France Fears No Longer.

New York IrlDune'
 A marriage, we are told, has been "arranged" between Princess Clemen. tine. daughter of the king of the Bel gians. and Prince Victor Napoleon, son of the late "PlonPlon." Belgium is A country which France regards with peculiar interest, as one which should come to her if ever Germany annexes Holland. and, at any rate. as one with which French relations are peculiarly intimate. As for Prince Victor. he is the official Bonapartist .nretender, and Is probably by far the most formidable-perhaps it would be better to say least inslgnificant-of all existine aspirants to the French throne' For these reasons <ime was, not long ago, when such marriage as tbis would have loomed portentious unon the Gallic horizon; there would have been interpellations. protests. dinlomatic messages, ministerial orisis and visions innumerable of a man on horse back. But now? The French government simply says. in an ofShand way: Bless you. my children! Marry and be happy. France doesn't care a row about it!"

 Bess. the pretty one, just home from col lege, lounged back in an arm chair. her white hands claspeJ behind her head and her amused eyes on her elder sister. Rachel, the plain one. sat in the midst of drifts of white. busily sewing. And there was that in the sewing. or in the cloth, or in what it all meant. that had turned Rachels plainness into something akin to beauty.
 "Rachelw called a voice up the stairway. "Oh, Rachell Come down a moment and help me with this sideboard. I can't move 1t alone"
 The girl emerged, smiling. from among the snowy drifts. and ran down stairs. light of foot and of heart. She came back pres entity, washed her hands and set to work again.
 "sisterP shouted boyish voice from the gallery. Tend me another spool of that coarse thread. I've got the kite out ever so far and my cords out
 She arose again and went out; and Bess heard her talking merrily she tied the thread to the cord Danny held. When she returned and sat down at the machine, there was not ripple of impatlenee on her contented face.
 How can you stand t7" asked Bess, still more amused. T have kept time. In the last half hour you have been called away from your work eight times; and yet you come back looking so seraphic that il makes one want to shake you"
 T don't get much time to sew" Rachel answered. blushing a little. But. then, haven't many things to make. and 1t won't take so long. And they'll all miss me a good deal. must do what can for them while am here"

And here am I. not thinking of being engaged yet-and there is sly, demure you going to marry the fines, man in all the country round. Pd just like to know how you did it. Miss Rachel Brand"
 Rachel blushed more and more.
 q hardly know how it was" she said shyly. Brother John brought him over for a week. and they went hunting a good deal and was busy. of course. for mother was not very well that week and Susan went home to attend her sisters funeral-so I had the cooking to do--and Brother John is so thoughtless-he would persist in bring ing him into the kitchen. You don't know how mortified I was"
 Bess broke into e laugh

thte same time asking for subscrip- tions.
The Mayor'. Rufusal,

Mayor T. E. Welles stated to The Ad-
 vertiser man positively that he would
 not stand for reelection, thus putting
 aside many reports to the contrary.
 Rumors had it that in the event of the
 present Mayor refusing to stand for re-
 election, that George T. Morgan. thI
 present City Comptroller. would be the
 Welles faction candidate. MT. Morgan,
 when seen regarding the report, also
 stated unequivocally that he would not
 run. Mir. Morgan added, however, that,
 at the completion of his present term as
 Comptroller, he would retire for good
 from the political arena, and would
 have the satisfaction of having filled
 with credit to himself and to the citi-
 zens, the office for the past ten years.
 The refusal of Mayor Welles to stand
 for a second term, and the additional refusal of MT. Morgan to take up the fight for the mayoralty, has placed a light upon city politics that is not un- interesting. There are clearly just now two factions of Democrats in this city. but 1t Is nothing unusual, by the way. One faction Is working up the primary, while the other is doing all it can with in the bounds of reason to discourage the idea of a primary. The primary advocates have placed Hon. Frank Reilly one of the Aldermen at present at the head of the city ticket, while the other faction has done nothing in | this respect except to have a number of meetings and discuss in secret their plans. Just what these plans are, or what they will amount to even when given out, is, of course, oonjectural purely, but it Is hinted that a very prominent citizen, whose name Is re- fused, will be placed in the field against Mir Reilly. Those who are known to he behind the movement are of the oninion that the candidacy of their man will do a lot toward cementing the ex- isting differences, and that the anti primary candidate will win out with hands down." as one of them expressed
