largely on acooaat of the unsettled eeadl1
tion of the Irteh question. Pair rciauons
witi Ireland are essential , in his opinion , to
any present or future alliance between Gag-
land aod America. &ad any fresh outbreak
of ill-feeling ltw a England and
Irtltad would b * fatal to the per-
formaace e\en of the present friendly re-
Utioas between the two countries. Pnttlns

two rsod by which seen an alliance wlgtt j
become a possibility. To tuote lis own ,
vord * "The one would be oxir tik.ng the j
first step by assisting the Vnitedutes ia
the erect of an attack upioa * hem bv some
European power , ia connection with the
conclusion of the present war , and with
their annexations. " " 7he other
jossiblllty Is that some day there should
occur Uiat of which there was some slight
tiga last year , namely , the uprising of niotl
feeling ia the United
State * in tome ques-
Uon concerning the position of the weak ,
tad profouadly moving to the religious } -art
of the community. Tbt Araeaita aasscrcs
are an .example of the klad of question
which might at some moment produce a
common feeUng among the religious people
of the British empire and of the Uuited
States , which might lead to common action ,
even of a military kind. But here again
there seems little prospect of a general or
Etaa41cg war alliance arising out of surh
action. " Sir Charles concludes that the |
main tie between the two roclions of the
Anelo-Sason race is literary and religious
and that this bead of union is being
itrengthened rather than diminished , t > ut
of permanent alliance he -

The Century for September Is replete with
articles growing out of the war and It
might almost be designated as a war num
ber were it not for tie introduction of
tarious ether matters of timely interest.

of Michigan writes of "The Malay Pirates
of the Philippines ; " Theodore S. Wcolsey ,
professor of International law at
Yale university. contributes a study

spondent , tells "Incidents of the Cuban
Blockade. " President Daniel C. Oilman of

paper on "Alexis de Tocquevllle and His
Book on America Sixty Years After. "
Gustav Kobbe has an appreciative descrip

Walker. Dr. Daniel G. Brinton's paper on
"Popular Superstitions of Europe , " and the
final article by Prof Benjamin Ide Wheeler
on "The Seven Wonders of the World" have
characteristic illustrations by Andre Cas-
talgae. There are two stories , "His Version
of It. " by Paul Leicester Ford , and "His
Word of Honor. " a character sketch by
Bliss Perry.
Richard Harding- Davis gives his version
of the fight between the Rough Riders and
the Spanish at Guaslmas la Scrlbaer's for
September. Mr. Davis was in the thick of
the fight , as was also Edward Marshall , who
writes his story of that day's ( Joint ; from a
New York hospital , where he is recovering
from -rounds received in the later fight
before Saatlago. Still another correspond
ent , who was in the midst of the fighting at
El Caney , tells how the Spaniards fought.
This by no means exhausts the list of war
articles prepared for the readers of Scrib-
ner's. The serial features are continued.
Senator Lodge's "Story of the Revolution"
has reached Greene's campaign in the south

Ing. Octave Thanet contributes a story en
titled "The Conscience of a Business Man. "
St. Nicholas , like Its contemporaries ,
bristles with war articles , "The Voyage of
the Oregon" being the opening theme. An
illustrated article on "The Gun Foundry
at Washington" tells how the great guns
for American war chips are made. "A
Brcsh with Malay Pirates" describes a
fierce attack by a fieet of proas upon an
American bark , but there is much in the
current number besides war stories that
will be of Interest to St. Nicholas readers.
The handsome external appearance of
Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly for Sep
tember Is borne out by an exceptionally at
tractive table of contents. The leading
article , "A War Ship's Battery. " is by
Henry Harrison Lewis , The famous "John
son Island Conspiracy. " an episode of the
civil war , recalled by the recent death of
Leonard B. Johnson of Sanduiky. O. . Is In-
tereitlagly recounted by Frederick Doyd
Stevenson. Another article of historical as

"Story of Wyoming the Beautiful. " The
artistic rambles In Holland , of Bisblng , are
chronicled with some original sketches by
his friend. J. M. Erwln. "Canoe Cruising. "
by Commodore F. R. Wood. Is full of pleas

contributes some charming notes upon "The
Irish Pecple at Home. " accompanying half
a dozen characteristic pictures by Helmlck.
The tenth and final paper of the religious
denominations series Is "The Roman
Catholics. " by Rev. A. P. Doyle. The two
tertals , "Marie Tremalne" and "An Ameri

Beginning today the festivities preliminary
to the enthronement of tns charming young
Wilhelmina i as queen of Holland will be In
augurated by the loyal people of the Neth
rrUnds. The heiress'to the throne reaches
the I required legal age , IS years , today and

ceedlng day until the enthronement. September -
ber 1 6. will be a holiday and Judging the
variety of celebrations planned It is certain -
tain t the "Dutch will take Holland" without
resistance. i
In many ways Queen Wilhelmina Is still
only < a child. Her subjects love to regard
her 1 is such and they will continue to do so
until she chooses a husband. Already there
| ara tsa&y suitors for her hand not numerically -
cally < many , for few can aspire to marry a
queen < but enough to keep constantly alive
rumors i that she has tingled out a. husband
among i the scions of royal houses In Europe.
So far such ruaors have proved mere idle
talk I , for Wilhelmina declares that she is in
no i hurry to marry , but that when she does
the i will choose her own husbaad and that
marriage i in her ca e will spr.n : from the
heart ! and not the bead.

