Royal Measles

January 21. 1901

Several members of the German nobility contracted measles after attending the funeral of the late Grand Duke of Saxe-Weimar, reports the New York Times.  The Duke Regent of Mecklenburg-Schwerin and the Duchess, a daughter of the late Grand Duke, have both come down with the disease after staying at "the infected schloss."  The young Duke of Saxe-Weimar is also ill with the measles.
