• BUDAPEST, Jan. 28.--The last chapter in the tragic tale of a Hungarian gypsy's love for a Belgo-American princess closed today with the death in Kaposvar of the widow of the once well-known orchestra conductor, Jancsi Rigo.
Rigo and his gypsy orchestra had played with great success in all the capitals of Europe. He lived happily with his wife and his daughter, Simplicius, also a gypsy musician, also well-known at this time, until he met during a Paris engagement the beautiful and wealthy Belgian Princess Caraman Chimay, once Clara Ward of Detroit. They were married in 1889 but were divorced after a few years. Though his first wife still yearned for him, Rigo, instead of returning to her, went to America, where he died four years ago.
His wife went to her grave at the age of 65, still faithful to his memory.4305
