Indigestion Is most always followed ny

There is no use calling It dyspepsia, and

cured indigestion disappears. and there Ii
no more dyspepsia Taking artificial d.

circumstances which lead to the belief
that this interesting royal wedding
is extremely likely.
Above all. 1t must be observed that
the official papers have published the
news. In the second place, Dona Maria
Christina is extravagantly fond of her
sister -in-law, the Infanta Dona Paz.
Without going so far as to say that she
does not also love her other relatives,
the Infantas Isabel and Eulalia, still 1t
is we'll known that she is not satisfied
with the manners, tastes and conduct
not always very correct-of these dis
tinguished personages. On the other
hand, the severe queen mother is filled
with admiration for the irreproachable
life of the Princess PaZ, who, besides
being a model wife and good woman,
has a superior education and Is pas
sionately fond Of that medical science
to which her Bavarian husband has
dedicated his life.
"If 1t were not for thee, should al
most doubt that any woman of unblem-
ished honor could descend from the
family of the Bourbons!" Queen Chris
tina remarked on day to Dona PaZ, evil

the ex-Queen Isabel III. and her daugh-

this may be added the great love which
the queen has manifested for the three
children-two boys and one girl-of the
virtuous infanta. She has often in
vited these youngsters to Madrid and
frequently sent them magnificent gifts.

1901, the distinguished relations of the
grand ducal couple managed to keep
them together but then came their di-
vorce and there never was any pos
sibility of a reconciliation.
Should the Grand Duke Cyril of Rus
sia marry the Princess Victoria, all
sorts of embarrassing complications
are expected. In continental diplo-
matte circles it is expected that the
cZar, following precedent In the cases
of grand dukes who have married con-
trary to the imperial wish, would ban
ish his cousin from his domain, an act
which would result in making him an
outcast also from the other great
courts Of Europe. Even did not Nicho-
las II. adopt such q measure, how
ever, the couples position would not be
particularly pleasant, for the princess
former husband, the Grand Duke of
HeSSe, has two sisters at the Russian
court-the czarina herself and the wife
of the Grand Duke Serge-both of whom
certainly would boycott their brother s
divorced wife. The atmosphere at the
court of Emperor William probably
would be uncommonly frosty, too, for
another sister of the Grand Duke of
Hesse is Princess Henry Of Prussia
wife of the kaiser's brother, who re-
Gently visited the United States. AT
present, the Grand Duke Cyril Is one OF
the most brilliant figures In European
royal circles, and much curiosity is
felt as to whether he will to a great
extent forfeit his position in order to
marry the woman to whom he is re-
ported to have given his heart.
1t was the Grand Duke Cyrils young

the guests invited to meet their maJes-

BERLIN, Jan. 30.-No royal woman
in Europe is the object of so much
speculation at present as the Princess
Victoria Of Sake -Coburg- Gotha, for
mer Grand Duchess of Hesse. This Is,
of course, on account Of the recent an
nouncement that the divorced princess
is about to marry the Grand Duke
Cyril of Russia, step that might re-
suit In her eventually becoming czar-
ina. Three lives only stand between

days-that of the czar's brother, Grand
Duke Michael, who Is the reverse of
robust, and that of Grand Duke Cyril's
own father, the czar's uncle, Grand
Duke Vladimir, who Is getting old.
This regal-looking woman who may
yet be empress Of all the Russias is,
of course. an English princess. She
was the second daughter of the late
Duke of Saxe-COburg, own brother of
Edward VII, and was married to the
Grand Duke of Hesse in 1894. Never
were a couple less congenial, however.
The ruler of the principality of Hesse
and the Rhine is decidedly effeminate.
He does crochet work, and is devoted
to the piano. On the other hand, the
former grand duchess is as masculine
as she looks. Nearly all vigorous out
door exercises, particularly horseback
riding, appeal to.sher, and she was in

as her ducal husband was bored by

LONDON, Jan. 30.-Probably the
house party given at Chatsworth last
week by the Duke and Duchess of Dew
Onshire to the king and queen of Eng
land was the most regal that Edward
VII. and his consort ever have attend
ed. AS one of the richest and proudest
noblemen in this country, the duke
might have been expected to furnish
hts sovereign with an entertainment
that would surpass any ever offered
them before in a private way, but,
as Americans may know, there was
a special reason why the famous peer,
and his duchess, were prepared to do
their level best to give their loyal
guests such time" as they never had
in their lives before.
The king and queen were to visit
last year the most beautiful home in
England" as Chatsworth Is called, and
at that time festivities were arranged
only less brilliant than those which
just have come to an end. But then,
like the traditional thunder clap, came
the announcement that the royal visit
would not take place, the king being
inc isposed. Those on the inside
averred, however, that it was the queen
