The Cav Grand Duke.

The Grand Duke of Hesse, whose recent
illness has been reported, and who is known
to fame principally because one of Queen
Victoria's daughters, long since deceased,
permitted him to become her husband, did
something about eight years ago which
caused him to be talked' about consider
ably. Nine Kalomine was the beautiful
divorced wife of Russian secretary of
legation at the Hessian capital. The grand
duke startled every one by marrying
Nina kalomine. After few weeks a
divorce was obtained, the ex-duchess re-
ceiving, in consideration OF her acqui-
escence, the title of Countess Won Romrod,
a lump sum of 100000 and a bond for an
annuity of s.. 900 for life.

the premises-called in vain for the
