contemporaries maintained a discreet

of making "defamatory and sensa-

that We were engaged in professional

We ignored as far as possible these
gentle vituperations and pursued the
even tenor of our way, well knowing
that time would fully vindicate the
truth of everything we had said. Our
esteemed contemporaries since then
have seen a new light, Things have
become tangible" The ''prelimi-

by the death. at the age of nearly eighty,
of Count Ferdinand Iugenheim. a grand

romance which is well worthy of no

Yielded at Last.

Yielded at Last.
AS Frederick William II was a re-
markably handsome man, possessed OF
much fascination, and Countess Julia
was no longer insensible to his admira-
ton. she at length consented to yield to
his advances. but on the following condi-
lions: First, that Queen Louise-that is
TO say, the Kings lawful consort-should
give her sanction in writing; secondly.
that there should be an ecclesiastical
morganatic marriage service. and, third
ly, that the King should break off all re-
lations with Wilhelmine Rietz. and that
the latter should leave Berlin.
Queen Louise gave her written con-
sent, which is preserved in the archives
of the noble house Of Voss, declaring
that she was glad to know that the
Kings happiness would be in such excel
lent hands The Ieft-handed marriage
ceremony took place on December %,
t786, in the palace church Of Charlotten-
burg, and was performed by Court Chap
lain Zollner. after the latter had re-
ceived the consent of the Lutheran Synod,
which found a precedent in the similar
double marriage Of Philip the Magneui-
nous, which had been approved of by
both Luther and Melanchthon At the
same time the young countess was
created a countess OF Ingenheim in her
own right.
There was no conceaIment about the
matter. and Europe was treated to the
extraordinary spectacle of a Christian
King with two wives, both bound TO him
by sacred ties OF the church. the one a
queen and the other countess, and living
together in the most perfect friendship.
Indeed, the queen made a point Of al
ways singing out the countess for spe-
cial honor and distinction in public and
at court, insisted that at state banquets
she should rank Immediately next to her
self, and, in fact, demonstrated not only
regard but warm affection for the young
countess

It is an odd fact that while the cry

Double Marriages Sanctioned.

The morgauatic marriage sof King
Frederick William II with Julia Voss.
Countess Won Ingenheim. which Is
matter Of historical record. constitutes
ineontrovertibIe evidence OF the fact
often questioned and denied that NOR
ganatic-that is to say left anded-mar-
riages blessed and sanctioned by the
church may exist simultaneously with
a fuII-hedged marriage-that Is 10 say
that a royal parsonage may have =
wife who is his equal in rank and a
merganatic wife at one and the same
time without laying himself open to a
charge of bigamy. II is only fair. how
ever. to state that neither the Roman
Catholic nor yet the Orthodox Church
would tolerate double marriage Of
this kind. The only church that has
been found 10 give sanction TO them IS
the Lutheran church
It is hardly fair to cite in this con-
nection the secret marriage OF King
George " of England and Mrs. Fitz-
herbert, which was celebrated on De-
cember q, 17S5, George " being TWEEN
ty-three years old at the time For al
though the marriage was valid eccle-
siastically, il was not so in the eyes Of
the English law. and consequently there
was no legal impeachment, though there
was an ecclesiastical one. to his subse-
quent marriage during the lifetime OF
Mrs. Fitzherbert 10 Princess Caroline OF
Brunswick.
Had the marriage of George and Mrs
FftzherbeTt been valid in law. he would
have forfeited thereby his rights OF sue

act of settlement, by virtue Of which

THE GLEASON DISTRICT.
THE General Revival of Activity in
 the Mining industry.

NIT. Wm. Holmes. of Pearce. presi- dent of the Leadvillc Mining compa- ny. and formerly individual owner of the claims now belonging to the com pany has been in Bisbee for several days He reports that new life is wis ible now in all the mining camps in the Turquoise Mining district which will be further augmented when trains begin to run into Pearce. which is ex- pected in ten days or two weeks about half the track having been lais down from Cochise.
 The Leadville Mining company was recently incorporated for the purpose of developing and working eleven copper claims which Mir. Holmes has owned for the last dozen years and on which he has done more than one thousand feet of deveiopment work Two years ago he shipped a carload Of the ore to the Fl Paso smeiters which ran IS per cent copper. and there is now fully l 900 tons of ore on the various dumps which would psv tS ship But it is not the intention of the company to ship any ore. but will leave 1t for reduction in plant on the property. which will be erected as soon as the mines have been thor eughiy exploited and a thorough knowledge Is gained as to just the character of the machinery required for the treatment of the ore. The present ore would require nothing but a simple melter. but there will be no rush toward supplying this until it is thoroughly demonstrated that nothing more will be required.
 Only few men are now snploved at the mines. but the intention of the company is to have a force of fifteen or twenty men at work before the mid. dle of the present month. when a steam or gasoline hoist win be in. stalled.
 The campony is capitalized for s600,000, the shares being of s1 par value. The officers of the company are William Holmes. president: H T. Fitch, vice president; Charles NJ
