SIGMARINGEN, GERMANY, Sept. 6.—Royalists of Portugal, who, ever since King Manuel and Queen Mother Amelia fled before the Republican up rising in 1910, have fondly hoped for the restoration of the monarchy, have had their hopes raised to the highest pitch by the marriage of Manuel to Princess Augustina Victoria of Ho- henzollern, which took place here on Thursday. They believe, not only that the wedding of the youthful leader of their cause, will cement feeling in Portugal in his favor, but they re ceive vast encouragement in the fact that through the representation of every royal house of Europe at the ceremony, formal recognition was given to Manuel as the rightful ruler over the nation whose people deposed him. The kinshin of Manuel to the rul ing house of England and the fact that the bride, though but distantly related to the Kaiser, bears the family name of the German war lord is looked upon as tremendously ad vantageous. should the Portuguese royalists once more take up arms and endeavor to overthrow the republic and once more establish the throne. The ceremony was performed ac cording to the Roman Catholic ritual and was conducted by Cardinal Nette, former Archbishop Patriarch of Lis bon. Brilliant Royal Gathering. There was a brilliant gathering of princes and princesses. Among them were the Prince of Wales, represent ing King George of England; Prince Eitel Frederick, representing Emper or William of Germany; Prince and Princess Henry XXXIII of Reuss. PTincess Friedrich of Hohenzollern, Prince Carol and Princess Elizabetn. Also among the 75 guests were the Duke of Montpensier, who declined to be King of Albania; Queen Mother Amelia of Portugal; the Infante and Infanta Carlos of Spain, representing King Alfonso; the Duke and Duchess of Coburg, the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Baden, the Duke of Opor. to of Portugal, uncle of ex-King Man uel; the Duke and Duchess D’Aostt of Italy, representing King Victor Emmanuel; Prince William of Hohen zollern, fatner of the bride, and Count August Eulenburg. grand marshal to the reigning Hohenzollern family in Germany. Enormous crowds of .townspeople and strangers began gathering around the castle early in the day. Prince William had great tables set along the roadway filled with good things to eat and drink and all were invited to help themselves. Many foreign tmirists, Americans and others, who happened to be in the neighborhood, drove into the picturesque little vil lage hoping to get a peep at some of the distinguished guests and maybe at Manuel himself. Civil Ceremony Performed. Before the religious rites a civil ceremony was conducted by Count August Eulenburg, who is empowered to conduct such functions by reason of the high office he holds. Prince Augustine was given away by her father. Four royal princesses were bridesmaids. The bride wore a white satin gown with a long train and trimmed with lace, which lias been in the faitiily for many decades Slgmaringen Castle is a picturesque spot, settling high on a rocky prom ontory abcfre the Danube. From its windows can be seen a mighty stretch of uplands, running down to the wooded banks of the Danube, so old in song and story. The wedding gifts cost a fortune. The royalists of Portugal collected $20,000 and sent some handsome plate; the bridegroom presented his bride with a costly string of pearls; King George and Queen Mary of Eng land sent a silver dinner service, and Queen Mother Alexandria of England sent a gold wine service. Although ex-King Manuel and his bride are bound by blood ties, th? re lationship is somewhat distant and offered no obstacle to the marriage. The paternal grandmother of P r> n- cess Augustina Victoria was th.; In fanta Antonia of Portugal, sist-r of Manuel’s grandfather, King Luis of Portugal. Distant Kin to Kaiser. The Princess is the only daugnter of Prince William, the head of the non-reigning line of Hohenzollerns, who live in Suabia in southern Ger many and still adhere to the Catholh* faith. The relationship between this line of Hohenzollerns and the 1 in-* of which the Kaiser is the head is very remote, and it is necessary .o go back for hundreds of years to trace it Tho.mother of the Princess is Prin cess Marie Therese of Bourbon-Sicily, only daughter of the late Prince Louis of Bourbon. Comte de Trani. who was a younger brother of the last King of Naples. Prince Louis’ widow Ls still living and one of the two sur viving sisters of the murdered Em press of Austria. Princess Augustina Victoria’s great-grandfather was Prince Charles Anthony of Hohenzol lern, a close friend of Napoleon III. Until 1849, Prince Charles Anthony and the other Suabian line, the Hoh enzollerns of Hechingen. exercised sovereign rights over their respective dominions, but in the revolutionary wave which swept