SURPRISE FOR ALL CONCERNED.
Convivial Russian Party Broke UP in
Some Disorder.

AS all the world knows, queer things
na?pen IN the land Of the cZar. There
are a grand duke and grand duchess
IN st. petersburg who do not refer in
private conversation to an incident in
which they both figured. A theatrical
company arrived in the Russian cap
ital from Eerlin. The leading lady
was pretty lG tie tenor was an
J.don1s. The grand duke and the
grand DUCHESS enjoyed the first per-
Srmance very much indeed. The next
afternoon the grand duke had an en-
GaSement and went alone to a first
G'@@s cafe in the city, where he was
Jc;ned by the leading lady he had
seen the night before. The cafe is so
trranged that it has number Of
small rooms facing central hall, at
the top OF which band discourses
sweet music. The grand duhe found
the actress beautiful, but lacking in
wit. He was having a stupid time and
enV1ed the occupants of the next room,
who were shrieking with merriment.
Il know what We'll do" his high.
ness finally said to his companion.
Lets go Into the next room. A party
OF four ought to be congenial"
But they may object" the actress
suggested.
"Oh, no, they won't. / am the grand
duke"
The couple walked into the next
room.
Tableau
TO the horror of the grand duke,
there was the grand duchess sitting at
& table with the tenor of the company
TO which the actress belonged. The
tenor looked at the actress with as
much ainazement as the grand duke
and grand duchess did at each other
shouting at the grand duke that he haG
tnsulted his wife (for this was the re-
latlon he had with the woman) he
rushed at him, and for a Jew minutes
th6re was great miXup in the little
room. The attendants hurried to the
scene and EDarated the combatants.
The tenor drove away with his wife
and the grand duke took the grand
duchess 10 their palace.
The next day the theatrical com.
pany lacked two of it's principals. The
tenor and his wife had been giver
passports early in the morning and
escorted to the train by the police.

Not one of those republics has the slightest need
