It was the occasion of the celebration in the church of “Santa Justa et Rufia de Lisbonne” of the marriage of Prince Portugal, Duke of Braganza e to the crown, with the Princess Marie Amelie Louise Helene d'Orleans, eldest daughter of the Count of Paris and his cousin, the Infanta lsa- belle. The nuptials of the Duke of Braganza with Princess Amelie made a great noise in France, and it was following the grand reception given on that account by the Count and Countess of is at the Hotel Galliera, Rue de Varene, the “laws of exile” passed by the Assembly against the elders of the families that had formerly reigned in France. With the eclat of her youth and beauty, her charming disposition and natural goodness of heart, the new Duchess of Braganza was not long in making the complete conquest of her future subjects, and when the death of King Luis in 1889 put his son, her young husband, on the throne, the acclamations of the Chamber of Peers hailed with equal joy King Car- los I and the young Queen Amelie. Since that time the Queen of Portugal, by the innumerable acts of charity to which she has consecrated a great part of her life, by the incomparable art of pleasing that is natural to her and by many other things, has gained dally in the devoted favor and affections of her people and is indeed universally beloved. At this moment Queen Amelie is the guest of France. For nearly three weeks she has sojourned at the Hotel Bristol, Place Vendome. Traveling incognito she Carlos of and heir presumy were is accompanied by the Count and Countess Figueiro and her physician, Dr. Lancaster. The Queen passionately loves France, the country of her birth, but by a deli- cacy which will be appreciated by all she has not wished that her presence at Paris should serve as a pretext for the least public demonstration. “l am Queen of Portugal,” she has said to those about her, “‘and not Prin- cess of the family of Orleans. I do not wish that to be forgotten.” This very proper attitude has earned for the Queen the respect of all the French, so that whenever she has come in fcontact with the Parisian public she has been greeted with marks of the most def- erential sympathy by France. M. Loubet, President of the republic, has called and presented his respects and was received in the most amiable manner by Queen Amelie, who soon after re- turned his visit through the first cham- berlain, Count Figueiro. The Countess of Paris, her mother, the Duchess of Guise and Princess Louise of France, her sisters, have come to Paris to meet Queen Amelie, but are not stop- ping at the same hotel with her. Queen Amelie will remain for some days yet in Paris and then return to Lisbon to rejoin her husband and her two son young Dukes of Braganza and Beja. the e i Eulalie Drives With Jockey. PARIS, June 13.—Infanta Eulalle, who was shocked to the point of fainting when she learncd in Chicago that the hotel- keeper, Potter Palmer, was identical with the Potter Palmer who had invited her to a ball at his great residence, has seemingly recovered from her aristocratic reserve, for she may now often be seen driving in company with a’jockey in tive Bois. Likewise her name is coupled with those of several other men of plebeian origin, and altogether her Royal Highness is acquiring the same kind of reputation that once attached to her great-aunt, Queen Isabelle. It is said that the Pope's refusal to listen to Eulalie's prayer for divorce was directly due to her varlous escapades. —_———— Viscountess a Centenarian. LONDON, June 13.—Viscountess Glen- worth, the only centenarfan in the Brit- ish peerage, celebrated her one hundredth birthday lately at her residence, Mar- hame House, Norfolk. She saw the guards leave for Waterloo from a door- way on Pall Mall and retains the liveliest recollection of the excitement here over the victory. Though she never walks, except in her own apartments, always using a wheeled chair in the open alr, she has perfect command of all her facul- ties, managing every detail of her estate herself. She attributes her long life to a good constitution and regular habits, —_—— Seven Killed in Explosion. GLASGOW, June 13.—Three men, three boys and a woman were killed and a num- ber of persons were injured last night as the result of a fire at a whisky distillery.

June 13.—Kylemore Castle, one of the most plcturenaue resi- dences in Ireland, has just been purchased by the Duke of Man- chester. It stands in the midst of the famous Connemara scenery, overlooking Killaries Bay. Friends of the Duke and the Duchess sang the praises of Kylemore in their presence about a fortnight ago, mentioning that it was for sale, and the former Miss Zimmerman immediately proposed to her husband that they go to see it. Last week they did so and so much were they pleased by the castle's appear- ance, fittings and location that they de- cided on the spot to become its owners, This purchase of Kylemore confirms the general belief in the more exclusive cir- — RUMOR GAINS CURRENCY OF HOPE'S ENGAGEMENT It Is Said That Author Will Marry Miss Elizabeth Sheldon of New York. LONDON, June 13.—Friends of Anthony Hope were much interested in the report that the author of ‘“The Prisoner of Zenda” was to marry Miss Elizabeth Sheldon of New York.

However, a friend of both the persons concerned has said that no announcement of the engagement had been made yet, though it was quite on the cards that one might be expected soon.

Her reason is her unwillingness to welcome M. Loubet at the annual ex- hibition on account of her indignation at the republic’s attitude toward the church. F. W. Stokes, the artist with the Peary relief and Swedish Antarctic expeditions, lectured this week before the Geographi- cal Soclety on color in the polar regions.
