great fur overcoat for the first time on his trip
as he reached Milwaukee

David S Rose. received the President and his

dl;essed. by the President.

| turned to the city. stopping at the Exposition
Building, where the President was formally wei
coined by Mayor Rose. Ten thousand people
had crowded into the building. The President
responded 10 the Mayors welcome in brief
speech Many people Of many nationalities were
present he said, but they came together as
Americans, and as nothing else. we Will beset
this country" he said. IF we draw lines of
distinction between class and class or creed and
creed. along any other lines save that which
divides good citizenship from bad citizenship
II is bad thing for public man not to per
form what he promises. Every promise made
in public life should be held as binding on every
4ioIiCot man pAoiIllSe UdQe IN lie.
The people however. must remember that they
themselves viii be to blame if they ask for
promises which. from the nature Of things. can
not be kept"

IN WISCONSIN,S CAPITAL
The President 1ddresScs the Mem
bers of the Legislature.

Madison. Wis. April 3.-President Roosevelt
and his party arrived here at O'Clock TINS
morning. but it was o'clock before Governor
La Toilette and Mayor Groves. at the head of
members of the legislature, were received The
President was escorted to the Capitol through
cheering crowds by the militia, including
the University of Wisconsin regiment In the
Assembly chamber he addressed the two houses
in joint session and seven hundred specially in
vited g1lests. AS the President entered the AS
sembly chamber. escorted by Governor La Fol-
lette. he was greeted with enthusiastic cheers
Lieutenant Governor Davidson introduced him.
AS the President rose to speak he was greeted
with a tumult of applause and the university
yell.
The President said it good idea for stu
dents to be brought into close touch with gov
ernment affairs. Universities must do more
than turn out schoIars-they must turn out men
and women. He liked athletic work in colleges.
but athletics must not interfere with the de-
velopment of the mental faculties. 1t was a
good thing to be good halfback. but it was
mighty bad thing if at forty all you can say
of a man is that he was good halfback He
spoke of the qualities necessary to good cit-
zensbp. and said the qualities were
needed now to work out salvation in peace as
were needed to work out salvation through
war.
The President spoke for about hfteen min
utes. and then, accompanied by the Governor.
visited the Grand Army of the Republic Me
mortal Hall in the Capitol. and inspected the
war relics. including & large collection of Union
and Confederate flags and the stuffed body of
'Old Abe" the famous eagle. He was then
escorted to a stand at the east entrance, where,
in the face of a raw east wind, he addressed the
crowd which packed the grounds. He said he
was glad to visit Wisconsin. because here the
people had put into practice 10 a peculiar de-
gree the principle Of Ali up rather than
some men down" Continuing he said:
We are passing through a period of great
teriaI prosperity. There will be ups and downs
in that prosperity, but in the long the time
will go on if but prove true to ourselves and
TO the beliefs of our forefathers. To win, we
must be able to combine in proper degree the
spirit of individualism and the spirit of CO.
operation Each man must work for himself.
If he cannot support himself he will be but a
drag on all mankind: but each man must work
for the common good. There Is not a man here
who does not at times need to have a helping
hand extended TO him. and shame on the brother
who will not extend that helping hand.
At the close of his speech the President was
taken to the executive offices. where for twenty
minutes he held a reception for members Of the
legislature and State officers. At 1915 o'clock,
with the same escort of soldiers and officials,
the President returned to the special train,
which started for Milwaukee at II o'clock.