Europe in that year they surrendered their sovereignties to the Crown of Prussia, in return t jr a perpetual annuity from the Prus sian treasury. Precipitated Prussian War. Prince Charles Anthony, after sur rendering his sovereignty to Prussia, devoted himself to railroad construc tion and became one of the railroad kings of Germany. His eldest son, Leopold, married the Infanta Anto nia of Portugal, and in 1870 became a candidate for the throne of Spain, from which Isabella had been driven. It was his election to that throne, which he declined, which precipitate.] the Franco-Prossian War. His brother Charles had already been elected to the throne of Roumania, in 1866. King Charles of Roumania lost his only child, a daughter, when she was quite young, and selected as his heir apparent his nephew, Princess Augustina Victoria’s father, Prince William, the son of his brother Leo pold. Prince William was duly proclaimed Crown Prince of Roumania, but after residing in Bucharest for three years decided that he liked neither the country nor the people, and re nounced his rights of succession and returned to Simaringen, where he has since lived. Thus but for a whim Manuel’s bride would be a princess royal of the reigning house of Roumania. King Charles then selected Prince Ferdi nand, another nephew, and a brother of Prince William, to fill the place vacated by the lat - or. The princess’ full name is Augus tina Victoria Wilhelmina Antoinet*a Mathilda Ludwiga Josephine Maria Elizabeth, and she was born 22 years ago in Potsdam. History Is Tragic. The history of ex-King Manuel’s ancestors in Portugal is a bloody one. His great-grandfather, King Pedro, and bis wife died suddenly of a strange malady, the King following the Queen to the grave within a few weeks. The story goes that their death was caused by a mysterious Oriental vegetable poison adminis-* tered by a lady of aristocratic Portu guese birth, who feared the King’s attentions to her. Pedro was suc ceeded by his nephew. King Luis, grandfather of Manuel. King Luis and his 16-year-old brother Ferdinand were suddenly taken with the same symptoms xs King Pedro. Their father. King Con sort Fernando, wa r almost crazed with grief w'hen an English physician gained admittance to the palace anl administered an antidote for the poi son. Ferdinand died the next day, but King Luis recovered, though throughout his entire life he has never been able tc id himself of th? effects of the poison. The woman was never brought to trial, but was compelled to spend the remainder of her life in a convent. King Luis was succeeded by his son Carlos, who. together with Ms eldest son. Crown Prince Luis Philippe, was assassinated i»» the streets of Portugal in February, 1908, and thus thd right of succession devolved upon Manuel, the second son of King Car- Manuel Deposed in 1910. The internal trouble which resulted in the assassination of Carlos and his son was the culmination of the cor rupt government and intolerably heavy taxes instituted by Carlos upon his accession to the throne in 1889. King Manuel, during his short reign, had no time to change the order of government, and his deposition in 1910 was due to political causes rather than to his extravagances and fond ness for ladies of the stage, as some are inclined to attribute it. The names of VSalceva, the Russian danc er. and Gaby Deslys were frequently mentioned with that of the young King, however. After his flight from Portugal with his mother. Queen Amelia. Manuel took up his residence at Wood Nor ton. Evesham, England, his poverty having forced him to accept the hos- STREET CAR SMOKERS WIN ONLY WITH AID OF WOMEN ST. JOSEPH. MO.. Sept. 6^—The practice of smoking on street cars here was saved from a death blow when the Federation of Women’s Clubs voted overwhelmingly that smoking on the rear platforms of the cars was not ob- Jm ti.»nable. The street car company and the board of health requested the Women's Feder ation, comprising delegates from all the city clubs, to pass on the subject EXPOSURE TO SUN DEMANDS pitality of the Duke of Orleans. The republican government of Portugal has granted Manuel a pension of $3,- 300 a month, but this is not sufficient for the needs of the young man, who still retains the title of King and maintains a retinue in kingly fashion. Manuel was born on November 15, 1889, and hence is ;1 year and a half older than his bride. While he was sitting on the throne of Portugal it was believed that he would marry’ & n English girl. In the fall of 1909, on a trip to England, It was expected that he would ask for the hand of Princes- Patricia of Connaught or of Alexan dra, the present Duchess of Fife, who will be married to Prince Arthur of Connaught in October. There was a rumor of the possibility of his mar riage to the daughter of the Kaiser, who recently married the heir of the Duke of Cumberland. Manuel, by courtesy of the mon- arehial courts of Europe, retains his rank as King, and his bride is entitled to be called “quise” and addressed as “Your Majesty.” The Princess will also be known as the Royal High ness Duchess of Saxony.