The Keileys In Vienna.

Recent information from high official
circles in Vienna indicates that the lot
of the Keileys there will be by no
means happy one. The Austrian court
is vory exclusive one, and does not
think kindly of our State Department
for sending to it man who was unac-
coptablo to Italy, a far younger power.
Further than that, it does not recognize
marriages between Catholics and non
Catholics. aud therefore regards tho
marriage Of Mrs. Kelley TO the Virginia
"diIlomaW invalid, consideration
which will shut both the American rep
reseutative and his wife out Of society,
and even bar them from ordinary social

cept in the most formal way. IL A. evil

II is placed in Central Park upon little

It faces tho west and is nine feet high
upon pedestal of Quincy granite, three
feet high, designed by Hunt. The figure
represents Puritan of tho early part of
the aUyunieonth century, dressed ia tho

looking in the distance with u sweeping
