pretended from monopolies, has already
given him national reputation as a clear
thinker and finished orator, is native
Of this State, and for many years resided
in our city. He was born at Salem, in
the year 1925, where his parents then
resided. In the year 1912 they removed
to this city with their children, six in
number, including Newton, the Cover
nor, then boy of seventeen. In 1915
or lA6 Governor Booth graduated at
Ashbury University, Greencastle. In
1850 he went to California and located
at Sacramento, where he became a sue
eessiul and leading merchant. About
the year 1857 he returned to Terre Haute
and became associated with Hon. ii. D..

from this district, in the practice of law.

Az Ex.EMPEROR,

Many OF those who visited the EXPOSE
t;on at Vienna failed to find out that
there we're two living persons who have
been Emperor of Austria. Yet such is
the case. The present Emperor, Francis
Jo.epb. is one, and his uncle Ferdinand
;s the other. The latter is now eighty
years old, and is becoming quite decrepit.
IL. walks with much difficulty, has to be
carried up and down stairs, and drawn
about his apartments in a bath chair.
ferdinand, who is still called the EN-
neror. was crowned as King of Hungary
in 1880, Emperor of Austria in 1885,
King of Bohemia in 1886. and King of
Lombardy in 1888. Butwhen that MEM
orable wear of revolutions came, 1S4S,
his empire was shattered in pieces by tu-
mults and revolts in nearly all its prov
inces. Ferdinand, with his whole family,
aed from the capital to Innsbruck. In
Vienna a constitution was proclaimed,
with a responsible ministry and q ma
tional guard. The Emperor afterward
returned there, but only to seek safety in
n second flight to Olmutz. Soon after he
abdicated in favor Of his nephew, Francis
Joseph, and then, with his consort, Ma
ria Anna, proceeded to Prague, which
has ever since been his home.
For twenty-five years he has resided in
the Hradschin, where he keeps up a
miniature court, composed of few faith
ful attendants and dependents and a
guard Of soldiers. The Bradshin itself
is a right royal residence. Looking from
the palace windows you can see the
quaint and stately city of Prague almost
Seneath your feet. There is broad
plain, the river Moldan, wide and deep,
and vista of gittering spires, pictur-
esoue towers, gables and monum etal
bridges, the whole scene being shut in
by castle. crowned hills such as would
enchant the most piosaic eye. But the
old palace with its i90 chambers, its vast
halls, and its maze OF corridors and gal
leries, must sometimes seem gloomy to
the royal pair, with their few friends who
are Just enough to make the size and
loneliness of the place apparent, as sim
gle taper serves to make the darkness of
cavern visible.
The ex-Emperor has a large income,
which he distributes among the poor,
.and for charitable purposes with lavish
generosity. He has been known to lean
from the windows of his palace and
throw gold and silver coin to the crowd
beneath, until there was not a kreutzer
left in his pocket. In his contributions
to pious objects he is always joined by
the Empress Maria Anna, who in her
own name gives an equal amount with
himself. When he abdicated he declared
he would never revisit Vienn, and he has
kept his word. He has rarely been be-
yond Prague and its close vicinity, nor
do members Of the royal family often
visit him. He was always simple in his
tastes and kind to his interiors Before
he came SO broken down he sometimes
ambled alone about the country, drop
ping in upon poor cottagers, and asking
permission to join them in their frugal
meal. But Ferdinand is getting old and
will soon pass away, only to be remem-
bered as the Royal Hermit of the
hradschin.

Col. J. W. NEsMrrH who has Just been

language in speech at the Dallas dur

is sound on the main question that is
now exciting the American people, and
to which fact he is indebted for his cleo
ton, as Oregon is a Republican State.
He said: "By the poverty and toll that

labors of my mature years, and by this
good right arm, l declare that will ever
