BERLIN, Dec. 23-Tne ..Darmstadatter
Zeitung'' confirms the report that the su-
preme Court Of Hesse has dissolved the
marriage OF Grand Duke and Duchess Of
Hesse.
The ground for separation is incompata-
bility Of temper.
The Grand Duke and Duchess were mar
ried in 1886 and were estranged the first
year after their marriage, and all efforts
to bring about reconciliation haze been
futile.
A meeting was arranged for at the Hotel
Bayeriseherhof, Munich. early in Noveu-
Der, but instead Of reconciliation taking
place, a tremendous row resulted The
alarmed servants escaped into tie street
The Duchess positively refused TO re-
turn to Hesse, and writ of divorce was
soon after served on the Grand Duke
Both the Grand Duke and Duchess are
grandchildren of Queen Victoria, and dur

one time invited both to visit her in Eng

appointment of Mr. Payne Raises
Their Hopes.


WILMINGTON. Del, Dec 23.-Through-
out the Administration OF President Nc
KinIey the Posto9hee Department gave 10
encoara ragement to the Addfcks Republi-
cans IN Delaware While President Ne
KinIey personally made no expression OF
his preference Postmaster General
Smiths attitude was positive and OUT
spoken, and no Addicks Republicans
found any favor with him when postofiee
appointments we're pending, and the pos
tai appointments for Delaware were made
from the faction of the Republican party
opposed TO Addicks-
This tendency was manifested by Presi-
dent Roosevelt when he was called upon
to make an appointment for postmaster
for Wilmington, and he also made a dis
tinct anti-Addicks appointment when he
named Robert G. Houston for collector
OF the port Of Wilmington.
But the appointment Of Mr. Payne as
Postmaster General has raised the hopes
of the Addicks Republicans. Their joy is
based upon Two facts: First. that he is
a YractiaaI Politician" second, that as
chairman of the sub committee in charge.
at the meeting OF the committee during
the Republican National Convention OF
1900, he presented report favoring the
recognition of the Addicks faction of the
Delaware Republicans, and the adoption
of that report by +he fall committee open
ed the way for the admission OF the Ad-
dicks Republican delegates to the con-
vention. and the exclusion Of the delegates
representing the regular Republican fac
ton.
There are only few frst-cIass ap-
pofntments in Delaware, but a large num-
Der of fourth-class appointments which
may be made by the Postmaster General
or his assistants, without the interven-
tion of the President. Under the Payne
administration. the Addicks Republicans
hope for recognition in appointments to
the minor postofices of the State, the
positions that will bring them into the
closest touch with the people. They ex-
pect, therefore, substantial Strengthening
Of their factionaI lines.
