There was a gang Of Canucks at

there was the greatest honking and

contracted childless matrimonial alliance
with Princess Anna of SAVOY.
The Princes of Hanau, who have occasionally
visited the United States, whose names are
familiar IN this country as persistent sultors tor
the hands of American he1resses in Paris, are
sons Of the morganat1c marriage OF the laSt
sovereign Elector of Hesse The latter, IN
September, 1851, married the daughter Of a
Berlin liquor dealer OF the name OF Falkensteln,
wife of Captain Lehman of the Prusslan
army. Captain Lehman was induced to
submit to a divorce, and thereupon the Elector
married the woman He at once created her
Countess of Schaumburg and then Princess of
Hanau She was brilliant and fascinating
woman, and succeeded in winning the attec-
ton even of her son in law, Count lseburg, to
such an extent that he caned the Hessian Prime
Minister Baron Hassenpflug in the principal
street of Cassel for having ventured to advise
his sovereign to divorce his morganatic wife
and MARY Princess of his own RINK. in order
to furnish an heir to the throne
At the present moment there is only one
European ruler who has morganatic wife
namely. the octogenarian Duke of Sake
Meiningen, who for the last thirty-four years
has been exceedingly happily married to a
gifted German actress, Helen Franz, whom he
created Baroness Heldburg on the wedding
day. The difficulties in connection with pre-
cedence, and the reluctance of the Duke to
expose his wife to the slight of exclusion from
the honors accorded to him as a sovereign
have caused him to lead very retired life.

Lilley Just Wins Litchfield.

Litchfield, Aug 12.-The republi- can caucus last evening named four Lilley men as delegates to the coming state convention, but pulled through only by the skin of their teeth as the caucus had been little advertised and the anti-Lilley forces were assembled and prepared. AS it was the Lilley ticket won by three votes, the oppo- sition caucus being termed for caucus purposes Woodruff men. AS it was learned later, the anti-Lilley move ment started in Winsted where ex- Sheriff Nellis got friends of his to work gum-shoe campaign which came near being successful owing to the secrecy with which it was carried on and the over confidence of Con- gressman Lilley's friends. As 1t was the vote on the state delegation stood 23 to 20 and the figures might have been reversed had 1t not been for the energetic work of George c. Wood ruff.

Girl Who Was Parading in Boys
 Clothing,

Manchester, Aug 12.-Annie Me-
 Mahon. the Norwich girl, who was arrested Monday night while mas querading in boys clothes, was yes- terday afternoon turned over to F, E.
 Henderson of the Norwich police de- partment, who came to town for her. She was not brought into court here as Officer Smith had telephoned early in the morning to the Norwich police and they informed him that they held a warrant for her arrest and that she was under probation. Offi- cer Henderson arrived at 1 o'clock and when Annie was brought out she could not keep back a smile when she saw the surprised look on the officers face. She seemed to be willing to re- turn to her home. She said she had an aunt living at 10 Grand street, Hartford. and 1t was there she was making for when arrested. She still wore her blue trousers. gray waist coat and pepper and salt colored ox- ford jacket when she started home. Her shirt was of dark material and she wore a white collar and black tie and gray cap. Unless one was in- formed that she was a girl it would be hard matter to so determine by at her as she walked along. The shoes she wore she said she had secured while working on a farm, and she knew that if she wore the girls shoes which she started out with she would be detected.
