Empress Eugenie and the Widows Left by the , Tragedies of Austria and Mexico. Two Queens Regent. It is just a thought astonishing to reckon the number of royal widows, regnant or nncrowned, now more pr less in public view. First, of course, comes Her Majesty Victoria, Empress of India, Queen of England, Scotland, and Ireland. Next to her one must rank her eldest child, Victoria, Empress Dowager of Prussia, more commonly known as Empress Frederick. Then, ' in the same family circle, there are the Duchess of Albany, born Princess of Waldeck-Pyrmont, and widow of the English Queen’s youngest son, and the lately bereaved Princess of Battenberg, who is to be the Duchess of Kent in her own right. Upon the Continent there are a pair of widowed queens regent—Christine of Spain and Emma of Holland. Both have won golden opinions from those they govern, no less than from impar- tial onlookers. Queen Emma is, by the who is said to have been the first William of Holland. She refused him, but her sister threw herself into the breach, inspired doubtless by the knowl- edge that reigning sovereigns, even though somewhat battered and worse for wear, were not likely to come often a-wooing in starveling if princely house- holds. So they were married, and there is a. little Queen of Holland to cheat the anticipations of the house of Cumber- land. But none of the queens or empresses can put out of court Dagmar, some- time of Denmark, now the widowed Czarina, Marie Feodorowna. It must have gone hard with her, in spite of the splendors the change implied, to give over her Spanish name, which means “daydawn,” for an appellation so cum- brous. Feodorowna means, by the way, “daughter of Theodore,” as does Paul- ovna "daughter of Paul.” The termi- nation “Ovna” or “owna” has in all ' cases that significance in Russian names, just as the sufiix “vitch” means always “son of”; thus Alexandrovitch is “the son‘ of Alexander.” Austrian royalty has two widows out- right, between whom it is hard to say which has the more tragic story. All the world still remembers the tragedy of Meyerling—hOw the Crown Prince Rudolph shot himself, and the beautiful Marie Vectsera, leaving his wife, Ste- phanie of Belgium, by no means dis- consolate, as the pair had been on the point of judicial separation. Still the shock and shadow of it ”all fora time overwhelmed her. But she has no con- tinuing sorrow such as has driven to madness Carlotta, once Empress of Mexico, who missed seeing her husband, Maximilian, shot only because she had gone to Europe asking for help for him, where no help was. Yet it is a ques- tion if, in spite of all, she is not less unhappy than her sister, the Empress Elizabeth of Austria, who has been for long years widowed in all but name. Besides Empress Eugenie, widowed, childless, a widowed shadow of her beautiful self, France has a Duchess of Orleans, whom the Legitimists rank as Queen Dowager—not to mention the wife of her murdered President, Car- not. And there is more than a Gallic trace in the youngest of royal widows. the Bonaparte Princess, who married her uncle, the Duke D’Aosta, and since his death has set the Italian court wild with her freaks. ' LADY RANDOLPH CHURCHILL. She May Possibly Regain Her Citizenship by Marrying ‘Villiam “’aldorf Astor. ‘Lady Randolph Churchill, formerly Miss Jennie Jerome, of New York, and widow of the immortal English states- man, by the Leeds Mercury is reported to be engaged to marry William \Vai- dorf Astor. .

Gage Ca-n Sing Only Under Infiltfi Influence, but Needs No Sven“ 1 There is a real Trilby in New York City—a woman of wealth and promi- nence, who, like Du Maurier’s heroine. cannot ordinarily sing at all, but whose pure vocal notes and marvelous per- formances on the piano charm all who hear them when she is under the influ4 ence of a. hypnotic spell. She is Mrs. Addie Belden Gage, who lives with her husband at the fashionable Hotel Em- pire, Fifty-fourth Street and Columbus Avenue. Her strange case has been the marvel of her friends, as, indeed, it has been of herself, for years. It dif- fers from that of Trilby in that Mrs. Gage has no Svengali—the influence comes on, apparently, of itself. No one suggests it. Mrs. Gage feels no ill ifects. Of what occurs during the presence of the influence she is ignor- ant. She has never heard herself sing. . aka»): 1‘ I . one ”'5 // . c: e ~ elf”, ' \“h’(’g ‘5.

A Useful and Decorative Addition to Household Impediments. ‘ _ A delightfully decorative and useful note in my lady’s morning room, or a cozy setting for the corner of her bed- room, is the sewing screen, a. gracious little affair combining all the comforts of thread basket, pincushion, needle- case, work bag, catch-all, and table. One such screen, which graces the bed- room corner of the home of a busy little housewife, is fashioned of yellow denim and a delicately flowered yellow silk, and can be very easily carried out in any color by a pair Of clever hands. The framework, which consists of two leaves eighteen inches wide, is about three feet high and is covered from the outside and fastened on the inside cor- ners with fancy gilt nails. Each leaf is divided into three parts, the upper and lower given over to pockets made of the silk. A needle case covered with silk and a, pincushion of yellow plush hang from the top of each leaf, re- spectively. Two flat pieces of paste- board covered with the silk fall against the middle division of each leaf, one being held by ribbons to form a wide pocket, the other standing for a small shelf or table when caught by ribbons to two fancy- headed nails on either side of the screen above. Nothing so con- venient was ever put into so small-a space before, according to the owner of this housewifely joy. For it is a joy. she will tell your Here is always the very thread and needle one wants at her very hand." Here is room for one’s work of various kinds. The table, pin- cushion. scrapbasket,;and scissors, which hang at the side, are ever ready, and all practical things considered, this home keeping attachment has the merit be- side of being a thing of beauty. The Largest Ever qult. The largest schooner ever built on, the Atlantic coast has been constructed at Bath, Me. She is a four-master and has been named the William B. Palmer. Her dimensions are: Length, 257 feet' breadth, 42 feet; depth, 20 feet, and gross tonnage, 1,805.73. The largest schooner previously built is the Gov.

