Query.-Please tell me under what
law a widow should apply for pension
She married soldier of the civil war
in 1898 and lived with him up to the
time of his death. She has three chill
dren under the age of IA years
George T. s.
Answer-The widow referred to
should make application for widows
pension under the general law, pro.
vided she can show that her. soldier
husband died from disability due to
service and line of duty. She has no
title to pension under the act of April
10, 1908, for the reason that her mar
riage to said soldier occurred subse-
quent to June 27, 1890. If the soldiers
death was not due to service, the wild.
ow would not be entitled to pension
under the general law; but the SOL
dier's minor children would be entitled
to pension under the act of June 81,
1890, from the date of filing applica-
tion under said act until they several
ly attain the age of 16 years.

unenviable reputation even then.
While New Yorks curiosity was
piqued to see him, the town was not
ambitious to behold his activity Wit

we have masked balls here, there will

Queen OF trinidad.
There is opera bouffe equal TO any
on the comic stage, as well as love and
trouble and infamy, in the history of
American women who have become
queens. One, for instance, ruled
kingdom that existed only in the mind
Of her husband. The Baroness James
Harden-Hickey, daughter of John H.
Flagler aud cousin of Henry M. Flag
Ter Of the Standard Oil Company, was
queen of Trinidad for space of time
after this fashion. Her husband was
an eccentric of American origin,
French citizenship, and strong royalist
leanings. His title was a papal one,

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.
aglned 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 Maximilian to Mexico,
which was then fresh in the minds of
the world, and without any manner of
excuse excepting his own perverse de-
sire. He roved over the world, and al
no place in the life of a nineteenth CEN
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 q
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 extravagant plans out of his
head even onto paper The big island
off the Venezuelan coast was discov-
cred by Columbus on his third voyage,
and for century before King James
proclaimed himself had belonged to
England. At the time it had a British
governor and 100000 inhabitants. King
James, therefore, speedily encountered
John Bull and as quickly as the ex-
changes of the information regarding
his usurpation could be made the
London government dispatched
cruiser to deal with this brand-new
problem of colonial control
King James and Queen Anna, at the
time constituting all the royal govern
ment, were exported to Key West, and
the king died as king for want of
place to rule.
Harden-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.

In Proflieate splendor.
She purchased a sumptuous hotel,
built palatial stables for her so magni-

Mecca of high society during the Third
Empire. Her splendor equaled her
profligacy. AT a dinner in honor of
the Prince de Chimay she wore a dress
embroidered with more than 1000
pearls Her stables were marvels of
equine luxury, and tickets of admis-
sion were issued to them as to great
art collections. She was accustomed
to giving elaborate breakfasts in them,
at which such lItables as Arsene
Houssaye, Theophile Gautier and the
painters Chaplin and Zeim were
guests. The table service at these re-
pasts was performed alternately by
three coal-black negroes and three
white men, all in her own special liv-
cry. Her equipages were more magni-
flcent even than the Empress Euge-

VA IVA ger "a Veteran Dip
NN w lomat" has this to
" " say of American
born women who
have shared royal thrones:
The American woman has gone
everywhere and become everything by
marriage There is not nobility in
he 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
hose outside of equally exalted fam
les, even in Europe. On the CONT
rcnt, in fact, II is practically true that
only those sheep blackened, or at least
sIinburned 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
teenth century history; an American
princess who actually shared throne
or at least a palace-is still alive:
and another, a New Yorker born, is
aunt by marriage of the German en-
press. Prince Leopold of Lippe-Bies
tcrfeld, who died few months ago,
nearly lost his principality of Lippe-
l,i J,,,S ho,,
a Philadelphian. Feminine citizens of
the United States have reached the
dubious positions of unofficial consort
of a king of Holland, wife of throne
less Bonaparte who had to give up his
American spouse to enter royal ranks;
and it was daughter of John II. Flag
Ter of New York who was wife of the
first and only king" of Trinidad, the
self-styled James |. of the island.
A Remarkable List.
This is a 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 a less super
vision of the love affairs of princess
than of prince and corresponding
care in selecting wives for the latter

