From inform tiou now at hand it I appears tnat tavlor being informed of an alleiicd gr- ss insult offered by Herbert Marks to his cousin, Miss Rose Taylor, endeavored to have the matter amicably settled. " Failing to do so, he. in company with Stiff, Heflin. George V. Thompson and a vi r.

Colonel Sweet temporiz ed by explaining that the journey was long, tnat tne tropics are not uarticularlv attractive to the pret ry girls, and that American girls do very much as they please in their o'.'n sweet way The sultan was not easily discouraged. He got his mamma by threats or commands or oeseecnings, it is not for us to know how -to send her hat as a pres ent to the fascinating American girl. It somehow percolated into his in ner con-ciousnes that American girls need more persuading such very pretty girls as the one of the photograph and' he tried the -charm of all lauds,, the charm of jewels From the royal collection he select ed two of the finest oearls, rare. beautiful, perfect, so heavy that, thev drop like little bulle's into your nana, hard aud of a luster like the moonlight on the water.

Amsterdam. Pispatch. Sensational stories of a roval scan dal are again current. It is learned from an intimate court scource that it is hot improb able that Queen Wilbeimina will ap piy for a divorce on the grounds of cruelty and improper behavior on the pnrt of the Prince Consort. Public sentiment is inteselv with the Queen . Last night a biograph picture of Wdhelminia which was displayed at the Carre theatre was tumultuously cheered, while one of the Prince Consort was loudly hiss ed. It is now asserted that the Prince was adverse to the raarr ge from the first, but that the Kaiser ins's'ed on it. in view of the increasing German influence in Holland. This is said to explain the unhapDy appearance of the Prince at the wedding which was then generally remarked. Doairer Queen Emm i is heart broken over the 'out-eons -l the mar riage iirtd is now endeavoring to eff eet. a reconciliation:." The original causf of the royal estrangement was tne rnnce s deots which the Queen refused to pay. when she found they had been contracted in an "improp er manner. Don't Let Thm Suffer.
