family, and the Austrian kaiser Is Just now
suffering the miseries attendant on an at
tempt to do SO and failure. There are too
many free spoken men about palaces, too
many prying journalists, too many inquisi-
tive women; doctors can no longer be COM
PEELED to sign false certificates, and IL a wit
ness were now kidnapped and held in secret
Imprisonment the world would insist on find
ing him.
The first announcement Of the death Of the
crown prince Of Austria, Archduke Rudolph,
gave apoplexy as the cause and the people
believed it. The doctors insisted on reporting
that he died of pistol shot, and so the Inn
perial authorities announced that the prince
committed suicide in a ft Of dependency,
and now the people refuse to believe either
story. They know that he was at outs with
his legal wife, the Princess Stephanie, daugh-
ter Of Leopold II Of Belgium, that applica-
ton had been made to the pope with view
to securing divorce, that the pope would
not listen to such proposition, and that
Rudolph had still persistently set his affec-
lions on the Baroness Mario Veczera. And
out of these facts and some clever surmises
tho journalists and diplomats have constructed
several ingenious and sensational stories
The claim that Rudolph committed suicide
alone was soon admitted to DO false, for the
Baroness Veczcra was there, dead by him, so
It was next announced semi-ofilcially that
they had committed suicide together. It is
significant that this story was rejected OF
once by those who knew the baroness best;
and any one who studies her portrait care
fully viii find proof that their reasoning is
correct Her beauty is remarkably like that
often seen in quadroon women of the south
ern states-a beauty of form and color only,
carnal, sensuous, voluptuous. She was still
in the prime Of life and in excellent health;
shc had not the sensitive nature that would
feel disgrace very keenly, and in Austria
liaison with prince is not disgraceful. She
was evidently woman who enjoyed the
present and took very little thought for the
future. Such women do not commit suicide.
1t Is Of course possible that Rudolph killed
her and then himself; but the opinion is gain
ing ground that both were killed by third
party.
If ono may judge from the pictures and de-
scriptions tho archduke was peculiarly I'M
fortunate-a victim of the state policy which

reckless radicalism of his writings that
first caused him to lose standing. He
owned also q weekly literary paper,
which was great favorite among the
middle class Irish. In 1867 he was more
radical than ever, but on losing the con-
fidence of the Irish patriots he was soon
suspected of treachery. Indeed, his ne
cessities were such that he finally took
the desperate step of selling his knowl-
edge to the Dublin Castle authorities.
For years he led that strange, restless,
evasive life, CT which bits here and there
have been revealed, now figuring as
spy and again as scribbler for various
papers, but all the time dealing out the
vilest abuse of those with whom he had
formerly acted. AS soon as the articles
on "Parnellism and Crime" began to
appear in The London Times, many
people in Ireland said: ut is the work
of Pigott;" but the most experienced APP
pear to have had no suspicion at first of
forgery. In London, however, a few Of
the knowing ones predicted at the start
that there had been forgery and that
Pigott was the forger. His family In
Ireland is quite respectable, and at one
time he moved in the best society of
Dublin, being also an honored man In
the ranks of the Irish Nationalist. His
career adds an extraordinary instance
to the many treacheries by which Ire
land has suffered.

SHAMoKIN, Pa, March ia number
of Italian and Hungarian miners at
Hickory Swamp were gambling in
boarding house, when an italian was de-
tected cheating. A quarrel arose and
after vigorous rough and tumble fight,
a Hungarian drew revolver and COM

two men. Weapons Of all kinds were
then drawn and Andrew Peni received
knife thrust in the neck, while several
others were slashed in a fearful manner.
During the struggle Michael Sisson left
the scene and went home. Finding his
wife in bed and asleep he picked her up
in his arms, and throwing her on the
floor, kicked her terribly. When in the
midst of his british work, the woman
gave premature birth to dead child. A
body of Hungarians, who were attracted
by the woman's screams, entered the
house, and secured a clothes line to
lynch Sisson, but he escaped from win

ball into his brain. In all the history of
British law courts and politics, there is
no other such instance of moral degrade

jurers, like Titus Oates, were originally
men of base order, while Pigott was
once highly respected citizen of Dublin,
a trusted leader among the Irish patriots,
and writer of conceded ability. From
that position he had sunk 80 low that he
