ny THE COUNTESS OF DL.ANikslIl1sr,.
LONDON, June 6.--Anot Their instance
of the neradicable romance OF the
House OF Tuscany was seen In the
marriage Just celebrated at the regis
try Office at Nuremberg. The BRIDE
groom was Prince Victor OF Isenburs-
Birstein. whose mother was. sister OF
the Grand Duke OF Tuscany, and who
Is. therefore, first cousin to yrau To-
SELL and Leopold Wolning. while tho
woman to whom he was married was
Anna Rohrer, damsel OF unpreten-
tious II not actually OF humble origin.
She was the daughter OF doctor In
the little Bohemian town OF Shack
enwerth. Her fathers practice was,
like tht OF many another worthy coun-
try physician. not u particularly re-.
munerative one, and the present prin-
cess performed unalded all tho work
of the house.
1t was at Schlackenwerth. where the
princes mother had large estates. that
Viktor first met his present wife, and
fell In love with her when she was
little more than child. Els family is
understood TO have strenuousy op-
posed the match, but the Grand Duke
OF Hcsse who Is none tho less most
popular ruler in Germany because he
hobnobs with Socialists at his Parlia-
1nentary receptions. sought to smooth
the way for the young couple by en-
noblng the country doctors daugh-
ter with the title OF Baroness Won
Rombacll.
Even this. however, is not believed
to have removed all objections to the
union. which were probably all tho
stronger because tho backgrounds Ell
DER brother. Prince Karl, had already
set a precedent by marrying Miss Berta
Lewis, of New Orleans. In London, in
1895. Prince Victor, who is thirty-six
years of age. is brother OF the head
OF tho House OF Isenburg- Birstein
Royal Good Health.
The fact that Queen Alexandria is
suffering from cold serves to re-
mind me OF the really marvellous health
enjoyed by Her Majesty. With the
exception of one long and very severe
illness In the early days OF her mar
rled life. she seems to have escaped
most OF the ailments to which flesh is
heir She works as hard and goes
about as much as most women, but
remains impervious to Influenza, APP
pendicitis. neuritts and other all-too-
fashionable ailments OF the day to
which London society women and fem
mine members OF the royalty are adj
dicted.
The Queen can bear an amazing
amount Of physical fatigue. too. and
tramps after the guns in the fields
around sandringham with vigor un-
usual in women of her age, while she
| has the mysterious gift of looking
fresh as we'll as Immediately clean
at the end OF tho longest Journey by
sea and land.
Most women. for instance. would
have felt the necessity OF rest after
the journey from London to Copenha-
gen. but the Queen was in radiant
spirits and good looks at the dinner
/ given by King Frederick and Queen
| The ability to stand for hours at a time
without discomfort that is said to be
one OF the attributes of royal blood be-
{longs In full measure to Her Majesty.
\ The taunts directed at the Empress
Eugene by Princess Clotilde for her
failure to stand for more than half an
ihour at time led to some bad blood
| at the Tuilleries. Queen Alexandra
has, unfortunately, not bequeathed her
splendil health toHher daughters.
1t is thought that His Majesty will
| use Buckingham Palace grounds for
/ walking exercise more freely than In
/ recent years. The King has been find

| times during the spring, and Is more
