the maid of honor. He ended an active
Irritation by promising to-make her-f,is
wife. It was the object she had had in
mind from the moment she began to fat
ter the queen.
Instead Of frownipg at the match
Queen Elizabeth gave it every encourage
ment. She thought it was extremely ro-
mantle. She was delighted at the idea
that her favorite retainer, a girl whom
she had grown to love as her own daugh-
ter and whom she looked upon as the
one person in Rumania in a position to
appreciate and understand her, becoming
the consort of the Crown Prince.
Moreover the idea of one poet queen
of Rumania being followed upon the
throne by another poet queen appealed to
her. She championed the match OF
Crown Prince Ferdinand and Helene
Vacarescu with all her might. King
Charles, however, was furious when the
matter was brought to his attention. He
absolutely vetoed the plan and so in
CURED the anger of Prince Ferdinand
that the latter threatened to resign his
rights Of succession to the throne for the
sake Of the lovely Helene, who was sew
eral years his senior.
But more furious were the members Of
the government at Bucharest when they
were told Of the affair. They notified
the Crown Prince that the Rumanian
nation would never tolerate the union
nor for one minute admit the possibility
Of her becoming queen Of Rumania.
They also notified him that even II he
were to waive HIS rights to the crown and
to wed the maid-in-waiting the mesal-
lance of a member of the reigning house
of Rumania with a family such as that
of the Vacarescus might involve the over
throw Of the HohenzoIlern dynasty on
the banks Of the Danube and the deposi-
ton Of the king himself
The government insisted that the
Queen dismiss Helene. Rather than yield
in this last particular, the queen pre-
ferred to leave Rumania and took up her
residence with Helene in Venice IN ia
grant defiance of the views OF the gov
ernment and of the commands Of the
King. The latter suddenly appeared in
Venice and proceeded summarily to dis
miss Mile. Vacarescu and also the
Queens Alsatian secretary.
The Queen herself he sent OF to Ger

medical restraint as an alleged lunatic
for nearly two years. That Queen Eliza
beth was ever really insane no one will
be willing to believe. There is assuredly
no trace Of mental disorder in any Of tht

A T A recent meeting of the board
~ of directors of the Grand VAL

A RRANGEMENTS are all per-
~ fected for the annual meeting
of the stockholders of the best
and most useful fruit organization in
the west. the Grand Junction Fruit
Growers Association. The compile
ton of the deal by which the Pail
sadie Fruit Growers Association was
taken over occurred yesterday, and
the stock which represents the price
paid for the holdings was delivered
by the president and secretary, which
entities the new holders to partici-
pate in the annual meeting.
There Will be no set program pre-
pared, but the several matters of bus
mess will be taken up in an order
which will enable as large volume
of business to be transacted as pos
sible. The meeting will be held in
the Majestic theater and the first
session at 10 o'clock.
After the call to order and the de-
termination of a quorum. the notice
of the meeting will be read and one
of the first things will be the nomi-
nation of candidates for directors, in
order that the ballots may be printed.
Then will come the annual report
of the manager with statement in
detail of the business of the year just
closed and the recommendation for
the work of the future.
4 recess will be taken for dinner
and on RECOMMENDING the regular bus
iness will be continued. 1t is expect
ed that Prof. Sandsten will speak on
the selling proposition some time
during the program. and the matter
of the standard apple box may he

fhe election of directors viii then be
taken up. These matters will be
taken up ut the time best adapted
to the completion of the important
work, and any who are interested
should be on hand at all times.
There seems to have been very lit
tie definite work done in the way of
securing proxies by those who are
talked OF as directors. 1t is certain
there will be necessary changes, as
Palisade will have at least three
members of the new board. Colonel
Bower and A. n. McLenon have been
agreed upon for two of the three.
w. G. Mcdonald and A. j. Harvey
are pretty sure to be chosen by Cliff
ton. and this will leave five and four
if the third man from Palisade wins
out. There seems to be a general sat
isfaction on the Fruit Ridges to
retain Robert A. Orr; Orchard Mesa
has two, but not enough votes to re-
elect them without outside help and
unless they get this they are liable
to lose both; they might unite and
be sure of one man. 1t looks as II
it would be anybody's fight for the
other five members.
The special train will arrive before
10 O'Clock, and there promises to be
very large crowd. as the growers
will be kept from pruning by the wet
weather.
