DUTCH QUEEN MARRIED.
Bride Of Duk. Henry, Who Was Made
Prince preacher Gave Them
Good Advice.

The Hague, Feb. 8.--Queen VIII
helminas marriage to Duke Henry o;
Mecklenburk -Schwerln. who becamo
Prince Heinrich OF the Netherlands,
was hinge family afrair: Many ger-
sons came To The Hague TO parrici-
pate Offers who stayed at tltssr
homes In other cities and villages Of
the kingdom celebrated with p.irades
decorations and banquels.
Never was seen Il more beautiful
and happy wedding. The popular he
lief is that il IS a love match, Ike
thai Of Victoria and AIbeft and this
gives romantic eoloring TO he
event.
The ceremonies were the same sim
pie and unritmlistie rites of the Re-
formed church by which the hum
blest OF Queen Wilhelmina's subjects
are married The whole sp.rt of the
affair was plain and democratic, al
though the costly gowns and jewels
and the SNOWY uniforms Of distin-
guished persenages, high officials of
the kingdom. the army ard the navy,
and Representatives of the people IN
parliament and the municipalities,
furnished regal stage setting. The
venerable pastor administered to the
bride and groom a caution that their
high positions would not shield them
from the common sufferings and sor-
rows of humanity.
Queen Wilhelmina blushed and be-
came confused over the ceremonial
with the ring, while her happiness
and pride over the enthusiasm of her
people were plainly deeper than a
mere matter of form.
Prince Heinrich was an awkward,
but stalwart and manly figure.
Either he was forgetful or badly
trained in the part, for the pastor
had to give him two or three hints
as to how to carry himself. Those
sitting near enough to hear the re-
sponses describe him as saying:
"Jah, mein Herr" when he should
simply have replied, "Jah."
The scene. as the royal couple stood
with clasped hands before the chap
lain. in a circle of brilliantly arrayed
personages. including relatives and
people composing certain families of
Holland and neighboring German
prineipalities, was wonderfully gor-
geous, the masses of variegated col,
oring rendering more effective the

QUEENS NEVER CROWNED. Seven of Them In England Who
 Lacked That Ceremony.

In looking forward to the coronation of King Edward we all feel how much of grace and beauty and interest the pres ence of Queen Alexandra will lend to the splendors of the scene, and as rule most English queens have been solemnly crowned, whether they reigned in their own right or as wives of royal husbands To this rule, however, there are seven ex- ceptions, writes Eleanor F. Colby in the London Queen. The first was Margaret of France. the young, plafn, amiable second wife of Edward I. He had spent so much money in conquering Wales and trying to conquer Scotland that he could not afford the expense of coronation for his girl bride and she had to do without the splendors of the pageant.
 King Henry VIII. took care that Anne Boleyn should be crowned with extreme magnificence. He desired to show the world how much he loved her and how very much he defied the bishop of Rome. The four wives who succeeded her were never crowned at all. For one thing, money ran short, and for another, there may have lurked. even in his masterful mind, a sense of the fitness of things which may have caused him to shrink from publicly crowning so many ladies in such very rapid succession. At any rate the beloved Jane Seymour, the desnised Anne of Gloves. the girliah

cermany wiII Send Ultimatum.

Berlin, December 24-The announce ment that Germany had sent an ultima tum to Venezuela has been conspicuously printed in the press here. Those newspa- pers maintaining the clostest relations with the government affirm that this news is premature. While an ultimatum has not yet been delivered to Venezuela, they say this step will soon be taken unless Venezuela yields to what are deemed the reasonable demands of Germany.
 The leading ultra-Montane organ, the Cologne Volks Zeitung. in an extensive article on Germany's attitude toward the Monroe doctrine, assert that the assur- ances of Dr. Won Holleben, the German ambassador to the United States with re- gard to the Venezuelan matter, indicate Germany's recognition of the Monroe doc Urine in a more absolute manner than has heretofore been done. This paper says Germany bows to the Monroe doc Urine, and alludes to the expression of the late Prince Bismarck that the Mon- roe doctrine was "a piece of impudence." This utterance of the German statesman, which Is doubtless authentic, has just been published for the first time by the Hamburger Nachrichten, Bismarck's household organ. Nevertheless the Co., logne volks Zeitung admits that "the i'm pudence of the United States" Is suc- ceeding brilliantly and that Europe is all ready accustoming itself to the idea of the tutelage of the United States in South America.
 The Cologne Volks Zeitung concludes by saying:
 Must Germany really ask Washing tons permission to collect 5000 900 marks from Venezuela? Must we stand all sorts of warnings and concealed threats?'

HIS HAND WAS IN
 MOTHERS POCKET
JAMES DOZEN ARRESTED FOR PICKING POCKETS IN KRESS'S sToRE-HAD TICKET FROM AT. LANTA-ANoTHER ESCAPED.

James Dobbin. a white man, was arrest ed yesterday afternoon in Kress store on suspicion of being pickpocked. War rants charging him with that will be sworn out against him tomorrow by Mir Jasper Battlefield and Ed Mitchell, two men who claim to have caught him with his hands in their pockets.
 Dobbin Is said to have been working the Kress store all day. but he was not caught until about o'clock when Po- licemen Dickens and Phillips took him on complaint of the store managers.
 When searched the man had over $1O0 in bills and a scalper's ticket from Att lanta to Birmingham and return He said last night that there were several other long-f1ngered gentlemen working the town.
 Yesterday a number of people were re- lieved of their pocketbooks in the Kress store and another pickpocket was de- tected but managed to escape, lodging through the crowd. The two are believed to have spent the day in this store and one other in town, and according to the number of pocketbooks lost they must have made a rich haul.
