This was done in the absence of Mr..

that the additional work had been
done by the mistress's orders. There

strike blow and before Pelkey could
rush him the champions body stiff

his frame becoming rigid. He fell
with his head bent forward, his fore
head striking the canvas a glancing
blow. Doctors, hurriedly summoned.

FOR WORLD PEACE
KING GEORGE SOUNDS FIRST 20.
LITicAL NOTE OF ROYAL
VISITS TO BERLIN.
KAlSER's DAUGHTER A BRIDE
Princess victoria Louise Is Welded 70
Prince ernest August, Who Be-
comes Ruler of New State Created
by Emperor William.

Berlin, May 26.-"The preservation
of peace is my fervent desire as II
was the chief aim and object of nv
dear fathers fife," declared King
George of England Saturday at a
luncheon given by the British ambas-
sador to the members of royalty who
were assembled here to attend the
wedding of Princess Victoria Louis,
Emperor Williams only daughter. and
Prince Ernest of Cumberland.
This is the first political note
sounded during the wedding ceremo-
MES Of Emperor Williams only daugh-
ter, for which three emperors and
many princes are gathered The
kings words seem, according to the
opinion expressed in influential cir
cles, to epitomize the chief signif-
canoe of the royal visits as demon
stration of the peaceful and friendly
relations among the three powerful
dynasties
Love and diplomacy entered into
the marriage Saturday of Princess
Victoria Louise and Prince Ernst Au-
gust.
In brilliancy and in point of the
great number of royal personages
present the nuptials far outshone any
similar event during the past decade,
Kings, monarchs of lesser rank and
crown princes and princesses saw the
fair-haire6, blue-eyed twenty-one-year-
old daughter of the German kaiser
become the wife of the strapping
twenty-six-yearold prince, and with
the ceremony was healed a breach
between the houses of Hohenzollern
and Guelph which had existed for
about half century. The ceremonies
really began Thursday, with the mar
riage ceremonies Saturday as the eli
max. The civil ceremony took place
in the new marble palace at Potsdam:
the religious rites were celebrated in
this city.
Princess Victoria Louise had for her
of her own caste in Europe. They
were Princess Mary daughter Of King
Charles of Roumania; Grand Duchess
Olga, eldest daughter of the car OF
Russia, and Princess Yolanda of Italy
AS would be imagined, the wedding
gifts are almost fabulous. Their value
is estimated at close to $3,000,000
The kaiser was so glad that the old
quarrel with the house of Guelph was
settled that, after the marriage had
been arranged. he promised to create
new German state and make the
groom the ruler of it. Accordingly
Prince Ernst became the duke OF
Brunswick and the grand duke OF
Luneburg.
