HOLLANDS QUEEN
PHYSICAL WRECK
Brutal Husband Blamed for
Her Condition.
LEADS A MISERABLE LIFE
Young Monarch, According to Report,
Looks Fifteen Years Older Than
She Should.
LEADS A MISERABLE LIFE

LONDON. Aug. 2s-Pathetic stories
are being told by officers of the
British fleet. which recently returned
from Gmuiden, of the change that has
come over Queen Wilhelmina. OK Hol-
land The pretty, happy young monarch
OF three years ago is now a sad. care
worn woman. looking fifteen years older
than she is.
While Holland is disappointed that the
Queen has no heir, II feels the deepest
sympathy for the young ruler, whose
unfortunate marriage has wrecked her
life. They no longer speak of her as
the pretty Queen.
Brightness Has Disappeared.
Her round. rosy cheeks have followed
and paled. the brightness has disap-
peared from her eyes, and in it's place
an expression of weariness. of incura-
bic unhappiness. gives the close observer
tie idea that she is a physical wreck
merely existing.
Perhaps no Queen ever entered upon
her career with more promise than did
Hollands fair ruler. Her marriage was
loved her. and there was little. III any
dissension at court.
Holland had long wanted a male heir
TO the throne. and when il was an
nounced that Wilhelmina was to become
a mother there was Joy and feasting.
But the Inflated Queen was destined
to disappointment in her desire to please
her subjects.
Following a violent quarrel with her
husband. Duke Henry of Mecklenburg-
Schwerin. in which he is accused of
brutal conduct, the fair Queen became
violently Ill. and Holland soon knew
that Its hopes on an heir had been
dashed.
Prey of Money Lenders.
Holland forgave its Queen. but not her
consort. Before his marriage Duke
Henry had set fast pace. and fell into
the hands of money lenders. Ii was his
effort to compel her to settle his debts
that led to what nearly proved fatal
quarrel. She has never fully recovered
from the shock.

NEWPORT. Aug. 2s-Charles Gross,
alias Robert Rouss, alias Grady. a
cripple. who was arrested in Albany
Friday. will be brought here to answer
to charges OF forgery.
The papers would have been signed
Saturday. but for the fact that Cover

Broadway and one on Spring street for
the sale OF notions. and paid for every
thing by checks drawn on the First Ma

vorces granted were upon the wife's
petition.
1t is interesting to note further that
there were four divorces before the
married life had lasted six months and
twenty-six before one year. The largest
number of divorces granted was after
Ninety-five were divorced after from
twenty TO thirty years OF married life
and twenty-seven after more than
thirty years.

SELECT new SITE
FOR FREE BRIDGE
Joint Special Committees Agree
Unanimously on Fifteenth
Street.

The Joint Committee named from the
Street Committee of the cities Of Rich
mond and Manchester have unanimously
agreed upon site for the proposed free
bridge, otlRer than the old Mayo bridge
site which was heretofore tacitly agreed
upon.
The new site includes Fifteenth Street
on the Richmond side. and into Hull
Street In Manchester.
The committees were accompanied by
the City Attorneys and City Engineers
OF both cities, and they were agreeable
to the new project.
The site Is considered far preferable to
others thought Of, and those In Il position
to be well posted think it will be adopted
and the bridge built in reasonably
short while.
There will be net saving Of about
s1b0.oV over the Mayo bridge proposition
The cost OF the bridge and site at this
point was estimated at s35o.O0; while at
the one just chosen. It will be approxi-
mately only $4,000. IT is commended, too,
that the bridge will be a better one, as
the approaches can be made wider, and
much more convenient.
II the two cities should adopt this site
through their Councils finally and build
the bridge, as now seems likely. It will
mean the paralleling Of NIayos bridge.
Among the reasons actuating the COM
,nittee in choosing the Fifteenth Street
site, was that tle price. asked for the old
bridge and size WI, s. considered too high.