*’ The castle at Sigmaringen, the homo of the bride and scene of the wedding ceremony to-day, was grant ed to the senior branch of the Hohen zollerns by Emperor Charles V in 1534. It previously had belonged to the DeMontfort and Werdenberg fam ilies, both of which became’extinct. Married on Portuguese Soil. The castle is grouped around a tow er of Roman construction dating from the early Christian era. Its various owners have tried to make it both a castle and a palace. It has the ram parts, bastions, towers and battle ments of a castle and all the dainti ness and magnificence of a palace. Its galleries contain many of the most famous art. treasures of Europe, in cluding several old masters, statuary, enamels, ancient arms and historic relics of every conceivable descrip tion. The castle is perched on a rocky eminence overlooking the Danube. Manuel was married,on Portuguese soil, for a sack of earth had been sent from Lisbon for him to stand on dur ing the ceremony. Manuel is related to the present Kings of Italy and England. His grandmother was a sister of the late King Humbert of Italy, and his great grandfather was the uncle of the Prince Consort, husband of Queen Victoria and father of Edward VII. Chair in Lake for 40 Years Floats Ashore Finder Discovers That Piece of Wreckage Was From Almost Forgotten Steamship. MAQUETTE. MICH., Sept. 6.— Walking on the beach of Lake Superior near Marquette, A. A. Cole found the remains of an old chair’ which had ap parently been washed up in a recent storm and which he carried to his sum mer cottage. With the addition of a few pieces of wood and a coat of paint, Mr. Cole transformed his find into a pre sentable rocker. While making the repairs he discov ered in stenciled letters on the bottom underneath the seat the words: “Htr. St. Clair." Pioneer residents of the Up per Peninsula well remember the boat, which foundered in the western end of Lake Superior, with all hands, in a storm nearly 40 years ago. MARRIED 14 YEARS, PAIR ELOPE TO CORRECT ERROR ST. LOUIS, Sept. 6.—Mr. and Mrs. Patrick J. Crimes, of St. Louis, "eloped” to Springfield, 111., and were remarried. They were married fourteen years ago # but because of a clerical error in the li cense Mrs. Crimes requested her hus band to go through the ceremony again. Mrs. Grimes’ maiden name was Sadie Gruber. In the marriage license the name was written "Gruder.” SUES TWIN BROTHERS ON FREEZE-OUT GAME CHARGE SOUTH BEND, IND , Sept. 6—Charg ing that his two brothers have "frozen” him out of a part interest in the Elbel Brothers’ music store, Herman Elbel has filed suit against Richard and Rob ert Elbel. asking the appointment of a receiver to sell the concern and divide the proceeds. The Elbel Brothers have been in business here nearly thirty years. The plaintiff alleges he offered to sell his share for $25,000, but that his brothers refused to buy. “Barrington,” a Mystery After Ten Years, Still Proclaims His Innocence. ST. LOinS. Sept. 6—Efforts to ob- tain a parole or pardon for F. A. Bar rington Seymour, the notorious “Lord Barrington,” serving a life sentence for the murder of James P. McCann near St. Louis in 1902, are revealed by a member of the State Pardon Board. Strangely, the woman whom Bar rington married, and who was chiefly instrumental in his exposure as an Impostor, is said to be deeply in terested in the fight for hiR freedom. That the United States Department of Justice will be drawn into the case seems certain, as “Barrington’s” chief point in his defense is that the man he was convicted of slaying is now alive in the person of James P. May- bray, whose band of hors** and foot racing swindlers was broken up by the Federal Government after many of them had been sent to prison. The “Barrington” trial, w'hich formed an International case on account of the defendant’s claims to British no bility, has proved a bone of conten tion and a mystery to the police for ten years. Opinion as to the prison er’s guilt has been divided. The greatest point made against “Barrington” at the time of his trial was the fact that his claims of birth were not proven. Even in the history of his life, which he has submitted to the Pardon Board. "Barrington” has refused to give definite facts. The report that Grace Cochran, the Kansas City girl who was married to “Barrington’’ while the latter was be ing feted in St. Louis as a member <>f the nobility, and who later had their marriage annulled, is aiding him proves to be one of the strangest inci dents of the case.