An International Agreement For the Sup- pression of All Physical Force Men. William’s Rejuvenation of the Army Breeds Discontent. BERLIN, Sept.- 28.—-According to in- formation received from a good source by your correspondent here, an agreement has been reached between the Russian and German governments to exercise pressure upon the other European governments to bring about an international arrangement to deal with anarchistic plots and plotters and if possible to cause a revision of .the international extradition treaties. This entente resulted from the meeting of the czar and Emperor William at Bres- lau. M. Shishkinc, the acting Russian minister for foreign affairs for Russia, is trying to gain the adhesion of France to the arrangement, and an exchange of notes between Germany, Austria and Italy is also proceeding. In addition it is hoped that Great Brit- ain, in view of the dynamite plot said to have been discovered by Scotland Yard, will join in: the schema, by which anar- chists and all physical force men will be classed among common criminals for or tradition purposes. . The large number of generals and other high Prussian officers "who have been placed on the retired list since the late army maneuvers has led The Vossische Zeitung to point out that since the ac- cession of Emperor William 546 Prussian generals have been retired and that 276 ro- tired generals are still living from before his accession, adding that altogether 757 Prussian generals are drawing pensions. Military mdignation. Other newspapers, including even some of the Conservative organs, are joining in the complaint and stating that the average age of the retired generals is reduced ev- ery year. This year it is 55 years of age against 63 in 1890. Another long list of retirements is expected within a fortnight, and it is considered certain that the reichs- tag this winter will take the matter up. The budget commission will insist that full light be shed upon the matter and will ask for guarantees that the rejuvena- tion era will be closed before the commis- sion passes the next military budget. Moreover, there is considerable indigna- tion at the fact that the emperor has highly decorated the three chiefs of his military cabinet, Hahnko, Plessen and Arnim, and that the bill providing for reform in military trials has again been sent- to the minister for war in order to revise it and frame it more in accordance withhis majesty’s wishes and less in ac- cordance with popular wishes. The bill itself will not reach the i'eichstag until late in the session. The bundesrath will meet early in Octo- ber, and the colonial council assembles on Oct. 13. The latter will devote special attention to bringing about the cessation of slavery in the colonies and the organ- ization of criminal tribunals there. ‘ The foreign office has resolved to renew the order forbidding the handling of Rus- sian government paper on the German boerses unless the Russian government abandons its hostile. tarifi measures against German exports. Such an order was is- sued by Prince Bismarck in 1887 and re- mained in force until 1894. In the mean-v While less serious retaliatory tariff meas- ures are being planned, and the prohibi- tion against the import of Russian cattle, hogs, etc, will be rigorously enforced. Exports and Imports. Official statistics show that German ex- ports to the United States in 1895 totaled up 368,699,000 marks, compared with 271,115,000 in 1894. During the same pe- riod the imports from the United States were 511,703,000 marks against 532,939,- 000 marks, while the total imports from all countries were 4,246,111,000 marks, and the total exports to all countries were 3,424,076,000 marks, compared with 4,285,- 533,000 marks and 3,051,480,000 marks in 1894. . A big military camp similar to the French camp at Chalons, capable of ac- commodating awhole division, is being erected at Doeberitz. . Emperor William has purchased a cha- teau at Abenberg, Bavaria, from Herr Anton Schott, the famous tenor, for 350,7 000 marks. His majesty intends to spend part of each autumn in shooting there. Artificial teeth have hitherto been chiefly imported into Germany from 'America, and the Prussian government has spent 50,000 marks in experiments to discover the method of American manu- facture. A chemist named Wienand late- ly succeeded in making teeth closely re- sembling the American article, and a large factory at Pforzhein is now engaged in' manufacturing them. The first official report of trichinosis in American hog products in Germany will be published next February. Count von Goetzen, a first lieutenant of uhlans of the guard and known as an African explorer, will on Dec. 15 next suc~ cos the Germany military attache at Washington. The United States ambassador, Mr. Edwin F. Ulil, has been confined to his bed during the past week by an attack of rheumatism. Mr. Charles DeKay, the United States consul general, and Mrs. DeKay have started on a trip to south Germany and Italy. Customs Employees Discharged. “ PHILADELPHIA, Sept; 28.—In order to comply with the recent order of the treas- ury department, Collector of Customs Read has ordered the discharge of five day inspectors, two clerks, two .welghers and five laborers in the Philadelphia cus- tom house. The salaries of the employees . retained will be reduced. The reason for this economy is a heavy deficiency’in the annual appropriation for the customs serv- ice. ’ . Cowardly Assassination. SPARTA, Ga, Sept. 2S.—Mr. Dave Sil- ver, one of Sparta’s wealthiest and most prominent citizens, while on'his Way to supper last night accompanied. by his brother, was cowardly assassinated. The assassin sprang from a dark alley and fired five shots, all of which took effect in the back, causing‘instant death. ' The Revolt-In fl‘lbet.
