Czar's Sitter Married.

An important event of last week in Europe was the marriage of Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna, youngest sister of the Czar, to Prince Oldenburg. There was some opposition at first to the union, which is a love match, but Nicholas 11. is so fond of his sister that he gave in after a little persuasion. Princess Oga has inherited the simple manners of her father, Alex-

ander 111., and is the favorite of the imperial family. Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont was forced ( to abandon her proposed “patent med- | icine quadrille,” which was to have I been a feature of her dance at New- | port recently. She was compelled to I take this step owing to the avalanche i of letters and telegrams which the an- ! nouncement of the entertainment l brought down upon herself and upon ; her invited guests from the proprietors of patent medicines and from their advertising agents. Eager to avail themselves of such a favorable opportunity to advertise their "cures” among the “four hundred,” they offered not only to design the costumes worn to represent each particular remedy, but also to defray all the expenses iin connection therewith, some even being impolite enough to offer mone- ; tary considerations if their proposals were accepted.
