GRAND DUKE CYRIL'S LOVE
STORY MAY END HAPPILY

ST. PETERSBURG, June s.-The
Grand Duke Cyril of Russia, who was on
board the battleship Petropavlovsk when
she was blown up before Port Arthur, is
the hero of an unhappy love story full of
strange features, but which, according to
unofficial rumor, is to terminate happily.
When boy of l6 he fell in love with
his first cousin, Princess Victoria of Sake
Coburg- Gotha, who is two months younger
than himself.
Grand Duke Cyrirs father Grand Duke
vladimir, is brother OF Princess Vie
toria's mother, the Duchess of Saxe-Co-
burg Gotha. Both Cyril aud Victoria are
thus closely connected with the leading
reigning houses of Europe.
Grand Duke Cyril is first cousin to the
ear and possesses an excellent chance of
succeeding to the Russian throne, from
which he is separated by three lives, none
of which would be worth much from the
point of view of an insurance company.
Princess Victoria is a grand daughter of
the late Queen Victoria, niece of the king
of England and also first cousin to the
car, besides being first cousin to the Ger
man emperor.
The boy and girl romance was regarded
with disapproval by the relatives on both
sides, and soon afterward Princess Victoria

was married to the Grand Duke Ernest
Louis of Hesse, six months before she eel
ebrated her 18th birthday. Grand Duke
Ernest Louis was eight years older than
his wife and the marriage was not a
happy one.
Grand Duke Ernest Louis is man or
grave, serious disposition, while the grand
duchess is gay, vivacious and fond OF

Husband and wife were estranged drift
ed farther and farther apart, until things
happened that made it impossible for them
to live together.
In 1901, seven years after the wedding
a divorce was granted on the ground of
mutual antipathy, with the stipulation
that their only child, Princess Elizabeth
should spend half the year with her father
and half the year with her mother
During these seven years Of his youth
and early manhood, Grand Duke Cyril
had remained true TO the memory of his
first love, and after the divorce had been
pronounced he renewed his attentions to

residence at Coburg.
Grand Duke Cyril paid court to the
beautiful Divorce assiduousy, and Grand
Duchess Victoria on her side fell in love
with her handsome young cousin. He spent
the greater part of his time at the little
court of Coburg and in the company Of
the divorced grand duchess.
Last autumn they were driving in mo-
tor car together and Grand Duke Cyril
was so engrossed in lovemaking that he

ANNIE WRIGHT
COMMENCEMENT

The commencement exercises of the An,
ME Wright seminary, which were held this
morning were among the most successful
in the twenty years history of the insti-
tuition. The hall was artistically deco
rated with festoons of evergreens and
ferns and banks of flowers covered the
stage.
The program was especially marked by
the beauty of the musical selections. At
the close of the program Bishop Keator
presented each member of the class with
IA small gold cross, as a reminder of the
happy days spent in the seminary.
One of the prettiest features of the oc-
casion was the presentation of a silver
loving cup to Miss Nellie Parker. She
was awarded this honor by a vote of the 50
pupils and IS members of the faculty, on
account of being the most obedient un-
selfish and courteous among the entire
class.

ran over and killed a poor peasant on the
high road.
Ii was about this time that he began
to advance the project OF marrying the d.
vorced grand duchess. aud he applied TO
the czar, as head Of the imperial family
for formal permission to make her his
wife, The ear, however, refused his as.
sent on various grounds.
The national church of Russia, the or.
thodoX Green church, prohibits the mar
riage of divorced persons, so that the
union would be an offense to all religious
believers in Russia. There were reasons,
too, of personal nature.
The c2arina is sister of the grand duke
of Hesse, so that she would not like to sec
her brothers divorced wife at the Rus.
sian court married to a Russian grand
duke, who stands good chance Of sue
ceeding to the Russian throne.
Grand Duke Cyril thereupon declared
that he would marry his cousin without
the assent OF the ozar il he could not oh.
tain the imperial permission to make her
his wife.
He declared that he was willing to sac
rifice his position, his right of succession
to the throne, and his property in Russia

face disgrace and exile for her sake, and

DEL|N STREET BRIDGE
IS REPORTED UNSAFE

Alarmed by what they consider an UNI
safe condition OF the street railway bridge

OF the South End have appealed to Com

]. street, with another resident from that
part of town. presented the matter to
the commissioner this morning. They
urged an immediate investigation by the
city engineer. aud We're assured that the
matter would be taken up at once.
1t is claimed that the foundation OF
the bridge has become defective through
exposure to the elements. A representa-
tive of the company recently examined
the bridge. and reportd that its condition
was such that a new bridge was necessary
Two years ago complaint was made that
the bridge was unsafe, and the street

local management, and instead OF being

rebuilt. some repairs made. This bridge
was built about IA years ago, and, as far
rs can be learned, no extensive repairs
have been made since.
SO widespread is the alarm over the
present condition of the bridge that many
people refuse to ride over it, The street
car company is not ignorant of the con-
dition of the bridge, or the feeling that
exists in regard to it, and as precauton-
AIRY measure has issued an order that cars
must come to a stop before crossing the
bridge.
All the heavy suburban cars on the lines
running to the south pass over the DeLin
street bridge. These cars are always
heavily loaded in the morning and evening,
and an accident would result in Sreat loss
of life.
The feeling over the reported unsafe CON
ditiOn OF the bridge is heightened by the
fact that serious accident occurred there
on the Fourth of July four years ago A
heavily loaded car from South Tacoma
jumped the track and fell into the gulch
killing 40 people and injuring as many
more.

( he begged her to consent to an early mar
riage.
Grand Duchess Victoria however, re
fused to accept these sacrifices, and with
a heavy heart told him that they must
separate.
Grand Duke Cyril remained firm, and
probably he would have persuaded the
grand duchess to marry him in defiance
of the car but for the sudden death of
her little daughter, Princess Elizabeth of
Hesse. Princess Elizabeth, aged eight,
had accompanied her father on a visit 10

fever. Grand Duchess Victoria was pros

there came the order, Fire by squad.
Some of the boys got ratified about that
time and, instead of facing to the front,
dropped on their knees just as they were

Here, what are you shooting that way
for?' shouted the inspector, and the boys
wheeled about and let out volley that
