DIVORCE FOR CROWN PRINCE.
Decree Granted by Special Court Sitting IN
Dresden.

Dresden Feb 1.-THE suit for divorce brought
l,v the Crown Prince against the former Crown
Princess Louise Of SaXony was resumed IN
camera to-day, and, after several doctors had
furnished expert testimony, a decree OF divorce
was granted. The decree reads:
The Ties of the marriage Of the parties are
dissolved on account % Ihe adultery OF the
respondent with NJ. Giron, teacher OF IAN
slIages. The blame attaches TO the respohuen''
Who is ordered to pay the cost of the proceed
ings.
Although the special court declined 10 take
Into account the contention of the former
Crown Princess's lawyers that she was deranged,
this theory is fully accepted by King George
Crown Prince Frederick and the Saxon Court
as the view to be put forth within the kingdom
i'm future and that reasons Of State required
the separation. The same reasons also require
that the people shall be brought TO believe that
the Princess acted in "a unroyal manner be-
cause she was dementeG. This legend Will be
1lourished until, so far>as Saxony is concerned.
If will become historic truth. The conduct Of
the Princess is considered by the monarchists
to he most destructive to respect for the crown.
and they claim that every care must be taken
TO gloss over her msdeeds.
Vienna, Feb. 11.-An interview with DR..
zehme OF Dresden, the lawyer of the former
Grown Princess Louise of SaXony. is published
here TODAY. After denying that Giron had been
paid TO break off his relations with the Princess.
DR. Zehme said GirOn mainly aCtuated by
personal vanity. The Princess. ne said. was
quite free at the sanatorium at Nyon, Switzer-
land. and was allowed to go on excursions 70
various places in the neighhorhood.
According TO the 'Zeit,' the Princess would
have left Giron when her brother, Archduke Jo-
sepi went to Geneva in an endeaVor to per
suade her 10 return but for the fact that the
French teacher threatened her with revolver.

The garden was the second great quad
rangle of the Vatican, planted with
shrubs and flowers under Plus TX, but
has been neglected for many years From
the outer courtyard one enters the larger
garden, but as this was constantly used
by the Pope, adnittance was gained TO it
only as matter of the rarest privilege
Pope Plus TX. used 10 ride here on his
white mule. Leo XIII. was very fond OF
visiting it and spending a great part Of
the hot summer days in its pleasant re-
treats. He built an observatory there
and equipped it and took great pride in
its vineyards.
Its woods in spring are carpeted with
violets and anemones. and the ancient
groves. interspersed with fountains and
statues, are a delightful example OF the
medieval Italian sylvan scenery. such as
might be seen in the Golden Age of the
Vatican, when Leo ". in the sixteenth
century, held his splendid court, the witty
and pleasure loving Pope making these
gardens the scene of his banquets and
concerts, while ladies admitted, as in
secular court, listened TO the recitations
of poets beneath the shadow Of the woods
