CHOOSES A HUSBAND.
Wilhelmina Selects Duke Henry of
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
Announcement of the Royal BE-
trothal Cheered by the Members
of The Netherland s Parliament
cabinet Opposed Match.

The announcement of the betrothal
of Queen Wilhelmina to Duke Henry
of Mecklenburg-Schw in the sec
ond chamber of The Netherlands par
lament the other day was greeted
with cheers. The house charged the
president to transmit to the queen its
congratulations and thanks for com
municating the glad event, which was
of the highest Importance to the
dynasty and country.
The announcement has been sym
pathetically received by the whole
German press, although nearly all the
papers point out that the event is de-
void of political significance. Atten-
ton. however. is called to the fact
that her choice cannot fail to
strengthen the ties of friendship be-
tween the two countries. Mention is
made of the close relations of Ian
guage. race and literature and of the
fact that the queens mother was born
in Germany.
Ii is learned from reliable source
that her choice is her own and against

desired her to wait for another year
or two until her judgment was more
mature. She took the matter into
her own hands. When she visited
Potsdam year ago everybody ex-
pected that her choice would be
Prince Joachim Albrecht of Prussia,
who paid court to her assiduously and
rescued her and the queen mother
from a serious accident while they
were driving in the Sans Souci park.
At that time she seemed to be seri-
ously sInitten, the prince being tall,
good looking and amiable; but it is
understood that she yielded to the
strong objections of the Dutch cab
met who urged that an alliance with
Prussian prince might bring polit-
zeal entanglements.
The young duke is in habits and
manner typical German officer. He
has Travelled to India and North Cape.
Recently he has been much in evil
dence in Berlin and Potsdam and in
court. military and diplomatic socie-
ETY.. where he is appreciated as an
indefatigible dancer. He is also fine
equestrian. His brother, Duke Adolf
Friedrich, is a noted steeplechaser.

that ST Patrick met here the two

wondered Mt the sight of the venerable
stranger SURROUNDED by his monks. and
they questioned him eagerly as to who
he was and whence he came and what
king he served.

lofty message he bore. the grace of
God touched the hearts of the maidens
so that they believed and We're baptiZ-
