Then, much ado was made about
the fortune Of the princess, who in,
her own right, has more wealth than

It was mainly because of the faint
on the fortune that King Edward tried
to dissuade King George Of Greece

his mighty career a British prisoner.
The Princess Marie and Prince
George are said to have met in Rome.
She is an ardent lover of the arts, and

George the affections OF Princess
Marie had been centered on her faith

He is the son Of Prince Pierre, and

lacking the Princess Marie because of
her descent on the maternal side from
the gambler, who, expelled from Ger
many, founded Monte Carlo. They
also reviewed an old scandal that the
wife of Prince Pierre, the father of
Prince Roland, Marie's father, was
Justine Ruflin, wife of journeyman
plumber, whose marriage to Prince
. Pierre had always been disputed dur
ing her. life. ~. -
They pointed out that the name of
the alleged wife of Prince Pierre was
excluded from the Almanac de Gotha,
while she lived, and that during the
same period Prince Pierre was enter
ed as bachelor. Thus they tried to
prove that Prince Roland and his
daughter were only by courtesy en-
titled to the great name they bore.
Neither the prince nor his daughter
made any reply, and one day the Eau
bourg was astonished to hear that
Marie had thrown over her distin-
guished sutton, Prince Tredern. Then
it developed that she had learned that
in advance of the marriage he was
spending her fortune, and had already
pledged much of it.
This demonstration that she was be-
ing married alone for her wealth so
angered the princess that she cast
aside the darling Of the Faubourg,
and gave an exhibition Of true wo-
mans pride and spirit that silenced
her critics ~ -
All that could be adduced Of this
kind of gossip was used to dissuade
Prince George from marrying Marie,
but he had the courage of his convic-
tions.
The world is indeed progressing
when even kings and statesmen can
not make princes marry as they wish.

and you will hear her say that she is
too particular to do this or that.

DEFIES THREE KINGS TO
WE'D WOMAN OF CHOICE
Prince George Of Greece Will Marry Marie Bonaparte,
Richest Princess Of Europe.

The stored romances Of days Of
old when knighthood lowered, and
love overcame all obstacles to win it's
desires, are paralleled in the happy
termination Of the loves Of Princess
Letitia Marie Bonaparte, descendant
of the mighty Corsican, and Prince
George Of Greece. @#
The pair are to be welded in the
near future, and fifteen millions that
are the dover of saathe young woman,
will put them far beyond the danger
Of any financial retaliation on the
part Of those who have been so OBJ
stinately opposing the match.
Seldom indeed has any couple been
compelled to overcome opposition at
determined as confronted this pair
| when first their romance led them
into the dream of becoming husband
and wife.
Three kings of Europe put them
selves on record as bitterly opposing
the match. y.
King Edward Of England, because of
family ties, entered his protest; King
Victor Emmanuel Of Italy suppressed
on his ministers to go to the very linn
it of their, powers to thwart the.
couple, and finally King George Of
Greece, father of the Romeo in this
twentieth century romance, expostu-
lated vigorously with his son.
None Of these kingly foes of Cupid
could urge anything which in the.
United States would be thought suf-
ficient reason for excluding the young
lady from marriage with royalty
True, her mother, the Princess Ell
eanor, who died at the child's birth,
twenty five years ago, was of plebian
origin, but to make up for that, on her
fathers side she comes direct from
the stock of the man who a century
was master of the continent, and
made and unmade kings at will.

Perhaps the only present singer of
repute who was a foremost prima
donna at twenty-five is Madame
Nordica, who as Lillian Norton sang at
that age at the Grand opera house,
Paris. She was slip of girl like
Miss Abbott, had no greater volume of

Therefore it is not out of question
that the Abbott girl may go to the ex-
traordinary triumphs of Nordica.

PRIMA DONNA is A
"TRILBY' IN REAL LIFE
Bessie Abbott of Metropolitan Opera Can Only Sing
Under Sisters Influence.

