. etc, bearing on Amer
ica's geography, settlement and his
tory.
II. II. Martin, of Richie court
North side, has an extensive library
that is not confined to single large
room. but fills several large cham
bers; indeed, it occupies nearly th'
whole house. II numbers between
| 1000 and 5000 volumes, representing
nearly every department of literature
After a not very searching inquiry
in this city concerning the number o
private libraries here containing
large enough number of volumes Z
entitle them to public mention, it
quite within bounds TO say that ther
are 25 libraries which, all counted
have JOG. 500 volumes. There IS on
