SOME CHANGES IN PLANS
Grand Duke Vladimir to
Stay Away Because OF
Threats in Letters.

n other of the Duchess Cecile, whose
wedding TO the Crown Prince Frederick
will take place next week, will attend
the ceremonies In connection with the
marriage, which begin tomorrow.
The Empress, who is extremely strict
on questions of morality, does not like
the fature mother-in-law of her son,
who is a Russian grand duchess and
has all the gay characteristics OF Rus
sian grand ducal blood. Ever since the
belrothal of the crown prince 10 Ceciie
was announced there has been a series
OF quarreis between Anastasia and the
Kaiser and Empress.
Only for the fact that a scandal would
have been caused Anastasia would have
been peremptoriiy ordered not 10 attend
the wedding. It was hoped that the
grand duchess would respect the feel
fngs of the Kaiser and Empress and alb
sent herself, but she has determined TO
attend the wedding and will be toler-
ated.
Shocked the Kaiser.
When Kaiser Wilhelm and the En-
press paid a state visit TO SchWeTin, the
home OF Cecile, last fall, they paraded
their dislike TO the grand duchess os~
tentatiously. During the winter Anas-
tasia revenged herself by permitting her
daughter to visit the crown prince at
Florence. under the chaperonage Of sew
eraI court ladies' without taking the
| trouble 10 go 10 Florence herself. This
| unconventional act shocked the Kaiser
land Empress and the crown prince was
ordered to leave Florence
The Kaiser did not let the matter resi-
there. but communicated his dfspleasuT
/ tf, Anastasia. She retaHated :5y purehas-
ing the greater part OF her daughter
trousseau in France and there was ar
outerv in Germany against the Kaiser
! that he was permitting home industries
TO be reelected
/ A number Of other similar incidents
/ have added tc the feeling OF the Kaiser
! and Empress against the grand duchess
After the wedding the HehenzollerI
house will attempt to boycott the moth
i er of the future Empress
Changes Made in Plans.
Several changes have again been mad

mapped out for the young crown prime
and his bride. The young people ha'
asked TO be allowed TO spend tnel

in this paper in a recent issue, has
been quite largely copied by the

credit for the production to five hens,
instead of 54, as the original copy
stated. This startling announce

Basket BAH at Waterbury.

L. C. A. Basket Ball team went
down to Waterbury last Friday
night and played the high school of
that place. The boys here claim
they won the game by n score of 10
to 1S, tui this is how it was re-
ported to the Montpelier papers by
the people down there:
"The high school boys defeated the
Hyde Park team by a score of 10 to
II, in the second game. The game
between the boys teams was closely
contested from start to finish, one
basket that the home team threw
giving it the victory"
Whatever the result, the boys from
up this way speak very highly of the
generous treatment given them.
They we're given the freedom OF the
city" and for the time being were
"king pins" with the Waterbury
young ladies. So enamored did one
HYDE Park youth become with once OF
the fair damsels Of the asylum town
that he walked three miles with her
to her home in the direction of Hyde
Park and instead of waiting for the
team to come along walked back to
Waterbury for it. "Boys will be
boys" the world over.
Since the above was in type the
following letter has been received,
which as will be seen, gives the game
to our boys:
Waterbury, VT, Jan. %, '05.
MY DEAR FoSS IL knew nothing about
the report of the game in the Free Press until
Won mentioned it. | will have it rectiied.
The score may come out IS to II in the
Waterbury Record, but it will be in your
favor. l left it as decided it with the
editor but he thinks he had it inserted 1S to
II. This is the only account am response
BILE for but since you request it will write to
the Free Press and have the matter adjusted
satisfactorily to you, 10 to 8 is what it
should be of course. Very truly yours
