The Czar of Russia’s Four Daughters
Are the Most Perplexing Problems
He Has to Look After
"Once upon a time there was u king
and he had four daughters. And the
king was much perplexed where he
should find suitable husbands for
them. For he was a kindly man and
they were beautiful girls”
We ran well Imagine this as the
aliening paragraph of an old time
fairy tale. Hut In this rase It Is an
actual, acute situation staring In the
face that much hurrassed man, the
t’-'.ir of all the Russians.
Hevcral years now the scandal
mongers of Hi.rope have been explain
ing the marriages of expediency ar
ranged for the charming quartette.
Perhaps tl.eyq have been right. At
least hone of the stories have fallen
yet by the fact of the girl's wedding
someone else than the scandal-mong
er's choice.
The cloud of rumors has sw'.-ted
most thickly about the proud olgu. the
eldest daughter, because there Is great
likelihood of her Inheriting the throne
!y Hi > dinlse of her tubercular I ti e
brother.
Here Is Indeed a fitting subject for
Ihe romancer. Hweeplng. Imperial,
with a curl of her lip so cold ami
haughty that It would almost balle
la r icputalloi. for good nature, she Is
every Inch a queen. There Is a mag
nificence about her youthful carriage
rarely attained even by royal blood.
Doesn't Want Throne.
Yet she cares nothing for the throne,
Ihe ermine, Ihe crown diamonds and
the sceptre It Is well authenticated
that she tried to throw herself away
upon her young cousin. Prince Dimitri
I’aulovltch. the son of Ihe profligate
lirand Duke Paul.
For yours » romance developed be

the yonnK prince had given her. The
revelation of her Infatuation to the
Czar and Czr.rlna precipitated several
fearful scenes. The Orand hiicVn
Htamped her foot like any common girl.

for any pln-hcaded princely weakling.

There Is a great deal of Interest
centered In the meeting of the two
committees of council and council,
itseif. since the question of how much
the city's expenses will be reduced lit
l!l!4 will he the principal subjects
for discussion
There is a difference of SIO,OOO be
tween two contending factions with
regard to ihe amounts to be appro
priated for the fire and police depart
ments,
resist|blv attractive Where the eld
er sister Is magnificent, Imperial, cap
able of graving a throne, the second
daughter Is winsome, magnetic, capa
ble of becoming a great actress and
taking captive the heart of a nation
with her magic smile.
If there hnil been turmoil in Ihe
Czar's household before, It was as
nothing compared to the storm now.
The Czarina, always neurasthenic
surround her family, collapsed com
pletely and retired to her beautiful re
treat In the f’rknea. The Prince who
was the* cause If the trouble left the
country. His exile was complete, ab
solute. He seems now to have been
shut out of the I Ist of eliglbles entire
ly.
This list of eliglbles Is not a long
one and the daughters of the Czar
have u way of turning up their pretty
noses at almost every name on It.
Heading Ihe list Is the young Prince
of Wales, a schoolboy, thin,faced,
weakly, given to overmuch cigarette
smoking, perhaps too greatly ooddleed
by a foolish mother. Accustomed to
the virile, If dlslpated, society of Ht.
Petersburg, the lirand Duchesses are
not so 'much Impressed by the Itrltlsh
heir apparent. He Is said to admire
much the beautiful Titlanu, hut the
reports that the affection Is mutual
are not well borne out.
The second most eligible young man
from Ihe point of rank and station Is
Adalbert, third son of Kaiser Wil
helm 11, of (iermany.
lie Is stocky, rugged, far removed In
appearance from the Prince of Wales.
Koyul parents have thrown him and
the quartette of Imperial girls together.
Hut nothing has happened.
In the olden days nothing was ex
pected to hAppen. Rather, It made
no difference. Hut times h ave c hang
ed, The royal girl demands her ro
mance She will qot b e cheated out
of her meed of love and affection. She
has read the romantic novel and she
knows what Is her due of love and af
fection as a woman. She demands to
marry the man she loves. She will
hot take this one or that one to please
her father's prime minister.
A Stone Wall.
Thla changed attitude of the royal
young lady aeeina to have been the
atone wall on which the plan for the
sesllng of the Halkan peace hy royal
matchmaking wiih shattered.
I wist autumn there was much indig
nation, and juat Indignation over the
pitiless plan by which the diplomats
Intended to mate up the young folk
of Kastern European royalty.
In the first place Olga was to he
married to Prince Alexander of Servla,
the heir apparent to a throng atalned
with Mood. It will be remembered thut
King Peter, Alexander’s father, took
this throne from assassins who killed
King Alexander and Quern Drngn, and
even tore the latter to pieces and cast
the remnants of her body out of her
bedroom window Prince Alexander's
elder brother, George, committed
many horrible crimes. Including the
murder of the husband of his mistress,
and was shut out f rom the line of suc
cession Alexander Is said to he little
better, a sot and debauchee. The court
at Belgrade Is rude and barbarous
Orga's fate In such a union might well
he pitied.
Witching Eyes.
Then Tltlana, she of the witching
eyes, was to lie wed to Prince Charles
of liouuianla. He Is t he oldest son of
the Crown Prince of Roumanla, who
Is the nephew of the aged king and
queen. Koumatda Is slightly more
civilised than Servla, hut the Rou
manians seized some of Hiilgarlar'a
spoils of war recently and the fierce
Bulgarians will come acme day seek
ing vengeance. Charles' reputation Is
fairly good yet 'twould he a loveless
match, little to the taste of a twen
tieth century princess.
The girlish Marie, third daughter of
Nicholas lias been rumored to he a
sacrifice to Russian diplomatic rela
tions with Greece. She was to marry
Prince Boris, oldest son of the King
of Bulgaria She Is fourteen and he
seventeen yet this Is considered none
too young hy the diplomats when the
friendship of two centuries Is to he
cemented.
IJttle Anastatla Is still too young,
even for rumors The t'sar, sore per
plexed over the problem of the elder
three, already sees her as an added
difficulty In the distance
Czarina Too.
The Cxarlna Is little help to him. The
constant attempts on the life of her
husband, the almost dally conspiracies
within the palace, the menacing of the
lives of herself and the children, the
disastrous war with Japan, the expos
ure of the scoundraliam of the Czar's
near relatives, the ooutbreak of a
bloody revolution and her strained re
lations with the Czar himself, have
tended to unbalance her mind.
Her own Is a marriage of conven

girl and h«r surroundings were any
thing but happy. She was treated In
an off-hand way In St. Petersburg on
visits there before her marriage. The
Idea of a Herman marriage was not
popular In Russia However, th« ad
vice of Queen Victoria, of Knglund,
who was anxious for her granddaugh

offered to her, and the fact of strain

bined to prevail upon her and she
finally consented to become the bride
of Nicholas Alexandrovlteh,
