eG himself, but when accosted by a
Gate City reporter did not deny the
fact that he would be candidate

The candidates for commissioners to

For Mayor.


Little change has been wrought dur
ing the past few days in the slate for
mayor. Friends are prevailing upon
A. ]. Dimond, who was mayor few
years ago, to enter the race. John
W. Rovane, who has served his ward
in political way, has already filed
his signed petition. Other candidates
are Charles Off, DR.. Frank Browne,
J. F. Elder and w. e. Strimback. An
other citizen who is being mentioned
by his friends for the mayorship is G.
A. Mcnamara, the coal dealer.
Candidates have not appeared in
the field as readily during the past
few days as had been expected. 1t is
thought that quite number. who will
circulate their petitions within the
next few weeks, do not think that any
haste is necessary in the matter, and
are inclined to remain in the dark
until few days before the primary.
The list Of candidates will likely be
doubled within the present time and
the time required by law for filing
the petitions and many dark horses
will enter in the race.

Romance of Old Portugal

The recent deposition of King Manuel Of
Portugal and the events in the young kings
life that led up to 1t Will no doubt bring back
to the minds Of some Of the older residents
OF the city the story OF Elise Hensier the
Springfield girl who married a king and be-
came the Countess Edla
The king she married was Don Ferdinand
H. Of Portugal a great grandfather OF King
Manuel Elise lived in Springfield about 60
years ago probably for about four years
The Henslers were humble people and
lived simply. The daughters, Elise and Louise,
were well received here and were given a
good musical education, especially Elise who
had quite a remarkable voice Signor Guidi
an Italian, at the time well known teacher
OF the voice, took an interest in Elise and II
was when Signor Guidi went to Boston that
the Hensiers went there largely through his
influence. He believed that Elise had a fu-
ture as a singer and wished her to be where
he could continue teaching her
Elise Hensler after her removal with her
family to Boston continued her studies She
was perseyerant in her work and progressed so
yell that she not only appeared in concerts in
the large cities in this country, but also in Eu-
rope, where she sang before royalty 1t was

death Of Queen Maria that King Ferdinand
heard her voice and felt the attraction that
led him to marry her

Their Of the assassinated King Carlos. the
grandfather Of the deposed King Manuel The
regency ended in 1875, and on June 10, 1869,
he married Miss Hensler
When the European powers decided the
time had come TO restore Spain to a monarchy
following the overthrow OF the short republic
which existed from 1873 to 1875, considerable
pressure was brought to bear upon Ferdinand
to induce him to accept the vacant throne.
But his wife could never be queen of Spain.
and It is possible that this fact alone induced
him to refuse.
This absolute refusal on his part to accept
the throne of Spain, with all the pomp and
splendor Of royalty in exchange for the roman.
tic life that he was living with his morganatic
wife, had far-reaching consequences. The COM
plicatiOns and jealouses resultant on the at.
tempt to find king acceptable to all the pow
helped to bring the Franco Prussian
war, and Alsace and Lorraine went back to
Germany, whence they had been wrested By
Napoleon Bonaparte
In consequence of these peculiar historical
facts, which geographically practically changed
all western Europe Elise Hensler, Countess
Edla, became famous throughout the world as
the woman who changed the map of Europe"
During the life OF the king they lived in the
beautiful castle of Cintra. 1t is certain that
their life was above reproach. In 1885 the
king died. and after that the countess lived In
