camp part of the time and others
spend several weeks motoring from
one watering place to another. Se%-- I
oral prominent society people wero
among the passengers booked on
steamers sul'lng for Europe last week,
ond tho middle of the month will find
lit lest a half-dozen parties having
town to spond the summer traveling
abroad. Richmond will bo very quiet,
and Informal and small functions will

There lire two delightful new roof gar- '
dens, and a few choir? spirits may

high living expenses here: but the man?

has overcome these great difficulties,
and tho normal is now successfully
launched. It contributes much to the

each year a strong faculty, whoso pres?

ing the students from the counties of
Wise, Scott, Dlckenson and l^ee. whose
zeal and earnestness in the pursuit of

COUNT DISAPPEARS
FROM COUNTRY SEAT
Found Wandering in Demented
State Near Cromford, in
Derbyshire.
BY LA MARCiUISE DK FOX Ui.NOV.
COUNT ALEXANDER von Wclsborg.
after disappearing more than a
month ago from his English i
country seat, Woollas Hall, near j
Worohcster. has Just been found wan- .
derlns In a demented state near Crom- ,
ford In DerbyslUre. Ho hna royal bloo<l i
In his veins and a most romantic his- j
tory.
His father was the lato Duke Ell- !
mar of Oldenburg, half?brother of the
lat* grandduke, and unole therefore of
the present sovereign ruler of that Ger?
man state Duke Hilmar was a most
gifted man. and there are many Get -
mans In this country who have laughed
to their heart's content at tlr^ne pop- '
ulnr forces which aro constantly ire- ?
presented on tne Teuton:: stage here'
as written by "H. Guehther," or by
"I. Meyer." tho two pen-names under
which he was accustomed to conceal
his Identity. j
Duke Ell mar served With distinction
In the war of 1866, and again In tha>
of 1S70; but was so horror-stricken by
the scenes which he witnessed on the
batlletiek'. that ho took a prominent
part in tho wurk of the International
I'enco Societies, several letters an?
pamphlet!, bearing his name and title
having appcarod In print on the sub
JedL
lake some other German royalties, he ;
sought beauty und charm rather than
rank when looking for a wife, ond In?
stead of marrying a Princess oi the
. Rl<:nd. contracted a perfectly valid
vcclesiasilciil unton with Natalie Vogel,
Who wbb of peasant birth and upon
whom Emperor Francis Joseph later
conferred the title of Baroness Vogei
von EV.esenhof. at tha pressing re?
quest of the duke.
During the la-Tt two decades of his
life, DuKo Ellmax, who died about
I eleven years ?-ao, resided with h!o
I wife and his only son at his beau
j Uful ohatouu of Eria. not far from
I Vlonns, e_-ul it soon beca^r.o a favorite
' resort for *v?T>*thlng that was most
j brtlllajit In art and literature In the
i Austrian capital. He was, however,
I never seen at court functions,
i At his death his nephew, the grand
I duke, bestowed upon Baroness von
Eriesenhol'a arm, (the grandduke's
cousin, therefore, and like htm a des?
cendant on the distaff hide of tr.e groat
Gustavus Adolph us of Sweden) the
' title of Count von Welsberg. under
which name ho received a commission
from ?te Kaiser in the Prussian Garde
I iiu Corps at Potsdam, and subsequent?
ly married a daughter of the well known
German racing man. Cour.t Krederlrk

of Llppo obtained from the Lipps Leg?

the Empire, and from a special trib?
unal presided over by the late King
Albert of Saxony, a dcree vesting In
him the sovereignty of the principal-j
lty of Ltppe. despite his morganatic
? ?ngln through nls American maternal
grandmother.
This led Count Alexander to put for?
ward elaltns to a place In the line of
succession to the Orandduchy of Olden?
burg. He put his Interests In the hands
of one of the most important law
firms In Oormany, which presented a
demand upon tho reigning grandduke
for recognition of their "client" as a
full-tledgod Prince of that Sovereign
House, entitled as such to a large .n
COhlO from the extensive family pro?
perty, and 10 a Civil List from the
State Treasury. The Importance 6l

by K?npcror William tho alternative
of eitLer withdrawing his ,:laim. or of
being placed on the retired list. He
chose the latter, and being subsequent?
ly defeated In all the actions brought
by his lawyers In support of his pre?
tensions, found it preferable to trans?
fer his residence to EnglanJ, since life
in Germany, with the Kaiser and ail
his relatives against him, was the re?
verse of ploasant.

