and after being educated at French
military schools he began to publish a
royalist newspaper in Paris, which
caused his speedy expulsion from the
republic.
He had fortune of his own, and i'm
agined that he was destined to con-
quer worlds and rule all the con-
Quered. Leaving France by govern
mental invitation he was shipwrecked
on Trinidad and conceived the king
dom he was afterward to establish for
minute or two. The next year he
married Anna Flagler in the United
States, but marriage, instead Of quiet
ing his restless spirit, seemed only to
incite his romantic disposition. The
Odysseys he performed were as start
ling as that of Macmillan to Mexico,
which was then fresh in the minds of
the world, and without any manner of
excuse excepting his own perverse de-
sire.s He roved over the world, and al
ways encountered adventures that had
no place in the life of a nineteenth Gen.
tury citizen. He should have lived in
the days of the three musqueteers or
earlier in the crusading times to have
been entirely at home with his period.
Harden-Hickey's End.
1t was in 1894 that he set out in a
yacht with his wife. They were
wrecked off Trinidad, and the baron
set up the government he had planned
six years before At least he began
along those lines, and got as far as
taking the title of James l. for himself
and awarding that of Queen Anna to
his wife. His rule was so short-lived
that he did not even have opportunity
to>get his extpavagant plans out of his
head even onto paper. The big island
OF the Venezuelan coast was discov-
erred by Columbus On his third voyage,
md for a century before King James
unclaimed himself had belonged to
.gland. At the time it had British
gK5ernor and 100000 inhabitants. King
pnes, therefore, speedily encountered
I ehn Bull, and as quickly rs the ex-
changes of the information regarding
mis- usurpation could be made the
london government dispatched
cruiser to deal with this brand-new
problem of colonial control.
! King James and Queen Anna, al the
time constituting all the royal govern
,ment, were exported to Key West, and
the king died as king for want of .
lplace to rule.
Hickey finally shot himself,
and the baroness brooded over his
death until she became insane and
last summer was committed to a Con-
necticut asylum.

The relations of king and beauty
were for many years a scandal, but

along with it. She who was known
in the Louisiana metropolis as Miss
Marguerite Alice Heine not only pos
sesses the distinction of being the only
person of New World birth who has
shared a genuine realm with ruler,
but also is the only Jewess ever legiti-
mately married to a reigning Christian
prince. Her marriage to Prince Albert
Of Monaco was not morganatic. For
13 years she was a real, not titular,
princess.
Her father was a cousin Of Heinrich
Heine, the great German lyric poet,
and her own cousin married a nephew
of Napoleon Ills finance minister.
She herself, as most of her family, is
not of the Jewish faith. AS Miss Heine,
daughter of the New Orleans banker,
who, after making his money there, re-
tired to Paris to live, she married Ar
mande Due de Richelieu, who died.
Prince Albert of Monaco, the present
prince, who is best known for his work
as photographer, had been married
to Lady Mary Hamilton, but she had
secured a divorce. On October 81,
1889, at Paris, he married the widowed
Duchess de Richelieu and the famous
old Grimaldi palace at Monte Carlo
was the scene of great festivities when
he brought his bride home The whole
four square miles and half Of the
principally were bedecked with Vene-
tian masts and triumphal arches and a
cantata was performed in the cathedral
in her honor Such was the reception
of the bride. In 1902 she secured a
judicial separation from the prince and
still enjoys her freedom. The son of
Prince Albert, who is his heir, is not
her son, but the offspring of Lady
Mary Hamilton, now the wife of Count
Tassilo Festetics of Hungary.

the other hand, shameless European

monarchs have been many. The story
is now forty or fifty years old. Mario
Musard, Frenchman of Belgium, was
the leader Of an orchestra in Paris in
the heyday Of his career. He made a
flying trip to this country and took
back with him a wife, who was a ma
tive of a small Ohio town and was
named Eliza Parker. He himself was
at best an adventurer and she his
willing assistant While he was en-
gagged in a professional capacity at
Baden-Baden he succeeded in throwing
his wide-awake, ambitious and pretty
wife in the way of the austere William

coast signal service. He was born in
New York October 81, 1868. After
graduating from Columbia university
law school he was admitted to the bar
in 1885. In 1886 he was private secre-
tary to United States Senator William
NJ Evarts.
Mr.. Satterlee has been interested in
the New York naval militia for long
time and from 1891 until 1895 he was
navigator of the first naval battalion.
In 1896 he was colonel and aid de

He is president of the Naval Re-

xxy Wy w RITING in the Phila-

Va va ger "A Veteran Dip
va wv lomat' has this to
v v say of American
born women who
have shared royal thrones:
The American woman has gone
everywhere and become everything by
marriage. There is not a nobility in
the world, excepting Chinas, but that
has its American woman in it. But
royal families have been of necessity
more exclusive when wives are to be
chosen for their scions and royalty has
generally evinced little prediction for
those outside of equally exalted FAM
lilies, even in Europe On the CONT
nent, in fact, it is practically true that
only those sheep blackened, or at least
sunburned, by the fierce light that
beats upon throne have married non
royal persons. Those who have made
morganatic but perfectly honorable
marriages, like Grand Duke Michael of
Russia, are very rare.
Yet there are now living a countess,
widow of a king whose love for the
Boston girl changed the course of nine
teenth century history; an American
princess who actually shared throne
or at least palace-is still alive;
and another, New Yorker born, is
aunt by marriage of the German en-
press. Prince Leopold of Lippe-Bies-
terfeld, who died a few months ago,
nearly lost his principality Of Lippe-
Detmold because his grandmother was
Philadelphia. Feminine citizens of
the United States have reached the
dubious positions of unofficial consort
of a king of Holland, wife of throne
less BCnaparte who had to give up his
American spouse to enter royal ranks;
and it was daughter of John H. Flag
Ter of New York who was wife Of the
first and only king" of Trinidad, the
self-styled James l. of the island.
A Remarkable List.
This is remarkable list when the
conditions and barriers to be burned
or pushed away are kept in mind The
mere fact that every royal family is
subject TO its own laws by which mes
alliances are viewed in as serious a
light as are criminal acts under the
laws of the non-royal is only the
smallest obstacle to be overcome. In
most European countries the Salic
law prohibiting the inheritance of the
throne in the female line is recognized,
and accordingly there is less super
vision of the love affairs of princess
than of a prince and corresponding
care in selecting wives for the latter.
