The crown princess of Roumania,
granddaughter Of Queen Victoria. who
is to represent her husbands country
at the coronation of her cousin. King
George of England. bears a striking re-
semblancc TO Queen Mary. although the
crown princess is by far the better
looking of the two. The crown prin-
cess was the Princess Marie of SAKE
Cohurg. daughter of the late Prince Al
fred Of Saxe-Coburg and Of the Grand
Duchess Marie Of Russia, an, aunt to
the ear. Although the SAKE Coburg
princesses were considered royal beau
ties, yet none of them made especially
good matches. Pincess Marie, the eld-
est, marrying the, insignificant Ferdi-
nand, heir TO the Roumanian throne,
shortly aftei all Europe had been en-
tertained with the story Of his love af-
fair with Mile. Helen Vaceresco, one of
the waiting maids of his aunt. Queen
Elizabeth of Roumauia Although Prin-
cess Marie's married life with the
gloomy and not very popular crown
prince has not been particularly hap
by one, she commands the admiration
and devotion Of the' Roumapians. In
every possible way she has tried to
ameliorate their condition, lending her
name and influence to every worthy
charity in the Roumanian capital and
endeavorlng to popularize the national
embroideries, faces and jewery. Prin-
cess Marie, unlike Queen Mary, likes
Americans and encourages them to
visit the Roumanian capital.

San Antonio, Texas. March 10
Theodore Roosevelt will not talk with
any representative of the Mexican In
surgents during his trip through Texas
He made this statement to the press

said the report was Absurd"
Col. Roosevelt arrived here Sunday
night shortly after 8 o'clock. His long
est address of the trip was made at
Houston, where the train stopped foi
three hours in the middle of the day.
He spoke to an audience of 10000 per-
sons and talked for more than an hour
on citizenship. An enthusiastic well
come greeted the ex-President as he
passed through the streets in parade
of automobiles. Four generals of the
United States arms accompanied the
party. Mr. Roosevelt probably will re-
view the troops now moblized here
sometime Monday, before his depar-
