Bears the a Kind You Have Always Bought Signature of PRINCESS OF WALES LEAVES HER HUSBAND. Seeks Shelter Under the Roof of Her Father, the King of Denmark. Lady Brooke, the Most Fascinating Weman in England, the Cause of Scandal. London, Aug. 3.—Again the Prince of Wales is the central figure in a scandal that taints British roy- alty. The Princess of Wales has “left her husband” and seeks shel ter under the roof of her royal father the King of Denmark. All the world knows, the Prince has been an invalid for the past few weeks, suffering from a broken knee cap. He is now on board his yacht at Cowes, and for some time the Princess has been devoted in her at tention to her ailing spouse. But it seems that he has tired of these attentions, and learning of the pres- ence of Lady Brooke at Cowes he invited her to spend a few days ou his yacht. All Eogland knows the aversion in which Lady Brooke is held by the Princess of Wales Never since the baccarat scandal has the Princess condescended to meet or even netice the woman whose name was so closely linked with that of the Prince in that ecan dal. As sconas the Princess learned that an invitation to visit the yacht had been extended to her rival, she immediately set out for Copenhagen. An attempt has been made to hush the matter up by giving out that the departure of the Princess was due to the sudden illness of her mother, the Queen of Denmark. But this statement is not credited. egrams have been received in Lon don stating that the Queen is in per fect health. About a year ago the announce- ment was made that Lady Brooke, | the “Babbling Brooke” of the great} baccarat scandal, the woman who had beeu more gossiped about than | any other in England, had resolyed to devote the remainder of her life! to works of piety and philanthrophy and turn ber back upon the frivoli- ties of society. Jn 1891 Lady Brooke attained a} notoriety which made her the theme fer unpleasant gossip far and near. | It was she who sprung the Tranby Croft mine and brought about the | great baccarat scandal in which the} Prince of Wales was shown up far an expert gambler, : a Gordon Cummings was Tel an Sir Wil publicly aced. | li Eng wondered how the} andal got o Finally, it appear- ed thatthe Prince of Wales had y told Lady Brooke of acd that Lady Brox wishing to reve Gordon Cum operly to apprec not the lady had evince. Accordingly one even- e little time after the Tran- g by Croft episode, when Lady Brooke | met Sir ¢ ion Cummings at an} evening function, she asked him! with characteristic frankness: “Are| you more successful in love than at! cards these days?” Then she teld it to her friends m.|four years ago when their became and they told it to When these facts long before the trial had re t e utter disgrace of a bril , Lady Brooke, was accorded the title of “The Bab- bling Brooke.” wide far and The Princes devotion to the charming Countess bas been a mat- ter of public comment for years, and the cause of many heartburnings to hie wife. After years of forbearance she asserted herself in such a man- ner that the gay Prinee saw it would be well to L care. About the Countess gave the historic faucy dress ball at ; Warwick Castle, the Princess, who was abroad at the time, announced that if the Prince attend-| ed the ball she should indefinitely | remain in Ruesia. As a matter ef fact she hid not consent to return to} Eoglend until she was officially ia- formed that the Prince had sent hie regrets to the Countess of Warwick. Lady Breoke is as clever as she is beautiful. It has been whispered in England that were it not for the fear of the great influence of this one woman over the future King, the Queen would gladly abdicate her throne to her son. As Frances Evelyn Maynard, daughter of Col. Maynard, the Countess was one of the richest heiresses in England. When she was presented to Queen Victoria in 1879 the sovereigu declared her to be faultlessly beautiful. In 1881 she declined the honor of becomiog a member of the royal family by an alliance with Prince Leopold, Duke of Albany, and accepted the hand of Lord Brooke, a son of the Ear! of Warwick. Later the Earl died and his title descended to the son, but bis wife is better known as Lady Brooke than as the Countess of War wick. | Shortly after the exposures of the baccarat scandal, Lord Brooke threatened to bring divorce proceed- ings egainst hie wife because of her intimacy with the Prince of Wales. The English people are not aston- ished, although they may be grieved as well as scandalized by the fact that Wales and wife are at outs again. The Prince’s career has been @ succession of scandals and adven- tures. Since the earliest youth he has been “one of the boys,” and his only thought has been of a good time. In 1891 Sir Charles Mordaunt brought suit for divorce against his wife, Lady Mordaunt, and the Prince of Wales was named as co-respond- ent. The Prince, unable to ignore the case, came foward and testified un- der oath. But the questions, none of them were to the point, and his asseverations of innocence won the congratulations of the judge, who told him that he had perjured him- self like a gentleman. But the British nation applauded and declared that the Prioce had cleared himself of all suspicion. It has been charged by Sir Charles| Mordaunt that Albert Edward bad made cladestine visits to his house. i On this the Prince was not ques tioned. Sir Charles has also pro-| duced a packet of letters from the| Prince to his wife which he had| found in her desk after her confes- sion. | The Lady Mordaunt case was not jthe first in which the Prince of | Wales was involved, although it was | |the firstin which the accu Sations | were made definite. Just before that the jolly Prince had enjoyed) himself with a certain member of} the French court, a female member | of the tinsel aristocracy which dis | graced France during the third em- pire. This lady app eared one night | at a court ball as an angel, arrayed i »stume which left no doubt of ave a little positively was announced that she would ap- pear in a tableaux as the naked nymph.

C Aug. 3 The naval officials are considering the formation ofa big squadron to be stationed in European waters after the war is over. The intention is to} make the European squadron much stronger than ever before Just be fore the war began all the Americen warships were withdrawn from for- eign stations, except Asiatic squad- ron, for service in the Weat Iadies, and since then the officials have not bad time to bother about resuwp tion cf nayal representatioa in alien waters In late years the European station has dwindled in importance for the United States, untilonly three ships, none armored, were kept there. The navel official have begun to talk over the character of the new European squadron and have practically reach- ed the conclusion that a strong and formidable ferce should be sent there,not because of any likelihocd of trouble with European natiops, but to show the people over there the ships that whipped Spain's navy. The squadron will probably cousist of at least two battleships, au arm- ored cruiser and other vessels. Champion Shot of the World.
