ROYAL DUCHESS DEAD.
Mother of the Future Queen of
England.


England.
RICHMOND, England, Oct. 27-The
Duchess of Teck cousin Of Queen Vic
toria, sister of the Duke of Cambridge,
and mother-in-iaw of the Duke of
York, died at the White Lodge here at
3 o'clock this morning. She was born
Nov. 81, 1888, and was married on June
II, 1885, to Prince Francis, Duke of
Teck eldest son of Prince Alexander of
Wurtemburg), who was born Augp. u,
1897
The death of the Duchess Of Teck
was entirely unexpected. 1t was sup
posed that she had entirely recovered
from complaint which caused her
considerable suffering. During several
days past active preparations had been
on foot for the opening of a charity
baZar, at Richmond, the duchess hav-
ing promised to be present at the cere-
mony. The streets have been in pro-
cess of decoration and the bazaar it
self was approaching completion.
Everything possible was being done to
make the bazaar a memorable event
and to do honor in every way possible
to her royal highness.
Inquiries made today at the White
Lodge, the residence here Of the Duke
and Duchess of Teck, show that it was
the north a few days ago that there
were slight symptoms of a recurrence
of the strangulated hernia, for which
she sustained an operation in
July last: but it was not expected that
any serious consequences would -enSue.
On Monday, however, the duchess be-
came i'll, though even then no serious
symptoms were observed. But on Tues
day she became worse and the London
specialists who had previously oper-
ated on her, were SummOnd to Rich
mond. They held consultation and
decided last evening that the life of
her royal highness could not be sus-
tanned without another operation. This
was successfully performed, but the
duchess gradually sank and died at
o'clock this morning. The Duke of
Teck is Frustrated at the death of his
wife The Duchess of York was the
only member of the family present at
the death of the duchess, as until late
last night fatal consequences were not
expected. When the condition of her
royal highness grew more serious her
relatives were hastily summoned and
they have been arriving all the morn
ing.
The Duke and Duchess of Teck had
four children, Of whom the eldest, Prin-
cess Victoria Mary, born May 26, 1873,
is the Duchess of York. The Duchess
of Teck was the daughter Of the Duke
of Cumberland seventh son of George
III. She was eighty-five years of age.
Her husband, the Duke Of
Teck, who served in the Aus
trian army, was captain dur
ing the Austro-Italian campaign OF
1859, was mentioned in dispatches for
gallant conduct. but resigned after the
campaign in 1866. Subsequently he
served with the British forces In
Egypt, in 1882, for which he received
the Egyptian medal and the Khedive's
star; was mentioned in the dispatches
and was promoted to the rank of col
onel, unattached. The duke Is honor
airy colonel of two British infantry
regiments and president of the Royal
Britannia Society Of London.
An official statement has been issued
to the effect that the Duchess of Teck
died of cardiac failure, two hours after
the operation which was performed
upon her.