No royaj family In Europe has proJuct-d

and ' diplomacy to these princes the first
William of Orange , who was assassinated
at ' Delft in ICSt ; his eons. Maurice , the most
eminent ' soldier of his time , who died In
1CJ5. : and Frederick Henry , who , until his
death ' in 1047. during the thirty years' war ,
raised ; his country to the highest pitch of
prosperity ! and power , and. laftly. his great-
gr&ndson. ; who became King William III

Of the kings In the nineteenth century
William II was a distinguished soldier ,
whose victory ever the French at Quatre
Bras facilitated that of Wellington at Water-
loo. The House of Nassau claims as high
antiquity : as any now re gclng. but the prcs-
ent young queen Is the last of her race wto
could Inherit the crown , unless she marry
and have children , since the succession has
be-en formally renounced by Add ! of Kas-
sau , grand duke of Luxemburg.
So much for Wllbelmlna's lUtage , and the
importance to her people cf a matrimonial
alliance. Of the former It is perhaps not
kind , just at this Joyoas time , to refer to
her father. King William III , for that sovi
erelgn is not remembered pleasantly by his
people. And yet a few words are necessary.
King William III. the last male member
of the famous House of Orange , was not an
exemplary ruler. He was wild and dissl-
pated in early manhood. His first wife ,
Sophia , daughter of the king of Wurtem-
berg , succeeded fairly well In curbing his
dissolute tastes , but when he succeeded to
the throne on the death of his father and '
came into a fortune of 1 < X > ,000.000 florins , he .
relaxed all restraint and his name became
a byword over all Europe.
Klnjr William III' Romance.
After he had wasted all his money and 1
wrecked bis health in riotous living and 1
after his unprincipled escapades had sent
j his wife , heartbroken and childless , to the i
grave. King William III suddenly underwent -
went a change. To the surprise of everybody -
body , and to the disgust of not a few , he fell I
In love love serolusly and honestly. The
object of his love was Princess Helen of t
Woldeck-Pyrmont. now the widowed Duch
ess of Albany. She was nearly 40 year his
Junior , a radiant beauty and a reigning
belle In the gay European capitals. She was
ambitious , too , but not ambitious enough to
aspire even to a throne as the consort of
such a notorious old monarch , so she laughed 1
her royal suitor to scorn. Then came a ro
mance. Listening one day , old King Wil
liam heard a conversation between the Prin
cess Helen and her younger sister Emma.
Woman fashion , they were discussing their
love affairs. Finally Emma , reproaching
the elder for casting aside such a great op
portunity. exclaimeJ "I should never re
fuse to become a quwc. "
The remark set the old roue monarch to
thinking. Emma was certainly as beautiful 1
as her sister and she would surely make 1.
gracious quc n He made up bis mind
quickly and asked for her hand. Princess
Emma , true to her word , accepted and became -
I
came the queen of Holland. All the world
has marveled at her splendid devotion dur
ing the dark hours of her married life how
she nursed the sick and semi-insane old king
through years of tedious Illness until the
end came.
A year after the marriage little Wilheltn-
ina was born and now the child of this
strange union is to be crowned amid all the
good wishes of Europe. Few among the
royalty of Europe have become better
known and none have more generally en
deared themselves to all dases of people
than has Holland's little queen.
Wllhelmlna' * Home Life.
There are many reasons why Queen Wll-
hclmlna is so much loved by her subject * ' .
Her mothers' character Is In part responsi
ble , for the latter has always been a per
sonage of profound aspect. From the time
little Wllbelmlna was born her training
has been quite unlike that of other sov
ereign princess In Europe. Her teachers
were Instructed to treat her as they would
any child of less distinguished parentage. ;

