~ approved Of by her subjects. These
are greatly pleased at a young girl
whom they regard as essentially an
English princess marrying a reigning
monarch.
There is. too, in the story Of Prin.
cess Ena's courtship something OF the
element Of the old, old story of Gin
derella, which appeals strongly to the
peoples sentimentality. When the
late Queen Victoria sanctioned the
marriage of her daughter Beatrice to
Prince Henry Of Battenberg 1t was a
great shock to both the British and
European courts The latter would
never receive or recognize Prince
Henry as anything like the equal of
his royal bride. Prince Henry, Prin-
cess Beatrice and their children al
ways remained with the queen at
Windsor or Osborn. The children led
the simplest OF lives in domestic at
mosphere of family affection. The
bright, popular, pretty Ena was never
bridesmaid at the weddings of her
royal cousins in Europe, but was at
the Wedding of Princess Margaret of
Connaught and the crown prince OF
Sweden.
The approval OF the Spanish mar
riage by the English court is not
shared by the members of European
courts, who disapprove more of Bat
tenberg than OF Protestant. But If
the naughty Spaniards can approve of
the marriage the others may be ig-
nored.
1t is a well meaning custom to de-
scribe all royal matches as inspired by
love. This one really appears to be so.
1t has been suggested, probably with
reason, that King Alfonso, who him
self is of a bright, energetic DISPOSE
ton and who has been strictly
brought up amid the restraint and
solemnity which are Characteristic OF
all that surrounds the Spanish throne.
felt all the more drawn toward the
young princess by reason of her I'M
affected simplicity, girlish spirits and
lightheayt ted disposition.
AS an example OF Princess Ena's
sense OF fun, and 1t must be remem-
bered that this is sense to which
royalties cannot give much vent on
formal occasions. story is told of an
incident of her eoming-out ball at
Kensington palace last May. One
guest, very shy young man. having
been presented to the young princess.
asked in a highly formal manner,
which was more suggestive of duty
being performed rather than pleas
ure, whether she would honor him
with dance. Ena replied with a
twinkle in her eyes 'Oh, certainly, If
you are quite sure you cont mind"

tWho VIII Be Promoted to Rank of Ma
ior Generally
of a great name traditional interest
always has attached to his career, this
feeling being especially strong among
the diplomats. who remember Presi-
dent Grants famous tour of the world.
Although West Pointer, General
Grant has not devoted his entire life
to the service. After leaving the
academy, he saw active cavalry work
in the west, and in 1881 resigned, with
the rank of colonel.
Mckinley called Grant into the army
at the outbreak of the Spanish-Ameri-
can war in 1898. He was given the
rank of brigadier general of volun-
teers, and this grade was confirmed in
the regular establishment in 1901. Since
then General Grant has had charge of
various important army departments.
head of the department of the lakes,
this appointment proving especially
congenial to him. as hts wife is a sis
ter of Mrs. Potter Palmer. His work
in New York also has proved pleas
ant one, as his daughter, Princess Can
tacuzene, has visited him, accompa-
MED by her little son and daughter.
The decision Of the president to ap-
point General Grant indicates strong
Inclination on his part TO be absolute
ly fair with this distinguished soldier
and son of a soldier. II was thought
that the appointment of General
Franklin ]. Bell as chief of stan and
major general would work an appar-
ent hardship on General Grant, who Is
admit that this is SO, but say that the
seniority is more academic than real,
because General Grant was commits
stoned a brigadier on February IS,
1891, and General Bell received his
commission the day following. Both
General Bell and General Grant will
have long terms of service as major
general, since the latter viii not retire
for age until May 80, 1914. and General
Bell will not retire until January g.,
1920.
Friends of General Grant in the
service are still hopeful that il Presi-
dent Roosevelt can not be induced to
appoint General Grant chief of stan
during his administration succeeding
president may do SO. His qualities as
a soldier and as a man commend him
for the place. One of them expressed
the opinion of some of General Grants
friends when he said: General Grant
Is in a peculiar position of not having
to overcome obscure parentage, but.
on the contrary, must try TO make
people forget his illustrious parent
age. He has given excellent service,
and every one recognizes his ability,
but there is too much of disposition
to dismiss whatever he does with the
assertion that he Is but the son of
his father"

General Grant is the eldest son OF
the late General Ulysses S. Grant, the
hero of the civil war. During the Span.
ish war he fought in Porto Rico, and
later distinguished himself In the Phil
ippines. He has been minister to Aus
tria and more recently held the posi-
ton of police commissioner of New
York. General Grant was born at st
Louis in 1850. was graduated from
West Point in 1871, and for a time was
lieutenant colonel of the Fourth cav
airy, u. s. A. He was only 81 years
old when his father took him to the
front, and he was close to him during
the whole of the vicksburg campaign
