PRINCESS LOUISE
TO MARRY IN JUNE
Daughter of the German
Emperor to Wed Prince
August

Berlin. February l2.-It is understood
here that the marriage of Princess Vic
toria Louise. only daughter of the Ger
man Emperor and Empress, to Prince
Trnst August son of the Duke of Cum
berland, will take place in October next.
1t is assumed that the marriage will
be the first step toward placing the young
prince on the throne. of the Duchy of
Brunswick, since he will enter the Prus-
sian service and take the oath of al
legiance to the Emperor as King 70 Prus-
sia. This will probably be followed by
his formal renunciation of the throne of
Hanover. after his fathers death, or an
other solution may be reached by the
federal council resembling its vote making
the accession of the Duke of cumber-
iand to the Dukedom of Brunswick de-
pendent on the formal renunciation of
the head of the house TO the Hanoverian
throne.
The Duke of Cumberland is said fully
to approve of the betrothal.

"a good big house girl to use her own
words, her master, who was a soldier in
the war of 1872, was brought home
wounded in battle. Her Virginia master
was Berry Royal, who had son, Berry
Royal, Jr., that afterward emigrated to
Kentucky She says that Berry, Jr., was

Agnes Nolen, and lives on the farm OF

ander City. The Royal family, whose
slave she was before the war between
