American
Girl May
Share the
Throne of
Portugal
W
.IX she ever become the
queen of Portugal? That
was the question which
was nsked again and
again, when, on July 9.
1909, there was an
nounced in London the
engagement of Miss
,:. 10 the throne of Portugal, and
c-'•]'dson of the man who actually
Wined as king to that country from
25-3 to 1 S34.
'That question is being asked re
jeaiedly today, now that the dynasty
Hr.igania-Coburg has been over
thrown' by the revolutionary move
ment and King Manuel and the queen
mother have sought safety In flight.
I! :, interesting as are tho complica
ted which confront one when he un
dertakes to investigate the history of
royal family of Portugal, the con
tirgeir-ies which might admit of the
«i'o^s'nn of an American queen are

looking for an heiress whom he might
marry. The story runs that he first
saw Miss Stewart when they were
I'ei.ew-i :rssenpers on a channel steam
'icr ciowing from Calais to Dover. She
Htt-i.rUd him. He compassed all the
wiles known to the expert in the ef
fort to get an opening so that he
li.'l speak. None came. Tho young
hi'iv and her mother kept a very
lu i:chty attitude. Rut the mother and
dn'iLhter became very suspicious us
to the identity of the handsome young
man shadowing them. They nsked
that the guard lock them Into their
railway carriage. But the persistent
prince took the same train for Ixn
lon. and when tho ladles entered
their motor brougham he paid well a
olianfTeur who kept In sight of their
carriage until it reached its destina
tion.
Then nil became easy. The car
riage stopped In front of a house in
Orosvenor Square. The Identity of
the Americans was quickly estab
lished. The prince Induced a friend
to take him to the house and perform
the necessary introductions. He made
Ills apologies for following them with
cleverness and suavity. He "wanted
sn much to know them." He called
nt the houBe a number of times. Tho
mother did not think of "intentions"
until too late. When he declared them
there was a prompt refusal. The
daughter must not enter upon tho
life of political Intrigue to which the
wife of the prince would bo destined.
Hut the affections of the young wom
an were already engaged.
the consent of the mother was given.
Then in his turn tho young prince
two weeks after the engagement to
Miss Stewart was announced made a
.•••public denunciation to nil claims to
the throne of Portugal which he
might have been supposed to cherish,
l'efore tho recent revolution, there
fore. the American bride can have
thought of the crown of Portugal as
-.but a very distant possibility.
Hut now tho republic has arrived
apparently. No one can say what the
future story of Portugal may be,
whether tho republic will stay, or tho
present royal family will come back,

ways that the people will tire of the
newly-instituted form of government,
that they will decide not to allow
King Manuel II. to rule over them,
und that they will Invite tho pretender
to assume the throne which was re
nounced by his father. It would not

Anita Stewart, Wife of Prince Mlquel of Braganza.
That wedding in tho little Scottish
church on September 15. 1909, was
hailed as tho first royal wedding
which Scotland had known slneo the
marrJage of the ill-fated Mary, Queen
of Scots. The people of the region
of Dingwall made tho occasion a
semi-public event. Tho town was
gaily decorated, and as hig a bonfire
as ever blazed on a Scottish beacon
hill was lighted on the slopes of Hen
Wyvis, and around it danced the
young people of the neighborhood to
tho music of bagpipes.
Tho prince was deeply in debt at
the time of the marriage. I.ast De
cember it was stated in dispatches
from lludapest that a syndicate of
creditors was suing the prince for a
million. It was said that the syndi
cate had advanced him a large sum.
payable when be should have made
rich marriage. Then last February
In Vienna a large crowd in the
streets watched tho transfer of bric-a
brac and other belongings of the
prince from his rooms to a huge
wagon, some of his creditors having
seized his furniture.
To cap the monetary troubles of
this scion of the llraganzas announce
ment was published in Vienna on
February 16 last that the Austrian
courts bad placed Prince Miguel un
der "curatel," which puts him In a
At length much more humiliating position than
is that of an undischarged bankrupt
in England. 1'oople are only placed
under curatel on \he ground of in
sanity or reckless extravagance. Ono
is deprived of all bis privileges as a
citizen, he is incapable of contracting
any legal obligation, not even the
mere witnessing of a legal document,
and he Is at the mercy of his curators
or Judicial trustees, appointed by the
court to act as his guardians and as
the administrators of whatever prop
erty ho may have left.
Up to the time of this marriage the
llraganzas had sought almost always
royal alliance?, even if not. with reign
ing houses. When their scions have
married into tho nobility of lower
rank it l'.as been always in the form
of a morganatic union. Of tho family
which the present revolutionary move
ment has driven away from the cap
ital of Portugal thero are two mem
bers in whom tho succession would
be vested. The one of course is the
young King .Manuel, and the other la
his uncle, the Duke of Oporto, who is
unmarried. If both should die with

endure tho people might call the
