AN ENIPERoIps GIFT.
Francis Joseph, of Austria, Honors u
Little Montgomery Girl.
Montgomery Advertiser.l


Montgomery Advcrtiser.l
An Advertiser reporter yesterday saw q
beautiful piece of jewelry, which has very
interesting hlssory; 1t is not likely that there
is another such IN America. II is n present
from the emperor of Austria to little child
here In the city. In design Il is four-leaf
clover in gold, with lovely diamond dew
drop in its center. Upon its back Is this
inscription, engraved In the most tasty
manners "From His Imperial Majesty, EN-
peror Francis Joseph l, to Charlotte Pollak,
Ischel, 18th August, 1897
From Mr.. Ignatius Pollak, the little girls
father, the following account of the impe-
rial gift is obtained Mrs. Pollak spent last
summer at the famous Alpine resort. 1schel
The Austrian emperor was there at the same
time. The 18th of August was little Char
lotte's sixth birthday. Her aunt, without
Mrs. Pollak's knowing IL, remembering
that the 18th was also the emperor's birth
day, wrote note OF congratulation from
the child as little American girl on her
sixth birthday to the emperor on his fifty
fourth, and signed 1t simply Charlotte" !"
The note was accompanied by small
bunch Of flowers. Nothing was heard OF
the modest tribute Of regard until eight
days nfterward when the emperor's master
Of ceremonies called upon Mrs. Pollak, and
In the name of his sovereign presented
the beautiful token already described.
He told the lady that when the
emperor came across the simple note
and bunch Of flowers from an American
child in the files Of presents, he was so
struck with its sincerity and disinterested-
ness that he shed tears, and directed that
the child's full name be obtained and her.
self sought out in order that his thanks
might be returned along with memento of
his esteem.
The incident is significant as showing that
even emperors have hearts that can be
touched amid all the pomp and flattery that
surrounds them. The handsome evidence
when she grows older, no piece in her jewel
casket, however superb, will be so valuable
In her eyes.

ed that the fall had not only crush
ed nearly all his vital organs, but
also disclosed the fact that, in spite
of his magnificent muscular de
velopement and stalwart physique,
his body was far from sound.
There was II tubcrcular deposit
at the epex Of the left lung, his
liver had been ruptured years be-
fore and healed again, and one kid
ney showed fatty degeneration,
while the other was full of cystic
degeneration. That is to say, he
was likely to become consump.

and vet Odlum was a man OF fine
physique and rugged appearance.
When Garfield died the surgeons
learned that his digestive organs
were not in a good condition,
though he was remarkably strong.

same way with one of the athletic
hardy despcraadoes killed in the
fight near Shelby. Ohio, Il year or
