for the grand duke has been blind
for some time. Always renowned
for his high spirits. however. not
even this afiiiction has been able to
make him morose.
The royal couple were married at
the chapel OF buckingham palace, in
the presence of Queen. Victoria, the
late prince consort, the duke of
Cumberland and other members of
the British royal family. During
their earlier welded life the grand
duke used to be in London great
deal. when he and the grand duchess
lived at st. James palace in apart
ments set apart by Queen Victoria
especially for their use. At present
the grand duchess has a small house
of her own near buckingham palace
She is frequently in the metropolis
and is one of the ,Vt picturesque
figures in British soctVfy--as full of
spirits and energy as ever in spite
of her 81 years; a guest at nearly all
the big parties and receptions and
an indefatigable patroness of the
theater.

Telephone Strike
Situation Unclaimed

The working force on the lines of
the telephone company IL small. All
the union men are out and a number
of boys who have been getting cut
rate wages have considered II ia
their best interests to quit. 1t is I'M
derstood that the general foreman,
the foremen and even the manager
OF the phone company are looking
after the wires,
The country districts contiguous to
pkane are also affected by the
Strike and the linemen are out as
far as Republic. All along the line
to the California cities the men are
out and encouraging kilograms are
being received by the locals. Few
non-union employees are working on
the wires
Little information can be gained
from the union men. Neither side
has much to say. Comparatively nc
talk is INDUCED In. Each side Of the
controversy is keeping it's owr
counsel.