When Du Maurier's "Trilby" first
made it's phenomenal success, it start.
ed a furore Of controversy over the
credibility Of the situation that made
the heroine great singer merely be-
cause she was under the influence of
the hypnotist, SvengaI
Musicians, experts on hypnosis and
specialists in half dozen lines, took
part In the controversy, which had not
been settled up to the time Of the au-
thoT,s death, in fact it Is still in-p prog
ress.
But now comes a development that
proves Du Maurier to have strained
no laws of probability in his fascinat-
ing tale.
There are Trilbys in real life
One Of them has just been found.
1t is no ordinary singer who con-
cedes that only through the support
Ing power Of anothers mind is she
able to get the full beauty out of her
voice. ..I
This vocalist is one of the worlds

one of the most famous prima donnas
that Herr Conried has for his Metro.
politan opera house.
The psychic bond between Bessie
Abbott and her sister, Jessie Abbott,
accounts for the formers success in
grand opera.
But for the mental support and
help Of my sister Jessie I would GER
tainly fail dismally," she herself told
a reporter recently II depend on her
absolutely Were she not in the house
could not find my voice for note.
If she ever marries Or quits me I shall
have to give up my career"
This statement Of the case shows a
control hardly less complete than
Svengali exercised over his barefooted
model.
Jessie and Bessie have been insep-
arables always, and it was mainly the
influence of Jessie that pushed Bessie
forward to demanding what was the
rightful reward of her unusual voice.
When the American girl went to
Europe to experience the hardships,
privations, jealousies and disappoint-
ments Of the students life Jessie was
with her helping to smooth the way
and ease the strain of the battle.
When the victory was won, and the
young singer had demonstrated her
right to trial at the smaller opera
houses on the continent, the invisible
support of the older sister still helped
the young prima donna. When the &C.
casion approached for the much-feared
debut in the Grand Opera house, Jes-
sic, had seat in the front row, and
followed every note, exerting, as Bes-
sic says, an influence that helped her
in the hard passages, and made her
surpass herself.
This same sympathy helped her
through the ordeal of a first appear
ance in London, and, worse still, her
debut in the huge Metropolitan opera
house.
It was part of the contract that Bes-
sic Abbott made with Herr Conried
that for every performance in which,
she took part her sister was to have
seat close to the stage where the
singer could have her in view all the
time.
The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1907-10-19

And when honors came, and there
was applause for the young prima
donna, she ever insisted that her sue
cess was half her sisters.
Few prima donnas have been able to
achieve the success that has been
Miss Abbott's. She is only twenty-five
years old, and her voice has by no
means attained to its full power. Not
for five years yet will she have the full
chest required to house the great
voices OF the queens of song who
would fill the vast auditoriums of New
York, London and Paris.
Miss Abbott has been permitted to
sing Juliet, Marguerite, Mimi and
Michaela with the foremost tenors of
the world, but she is not content, the

BOUND OVER FOR
 THEFT OF CLOTHES
Packed Up Some One Else's Garments Ostenslbly to Send to the
 Pressing Club.

G. J. Mcdonald was yesterday tried in Judge Feagins court and bound over to the criminal court under bond of $500 on the charge of the theft of clothing from F. B. Teague. The police claim that Mcdonald has been working his scheme for some time.
 McDonalds capture was the result of the failure of his last scheme to make easy money in the clothing business. He had an accomplice named Lane. who secured board at a boarding house on Fifth avenue and appeared to be all right Mcdonald showed up there a few days ago in the guise of a representative of a pressing club and Lane said he needed some clothes pressed. When he packed up suitcase full and sent it off by Mcdonald, however he made peculiar mistake and packed up in this suitcase about s75 worth of Teagues clothes.
 Lane soon after left the house and meet ing Mcdonald got the suitcase and checked 1t at the Florence hotel. Sus- picion was aroused at the boarding house soon after Lanes departure and the po- lice were notified. Mcdonald was cap- tured but Lane got scent of trouble and skipped out with the suitcase and the clothes while his partner went to jail.
