AM ablo this wook, I am happy to say, to do fl n i t e ly sot at rest tho intense curiosity un der which I know my read ers have been laboring con cerning tho ex act result o( the negotia tions of Prince Isenberg von Birstein for the hand of Miss Florence Pullman, Bays tho "Saunt erer'in Town Topic. As I stated some weeks ago, no less exalted u per sonage than tho Emperor of Austria had interested himself in this proposed match, and it may now intorcst his Ma jesty, ub well as less conspicuous people to learn how the affair camo to bo 'oil" for good. Papa Pullman, who is noth ing if not businesslike from tho ground up, took a long timo to consider tho mut ter, but when ho reached lib decision tho Prince, bo I understand, was not long in hearing of it, Hir, Highnoca, so I am told, was politely but curtly in armed by tho multi-millionaire carman that he would never seok to intluonco his daughter's choice in her selection of a husband; thut sho would, however, re coivo but a nominul dowry if sho should contract a murriuge of which ho did not approvo, and that ho could not con sciontiously sanction her marriage to tho Prince. I fancy that if tho Princo hud been u little better acquainted with tho real character of tho Duko of Pull man (as ho is Btill called), ho might havo been tempted to run tho chanco of mak ing a ten-striko, so to speak, by indig nantly disclaiming anything like mer cenary motives and continuing his up peal for tho hand of his fair charmor ir respective of any financial conditions. For whatever elso may bo said of our American Duko, or, us I should say, our Ohicugo Duko, ho has never yet been Buspocted of u lack of desiro to trout his children handsomely, und I am reason ably confident that if tho Princo hud persisted und made Miss Pullmun u Princess, leaving tho futuro in tho hands of his father-in-law, ho would huvo found littlo reuson to complain of u luck of gonorosity on tho luttor's part. It is, of courBO, possible, howovor, that tho titled Austriuu oxpoctod his frlond, the Duko, to turn over to him his whole fortune, including all his rolling stock ili'PEil February 6th, THE Scerery ! Exquisite and reul estuto, together with tho entire town of Pullmun und its content?, us ono condition of his condescension in making his daughter u Princess, in which event tho princely fortitude with which ho accepted tho parontul rejec tion of bis suit is scarcely to bo wonder ed at. It is with great unwillingness, of course, thut I inform tho pooplo of Chi cago that ono of tho belles of that thriv ing town is not to become a Princess this spring, but anything is bettor than sus pense, and who knows, after all. but that anothor Prince may not put him self on tho western matrimonial market before tho year is out? McVU'kfr-I.tifHii. A quiet marriage ceremony was sol emnized at 8:30 Saturduy evening at tho home of Mr. and Mrs. James Rivett, Twenty-fourth and Sumner streets.
