Eloped With an Artist.
The list of royalties who married
commoners is more extensive than one
would readily suppose. There is the
Princess Elvira of Spain, q beautiful
girl, who eloped with the artist Tolchi
not so very long ago; there is the
Archduke Henry, one of the heirs to
the Austrian throne, who married an
actress and was banished, but sebse-
qeuntly recalled and restored to rank,
and his wife became so popular that
she was created Baroness Weideck.
Another is that of Prince Ludwig of
Bavaria, who made two such mar
riages. In 1859 he became united to
Fraulein Mendel, an actress, and lived
with her happily until her death, after
which, in 1891, he married Fraulein
by Fraulein Mendel married Count La
risch, but becoming astranged from
him, secured divorce and married
Herr Brucks, German opera singer.
Princess Elizabeth, granddaughter OF
the Emperor of Austria, eloped with
Lieut.. Siedfried Buttenheim to Genoa
where they were married, and Princess
Sybella of Hesse-Cassel eloped with
Herr Won Funcke, for which she suf-
fered the loss of all her rights in
Hesse-Cassel. The mother of the dow.
ager queen Margharita of Italy eloped
with a young artillery officer and
married him. She was banished for
ten years from Italy, but the marriage
was SO unhappy that the young officer
killed himself as a result of his mari.

Elopement Spoiled by Lovers Flight
/ One royal affair that is interesting
to recount, though it did not reach tho
altar, through the perfidy of the lover
was that of the Grand Duchess Olga
of Russia, sister of the present czar
with Lieutenant Bariatinski, a poor
but handsome officer in the army. The
grand duchess was deeply in love, and
an elopement had been planned, when
the lieutenant suffered from bad at
tack of fright and revealed the whole
plan to the car. The princess was
promptly compelled to marry Prince
Charles of Wurtemburg, and the young
lieutenant gained such place in royal
favor that he became field mar
shall before he had attained the age
of so.

Afternoon Program.

! Instrumental numbers predominant
ed in the afternoon program and many
gems were heard by the large audi

bers were heard, however, and these
were of a very high character. The
vccalists were Miss Nellie Elizabeth
Robertson, of Muscatine, who sang
then for the first time during the CON
vention, Mrs. D. j. Norton, Jr., Wash
ington, and Marc Lagen, of Dubuque,
always favorite with an Ottumwa au-
dience. The instrumental numbers
were of high class and reflected
great credit upon the performers.

Miss Robertson's Appearances.

d
Miss Robertson's Appearance.
Miss Robertson's appearncea was
hailed with delight by the many artists
who had heard her sing at various con-
ventions of the society. She achieved
brilliant success and the Ottumwa
music lovers joined with the visitors
in applauding the well executed rendi-
tons Miss Robertson sang 20 Dry
Those Tears" by Riega; "Jerusha," by
Gaynor, and Sweet Genevieye," by
Tucker.
Her voice is rich contralto of vi
brant tones and remarkably wide
range. A characteristic of her selec-
tions was that they were written for a
soprano voice and sung an octave low
er, difficult feat and one that taxes
the contralto voice to the utmost, yet
Miss Robertson never faltered.
Mr.. Lagen.
Mr.. Lagen sang "The Sorrows Of
DEATH from Mendelssohn's Hymns
of Praise" This beautiful aria is of
a quality to amply test tenor's voice
and the singer was more than equal
to the occasion. Mr. Lagen's high
notes rang out loud and clear and he
sang with most artistic effect.
Mr.. Heighton's Renditions.
The cello numbers by W. H. Height
on of Des Moines were among the best
heard during the afternoon. Mr..
leighton played Nevada's "Slavonic
1 Cradle Song and followed with a
"Tarantella," by Trembath. He handles
his instrument in a masterful manner

1 ers.
