Prince IF Monaco.
THE reigning prince of Monaco has
been another center of matrimonial
complications. His first wife is still
living, her marriage to the ruler OF

been annulled by the Vatican, though
the papai decree simultaneously pro-
nounced that her son was in every
sense of the word legitimate. Princess
Mary, whose mother was a princess of
the reigning house of Baden and
whose father was the English duke
of Hamilton, as forced by her kins-
and guardian, the late Emperor Ma
poleon, to give her hand in marriage
to Albert of Monaco. The latter
showed himself singularly neglectful
and unkind husband, and her life at
Monte Carlo became so intolerable
that she took to fight, carrying her in

at Florence, where the Italian police,
acting on behalf Of the prince, made
sensational attempt to take the boy
away from her. The plot was frus-

Russia, who took mother and infant
under protection and defied the Ital-
ian authorities to cross the threshold
of her residence. Today Princess
Mary is the wife of Count Tassilo Fes-
tetics of Tolna, one of the magnates
of the Austro-Hungarian empire, and
occupies an excellent position at the
court of Vienna.
Prince Albert married again, the
next princess of Monaco being an
American girl, q daughter of the New
Orleans banker Michael Heine. His
second matrimonial venture, however,
turned out as unfortunately as the
first, for judicial separation has re-
Gently been arranged between the
prince and the princess, each having
many charges against the other.
In Russia and in Germany.
"All the younger married couples
of the imperial family of Russia are
living happily together. But the white
haired widow of the late Grand Luke
Constantine, grand-uncle of the pres
ent car, spent the greater part of her
life apart from her husband, one of
the most brilliant and accomplished
men of his day. 1t was solely owing
to the influence of his brother, the
Emperor Alexander H., that the scan
dial of a divorce was averted. Con-
stantine's other brother, the Grand
Duke Nicholas, likewise made no
pretense of living with his consort,
who, forced by his behavior to leave
his roof, took up her residence in a
convent at Kieff
THE existence of Princess Your
ieffska and the presence at the court
of st. Petersburg of the handsome
children whom she bore to the EN-
peror Alexander ii. constitute incon-
vertible evidence of the fact that he

four years of her marriage,
THE reigning houses of Germany
have been peculiarly prolific in di-
vorces and separations. One of the
princesses of Prussia. Louise by
name, is divorced from Prince Alexis
of Hesse. She is now a woman of 70
and makes her home at Wiesbaden.
Her brother, Prince Frederick
Charles, the celebrated general, to
whom belongs the credit of the cap
ture of the French stronghold of Metz
in 1870, spent a considerable portion
If his life apart from his wife, who
was only dissuaded from obtaining a
divorce by the old Emperor William.
Prince Albert of Prussia, now re-
gent of Brunswick, spent a singularly
unhappy boyhood, owing to the
troubles between his parents, which
eliminated in a sensational divorce.
After the dissolution of the marriage
his father contracted a morganatic
alliance with Mile. de Rauch, by
whom he had number of children.

Sorrows of Humbert's Sister,
The late king of Holland lived only
few years with his first wife, Queen
Sophia, one of the intellectual prin-
cesses of the reigning house of Wur-
temberg, their union having been in
every sense of the word a marriage de
CONVEYANCE politique. The same may
be said of the match between the late
Prince Napoleon and Princess Cloth
ilde, sister of King Humbert of Italy.
There was no pretense of affection in
the latter union, which was contracted
solely for the purpose of consolida ting
the alliance between Italy and France
on the eve OF the war with Austria in
