KINGS DAUGHTER ISILL.
Princess Who Married the Duke of Fife
May Not Survive the
Winter

LONDON, Jan. 4.-Grave fears are
again expressed for the health of the
Duchess Of Fife, eldest daughter of the
King, who, OH the advice of physicians
has gone TO the south of Europe to re-
main until spring.
The Duchess of Fife has never been
very strong. A year ago last September
size underwent an operation as an out
come Of severe complications following q
chill. She has never entirely recovered
from the operation and it is an opeI
secret that her condition is now such
as 10 cause much uneasiness among hel
family and friends.
70 the public at large the Duchess
of Fife is almost a stranger. She is one
of the most quiet, unaffected, and un
iobtrusIve women in her fathers realm
She is devoted to her husband and two
little girls, and absolutely declines t
maintain any royal stare, taking thu
ground that when she became the wife Of
the Duke of Fife she became freed from
all the etiquette by which royalty il
.environed, and at liberty to enjoy life
as devoid of all restraint as any ordinary
peerless.

Il am satisfied" said Judge Wood,
that the course taken by the district at

taken in the matter.
Il have watched the evidence carefully
so far as the connecting and corroborating
evidence under the statute was con
cerned, in its application to this de-
PENDANT, and there has certainly nothing
developed in the two cases that would
justify the court in submitting the case
against him to a jury unless there was
considerable additional connecting testi-
mony to that which has been shown in
the two cases that have been tried, and
for that reason the case will be dismissed
and an order generating the bail of the
