I‘CARLOTTA OF MEXICO
THE SAD BUT INTERESTING STORY
OF THE MAXMILLIANS REVIVED..
After Thirty Years‘ Life as a Maniac, the
Ex-Empress Is Regaining Her Mind—
Plans for a Visit to the Scenes of Her
Youthful Splendor. '
One of‘the most interesting, pathetic
and tragic personages in modern his-
tory is the mad ex-Empress Carlotta
of Mexico. Royal blood flows in her
veins, yet is the poorest peasant more
powerful and free; imperial beauty
once set its splendor upon her face and
form, but time and tragedy have frost-
ed h'er shining dark tresses, dimmed
the brilliancy of her eyes and stolen
the majesty and beauty from her state-
’ 1y figure.
Forty years ago this lovely and hap-
less woman was married to the bril—
liant and handsome young Archduke
Maximillian, brother of the present

CARLOTTA OF MEXICO.
Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria.
The beautiful young bride was the fav-
orite child and only daughter of Leo—
pold I, ,King of the Belgians, and she
brought her husband a handsome dot
and all that was lovely and winning in
woman. 0n the sunlit shores of the
blue Adriatic Maximillian built a su-
perb palace for himself and bride, and
called it Miramar. It is to—day one
of the loveliest of royal residences in
Europe, and is the favorite home of
the Austrian Empress Elizabeth. In
1864 Louis Napoleon, after having sub-
jugated Mexico, decided he would es-
tablish a great Latin empire across the
sea, in the New World, and while pre-
tending that Mexico should choose its
own government he arranged that'the
country should select a head pleasing
to him. Thus handicapped, the Mex-
icans decided on a limited hereditary
monarchy, with a Catholic prince.
The imperial crown was offered to
Maximillian, who, with a heart more
full of love for his beautiful young
wife than of ambitious dreams for
himself, seemed not specially attracted
by the far-away splendor. But Car-
lotta, with a woman’s love for power
and royal grandeur, urged her young
husband to become the Emperor of the
Mexicans, and her pleadings won the
day.
On April 14, 1864, the imperial cou-
ple embarked from Trieste with a con-
voy of twelve steamers and an impos-
ing retinue of Austrian, French and
Mexican oflicers of high rank.
They landed'at Vera Cruz, amid
,plaudits, welcomes and proolamations,
and they entered Mexico’s capital in
the midst of an imposing and imperial
pageant. Ancient'Chapultepec was se-
lected for the imperial residence, and
a' brilliant court was established,
wherein the young couple shone as
splendid figures, in the power and light
of Old World royalism.
‘. But an unruly and haughty army of
opposing elements soon taught the
young Emperor the difficulty. of his
position. Dark and imperious hidal-
goes were determined that no foreign
king should rule over Mexico, and fan-
atical priests, vengeful Indians, brig-
ands and adventurers joined the hi-
dalgoes. The “Black Degree,” which
Maximillian signed against his wishes,
hastened his overthrow. This docu—
ment decreed that all revolters under
Juarez should be captured and shot,
and the slaughter was something fear-
ful. The Civil War of America’ended
about this time, and the Government
at Washington, carrying out the Mon-
roe Doctrine, ordered Louis Napoleon
to let Mexico alone. He did so, and
Maximillian and Carlotta were left to
'their fate. '
Francis Joseph offered to restore the
Austrian succession to Maximillian,
but his pride was aroused and he re-
solved to stay and conquer or lose it
all. Carlotta began to tremble at the
clouds that speedily lowered about her
husband. In July, 1866, she went to
Europe to secure aid for the tottering
New-World empire. Her father, Leo-
pold I of Belgium, had died the year
before, leaving his many millions
equally divided between his son and
his daughter, the Empress of Mexico.
Carlotta looked ‘upon this inheritance
as a providential relief for her husband
and hastened to Belgium to secure con-
trol of the fortune. When she reached
Brest she learned that her brother pos-
itively refused to allow her to put her
inheritance to the cause so near her
heart, and the poor, frenzied young
Empress, seeing her dearest hopes
fleeing from her, gave way to a fearful
burst of anger and resentment that
shook the walls of her reason; She
cursed and denounted her brother, and
so completely was she shattered and
unnerved that she fainted while talk-
ing with Louis Napoleon in. the Tul—
leries', imploring him to help her hus-
band. Carlotta hastened to Rome to
'8
see the Pope. Here, while conversing ,
with~ His Holiness, the weight of her
misfortune suddenly seemed suddenly
to crush her, and she broke out in
wild, mad ravings against her brother,
leaving the‘Vatican a hopeless maniac; '
Mind and memory were mercifully tak-
en at the same time, and Carlotta was
removed to beautiful Miramar, a wreck
and a living tragedy.
Meantime the young Emperor was
betrayed into the hands of his enemies
and was made to surrender to the two
generals, Escobedo and Palacia, on: May
19, 1867. A month later, on June 19,
with his two brave and loyal generals,
Mejia and Miramoir, Maximillian was
shot, his last words being for Mexico’s
happiness.
And now the poor, widowed, child-
less Empress after years of madness,
is said to be regaining her mind and
to long to visit Mexico, the scene of
her brief triumph and deathless suf—
fering. Prince Revenholler has been
in Mexico to obtain permission for
Carlotta to re-visit the country, and
it is understood that the request has
been granted. Every honor and at—
, tentio’n is to 'be paid her by the Mexij
can Government, ,and her physicians
say they think that she will be greatly
benefited by the journey.
She‘ is yet bitter and unforgiving
toward the brother whose sympathy
and aid were withheld from her in her
supreme hour of need, but the woman
seems gliding back toward the shadow
of the brief splendor of her youth, and
perhaps the pilgrimage to the shrine
. Where her husband fell may restore
the proud mind to the imperious bril-
liancy of its youth—New York Trib-
une. .
PARIS’ LATEST SENSATION.
An American Girl “’110 Became a Princess
and Then a Gypsy.
It is an American woman who just
now is engaging the eyes of the French
capital. She was bargained to a for-
eign prince by an ambitious mamma,
' but love was cold, and she eloped with
a gypsy musician who played at her
palace.
In Paris she is described as a feast
of beauty of white, soft, alluring flesh.
She is tempting in figure, and her lips
are ripe like the heart of a pomegran-
ate. She is all curves and softness,
and her flesh is white and firm like a
baby’s. She has exceeding grace and
a most charming smile that shows lit-
tle, even teeth. Her great eyes fol-
low you and then go back to her lov-
er’s face, for she sits and watches him
by the hour.
EX-PRINCESS CHIMAY.
When she drives in her carriage
he sits beside her in his smart clothes.
She keeps her hand on his knee or on
his wrist, and he likes the sensation
that is caused as the carriage sweeps
along. Her toilettes are beautiful. She
has retained her American chic and
taste, and she even exercises it on her
Gypsy for he rivals the smartest of
Parisian beaux in the shining perfec-
tion of his clothes.
When the Princess rides her wheel
the cafe chantants are deserted. She is
a whole performance and the band to
boot, for she gets herself up in the
most astounding costumes and parades
before the excited Parisiaus. She'has
had her photographs taken in one of
her costumes, which is of black velvet.
made with. bloomers and a blouse cut
away to show her white throat. The
bloomers, reaching just to the knee,
show her soft, pretty legs in transpar-
ent, black-silk stockings, and a little
three-cornered cap is perched on one
side of her head.
THE BIG GUN AN ELEPHANT. .
Difficult to Shoot it \Vithout Hitting
Some Other Country.
Some years ago the rulers of the
little republic of Andorra decided that
the country should possess a cannon.
Krupp, therefore, was ordered to man-
ufacture one of the most modern type.
The great gun arrived at its destina-
tion in due time, and was placed on
the highest point in the “country,” so
that the citizens could see that the val—
ley was Well protected. A day was ap-
pointed to try the cannon, which was
able to send a ball eighteen kilomet-
ers. To direct the shot, however, to-
wai d the surrounding mountains would
be the same as firing at France or
Italy, as the ball would necessarily fall
on the territory of one of these coun-
tries.‘ A war ‘might be the result.
It was then decided to shoot the ball
in the air, but some one suggested that
this would endanger the lives of too
many people in its descent, and possi-
bly bore a great hole in the republic of
Andorra. Good council prevailed, and
the two artillerymen were commanded
to unload the gun. The sliot has not
yet been fired according to the latest
accounts, and the good republicans are
uncertain what to do with their ex—
pensive gun.—Ohio State Journal.

