SHE COST A THRONE
Countess ostheim, Who Caused
Disinheritance of a Prince.
Took the Prize in a Beauty Show
and Then Was Dramatically Mar
rsed Is Practically All That
10 Known About Her.

London.-It may be, and prudent
persons declare it is, reprehensible for
man to cast aside social considera-
tons and family obligations fc: the
sake OF woman, but the world has a
weakness for that kind of unwisdom.
1t does not happen SO often, either,
that the spectacle becomes tiresome
So Count Ostheim, who is related to
most of the European royalties and
whose wife is now visiting this coun-
try, will not come in for so much
criticism as his somewhat varied ca
reer might justify.
Count Ostheim, before his family
disowned him, was heir apparent to
the Grand Duchy of Sake Weimar.
The romance of the disinherited
prince has been briefly told from time
to time in the news items, that gave
the barest outlines of remarkable
story. 1t centers around lovely wom-
an, late of the London Merry Widow"
company. When it is added that she
is an Italian, of that perfect type of
beauty which Cavalieri embodes,
there is perhaps slight explanation
OF her amazing career
Countess Ostheim, or Princess Her
mann of SaXe-Weimar, called herself
Wanda Lottero on the stage Maybe
it was really her name, and very like
ly it was not. She is a bright and
entertaining taike-, SO it is said, but
on one subject she is dumb, and that
is her origin. She is the daughter
of a Washerwoman, of a janitor, of a
ship merchant, of a Russian duke, of
king-anything you like to say
about her birth will find a certain
amount OF credence somewhere
All that is really known about her
is that she took q prize in beauty
contest in Milan as the loveliest wom-
man in Italy, and that she has had a
vast amount of admiration from dis
tinguished persons, eliminating in her
romantic marriage. She was given a
part in Edwardes' production of the
Merry Widow in London. She act
ed very we'll and she looked very
lovely. And the result was her mar
riage to young son of royalty and
his prompt election from the circle
of his family.
Turning to the hero. Prince Her
mann, the facts are easier to get. He
was born in 1856. His years have

Abbatemaggio's examination was in

whose business has increased 500 per
cent in one year as a result of knowl-

He followed the European custom, for
one thing, of failing to discount his

count. We taught him how to adopt
the American system and the result
has been to make him wealthy.
