With but one step between him and the throne of England, I'rince George of Wales, so long known as the Duke of ork. at once loomsrhto more importance than he was hitherto in all his life, and since the world has had him under scrutiny some of the acts of his earlier years are being dragged to the light. TWO MARRIAGES. The old question "Has Trlnce George been wedded twice?" is once more on the lips of the people, and many recall tha scandal whispered when the Prince was we.dded to Princess May of Teck, in Lon don, Thursday, July 16. 1893, amidst great reoiclngs and with magnificent celebra tions. This was aiter the death of the Duke of Clarence, when It was assured that the young Duke was In the line of succession and upon the assumption of the throne by the then Prince Edward of Wales he would fall heir to the title. MANY RUMORS AFLOAT. During all the preparations for the wee ding; rumors were afloat In, Lbndon that Prince George had beetriarrled before! It was stated that foiin'or five years be fore the Prince' hadheen married by Ro man Catholic rites1 In a lrftle church In Malta 'and (.hat h bad openly-Bved with' his wife and " hacL Jjfher 't'wb: children. Long-odd bets wej?Jnige before the wedr ding of the PrihAr'd Prlncesa Mor that the marriage wojStty r never take place, but the matter was'finalty arranged and the nuptials were celebrated. ' - s THE LADY OF MALTA. There is much mystery surrounding the first marriage. The woman in the case was referred to as "the lady of Malta," by the "people of London, and it was stat ed that she was not only present at the state ball given in honor of the wedding of the Prlnee, but that she was also at Buckingham Palace during the week previous tq the wedding. It was stated that owing to -the royal marriage clause prohibiting a mettaber of the royal family to marry a coftimoner the woman realized that her- marriage contract was null and void. The Prince, when he made the con tract, thought his elder brother, the Duke of Clarence, would marry and produce heirs to the throne and felt that in this case his marriage with the woman of Malta would at least receive a quaat sanction, as In the case of several other such marriages. - LIVED OPENLY WITH WIFE. The unexpected death of the heir ap parent upon the eve of the wedding threw a different light upon the subject and at once made 1t necessary that the Duke of York should ally himself with some member of a royal family. The Princess of Wales made several long trips abroad with her son, and there' was much trouble and gossip" and. worry over the matter. The Prince, It was avered, had lived openly wtth the wife in Malta and In order to marry according to his rank He's Free Again. (Journal Special Service.)

PRINCE REFUSED. " . Be it said to his credit, the Prince dm murred and refused to give up His wlfa and children. Then it was that thfl stormy scenes wero enacted. ,Queen Vic toria Is Bald to have taken a hand In unraveling the difficulty and the Princess) of Wales also had great difficulty in bringing the trying incident to a satis- factory close. Great pressure was brought to bear upon the young man and it was; made plain to him that under the law! his first marriage had in reality been na murrluge at all. He finally gave in an dtr the Importunities of his mother anil the threats of hfs grandmother and his fi.ther and consented to marry his pres ent wife. ATTEMPT AT SUPPRESSION. Owing to the importance of the per sons Involved every uttempt was made ta hush up the scandal and keep It from the public. At thut time the name o the "ludy from Malta" was not divulged, and It might never have become known ta the world at lage but for a tragic oc currence In Uie Mediterranean Sea in) the latter part of June, 1S93. . LONDON STAGGERED. When London was gay'wlth the decora tlona for the coming nuptials, and while! the playhouses were opeft and state balls -were in' progress, the city awoke onei morning to hear of a frightful colllsslort betwoen the British b6t,tle1ilp Victoria, , flagship of .the Mediterranean squadron,, find the Ca'mperdowift The ships met in a terrible Impact at sea, 38 miles off Tri poll, and 400 Jives were lost. Vice-Ad miral Sir George Tryon, K. C. B., was cne, of tho officers lost. NOT AN ACCIDENT. " - Thero were many peculiar clrcumstan cos surrounding the collision, which Jed to a court-martial of the officers oom mandlng the Cumperdown. At that ln qulry It was stated by both Commander Hawkins-Smith and Lord Gilford th"t Admiral Tryon had said while the Vic toria was sinking thut the accident was his own fault. Further investigation brought out the fact that the Admiral, old in service and honored by the Queen and the people of flrtat Britain, had committed suicide ire this spectacular and terrible manner, tak- ing with him to his death the battleship, and hlsvofflcers and crew. HALF MAD WITH GRIEF. It was then rumored that Jhe cause fo the frightful act of the Admiral was tha npproachlngi marriage of Prince George, It was said that his daughter was tho. woman popularly known as "the lady of Malta." and thut when he discovered tha shame that had attached to his name he had gone half nmd with grief. Whem these thirgs camel to light, the world was not at a loss, for a motive for his last ' fearful act. It was then stated that ha had taken that mode to escape ronMha shame-and degradation forced upon-hln, by his sovereign. - v ; ELKS OF DEAD WOOD. DEADWOOD, S.
