AFTERNOON
Daily inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1881-1901, 1899-02-18

Princess Marguerite of Orleans. for the
sake of two demi-mondaines, Emilienne
d'AiencOn and Lame de Pougy. Princess
Marguerite afterwards married the Duke
of Magenta, the son of General Mac
Mahon. The French pretender became
the husband of the A%rchduchess Marie
Dorcthea Amelia of Austria, but the high
spirited little princess of the house of
Hapsburg has objected so seriously to
the brutality and c~oarseness of her hus-
band that the infelicities of their life have
long been public property.
The jilting of Princess Elsa of Wurtem-
burg by Prince Alfred of SaXe-COburg
GCtha. the grandson of Queen Victoria,
who died on February 6, was a most UNI
pleasant experience for the young prin-
cess, but since the princes disgraceful
connection with the gambling scandal in
Berlin and his more recent incarceration
III the insane asylum at Martinsbrun, his
mine wrecked by his rapid pace through
all kinds of excuses, she has probably
come to the conclusion that fate was more
kind to her than she had at first imagined.

who was the granddaughter of a hotel
waiter.
From father to son this ability to feel
affection for a woman of humble birth de-
scended, for the story of the romantic
marriage of the last Prince Alexander of
Battenbcrg to the lovely opera singer,
Marie Leisinger, is of too recent occur
renee to Ia been forgotten. Prince
Alexander was engaged to be married
to the Princess Victoria, sister of the
present German emperor. 1t was thought
that the couple were extremely fond Of
each other, but even the prospect of be-
Coming brotler-in-laW to the erratic Will
liam could not hold the affections of the
Battenberg prince, who deserted and
snubbed Princess Victoria in order that
he might marry a descendant of the Ty-
rolese peasantry, the daughter of a Pres
burg boarding house keeper, who had at
tracted his attention by the marvellous
melodies that were carrying Paris and
Berlin by storm.
Princess Mary, the cousin of Queen Vic
toria, who is sincerely mourned in Eng
lane as the late Duchess of Teck, was
once Tilted by the Prince Of Orange. At
the time of the engagement the prince
was most desirable as a husband, but as
the time for the marriage approached he
became involved in a series of scandals
in Paris that placed him in a most I'M
saVory light. Not having the courage to
face the eXacting queen and his VirtuOus
fancee. he briefly announced that his en-
gaeement with the princess was at an
end. She subsequently married the Duke
of Tcck and became a faVOrite figure in
the royal circles of England.
The jilting of princesses has been one of
the f]avorite occupations of the French
pretender, the Due d'Orleans. 1t woul
not be easy to say just how many of the
royal damsels of Europe hay felt the
sting of the dukes Inconsistency, but the
most shameless experience in his career
was his brutal jilting of his cousin,
Daily inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1881-1901, 1899-02-18

the jilting. The record of his love affairs
makes an interesting illustration Of the
instability of royal affection, for Umber-
to's son was engaged to several of the
eligible young women Of Europe, includ-
ing the daughter of Saxe-Coburg Gotha
and the more domestic Princess Maud of
Wales, before he met the desirable young
woman who may one day become the
queen of Italy.
The royal house of Bavaria has had
more than it's share of these illuStra tons
of the INCONSISTENCY of royal hearts. Many
years ago Princess Helene of Bavaria
was affianced to Francis Joseph of Aus
tria. She was sincerely fond Of her lover
and was educated with the distinct view
of becoming Empress of Austria. There
was no reason why the young nan should
not have kept his promise, save the one
to him all important reason. Just as the
long-standing engagement was about to
be contaminated, Frances Joseph met his
1ancee's younger sister, Elizabeth, with
whom he Immediately fell violently in
love. Princess Helene was forgotten and
was left to nurse an almost broken heart
While the OUNCE and more beautiful
sister, who was recently murdered by the
anarchist, Llcchinl, assumed her posi-
ton at the head of the house of Austria.
The story Of the sad fate of the Duchess
q Aiencon, who met a terrible death in
the Paris charity bazaar fire. ended a ro-
nance that at one time was the sensation
of all Europe. The Duchess d'Alencon
was formerly the beautiful Sophia of Ba-
varia, and in 1867 her cousin, the mad
King Louis, fell in love With her. His
was a life full of excuses. but he reached
his highest note of rapture in his love for
this beautiful girl. A marble bust of her
was enshrined i'll his palace and each day
he surrounded it with banks of the rarest
e~XoticS. He had thousands of pictures Of
her printed. beneath which were en-
graved the WORDS, sophia. Queen Of Ba-
Varia.' These were to be distributed
throughout the kingdom on the day Of
their wedding. Suddenly there was a re-
Vulsion in the fantastic mind of the al
ready half mad monarch.
