A Discounted Grand Duke

DERHAPS the briefest morganatic union of
any European ruler In modern times was
that of the late Grand Duke Louis w. of Hesse.
1t lasted less than twenty-four hours. The
woman in the case was Madame de kolemne,
now the wife of Russian diplomat of the
name of Baron de Bacherat. She IS daughter
of the Russian Count Hutton Czapsk, and
when very young married Alexander kole-
mine, secretary of the Russian Legation at
Bern. There her beauty and f1irtations in
volved her husband in several duels, and IN
consequence thereof he was transferred to
Darmstadt
The Grand Duke soon became one of her
most enthusiastic admirers. Some years pre-
viously he had lost his wife, Princess Alice of
Great Britain, sister of the present King of
England, and was suffering from loneliness.
Very quietly he managed to bring about di-
vorce between Madame de kolemine and her
husband and the latters transfer to Japan
with the rank of Consul General. On April &c.
1884, the marriage of the Grand Dukes
daughter Princess Victoria to Prince Louis of
Battenberg took place at Darmstadt with
much pomp and ceremony, in the presence of
Queen Victoria, the late Emperor and En-
press Frederick, and the Prince OF Wales (now
King Edward).
Late that afternoon the Grand Duke him
self went through the ceremony of secret
and morganatic marriage with Madame de
kolemine.
1t was near midnight when the surprising
news was brought to Queen Victoria by En-
peror Frederick and the Prince. The Queen at
once summoned the Grand Duke from the side
of his morganatic bride to her presence, re-
preached him bitterly With the selection of a
woman of the character Of Madame de Kole-
mine as a successor to her favorlte daughter
Alice, denounced his action in marrying the
woman during her. the Queens. stay under his
roof as an indgnity. and threatened to leave
Darmstadt at once and to cut off all further
intercourse with the reigning house of Hesse.