Kittredge wrote and composed on the
night after he was drafted into the,
army.

HANDKERCHIEFS AND COMBS.
(1 lung: 3 Next Season In These fwo Acces-
sories of a \Voman’s Toilet.
(Br #1) -cial Arrangement with the N.Y. Sun.)
A very choice as well as most use-
ful morning dress for out-of-town
wear is of white serge trimmed with
coarse white braids, with very nar-
row gilt braid to bead it. It is worn
with either a scarlet or a white silk
skirt. The front of the shirt should be
fastened with gold studs, and the belt
finished with a gilt buckle. The coat
should be lined and faced with white
silk, edged with the two braids and
fastened with gilt buttons.
Handkerchiefs next season will be
gaudier than ever before. They will
be of all the colors of the rainbow,
in solids, stripes, plaids, polka dots
and figures. Even white ones will not
be plain, for, when not heavily em—
broidered, they will be lace trimmed,
not with one edge of lace as heretofore,
but with several lace frills placed one
above the other and on both sides of
the handkerchief, for the fashionable
article has neither right nor wrong
side. Travelling handkerchiefs should
never be lace-trimmed.

,One of the newest and daintiest
handkerchiefs to be seen is of sheer
white or light colored linen muslin,
with a triple border of finely plaited
footing. The footing of course is al-
ways white. There is no hemstitching,
the first row being whipped on a rolled
edge, while the second row is put on,
one row on either side of the handker-
chief; just above. This handkerchief,
though so simple that it could be easily
made at home. is especially dainty
looking, and adapted togo with the
most elegant toilet.
The new side combs for next seay
son’s wear come in sets of three and
four. The most stylish‘ are hinged to-
gether. In sets of four, one comb goes
above the knot, one below the knot,
and one on either side. In sets of
three, as‘a rule, the middle comb is to
be used above the knot, and is the least
bit, higher and more ornate than the
two side combs. Where the four are
hinged together, the tendency seems to
be to have them all alike, differing
only in length and curve.
And jewels, when used, are sunk in
the band, not raised above as for the
last,- few seasons. Amethysts, it is
said, will be the popular stonés,‘ and
only a few diamonds are shOw‘n, to be
worn in very black hair.
