Questionable as were the antecedents
of Nine. de Calomine, the divorced WHO
of the Muscoyite charge d'aifalrs at
Darmstadt. and the cause of any num-
Der of duels, those of Baroness Secken-
dorff were of an infinitely more stormy
character. While the former was d
lady by birth, the latter cannot lay
claim to any better title than adven-
turess. Heaven only knows how many
husbands she has had. The first was
| DR.. Stiefiler. the chief medical ofilcer
of the pretty little watering place OF
Steben. From him she obtained al
vorce and married an officer OF the name
Of Lieut. Won Zahlberg.
From him. too, she was divorced, ana
then she welded Capt. Baron Max Won
Seckendorff. an officer Of the first regl-
meut of foot guards and brother OF the
baron Seckendorff, who is grand mas
ter of the household to Emperor Will
/ Uam's brother. Prince Henry, OF Prus-
STA. This union did not last long lor
during the wedding trip hand-to-hahd
conflict took place between the Daroh
and his mother-in-law, who was assist
ed - his wife, which resulted III the
whole party being turned out of the no.
rel at Lindau on Lake Constance, Wnere
they were staying.
The baron did not find it difficult TO
secure a divorce, but unfortunately he
could not prevent the woman from con-
tinuing to bear his illustrious name,
one of the most honored and celebrated
| in Germany. Inasmuch as this re
NAMED her principal capital, she used

She could not succeed in obtaining ad-
mittance to any of the troupes main
tanned by the court.
Finding that. Notwithstanding her IL
tie. and her undenisbfe beauty, her
| funds were almost exhausted, she deter
mined upon a bold stroke. She went to
Ostend. where the half-crazy and sep
tuagenarian Prince of Alexander OF
! Prussia was staying, and taking advan-
tage of the illness Of his bear leader and
! chief OF household, the late Gen. Won
Winterfeldt, managed to scrape up an
acquaintance with the prince.
She soon became one of the most fire"
ouent guests at the Villa Mere, where
he was domiciled. and infatuated him
10 such a degree that, evading the vigil
lance of his suite, he contracted NOR
ganatic union with her. 1t was not dit
fcult for her to bring this about, mas
much as his lunacy takes the mild forn(
of proposing marriage to every woman
that he meets, be she young or old,
beautiful or ugly, noble or plebeian'
| married or single.

This marriage was as short-lived as
any of the others. For the baroness,
having been indiscreet enough to pub
fish the news in the Munich papers
In order to satisfy her intense craving
for notoriety, it was dissolved with the
same expedition that characterized the
annullment of the bonds that united
Nine. de Calomine to the late grand
duke Of Hesse.

the marriage invalid alike in his ca

brought on by the discovery of what

their failure to prevent so preposterous
a marriage.

which was allotted to Nine de Gallo
mine-has been figuring at the So
called Garden theatre Of Munich, utiliz-
ing the notoriety tina she gained in
connection with her whilom union to
Prince Alexander for all it is worth.
She is a particularly handsome bru-
nette who, however, has bleached her
hair, and whose manners are exceed
ingly distingue and reserved, which
adds piquancy to her attractions in the

cry reason 10 believe that the story

that he had stated nothing but the

AN ANCIENT SPUR.

Garcitas neighborhood Sunday,
and spent the day at the hos
pitable home of Mr.. Louis Pela.
While there, we were shown a
huge east iron spur, the wheel
points of which are fully four
inches in length. 1t was plow-
ed up in the field by Mr.. Pela
several months ago. and is an
object great interest to anyone
seeing it. Evidently it was worn
by some Spanish train captain
in the days when Texas was
under the Castillian dominion.
The spur shows many linger-

of much pride to the wearer.-

A RELIGIOUS WAR FEARED

4 RELIGIOUS WAR FEARED
City of Mexico, September 4.
There is some fear lest the
recent circular of Protestant
missionaries attacking the pop
ular belief in the Virgin of
Guadalupe may arouse the in
herent fanaticlsm of the Indians
who will flock into the city in
great numbers in October, dur
ing the coronation festivities.
The number is estimated as be-
ing from $4,000 to 100000.
Some Americans regret the &C
ton taken by the missionaries.
The belief in this appartition
to the Virgin Is shared by many
thousands ofupperclass people,
and there is certain 20 be deep
feeling aroused whan the mis-
sionaries begging to. circulate
their project daily paper devot-
ed to eradicafing what they
term as popular superstition.
Radical liberal papers ap-
plauded warmly the proposed
action of the missionaries and
are melting them to persist in
their course of disseminating
literature calculated to overturn
this ancient belief.
The Virgin of Guadalupe is
cherished her as much as Our
Lady of Lourdes" in France.
Miracles without number are
ascribed to her Intervention,
and there are but few Catholic
household in the country with
out her image. Evidently a
tremendous religious contro-
versy is in preparation.
LAREDO CLUSTER RAISINS.
Laredo Times.
The fact that F. NJ. Ramsay
today bought sixty fifty pound
sacks of domestic raisins grown
and cured at North Laredo is
significant to the profress being
made by our local prape grow
ers.
These raisins are pronounced
fine than any that are shipped
in from the outside and our
climate being such that these
grrpes can be dried in the sun
without any artificial apparatus
whatever, tells its own history
for the future. We predict that
thousands of dollars will be in
vested in vineyards in this
vicinity within twelve months.

The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1895-11-04

There is much speculation ia political
circles as TO what the result of the cleo
ton in New york VIII be tomorrow,
Tie democratic leaders are hopeful
OF carving the state. They are united on
the state ticket. ana have succeeded in
iarousing coed deal OF enthusiasm among
democrats voters. There are several
things tilat VIII help them greatly One
IS that the republicans have raised the
tax rato. ana another is that the republic
can platform calls for such an Observance
Of SUNDAY as is not at all satisfactory to
the beer drinking people. The sunday
question is likely to help the democrats
sroasly in The towns and cities.
New York is naturally "a democratic
state. When the democrats arc unitec
ana make a hard hsht they generally
WIN. They ore making a hard fight this
year, ana the chances for success are
greatly in their favor.
They win not carry the legislature, how
ever II They should have 5000 majority
on the state ticket the legislature would
DE against them. one reason is that un-
der the new constitution the state is so
districtcd as TO give the republicans a
great advantage. Another reason is that
I'm the cities the democrats are not united
in respect to legislative candidates. On
account Of their fractional differences the
democrats viii be defeated in some of
their strongholds.
1t is highly important, however, that
the dem c~rafie marty eboflId demonstrate
its ability to carry the state, because OF
the effect such a victory would have in
the presidential election next year.
In New York city Tammany is making
a great fight to get back into power. and
its prospects appear to be good for elect
ing its ticket. Still, there have been so
many changes for the better since Tam
many's defeat that Tammany is having
uphill work.
