The Spanish Court.

A passing notice of the principal fig
ures who are to surround the royal pair
will not be amiss. The King has three
sisters, who live in the royal palace.
The eldest of these ladies is the Prin-
cess Maria Isabella of Asturias, infanta
of Spain, aged IS years, and for the last
eight years the widow of the Count Cir
GENT. She has been a second mother
to Alphonso. Highly intellectual, well
read, modest, she has aimed to no higher
role than that of being the consoling
and protecting guardian angel Of her
brother. Her only ambition is his hap
piness. Her face is singularly sweet
and serene. The second sister is the in
fanta Maria de la Paz, who is seventeen
years old, tall and slender, pretty and
graceful, and an excellent musician.
The third is the infanta Maria Eulalia.
She is Is years of age and still more
blonde and slender than her sister Ma.
ria. She has lovely eyes, and she is a
wonderful linguist. Among the men of
the court the most prominent are Count
Morphy, the Duke Of Sesto, and the
Count of Onate. Count Morphy is a
perfect type Of the Castillian gentlemen,
learned, good natured and devoted to
his King, to whom he was formerly tu-
tor and is now secretary. He excl cises
most wholesome influence upon AL
fonso. He keeps aloof from the conten.
tions of politics, his one passion being
art, which he patronizes in true Mae
cenas fashion. The Duke OF Sesto, who
married the Duchess of Morny, is the
head of the Kings household. His po-
litical career has been very short. 1t
ended with the coronation of Alfonso
which was largely his work. He is a
great friend of Frascuelo, the bull fight
er, fact which certainly does not argue
well for his TASTE Count Onate is a
venerable old man. He was one Of the
most loyal servants of Isabella, and he
now serves her son with equal fidelity.
He is that type of those faithful men
upon whom ''El Rey" can always de-
pend N. Y. Sun.

yachts, with tonnage of $4,000 tons,

Willing to Give Away.

On the Jefferson Avenue line yes
terday a woman of fifty made up to
look about twenty-five years old,
got aboard at a crossing to find
every seat occupied. She stood for
a moment, then selected a poorly
dressed man about forty-five years
of age, she observed:
care there no gentlemen on this
carr"
s"Indeed, l Dunno" he replied, a.
he looked up and down. 'If there
hain't, and you are going cleaI
through, I'll hunt up one for you a

There was an embarrassing 81

he rose and said:
"You can have this seat, madame

up and give my seat to anybody oil

That decided her. She gave hin
a look which he will not forget t.

strap she refused to sit down, ever

MISS Nelson's Birth.

Miss Nelson was born in st Pc
ter's Square, Leeds, March 3, 1S49
Her real name was Elizabeth 4nl
Brown. Her father was a basket
maker, who for a long time occupied
a cellar as a workshop. At an ear
w age she evinced a strong passion
for the stage, and n night, after
shaking hands with her uncle on
old Leeds bridge, she ran away from
home and eventually found herself
in London. She was then scarcely
13 years of age. Joining the c9rps
de ballet at one of the metropolitan
theaters, she made her first appear
ance on the stage in the yorkshire
Lass" Her great natural talents
and beauty e brought her into
prominent notice, and her rise in her
profession was rapid and brilliant.
When still a mere girl she contract
ed a marriage with a person named
Lee; her only child, born many years
ago, died in infancy. Miss Nelson
never acted in her native town, but
it was known that she had . desire
to do so, and, indeed she mentioned
to her uncle a little while before her
departure to America her wish to
appear at the Grand Theatre.
Probably had she lived this inten
ton would have been errried out.
Her mother, to whom with |charac-
teristic generosity, she allowed f3oo
a year when fortunes golden stream
began to flow towards her, is still
living and resides in the %neighbor-
hood of Guisley. On receipt of the
sad intelligence of her daughters
death she at once proceeded to Paris
and vas present at the funeral,
though few among the crowd were
aware of the fact.

Earning Her Own Living.


Two large cities full Of people are us
tOnished at the statement thata wealthy
and intelligent Brooklyn girl has left
her home and old associations with the
intention of earning her own living by
hard work This astonishment is so
uncomplimentaryt to the spirit of Young
ladies in general that the particular
lady in question may be regarded as a
practical defender of her sex. Why
rich lady, more than rich man, should
devote life to doing nothing is more
than any one can explain, Thousands
of ladies already are devoting their
time and means to worthy enterprises
merely for the sake of having some
thing definite to do, and if one of
the sex chooses to adopt down
right hard work and to live on
the proceeds of her industry, is is
nobody's business but her own. If
more women who need fear 10 wolf at
the door were to do likewise they would
be the wiser for it and the world would
be better. A great deal of the mnec-
essary injustice and suffering i'll the
world comes of the ignorance of the
well-tO-do classes about the lives of
those who are socially beneath them.
The merchant, even he of Well-trained
muscles who spends an hour or two in
rolling barrels or moving heavy pack
ages, learns exactly how it is that his
men do not sometimes move as lively
as he would like them to do; he may
even learn why the same men some
times slip around the corner and invest
their part of their small earnings i'll
whisky. If the Brooklyn girl referred
to goes into shop, factory or domestic
service and with her earnings makes
ends meet, she will never afterward
make unnecessary trouble when shop
ping; she will not wonder why working
girls look pale and dress badly, and she
will be unlikely to have trouble with
servants when she has household of
her own to manage. After she has
tired of her experiment, and returns
to the enjoyment Of her own
or her fathers handbook, her
money will go twice as far us
before. and whatever it buys will be
thoroughly enjoyed. If, later, she
marries, she viii not be likely to com
plain if her husband does not earn as
much MS she may desire to spend, and
she will not run the slightest risk of
running the said husband by extrava-
gance. Not many girls, however, will
be willing, even for the sake of learn
ing so much, to devote months or years
to common steady labor; so the world
has no immediate prospect Of being re-
generated by woman'S knowledge Of
how her sisters live