Coronation Ccrrmony.
On September 5 the queen aad her mother
will proceed to Amsterdam , where the coro-
I nation will take place the day following ,
amid all the pomp and circumstance that the
people of the Netherlands can muster.
Chimes will ring at T o'clock in the morning -
ing from every church in Holland's staid
capital city , and at 11 o'clock the coronation
j ceremony w-ill begin at the NIeuwe Kirk.
I The church Is not an Imposing structure
i such as would seem Cttlnc for the corona-
' tion of a sovereign. Its auditorium is hardly
j larger than the chapel of the Kremlin at
j Moscow , where Czar Nicholas was croaned.
! In It will be crowded the members of th
I Judicial and legislative houses of the Nether-
1 l&nds. la accordance with the dictates of
Dutch law. The ministers of state will tx
> there and also the Immediate relative ? of
| the queen. But the great public will be
, obliged to wait outside and catch their'
glimpses of Wilhelmina on her royal progress -
. ress from the chapel to the palace. The de-
1
, nomination of the church to be thus honored -
. ored is the Colonist Dutch church.
j i The coronation is to be a momentous oc-
] I caslon and an event which will be a part
j j of the future history of Europe. All the dig-
, nitarles and great lights of the kingdom will
be present. Every crowned head with whom
j 1 the Netherlands enjoys diplomatic relations
I i has been Invited to the solemn ceremony.
j ' They will not attend la person , but each
J will be represented by some one whose rank
j i is less than queen. The presidents of thi
! republics are also Invited and they will be
[ 1 fittingly represented. And not the least in-
I tcrestiag feature of the occasion neither
1 for Queen Wilhelmina cor the others will
be the presentation of a memorial and ad
dress from the Holland society of Chicago.
The Holland society is composed of men and
women of this western metropolis who are
' broad and loyal enough not to forget their
I tacient Dutch lineage in the midst of the
! activity and bustling business life of , lhelr i
|
adopted nation.
The coronation of Queen Wllhclnlna Is
an Interesting incident In the never-ending
game of royalty that ecch succeeding year
brings about in Europe. While , from a political - !
' litical r ilnt of view , u may not be such a j |
momentous affair as the coronation of the t
j
czar of Russia at Moscow , yet it embraces j
some Interesting features which were absent I I
in the other. Queen Wilhelmina does not
step upon the throne as a herald of martial - (
tial glory and despotic force. A mighty emi | i
pire does not bo * in awe at t.r soverelsn ] I
authority. On the contrary she assumes the j
titles of her ancestors , a sweet and maldeniy
j
E'rl. ' modest and tender hearted , loved by I
royalty and the common people alike , a I
splendid example of what common sense , j
domestic training and motherly love can '
accomplish even in a palace. When she
placc-a the crown of the Netherlands on her
brow 6. 0 white pigeons will be liberated
to carry the tidings to all parts of her '
kingdom veritable white-winged messengers - I'
gers of love and Joy. And If the truth were j
known , the young queen is more interested | |
la these , her favorite birds , than ehe is In
the elaborate preparations which are being
. made in her honor.
j An Intere lnic Proipect.
i
i The queen Is a rich heiress in her own
right , apart from the liberal allowances
which she receives from the state treasury
The House of Orange has always known
how to Invest its money to good advantage.
A big private fortune was made by King
, William I mainly in commercial nadertak-
i I ings , and this was enlarged by bis sue-
ccssors. Queen W llhelmlsa as the last fur-
vlvor of the lice has inherited great wealth.
aad with her fortune , her crown and her
contented , easily go\erned people she has
much to offer to a royal suitor. She has
several palaces and country houses , and If
these are not among the finest royal resi
dences in Europe they are well turnlshed
and with one excepuoa comfortable ,
! although adapted only to the requirements
of a modest , unpretentious court.
The largest of these palaces is the taas-
elve town hall in Amsterdam , which was
built in the sixteenth century tnd presented
In 1SOS to King Louis Bonaparte as a royal
residence. Externally it is not a palace , for
there is no entrance in front , and the ma-
rine vane on he tower , like the sculptures

acter. Internally it is
. tumptuouslr fur-
nithed and decorated. The great reception
room is reall ? palitUl , with & roof 100 feet
from the floor , with walls of white marble
and with much fine sculpture. Tht tea room
and tno dining rooms hare elaborately
painted ceilings and side walls , immense
chlmner pieces and well executed statuary
and reliefs. The paintings throughout the
palace are br Dutch masters , aad all the
decorations are rich in color. In the royal
apartments and waiting rooms there are
heavy silk hangings , sumptuous furniture
of th first empire , delicate Italian mosaic
cabinets , rich services of Sevres and tx-au-
tiful statuary. It is anything but a shabby
genteel palace within , inconvenient as it
may be as a royal residence and undisguised
as its municipal character may be externally.
The palace at The Hague is small and un
pretentious , baring been designed as the
residence of one of the earlv stadlholders.
It has comfortable , well furnished apart *
cents for the royal household , and the walls
ere lined with family portraits , but there
are ao spacious rooms for court ceremonies.
At present there axe many handsome orna
ments in the halls and reception rooms , for
the so-called coronation gifts have come
from the European and Asiatic courts and
from the colontes ; but there caa never be a
brilliant court at The Hague until a palace
worthy of a royal city i : built. A more
interesting residence Is the House In the
Wood , a villa surrounded with verdure. It
aas built IoO years ago , and Is well stocked
with Oriental tapestries and embroideries
and Delft porcelain.

Quite frequently the remedy is required In
the very busiest season or in the night and
much inconvenience and suffering mast be
borne before it can be obtained. It costs but

every family can well afford to keep It in
their home. It is ererywhere asknoaledged