Query-I have claim for widows
pension pending in the pension office
under the act of June 81, 1890. This
claim was filed in 1906 and l have not
satisfied the officials of my depen-
dence as required under that act
have been told by claim agent that
l will have to make application under
the act of April, 1908, if my claim
filed under the act of June 81, 1890, is
not allowed, but, as l understand it, /
will get pension of S12 per month
from April 10, 1908, without even ap-
plying, provided my other claim is re-
jected. Am right? l was married to
my soldier husband in 1871. He was
in the civil war for three years and re-
ceived an honorable discharge. He

1906-Mrs. Mary Nc N.
Answer-It will be necessary for
you to file an application for widows
pension under the act of April 10,
1908, in order to obtain pension there
under. The amount of your income
has no bearing on your title to wild
owls pension under said act, which
pension, if allowed, begins at S12 per
month from the date of filing of appli-
cation.

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 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 real, not a titular
princess.
Her father was 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 a 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.
A King in ThraIl.
A plebeian Ohio woman for years
held king in thrall and Nine. Musard
in the annals of the New World. On
the other hand, shameless European
adventuresses who have fascinated
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 wife, who was a ma
tive of 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 professional capacity at
Baden-Baden he succeeded in throwing
his wide-awake, ambitious and pretty
wife in the way of the austere William
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1908-12-25

were on a superb scale, and enthusias-
tically do bon vivants of that time
recall them, and declare that never
since have their like been seen.
End Comes Suddenly.
When Nine. Musard's edifice col
lapsed it was with startling sudden
ness. First the favor of the Dutch
sovereign was lost to her and Europe
was nearly plunged into war thereby.
In 1867 she betrayed her royal lovers
negotiations with Napoleon III, for the
sale of Luxembourg to France. The
king was in need of money, while the
woman was enjoying the height of lux
ury as a result of his gift. Luxembourg
was his and he sought to sell, thus vio-
lating the treaty guaranteeing its neu-
trality. In March the treaty of cession
to Napoleon was drawn up. William
confided the contemplated act to his
Egeria Nine. Musard betrayed the
fact, some say to the German ambas-
sador, others to the Marquise de Palva.
The disposition of the sovereignty of
the duchy had been settled 80 years
before by concert of the powers.
Germany was furious over the plotted
scheme and was was only averted by
the calling of conference in London
which settled LuXemburg's neutrality
and decreed that it should remain in
the possession of the house of Orange
Nassau. Egeria had lost her Numa.
Dies in Asylum.
Nemesis followed hard after. The
indiscreet talk of madam lost her royal
friend, but she was wealthy, and one
report had it that she had divulged the
secret negotiations for hard cash, was,
in fact, a gilded spy in the pay of Ger
many. Her joyful life as the adulated
of all adulators bade fair to last long.
But one night in her box at the opera
she was suddenly seized with a paraly-
tic attack. Her left eye was SO af-
fected she was never able to open it
again. She soon lost her mind; few
months later she became raving ma
MAC and tried to kill Chaplin, the
painter. She was shut up in the asy-
lum of DR.. Blanche, the famous spe-
cialist, and died shortly, leaving what
remained of her fortune to her Ameri-
can relatives. The parasites who had
lowered about her made off with
good portion of her money, and it is
needless to say that the heirs of the
obliging Musard put in claim that
had to be fought in the courts. So
ended in oblivion the glittering course
of the fair American who became
queen of society and mistress of roy
atty.
Through the contemporary records
of her meteor-like career Mario Mus
ard plays the part of ghost as he did
in life. 1t was not even known
whether he was French or Belgian in
origin. The nearest an assiduous
American could come to writing his
history SO years ago was the six
words: "He leads orchestras; that is
ALL" The sentence was written in
1858, when Musard was In New York
and was expected to inaugurate there
Saturday evening masked balls similar
to those which had become 30 popular
under his direction at Paris that the
enthusiastic chronicler declared that
Guizot, the then strongest man In
France, might be killed without Great

defy royalty is no small matter, and
scions of ruling houses like Archduke
Francis Ferdinand Of Austria, who sue
cumbed to the charms of non-royal
woman, must needs be only morgana-
tically married. But Princess Hohen-
berg's rendering of the archdukes
heart captive was comparatively
simple matter she having been lady
in waiting at court and so virtually
one of the royal family circle. But the
American woman can enjoy no such
advantage If she sets her cap for a
princeling. Women citizens of the re-
public, thousands of them. have been
years abroad, and only glimpsed an oc-
casional royal parsonage.