Frlesenhof. who resides at her Hun?
garian Caatle of Brogyan. la the coun?
ty of Bars,
* It was to her that Duke Ellmar left
tho whole of his considerable fortune
at his death. The life of Count von
Wel-tberg In England has not been al?
together happy, aa he has failed to
"catch on" with the county noclety of
Worcestershire, where his residence Is
situated, and thin, together with the
: feeling that he was 1111 exile, unjustly
deprived of his lawful rights, seems
' to have preyed upon his n:and to the
, point of unbalancing it.

Danish days was born In the Nether?
lands, and the King whom she en
tntalled was King Christian II., who
nourished In the sixteenth century, and
was married to Princess Isabella Of
Austria, sister of Emperor Cnnries V.
Her luinio was less poetle, than thut
of her English prototype, being
"Dvyeke," which may Le translated
[ "Uttle dove," and she was the daugh
1 ter of a gigantic virago, "Vrouw"
i Sigbrit. a market-woman of Bergen.
! It was there that Dyveke Slgbrlt'a
i rare beauty attracted the attention and
won the heart of Prince Christian, then
Danish viceroy of Norway, and she
became his wife In everything but
? name, her strong minded mother living
In the palace with her, nnd acquiring
tho most extraordinary mastery over
i her left-handed son-ln-law.
In fact, when he became King of Den?
mark, Vrouw Slgbrlt became his prin?
cipal political adviser and virtual Pre?
mier, and ultimately ?he received the
control of the entire State finances, her
empire over Chrlstlun lasting for
years after her daughter's tragic death,
celebrated In the well known ballad,'
"Tlie King of Denmark's Ride."
Wh.n Christian was forced by his
people to give them a Queen, In tho
person of Isabella of Hapsbug, so that
the royal Hue might not full, it was
stipulated by the bride's brother.
Charles V. that there should be a
complete rupture of relations with
Dyveke. Christian promised, but mere,
lv transferred the residence of Vrouw
Slgbrlt and her daughter from the pal?
ace to Ute chateau of Hvldur, where
after his marriage he spent more time
than he should, almost completely ne?
glecting his bride.
Charles v. heard of this, and serious
complications were about to ensue.
when Dyveke succumbed to poison in
1517, In the gardens of her chateau,
Christian wns beside himself with
grief, and a number of people under
; suspicion Including one of the greatest
jnnd most Influential nobles of the king?
dom. Torberii Oxo by name, were put
to death with the uttermost cruelty'
Moreover, the loss of Dyvoke seemed
to de\elop all the savagery of Chris?
tian's nature, dormant till then, und he
seemed lo take n positive delight In
oppressing ills nobles, who attributed
every one of his harsh measures to the
Influence of "the toul-mouthed Dutch
sorceress who hath bewitched the
King." Ultimately he was driven from
the throne. Duke Frederick of Holstein
i>.-!nn elected in his stead, He sought
refuge In Holland, whither Vrouw SI?.
brit, laden with wealth, hud preceded
him. Deserted by her, he attempted
alter a few years of exile, to recover
bis throne, but failed, was taken pris?
oner, and spent the last twehty-soven
years of his life in captivity, first in
the Blue Tower at Copenhagen, and
afterwards In one of the dung, ons of
the Castle of Knbendborg, '.:>?> only

the buffoon of his court In happier
days, and who alone had been faith?