constitutes Of the most romantic pages of
the contemporary history of Europe.
Born in 1893 at Florence. Queen Natalie is the
daughter Of the exceedingly wealthy Colonel De
Ketchko. an officer OF the Russian cOmmissary
department, who died a few years ago Her
mother, from whom she inherits her magnificent
and somewhat Youptuous style of beauty, was
member Of the Rumanian family of Stourdza,
while her grandmother the paternal side was
a daughter of the Bojar Constantine Balsic
name which. of noble French origin. is glori-
ously associated with the history of the old Ser
yian Empire FIVE and six centuries ago.
Queen Natalie spent most of her childhood at
Florence where she attended one of the schools.
a number of American girls being among her
classmates. On completing her education she
lived some time on her fathers estates, In
Southern Russia and at St Petersburg. where
she. however did not figure among what
Thackeray describes as the "hupper succles," for
her father. although very wealthy, occupied
relatively subaltern position in society and her
mothers title and lineage carried but little
weight in the Russian capital princesseS, espe-
cially those of the Stourdza family, being as
plentiful mere peasants. and only rarely as
respectable-in Rumania and Bessarabia-
Natalie was affanced to Colonel Constantine
yics. of the Servian army. when. a few days
prior TO the date set for the wedding, she made
the acquaintance Of his cousin. Prince Milan.
who was TO be the principal guest at the cere-
rnony The latter never took place, for Milan'
infatuated by Natalies beauty and eager for
her fortune at once proceeded to play his Gus
tonary role Of false friend by supplanting his
cousin IN her affection. and few weeks later
Natalie became by her marriage to Milan nrst
the sovereign princess and then the Queen or
servia- The union was unhappy one from
New-York tribune., 1903-07-05

the very outset, owing to the discovery made by
Milan after the wedding that his wife's fortune
was completely tied up and well protected
that he could not even touch it, Moreover, her
high spirit and strong temper did not tend to
improve matters, and even before the birth Of
their only the stories of their differences be
came the talk of every court in Europe.
So much has been published on both sides OF
the Atlantic during the last few weeks concern
ing Servian royalty that it would be superfuous
to make here more than a passing reference to
the gross indignities by means of which Milan
compelled Natalie to quit Servia; to the manner
In which her only boy, at the time eight years
of age. was forcibly torn from her side by the
police at Wesbaden; to the way in which this
very son. the apple of her eye, turned against
her when King and banished her from his king
dom because she had disapproved Of his mar
riage, and finally, to the manner in which she
learned at Versailles of his terrible death. To-
day she is like eX-Empress Eugene woman
without a country nationality, who has lost
both husband and only son.
Still less is it necessary to give here the rec
ord of Queen Draga- 1t is not savory one,
and. save for the few years she spent under the
roof of Queen Natalie as her lady-in-wating,
until dismissed in disgrace and for the time
that she was the legal consort of King Alex
ander Of Servia, it can scarcely be described as
reputable. That her marriage to the last of the
Obrenowitches brought her happiness it is diff
cult to believe, for she from the very outset
subjected to the most cruel affronts. not only by
the foreign courts. but by her own people. who
did not hesitate to give expression to their re-
sentiment that a woman of her questionable
antecedents should occupy a seat on the throne

herself were in constant danger Of the tragic
fate which ultimately overlook them. and it is

CHANGED HIS TUNE.

A mother and baby entered a closed Broadway
car at Fourteenth-st. and straightway the little
one began to cry.
The men in the car-and nearly all the passen-
gers were men-pulled their papers up closer t(
their faces and tried to shut out the noise.
The baby cried the more.
AS the car pulled UP with jerk to avoid run-
ming into bIockaded truck at the Grace Church
corner, the chimes began to ring. The first few
notes gave no cIew of the selection.
Suddenly the baby ceased crying and crowed
Then it came to the passengers that the
chimes were ringing out the Wedding March
from "Lohengrin."
The baby crowed again.
One by one the papers dropped disclosing
smiling faces. The motOrman had grin, the
conductor chuckled and the baby kept crow
ing.
The bridal procession crept out of the church.
The blockade Strengthened itself out. With i
clang Of bell the car started on toward the Bat

the rule. Musical comedies and vaudeville

is essentially a period of "shOw girls" The roof

'The RunaWays' at the Casino has proved
great success and promises to run all summer
1t is being changed constantly. New material is
being added, and everything possible done to
brighten it UP. "The six widows" continue to
prove one Of the chief attractions.
